Chapter 116 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
The quiet and secluded courtyard is filled with orchids, including many rare varieties.
When Le Yan woke up from her coma, the first thing she saw was the blooming orchids hanging from the ceiling above her bed.
A faint fragrance surrounded her, quickly clearing her previously confused eyes.
what happened?
She sat up abruptly, recalling the scene before she lost consciousness, and quickly reached out to touch the back of her neck.
Upon touching the smooth texture, Le Yan frowned, withdrew her hand, and took a light sniff, only to detect a faint medicinal fragrance.
The back of my neck, which had been struck by a slap, didn't hurt at all, which was clearly due to the medicine.
She glanced down at her clothes again and saw that it was the same outfit she wore in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it seems that the people who kidnapped her still had some sense of propriety.
Her sleeve pocket was empty, which meant that the other party had searched her and taken the dagger that Li Li had given her for self-defense.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and all the somewhat sharp hairpins and gold hair ornaments had vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing of value.
Le Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Then, she glanced around the simple and elegant room and cautiously asked, "Is anyone home?"
After pausing for a moment and seeing that no one answered, she quickly got out of bed.
She tiptoed behind the door, held her breath, and carefully pressed her ear against it, trying to hear what was happening outside.
After listening for a while and hearing nothing, she finally opened the door with peace of mind.
As soon as you step outside, you are greeted by countless orchids swaying and fluttering in the wind.
The variety of types and colors is truly astonishing.
Unfortunately, Leyan was tactless; she only wanted to run away and didn't want to stay and admire the flowers.
I ran quickly toward the tightly closed courtyard gate, and just as my hand touched the bamboo door, a lazy, magnetic voice came from behind me, "Where are you going?"
Le Yan froze on the spot, unsure whether to continue opening the door or turn back.
She was racking her brains, and her embarrassment and panic were evident even from behind.
The owner of the voice chuckled softly, "Aren't you going to turn around and look at me?"
The voice was clearly far away from her, but when Le Yan tentatively turned around, she saw that the person was standing right behind her, no more than a step away.
"what!"
This was terrifying. Even though the man was handsome, Le Yan was so frightened that she kept backing away and leaned against the courtyard gate.
Her heart pounded with fear, and she instinctively clutched her chest, yelling, "Don't you know how scary it can be?!"
Thankfully, she didn't have a heart condition, otherwise she would have been meeting her maker in no time.
For the first time in her life, she was yelled at, but the man wasn't angry at all. Instead, he seemed a little flustered because he had frightened her, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
He reached out his fair, jade-like hand to pull Le Yan, but Le Yan dodged it.
Le Yan looked at him warily and defensively, pursing her lips as she questioned, "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? What do you want?"
The man asked three questions in quick succession. He silently withdrew his hand and obediently answered, "My name is Xiao Lanyi, Lan as in orchid and Yi as in ripples."
"I arrested you on a whim, as for what I wanted to do with you..."
What do you think about us getting married?
When the word "marriage" was mentioned, Xiao Lanyi's eyes instantly became ardent. She looked at Le Yan's palace dress with disdain and wished she could just tear it off and change into a wedding robe.
Le Yan quickly hugged her weak, pitiful, and helpless self, her mind filled with the three words "Xiao Lanyi".
Xiao Lanyi recognized this person; he was the main villain in the book!
It's that little prince who narrowly escaped death from the tyrannical male lead, then joined forces with the second male lead, the prime minister whose wife was taken from him, to rebel, but ultimately failed!
Having fallen into the villain's den, Le Yan wanted to cry but couldn't.
She pouted, her eyes darting around in a panicked and helpless manner.
Having finally snapped out of the shock of "Xiao Lanyi," the two sentences he said afterward popped into my mind.
Putting aside how outrageous the random kidnapping was, let's talk about this wedding. Is the main villain really not a lunatic?
Why was he so direct in saying he wanted to marry her?!
Le Yan held back for a while, but finally couldn't help herself and asked directly, her voice trembling, "Are you serious?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanyi blinked blankly for a moment before realizing what she was asking, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Of course."
"I never joke!"
He had his wedding robes prepared overnight and the wedding room arranged. If it weren't for waiting for her to wake up, he would have already been a married man.
At this point, Xiao Lanyi smiled and looked at Le Yan with excited eyes, asking for praise: "Qingqing, look how good I am. I specially waited for you to wake up before preparing for the wedding. I even prepared the wedding dress. You don't have to worry about anything."
His face practically screamed "I want a reward!"
Le Yan felt helpless about this and could only choose to remain silent.
As for getting married, she's really grateful.
However, seeing the other person like this, she understood that it must be her constitution that was working, and her life was safe.
As for the others, I'm not so sure.
Thinking of this, Le Yan took a deep breath and tentatively began, "Um, Xiao..."
“Lanyi,” Xiao Lanyi interrupted her, emphasizing in a serious tone, “call me Lanyi.”
Le Yan didn't argue and immediately changed her tune: "Lan Yi, do you know who I am? You just want to marry me? Do you want to marry every single person you meet?"
She didn't say it, but her eyes clearly showed her disdain, as if to say, "How can you be so casual?"
Xiao Lanyi panicked instantly and hurriedly explained, "No, I don't want to marry everyone I meet. It's only you. I only want to marry you!"
He panicked and, feeling somewhat helpless, reached out to grab Le Yan's hand, repeatedly explaining, "Believe me, I'm not that casual. It's just that it's you, so I want to settle down with you as soon as possible and don't want someone else to take you away."
After all, he had taken her from someone else.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lanyi's eyes darkened for a moment, and a surge of malice welled up in her heart, but she forcibly suppressed it.
Le Yan silently withdrew her hand, shook her head, and said firmly, "I don't believe it."
Not only did she not believe it, she was also very resistant to marriage. "I've only known you for one day. You can get married so easily, but I can't. I will not marry you."
She paused, then added angrily, "Of course, I was captured by you. I have no say. If you insist on getting married, then just tie me up, or knock me out again, and then it's up to you."
Le Yan grew angrier as she spoke, and stretched out her hands in front of Xiao Lanyi, repeatedly gesturing for him to tie her up.
Xiao Lanyi was caught off guard by her unconventional behavior and was so startled that he subconsciously took a step back, avoiding Le Yan's hands that were about to punch him.
He looked panicked and helpless. "No, Qingqing, I... please listen to me..."
Xiao Lanyi wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to explain, and her head was throbbing with pain.
Helpless, he could only quickly end the topic of marriage and change the subject, saying, "Qingqing, are you hungry? You've slept for five or six hours, you must be hungry. I'll go cook for you, just wait for me."
Xiao Lanyi talked to herself the whole time, and then ran to the backyard as if she were escaping.
Le Yan watched his flustered back until he was out of sight, and only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the villain didn't actually force her, otherwise she really wouldn't have had any way to escape.
She glanced up at the backyard again, and seeing no one there, she quickly turned around and tried to open the gate to the courtyard.
Then run away.
However, the door opened with ease.
But you can't run away.
Looking at the eighteen burly men guarding the door, Le Yan fell silent.
The eighteen burly men also fell silent.
