It was already very late when Gu Ying and I returned to the small courtyard. The courtyard was completely silent except for the soft, silky rustling sound of the leaves.
Li Nanke was surprised when he saw that the lights in the main room were also extinguished. According to Luo Qianqiu's temperament, she would wait for him to come back before going to bed.
"Go back to the house and rest."
Li Nanke hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of continuing to discuss life with Gu Ying.
"Um."
Gu Ying hummed softly, lowered her head and entered her room. The bright moonlight fell on the side of the woman's face, making the remaining red glow look particularly moving.
At this time, the mistress no longer looked like she had lost her temper before.
Sure enough, sometimes it takes a shot to be honest.
Li Nanke tiptoed into the main room and saw his wife lying quietly on the bed, so he took off his clothes and carefully lay on the bed, wrapped his arms around the woman's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
"The smell is too strong, go and wash it off."
A woman's voice suddenly sounded.
Li Nanke buried his head in the back of the woman's neck, took a deep breath of the fragrance and muttered: "It's so late, let's just sleep together. I'm really tired after running around all day."
When her husband complained that he was tired, Luo Qianqiu stopped forcing him.
Li Nanke put his hand into the other party's underwear and groped around, sighing: "I don't know what I'm doing running around all day. I'll have a showdown with the impostor tomorrow."
Luo Qianqiu ignored the man's mischievous behavior and said softly: "If you are tired, just rest."
"Take a break, I'm afraid the end will come once you take a break."
"Is there really an apocalypse?"
"Yes, there must be."
Li Nanke expressed his inner worries, "I always feel like the sky is falling, I always feel like this red rain is coming for me, I always feel like we are all going to die..."
These similar words were once said by Li Nanke to Leng Xinnan.
The woman just comforted him to cherish the moment.
But no matter how much you cherish the present moment, you will still worry that life will become short.
Li Nanke is an ambitious man.
His ambition is not to be an emperor or a savior, but to enjoy a long and carefree life with his wives.
If one day the red rain really swallows the world and everyone turns into monsters, that is something he cannot accept. So he can only try his best to prevent this from happening.
But how to stop it, he had no specific plan, he could only take it one step at a time.
Whether it's the emperor or the underworld, they can always dig out some truth.
"There's nothing wrong with them all dying. People are going to die after all."
Luo Qianqiu's quiet road.
Li Nanke laughed at himself, "Having said that, I am actually very afraid of death. I am also afraid that my beautiful daughters-in-law will grow old slowly."
"That's why men like younger women."
"Yes, me too."
Li Nanke admitted his feelings very generously.
But then, he hugged the woman tightly and said, "But I also enjoy growing old slowly with my wife, watching the sunrise and sunset together, and enjoying family happiness together."
"Glib tongue."
"That's for sure. After all, my wife knows best whether her mouth is oily or her tongue is slippery."
"roll."
"Have sex?"
"..."
Luo Qianqiu was too lazy to argue with the other party, so she closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
The room became quiet.
After a long time, Li Nanke said softly: "Although I despise the Supreme Emperor's behavior of seeking immortality, if it were me, I would not refuse the temptation of immortality.
Life is too short, and there will be too many regrets in just a few decades. I think if there is real immortality, even if I live a few hundred years longer, I would be willing to give it a try."
"The natural laws of heaven are like this, why bother to violate them?"
Luo Qianqiu sighed.
Li Nanke snorted coldly: "The bullshit laws of heaven have quickly turned into a mythical world. Living for a few hundred more years is not too much."
Listening to her husband's resentment and unwillingness, Luo Qianqiu smiled and suddenly asked: "If there is real immortality, but many innocent people have to be sacrificed, will you still choose it?"
Li Nanke fell silent.
The woman's hypothesis may turn out to be true.
The world of Red Rain is full of weirdness. If you really find the magic of immortality, you will definitely have to pay something.
Even Li Nanke suspected that the previous red rain was caused by the Supreme Emperor.
The purpose is to sacrifice more people in exchange for immortality.
"Let's see then."
Li Nanke did not give any words of guarantee. After all, he was not a saint, and it was difficult to maintain his conscience in the face of such a great temptation of immortality.
People, after all, have a dark and selfish side.
"It's rare to take my wife out tonight." Realizing that the topic at the moment was too heavy, Luo Qianqiu changed the topic.
But this new topic smells of jealousy.
Li Nanke said: "Didn't you say before that you would often take your mistress out to cultivate relationships?"
"Have you cultivated it yet?"
"It's not bad. The master's wife lost her temper tonight, so I took an injection to calm down."
"Where did you get the injection?"
"Just on the street, I found a secluded alley."
"..." Luo Qianqiu was speechless. After being silent, Shao Qing half mocked and half laughed, "You guys are really interested."
"Let's try it another day."
"I want face."
"Just cover your face for your husband."
"roll!"
Luo Qianqiu kicked the man backward.
…
The next day, the sky was gloomy and it was raining lightly.
Li Nanke entered the palace early in the morning to meet the Empress Dowager.
But when he arrived at the dormitory, the maid Xiaolan stopped him again and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the Empress Dowager is unwell and it is inconvenient to see guests."
"Can you please let me know, I have something important to report."
"this……"
"Miss Xiaolan, if it's really important, I'll trouble you." Li Nanke handed over.
"Oh well."
Xiaolan had no choice but to turn around and go to the dormitory to report.
After all, it is Li Nanke who is handsome, and any other girl would not compromise.
After a while, Xiaolan walked out and saluted Li Nanke, "Master Li, the Empress Dowager has agreed to see you. Come in with me."
"Thank you, Miss Xiaolan."
Li Nanke quickly thanked him.
The two of them came to the bedroom that was filled with the fragrance of medicine. The "Empress Dowager" was leaning on the luxurious bed, her face was indeed a little gloomy and no longer as bright as before.
"I've met the Queen Mother."
Li Nanke still couldn't kneel down.
"Tell me what Mr. Li wants to report to the Ai family." The Empress Dowager said calmly.
Li Nanke did not speak, but glanced at the three maids in the room.
The woman on the couch frowned and saw a smile on Li Nanke's lips that made her extremely uncomfortable. She hesitated for a few seconds and waved her hand to the maids to get down.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
When there were only two people left in the room, "The Empress Dowager" asked.
Li Nanke looked around with his clairvoyance eyes to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he pulled up a chair in front of the Empress Dowager and sat on it leisurely.
"Master Li, what do you mean?"
The face of the woman on the couch darkened.
Li Nanke crossed his legs and sneered: "Okay, stop pretending, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. What is your purpose of lurking in the palace?"
