The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 79: The Princess Consort Had Begged For the Medicine

Gu Ruoyun’s expression did not improve when he heard Su Yan’s words. His eyes turned towards Chun Xia and he pointed at her, “You tell me.”

As he spoke, Gu Ruoyun had already brought Su Yan to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard and sat down.

Chun Xia was trembling from Gu Ruoyun’s gaze.

Her legs immediately gave way and she fell to her knees.

This was the original demeanor of His Royal Highness the God of War God. He had only subconsciously restrained his aura beside Su Yan.

Su Yan wanted to speak but was stopped by Gu Ruoyun.

Chun Xia had originally wanted the people of the Imperial Residence to know of the sacrifices her young miss had made for His Royal Highness. Not to mention that she had just been frightened by Gu Ruoyun, so she spilt everything out like beans.

“Our young miss did run into Master Xuanfeng when she arrived at Shen An Temple. However, that master was a very strange person. It was one thing for him not to meet our young miss, but he had even asked her to chop firewood. Every day, the amount of firewood she had to chop up was as tall as a person. Every day, the young miss’ hands would be full of blisters and her old wounds would be replaced by new ones. Later on, the master insisted on drinking tea brewed with the spring water on the mountain. So every day, before dawn, the young miss would go up the mountain to help him fetch the spring water. There were also blisters on her feet. On the first day she came down from the mountain, she fainted immediately. At night, when I was popping the blisters for the young miss, even I felt that it was horrifying. Even so, the young miss still went up the mountain every day.”

The more Chun Xia spoke, the uglier Gu Ruoyun’s expression became.

Gu An and An Yi had never thought that the Soul Revival Pill’s origins were as such.

Chun Xia mustered up her courage and raised her head, she looked at Gu Ruoyun and said, “Your Highness, we’ve all tried to persuade the young miss to go home, but the young miss refused to return. She said that she had come for an important person. At the time, we did not understand, but now it seems that this person is you.”

Su Yan felt extremely shy after her feelings were confessed passively in front of everyone.

Gu Ruoyun held Su Yan’s hand and his voice softened, “Yan’er, thank you.”

This was the first time Gu Ruoyun had called her this way.

Su Yan looked at Gu Ruoyun seriously and said, “I said that I would save you and protect you.”

Gu Ruoyun thought back to what Su Yan had said back then when she had came to the Imperial Residence and climbed up the wall.

“I’ll save you.”

“I’ll protect you.”

Her eyes had been filled with determination at the time. He had never thought that the little girl would turn the words that he thought were a joke into reality.

Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Alright, you protect me.”

Su Yan smiled as well.

Aside from the Su family, her biggest wish in this life was for Gu Ruoyun to live a happy life.

Gu An looked at the atmosphere between the two of them which could not accommodate a third person, and felt a wave of bitterness in her heart.

However, she felt more relieved than bitter. At least in the future, His Royal Highness would be able to live a happy life with Su Yan by his side.

Gu An quietly hid the tears that flashed past the corner of her eyes. She did not expect that An Yi would see this scene.

An Yi furrowed his brows and thought, since the Princess Consort had gone to beg for the medicine for His Royal Highness, then she must have married into the Imperial Residence for His Royal Highness.

However, Gu An’s behavior did not seem right either. It couldn’t be that Gu An liked the Princess Consort, but the Princess Consort liked His Royal Highness, right?

Such a complicated relationship had clearly exceeded An Yi’s brain capacity.

He stood rooted to the ground on the spot, his brain crashing.

The poison in his body had been completely removed, but his body had been in deficit for many years after all. Gu Ruoyun’s body still needed some time to recuperate.

Su Yan accompanied Gu Ruoyun back to his room. When there were only the two of them in the room, Su Yan felt a little awkward.

She hesitated and said, “You’ve just been detoxified so I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go back first.”

Unexpectedly, Gu Ruoyun stretched out his long arms and lifted Su Yan up by her waist. Su Yan cried out in surprise, “Gu Ruoyun, put me down quickly. Your body can’t take it.”

Gu Ruoyun’s face darkened. A man can’t be told that he was ‘unable’.

“Today, your husband will let you see whether my body can take it or not.”
