A dream ends life

Just as Su Ci expected, the Shi family indeed contacted Yu Luohan as quickly as possible.

The person sent by the Shi family talked to Yu Luohan about something in the study room. After an hour, he said goodbye and left.

Yu Luohan didn't show any expression, but the next day, a group of officials and jailers of all ranks were sent to the Dali Temple's prison cell.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery came to the palace crying again.

Only then did Wu Peiyi realize that Yu Luohan was still in contact with the Shi family, and all the spies of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion in the Dali Temple had been pulled out.

After coaxing Madam Hou for a while, he finally persuaded her to leave. Then he went to find Yu Luohan.

At this time, Yu Luohan was reviewing memorials in the palace where he stayed.

"Ahan~" Wu Peiyi walked into the hall gracefully.

Yu Luohan glanced at her, then looked at the letter in his hand.

Wu Peiyi's eyes flashed, and she turned around and stood behind Yu Luohan.

She raised her jade-white hand, took the letter from Yu Luohan's hand, threw it aside, and hugged him from behind.

Yu Luohan was enveloped by her warmth and softness, and his nostrils were filled with the scent of her makeup.

A complex expression flashed across his face and he straightened his body involuntarily.

"Ahan, you are angry with me, right?" Wu Peiyi's voice was filled with a gentleness that could drown one's heart.

But Yu Luohan's heart was not moved at all. Once upon a time, this was the warmth he had been pursuing with his life, but since when did it become greasy and even a little disgusted to him?

"Ahan~ I had no choice. I didn't mean to hide it from you. You also know my situation. My eldest brother lost his life inexplicably. If I don't give them an explanation, my mother will not be able to live."

"I have already told Gu Qi that I will not make things difficult for your uncle and the others. I not only want to find out the facts, but also to clear their name. As long as they are innocent, nothing will happen to them."

"They are your uncle and brother. Even for you, I will not let anything happen to them, let alone wrongly accuse them. You can't misunderstand my painstaking efforts."

Wu Peiyi looked at Yu Luohan's expression and slowly explained how she had instructed the Dali Temple to forcibly arrest people and how she had pestered him and prevented him from returning home.

Yu Luohan listened to Wu Peiyi's words, and although he didn't show it on his face, he felt sad in his heart.

If he didn't know that Xu Qingyun was almost poisoned to death, he would have believed her.

He and Wu Peiyi had known each other since childhood, and Wu Peiyi was the only light in his miserable childhood.

When he felt he couldn't hold on any longer, she would always be by his side, making him feel that life wasn't so boring after all.

He was very grateful to Wu Peiyi, and he was willing to do all the planning, poison testing, and raising children for her for many years to come.

Both the Wu family and Wu Peiyi seemed to take his efforts for granted. He even knew that the Wu family treated him as Wu Peiyi's dog.

He was willing and never showed any attitude towards it. It was all voluntary and he didn't bother to explain it to others.

Is it his indulgence that makes these people think that he is really a dog without self? Even Wu Peiyi thinks so.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists.

"I know the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts, and I have no objection."

Wu Peiyi paused and her expression became interesting. When they were alone, Ahan never called her Empress Dowager.

Are we becoming estranged?

Wu Peiyi shook her body as if hurt, and put her arms around Yu Luohan's neck, her breath as sweet as orchid spraying on his neck.

"Ahan, please don't be angry with me, okay? I'm so afraid that you'll be angry with me, so afraid that you'll leave me, I can't live without you."

She bent down and kissed the tip of his ear. The two of them were like a pair of lovers in love, very close.

Yu Luohan's body trembled, but he did not push her away. He let her do whatever she wanted without responding or refusing.

He was very confused, very confused! He told himself clearly in his heart that Yi Er was his life, his everything.

But why did he feel guilty every time he was intimate with her? When they wanted to take the last step, he would be so scared that he dared not continue.

He didn't know why, but he knew that he rejected it in his heart.

He didn't like himself like this. Sometimes he felt like a despicable person who didn't even know what he wanted.

If you like her, hold on to her boldly; if you don’t like her, stay away from her. But he didn’t want to leave Wu Peiyi, but he couldn’t be devoted to her wholeheartedly.

The only thing in his mind was the face he thought about day and night, but he didn't have the courage to let her stay by his side. He couldn't protect her well, and let her get hurt again and again.

Su Ci and Wu Peiyi were both people he couldn't give up, but they weren't people he could treat wholeheartedly. He hated himself for being like this. It was totally unlike him.

Yu Luohan suddenly grabbed Wu Peiyi's rebellious hand and stood up.

"I have something else to do in the palace. I will leave the palace first. I will take my leave."

Wu Peiyi's face couldn't be any darker, her long nails dug into her palms, and she felt extremely hateful.

go home?

There are two delicate women in the mansion, can't they be put aside? And the eldest daughter of the Shi family has been making a lot of moves recently!

These bitches acted like they had never seen a man before, and they were causing trouble for her.

Shi Yuyan! Now that you're in jail, don't come out!

A ruthless look flashed in Wu Peiyi's eyes. How could a woman who was in jail have the qualifications to compete with her for a man!

……

After Yu Luohan left the palace, he felt irritated and missed Xu Zhinian and his son in prison, so he decided to go to the Dali Temple in person.

"Master Taifu, the suspect has not confessed yet and cannot contact the outside world. Please understand my difficulties and don't make things difficult for me."

Gu Qi was standing at the prison door, and the Grand Tutor was speaking humbly and earnestly to Yu Luohan.

Yu Luohan remained unmoved, "Get out of the way!" The cold air from his body made Gu Qi swallow.

Yu Luohan stopped pretending? He used to be concerned about his status and wouldn't be so sharp. What provoked him today?

"Master Taifu, you really cannot see the prisoner. If you insist, I can only go to the palace to ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to make the decision."

Yu Luohan looked at Gu Qi dangerously and said word by word: "Master Gu just said that they were just suspects, how come they are convicted as criminals now? Who gave you the confidence?!"

Gu Qi choked and said, "It was just a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Master Taifu."

Yu Luohan continued to walk in, and Gu Qi chased after him and stopped him: "Sir, no!"

Yu Luohan said, "It's okay for me not to go in, as long as you can ensure their safety. If anything goes wrong, you won't have to be the Minister of the Dali Temple anymore."

Gu Qi's face changed, and after thinking for a while, he stepped aside. He couldn't guarantee the safety of Xu Zhinian and his son. If nothing unexpected happened, they would die in there, and he didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

In the prison, Xu Qingyun rushed over to Yu Luohan after seeing him, looking at him eagerly: "Cousin, you are finally here, can we go home now?"

Yu Luohan didn't say anything, but just frowned: "Why are the father and son so embarrassed! Xu Qingyun's face was dark and looked like a dark cloud covering the sky."

"what happened to you?"

Xu Qingyun shed sad tears and recounted his experiences over the past few days, including how he was poisoned and almost died.

Yu Luohan couldn't believe it: "You said it was Ah Ci who saved you?"
