These words were so straightforward that they were almost a confession. Even though Meng Xing was a straight man, it was not difficult to hear the ambiguity in them that went beyond the ordinary relationship between king and minister.

But...Meng Xing blinked, pretending to be stupid, and said, "No need, it's better to plant flowers in the garden."

He took a step back, opened the distance between himself and Wen Rulan who was a little too close, and at the same time took his hand out of Wen Rulan's palm, changed the subject and said: "Prime Minister, I think the lanterns over there are quite beautiful, let's go have a look?"

Wen Rulan didn't agree immediately, but squinted her eyes, scrutinizing Meng Xing, trying to see whether the other party was really stupid or not.

It's a pity that due to the little emperor's previous reputation, he was not sure whether the other party was stupid or not.

There was no rush anyway, and the people around him couldn't escape, so Wen Rulan decided to take a step back. He returned to his normal expression and followed Meng Xing.

The two of them were swimming side by side at the lantern festival, and Meng Xing kept looking for opportunities to please Wen Rulan. The debuff had changed from the fifth level to the last level, and success was imminent.

It's just that this last layer is as stubborn as a dog's skin plaster. No matter how sweet Meng Xing says, it hangs stubbornly on his status bar.

Meng Xing was depressed alone in his heart. After trying all kinds of things to no avail, he could only put it aside and think of other ways.

Unknowingly, the two of them wandered around for an hour, looking at too many lanterns. The novelty at the beginning gradually disappeared, and Meng Xing's attention shifted to other places.

In addition to all kinds of tourists in the night market, there are all kinds of lanterns, and there are restaurants with lanterns hanging on the street that are still open late at night.In this row of restaurants, there is a restaurant that is very tall, with a full three-story height, and the carvings on the eaves are much more delicate than other restaurants. Compared with other restaurants in the surrounding area that are only two-story high, it is unavoidable to stand out from the crowd. as luxurious.

Meng Xing actually saw this restaurant from afar, and he passed by it a few times when he was strolling before, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there are countless modern buildings that are more luxurious than this.

It's just that when he approached this time, Meng Xing suddenly heard the laughter of men and women coming from the restaurant, so he couldn't help but look into the restaurant curiously.

Just these few glances suddenly aroused Wen Rulan's vigilance. He took a step forward, blocked Meng Xing's sight with his body, and took Meng Xing's hand and said, "Your Majesty, let's go shopping there."

Meng Xing was a little puzzled, but obediently followed Wen Rulan and turned in a direction.

However, before leaving, he secretly glanced back, and this time he understood the reason from several scantily clad women who happened to pass by the window of the restaurant.

This is not a restaurant at all, but the most famous brothel in Beijing that Meng Xing used to make up an excuse.

Excuses are just excuses. Meng Xing himself is quite clean, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced by the system to receive a first love experience service just because his mother was single.

Meng Xing had no intention of going to Tianxiang Tower, but he couldn't help but asked Wen Rulan, who was dragging him further away: "Prime Minister, is that Tianxiang Tower?"

Wen Rulan paused, turned around to look at Meng Xing, and said affirmatively, "Yes."

"Has the prime minister been there?" Meng Xing asked again.

"I went there for entertainment." Wen Rulan replied thoughtfully.

"Oh." Meng Xing's tone was normal, because he didn't think it was a big deal.Of course, an ancient man cannot be restrained by modern morality. Brothels were legal places of entertainment in this dynasty after all.

Furthermore, Wen Rulan didn't have to care about whether he went to brothels or not, and it didn't matter to him.

Wait, he still has to care. Meng Xing stared at the last layer of debuff that could not be removed under his status bar, and thought of a plan.

The word "oh" he had already uttered dragged on for a long time, and the long ending sound expressed emotions such as loss, loneliness, loneliness, and sadness.

Wen Rulan's heart moved and she quickly explained: "I didn't stay here overnight."

"That's why I called someone to accompany the bar." Meng Xing lowered his head, looking very depressed.

"Never." Wen Rulan denied again.

Meng Xing couldn't pretend anymore, raised his head, couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why?"

Wen Rulan looked at Meng Xing steadily. Under the bright lights, his eyes were still as dark as ink, like an abyss that cannot be illuminated by light. But at this moment, a person's shadow is reflected in the abyss, the only shadow.

"I don't know either, but now that I think about it, it's probably because they are not His Majesty." Wen Rulan replied softly in the night wind.

Meng Xing was stunned.

He suddenly thought of Wen Rulan's background. At the age of twenty-five, all her peers already had children to support her, but Wen Rulan was still unmarried.

In fact, Wen Rulan was not married in the previous world, but Meng Xing did not pay too much attention to this, because in modern times, there are many people who are not married at the age of twenty-five, but in this ancient background, it seems a bit unusual.

What caused this unusual situation was probably Wen Rulan's unreasonable obsession with herself.Meng Xing thought to himself.He finds it unbelievable and inexplicable, after all, he and Wen Rulan have never met in the past, and probably won't do so again in the future.

They met only because of the system, because of the tasks assigned by the system, nothing more.

So, where did Wen Rulan's obsession come from?Because of the so-called love at first sight?But it's not like falling in love with yourself at first sight every time, right?

There are many factors that influence the formation of a person's aesthetics, such as the environment in which he grew up and his childhood experiences. If it were slightly different, the final aesthetics might be completely different. It could be considered a coincidence that the previous Wen Rulan fell in love with her at first sight, but it would be too strange that this Wen Rulan would also fall in love with her at first sight.

After all, this Wen Rulan's character experience is different from that of Wen Rulan in the previous world. Except for the attribute of being a scum throughout the whole process, the two are more or less different in other aspects.

For example, the faint scar on Wen Rulan's arm that cannot be completely erased by the highly advanced medical technology of the interstellar era was caused by being bitten by his brother Wen Hongyan's dog when he was eight years old. This Wen Rulan does not have any scars on his arm, and it seems I don't hate dogs either.

Just as Meng Xing was thinking this, he suddenly heard a dog barking.

He looked towards the place where the barking of the dog was heard. It was the villa of a family. The owner of the villa had no idea what the dog was doing. It barked for no reason in the middle of the night.

When Meng Xing heard the dog barking, there was only doubt on his face, which was a normal reaction, but Wen Rulan suddenly frowned, with unconcealable disgust in his eyes.

Meng Xing was startled again.

"Prime Minister." He suddenly called to Wen Rulan.

When Wen Rulan turned her head and looked at Meng Xing, the disgust in his eyes subsided a little, but she still couldn't suppress it.

"Has the Prime Minister been bitten by a dog?" Meng Xing asked.

Wen Rulan was a little confused and didn't understand why Meng Xing asked, but he still shook his head and said, "No."

"But I don't think the prime minister likes dogs very much. Is there any reason?" Meng Xing asked again.

Hearing this, Wen Rulan frowned, he seemed to be stopped by this question, and after a while, he shook his head again: "No, I just don't like dogs, there is no reason."

No reason? No, he didn't remember the reason. Meng Xing thought in his heart that the Wen Rulan he met may have been the same Wen Rulan from beginning to end. The identity in front of him, or the character's experience, and even the world were just the same background.

The background may be different, but the person is always the same, with the same personality, the same disgust, and... the same paranoia.

This must not be explained by a coincidence of love at first sight, there must be some other reason.Due to the lack of information he knew, Meng Xing couldn't figure out the answer himself, so he questioned the system in his heart. After all, why he came here and why he met Wen Rulan was all thanks to this inexplicable system.

But the system pretended to be dead again, and was as stubborn as a bastard, refusing to answer Meng Xing's question.

Meng Xing refused to give up and was fighting with the system in his heart.

Wen Rulan frowned and looked around. They didn't pay attention to the direction when they were wandering around, and accidentally strayed away from the lantern festival where people gathered, and came to such a dark and remote alley without lights.

I don't know if it was because of the dog barking that sounded out of nowhere in the dark night, Wen Rulan felt a little upset for no reason.

Although the guards were standing guard not far away, Wen Rulan still didn't want to stay here anymore.

He took Meng Xing's hand and suggested, "Your Majesty, let's go back."

Meng Xing let out a "hmm" and sighed at the same time. In the brief tug-of-war between himself and the system, he declared failure.

The two were about to leave when the non-stop barking behind them was abruptly interrupted.

Before Meng Xing could realize what the interrupted barking meant, he suddenly felt a chill like a ray of light on his back. The heart seemed to be bound by a venomous snake, struggling and throbbing horribly under the snake's body.

This feeling was so familiar, so familiar that he had just experienced it not long ago.

At the same time that the system interface issued a danger warning, Meng Xing jerked his arm.

He used the clasping fingers to pull Wen Rulan into his arms. He hugged the other person with his arms, and at the same time turned his face so that his back was facing the direction of the coldness.

Along with the dull sound of flesh and blood being penetrated by a sharp blade, Wen Rulan's pupils narrowed.

He stared blankly at the man holding him in his arms, and Meng Xing also looked at Wen Rulan.

His brows were furrowed, and his seemingly immature appearance at the age of eighteen now inexplicably showed the coldness and strength unique to a mature man.

He pressed the back of Wen Rulan's head with his palm, and pressed Wen Rulan's forehead against his chest regardless of the other party's wishes.He held Wen Rulan tightly in his arms, and he barely let go until the guards who had reacted ran to them.

Then, the moment he let go of his hand, he swayed in place.

"Your Majesty!" Wen Rulan hurriedly supported Meng Xing, and when he touched the opponent's back, it was a sticky hand and an arrow handle that had been buried in the flesh and blood.

Meng Xing felt that his brain was a little drowsy. Although blood loss would cause the brain to be deprived of oxygen, it should not be so fast. He couldn't help but glance at his status bar and found that this time, in addition to the "continuous bleeding" debuff, there was also a green icon representing poisoning.

Wen Rulan also noticed this. He noticed that the blood on Meng Xing's back was not the usual bright red, but poisonous black.

"Go and get the man back!" He yelled at the guards, his uncontrollable voice lost his usual calmness.

The guards had already assigned a group of people to hunt down the assassin, but Wen Rulan still felt that it was not enough, because the arrow was poisoned. He didn't know what kind of poison it was, but it must be extremely dangerous and poisonous.

Although the imperial doctor may not be unable to detoxify it, but catching the arrow shooter and forcing him to find out the type of poison, the chances of detoxification are higher.

Thinking of this, Wen Rulan wanted to hand over Meng Xing, who was already standing unsteadily, to the guards, and personally lead someone to hunt him down.

But when he just made a move, he was stopped by Meng Xing.Meng Xing leaned on his shoulder, his lips were a little pale, but he held Wen Rulan tightly.

Just kidding, he managed to block the arrow for the opponent, Wen Rulan rushed after him hastily, if he was in danger again, wouldn't he have blocked it for nothing?

So Meng Xing squeezed Wen Rulan's hand tightly, not letting him go: "Prime Minister, don't chase."

There was a trace of hesitation on Wen Rulan's frightened and angry face. Of course he wanted to stay with Meng Xing, but he was worried that these subordinates would not do their job well and let the assassin escape.

And even if he stays, it won't help, he is not an imperial doctor, and he doesn't know how to treat. Sending Meng Xing back to the palace for treatment, other subordinates can do it, and there will be no change if he is one more.

Rationally, he knew that leading a team to hunt him down was the best choice for detoxifying Meng Xing.

Just when he was hesitating, Meng Xing suddenly showed a slight smile. His smile was weak because of the dwindling blood, but he still used his last strength to move his five fingers. Stretching into Wen Rulan's fingers, he looked at the interlocking fingers of the two, and said softly: "Prime Minister, you won't let me go, will you?"

Wen Rulan's pupils shrank, and he couldn't care less about being rational or irrational anymore, he just hugged her back tightly, suppressing the panic in his voice, and assured him with all his strength: "I won't let Your Majesty go! Absolutely not! "

Meng Xing felt relieved. He blinked his heavy eyelids and fell into a coma completely when the system's "HP 60 remaining" prompt sounded.
