The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

A familiar atmosphere suddenly enveloped Shen Runing.

A deep voice sounded behind her ear.

"Ning'er."

"do not go."

Luo Mian's voice was gentle, yet commanding.

"It's all blood."

"dirty,"

Shen Runing turned around and met Luo Mian's gentle eyes.

"Why is Mian'er here?"

His chest pressed tightly against her thin back, his palms against her belly.

"It's a long story."

Suddenly he chuckled.

"Ning'er, come to think of it, you still need to reward me."

"what?"

Shen Runing was stunned.

"I just dealt with the conflict between your eldest brother and Wei Jiuzhao."

"They reconciled."

"I was worried about you, so I came to find you."

Shen Runing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Is this the time to talk about this? She didn't say anything, but her eyes couldn't help but look over there.

Zhe Qing seemed to have gone crazy, and Luo Yuwen's body was almost stabbed into two pieces.

If she is not stopped, the branches will be pulled out and burned as firewood.

Shen Runing's brows darkened.

"I can't just ignore her."

After saying that, her slender fingers broke free from Luo Mian's embrace and walked towards Zhe Qing without hesitation.

Luo Mian stood there, the corners of his mouth, which were originally slightly raised, slowly fell.

(?｀∧′)

Looking at Shen Runing's back, talking to himself.

"Ning'er just knows how to... ignore me."

His tone was melancholy and low enough that only he could hear it.

Yang Longtan, who was kneeling on the ground, had tears in his eyes when he looked at Luo Mian.

Finally, Yang Longtan crawled forward, lowered his head and knelt deeper, his voice trembling.

"Prince Ruyang..."

"Could you...let me in and allow me to avenge my son?"

"I will never forget this kindness!"

It turned out that Yang Longtan had planned to take advantage of the chaos in the palace tonight to sneak in again and kill Luo Yuwen.

However, they were blocked by a group of men in black.

After years of traveling and fighting, he recognized the identities of these men in black at a glance.

Prince Ruyang's shadow guard.

At that moment, a terrible and unbelievable idea came into his mind.

Prince Ruyang faked his death.

The fact is, he guessed right.

And those shadow guards who only showed their eyes didn't know who General Yang was.

Several dark shadows rushed forward.

If Luo Mian had not appeared by chance, Yang Longtan would have most likely died before achieving his goal.

"Get up, General Yang."

Luo Mian's tone was light.

But Yang Longtan knelt more sincerely, his voice trembling but his tone firm.

"I swear to follow King Ruyang until death!"

"I wish to serve King Ruyang with all my heart and soul, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords—"

"stop."

Luo Mian frowned and raised his hand to interrupt him.

Why does this make people so uncomfortable?

Why does following Queen Ruyang require one to go through fire and water?

What? Is Prince Ruyang an unforgivable criminal?

Yang Longtan suddenly became silent and shut his mouth.

After a moment, Luo Mian spoke.

"I really need your help with something."

"King Ruyang, please give your orders!"

Yang Longtan nodded immediately.

"Get up and talk."

Although he was talking to Yang Longtan, Luo Mian's eyes were always fixed on Shen Runing.

It probably means, 'Luo Yumin, if you go crazy and hurt Ning'er, I will send you to reunite with your mother.'

Yang Longtan rolled and crawled to his feet, his eyes burning as if he had seen a god.

Luo Mianshi gave Yang Longtan a look.

"Come with me in a moment."

"Help me get a man's head."

"it is good."

Yang Longtan agreed without blinking.

"I thought it was something else. I was just worried about whether I could do it..."

"It's just beheading, simple as that."

Luo Mian sneered, a cold arc appearing at the corner of his lips.

"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed."

"...If General Yang fails—"

His voice suddenly became low.

"Then I will take your head, General Yang."

Yang Longtan's forehead twitched and he almost fell down.

Cold sweat trickled down his back.

"Yes!"

In fact, Luo Mian originally planned to let Shen Li go for this matter.

only……

It was probably in the afternoon when Shen Li came back with Ji Yun in his arms, his eyes red.

He only said, "Liu Qing was captured." Then, without another word, he took Ji Yun to an inn in the south of the city to rest.

after all……

The emperor personally fed Ji Yun an aphrodisiac.

Luo Mian originally had a few more questions to ask Shen Li, but in the end—

Shen Li closed the door directly.

From the afternoon until now, it was almost dawn, and Luo Mian had not seen Shen Li again.

The two of them really rested for a long time, at this inopportune moment.

……

As for Shen Runing and Zhe Qing, the situation is very bleak.

Zhe Qing's spirit was almost broken.

Shen Runing couldn't stop her.

There is no time to comfort.

In the end, he had no choice but to take decisive action and seal Zhe Qing's Tongmian acupoint with three silver needles.

"hiss……"

Zhe Qing's body went limp and he fainted.

Then Yang Longtan carried Zhe Qing, and the four of them returned to Helan Duoduo Palace.

Helan Duoduo Palace has now become a "temporary shelter".

The crazy, the stupid, the exhausted, the injured... all were sent there.

After everything was settled, it was time for the two to part ways.

The sky was turning pale.

The night will eventually fade away.

Shen Runing stood in the corridor, and Luo Mian stood in front of her, lowering his head and straightening her collar.

The movements were very light and slow, as if he wanted to carve every minute and second into his heart.

Shen Runing lowered his eyes and did not move.

After a long time, he spoke softly.

"Mian'er goes east, I go west."

Luo Mian's fingers paused.

He didn't look up, but just stared at her collar, as if chewing on the taste of these words.

After a moment, his voice became hoarse.

"Ning'er, can I test you?"

Shen Runing looked up at him with a faint smile.

"Test me? Sure."

"If after today, I... fail to come back, you will—"

"—You will come back."

Shen Runing interrupted Luo Mian directly.

She smiled, but not as brightly as usual.

"Because of you, Mian'er—"

"You can't bear to leave me alone, right?"

Luo Mian was stunned.

He finally chuckled and slowly took her into his arms.

He murmured softly.

"Of course I can't bear to do that."

"But in this world, many things can't be avoided just because you don't want to."
