It's not easy to marry a male concubine

The effect of the soothing tea was very good. After Luo Lanyuan fell asleep, she had no dreams all night, and when she woke up, it was already dawn.

The queen originally wanted to keep them for a few more days, but King Xuanyang was worried about the five-color tourmaline, so he had to take the whole family and the queen to leave.

Luo Lanyuan sat on the carriage back to the palace, sitting smoothly and upright.

"Why aren't you shaking this time?" Jiang Liye, who was sitting next to him, asked him.

"Because there is nothing to be afraid of." Luo Lanyuan's heart was as still as water.

"...Sorry, did I put too much pressure on you?" Jiang Liye asked with some self-blame.

"That's not true, I'm under a lot of pressure every day." Luo Lanyuan sighed.

"Father said that we are leaving tomorrow, and I will go with you to settle the matter of your sister and the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family when I get back later." Jiang Liye said.

"Oh... yes, yes." Luo Lanyuan realized: "Then can I act with you this time?"

"Yes, I've already told my father that I'm going on a long trip this time, and I can take you with me as a matter of course." Jiang Liye looked at him with his chin in his hands.

"A long trip?" Luo Lanyuan's eyes widened: "Are you going directly to look for tourmaline?"

"Yes." Jiang Liye nodded: "The only known information so far is the whereabouts of the watermelon tourmaline Xia Zhizhi. If nothing unexpected happens, King Henghu should also look for this piece first. We can't act later than them."

"Why is there only the whereabouts of the watermelon tourmaline? Where are the other pieces?" Luo Lanyuan was puzzled.

"The tourmalines have a mutual induction. Only when one piece is found will the next piece be revealed. This watermelon tourmaline was found by a swordsman by mistake, but no one can take it away, so there is no way to know the traces of other tourmalines. .” Jiang Liye explained.

"Does that mean that many people know the whereabouts of the watermelon tourmaline?"

"Yes, the watermelon tourmaline is in the ruins of the Quicksand Country. It's no secret that the Quicksand Country has now become an abandoned ghost town with no one inhabited." Jiang Liye frowned slightly: "And our opponents are not only King Henghu, there are many People like the intelligence shop owner are also thinking about this tourmaline, maybe they want to own it, or they want to make an unequal exchange with us after getting it, and the intelligence shop owner is the latter."

Jiang Liye handed Luo Lanyuan a painting scroll, Luo Lanyuan opened it, and found that it was a painting of watermelon tourmaline and the coming of summer.

Watermelon tourmaline is a kind of tourmaline, the color of tourmaline is very rich, there are almost all kinds of colors.One of them has two colors of green and red, with green on the periphery and red in the center. It looks like a watermelon, with green outside and red core inside, so it is called watermelon tourmaline.

The five-color jade seals were all made into the dowry of Princess Chulan. This precious watermelon tourmaline was made into a pair of earrings, and it was carved into the shape of a watermelon according to the occasion, which is very delicate and pleasant.

"...It's quite beautiful." Luo Lanyuan looked at the watermelon tourmaline on the picture and exclaimed.

"Yeah, if it didn't have evil power, it would look good on you." Jiang Liye's eyes drifted to Luo Lanyuan's earlobe.

"...Don't you all know that I am Luo Lanyuan? You still make such a joke!" Luo Lanyuan glared at him angrily: "What earrings do I wear as a man!"

To be honest, the earrings he was forced to wear in the palace were clipped, but even clipped was painful enough, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a hole in his ear.

"Men also wear earrings, and there are many good-looking earrings for men." Jiang Liye said resolutely.

"The one who didn't wear a watermelon, it looks like it's for girls!" Luo Lanyuan threw the scroll back into his arms: "When I'm out of the sight of the people in the palace, I want to wear men's clothes!"

Jiang Liye originally wanted to refuse, but he remembered that he hadn't seen Luo Lanyuan dressed up in a high-spirited way for a long time: "Well, when you are out of the sight of the palace, you can wear whatever you want."

Something seemed wrong, Luo Lanyuan suddenly realized why Jiang Liye was so talkative today.

Before revealing his identity, Jiang Liye was able to refuse eight of his ten demands, but now he made all kinds of unreasonable and angry demands and Jiang Liye actually accepted them all.

Could it be...is this the feeling of being chased?

Luo Lanyuan instantly felt uncomfortable.

"Why are you shaking again?" Jiang Liye asked him as he felt the vibration in the carriage.

"... Legs are numb after sitting for a long time." Luo Lanyuan said with a straight face.

After returning to the palace, Luo Lanyuan became uneasy again.

"When are we going to pick up my sister?" He asked Jiang Li Yedao.

"Let's go later, there is no time to procrastinate." Jiang Liye said while tidying up his things.

"If I reject Zhao Xiaorou's confession now and take my sister away, will their brothers and sisters be angry?" Luo Lanyuan bit her nails: "My sister is still pregnant after all... I'm afraid something will happen to her."

"What are you afraid of when I'm here?" Jiang Liye put down the things at hand: "Trust me, we will bring your sister back safe and sound."

"...Then let's go after you clean up." Luo Lanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid of anything else, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family had extreme personalities, and he was afraid that offending them would be detrimental to his sister.

Luo Lanyuan left behind a paper figurine, pretending to be a servant, and went out of the palace with Jiang Liye.

This time there was no human skin mask, Luo Lanyuan could only covertly hide himself behind Jiang Liye.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why does the car stop so far away, and there are so many people on the road, I'm really worried all the time for fear of being exposed."

"You've already revealed your secrets, there is no servant who followed the young master into the car, the servant always followed outside." Jiang Liye teased him.

Who wants to go down!Being undiscovered is another matter, mainly because it will be very tiring!

Luo Lanyuan pretended not to hear: "It's a good day today, it's not too hot."

"Yes, it's going to be autumn." Jiang Liye opened the curtain of the carriage and looked.

"What should we say when we arrive at the Zhao Mansion later?" Luo Lanyuan decided to talk about the business first.

"What else can I say, just say that I have found a safer place, and I want to take Luo Qidie away, and tell Zhao Xiaorou that you reject her confession." Jiang Liye said.

"Isn't this a bit too direct?" Luo Lanyuan bit her nails again in a panic: "After all, Xiao Rou and I are brothers and sisters, and she... really helped me a lot."

"The longer it drags on, the bigger the problem will be. It's better to cut the mess quickly." Jiang Liye looked back at him: "Since you don't like him, don't give him hope."

Luo Lanyuan felt choked, did Jiang Liye say Zhao Xiaorou or himself?

"I didn't drag you down." Luo Lanyuan blurted out.

After he finished speaking, he regretted it. What was he talking about?

"Then promise me." Jiang Liye suddenly pushed forward and circled him to the corner of the carriage.

His beautiful facial features suddenly magnified and appeared in front of Luo Lanyuan, Luo Lanyuan could only feel his blushing and heart beating out of breath: "Right now... not yet, just wait a little longer."

At this moment, the coachman's voice sounded outside: "My lord, the Zhao residence has arrived."

Jiang Liye's deep eyes stared at Luo Lanyuan seriously for a while, and finally let him go.

—— Zhao Mansion.

"Master, miss, the second son of the palace, Jiang Liye, is here."

Zhao Li was watching Zhao Xiaorou practice the sword, when he heard the young servant coming to report, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Jiang Liye? What is he doing here?" Zhao Xiaorou withdrew the soft sword.

"I... don't know?" Zhao Li scratched his head: "Could it be related to Luo Lanyuan?"

Zhao Xiaorou narrowed her eyes and told the boy: "Let him in."

"Master Jiang, my young master and miss are here to invite you." The servant brought Jiang Liye in respectfully, and Luo Lanyuan bowed his head and followed behind him, trying to minimize his presence.

The brothers and sisters of the Zhao family set up tea and snacks in the gazebo, waiting for Jiang Liye's arrival.

"General Zhao, Miss Zhao, excuse me." Jiang Liye appeared in front of the gazebo and said politely to the two of them.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Xiaorou didn't know why, but felt inexplicable hostility towards Jiang Liye.

"That...Xiao Rou, it's me." Luo Lanyuan stood up from behind Jiang Liye: "Jiang Liye and I have made it clear, and you must have heard the news about the succession conditions. I will go with him to find the tourmaline." , so I want to take my sister with me."

"Your sister is pregnant, you asked her to do such a dangerous thing as looking for tourmaline with you?" Zhao Li frowned.

"No, no, I want to change my sister's place to raise her baby with peace of mind. I have troubled you these days." Luo Lanyuan said hastily.

"They're all on our own, so what's the trouble?" Zhao Li waved his hand heartily: "Even though your sister can raise her baby in the Zhao Mansion with peace of mind, you can go to Bixi with peace of mind, and tell me if you need my help! You Sister and Xiaorou will be waiting for you to come back."

Luo Lanyuan looked at Jiang Liye and patted Jiang Liye on the back, signaling him to go out first. Jiang Liye glanced at the other three people present, and walked to a place farther away from the pavilion. Only the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family and Luo Lanyuan were left. Luo Lanyuan gritted her teeth and said, "I... I'm sorry for rejecting Xiaorou, so I don't want to bother you anymore... I really appreciate this time You, the kindness of the Zhao family, I will always remember in my heart."

Every time Luo Lanyuan said a word, the face of the Zhao family brothers and sisters darkened by an inch.

"...Luo Lanyuan, what do you mean." Zhao Xiaorou's face was ugly: "You... You asked me to wait for so long, just waiting for a rejection?"

"Xiaorou, liking is a matter between two people." Luo Lanyuan was a little afraid to look her directly in the eyes: "I regard you as my best friend and my own sister, but that is not love."

"Why? Why doesn't this mean you like it?" Zhao Xiaorou stood up angrily: "Look, you treat me differently from others?"

"You are different in my heart, but that's not love." Luo Lanyuan could only repeat it again.

"No, I don't believe it. Your attitude wasn't like this a few days ago!" Zhao Xiaorou rushed to him and said word by word:

"Luo Lanyuan, do you have someone you like?"
