Gui Wan……
“Husband?” The sudden stop in hand movements alerts her, his expression unclear, Gui Wan stretches her neck, until she is able to look deep into those dark orbs, “What’s wrong?”
The softest spot of tenderness in his heart soars up, Lou Che grabs hold of her hands, “Gui Wan, you leave the Capital first, go up north.”
Hearing him speak like this, her heart is hit with a chill, Gui Wan dumbly stares at him, already understanding the meaning behind his words, can the situation no longer be delayed to this extent?
“No,” Persistent in refusing, “I am not leaving here.”
“Gui Wan, listen, you temporarily leave, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will still come pick you up. I heard there is a place in the northern region, is Qi Ling and the Nu Tribe’s trading land, calm and peaceful, is a great place to live in seclusion, you go wait three months for me there, in future we will be together day and night, is this not the life you wanted most?” Earnestly[1] persuading, Lou Che’s calm voice has the ability to thoroughly convince people.
Only Gui Wan, is not affected in the slightest, “No, I want to stay here.” Back then we agreed to share good fortune and misfortune alike……
“Gui Wan,” A stern voice escaping his lips, even Lou Che was stunned, when has he ever spoken to her with such authoritative sternness? “You staying here, I will definitely lose, only if you leave this land of rights and wrong, will I feel at ease.” Should he have to battle it out in future, the Prime Minister Estate besieged, he dares not imagine what the outcome will be like, his only concern is Gui Wan, only by keeping her protected, would he be able to take a plunge.
Shining eyes looking into his, other than the overflowing affection, she sees nothing else, Gui Wan’s nose is hit with a sour feeling, her insides spinning, only feeling like her heart is clogged with thousands of knots, also like insects gnawing at it, sensing a twist in her heart, tears surges up, rolling around in her eyes, but refuses to fall, she bites down on the bottom lip to the point of whitening, suddenly spotting red, her lip had been cut from the biting. Lips turning scarlet, such sight shocking Lou Che’s heart.
“Don’t cry, I naturally have a way to completely retreat, the secret passage in the imperial palace, has been personally passed down from the late Empress Dowager, even if it is the current Emperor, he will not be as familiar to it as I, three months, give me three months’ time……”
The windows in the room all tightly closed, Gui Wan stilly falls into a trance as she looks at Lou Che, thousands of feelings flying past in her heart, yet her mind is completely blank, heart wrenching in pain, never did she think she would have to face this type of scenario, until she is directly standing face to face with it right now, nor does she knows whether it is regret or hate in her heart.
“Lord Prime Minister, Madam, all has been prepared.” Lou Sheng’s voice sounds from outside the room, the two people inside the room remains silent.
Hand tightening, Gui Wan is pulled up by Lou Che, she panics, wanting to speak up, Lou Che’s face turns ashen as he takes the snow ferret fur cloak, tightly wrapping it around Gui Wan’s body, eyes containing severity that allows for no refusal.
