Chapter 290 Discussing the Plan
As everyone expressed their opinions and discussions arose, the atmosphere in the room was like the oppressive feeling before a storm. It was so heavy that it seemed as if every inch of air had been frozen, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.
Suddenly, the expressions of the guards captain Luo Feng and Zhao Lin changed almost at the same moment. Their muscles tensed, like cheetahs that had sensed danger. They drew their swords and knives and shouted in unison, "Who is it? Get out here!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes shot towards the roof like sharp arrows.
Su Ran, dressed in black, looked like a night elf descending from the sky, gracefully and gracefully descending from the roof.
His silver hair gleamed with a cold and lonely luster in the dim light of the room. Although his face was as handsome as a carefully crafted work of art, it could not hide a bit of haggardness and fatigue, just like a flower hit by frost.
Su Ran stepped steadily into the house, bowing to everyone with both hands, and then said to Shen Shaodong with a sincere and earnest expression, "Sir Shen, I'm sorry. The Emperor strictly ordered me not to enter the County Lord's Mansion to visit Ah Li, but I was so worried about her safety that I had no choice but to resort to this unfavorable measure. I hope Sir Shen will be magnanimous and forgive me."
When Chuchun looked up and saw Su Ern, her face suddenly turned red with anger. Her pretty face was like a ripe apple, and her chest was heaving violently with anger.
She blurted out without hesitation, "Since the emperor has given the order, what are you still doing here? You've caused the young lady to be in this miserable coma, isn't that enough? If it weren't for you, how could the young lady have suffered such hardship!"
Her voice trembled slightly with anger, and crystal tears sparkled in her eyes. Her eyes were full of resentment and accusations towards Su Ran, as if she wanted to vent all the pain and worries of these days in these words.
When Chu Qiu saw this situation, he thought to himself that something was wrong and knew that it was not wise to conflict with Su Ran at this time.
She was a calm person, and she quickly reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Chuchun's clothes, her eyes revealing anxiety and suggestion, signaling her not to continue.
Chuchun also realized her impulsiveness in an instant, pursed her lips, and stopped talking immediately.
For a moment, the room fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes were all cast towards Shen Shaodong, quietly waiting for his decision, as if his words could determine the direction of the current situation.
Shen Shaodong stared at Su Ran and sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness and vicissitudes.
His expression was complex and difficult to discern, a mixture of love and worry for his daughter, and dissatisfaction and wariness towards Su Ran. He slowly said, "Your Excellency, we are sorry for not welcoming you. However, given the circumstances today, I'm afraid it's not convenient to entertain you! As subjects, how dare we disobey His Majesty's orders?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ran's eyes flashed with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan. He immediately said anxiously, "Master Shen, I heard everything you just said clearly. My Cang Yue Pavilion has branches in various countries. I have sent pigeons to order them to quickly investigate whether the 'Youmeng Fanhun Flower' is indeed real. Moreover, my Cang Yue Pavilion also has a famous doctor who can protect Ah Li's heart meridian! I came here uninvited this time with the sole intention of helping you, without any other selfish thoughts."
Shen Shaodong's brows were tightly furrowed, like a deep ravine, and his eyes were fixed on Su Ran, as if he was trying to penetrate his eyes and consider the truthfulness of his words.
The room was completely silent, with only the gentle breathing of the crowd to be heard. After a moment, Shen Shaodong slowly spoke, "So, what exactly are your conditions? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You wouldn't be so dedicated to helping us without a reason."
A bitter and helpless smile appeared on Su Ran's face, which seemed to tell of his inner pain and struggle.
His voice was low and sad, and he said slowly: "Master Shen, I have no other request, I just hope to go to Xiqi with you to protect Ah Li. I really can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm!
Over the years, I have been unable to rest day and night and have suffered a lot because of the guilt I felt towards A-Li.
If I could do something for Ah Li at the end of my life, and see her alive and kicking again before my eyes, even for just a moment, it would be the fulfillment of my last wish."
His eyes revealed deep regret and persistence, and his gaze was like a deep lake, which made people feel moved and sympathetic towards his words, as if they could feel the burning and helpless emotions deep in his heart.
