Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"Well, at first I only took Li Yi to the village. Later I felt that the village was too strange, so I secretly took a group of people there at night. At that time, I was still too reckless. I didn't expect..."

His thoughts gradually drifted away.

There was a look of regret in his eyes that Leng Youran had never seen before.

Leng Youran saw that he looked uneasy, so she stood up and walked to his side. She placed her soft hands on his back and patted him gently a few times, saying, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. We'll go and see it together when we have the chance."

Li Tianze did not calm down because of her comfort. Instead, he pounded his chest and shook his head, "Youyou, do you know? The current Li Er and the others are no longer the original Li Er. Only Li Yi and I survived the battle that year. Do you know how it feels to watch people you have been with for many years being burned to death? I have killed more than a dozen people? They all died to save me..." The further he spoke, the softer Li Tianze's voice became.

His voice also became choked.

Many people believed that his sudden change was due to the death of his father, but no one knew that he suffered a major blow in Nanling.

After he came back, he locked himself in his room for several days and at one point wanted to end his life to atone for the sins of his dead brothers.

If Duke Li had not discovered that something was wrong with him, he might have died long ago.

Leng Youran knew how sad he was at the moment, so she gently embraced him and said, "Now that things are over here, I'll go to the north with you!"

Li Tianze didn't say anything, but his shoulders shrugged, revealing his mood at the moment.

This matter has been weighing on his mind for many years. His grandfather once sent people to the village to investigate, but there was no news of the people he sent.

Later, the matter was reported to the late emperor. No one knows how the late emperor handled the matter, so no one knows whether the village still exists today.

After a while, Li Tianze finally calmed down and said with his head held high: "Thank you, Youyou, but it's not necessary. The Northland is still not perfect, and we can't let our guard down. The Northland's actions are so big that we can't hide them for long."

What's more, the capital has already discovered the abnormality in the north. Even if they have written letters back to inform Old Man Leng and others, no one can guarantee whether anyone will be able to bring back the news safely.

Leng Youran also knew that it was not advisable for her to make too many enemies now. After all, there were still people in the entire north who needed her protection.

It seems that after returning this time, other things can be put on hold, and strengthening the defense of the north is the most important thing.

After all, it is impossible for her to stay in the North forever.

After so many things happened, the two of them couldn't eat anymore and left the restaurant.

Before leaving, Leng Youran specifically put all the uneaten dishes into the space.

It is impossible to eat it, but if the food is not touched, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the people in the restaurant.

After all, the food here is famous for being "delicious."

She didn't know that because of her unintentional action, the people who had been watching them relaxed their guard.

That night.

Leng Youran kept releasing his mental power, but until late at night he still couldn't detect the presence of the two people from last night.

However, to be on the safe side, Leng Youran waited until the hour of Hai.

"They didn't come, right?" Li Tianze tried to sense it. There was no trace of any breath at the place where the two men were hiding last night, but he was not sure whether the two men had moved to another place.

"No, it's safe around us."

"That night..." He really wanted to say that he would go with her, but when he thought that Ji Wanxing was at the Ji Mansion, he gave up the idea.

He didn't want to do anything that would cause the little girl to misunderstand.

Leng Youran knew that he was in a bad mood today and didn't want him to stay alone in the inn, so she said, "Do you want to go into the space? If you do, I'll take you in and you can wait for me inside."

"Come in." Li Tianze answered readily.

It's also good to be able to watch her in space.

If she was in danger, he would be there in time.

After the two of them discussed it, Leng Youran brought Li Tianze into the space.

He teleported to the Duke Ji's Mansion.

He came to Ji Wanqing's window very easily.

Continue to enter through the window in stealth, and then flash back to the space.

When she entered the space, she saw Li Tianze had already prepared stools and fruits and was waiting there.

The two of them didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and looked intently outside the space.

Only then did Leng Youran notice that there was a woman in the room.

The woman sat in front of Ji Wanqing's bed and continued to speak, "Wanqing, just listen to your aunt. Your aunt won't harm you."

Chunyu, who was standing by, looked very unhappy when he heard this.

Ji Wanqing was neither sad nor happy, she just lay there and let the woman spit all over her.

"Why are you so quiet, you little bitch? Don't you know how hard it is for me and you in this mansion? I just want you to come to the palace to accompany the young lady, but you don't want to? Do you really want to watch me die? Haven't you heard the news outside? They say I'm dying. Do you know what that means?"

Ji Wanqing seemed not to hear her words, and looked at the other side calmly.

Chunyu, however, was somewhat indignant when she heard these words. She said, "Auntie, you have been here for so long, have you ever cared about the young lady's injuries? You have come to see her since she was injured. Today, as soon as you came here, you asked her to enter the palace. Do you know what entering the palace means? You have been responsible for all the evil things that the eldest young lady has done over the years. Do you know that if she agrees to enter the palace this time, her life will be over?"

"What do you know, a slave? You have no right to speak here. You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like this regardless of your status? I think you deserve a beating." When Aunt Lian heard Chunyu say this to her, she pointed her finger at her and cursed angrily.

Chunyu wanted to speak, but Ji Wanqing held her hand and said, "Chunyu, go and rest first. I can handle this myself."

"No, Miss, you haven't finished applying the medicine yet. If you don't apply the medicine, you will..."

"I'm fine, you go out first. I'll call you later and you can come in." Ji Wanqing was afraid that if her biological mother attacked Chunyu while she was lying on the bed, she would not be able to protect her even if she wanted to.

Chunyu is one of the few people in this mansion who treats her sincerely, and she doesn't want her to get hurt.

"Miss..." Chunyu still didn't want to go out and tried to say another sentence.

"Go." Ji Wanqing pushed her hard, and the force pulled the wound on her back.

"hiss"...

I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Seeing her like this, Chunyu was afraid that she would tear the wound in excitement, so he could only say in a hoarse voice: "Miss, I'm going to leave. Don't move. The wound will open up soon."

"Well, if you get out, I won't move."

"Okay, okay, I'll go out. I'll go out right away."

The spring rain walked away, looking back every few steps.
