During the past few days in Danzhou, Shen Yunzhi would stay in his sister's room until very late almost every night. He would always get up and leave when he saw Shen Nanyan's eyes were dull. Therefore, Lu Jiusi could not come too early. He would always push the door open at almost midnight, which made Shen Nanyan more and more unhappy.

"I will return to Beijing tomorrow."

"what happened?"

"I can't rest well here every day. My brother just left and you came again. I can't stay any longer."

"I can't always come with your brother."

"Since you are afraid of my brother, don't come to me."

"That's your brother. If it was someone else, how could I let him into your yard? Your brother doesn't like us being together, otherwise he wouldn't be guarding you every night."

"Then let's not be together."

"What did you say?"

Shen Nanyan was angry. Lu Jiusi just bumped into the muzzle of her gun. Hearing Shen Nanyan's words, Lu Jiusi's hair stood on end and he immediately held the man in his arms.

"what did you just say?"

"Let me go. I don't want to talk to you. You all have your own concerns. You're just bullying me, right? Anyway, the epidemic has been brought under control now. It won't affect anything if I leave. Tell my brother tomorrow and I'll be back."

"Don't be angry, okay? I'll go find your brother right away and make things clear. I didn't do this before because I didn't want your family to accept it this way. If you don't mind, then I won't think too much about it."

"You...ah...never mind, don't say it. He won't agree anyway."

"Are you going to give up on me?"

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything, which almost meant she agreed. If her family really disagreed, Shen Nanyan naturally didn't want to go against their wishes, so she could only give up Lu Jiusi.

"Shen Nanyan, are you serious?"

"I don't want them to worry about me."

"what about me?"

"You are the regent, and there are many women to choose from. Besides, my status is not worthy of you. Even if I convince them, I will only be a concubine with no name or status. I don't want that."

"Don't want to? You..."

"That day on the boat, I was impulsive and didn't think clearly."

"Whether you agree or not, you are mine."

"Are you going to take my daughter by force?"

"Anything is fine, I just want you."

Lu Jiusi didn't give Shen Nanyan another chance to speak. He hugged her tighter with both hands, and his stunningly handsome face pressed down. His lips, which were so cold that they were angry, pressed against Shen Nanyan's soft little mouth. His tongue with his unique fragrance seemed to carry an electric current, pushing open her teeth and exploring inside madly and wantonly. His hand pressed against the back of Shen Nanyan's head, leaving her no room to retreat.

In Lu Jiusi's slightly awkward kiss, Shen Nanyan's whole body softened, and she collapsed in Lu Jiusi's arms like a ball of cotton, letting him hold her. Shen Nanyan's mind was blank, but the corners of her eyes slowly became moist, and then cold tears slid down her cheeks. Lu Jiusi paused and quickly withdrew the kiss that had intoxicated him.

When he saw the tears on Shen Nanyan's face, his heart broke.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm not trying to bully you. I... I'm just a little angry and can't control my emotions. Also, I'm not going to take you as a concubine. I want to marry you. And you'll be the only one I want by my side for the rest of my life. I want to marry you. I must marry you. I've already told your father and mother that after I finish dealing with the affairs in Danzhou, I'll go to your house to propose marriage when I return to Beijing. I want three matchmakers, six betrothals, a sedan chair carried by eight men, and a long wedding dress to marry you."

"Marry...marry me, you want to marry me?"

"Yes, I will marry you. Otherwise, I wouldn't let your brother stop me. I can just find an excuse to transfer him somewhere else. But if I marry you, I can't just focus on the present. Your brother and I will meet again in the future, and I can't let you be embarrassed in the middle. There is a world of difference between marrying and taking you in. I want to give you all my respect, including your family."

Shen Nanyan's eyes became even redder, and she suddenly felt that she was so childish. Lu Jiusi was much more careful in doing things than herself. Seeing Lu Jiusi possessing her to explain and comfort her, Shen Nanyan felt a little sorry for him. This man who didn't even care about the emperor was always willing to tolerate and please her in every way. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?

The next second, Shen Nanyan reached out and grabbed Lu Jiusi's collar, stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Lu Jiusi's deep eyes were instantly shocked. He didn't expect Shen Nanyan to take the initiative to kiss him, and his gloomy mood instantly brightened.

The kiss was sweet and long, so long that Shen Nanyan almost couldn't breathe. But no matter how excited Shen Nanyan was, Lu Jiusi's hand was always on Shen Nanyan's back and didn't move anywhere.

That night, the two slept in each other's arms, and Lu Jiusi was happy in his dreams.

The next morning, when Shen Nanyan opened her eyes, she met Lu Jiusi's clear eyes. He just looked at her without blinking, and Shen Nanyan blushed instantly.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you leave?"

"I'm lazy for a day, just want to be with you."

"If you slack off, my brother will have a hard time, and he'll dislike us being together even more."

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't let us be together, I won't let Prince Xing marry the princess to him."

"Pfft...why didn't I know you were so sinister before?"

"You don't need to know. These have nothing to do with you. I just like you a million times."

"You're the only one who's poor. What time is it?"

"Now……"

"Your Majesty!"

Qingxuan's voice outside the door interrupted their conversation.

"explain."

"General Pingyi had his mask ripped off, contracted the plague, and was poisoned."

"elder brother!"

Shen Nanyan immediately turned over and got up. Lu Jiusi reached out and took her coat and put it on Shen Nanyan. Then, while Shen Nanyan was getting dressed, he squatted down and started putting on her shoes.

"Don't worry, there's already a cure for the plague, so it's not a big deal. Calm down, I'll send someone to Medicine King Valley to ask Old Monster Ren to detoxify your brother."

Shen Nanyan didn't say a word, just stood up and ran out.

"Qingxuan, take Miss Shen first and take good care of her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As he was speaking, Shen Nanyue's back had disappeared. While Lu Jiusi was getting dressed, he called the secret guard Qingying, who was the fastest mover under Lu Jiusi, and ordered him to go to Yaowang Valley to get medicine. Old Monster Ren had a miraculous medicine that could cure many poisons, but unfortunately it could not cure the poison in Lu Jiusi's body.

When Shen Nanyan saw Shen Yunzhi, Shen Yunzhi had already started to have a fever and was sweating coldly. His face was pale and even his lips had lost their color. Shen Nanyan did not dare to delay and asked someone to boil the medicine while giving him acupuncture. Lu Jiusi arrived later, went into the room to take a look, and then came out.

"Who is it?"

"It was the grandfather and grandson. While asking General Shen for directions, they ripped off his mask. The old man sprayed blood from his mouth into General Shen's face. The child was even more abominable. He stabbed General Shen's thigh with a needle. Their intention was to kill General Shen."

"Don't let them die, Judge!"

"Yes."

After they arrived in Danzhou, they have been loved by the people. To do this, they must have been instructed by others. If the person behind it is not found out, such things will happen again.
