The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 199 Darling, let's continue what we didn't finish in the dream.

After giving instructions to Chen Jiu, Lu Zhan mounted his horse and rode away.

“Miss, please.” Chen Jiu stepped forward, his face solemn.

"Ah Jiu, why did my cousin do that?" Zhi Wan asked dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu looked up at her and opened his mouth to speak.

Why did the young master act that way? Doesn't Miss Biao have any idea?
The prince valued his cousin so much, yet she left without saying goodbye and ran away.

If it weren't for the Crown Prince's keen insight in instructing him to keep an eye on Miss Biao early on, she would probably have already left the capital by now.

How could the Crown Prince not be angry?
After grumbling to himself, Chen Jiu pointed to a large ship in front of him and said, "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. Please get on the ship quickly."

Zhiwan was taken aback. "Get on the boat? Where to?"

"The young master didn't say," Chen Jiu shook his head.

Zhi Wan forced herself to stay alert, at least she wouldn't be imprisoned in the Dali Temple jail.

It seems that her cousin was deliberately trying to scare her.

She followed Chen Jiu onto the boat.

“Miss, you must be tired. Please rest in the cabin for a while. The young master will come over later when he has finished dealing with his business.” Chen Jiu said, and then led Zhiwan to a cabin.

Zhiwan hadn't slept much for two nights, and she'd been up and about since early this morning; she was really exhausted.

She nodded.

Remembering something, he quickly asked, "By the way, where are Shuang'er and Zhao Dong?"

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll go find them in a bit," Chen Jiu said.

Zhiwan was finally relieved.

After closing the cabin door, she lay down and fell asleep.

She didn't wake up until evening.

The cabin was completely dark, with no lights on.

She fumbled to light a candle and prepared to go out, only to find the door locked from the outside, and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried.

She panicked immediately and pounded on the door, calling out, "Chen Jiu?"

"Is Miss Biao awake?" Chen Jiu's voice drifted through the door.

"Why did you lock me up?" Zhiwan questioned.

"It's the Crown Prince's idea," Chen Jiu sighed.

Zhiwan was taken aback; she should have expected this.

If it weren't for his cousin's instructions, even if Chen Jiu were incredibly bold, he wouldn't have dared to lock her up.

"Why did he lock me up?" Zhiwan said angrily.

Chen Jiu coughed lightly and replied, "The young master said that Miss is involved in a major case in the capital and needs your assistance in the investigation. I'm sorry to trouble Miss for now."

Zhiwan laughed in anger, "I'm involved in a serious case? That's completely fabricated, my cousin is framing me."

Chen Jiu felt bitter inside. Why did the young master make him play the villain?

When Miss Lu becomes the matriarch of the Lu family in the future, will she remember the humiliation she suffered today and kick him out of the house?
"Miss, I am just a servant, and I was only following orders." So please don't hold a grudge against him; blame the young master!
Zhiwan naturally knew that he was also acting under orders, and did not want to make things difficult for him, so she said, "Then let me out, and I promise I won't run away."

"This... I dare not make a decision without the young master's orders," Chen Jiu said with difficulty. "Are you hungry? I have already had someone prepare food for you, and I will bring it to you right away."

Zhiwan has no appetite right now.
She plopped down on the ground.

Not long after, the door was opened a crack, and a tray was pushed in.

Zhiwan reacted quickly and grabbed the door panel, but the door panel did not budge.

She leaned closer and saw that the door was locked with chains.

She angrily slammed the door shut.

Chen Jiu touched his nose, thinking to himself how close he had come to disaster. Luckily, he dodged in time, otherwise his nose would have been flattened.

He fawned, "Miss, you didn't eat lunch. Hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach. It's so late, the young master probably won't come, but he'll definitely come tomorrow morning. If you eat your fill and get some rest, you can deal with the young master tomorrow morning!"

Hehe, judging from the current situation, Miss Biao will definitely become the head mistress of the Lu family. At that time, the young master will probably have to watch his wife's face. As a servant, he has to be shrewd and flatter the future mistress first in order to have a good life.

Zhiwan paused for a moment, then realized that Chen Jiu's words made sense. She put the food on the table, ate, washed up with the water in the cabin, and then had a good sleep.

This time Chen Jiu didn't lie to her; Lu Zhan indeed arrived the next morning.

At that time, Zhiwan was still sleeping, but she woke up immediately when she heard the sound of chains.

She had just sat up when she saw the man walk in from outside the door.

Dressed in official robes, he exuded nobility and majesty.

"Awake?" the man asked slowly, but there was a hint of weariness between his brows.

Seeing this, Zhiwan's heart softened somewhat, but she quickly remembered how this man had coldly and ruthlessly locked her in the cabin, and she could no longer bear it. She jumped off the bed and angrily asked, "Why did you lock me up?"

Looking at the girl's angry expression, Lu Zhan subtly curled the corner of his lips and said calmly, "Didn't I say that you are involved in a serious case and need to assist in the investigation?"

Zhiwan was so angry she laughed, deciding to expose this man's hypocritical face. "Cousin, you really have such an air of authority! You weren't like this in your dream!"

Lu Zhan paused, loosened the collar of his official robe, pinned her against the wall, and asked in a low, husky voice, "Oh, what was I like in your dream?"

Zhiwan: "..."

At such close range, the cool scent of cedar wood emanating from the man clearly reached her nostrils, exactly the same scent she had smelled in her dream.

She was momentarily dazed, then suddenly realized what was happening. She reached out and pressed against the man's chest, saying righteously, "You...you shouldn't get so close to me, it's improper!"

Lu Zhan lowered his eyes and gazed at her flushed face.

In his dreams, he never saw her face clearly.

In reality, his sense of propriety made him restrain himself time and again, and he dared not do anything out of line, so he had never had the opportunity to see her so closely before.

He paused, then his long, slender fingers traced across the girl's face, as if he were tracing a work of art, gently and solemnly.

The touch under his fingers was just like in a dream, smooth and delicate, even more lubricating than the finest mutton-fat jade, making him unable to put it down.

His sudden touch sent shivers down Zhiwan's spine.

Realizing what had happened, she blushed deeply, feeling both fear and shame.

This is her cousin, whom she respects like an older brother.

But one day, he unexpectedly stepped out of her chaotic dream and into reality.

She was terrified and was about to push his hand away when he grabbed both of her hands and raised them above her head.

"Sweetie, let's continue what we didn't finish in the dream!" the man said in a hoarse voice, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The feeling of lips touching teeth is more real and better than in a dream.

While feeling bewildered, Zhiwan also shamefully became obsessed.

In her dream, she truly craved the feeling of being kissed by him.

Unexpectedly, when he kissed her in real life as her cousin, she didn't feel any rejection or aversion.

If her hands hadn't been held down, she would have instinctively wanted to wrap her arms around her cousin's neck.

She didn't come to her senses until the man pried open her teeth and pressed his lips against hers.

She shuddered.

What is she doing?
She couldn't help but feel disgusted with herself!

In her panic, she couldn't help but bite the man.
