Lan Yao was startled when she heard the words, but she didn't expect that she would be able to subdue Wen Ruyu successfully. After all, there is more than national hatred and family hatred between him and her body.

But after thinking about it, Lan Yao understood what Wen Ruyu's move meant.

After all, she had revealed the biggest secret to herself, and to Wen Ruyu, who had nowhere to go, her overtures were nothing more than the hope of survival.

In other words, her existence replaced the position of the original host and the heroine in the later period, and became his only salvation in the desperate situation.

Lan Yao looked directly into Wen Ruyu's gaze, as if she had seen through his heart, and replied flatly:
"I won't make this deal."

A look of disappointment flashed in Wen Ruyu's eyes, as if she couldn't believe that this was the answer from Lan Yao, and she lost her voice:

"Why? Could it be that His Majesty also feels that this deal is not worth it—"

Lan Yao originally wanted to show off, but seeing that the other party wanted to belittle herself again, she immediately interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking, and said bluntly:

"Because I want to be your companion!"

Lan Yao stretched out her hand, her dark eyes seemed to hide the moon and stars, her smile was extremely bright, and she said:

"Wen Ruyu, I know the ambition in your heart, and you definitely don't want to succumb to the position of a talented person in the harem. Your talent will be buried here, but whatever you and I do, the road ahead will be difficult."

Wen Ruyu never thought that she could have such a turnaround. Seeing Lan Yao treat him like this, she was even more convinced that the person in front of her was not the female tyrant Ning Shu.

At that moment, Wen Ruyu, who had nothing left, stared at Lan Yao's scorching eyes, and his dead heart seemed to be alive again, dragging him out of the endless abyss step by step with infinite heat and hope.

Wen Ruyu was originally the crown prince of Dongchen, but once he fell, he was as humble as dust, and his previous self-confidence and courage turned into cautious hesitation:

"Your Majesty, I can really—"

Lan Yao was actually very happy that Wen Ruyu was able to let go of his hatred and start a new life. She thought he couldn't let go of his obsession easily, but she didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly.

She knew that Wen Ruyu was a gentleman, so she didn't doubt his intentions. A man of Zhilan Yushu like him should be treated kindly by fate.

She created him, but she also brought him extreme pain and suffering. Now that she was able to bring him out of the sea of ​​suffering, it must be considered repayment.

"Why not?" Lan Yao responded quickly, with an inspiring enthusiasm in her voice:
"Mr. Wen, why should you be inferior to yourself? When you were the prince of a country, you can be said to have both civil and military skills, good governance, and won the love of the people."

"When it comes to the righteousness of a gentleman and the way of governing the country, I am absolutely inferior to you."

Lan Yao spoke very frankly, and she continued: "Now that I occupy the body of Ning Shu, a female tyrant, no matter what I want to do, I am restricted everywhere."

"I sit firmly in this position not only to protect myself, but also to save the Daxuan people. Maybe I can't be as selfless as you, but I will do my best to be a wise king and a holy lord."

Lan Yao knows how powerful language is, so she has been learning and improving since entering the workplace, so she has mastered many skills in speaking with people, and her verbal skills have become more and more powerful.

Seeing that she had captured Wen Ruyu's heart, she went further and said naturally:
"So, no matter what your original intention is, I hope that you can truly abandon past hatred and prejudice, and live again."

Lan Yao stretched out her hand again and extended an invitation: "Then, Wen Ruyu, are you willing to be my companion?"

The elegant and solemn young master was deeply moved by these words again. He bowed and saluted, and replied solemnly and reverently:

"I am willing!"

Lan Yao tightly held Wen Ruyu's extended hand, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Okay, no matter when in the future, we will trust each other unconditionally and never give up!"

Lan Yao knew that the person on the other side promised a lot of money and was not someone who was greedy for power and wealth, so she directly made such a promise.

Although at first she showed her kindness because she couldn't bear it and felt guilty, the subsequent rescues had another purpose. All in all, she didn't want him to become enemies with herself.

But at this moment, she really wanted to make Wen Ruyu a friend.

There was finally a smile on Wen Ruyu's handsome face, he raised his head, his eyes were as firm as the gravel washed away from jade, and humbly promised:

"In this life, Wen Ruyu will never betray His Majesty once she lives for one day!"

Lan Yao got a general, and she jumped in her heart, raised her eyebrows immediately, and said indifferently:
"Since we are friends, we must do what we promised you. Let me take you to meet someone first, maybe she can help you."

Wen Ruyu was still a little uncomfortable with Lan Yao's enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

*
Lan Yao directly dragged Wen Ruyu out of the palace, but Wen Ruyu felt a little inexplicable about her operation of walking away at will.

There are not many people Lan Yao can trust, so she went out of the palace in low clothes in order to deceive others, so she didn't go through the main entrance, and sneaked out under the pretext of handling official documents with Wen Ruyu.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Ruyu stood in an unattended corner of the palace, looking at the two-meter-high wall in front of her, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lan Yao glanced at Qi Feng who was following, and reconfirmed: "Qi Feng, you can guarantee that no one will stop you if you go out here, right?"

Qi Feng looked at Her Majesty who was so convulsed, with two black lines appearing from the forehead, and said affirmatively:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your subordinates have already checked around, and also transferred the patrolling guards. Don't worry, Your Majesty, no one will find out."

Wen Ruyu frowned, and she was full of doubts about Lan Yao's unimaginable behavior. She didn't know who she took herself to see, and she made such trouble.

However, Wen Ruyu knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to measure, and he had already chosen to trust the person in front of him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Lan Yao's heart swayed and her eyes closed, and she immediately followed the mental method learned from Meng Shuang to mobilize the zhenqi in her body, leaped quickly, and flew over the palace wall.

"Ah!" After successfully landing on the ground, Lan Yao felt that her steps had become a lot lighter, and when she was happy in her heart, she hurriedly urged: "You guys come out too!"

Then, when Lan Yao raised her head and saw a swift figure flash by, Qi Feng, who was always neat and tidy, stood in front of her, bowed and said:
"His Majesty."

Looking at this ignorant subordinate, Lan Yao wanted to cry, but said in a low voice, "Qi Feng, don't you know that Wen Ruyu's martial arts have been abolished? How did he get out without internal strength?"

"If you don't pick him up, why don't you let me go?"

Qi Feng patted the back of his head, the first time he didn't execute the order to remedy it immediately, but he was very embarrassed:

"But my subordinates feel that it seems inappropriate for me to bring Yu Cairen, and Yu Cairen is still yours—"

Lan Yao looked at the straightforward side of this subordinate who has always been unsmiling, so she was not angry with him for his lack of wink, and said resignedly:

"Okay, okay, I'm going!"

Lan Yao didn't have any sense of hierarchy, so she didn't care who would do this kind of thing, so she quickly returned to the palace wall, looked at the young man in white standing there quietly, and said rather embarrassedly:

"Well, I forgot that you can't get out of this palace wall now, I'm sorry, if I hadn't abolished your—"

Lan Yao really felt guilty, and Wen Ruyu could feel it when she observed her words, so she said in harmony without waiting for her to finish speaking:
"You didn't do it, so don't apologize. Your Majesty doesn't owe me anything. If it weren't for His Majesty, I probably wouldn't be able to persist and die in this palace."

"Ah, don't talk about this unhappy thing, let's go, and this time will not be enough!" Lan Yao directly took Wen Ruyu's cold hand, wrapped it around his waist, and said in a businesslike way:

"Well, this is just for the convenience of going out, don't mind!"

Wen Ruyu lowered her eyebrows and replied flatly: "Okay!"

Although it was only for a moment, Wen Ruyu still felt uncomfortable like an electric shock, but the moment his skin touched, there was no more disgust and disgust in his heart.

Because it was the first time to do it, Lan Yao was afraid that she would make a joke with Wen Ruyu if she stumbled, so she focused on exercising her internal energy, not knowing that Wen Ruyu's ears were turning red.

"Okay!" Lan Yao successfully brought Wen Ruyu over the wall and landed, and immediately let go of his hand. Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, and thinking of the torture he had suffered in the past few days, she couldn't help but said with concern:

"Wen Ruyu, can you still hold on?"

Wen Ruyu nodded, and said in relief: "It's okay, Your Majesty, don't worry."

In fact, Lan Yao knew that Wen Ruyu's new injuries and old injuries were also very uncomfortable at the moment, so she got into the carriage that had been waiting here, and urged Qi Feng: "Then let's go, Qing Li should wait!"

Behind her, Wen Ruyu gently pressed her finger against her aching forehead, with a slight smile on her face, she replied, "Okay."

Even though her face was as pale as paper and her body was thin and frail, Wen Ruyu's gaze became extremely gentle when looking at the woman's slender back from a distance, the heat in her eyes could almost scorch one's heart and lungs.

At that moment, he knew that he really had the hope and courage to live...
