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

Helan Duoduo was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? I just came back from outside. What happened?"

Shen Runing stood up suddenly, his sleeves fluttering.

"Where did you come from outside?"

The voice suddenly rose, with a hint of questioning.

Helan Duoduo was obviously startled.

"I... I just went to see my elder brothers... Helan An and Helan Shaoshao."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Shen Runing, softening his tone in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.

It was the first time that Helan Duoduo saw Shen Runing like this, and he thought he had done something wrong.

"What's wrong, Ning'er? Why are you so fierce all of a sudden..."

"Did I do something wrong?"

Shen Runing's eyes turned cold.

Shaking his head.

"You did nothing wrong."

"But Duoduo, before Helan An and the other two brought you here, had they ever been to the palace?"

"Or to put it bluntly..."

"Did they really come to Tianyan to see you?"

Helan Duoduo opened his mouth and instinctively wanted to nod, but for some reason, his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

He was stunned for several seconds before uttering a sentence with difficulty.

"I am not sure."

Yes.

She had been abandoned long ago.

She, Helan Duoduo, has long been regarded as an "insignificant scrap" in the eyes of the Helan family.

In order to prevent Helan Shaoshao from marrying Tianyan, everyone conspired to deceive him.

Then how could Helan An and Helan Shaoshao come to see her specially?

Shen Runing took Helan Duoduo's hand and walked out.

"Let's go find them."

Helan Duoduo hurried to catch up, stumbling.

"Ning'er...what did you find out?"

Shen Runing frowned and walked as fast as the wind.

"I'm not sure yet... but if I'm right—"

"They probably brought something from Liuli and gave it to the emperor."

Helan Duoduo's expression changed.

"What!!"

……

The moment the door was pushed open with a bang,

The room suddenly exploded with curses.

"Helan Duoduo, you are really capable!"

"let me go!"

"When I get back I'll let my father kill you!"

"Bitch! How dare you!!!"

"Do you think you'll become tough just because you marry Tianyan?"

"Widow! Widow!"

Helan Shaoshao's hands and feet were tied and he sat on a chair.

He was so arrogant that his eyeballs almost popped out of his head.

He raised his head and was about to continue cursing, but when he saw Shen Runing at the door, his tone became even more angry.

"Shen Runing! Ha! You two are indeed in cahoots! Working together like a wreck!"

"Bitch!"

"Let us go! Do you hear me?!"

Shen Runing ignored her mad dog-like yelling.

He walked straight forward, leaned closer, and sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose.

The smell is very light.

But she still caught a hint of fragrance - slightly fishy, with the smell of vines and rotten roots.

His eyes suddenly darkened.

Then she confirmed that it was indeed the smell of 'fallen vines'.

Helan Shaoshao suddenly widened his eyes.

"Shen Runing, what are you crazy about?"

"What are you smelling!"

After Helan An glanced at the expressionless Helan Duoduo, he finally spoke.

"Miss Shen!"

He lowered his voice, trying to calm the situation.

"What are you and Duoduo doing? Imprisoning us for no reason, isn't that too much?"

"If you don't let me go——"

"stop."

Shen Runing interrupted him coldly, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

"I only ask one question—"

"When did you give the Falling Vine to the Emperor?"

The room was silent as death for a moment.

Helan Shaoshao felt puzzled.

"What are you talking about? What vine? I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Helan An, with a smile on his face, looked very elegant.

"Miss Shen, I'm afraid you misunderstood... We are just here to visit Duoduo."

"Where do these unfounded things you said come from—"

Before he could finish his words, Shen Runing pulled out a dagger and put it directly against his throat.

Time was running out and Shen Runing didn't have time to argue with him.

"explain."

"If you say one wrong word, you won't be able to return to Liuli alive."

Helan An's whole body froze, and he felt his neck was cold.

"I...what am I saying? I don't know anything!"

He forced himself to remain calm.

Shen Runing did not hesitate, and turned his wrist——

The sharp blade cut through the flesh, and blood rolled down, but it was not fatal.

"Helan An, you'd better think it through,"

"If you die, the Liuli throne you've been waiting for for over a decade will be completely gone."

Helan An's eyes flickered and his expression changed.

He could feel that Shen Runing really dared to kill him.

Helan Shaoshao behind him was still cursing, his voice harsh.

"Bitch! Helan Duoduo, you are crazy, aren't you!"

"Do you deserve the surname Helan?!"

……

On this side, Helan An's throat moved and he finally spoke in a low voice.

"About... a month ago, your Tianyan Emperor wrote a letter to my father..."

"Handwritten letter, saying I want to drop vine powder."

"He also told us to send it over in a month under the pretext of 'visiting Helan Duoduo.'"

"They said it was top secret and couldn't be told to anyone."

“So, the day we first arrived in Tianyan, we gave him the Falling Vine Powder.”

The moment the words fell, the dagger in Shen Runing's hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The air seemed to stand still for a moment.

Helan Duoduo was stunned.

"What happened?"

Shen Runing took a deep breath and prepared to make it short.

"The emperor has been prepared."

"Falling vine, on the surface, is a medicine for treating colds, but it also has an extremely rare medicinal property that few people know about."

"It can detoxify almost all hallucinogenic poisons."

"Including... the one I developed."

Helan Duoduo's expression suddenly changed.

"How...what should I do?"

……

Helan Shaoshao started screaming again.

"Let us go!"

"Why are you like this?"

Helan An really wanted to escape from Tianyan, so he simply spoke.

"Duoduo, is it really necessary to do this? You can talk to big brother if you have anything."

Shen Runing frowned and looked at Helan Duoduo.

"You haven't told them you know yet?"

Helan Duoduo hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“…I don’t know how to start.”

Shen Runing sighed, looked at her with complicated eyes, and then looked at the brother and sister with hypocritical faces.

"Helan An, you and your father are setting up a scheme."

"Let Helan Duoduo be willing to bring up the matter of Helan Shaoshao getting married."

"You think she didn't know?"

"She already knew it."

"So she hates you, hates you so much."

Helan An's face was stiff, but Helan Shaoshao yelled as if his tail was stepped on.

"What nonsense! What nonsense!"

Shen Runing looked at Helan Duoduo and softened his tone.

"Remember, they are the ones who let you down, not you who let them down."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
