Shengjing Noble

Chapter 394 You Sleep on the Floor

"Yes, my Lord. Long time no see."

Seeing the two people greeting each other, Su Lanyin winked at A'mo, ordering him to come over and push the cart, and then she took the opportunity to slip away.

……

Finally it was nightfall.

Su Lanyin was tired after a long day and was about to fall asleep when she heard footsteps at the door, so she immediately became alert.

Could it be an assassin sent by the prince?

Just as I thought of this, I heard a knock on the door.

Su Lanyin’s inner thoughts: This assassin is quite polite. He knows to knock on the door before entering.

The next second, a familiar voice rang out: "Su Lanyin, come out. I have something to tell you."

It’s Fu Wuyang.

Why is this bastard still haunting me?

She was almost dying of sleep, but he still came to disturb her. He really had no sense of boundaries at all.

But even though I was reluctant in my heart, I still had to be careful on the surface.

She had to get up and open the door.

After all, ignoring the prince is considered as insubordination, and she doesn't want to be caught.

When he opened the door, he saw Fu Wuyang standing at the door in a black robe. The lanterns on the corridor emitted a dim light, shining on him, making him look hazy and handsome.

Su Lanyin asked, "Is there anything wrong, my lord?"

Fu Wuyang frowned: "If nothing happens, can't I come to you?"

"I'm sleepy and need to rest."

"It just so happens that I am also sleepy."

As he said that, he pushed her aside and walked inside, just like he was walking into his own home.

Su Lanyin wanted to curse but was afraid of disturbing Lu Wanjun and Su Shengyan next door, so she could only close the door in frustration, fearing that others would see her and she would not be able to explain herself clearly.

Fu Wuyang walked to the table and sat down, pouring himself tea leisurely, and then looked disdainful.

"The tea in this posthouse is too bad to drink. I must tell the postmasters about this tomorrow!"

Su Lanyin crossed her arms and walked over to look down at him: "Your Highness, what on earth do you want so late at night? If you have nothing to do, can you please not disturb my sleep time?"

"I am here to protect you. I hope you don't gossip." Fu Wuyang put down the teacup and said seriously.

"Protect me? Your Majesty, let's not talk about the guards I have arranged to keep watch at night. I am also skilled in martial arts and will not be harmed easily. So you can go back without worry. As for your kindness, I appreciate it. Please take it."

Su Lanyin pointed at the door with a sincere attitude.

"How can that be? How can that rabble compare to my martial arts prowess? I am worried about them guarding me."

"what about me?"

"Although you are good at martial arts, you still need to sleep, and you have to be nervous and restless. With me here, you can relax a lot."

"Your Majesty, there is really no need for that! You are the high and mighty King Xiaoyao, how can a subject like you do this?"

"Actually, I am not going to work for you for free."

Hearing that he had conditions, Su Lanyin was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

I knew this guy wasn't that kind-hearted. He would never do anything without benefits.

"It doesn't matter. I don't really want any labor."

"I heard that you were ambushed on the road today. It seems that the assassins were sent by the prince, right?"

"So what?"

"How do you know there won't be another wave of assassins tonight? What if there are assassins every day in the future? No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you can't withstand such a constant stream of assassinations, right?"

"I……"

He was right; the situation seemed very unfavorable to her.

"What do you want?"

"Fu Wuyang's assassination target is not only you, but also me. If you fight alone, you will be killed sooner or later. But if we join forces, we may be able to escape unscathed."

Hearing him say this, Su Lanyin fell into deep thought.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then asked, "How does the prince want to join forces?"

"From today on, you and I will live together."

"What? This won't work!"

"It doesn't matter if there is one? It's not like we haven't lived together before."

"But that was to help us get on with our journey. We pretended to be a couple. After all, there were two rooms in one house, and we slept in separate beds. Now there's only one bed in such a small room. How are we going to sleep?"

"Besides, my mother and brother are here. What will they think if we sleep together? If my brother knew, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his wheelchair!"

Fu Wuyang teased: "That's great, he can jump up which means his legs have recovered, you should thank me."

"Could you please be more serious?"

"Why is this king not serious?"

"You...I don't agree anyway!"

"What if your mother and brother agree?"

"Don't come here and disturb them!"

"Don't worry. In fact, I have already informed Lu Wanjun and Su Shengyan before coming here, and they both agree."

"impossible!"

Su Lanyin didn't believe it. How could her mother and brother agree to such an astonishing request?

"How is it impossible? I just said there would be more assassins coming and I would personally protect your safety, and they agreed."

"So simple?"

"correct."

Su Lanyin was speechless. Her brother and mother were so generous!

She actually let a fourteen-year-old girl like herself live in the same room with a man like King Xiaoyao, and she wasn't afraid that it would get out and ruin her reputation.

She said angrily, "That's too much. You don't even consider my reputation!"

"Your mother said that reputation is worthless compared to your life. Oh, and your brother said that I am the King of Freedom after all, and I will definitely not look down on a young girl like you, so he is relieved."

Su Lanyin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She covered her chest and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

"I'm really convinced!" she gritted her teeth.

Seeing that she did not continue to object, Fu Wuyang stood up, walked over, bolted the door, and placed a stool next to the door.

Whenever the door is pushed open, it will hit the stool and make a noise.

In this way, people sleeping in the house will notice anything unusual at the first time.

In addition, there are tea cups placed by the window, and opening the window will also knock the tea cups down. When the porcelain breaks, it will be easier to hear.

The next step is to solve the problem of sleeping.

Looking at that narrow and small bed, two people would definitely have to squeeze together to sleep.

After all, they are a single man and a single woman, and cannot really sleep in the same bed.

Fu Wuyang took out a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor. Seeing this, Su Lanyin nodded with satisfaction.

"My Lord, I thought you weren't as gentle and considerate as the Seventh Lord. I didn't realize you're quite good at taking care of others."

Fu Wuyang paused as he was about to make the bed and stood up from the ground: "Who shall I take care of?"

"its me."

"Really?" The man raised his eyebrows.

Su Lanyin nodded: "Yes, you are a pampered prince, but you are willing to give me your bed and sleep on the floor yourself. It's really..."

She was interrupted before she could finish her praise.

"Wait a minute, how can this king sleep here?"

"what???"

Three question marks appeared above Su Lanyin’s head.

Fu Wuyang pointed to the bedding on the ground in a serious tone: "You, sleep on the ground, come here and make your own bed."

Damn that little girl, she dared to compare him with that weakling Lao Qi, that's outrageous!
