“Exactly what happened?” Such sentence escaping between his gritted teeth, Lou Che’s eyes remains intently locked onto Gui Wan, didn’t think the eunuch outfit under her outer robe actually has a teared opening from the back of her neck to her back, on her fair slender neck, there is also a very suspicious red mark, uncontrollably, his heart once again gives rise to a monstrous rage.
In direct confrontation with his forceful imposing manner, Gui Wan’s heart is hit with a disaster, the bizarre happenings of today, the threat received by Zheng Liu, definitely cannot tell Lou Che of this, but how is she to explain all this then? Unable to bring herself to say anything, she leans her upper body, nestling against Lou Che, both arms wrapping around Lou Che’s neck, with a sorrowful and disheartened tone: “So fierce ah, I’m very tired, can you not force me?”
Lou Che’s heart throbs, wrapping his arms around her, fighting back the urge to interrogate her, his pitch black eyes showing a look of difficulty right now, in the end, he could only lightly sound a sigh, tightly hugging the person in his arms, the overflowing anger from before has also turned into a waves after waves of tenderness, deep down he still does not feel resigned, hatefully speaking in a low tone: “I will temporarily let it go today, but this matter, I must know.” Exactly who, dared to touch his, Lou Che’s wife, a sharp look flashes past his eyes, killing intent sweeping past.
Right within his arms, she could still feel the chill hit her body, Gui Wan shrinks back a little, softly answering: “Once it is time, I will definitely tell you.”
Towards this answer, Lou Che was not satisfied, still wanting to ask again, but sees Gui Wan’s tired face filled with hesitation. He picks up the outer robe and covers her body with it, covering that partly hidden, partly visible icy jade-like skin, lifting her body up, he coldly orders De Yu who was stood aside with his head bowed the entire time: “Go prepare the carriage.”
De Yu raises his eyes, clearly sensing Lou Che’s disgruntled mood, he wanted to take a look at Gui Wan, but was forced to retreat by the sharp and cold air surrounding Lou Che, not daring to say anything, he quickly accepts his orders and hurriedly leaves.
“Husband, many thanks for tolerating my wilfulness.” Chuckling as she quips, Gui Wan’s eyelids drops, serenely hiding within his warmth.
Only after hearing those words, did Lou Che’s expression calm down, revealing a warm smile, remaining silent, reluctant to leave this moment of tranquillity and warmth, slowly walking towards the less used palace path.
“Husband, do you know how the current Emperor managed to obtain the throne back then?” Gui Wan asks, seeming to have suddenly thought of this.
“It was because the Crown Prince passed away that year, and amongst the princes, the sixth prince was most benevolent, modest and courteous, extremely popular amongst the common people, that is why he was chosen out of all the princes, taking over the dragon throne.” Leisurely speaking of the contention for the throne back then, a calm tone just like he is having a casual family conversation.
Benevolent, modest and courteous? Hearing such terms sure feels slightly beyond logic and above reasoning, Gui Wan secretly laments, continuing to ask: “In Husband’s eyes, what kind of a person is the current Son of Heaven?”
Lou Che’s steps comes to a sudden halt, standing amongst the palace path in surprise, his expression turning into a slight frown, “Why is your every sentence today asking about him?” Thinking of her only asking and mentioning another person today, his heart once again gives rise to displeasure.
“I am only curious.” Resting her head against Lou Che’s chest, Gui Wan slowly opens her star-like eyes, and sees the curled up moon, her mind deluded by the sight, softly asking, “Husband, if one day, I bring to you endless disasters, will you or will you not get mad?”
The entire earth suddenly goes quiet, the palace maids and eunuchs on the palace path dared not to come close, only one slender figure holding someone walks under the moonlight, the quiet and solemn face carries a trace of faint smile like that of the spring breeze brushing against a willow tree, gently pressing together those thin lips, not saying anything.
Just when Gui Wan thought he would not answer, and had just closed her eyes again, Lou Che’s deep and pleasant voice sounds through the night sky: “Bring me disaster? I have yet to come across an unsolvable disaster in this lifetime, not to mention……” Lowering his voice, he holds Gui Wan close, leaning in towards her ear, his cheek plastered to her cheek, containing his laughter as he says, “For you, I will gladly endure all hardships.”
