Lu Yan seemed extremely tired and slept until dusk of the next day.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Shen Ruoyan sitting at the table with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Pulling his wife into his arms from behind, Lu Yan rested his chin on Shen Ruoyan's shoulder and murmured comfortably: "Ayan."

I don't know if it was because he had just woken up, but there was a bit of confusion in his voice, which made Shen Ruoyan's ears itch.

After moving her body, Shen Ruoyan asked with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Why are you back?"

The situation in the city is not stable yet, and Shen Ruoyan's thoughts are just speculations. Why did Lu Yan come back so recklessly?

Lu Yanhai tilted his head and pretended not to hear Shen Ruoyan's question.

Shen Ruoyan was so amused by his childish reaction that she didn't tense up and simply relaxed and lay in the man's arms.

Lu Yan hugged Shen Ruoyan, and from an angle she couldn't see, he showed a successful smile and said, "Because you are here."

Because she was here, Lu Yan couldn't help but want to give her a hug, and wanted to make sure with his own eyes that she was really okay, so even though he knew that the city was not peaceful yet, he still came over.

"I have arranged everything outside, A Yan doesn't need to worry." Lu Yan comforted, then took a deep breath, his brows and eyes filled with long-lost relief, and whispered, "I'm back."

Shen Ruoyan buried her face in Lu Yan's arms.

It's okay, Lu Yan is finally back.

The moment she saw Lu Yan appearing next to her, Shen Ruoyan relaxed from heart to body. As long as Lu Yan was there, she no longer had to suppress the panic in her heart and pretended to be calm and calm while dealing with something. thing.

Shen Ruoyan rested in Lu Yan's arms for a while, and then told her everything that had happened recently.

The more Lu Yan listened, the more he frowned.

Especially when she heard the confrontation between Shen Ruoyan and Sun Qiuwei, she unconsciously tightened her arms and held the person firmly in her arms.

"Lu Yan, if Sun Qiuwei really threatens you with the antidote and asks you to give up one between the common people and me, how will you choose." Shen Ruoyan raised her head, wanting to know what Lu Yan was thinking.

Lu Yan didn't hesitate for a moment and uttered one word: "You."

His tone was not serious, but his determined expression told Shen Ruoyan that he was not saying it casually just to make her happy.

"Then you're not afraid that people in the world will say that you are selfish and don't care about the lives of the people?" Shen Ruoyan asked.

As long as he lives in this world, it is definitely false to say that he doesn't care about other people's evaluations. What's more, Lu Yan is in a high position at a young age and has a bright future. Popular reputation is indispensable to him.

How could he choose himself without hesitation?

Lu Yan lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Shen Ruoyan's head, bumped it lightly as punishment, and explained: "Let me ask you, if a police officer is chasing a vicious criminal.

At the last moment, the criminal took a hostage and asked the policeman to kill the policeman's wife, otherwise he would kill the hostage.

The policeman did not choose to save the hostage, but chose to save his wife.

Would you blame him for that? "

Shen Ruoyan was silent, but shook her head.

"Those people have forgotten that the murderer is obviously a criminal, not a police officer.

Why should they blame the police?

But not to blame the murderer?

No one can decide the life or death of others for the sake of their own morality.

As long as you act upright and sit upright, why should you condescend and fear slander? "

After listening to Lu Yan's analysis, Shen Ruoyan felt much better.

"By the way, there is something serious that I need you to come forward." Shen Ruoyan sat up straight, pointed at the table and said to Lu Yan, "I asked people to go to the homes of those who were infected to do a survey and collect the food they had eaten before they became ill. Everything was recorded.”

Knowing that the disease was probably caused by food, Shen Ruoyan sent people to visit many homes, trying to find out which food was the problem?

Lu Yan looked down and saw that the table was covered with papers. The handwriting on each paper was obviously different. "Did you find anything?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head, "We are all ordinary people, and we all eat ordinary home-cooked food. I really don't see anything special about it."

Lu Yan stretched out his arm, passed through Shen Ruoyan's waist, and also picked up a piece of paper and read it.

It records three meals a day for a family.

Because many days have passed, it is impossible to recall it in detail. The records above are nothing more than ordinary food such as vegetables, meat, and rice. There is really nothing special about it.

"However, I have a guess." Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips, "I thought it would take some time to confirm it. Now that you are back, why not go there in person."

Shen Ruoyan revealed her plan to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yan nodded, unable to conceal his admiration in his narrow eyes.

He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed Shen Ruoyan on the forehead.

How could their Ayan be so capable?

In the prison of the government office, Sun Qiuwei was sitting on the ground. No one had given her food since she was imprisoned.

Pursing his chapped lips, Sun Qiuwei pinched his thigh hard, secretly reminding himself not to admit defeat.

As long as the antidote is in her hands, she still has a chance of winning.

When she heard from Shen Ruoyan that she had guessed the imperial concubine's plan very well, Sun Qiuwei panicked in her heart, but after being imprisoned, she calmed down.

Even if Shen Ruoyan guessed their plan, her thoughts were just guesses anyway.

Shen Ruoyan had no evidence at all.

As the saying goes, words are unfounded, as long as Sun Qiuwei doesn't admit it, Shen Ruoyan can't do anything to her.

Even if she died in prison this time, the imperial concubine's people would spread rumors among the people, saying that Shen Ruoyan deliberately put a big hat on her, Sun Qiuwei's head, because she was jealous of herself, giving her the title of jealous wife.

When she thought of Mr. Lu's deep disappointment when he looked at Shen Ruoyan, Sun Qiuwei couldn't help but smiled proudly.

She didn't know how weird this scene was, sitting alone in a dark cell, facing the air, smiling inexplicably.

"Gollum."

The sound in her stomach interrupted Shen Ruoyan's thoughts.

She touched her belly, which had long been deflated, and put away the smile on her face.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside.

Sun Qiuwei sat upright excitedly and shouted loudly: "Shen Ruoyan, you vicious woman, I came to take care of you on the orders of the Queen Mother, how could you do this to me!

By locking me in such a wretched place without giving me food or water, do you want to starve me to death?

I tell you, when I go out, I will definitely give you a copy in front of the Queen Mother and accuse you of despising the imperial power and disrespecting the Queen Mother.

If you know what I am doing, let me go right now! "
