Not far away, Wang Li watched the majestic and wonderful scene quietly, expressionless.
The colorful fireworks reflected his handsome face in different colors, but could not reflect his thoughts.
Jun An on the side snorted, but Eunuch Shao took out his handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and muttered, "Why is your lord suffering such a hard life, these should belong to our lord."
The sound of fireworks covered Eunuch Shao's voice, but he didn't know if King Li could hear it.
He remained silent, with no emotion on his face, just quietly watching the scenes in front of him, as if staying out of the way, his dark eyes were like stagnant water on an ice pool, sinking.
But whether he really stays out of it and doesn't care at all, only he knows.
Among the water pavilions.
Su Lingxiao's eyes widened in surprise, "What did you say?"
The corner of Gu Qianxue's mouth twitched, "Although I have a thick skin, I will still be embarrassed if you behave like this."
Su Lingxiao kept silent.
"You... don't agree?" Gu Qianxue said.
Su Lingxiao looked up at the Kongming Lantern in the sky, "I am very happy today, and I will miss it forever."
Gu Qianxue said, "Hey Su Lingxiao, don't you want me? Could it be that you're empathizing with someone else, or do you have some other hypocritical reason?"
"..." Su Lingxiao sighed, "Marshal Zhao's matter has not been resolved yet, but you are staying because of my birthday, and the prince will leave in a day. If you don't arrive in Guandong City in advance, Marshal Zhao will have nothing to do with you until the Prince's Day case." There is room for turning around. I think it is unfair to Marshal Zhao to talk about other things before this matter."
"..." Gu Qianxue's cheeks were burning red, "Oh... I see."
After arguing for a long time, it turned out that his son and daughter had grown in love.
Seeing Gu Qianxue lowered her head like a wilted eggplant, Su Lingxiao frowned, sighed, and stretched out her hands to embrace the beloved woman in front of her.
"Wow!"
The crowd on the sidelines cheered in a low voice, even if they were not optimistic about Su Lingxiao's Xiangju and Xiangqi, in such a sensational situation, they hoped that the lovers would get married in the end.
Not far away, King Li grasped the trunk of the tree with a firm grip, and a piece of the sturdy tree was abruptly torn off.
"My lord..." Eunuch Shao hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said, "My lord, let's take the princess away. The lord must know clearly that the princess likes the lord, and he is just grateful to Mr. Ling Xiao!"
Jun An secretly rolled his eyes, but did not speak.
King Li crushed the tree trunk, "Isn't it only Qianxue herself who is grateful?"
"Ah?" Eunuch Shao was taken aback.
"Let's go." As he said, he turned and left without thinking about it.
Among the water pavilions.
Gu Qianxue leaned gently on Su Lingxiao's body, smelled the medicine box on his body, slowly closed her eyes, and told herself that after experiencing the baptism of a scumbag, she now found a safe and warm harbor, and she wanted to be content because of him. Opportunities are also opportunities for yourself.
Tears welled up in Yulian and Yucui's eyes, and they couldn't help covering their mouths, "Princess..."
Gu Qianxue originally thought that tonight would be destined to be a restless night, and even she was ready... to dedicate her life, but unfortunately, after embracing for a while, Su Lingxiao gently pushed her away, "We set off tomorrow." whispered .
Gu Qianxue raised her head in surprise, "Tomorrow? Well, tomorrow is the day to tell the outside world that I will travel with you, but what about Xiangju and Xiangqi? They will report my whereabouts to the emperor."
Su Lingxiao lowered his eyes, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry about this, I have arrangements."
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Okay."
She has 100% trust in Su Lingxiao, even she herself admits that she relies on him.
"It's getting late, I'll ask Chuyan to take you back, bid farewell to your family, and leave tomorrow." Su Lingxiao said.
"Okay," Qianxue agreed with a smile, "That's all for today, anyway, we'll have a long time to come."
"… Um."
Just when Su Lingxiao thought that Gu Qianxue turned around and was about to leave, she turned her head suddenly, jumped up and kissed his forehead, "Happy birthday, I wish you have today every year, every year you have today, good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan. After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away.
Su Lingxiao looked at his receding back and laughed, "Fortunately, Donghai's longevity is better than Nanshan's? I just want 30 more years of life, but unfortunately, I'm afraid the King of Hades won't give it to me."
Gu Qianxue left, took two maids and two court ladies, and ran back to pack her luggage.
On the other side, Su Lingxiao slowly walked out of the water pavilion, walking all the way, tilting his head to admire the Kongming lanterns that drifted farther and farther away.
The fireworks were over, the Kongming lanterns flew away, and the wishing boat gradually sank.
Su Lingxiao looked at the slender figure going away, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the skirt of his heart, it didn't hurt, but he just felt that his chest was empty and his heart was gone.
Without her, the whole world is dark.
However, it is necessary to leave.
When Su Lingxiao walked out of the water pavilion and climbed onto the ground from the bridge, the dark guard stepped forward and whispered.
Su Lingxiao waited, nodded slightly, and then looked in one direction, "He is also a fool." After a pause, he slowly added, "Same as her."
Chuyan sent Gu Qianxue and others to Gu Shangshu's mansion before turning around and leaving.
"Tomorrow, I will accompany Mr. Su on a trip. If you are willing to follow, you can follow, and if you don't, you can stay in the mansion." Gu Qianxue said.
The four were startled, because the news was so sudden.
Gu Qianxue thought to herself—it wasn't sudden, it was because I didn't tell you before. Nonsense, if I had said it earlier, wouldn’t the two little bitches Xiangju and Xiangqi have given it to the emperor and given him time to stop him
Xiangju said, "Why is the princess in such a hurry?"
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that Mr. Su is in a hurry. I was in the water pavilion just now, and I asked him what birthday gift he wanted, and the gift he asked for was to accompany him on a trip."
Xiangqi asked, "Where are you going for a trip?"
Qian Xue said, "I don't know either, he just said that he would not leave Nanyue Country, it is a good place with mountains and rivers."
Xiangju wanted to say something again, but Yucui scolded, "Your palace is so unruly? Is the princess the master or are you the master? Does the master need your approval for where to go?"
Gu Qianxue clapped her hands in her heart, Yucui is so good, Miss Ben likes you. But for the sake of the scene, I have to say, "Yu Cui don't do this, Xiang Ju and Xiang Qi also care about me."
Yulian had long had an opinion on the two of them, but now she is also angry, "Heh, after coming out of the palace, I really thought I was the master, wasn't I just a slave?"
"You..." Xiangqi wanted to scold, but was stopped by Xiangju, and the two of them remained silent in the end.
"I'm going to the Peony Courtyard, please be good and don't quarrel, we are all good sisters." After a few words of reassurance, Gu Qianxue quickly walked towards the Peony Courtyard.
It was already late at night, and Gu Shangshu and Mrs. Zhao had already rested, but Gu Qianxue still sent someone to drag Gu Shangshu out of the bed because she had something important to explain.
