Are you in the Shura field today?

Failed.

Li Zuoqing reflected on himself in his heart, it was too unusual to be so emotional.

The aftertaste of pain in the back of her head suggested that she must have been knocked out, and even with her eyes closed at this moment, she could feel the scorching fire in the environment.

I don't know if she is still in Lifang Xiaoju, or how long she has been in a coma.

If half an hour has passed, Lan Shuang and the others have already discovered something is wrong.

"..."

There was a sword-throwing sound of "kuang" near her, which sounded like a threat, but when the owner of the voice opened his mouth, she couldn't help opening her eyes.

"Stop pretending to be asleep."

"Uh, cough! I'm still a little dizzy, you're really hard on yourself..." Li Zuoqing saw Wen Ming dyed in a gray-blue nocturnal attire, sitting cross-legged and serious not far from him.

She got up slowly, and touched the back of her neck in a playful manner.

Hearing this, Wen Mingran's eyes fluctuated a little, but he quickly turned back unconvinced: "I know how much effort I put in. Don't pretend to play tricks."

The eldest prince reminded her that sympathy is a taboo.

"Well, okay." Li Zuoqing couldn't hide his disappointment, like a wronged cat with its ears on the plane.

Wen Mingran bit her lower lip angrily, turned her head and only stared at her from the corner of her eye.

Li Zuoqing looked around indifferently, and found that this is an elegant and unique room. Wen Mingran sat with her on the mats on both sides of the tea table. Although the space is a bit small, the decoration is unambiguous. Not only are the copper-colored merman lamps burning with dazzling candles, but even the ceiling is extravagantly dotted with night pearls like stars.

But Lifang Xiaoju... doesn't seem so gorgeous, does it?

Not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the room at all, Li Zuoqing digs out the original owner's impression of Li Fang's small residence, all of which are simple and monotonous.

She was a little bit calmer, and she smiled at Wen Mingran and said, "Are you really showing mercy? I feel like I've been asleep for a long time."

"That's what you thought," Wen Mingran crossed his hands and looked at her coldly, "Actually, you've only slept for a quarter of an hour."

"A quarter of an hour?!" Li Zuoqing repeated in surprise.

That means that if Wen Mingran knocked her out and brought her out, this place might not be far from Lifang Xiaoju. If Lanshuang and the others reacted, they should be able to find out soon.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.

"Then where are we now?" Li Zuoqing asked her.

Wen Mingran didn't expect her to ask so directly, but she didn't deliberately hide this place, because even if Li Zuoqing knew, it would be difficult to fly.

"What do you think? His Royal Highness should have told you."

Li Zuoqing frowned. How could she be interested in hearing what that hypocrite elder brother said, but she tried her best to think about it, and still remembered a name: "...is it Furong 艅艎?"

Wen Mingran didn't make a sound, it was a tacit agreement.

She sighed helplessly.

This is where Li Zuomu invited her to go at the beginning, but she refused, but Wen Mingran brought her here, or did Li Zuomu expect that she would directly ask to find Wen Mingran?

No matter what he chooses, he will achieve the result he wants, and it is really arranged clearly.

"Then he... my elder brother, what are you planning to do by asking you to bring me here?" Li Zuoqing's face turned cold when he mentioned the word "elder brother".

Wen Mingran's expression loosened a bit, showing a look of unbearable, his lips opened and closed for a long time, and he only apologized: "...I'm sorry."

"Ah?" Li Zuoqing's heart sank, and she could vaguely guess what it was. It seemed that the confinement order given to her by her father was really a kind of protection, but she was caught in a trap as soon as the confinement order ended.

At the critical moment, a piece of advice from the previous system came to mind in her mind - "Since she lied to you, you can retaliate."

"I don't need your apology, you are just helping him." Li Zuoqing pretended to be relieved, with a relaxed look.

"...I am a subordinate of His Highness the First Prince, but I will not deny that I am an accomplice in this matter." Wen Mingran's voice was soft and hasty, and her gaze was even more so when she glanced at the sword on the tea table. Sad up.

If Li Zuomu came here and ordered her to kill Li Zuoqing, would she really be able to pick up this sword and do it cruelly?

"Can I ask a question?" Li Zuoqing was very satisfied with Wen Mingran's current expression - she lowered her eyes desolately, deliberately avoiding her sight, which was a hint of unbearable and very shaken.

Perhaps taking advantage of the situation to disintegrate her defenses, there will be a new turning point.

"You say it."

"Is Mingran happy in the Princess Mansion?" Li Zuoqing smiled gently at her, saw her pupils shrank, and chased after her, "I'll go to the South Wing to watch you play the piano, feed the rabbits with you, and invite you to come When you were in Lizhou, you were not happy—"

"How come!" Wen Mingran interrupted her eagerly, but she closed her mouth in panic as soon as the words came out.

After a while, he stammered and smoothed out his own words: "I mean, spying on you is, of course, a job that makes me happy."

"Are you competent..." Li Zuoqing put his hand on the scar on his left shoulder with a disappointed expression.

She couldn't see anything through the clothes, but this action really hurt Wen Mingran's heart. She would never forget the scene of Lang Yu splashing blood in front of her, no matter how many times she recalled it, it would still make her Cold hands and feet.

But she can't be soft-hearted... To be soft-hearted for Lang Yu means that the other side of the balance will be taken away, even if her choice will make her regret her whole life, it's still worth it.

"Let's talk about something else," Li Zuoqing looked at the other party as if he was overwhelmed by emotions. Probably the first prince never told Wen Mingran that even though she looks very similar to Lin Qiwu, she can't hide it much more than Lin Qiwu .

"After you left without saying goodbye, I recalled the second half of the origami rabbit."

"Huh... I figured it out by myself later." Wen Mingran breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really?" Li Zuoqing smiled slightly aggrieved, "Then I won't have the chance to teach you, but it seems that I never had the chance..."

"..." Wen Mingran was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Lang Yu... After the First Prince arrives, I will ask him to let you live, just send you away from here."

This is probably a joke that the storyteller himself would find funny when he said it.

Wen Mingran hardly had the confidence to speak out when he talked about the later.

"Thank you, but you also know that this is impossible." Li Zuoqing reassured her, guessing that the time was almost up, and asked, "But at the end, I want to know, why did you sacrifice your life for my elder brother?"

Wen Mingran hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that there would be no such person in the future, it wouldn't matter if she knew about it, so he slowly expressed his concerns: "Because my family is in his hands."

"Lang Yu once asked me why all the other dikun left the mansion, but I didn't go home, because I couldn't go back, and I couldn't go back."

"The eldest prince sent someone to watch over my mother and sister. Their lives are in his hands... and I, as well as all the hidden guards, are constantly being watched by his henchmen and eyes and ears. If you want to disobey the order, There is only one dead end."

"Your mother and younger sister?" Li Zuoqing suddenly remembered Wen Mingran's gentle and doting manner towards Tian Miaoke, no wonder she was so skilled at accompanying children, so she was her older sister.

"Now you know..." Wen Mingran's eyes were dull, and he laughed at himself desperately, "I have no other choice."

"You have!" Li Zuoqing got up and pressed her shoulder with renewed vigor, and the other party looked over in astonishment.

"Let's go find your mother and sister, right now!"

Wen Mingran's face was full of disbelief: "Now? Do you know that the eldest prince is coming soon!"

Li Zuoqing shook his head: "Believe me, now is probably the time when he is most anxious."

When she said "believe me", it would be better to say that she believed in the agreement with Lanshuang and Lu Shiwei. If it is as expected, Lanshuang and Lu Shiwei have now found out that she has been taken away, and they will definitely do their best to ask the eldest prince to question her. This kind of trouble cannot be solved in a short while.

"But, but..."

"No, but." Li Zuoqing got up, and before Wen Mingran could react, she opened the window. The scenery outside the window startled her. The boundless sea outside was connected with the night, but it was not far from the shore, and it was still possible. Saw several ships moored nearby.

"Yaozhou is just as far away as Lizhou. If you take a boat, it will be faster, and you can arrive before dawn."

Li Zuoqing stretched out his hand to her, as if he had the fearless courage to everything in this world.

"Come on, I'll be with you, even if you're caught, don't you still have me as a 'hostage'?"

Wen Mingran's eyes widened. The bright light of the candle seemed to hurt her eyes, making her eyes sour. The mist could hardly focus on the person in front of her, but she still held Lang Yu's hand tentatively.

She has always wanted to confirm the truth herself, but Li Zuoqing was the only one who gave her this choice.

The author has something to say: We don’t know whether this kind of thing should be warned... In short, if you are afraid of knives, skip the next chapter
