You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 137 Xiao Yan is in coma 1 and keeps calling Lin Zhaoyue's name

A picture of hundreds of birds and thousands of mountains?

"What is that?"

Xiao Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said:

"Miss Lin, you only need to know that I want that thing. You don't need to know what it is."

Since it was what Xiao Chen wanted, Lin Zhaoyue felt that it was not a simple Thousand Mountains Map.

"Your Highness is really praising me. I am now locked up in a dungeon and it is difficult for me to get out. How can I get the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting?"

Lin Zhaoyue said in a calm tone.

Xiao Chen smiled meaningfully, he leaned down and looked at her.

"Don't play dumb, Lin Zhaoyue. Given the prince's affection for you, it won't be a problem for you to get the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting if you want."

Lin Zhaoyue raised her red lips and smiled:

"Then I'm afraid the eldest prince will be disappointed. The prince has no affection for me, otherwise he wouldn't have locked me up in a place like this, right?"

No affection for her?

If the prince really had no feelings for her, why did he insist on having a ghost marriage with her after he thought she was dead?

Moreover, this time, she injured Liu Yiyi so badly. Given the prince's temper, it would not be as simple as locking her up in a dungeon and breaking one of her hands.

It's obvious that he's deeply in love but doesn't realize it.

"Oh?"

Xiao Chen said with a smile on his face:

"I don't think so. As far as I know, the prince married you after your death."

Lin Zhaoyue frowned:

"How did the eldest prince know?"

When she came to the capital, she didn't hear any news about this matter.

If the eldest prince also knew about this, how could he not use it to ruin Xiao Yun's reputation?

“It’s not hard to figure out.”

However, after the spring hunt was over, his father summoned him to the imperial study, and without any evidence, he was severely scolded and given a warning.

After that, even though he knew about the ridiculous things Xiao Yan had done, he did not act rashly again.

Moreover, although the ghost marriage was absurd, it would not affect Xiao Yin's position as the crown prince.

He still remembered that at that time in the imperial study, his good father's words and deeds were all about defending the Crown Prince Xiao Yan.

He didn't understand why, even though they were both sons of his father, his father always favored the crown prince since he was a child. How was he worse than Xiao Yan?

Xiao Chen stood up straight, still with a smile on his face, but his eyes turned cold.

"I believe that you have a way to get the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting. Besides, hasn't Miss Lin always wanted to pull the Crown Prince down from the throne of the East Palace?"

Xiao Chen paused deliberately, his eyes fierce:

"As long as I get the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting, I will make sure that he will never be able to turn over."

Can a painting of a hundred birds and a thousand mountains pull Xiao Yun down from the position of crown prince?

Lin Zhaoyue's heart trembled, and she remembered something, her eyes widened slightly:

"I'm afraid what the eldest prince wants is not the map of a hundred birds and a thousand mountains, but the map of the defense of the eastern border!"

Only the loss of the defense map would be enough to pull Xiao Yan down from that position.

Lin Zhaoyue wished Xiao Yun dead, but she knew that the defense map was of great importance. If it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a disaster for the country.

Seeing Xiao Chen's slightly surprised look, Lin Zhaoyue knew that she had guessed right and directly refused:

"I refuse this cooperation. I will not steal the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting."

Xiao Chen sneered when he heard this:

"Lin Zhaoyue, from the moment you chose to cooperate with me, we are now in the same boat. You have to steal this picture even if you don't want to."

"Why do you have to force me, Prince? I am just a prisoner now."

Xiao Chen's lips curled up into a cold smile:

"Lin Zhaoyue, if my information is correct, your second and third brothers are in Jiangzhou."

Lin Zhaoyue's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface. She looked at him and asked:

"What do you mean, Prince?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes, and he said slowly:

"Jiangzhou is my territory. In Jiangzhou, it would be easy for me to kill the two young masters."

As he spoke, he pulled out two purses from his sleeve pocket and threw them in front of her.

One is cyan, the other is dark blue, and both pouches are embroidered with two fat bats.

This was given to them, the brothers and sisters, by their elder sister. Each of them holds one. Their elder sister said it symbolizes happiness and good luck.

Looking at the familiar pattern, Lin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Chen with cold eyes:

"Is the eldest prince threatening me?"

Xiao Chen smiled:

"You might as well think so."

Lin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth:

“As a prince, I believe that the eldest prince should know more about what this defense map means than I do.

If there is any accident and the East Territory is breached, how many people will die? Have you ever thought about it, Grand Prince? "

Xiao Chen looked at Lin Zhaoyue, the smile on his lips deepened, and there was a look in his eyes that Lin Zhaoyue could not understand.

In the past, he only thought of her as a spoiled lady in the boudoir.

Arrogant, illiterate and extremely stupid.

He had seen her many times since he had started working with her.

"As expected of Duke Lin's daughter."

The bones are the same.

He paused for a moment and continued:

"Of course I know how important the defense map is. After all, my surname is Xiao, the son of Tianlong. Although I really want to bring Xiao Yan down, I will not joke about the safety of a country."

"What? Miss Lin Er thinks that I can't even protect a defense map?"

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes darkened slightly.

Indeed, even though Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan fought to the death in their previous life, and even though Xiao Chen lost in the end, he had never done anything to hurt An Guo.

Moreover, in the previous life, the Eastern Territory had not been lost.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Chen struck while the iron was hot.

"As long as you follow my plan and obtain the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting, your two brothers will be safe."

Thinking of something, Xiao Chen looked at Lin Zhaoyue's bright face and said:

"By the way, don't even think about passing on the message to Duke Lin to rescue your second and third brothers. Since I've already got their personal belongings, I've naturally arranged people around them. As soon as Duke Lin makes a move, I'll have them killed immediately."

"Xiao Chen! How dare you!"

Lin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.

At this moment, she was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

There was a glimmer of interest in Xiao Chen's eyes. He thought that she was so interesting in this lively way. No wonder even his royal brother couldn't help but be moved.

"The map is in my hands, and I will never allow any accidents to happen to it. You can put away your unnecessary worries. After all, I don't want to be infamous for eternity."

After a pause, he leaned forward slightly, got closer to her, and said:

"After this is done, how about I marry you as my principal wife?"

"Xiao Chen, you are sick! I don't want you."

Xiao Yan and he are indeed brothers, both of them are sick.

It seems like no one would want to marry him, and whoever marries a member of the royal family will be unlucky.

Xiao Chen laughed and stopped teasing her:

"Lin Zhaoyue, get the Hundred Birds and Thousand Mountains Painting as soon as possible, preferably within a month."

One month was the deadline the Queen gave him.

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and said nothing until Xiao Chen left with the "father-in-law" who was guarding outside the door...

……

The Duke's Mansion.

As the night deepened, thunder began to roar again.

While sleeping, Lin Wan felt as if she was being stared at closely by a strong gaze, which made her unable to sleep well.

She dreamed that there was a huge black snake standing beside her bed, its vertical pupils staring at her coldly and constantly spitting out its tongue.

Suddenly, it opened its bloody mouth and pounced on her...

The dream was torn apart and an intense fear surrounded her. Lin Wan was so scared that she sat up from the bed.

Sweat soaked her pure white pajamas, the soft fabric clung to her graceful figure, her long black hair fell down, unlike her usual dignified appearance, at this moment she was particularly vulnerable and attractive.

She gasped for breath, trying to calm herself down.

She was clearly awake, but she still felt like she was being stalked by a prey.

There was a sudden loud thunder in the sky. When Lin Wan looked up, she saw a figure standing in front of her bed.

Just as Lin Wan was about to scream, the man covered her mouth.

The familiar smell of agarwood came over her, and she met Pei Jing... no, Pei Yanli's deep gaze.

Lin Wan's eyes widened, a chill ran up her spine, and fear enveloped her whole body like a tide.

Why did this pervert appear in her boudoir in the middle of the night?

Pei Yanli forcefully pulled her into his arms, covered her mouth with one hand, rested his head on her neck, and deeply inhaled her fragrance.

God knows how much he missed her after not seeing her for many days.

I'm going crazy thinking about it!

In the light of the lightning, he stared at her crystal ears for a long time, then opened his mouth and bit them, punishing her.

Lin Wan didn't expect him to do this suddenly, and her whole body froze instantly.

Fire was burning in her chest, and she wanted to burn everything.

This pervert!

She struggled hard, but her strength was not enough to shake the man in front of her.

"If you don't scream, I'll let you go."

In this situation, she couldn't scream.

Lin Wan gradually calmed down and nodded.

She looked at Pei Yanli with cold eyes and rejection all over her body:

"Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, how long are you going to hide from us?"

Lin Wan had not left the house in the past few days, and she had rejected all the invitations and visiting cards sent by the Pei Mansion or other young masters and ladies.

In order to avoid these two perverts, she didn't expect that Pei Yanli would come to her.

Lin Wan's nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes:

"Pei Yanli, there are so many good girls in the world, can you please let me go? I beg you."

She is really scared.

She admitted that she was a coward.

She doesn’t want Pei Jing either.

Pei Yanli saw her crying and reached out his hand to wipe her tears, but Lin Wan dodged him.

He didn't like the feeling of being rejected by her, so he frowned and said:

"Don't hide."

Lin Wan naturally wouldn't listen to him. She reached out to shake his hand off, but he grabbed her wrist and pressed her down on the bed.

"Pei Yanli, what are you crazy about?"

The familiar voice was hoarse. He wiped her tears gently and said:

"It's been so long, Wanwan still haven't made up your mind?"

What to think about?

Have you thought about what he said, that it was just one more person loving her?

She couldn't wipe away her tears at all. She was too scared. She was so scared that she couldn't say anything to refute. She just begged bitterly:

"Pei Yanli, if you really need women, you can go to a brothel and have three wives and four concubines. I beg you to let me go. I will even kowtow to you. I beg you..."

If this continues, she will really go crazy.

Pei Yanli looked down at her, stared at her for a long while, and said slowly:

"There are many good girls in the world, but there is only one Lin Wan. Wanwan, don't hide from me, and don't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you."

Lin Wan's tears flowed even more violently as she complained:

“But you’ve hurt me, you’ve played with my feelings.

Pei Yanli, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have saved you in the first place. Please let me go. Or, you can stab yourself with a knife or lie drunk on the street and let another noble lady save you. Maybe you will think she is better than me. Please let me go.

If you just feel bad because I saved you, you can give me money..."

She cried and said a lot, but in short, it was just three words:

Let her go.

But how could he let her go?

"Wanwan, I'm not kidding, I'm sincere. Can't you accept my love like this?"

"It's not a question of acceptance or not, it's that I don't want it, Pei Yanli, I don't want your love."

Thinking of what he said that day, Lin Wan said:

"Pei Yanli, your concept is wrong! Yes, maybe the moral etiquette that I believe in is just another form of exploitation, but people themselves cannot be completely free. We are bound by secular constraints so that our family can be stable. Pei Yanli, it's not that you can do whatever you want."

Lin Wan didn't know whether he understood what she said or not. She just saw him suddenly smile slowly.

The smile is creepy.

Lin Wan's scalp tingled. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she continued:

"Pei Yanli, I don't know what kind of person you like, but it must not be someone like me who never leaves the house and has old-fashioned ideas. Maybe your special feelings for me are just because I saved you at that time, and you mistook gratitude for love..."

Before Lin Wan finished speaking, Pei Yanli smiled again and stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate face:

"Lin Wan, although I have never liked anyone, I can still distinguish between liking and being grateful."

"Let you go? Impossible."

As he spoke, he put his hand on her chest and asked in confusion:

"You obviously like me too, is it so difficult to accept me?"

The hope in Lin Wan's eyes was shattered, and it was useless to say anything to him.

She was exhausted and said helplessly:

"Pei Yanli, have you ever thought about this? If I really marry into the Pei family, how will others view us? How will the child deal with it? How will the child view his mother when he grows up? Have you ever thought about these?"

Just thinking about these things would drive Lin Wan crazy

"This is not difficult to do. The one who married you was Jing'er from the beginning to the end.

By then I will marry a wife and make her disappear. If you have a child, you can give it to me and no one will suspect anything..."

Lin Wan looked at him with a matter-of-fact look, and fear and despair surged in her heart again:

"Pei Yanli, you are really crazy!"

"That's a human life!"

Seeing that she was afraid, Pei Yanli thought for a moment and said:

"Then I will fake my death. From now on, there will be no more Pei Yanli in the world, only Pei Jing."

"Go away, go away..."

……

The rain started to fall again. Lin Zhaoyue held an umbrella and followed Feng Xin to the prince's bedroom.

His Highness was unconscious and kept calling Miss Lin's name. Feng Xin had no choice but to call Lin Zhaoyue over.

As soon as Lin Zhaoyue entered, she saw Xiao Yun, as if in a nightmare, and kept calling Zhaozhao.
