Ling Xiao felt very distressed.
"With so many wounds, how can it not hurt?"
Just now when he was applying medicine to Gu Zhi, he felt heartbroken when he saw the numerous wounds on Gu Zhi's body.
Although Gu Zhi was not a pampered young lady, she had never suffered any physical pain in the Bachelor's Mansion.
"sorry."
The more he thought about it, the more guilty Ling Xiao felt.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this injustice."
"I don't feel wronged." Gu Zhi shook his head slightly.
She stood up and looked at Ling Xiao.
"Since I have made an engagement with you, these are what I must go through. Wanwan told me a long time ago, and I am willing to accept it."
Seeing Ling Xiao feeling so guilty, Gu Zhi also felt uncomfortable.
She had indeed never been treated like this before, but her fear immediately disappeared when she saw Ling Xiao.
She watched Ling Xiao come in and quickly rush towards her. At that moment, Gu Zhi truly felt that the feeling Ling Xiao had in her heart could no longer be explained in a few words.
As long as Ling Xiao is here, Gu Zhi will be content.
"I wish I had arrived sooner."
No matter how Ren Guzhi tried to comfort him, Ling Xiao still felt very uncomfortable.
"But you are by my side now." Gu Zhi chuckled.
Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart and hugged Gu Zhi in his arms.
"From now on, I will be by your side year after year. I will protect you and never let you get hurt again." Ling Xiao solemnly promised Gu Zhi.
The wooden house was dimly lit by candlelight. Shangwu quickened her pace and got closer and closer.
She had been on the battlefield before, so climbing up the hills and over the ridges was not difficult for her. Liusu was almost exhausted, but Shangwu was still full of energy.
She didn't care about anything else now, she just wanted to figure out what happened.
Why did they see the bodies of Shen's army and the men in black on the way? Gu Zhi had been rescued by Ling Xiao, so who were those men in black
When Shang Wu came in, she happened to see Ling Xiao holding Gu Zhi.
The man she loved was, at this moment, holding another woman in his arms as if he were a treasure.
When Ling Xiao looked at Gu Zhishi, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Shang Wu had never seen Ling Xiao treat her like this before.
"you… "
Ling Xiao was so engrossed that he only reacted when Shang Wu spoke.
"What? Are you surprised to see me and Zhier together?" Ling Xiao turned to look at Shang Wu, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely cold.
Shang Wu's heart trembled.
"If I'm not mistaken, you came here in the middle of the night with the intention of holding my child hostage and forcing me to get engaged to you at the cost of her life. Am I right?"
Ling Xiao almost resisted the urge to go forward and hit Shang Wu.
Ling Xiao thought Shang Wu was just stupid for what she did before, but this time, Shang Wu had touched his bottom line.
Ling Xiao couldn't bear it.
"Do you really hate me so much?" Shang Wu was trembling all over.
Ling Xiao didn't say much, but she could see the look in his eyes when he looked at her.
It was clear that when Ling Xiao looked at Gu Zhi, his eyes were full of tenderness, but when it came to her, there was only resentment and... disgust in his eyes.
Shang Wu lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at Ling Xiao again.
"You teased me time and again in public, and I thought you were spoiled, so I put up with it. But now you've started to frame a child, do you think I'll still let you go?"
Ling Xiao snorted coldly.
"Why shouldn't I hate you? I wouldn't even touch my child, but you hurt her like this. I ask you, why shouldn't I hate you?"
"But you saved me on the battlefield. Why were you so nice to me and accepting me then? Why can't you be like that now?" Shang Wu didn't understand.
At that time, the two countries went to war, and she and Ling Xiao belonged to different camps. Shang Wu thought she was dead, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao saved her life.
He was willing to go against his will for her in the beginning, but why did Ling Xiao become a completely different person after she arrived in the capital, as if the love they once had for him had vanished into thin air
"I saved you because you are a woman and I am a gentleman." Ling Xiao said. "At that time, I respected your boldness and integrity and admired you from the bottom of my heart. If you didn't have any bad thoughts about me, we could still be friends."
"But it's impossible now." Ling Xiao's tone was cold, without any emotion in it.
"If you marry me, I can give you everything. From now on I will be a member of Dai Yue." Shang Wu almost begged.
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
What is she talking about!
How narrow-minded it is to betray your country for a man.
What a crazy woman.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to even look at Shang Wu any longer.
"I didn't bother you this time, not because I have any sympathy for you. You are a princess sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It's hard to explain to your father if you get into trouble on the land of Great Yue. But remember, this kind of thing can't happen again. Otherwise, I will never let you return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty alive."
"Pack your things quickly and go back to Northern Zhou in a few days."
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he picked up Gu Zhi and walked past Shang Wu.
Gu Zhi was a little embarrassed and struggled to stand up. However, Ling Xiao was too strong, and the harder she tried, the tighter he held her.
As a last resort, Gu Zhi had to obey and put his hand on Ling Xiao's neck.
Looking at the sweet and affectionate appearance of the two, Shang Wu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She turned around and watched Ling Xiao holding Gu Zhi walking further and further away.
"Ling Xiao."
Suddenly, Shang Wu called Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao frowned impatiently.
"Have you ever liked me even a little bit?"
This is Shangwu’s last hope.
She clutched her sleeves tightly, waiting for Ling Xiao's answer.
"No, I've never liked you, and I never will in the future. Just give up on this idea."
Ling Xiao answered without hesitation.
When he turned around, Shang Wu could no longer bear it and sat on the ground with her legs limp.
Ling Xiao and Gu Zhi did not return to the capital directly, but took a detour to Jinyun Town.
Although Gu Zhi was not seriously injured, Lu Luo was seriously injured. Hong Chang was worried and took Lu Luo to the town for treatment.
Arriving in the town, the two quickly went to the inn.
"How is it? Is Green Radish okay?"
Gu Zhi couldn't wait to ask Hong Chang.
Luoluo was injured because of her. If Luoluo hadn't fought desperately to protect her, she would probably be the one lying here now.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhi felt extremely guilty.
"It's okay, she's out of danger." Hong Chang said with a smile. "Besides, with me here, nothing can happen to Lu Luo."
Afterwards, Hong Chang advised Gu Zhi to rest first.
After coaxing Gu Zhi to sleep and sending his trusted men to protect him, Ling Xiao came out and went to the room where Lu Luo was.
Although Hong Chang said Luo Luo was fine, Ling Xiao noticed that Hong Chang's eyes were red and she had obviously been crying.
If Luoluo's injury was not serious, why would Hongchang cry
At that time, Hong Chang had just changed the medicine for the green ivy and was planning to get another basin of hot water.
"Young Master?!"
Hong Chang was shocked to see Ling Xiao.
"Tell me the truth, what is the current situation of Green Radish?"
The two stood at the end of the corridor.
Hong Chang lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat solemn.
