The vicious supporting actor wants to be a good guy

After the light snow last night, a layer of snow-white frost accumulated outside, and the temperature dropped several degrees immediately after.

In the private room, a brazier was burning for heating, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the flame burning firewood could be heard.

Li Qingnuo, who had been in a coma all night, hadn't woken up yet, Li Yu sat beside him and checked his condition.

Seeing that his condition had improved, and his tightly pursed lips were not as pale as last night, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, held his hand, rubbed it a little, then put him back in the bed, and covered him with the quilt.

People outside still don't know where Qing Nuo is going, but according to the current situation, Qing Nuo must not be allowed to get involved in dangerous situations again.

Perhaps seeing through Li Yu's thoughts, Shen Haoran said softly.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Yu stared at the person on the bed, and slowly shook his head, "I didn't think of a specific solution, but I don't think Qing Nuo can stay in the open anymore."

Empress Li has already set her sights on Li Qingnuo. Next time, she may not be so lucky. If there is another accident later, the whole situation may be overturned.

"I think so too." Shen Haoran paused before continuing, "So, I have no intention of letting Qing Nuo go back."

"what do you mean……"

"Last night, before they left, in order to destroy the evidence, they set a fire and burned the entire cottage."

Li Yu paused, and instantly understood Shen Haoran's intentions, "You mean, take this opportunity to replace someone else?"

"Well, none of the shadow bandits survived, and even the bandit suppression team didn't know that Qing Nuo was with us. As long as we release the news that Qing Nuo died in the cottage, let the bandit suppression team take the body of the bandit leader Take it back and treat it as Qing Nuo, it will be able to deceive others, and it will also allow Qing Nuo to heal his wounds in peace and not get involved in this matter anymore."

"The bandit leader is about the same age and build as Qing Nuo. As long as he can fool Empress Li into thinking that Qing Nuo is dead, he can protect Qing Nuo."

All that is left is to deceive Shen Yixuan.

Li Yu nodded and did not have much objection to this plan.

Within a few days, the story of Li Qingnuo, the leader of the martial arts test, who died heroically on the way to suppress the bandits spread throughout the capital.

Everyone in the capital was in an uproar. They had already heard that bandits were raging in Ningyuan Mountain. The government and the public had tried many times, but they failed to eradicate them. This time, General Li actually exchanged the death of one person for the peace around Ningyuan Mountain.

The Holy One regretted that he was young and promising, he sacrificed his life for the country, buried him with honor, and posthumously named him General Ningyuan.

When Li Qingnuo woke up and recovered from his injuries for a few days, he learned of his "death" from Li Yu, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"...Brother, what do you mean, in order to protect me, you purposely made me die in suspended animation, so as to prevent Empress Li from attacking me again?"

"Hmm..." Li Yu nodded in embarrassment.

After all, this matter was entirely decided by him, and he did not discuss it with Li Qingnuo.

"But... Brother, have you ever thought about it? After all, this matter can't be hidden for long."

"It's not a long-term solution. I just want to protect you in the finale—no, before Empress Li forces you into the palace."

season finale?Li Qingnuo tilted his head strangely, "Although that's the case... But I'm also afraid of worrying my father and brother Yixuan."

Shen Yixuan... Li Yu held his forehead with some headaches, and rubbed his temples along the way.

Shen Yixuan is indeed a bomb that could go off at any time, and he hasn't decided whether to tell him, or just follow his tricks and hide the truth.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran paused, and said, "In order to prevent him from causing trouble, I have already notified him of this matter in advance. Although he was very unhappy, this time, after all, he did not protect Qing Nuo well."

Moreover, Qing Nuo would only be more dangerous if he was by his side, and keeping the two of them apart for a while would also keep Qing Nuo away from these disputes.

"It's not Brother Yixuan's fault." Li Qingnuo was a little anxious, and quickly retorted, "It's because I didn't tell him in advance—ahem!"

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Li Yu quickly patted his back to relieve him.

"You don't have to worry about this, just rest in peace and heal your wounds. After everything is over, let you return to a peaceful life, okay?"

Seeing Li Yu's gentle eyes, Li Qingnuo hesitated for a long time.

"Then, brother, what are you going to do?"

"Me?" Li Yu didn't expect him to ask such a question. Unprepared, Li Yu froze for a moment, then continued to laugh, "For me, the problem is not big, you don't need to worry."

Li Qingnuo couldn't help lowering his eyes, "But I'm still worried..."

Hearing this, Shen Haoran interrupted at the right time, "I will protect him, don't worry."

Hearing what Shen Haoran said, Li Qingnuo felt relieved, and held Shen Haoran's hand, "Brother Haoran, I'll leave my brother to you."

——What is the subtle atmosphere of "please give me your daughter"?

Li Yu looked at the two of them holding hands with a dazed expression, and coughed involuntarily.

"Okay, Qing Nuo, don't worry about these things, just have a good rest."

After Li Qingnuo fell asleep, Li Yu and Shen Haoran left together.

For the next few days, the forces of all parties kept a low profile and gathered their manpower. The situation was chaotic and explosive.

Li Yu looked at the contents of the biography, and frowned solemnly. Empress Li had secretly mobilized the relationship with the Western Shu Kingdom many times. Why?

She clearly knew that leading the war with the Western Shu Kingdom was part of the plot, but she didn't want to change it. Instead, she developed according to the plot, was she trying to confuse her true intentions, or... blaming it on the other two? Where is the prince?

Li Yu didn't know.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and it has accumulated a thick layer. As far as the eyes can see, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

Shen Haoran came back just in time, put away the oil-paper umbrella, shook off the white snow from the umbrella, and placed it by the door.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Yu concentrating on the letter in his hand, as if he didn't notice that his hands were turning red from the cold.

He quietly approached the person, and took away the letter in his hand, "What are you looking at?"

It was only then that Li Yu, who realized that Shen Haoran had returned, was startled, and smiled, "No, I just don't understand."

Looking at the fine snow on Shen Haoran's shoulders, Li Yu stood up and slapped the snow off, "It's snowing outside, why are you dressed so thinly, aren't you cold?"

Seeing that he cared about him, Shen Haoran couldn't help but smile, and gently embraced him in his arms, feeling the tenderness of the person in his arms.

"not cold."

What's the matter with hugging others so tightly after saying it's not cold!

Li Yu was ashamed and funny, so he could only let him hold her.

There was some noise outside for some reason, Li Yu poked his head out of Shen Haoran's arms and looked aside curiously.

Seeing Feng Ya knocked on the door outside, his tone was a bit gritted.

"Your Highness, the two lords who are not easy to mess with are here again."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open with a snap, and Leng Muqing, dressed in a bright red dress, stepped in first, accompanied by falling snowflakes.

"It's so cold! You Dongyao Country hasn't entered winter yet, why is it snowing so much!"

She said, looking at the two people who were still hugging each other tightly, she raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, "I haven't seen you for a while, you guys are progressing so fast?"

Leng Yuanhan, who was holding the umbrella beside him, was also dressed in a red dress, looking extraordinarily coquettish in the snow-covered sky.

"Ahem!" Li Yu choked on these words, and could only gently push Shen Haoran away, "Why haven't the two Highnesses returned to China?"

"What do you mean?" Leng Muqing was a little dissatisfied, "If it wasn't for treating your hand, Brother Huang and I would have gone back long ago."

Why?Is that so?Li Yu was so embarrassed that he could only smile.

"Of course, it's not just that, we are also very curious about the next development."

"After all, this is a matter of Dongyao Kingdom. It is better for the two Highnesses not to get involved, so as not to get burned, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Shen Haoran said lightly, and slowly sat down at the table, warming tea for everyone with his sleeves.

Leng Muqing sat at the table unceremoniously, "I don't want to get involved, but the other party made the first move."

She didn't plan to go back if she didn't see what happened to Empress Li!

Leng Yuanhan sat down silently, and put a cup of wine in his hand on the table next to him.

Li Yu looked at the bottle filled with unknown contents, and was a little curious, "What is this?"

Seeing Li Yu talking, Leng Muqing said proudly, "This is our special medicinal wine from Xishu Kingdom, specially brought for you, it has miraculous effects on healing bone fractures!"

Li Yu didn't doubt her words at all. After all, in the original novel, Xishu Kingdom is a poisonous miasma country where snakes, rats and insects are rampant, so it is rich in poisonous herbal wine.

It's just... thinking of the descriptions of those insects and snakes in the original work, I can't help feeling a little chilly.

"...Couldn't this be some kind of medicine bar brewed by worms and snakes?"

"Although there are, but this princess didn't bring it." This bottle was specially brought back by someone back to China.

Leng Muqing took the teacup on the side and poured a full cup, "You can try it, the taste is not bad, it can keep you healthy, it's just suitable for drinking in this weather."

Looking at the small bowl-sized teacup, Li Yu took it hesitantly, and took a sip. It had a slightly sweet and fruity aroma, which dissipated in the mouth, smooth and sweet.

"Isn't it delicious? It's made from a kind of medicinal fruit. The longer you leave it, the stronger the fragrance will be."

By the way, Leng Muqing also poured a glass for the others.

It is really elegant for several people to enjoy the snow and warm wine while talking.

The warm wine entered his throat, and the warmth came from his stomach. After a few cups, Li Yu was a little dazed.

Although it was fruit wine, after all, it had a lot of stamina, he was a little drowsy, and even the words of other people began to fluctuate from distance to distance, making some noises.

Everything in front of me became a bit ghosted.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold Leng Muqing's head, "Why are you... dangling around?"

Leng Muqing was startled, opened his eyes wide in astonishment, slapped his hand away, and asked, "You, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that there was something wrong with Li Yu's expression, Shen Haoran hurriedly pressed his hand to prevent him from messing around, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"Wow... there are stars!" Li Yu smiled very happily, pointing to Shen Haoran's eyes a little foolishly, "There are so many stars in the eyes!"

"No... this, fruit wine can make you drunk?"

Leng Muqing chuckled, and looked at Leng Yuanhan.

This was the first time in Li Yu's life that he was drunk. He had never drunk alcohol before, so he didn't know how much he was drinking.

And this fruit wine was so mellow that it made people drink a few more glasses at once.

"Since he's drunk, you can take care of him, and we'll go back first."

"..." Shen Haoran silently watched the two leave quickly, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

"I caused trouble for others, so I just left?"

These two Highnesses of the Western Shu Kingdom are really casual.

Shen Haoran shook his head helplessly, looked at Li Yu who was still smirking, sighed, then slowly picked him up and carried him to the bed.
