After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 427…

Worried that she would miss her nephew because she got up late the next morning, Liu Qiuwu put away her hairpin and went back to bed.

Seeing this, Li Jingran also quickly went to bed.

But he was worried about his nephew and couldn't fall asleep for a while. He rested his head on his arm and asked Li Jingran:

"Why did they suddenly come to Beijing? They were in such a hurry. Did they encounter some difficulties?"

Li Jingran said, "Don't think too much. Maybe he just doesn't want to embarrass you. Besides, there's a person claiming to be your sister's orphan who keeps looking for you to cry about his suffering and tries to recognize you. If you hadn't stopped him, he would have been taken back by his uncle and aunt by now. It's not difficult to find out."

That’s also a reason, Liu Qiuwu sighed.

"But I always feel that they came to Beijing for more than just this reason."

For some reason, he has been feeling uneasy lately, and has a vague feeling that something big is going to happen.

Li Jingran thought he was worrying too much. His nephew had only relatives like them and had never set foot in the capital before. As long as he didn't reveal his identity, what danger could there be? If there was any hidden danger around him, it would only be because of one person.

Thinking of his former mortal enemy and current nephew-in-law again, Li Jingran's tone still revealed a hint of disdain: "When Ling Chuan resigned from his post, he was ruthless and cut off the source of his troubles without leaving any way out. He basically offended everyone in the Beijing circle who could and could not be offended, especially the two who are in the limelight now. Can't he avoid them?"

As they were both in the Beijing's noble circle, Liu Qiuwu naturally knew all this. Otherwise, when he first learned that Ze Ge'er was his nephew, he would not have thought of separating the two.

"A general from a humble family who holds military power and has no family ties is a rare good helper. If he can be used for one's own benefit, he will be even more powerful. Ha, they are all thoughtful people. Who would be willing to let him go and let others take advantage of him?"

Li Jingran also returned to that memory. He remembered that he was jealous for a long time because Qiu Wu took the risk to help Ling Chuan.

"He still has some brains and didn't let himself be led by the nose. How could I have a chance to take over? It's a father-son relationship. As the father, I'm happy with how the younger ones fight, but others can't. If they get involved, no matter which side they stand on, the outcome is doomed to be bad. The only way is to stand firm and show loyalty. Otherwise, even if you don't have that intention, you'll be looked down upon. I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless even after I left. Fortunately, I did what he wanted and didn't get embarrassed."

"You can only live if you win the bet." Liu Qiuwu said dimly. The emperor's heart is unpredictable. It was a good ending for Lingchuan to resign from his official position and retire to the mountains at that time. It was just that the word fate was subtle. Lingchuan actually married Ze Ge'er, the only blood of his sister. And now the Liu family is a piece of fat meat that the eldest prince has been coveting for a long time and must swallow. If he knew that Lingchuan was the nephew-in-law of the Liu family, he would probably be even more reluctant to let him go.

"Don't frown, wrinkles are showing." Li Jingran said half-jokingly.

"You're not young anymore." Liu Qiuwu's brows relaxed, "Ze'er's identity won't be hidden for long."

All the fake people have appeared. Exclusion is one of the strategies, another possibility is that they know something.

"We can meet tomorrow. If you have any ideas, we can discuss them together. It's useless to overthink. No matter what happens, I will go with you. As for Ze Ge'er, he is smart. Even if his identity is exposed, he will not be a pushover. At worst, there is Lingchuan. If he can't even protect his husband, he should go back to school and be retrained."

Liu Qiuwu suddenly found it funny, "I remember you always disliked him, but today it seems that you think highly of him."

Seeing that the man finally smiled, Li Jingran's eyes also unconsciously showed a smile: "One thing is one thing, anyway, I didn't say it in front of him, go to sleep quickly, I haven't seen Brother Ze for a long time, you have to go with a good mood."

"Yeah." Liu Qiuwu moved his body, adjusted to a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.

Li Jingran was not sleepy for the moment. He stared at the person intently, as if he could never see enough.

Liu Qiuwu opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Don't stare at me, or you can go to the study and sleep."

"Let's go to sleep now." Li Jingran closed his eyes immediately. He didn't want to sleep in the study.

Liu Qiuwu glanced at him indifferently, closed his eyes and pretended to doze off, and gradually fell asleep.

After making sure that Liu Qiuwu was asleep, Li Jingran opened his eyes, slightly leaned closer, and gently kissed him on the face: "Sweet dreams, my Ah Qiu, I hope you have me in your dreams."

Then she tucked him in, lay back down, and slept together.

It's late at night, the moon is cold and lonely, and the autumn wind in the courtyard plays with the leaves dancing, bringing with it an indelible sadness.

In Prince Xian's mansion, from one room there were occasional groans of pain from a man, and also another trembling voice of comfort.

"Ah Che, Ah Che! Don't be afraid. It won't hurt soon. We will soon find a way to cure the poison. You will definitely be able to hold on. Don't leave me..."

It was Yu Shuche's poison that had broken out.

Fearing that he might hurt himself, Qiao Ruicheng tied his limbs and stuffed something in his mouth.

"Um! Uh..."

Yu Shuche struggled in pain, his face was extremely pale, and tears and sweat soaked his hair and clothes.

The pain of the Red Lotus Scorpion Gu is like having your bone marrow eaten by thousands of ants. Even if you have the strongest will, it will be worn away by the overwhelming pain.

"Well..." He wanted to die...

Yu Shuche was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He looked at Qiao Ruicheng who was kneeling in front of the bed with a sad look in his eyes. He was begging him, he wanted to be free...

Qiao Ruicheng understood the look in his eyes, and his heart was broken at the sight, with pain and bitterness flooding in his heart.

"Ah Che, please bear with it for a while, can you please bear with it for a while? It will be over soon. In a few days, we will get married. Didn't we agree on this? You will stay with me for the rest of my life. You can't break your promise..."

Qiao Ruicheng's voice was hoarse, like crushed sand, and tears fell.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they do until they are heartbroken. The person dearest to them is suffering right before their eyes, but they are powerless to do anything and cannot let go. Qiao Ruicheng is so angry!

It would be better if he was the one who was poisoned. It was he who failed to protect his Ah Che...
