When he heard Lan Yue call him husband, he felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. No matter how much she hated him and even wished for him to die immediately, she still protected him in front of outsiders. This was enough for him to spare her life when her life was in danger.
However, even so, it was not enough to make his heart soften. He would still do what he should do and use what he should use. From the beginning, their relationship was one of using and being used! This would never change!
" Who wants to follow you…" Before she could finish her sentence, Lan Yue looked at Xie Yunchen in astonishment."What did you just say? Who…who is going to die?"
Although she knew very well that Xie Yunchen was a sickly person and that he usually did not look very good, she was still shocked when she heard this news from the person in front of her.
Lan Yue looked at him as if she had not heard the rumors the man had told her.
"I said that Xie Yunchen is about to die, and the First Prince doesn't have long to live!”Xie Yunchen released Lan Yue's hand and turned to look at the side. For some reason, he did not like her expression at this moment.
"How could this be? Wasn't he fine before? Why didn't I know about this? You're lying to me, right?" Lan Yue was a little flustered at this moment. Although she said that she hoped that Xie Yunchen would die soon, she had never thought that she would really let him die.
"I lied to you?" Xie Yunchen looked into the distance, his tone extremely calm."The whole world knows that Xie Yunchen was assassinated and is in danger. Do you think there's any point in me using this matter to lie to you? I think Lan Xiang didn't want you to know, so he hid this matter! I dare to conclude that apart from you, everyone in the Prime Minister's Residence knows about this matter!”
Lan Yue's arms suddenly tightened. Her fingers were interlocked, and her joints were slightly white. The little furball, who was still sleeping very comfortably in her arms, suddenly opened its eyes and let out a sound like a baby crying.
Xie Yunchen looked over in the direction of the voice. The little furball in Lan Yue's arms had already become a mess. Most of its white fur had already been grabbed by Lan Yue. At this moment, Lan Yue seemed to not know that she had hurt the little furball in her arms. She continued to grab its white fur tightly.
If it wasn't for the fact that the little furball had been by Lan Yue's side for some time and that it had a spiritual mind, it would have already bitten the person who had caused her so much pain.
"Does he care about him that much? Haven't you always hoped that he would die early? If he dies, you will be free, right?”Xie Yunchen frowned slightly. His eyes never left Lan Yue's embrace. After all, the little furball had been by his side for so many years. He could not bear to see it in such pain.
At this moment, the little furball looked extremely pitiful. Its eyes were slightly watery as it looked at Xie Yunchen with an aggrieved expression, as if it was asking him for help.
Beasts always had a keen sense of smell. Even if Xie Yunchen's appearance had changed, it could still recognize Xie Yunchen by smell. If it was not for Lan Yue who was still holding onto its fur tightly, it would have run into Xie Yunchen's arms to seek comfort.
"Wouldn't I be a widow if he died?!”Lan Yue raised her head with an ugly expression."He's free. He doesn't care about anything anymore. Wouldn't I be suffering because of him? Why is he so free and unfettered, but I have to suffer so much alone?
He could not die! He must not die!"
She was extremely flustered at this moment. She was afraid. She did not want him to die. She did not know why she was like this, so she attributed all her fear and discomfort to not wanting to be a widow.
Xie Yunchen's expression darkened. He reached out and pulled the dumpling into his arms.""Why do you care so much? A widow? That was just a saying. As long as you wanted to do more, no one could stop you. If he died, you would be free! Isn't that so?"
He thought that she was sad because he was about to die, but he did not expect her to be sad because she would be a widow after he died. Forget it, he never thought that there would be someone by his side. He never thought that there would be a woman who could spend this life with him. Lan Yue was just a means to achieve some goals for him.
Lan Yue's thoughts were all on Xie Yunchen at this moment. She did not even care why the dumpling in her arms was so quiet in the man's arms.
"I won't talk to you anymore. You can walk around the residence by yourself. I'll leave first!”Lan Yue had always thought that this man was someone her father knew, but she never thought that this man had deliberately avoided the people from the Prime Minister's residence to get close to her!
She had never doubted his identity, nor had she ever wondered why her father would know someone who had a grudge with her husband and even brought him to her residence. If she was willing to think more, she would definitely discover the problem!
Lan Yue had only taken a few steps when she turned around and carried Little Furball into her arms. She then walked away without looking at Xie Yunchen.
The little furball in her arms seemed to be very reluctant to leave the man's embrace, but Lan Yue did not notice this.
Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue's back and muttered,"Do you want to quickly go to wangfei and find a divorce certificate before this king dies?”
He revealed a faint smile, turned around and disappeared from the courtyard. He had already done what he wanted to do, and the rest was not something he could control.
Although everything was within his grasp, and there were only a few possible endings to this game of chess, for some reason, he did not want to know the final outcome.
Xie Yunchen had always believed that he was able to control everything, and that everything had changed because of him. However, for some reason, he had the misconception that this game of chess should not have started from the beginning.
Lan Yue carried the little dumpling and ran out of the manor. She even forgot that she could only meet anyone. She forgot that the carriage was faster than walking. At this moment, she only wanted to return to the manor as soon as possible to take a look.
Xie Yunchen had never seen Lan Yue like this. After Lan Yue turned around and left, he quietly left without paying attention to Lan Yue's movements. In his opinion, he had already done what he needed to do and there was no need to follow her anymore.
Before Lan Yue could even leave the residence, she was stopped by the guards at the entrance. The moment the news of Yun Chen's assassination spread, Lan Ao had already ordered the people in the residence not to let Lan Yue leave the residence. He was afraid that if Lan Yue learned of this news, something would happen.
He was especially afraid that Lan Yue would use this opportunity to force Xie Yunchen to write a divorce letter! As a father, he was very clear about his daughter's personality. She was originally unwilling to marry, and now that the prince was about to die, how could she be so willing to be a widow? Although the reputation of a widow would be much better if she was not divorced, Lan Yue would probably rather have freedom than a good reputation.
If Lan Yue really did this, she would not have a good life in the future. Once this matter was over, would His Highness still treat Lan Yue well for his sake? Would a woman who saw that her husband was about to die and came to ask for a divorce letter be welcomed by her husband?
"Miss, Master said that without his orders, you can't leave the residence. The injuries on your body haven't recovered yet. If anything happens to you when you leave the residence this time, we servants can't afford to be punished!”A servant in his twenties bent over with a troubled expression.
Lan Yue placed all her thoughts on Xie Yunchen. Her thoughts were in a mess. Not to mention that these servants could not stop her usually, let alone now that she was in a situation where she could not care less.
"Get lost!" Lan Yue shouted angrily and rushed forward without caring about anything else. She was about to crash into the group of people who were blocking her way.
The group of servants who were blocking Lan Yue hurriedly dodged, afraid that their young miss would bump into them. After all, there was a difference between men and women. Not to mention that they were servants, and Lan Yue was the master. If they were really knocked down by accident, they would probably not even know how they would die.
Although their master had instructed them not to let the young miss go out, they could not care less at this moment. Their lives were more important than anything else. Although they would be punished if Lan Yue escaped, at least they would not lose their lives.
If it was any other day, Lan Yue would definitely not do this. Even a woman from an ordinary family would not act so recklessly, let alone the daughter of the Prime Minister. However, at this moment, she just wanted to get out of this residence as soon as possible and did not care about anything else.
This was undoubtedly a very effective method. As she charged forward, she quickly ran out of the residence and ran in the direction of the Imperial Residence.
About two hours had passed by the time Lan Yue reached the entrance of the Prince's mansion. She walked into the mansion with heavy footsteps. Her face was flushed red and she was panting heavily. A wave of dizziness hit her and she was in a daze for a moment. She let go of Xiao Tuanzi in her arms and threw her out without warning.
Fortunately, the little furball was very sensitive. The moment Lan Yue threw it out, it adjusted its body and fell to the ground safely.
Lan Yue leaned forward. Fortunately, there was a long corridor not far away from her. She subconsciously reached out her hands to hold onto the pillar in front of her so that she would not fall.
This two-hour journey was undoubtedly very taxing for someone like her who had just recovered from her injuries. If it wasn't for the fact that she had placed all her attention on Xie Yunchen, she would have fainted on the way.
After a while, she managed to support herself and walked towards Xie Yunchen's residence. At this moment, there were many more people in the king's manor than before. Even the usually idle maidservants and servants were busy.
On the way, she met many servants who bowed to her. However, she did not have the time to care about these. At this moment, she only wanted to see if Xie Yunchen was as seriously injured as the man had said. She did not even know why she was in this state. She only knew that she did not want to be a widow like this.
The journey was not long, but Lan Yue felt as if she had walked for several years. When she reached Xie Yunchen's side, the room full of smelly Chinese herbs made her tremble. She barely managed to walk into the house.
