You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 342 Chu Bai: Xiao Yan, you despicable villain!

Lin Zhaoyue tried to pull her arm free, but he held it tightly.

"I do not……"

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yan held the back of her head and covered her red lips with his perfectly shaped thin lips, blocking the words from her mouth.

Having just drunk some pear and wolfberry sweetened water, his lips and teeth had a hint of sweetness.

Lin Zhaoyue reacted and tried to push him away, but he let her go, and lazily lay back down, saying calmly:

"Remember to close the door when you go out."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The kiss just now was so fast that Lin Zhaoyue thought it was just her illusion.

She gritted her teeth, not caring whether he was going to sleep or not, and said:

"Xiao Yan, are you sick with some disease that will kill you if you don't get close to your family?"

Xiao Yun opened his eyes, his expression showing a hint of fatigue, but he looked at her with interest as she became furious.

"You know this as well?"

Lin Zhaoyue: …

"Do you feel you've been wronged? Didn't Miss Lin just say that I'm the son of a true dragon and have a noble status? No matter what, I'm the one who's wronged!"

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were red and she was angry.

"Are you going to cry again?"

Lin Zhaoyue didn't say anything, but just stared at him fiercely with her red almond eyes.

Xiao Yan looked at her, was silent for a while, and said:

"I asked you to kiss me back?"

Lin Zhaoyue: …

"you sick!"

Having said that, she ignored him and angrily walked out of the door carrying the medicine box.

When Lin Zhaoyue came to the next yard, Doctor Tu saw her and said:

"girl."

"Doctor Tu, how is my father?"

Doctor Tu said seriously:

"Duke Lin was poisoned and tortured by those people. This is not good."

"Poison?"

Doctor Tu nodded and said:

"It's a poisonous insect that can paralyze a person's entire body and make them unable to speak. Tu hasn't found a way to cure it yet, so I guess we'll have to rely on Doctor Ning. Lord Lin hasn't rested yet, so you can go in and take a look."

Lin Zhaoyue went into the inner room, and when she saw Duke Lin lying on the bed, she couldn't control her tears.

"Father!"

The once majestic Duke Lin became so thin that he was just a skeleton, with swollen eyes and gray hair in just a few months.

Before she came in, Doctor Tu had already treated the other injuries on Duke Lin's body, and his body was now wrapped in gauze.

"Duke Lin's injuries have been treated. If the dressings are changed on time, he will recover within a month. However, this poison is really tricky."

Doctor Tu was talking nearby.

Lin Zhaoyue walked towards Duke Lin, holding back her tears, not wanting Duke Lin to worry about her at this moment.

Duke Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Zhaoyue was safe and sound. His originally numb eyes regained a bit of spirit, and he looked at Lin Zhaoyue with eagerness.

Although Xiao Yan had told him that his wife, Lin Wan, and Lin Qingchen were all living in peace, he was still worried.

Although Duke Lin could not move or speak, Lin Zhaoyue immediately understood the meaning in his eyes and said:

"Don't worry, Dad. Mother, sister, and fourth brother have all gone to the coast. They are all fine now. Don't worry. As for the real eldest brother, he is still alive. His name is Ning Yi. He works for the Third Prince and is very skilled in martial arts.

Big brother was picked up by my master when he was a child. Father should recognize my master. It is said that you were comrades in arms before. Her name is Ning Xi. "

When he heard the name Ning Xi, Duke Lin was stunned at first, and then he became excited and surprised.

Ning Xi, she is not dead!

Seeing her father's reaction, Lin Zhaoyue knew that he remembered his master and that he had a deep comradeship with his master.

She continued:

"Father, do you remember the child that Master adopted back then? He is my eldest brother."

Ning Xi's adopted child!

The medicine man?

Is that actually his child?

Some vague memories flashed through Duke Lin's mind. The child was like a savage and was wary of anyone except Ning Xi. He had been bared at by the child several times.

He was so young, but he was trained to be a medicine man. How much suffering did he suffer?

Duke Lin's eyes were red.

Before Lin Zhaoyue could say anything, she heard the voice of the guard coming from outside the door.

"Meet the Emperor!"

"See the Emperor..."

Lin Zhaoyue turned her head and saw Xiao Zhang coming in, dressed in a black robe with a gold dragon pattern.

She immediately stood up and saluted:

"See the Emperor."

Xiao Zhang looked at Lin Zhaoyue who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"Stand up, no need to be polite! You have saved the Third Prince from danger many times this time, and saved Concubine He. You have made great contributions in guarding Beiyang Pass. You will be rewarded according to your merits at the celebration banquet. If Zhao Zhao wants any reward, just let him know."

The emperor and her father were sworn brothers, and she and Xiao Ran were close friends. Since childhood, Xiao Zhang had called her Zhao Zhao.

Lin Zhaoyue bowed and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhang waved his hand, walked straight to the bedside of Duke Lin, looked down at the injured Duke Lin, and said:

"Third brother has suffered!"

Lin Zhaoyue was afraid that the emperor would think that his father was disrespectful to him, so he quickly stepped forward to explain:

"Your Majesty, my father has been poisoned. Now he can't move or speak. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Zhang nodded and said:

"I know. I'll have a word with your father. You go out first."

Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Duke Lin, who was unable to speak, with hesitation in her eyes.

She was wondering, in her current state, could her father really communicate with the emperor smoothly?

Xiao Zhang noticed the doubt in Lin Zhaoyue's eyes and said with a smile:

"I have known your father for ten years before you, so we have some tacit understanding. Zhao Zhao, please go out first!"

Lin Zhaoyue then bowed and left.

She could only wait outside the door while they talked.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know what they talked about, but when she went in again, her father looked more energetic than before. But when the emperor went out, Lin Zhaoyue found that his face didn't look so good, as if he was angry.

"Did Dad just piss off the Emperor?"

Duke Lin naturally could not respond to her, but his rolling eyes confirmed Lin Zhaoyue's guess.

That means my father really made the emperor angry.

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Lin Zhaoyue was chatting with Duke Lin about Ning Yi again. After talking about Ning Yi, she talked about herself and her master. She always reported good news but not bad news. What she was talking about this time were also some good things. She was a little tired by the second half of the night, but Duke Lin became more and more excited the more he listened.

Lin Zhaoyue had killed so many Northern Jue barbarians today that her physical strength had been almost exhausted. In addition, she had spent two hours on detoxification surgery on Ning Xi, which had also exhausted her mental strength.

She has been holding on for so long and it has reached her limit.

She yawned and said:

"Father, let's talk about other things later! I'm going to go see Master."

When Duke Lin heard her say that she was going to see Ning Xi, he blinked at her a few times.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't understand.

"Dad wants me to go quickly."

Duke Lin blinked a few more times.

The emperor must be accompanying Ning Xi right now, and she would disturb them if she went there.

After a long separation, he knew that Xiao Zhang didn't like to be disturbed at this moment.

Lin Zhaoyue paused for a moment and said:

"Father, if it's the case, blink once. If it's not the case, blink twice."

Duke Lin blinked twice.

Lin Zhaoyue remembered something and understood it.

In Ning Xi's room, Xiao Zhang sat beside her bed, holding her hand, and carefully looking at the face that was so familiar that it was engraved in his bones.

The eyes are complicated.

She lied to him for twenty years, so he should be angry, and he was extremely angry.

But compared to this little bit of anger, the joy of regaining what was lost can dilute everything.

He was glad that she was not really dead and that she would appear in his life again.

"Ning Xi, don't leave me this time, okay?"

……

The battle between An Guo and Bei Jue lasted until noon the next day.

Xiao Yan was dealing with a series of post-war issues on the city wall of Beiyang Pass when he suddenly heard someone shouting.

"Be on guard, be on guard, another large army is coming this way from the Northern Territory!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked over with caution. After a while, someone asked in confusion:

"Hey! That looks like the Golden Phoenix Flag of the Red Flame Nation, and the Black Eagle Flag of our An Nation!"

"They are not Northern Jue people. I saw the Marquis Xuanping."

"I saw it too. I also saw Master Pei..."

Xiao Yun looked up and saw that the allied forces were getting closer and closer.

It came faster than he thought.

Chu Bai was looking at Xiao Yun, who was standing on the city wall, wearing a black brocade robe and with an upright posture, and he was so angry that he almost exploded!

"Xiao Yan! You despicable villain!"
