Listening to Ji Xuan's words, Yin Luzhu felt no joy at all, but only endless indifference.
She pulled her lips with difficulty, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xuan, "Wang Ji, just don't forget what you promised me."
A flash of coldness flashed in Ji Xuan's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Of course, when Crown Prince Yin needs you, I will offer the black-armored guard with both hands for you to command."
Yin Luzhu nodded, "If nothing happens, I will..."
"How is Ji Yanchen?"
Before Yin Luzhu could finish speaking, Ji Xuan suddenly asked.
She lowered her eyes to cover the emotions in her eyes, but Yin Luzhu still heard a hint of solemnity in her voice.
Raising his eyebrows and scanning Ji Xuan's face, Yin Luzhu said, "There is nothing wrong with him. I just don't know why he fell into Shi Yan's hands."
"Don't you know, Prince Yin?" Ji Xuan asked sarcastically.
She looked at Yin Luzhu with eyes full of sarcasm.
"Don't Prince Yin know the curse placed on men in my Yunjiang royal family?"
"What?"
"Prince Yin must be wondering why Ji Yanchen is the crown prince of Yunjiang, but everyone in Yunjiang has to listen to me in everything, and he is like a dispensable passerby?"
Ji Xuan's words made the last trace of warmth disappear from Yin Luzhu's face.
Ji Xuan seemed to have never noticed it, and still smiled with a sarcastic look on her face.
"The men born in the Yunjiang royal family are all infected with blood poison and cannot live beyond the age of thirty. Therefore, the women inherit the throne, and making the men the crown prince is just to build a protective shield for the women who will inherit the throne in the future.
It’s just a wall.”
Ji Xuan's words made Yin Luzhu's heart skip a beat.
She looked at Ji Xuan in disbelief. At this moment, her heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
"What...what did you say?"
Yin Luzhu heard his own voice drifting through the night breeze, with a hoarse sound that would break at the touch of a touch, echoing by the Qinghe Lake.
Seeing Yin Luzhu's shocked look, Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with joy.
"Tonight happens to be the day when Ji Yan is suffering from poison." Ji Xuan's voice came out in a calm and gentle voice, as if she was telling an extremely insignificant matter.
Her cold attitude made Yin Luzhu feel even more distressed for Ji Yanchen.
"He is your brother!"
"So what? This is his mission and what he should do. I don't owe him anything."
The moonlight shone down and fell on Ji Xuan's face, adding a bit of ruthlessness to her.
But she changed the topic, "Besides, my brother has been fighting against this fate for these years. He always thought that he could defeat destiny, so he studied pharmacology since he was a child. Unfortunately, he still fell short.
”
Yin Luzhu's hands hanging by his sides were squeezed tightly.
She never knew that this man could hide such a painful life under his fearless appearance.
"What's the point of falling short?"
After taking a deep breath to calm down his emotions, Yin Luzhu asked.
Ji Xuan got a little closer to Yin Luzhu, staring at her angry yet suppressed look, the smile on her face deepened.
"He went through thousands of difficulties and found the seven-leaf water chestnut flower from the Western Regions. After cultivating it for several years, he might be able to cure the blood poison. It's a pity that this seven-leaf water chestnut flower, despite being cared for by him, still became your bathing object.
."
"But my silly brother didn't tell you, because he was afraid that you would be angry and blame yourself. But Yin Luzhu, will you blame yourself?"
