The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 237 Gradually Crossing the Boundary...

what?
When Gan Tiantian heard what Han Rui said, his mind went blank for a moment.

he……

At this moment, Gan Tiantian's mind suddenly came up with the past that one night last year, Han Rui hid in Gan's house to avoid official errands, and was misunderstood by her as Jiang Yang's thief.

Then the scene that appeared immediately after that was him flying her up a tall tree to watch the Lantern Festival fireworks, running around on the rooftops of the city, wanting to see her embarrassing...

Then, when he was attacked on the mountain road that day, he tried his best to protect her with an enemy, and would rather risk himself than let her get hurt.

She knew that he was not an ordinary little prince, and she knew better that he was highly skilled. Not only could he be tall and strong, but his fighting power was amazing... But...

He told her that he had killed many people last night.

The tone is light, as if talking about other people's affairs...

"Han Rui..."

Han Rui's eyelids drooped, he looked down at the thin wood grains on the table, and heard a slightly sighing call from his ear.

Sure enough, she was disappointed.

"...You. Oh."

Contrary to Han Rui's expectation, Gan Tiantian did not show any expression of fear or alienation, but gently held his hand.

The girl's hands are warm, soft but powerful, with thin calluses on the knuckles, which are the inevitable traces left by grinding spices every day.The work of a perfumer sounds very elegant, and it is actually very elegant...but it is also a physical effort.

These hands are not as delicate and smooth as the catkins of those daughters whose ten fingers do not touch the spring water.

However, Han Rui was moved by the warmth and strength from her palm. Even though Gan Tiantian hadn't said anything, he had already felt her comfort.

"You did this to protect yourself and Brother Shaobai...and the Fang family."

"So don't be sad."

Han Rui raised his head and met Gan Tiantian's gentle eyes, his heart was agitated.

she……

I understand him.

He doesn't like killing.I don't like it at all.He tried his best to pretend to be calm, and told her these things, but in his heart...Really, he just wanted someone to tell him that you did nothing wrong.

Stripping away the magnificent title of "little prince", he is just a 13-year-old boy who is more powerful than most people.

He will also be confused, shaken, and question himself-is it really right to use so many lives to pave the way for his own life?

Especially those unarmed butlers and servants, watching them die under his hidden weapon in an instant, Han Rui didn't feel happy at all, only—disgusted.

I hate the smell of blood on my hands, and I hate the self who disregards human life. Is there really a difference between this kind of self and the Jiang family and stepmother?
In front of Fang Shaobai, he didn't want to show weakness, and to convince Fang Shaobai that "being kind to the enemy is cruel to himself" was actually giving him firm confidence.

"Tada."

Han Rui took a deep breath and smiled again.

"I am fine."

"It will be resolved soon."

"Tomorrow night is Qixi Festival... When I finish this matter, shall we go shopping at the night market?"

Tanabata?

Go to the night market?
Uh, is this... asking her out to play?

Gan Tiantian's cheeks were flushed, and it was the first time he heard Han Rui so tenderly ask her for advice and talk about dating.

In the past, his eldest and young master were very domineering, where to go, what to do, all in one word.Oh, sometimes you don't say anything at all, just act directly, such as flying to the tree with her in your arms, and you are not afraid of scaring her out of courage!
Is it her delusion?

The young man who was arrogant and vigorous when he first met, gradually peeled off that layer of barbed armor in front of her, revealing a soft and pure inside.

He no longer tightly wrapped and protected his real self, but became more gentle and frank, more...

close.

"it is good."

Gan Tiantian didn't shirk, and responded readily.

"We're going to the night market together tomorrow night, so please promise me, take care of yourself, okay?"

"Well, I promise you."

Han Rui held her hands backhandedly, and reluctantly left.

Though they didn't say it, they both seemed to realize that after this night...after he spoke out about what he had done and she accepted it, they had crossed the line of ordinary "good friends".

As for how it will develop in the future, he no longer wants to restrain himself, and she seems to be the same.

Last night, Han Rui sneaked into the other courtyard of Fang's family, and before the members of the Youlong gang could react, he killed all the living people in the courtyard with his powerful blows and invisible assassination arrows.The people in the other courtyard didn't even have time to issue warnings and shouts. With a few small movements, even the neighbors around them were not alarmed.

Then, according to the information given by Fang Shaochen, Han Rui discovered that huge fortune in the secret room.

There are more than a dozen large camphorwood boxes with copper corners, all of which are filled with silver ingots and gold bars, and the official logos on them have all been polished off.In addition, there are several boxes of exotic jewels. Based on Han Rui's vision of seeing jewels made in the palace since he was a child, he can be sure that these are high-quality goods. If they are circulated on the market, they can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there are hundreds of packets of precious spices hidden in the secret room, which are piled together in different categories.Because Han Rui has managed the incense shop left by his mother in recent years, he also knows the spice market. This batch of spices is more valuable than those jewels.The reason why these spices were not sold was probably for hoarding.

Due to the frequent turmoil in several small countries on the road to the Western Regions and the rampant pirates in the southeast and southeast, the supply of spices from foreign countries was very tight.Fang Zhengcai and his accomplices hoarded the plundered spices, probably because they wanted to wait until the price of the spices soared higher before selling them and making huge profits.

Han Rui naturally couldn't move such heavy objects by himself, but fortunately Fang Shaobai had a group of capable men.After Han Rui confirmed that there were no survivors in the house, he sent a signal to Fang Shaobai to let Fang Shaobai's people come in to move the goods.

In the end, he entered the house again, and set fire to the other courtyard.

"Well, next...it's your turn."

After leaving De Ling Xiangfang, Han Rui did not return to Fang's house or his own yard, but climbed over the city wall in the dark and hurried out of the city.

Before dawn, he wanted to silence Fang Zhengcai's family hiding outside the city in the same way.

"I have no way to go back..."

Standing on a tall tree outside the Fang family's summer residence, Han Rui concentrated his mind and made final preparations for his night attack.For some reason, such a sentence appeared in his mind... He has no right to be sentimental or sigh.Now that you have decided to do this, don't hesitate any longer.

"Tiantian, even if you can accept me being so unscrupulous..."

"But can you continue to watch me go?"

Maybe in the future I will become more cruel and ruthless. At that time, will you still look at me tenderly and comfort me like today?
