Chapter 196: Gu Manshuang
"Che ......"
Lan Lingxi wanted to speak and stopped, about her and Xuanyuan Che, she didn't know what else to say, what to say. It seemed complicated, too complicated for her to articulate in a few words. It seemed very simple, so simple that he liked her.
The temperature outside has dropped so low that even if you have spiritual power to keep out the cold, you will feel cold. But in the courtyard, there is a different world, not only does not have the slightest coldness, but even a warmth rises in the heart.
In fact, there is no really strong person in this world, especially when the heart is hurt, no matter how thick the wall of her or his heart is, there is always a soft place that needs to be soothed.
Five days later, the Imperial Palace in the Nine Secluded Cities of the Void Underworld became silent again. That's right, it's silence, and that's because the Holy Emperor who had disappeared for a while had returned.
"Holy Emperor, Miss Gu asks to see you!"
In a flower-filled garden, a guard came in trembling.
The Saint Emperor's sword eyebrows frowned, his red lips moved slightly, and he said, "Let her wait!"
"Follow the Holy Emperor's orders!"
The guards retreated respectfully, but they were a little worried in their hearts. It has been two days since the Holy Emperor returned, but he has been standing in this position for the past two days without moving. Thinking that the direction facing their Saint Emperor was a courtyard that was blocked and absolutely belonged to the forbidden land, the guard secretly shook his head and secretly wondered, what was hidden in that courtyard?
Thinking too much about it, after exiting from the garden, the guards completely forgot about Miss Gu, who was still waiting for him to reply. But fortunately, Miss Gu herself didn't forget.
"You can see the Holy Emperor?"
Hearing the voice, the guard felt a thrill and knew that he was wrong, so his attitude became more respectful.
"Looking back on the eldest lady, the Holy Emperor is ......"
"He may need some more time!"
The guards pondered the wording. He would never dare to say the Holy Emperor's original words, because even he was a little unbearable, and it was only what their Holy Emperor could do to let such a beautiful and beautiful lady of the sky wait here for two days. The guards were even wondering, what was their Holy Emperor's heart made of? Why is it so hard?
After listening to the guard's words, Gu Manshuang's face stiffened slightly. She was tempted to rush in and ask him exactly how long he wanted her to wait. But the little sanity she had left told her that if she rushed in at this moment, everything she had done before would be undone.
Calm down, I must be calm! Gu Manshuang forced herself to calm down, and slowly retreated to the outer hall, her hands clasped tightly, as if this was the only way to give her enough concentration to continue waiting.
Either way, this man is ultimately hers, because in the entire Void Underworld, there is no one more suitable for him than her. It is precisely because of this cognition in her heart that Gu Manshuang has been able to wait patiently for many years, even if she is past the most marriageable age, she is indifferent.
In the garden, the Holy Emperor was still staring at the courtyard gate that made him fearful but eager to push it open. His instincts told him that there might be something he wanted to know, but the fear from the bottom of his heart made him hesitate to touch it. So he struggled between longing and fear, and for two whole days he stood still, not moving. It can be seen that the fear in the heart prevails.
Lately, my mind has always been a little confusing, and my body has always done some incredible things, such as......
Is it really because I have reached the marriageable age and did not get married?
The Holy Emperor suddenly began to think seriously about this question. If this is the case, does it mean that as soon as he gets married, all those uncontrollable, inexplicable feelings will disappear?
What did the guards say about it? The Holy Emperor thought about it seriously, but he just didn't think about it. Forget it, it shouldn't be a big deal.
As a result, Gu Manshuang, who was still secretly cheering herself up, didn't know that the Saint Emperor she was waiting for had already left the garden and returned to his own dormitory.
It wasn't until the daylight on the horizon was completely covered by the curtain of the night, and it wasn't until the spiritual lamps in the palace illuminated the luxurious but quaint halls and corridors that the guards who were busy in the library suddenly remembered that in a certain outer hall, there was a beautiful woman waiting for their Holy Emperor!
This surprise was not trivial, and a long series of cold sweats immediately broke out on the back of the guard's back. That person, their Holy Emperor, could easily offend. But even if he borrowed another hundred heads, he would never dare to slack off. To die, how could he forget such an important thing?
The guards walked briskly, thinking about why they had forgotten about such an important matter. It was later concluded that he was too busy.
I don't know what the Holy Emperor has experienced outside this time, and as soon as he comes back, he asks to investigate all kinds of big and small matters that have happened in the past one hundred and five years. Originally, it was not his turn to be involved in these things, but with a word from the Holy Emperor, this matter fell on his head so happily, and he had to be grateful for the trust of the Holy Emperor!
When the guards rushed to the outer hall sweating profusely, they saw that Gu Manshuang's delicate face had been covered with a thick layer of frost.
"The little one is Miss Gu!"
After a sneaky glance, the guard quickly lowered his head, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks uncontrollably.
He could feel Gu Manshuang's chest rise and fall violently a few times, and finally regained his composure. At that moment just now, he was really infinitely close to death. If Gu Manshuang wants to take out anger on him and kill him today, then he will be killed. It is impossible for the Holy Emperor to do anything to the eldest lady of the Gu family for a small guard, at most the Gu family will give his parents a little spirit crystal as compensation, but his life is gone, and no matter how many spirit crystals there is, it is meaningless to him.
Fortunately, Gu Manshuang was still a little sensible, and she didn't kill in the palace.
Gu Manshuang didn't think about using this guard to give the Holy Emperor a little warning just now, but in the end, what made her force down this tempting idea was that she hadn't gained a firm foothold in the palace yet, she couldn't be in a hurry, she had to take it step by step. And she believed that today's forgiveness of this guard would definitely make her reputation in the palace even better.
"My brother, he ......"
In an instant, Gu Manshuang put away all her thoughts, revealing an aggrieved look, and her voice was mixed with a trace of suppressed pain.
When the guards heard this, their hearts fluttered. He also complained about the Holy Emperor in his heart, if it weren't for the Holy Emperor being too unattainable, he would have the heart to persuade him.
"Miss Gu, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has returned to the palace to rest."
What these words mean, Gu Manshuang knows very well. That is, she will not be able to see him tonight. But Gu Manshuang is not a person who will give up easily, otherwise she would not be able to achieve today's achievements on the path of cultivation. Talent is important, but perseverance is even more indispensable.
She took a deep look in a certain direction, and then left the hall with the maid who had been transformed into a sculpture.
Seeing that Gu Manshuang was finally willing to take the initiative to leave, the chamberlain breathed a long sigh in his heart.
Gu Manshuang endured it in the Holy Emperor Palace without having a seizure, but after returning to her family, she smashed everything she could in her boudoir.
Gu Weiyan, the head of the Gu family, and Gu Manshuang's mother listened to the heartbeat outside the door. wanted to persuade, but didn't dare to disturb the entanglement in their hearts, which made the hearts of both of them almost twisted. The two looked at each other frequently and shook their heads frequently, which made a frightened person.
It is natural that he will not be a fool to be able to sit in the position of the Prime Minister of the Underworld, so Gu Weiyan quickly deduced the general situation from Gu Manshuang's behavior, but what puzzled him was that this Holy Emperor of theirs was really becoming more and more elusive...... Gu Weiyan's calculating eyes flashed a few strange rays of light.
