Chapter 188: Staying Alone in the Empty Room
In the light of the fire, the bruises under Lu Jilian's eyes were particularly obvious, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot.

He looked at Ye Wanqing: "Having come to this point, are you happy?"

Ye Wanqing frowned: "If Lord Lu asked me to come just to talk about this, I'm sorry I won't accompany you."

After finishing speaking, he left.

"Madam." Lu Jilian called her.

lady……

Ye Wanqing suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Lu Jilian: "Why bother with these meaningless entanglements? I have already married someone else, and it has nothing to do with you anymore. Let me go and let yourself go, isn't it better?"

"Because you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, you went to make a deal with my father?" Lu Jilian lowered his voice a little: "Do you know what he said to me?"

Ye Wanqing's eyelids twitched twice.

Could it be that Marquis Dingyuan betrayed her?

It shouldn't be.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Jilian lowered his voice a little: "My father told me not to get entangled with you anymore and let me marry and have children. He is such a proud man, but in order to force me to agree, he almost knelt down in front of me."

Marquis Dingyuan?
kneel?

Ye Wanqing was very surprised.

After being surprised, she looked at Lu Jilian and said, "Marquis Dingyuan is your father. There is no one in the world who wishes you the best more than he does. The fate between you and me has already ended. I have married someone else, and it is time for you to get married and have children. I am living a good life, and I hope you are too."

"End of fate?" Lu Jilian's eyes fell on her face: "You said it's over, so it's over? You were my wife, and you married someone else, but you still persuaded me to get married and have children. Why didn't I realize you were such a generous person before?"

"Then what do you want?" Ye Wanqing met his gaze: "If I marry you again, I will be like a vase, trapped in your backyard for the rest of my life, and I will either recuperate or give birth to children. I am a tool for you to give birth to children, and children are your tools to gain power and shine. What about you? Aren't you also a tool?

There is no emotion in your heart or eyes, only your power, your Lu family, and your people."

Lu Jilian pursed his lips tightly.

Ye Wanqing's eyes were slightly hot, but her expression was calm: "Whether you think I'm generous or selfish, that's your business. Anyway, we don't owe each other anything."

"Neither of us owes each other anything..." Lu Jilian muttered these words softly.

After a moment, he raised his eyes.

Ye Wanqing looked at him.

Lu Jilian gradually calmed down and regained his usual gentleness: "How can there be no debt between you and me? I owe you a lot, and I must pay you back.

I don't mind that you've been married, or that you've had sex with other men. If I want, I can always find a way to get you back to me. You know how I used to do that, don't you? "

Ye Wanqing frowned and said, "Just try and see if you dare to touch him!"

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Lu Jilian raised his chin and looked at the dense locust tree: "Haven't I tried it before?"

Ye Wanqing's fingers hanging under her sleeves tightened one by one.

What Lu Jilian was talking about was assassination.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Jilian continued: "It's easy to make a person disappear from this world."

Ye Wanqing's knuckles cracked.

She stared coldly at Lu Jilian: "Since Lord Lu is so capable, why not let me disappear from this world first. When I die, no one will bother you anymore."

Lu Jilian's eyes changed color, and his expression gradually cooled down: "What is so good about Chu Anlan that makes you willing to die for him?"

"Why bother to dwell on these meaningless things?" Ye Wanqing pursed her lips and said, "I have given birth to five children for you, and I have died for you five times. If I must make it clear, then dying for you is my duty as a wife, but dying for him is something I am willing to do."

Lu Jilian moved his body and was speechless for a long time.

It lasted so long that the door of the inner prison was half closed. The soldiers on duty finished their shift and came out to change the oil lamps at the door.

The door of the Dali Temple Prison made a dull sound and voices were heard.

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes.

At the entrance of Dali Temple Prison, the general who was leading the troops to guard the gate walked up the steps and said something to a palace guard.

As they talked, the two of them looked over here from time to time.

Soon, the palace guard left.

The gate of the Dali Temple fell silent again. Ye Wanqing glanced at the silent night, ignored Lu Jilian, and raised her foot to leave.

"No one has ever taught me how to love someone..." Lu Jilian's voice came from behind him: "No one has ever taught me how to be a husband or a father..."

Ye Wanqing paused, then got on the carriage without looking back.

She said nothing after all.

If you really like it, why do you need others to teach you?
He just wasn't willing to give in.

I am unwilling to accept that what I once owned will one day become someone else's.

That must be the case.

The carriage was burning with a very light and cool incense, which could help people calm down and concentrate.

Ying Xiang lowered the curtain and asked with concern, "Princess, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ye Wanqing said tiredly, "I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a while."

"Are we going back to the mansion?" Ying Xiang lowered her voice, "Master Lu is still standing under the locust tree outside the inner prison wall."

Ye Wanqing closed her eyes: "Don't worry about him."

Sakuraka responded.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the carriage.

A steady and powerful voice came over: "Princess, I am the attendant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you should go back to the palace first and don't wait any longer."

Don’t wait any longer?
What does this mean?

Ye Wanqing asked through the curtain, "Did His Royal Highness say anything else?"

The guard said, "His Highness also told you to relax and have a good sleep and rest after you go back. I have conveyed your message, and I will withdraw now."

After saying this, he bowed to her and turned back to the Dali Temple Prison.

Ying Xiang asked: "Princess, what should we do?"

Ye Wanqing was silent.

She looked through the gap in the carriage curtain at the open gate of the Dali Temple Prison. The flickering firelight illuminated the dark inner courtyard.

There was a carriage parked in the inner courtyard.

That is the prince's carriage.

The prince told her to relax and have a good sleep.

That means don't worry.

Ye Wanqing's anxious heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

She lowered the curtain and said, "No need to wait any longer, let's go back to the palace."

Wangfu.

Prince Dun and the Princess are still waiting.

Upon hearing that Ye Wanqing had returned home, the two of them immediately went out to greet her. When they didn't see Chu Anlan, their expressions dimmed.

Princess Dun forced a smile and said, "It's getting late. Now that Qing'er is back, go back and rest early."

Ye Wanqing said: "I failed to bring the prince back."

"This is none of your business." Prince Dun said, "Prince Duan's rebellion came too suddenly. An Lan and the others had been friends with Chu Xiaoyan for more than ten years, so it's not surprising that they were called in for investigation. If they want to investigate, let them investigate. If we investigate everything at once, it will be clear and innocent, and it will save us a lot of trouble..."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I think so too."

After chatting with the prince and princess for a few more words, Ye Wanqing returned to her room.

The red silk and red lanterns in the mansion have not been taken down yet, and under the reflection of the lanterns, the mansion is still full of joy.

However, it was bustling and noisy last night, but tonight only Ye Wanqing is left.

Who could have thought that on the second night after her marriage, she would be alone in an empty room?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
