Chapter 474: No Two Hearts
Chapter 474: No Two Hearts
Snow Wolf nodded. He only realized now that when he knew that the Eighth Princess was going to marry someone else, he felt sad because he didn't want her to marry someone else.
Bai Xuan hugged the snow wolf tightly, raised her head to look at Lu Rui, only to find that he was looking at them with a smile.
Eh?
This is how the same thing?
Lu Rui asked the others to go down, and only he, Xuelang and Baixuan were left there.
Bai Xuan helped Xuelang stand up, and Xuelang supported her with his arms half-covered behind her.
"Brother Emperor..."
Bai Xuan called out to him awkwardly.
Lu Rui said, "Originally, I just wanted Xuelang to understand my feelings, so I said I wanted to marry you off to someone else."
Bai Xuan widened her eyes and asked him accusingly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If you had said it earlier, it would have been exposed."
With Bai Xuan's personality of not being able to keep secrets, if you tell her, she will probably start chattering about it everywhere.
Bai Xuan smiled embarrassedly and raised her hand to hold Xuelang's arm.
The snow wolf did not struggle free this time.
Lu Rui said, "I'm going back to rest."
It means giving them time.
Bai Xuan jumped forward and said attentively: "My royal brother, are you tired? Then I will give you a massage."
"No need," Lu Rui glanced at the Snow Wolf who was still standing there, "Just have a good chat with the Snow Wolf."
He walked towards the bedroom alone.
......
General's Mansion.
General Gu discovered that Xixi was far more talented in martial arts than he had imagined.
Or maybe it was because she was young and just the right age to learn martial arts, so after I taught her some moves, she was able to remember them quickly.
Moreover, she would never complain of being tired, unlike Gu Qingyuan when she was a child, who would fish for three days and then dry the net for two days.
This made General Gu feel very relieved.
Xiao Nian is Lin Xinghe's child. After General Gu learned that Xiao Nian already knew her biological father, he invited Lin Weiwei over.
After seeing Weiwei Lin, Xiao Nian originally wanted to hide behind General Gu, but after knowing that this was her father's mother, she poked her head out again.
Lin Weiwei looked at Xiao Nian's face, which was somewhat similar to Lin Xinghe, and felt a little emotional, so he picked up Xiao Nian.
They sat aside and watched Xixi show her learning results, and Xixi raised her head with great pride.
I'm not the only one who gets into trouble.
After receiving the letter from the Holy Land, the empress in the palace frowned, wondering why the Holy Land would want to visit Daning Kingdom again at this time.
But then she thought about it, Bai Huang had passed away earlier, and it was Lu Rui who was in power now, and she understood.
This person should not be underestimated.
When he was a slave, he suffered so many things that ordinary people could not bear, but he survived.
Now he has gone from being a slave to being the ruler of a country. This is a huge change in status. Could it be that he is here to silence me?
However, for safety reasons, the Queen still called Gu Qingyuan to the palace.
After entering the palace, Gu Qingyuan came before the empress under the guidance of Eunuch Li.
Seeing that the Queen looked much more haggard, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The Queen waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired recently."
"Eunuch Li, please take a seat."
Afterwards, Eunuch Li brought a stool and asked Gu Qingyuan to sit down.
Eunuch Li left very consciously, leaving only the empress and Gu Qingyuan in the room.
After everyone was gone, the empress said to her anxiously, "News has come from the Holy Land, saying it will reach our Daning Kingdom soon."
She wanted to give Gu Qingyuan a reminder.
After all, she was the one who knew Green Ray's past.
What if that person came here to kill those who knew that he was once a slave?
Therefore, she had to prepare the Gu family in advance.
Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me, Your Majesty. However, I heard that the White Emperor has passed away, and that Lu Rui is now in power. So, will he be there too?"
"I'm talking about him. Be careful when you see him."
"cautious?"
Seeing her expression, the Queen pointed out, "Although you saved him back then, things are different now. It's inevitable that he feels disappointed and doesn't want others to know about his past."
Gu Qingyuan now understood that the Queen was worried that Lu Ruilai was here to silence her.
She said nonchalantly, "Actually, I've corresponded with Lu Rui before, and he even sent me a deerskin coat. So I believe he won't have second thoughts."
The Queen shook her head and said, "You'd better be careful."
After all, human hearts are the most unpredictable.
It would be fine if he really just wanted to come and reminisce about the past.
However, if the Holy Land now has evil ambitions, then their Daning Kingdom will not be a pushover.
Gu Qingyuan noticed that the Queen already had a lot of white hair on her head, which could not be covered at all.
She then expressed her concern for the Queen.
Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan left the palace.
When she returned home, she found a few colorful feathers on her window.
Gu Qingyuan picked it up and threw it away.
The little peacock who was watching secretly at the side saw her drop the colorful feathers she had carefully selected, flew in with its feathers standing on end, and stepped on the window.
His movements were very fast. Before Gu Qingyuan could see clearly, the little peacock had already jumped into the house.
Then, the little peacock transformed into a human form and complained, "What are you doing? Why did you throw away the feathers I gave you?"
Gu Qingyuan looked at the angry little peacock and raised an eyebrow and said, "So you gave it to me. I thought it was your fallen feathers."
The little peacock snorted proudly.
He was well taken care of during his long stay in the Gu family.
No more having to hang out with those stupid peacocks, and he can even eat human food.
Gu Qingyuan touched his head and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Can't I just pick it up?"
The little peacock was satisfied.
Gu Qingyuan casually clipped the feather she picked up into the book as a bookmark.
When some colorful feathers fell out of the feathers, she realized that the feathers could actually fade.
The little peacock looked around the room. Gu Qingyuan asked her, "What are you looking for?"
The little peacock withdrew his gaze and said in distress, "Did you lose the feather I gave you before?"
Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment and took out a duster made of peacock feathers from the cabinet.
"Here, they're all here."
The colorful peacock feathers look very beautiful.
She even used the feathers shed by the little peacocks every year to make a shuttlecock for Chunfen, and brought it to Xixi to play with her classmates at the academy.
The little peacock has long been accustomed to living here, but it refuses to come out during the molting season.
He still remembered that Gu Qingyuan had once called him a bald chicken.
After comforting the little peacock, Gu Qingyuan sent him back.
The little peacock smelled the scent of the fish and ran to Lingyu's room involuntarily.
