Make You Happy - Chapter 392
Chapter 392 The Young Emperor
Ruan Youqing and his party did not stay in Huzhuo City for too long. After resting for another night, they set off for Xingcheng, the capital of Canglong Kingdom, early the next morning.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhe took Gu Qing’er with them all the way, saying that it would be safer to go back to Xingcheng with a companion.
Gu Changan unexpectedly did not refuse.
“The Gu family should have been ordered by the emperor of the Canglong Kingdom to come to the border city to look for suspicious people.”
In the carriage, Gu Changan expressed his conjecture.
Ruan Youqing soon realized that her elder sister was arrested because she inquired about Qiu Si’s mother.
After all… No one dares to inquire about the former princess regent.
That’s… Ruan Youning is reckless and bold…
Because of the Gu family’s accompanying, along the way, Ruan Youning and Qiu Si changed their faces under Ruan Youqing’s arrangement. One pretended to be Gu Changan’s attendant, and the other followed Fan’er and waited beside Ruan Youqing.
Yu Chijing didn’t need to be so troublesome, he set off ahead of time and waited for the next town where Ruan Youqing and his party were going to arrive, pretending to meet by chance to join.
Along the way, nothing happened.
Except that Gu Qing’er seized the opportunity to go to Gu Chang’an’s side, Gu Chang’an went from sneering at each other at the beginning to ignoring him at the end. It’s just that every time Gu Qing’er came over, he always wanted to take Ruan Youqing over and make love to Ruan Youqing in front of Gu Qing’er.
The humiliated Gu Qing’er finally calmed down.
Seeing the person getting angry, Ruan Youqing rarely joked: “Master Gu, she is your younger sister, if she marries you, wouldn’t it be more kissing?”
The consequence of daring to make a joke was naturally “punished” by Gu Changan who caught him. So far, Ruan Youqing has kept silent about Gu Qing’er.
It’s just… Thinking about Gu Changan’s identity, Ruan Youqing slowly realized that this kind of peach blossom will definitely not stop in the future.
Although she felt uncomfortable, Ruan Youqing still had the courage to mention it tactfully. About the future… concubine thing. Although in their Ruan family, neither grandfather nor father took concubines, this kind of thing was normal everywhere.
However, after saying it, Gu Changan stretched out his hand and knocked on her forehead with a serious face.
“Weak water three thousand, just take a scoop to drink, Xiaoqing, do you know the meaning of this sentence?”
Ruan Youqing’s breath was stagnant, and then he didn’t ask any more questions, but reached out and hugged Gu Changan.
His words are enough. Because she believed that Gu Changan was the one who kept his promise.
…
Ten days later, the group finally arrived at Xingcheng, the capital of Canglong Kingdom.
The buildings in Xingcheng are different from those capitals that Ruan Youqing has seen.
The buildings here are all built of black masonry, and the roofs are quite different from those in other places.
After Gu Yuanzhe arrived in Xingcheng, he changed his previous low-key style and invited Ruan Youqing with a smile on his face. When Gu Changan had time to visit Gu’s mansion, he left with a gloomy face.
Because Gu Changan came here with the mission of connecting the friendship between the two countries, after Gu Yuanzhe left, Yu Chijing took the lead to report to the palace.
Ruan Youqing and his party found an inn to adjust their status and wait for the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom… to receive him.
It’s just that Gu Chang’an, Ruan Youqing and others didn’t take the other party’s attitude so high.
It wasn’t until they simply ate something to pad their stomachs at the inn that Yu Chijing brought another civil servant to pick them up into the palace.
Ruan Youning was waiting in the inn with Qiu Si.
Regarding Qiu Si’s safety, Ruan Youqing and Gu Chang’an are actually at ease. After all, the emperor of Canglong Kingdom would never have imagined that the person he had worked so hard to find would have the courage to come to Xingcheng.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The imperial palace in Xingcheng is also built of black bricks and stones, but it is much higher than other buildings in the city.
It looks more magnificent.
When entering the palace, the guards were waiting in full formation with solemn expressions.
Being led through many side halls, they arrived at the palace where the emperor of Canglong Kingdom received his foreign ministers.
After saluting neither humble nor overbearing, Ruan Youqing raised his head and looked calmly at the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom.
Young is Ruan Youqing’s first impression of him.
On the slightly immature face, there is a majesty that is forced out.
With just one glance, Ruan Youqing understood why the other party was staring at Qiu Si so closely.
This young emperor is really insecure.
When the other party faced Gu Changan, although the expression on his face was tense, his heart was throbbing.
Why is the aura of a courtier on the other side so strong!
The black wide-sleeved hand picked the dragon chair under him, and the emperor of Canglong Kingdom finally said in a deep voice: “Master Gu, the Chief Assistant of Ning Kingdom, is really young and promising.”
Gu Changan smiled politely.
After you came and I exchanged a few words, the emperor of Canglong Kingdom remembered to grant the seat.
But as soon as they sat down, the servant standing outside the hall came in and whispered something in the ear of the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom.
The man had just finished speaking, and the face of the emperor of Canglong Kingdom became complicated with the naked eye.
“Why did he come at this time? I have done what I have arranged for him? Also, I am receiving foreign ministers, so he insists on coming to see me at this time.”
The servant only lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
“Forget it, let him in.”
The emperor of Canglong Kingdom waved his hands, then leaned back, a trace of fatigue appeared on his young face.
The other party’s undisguised demeanor gradually made Ruan Youqing suspicious.
This little emperor…is he really someone who will drive people to death…
Soon Ruan Youqing denied his own doubts, revealing emotions and being suspicious were not contradictory.
After the servant went out to pass the decree, he came back soon.
It’s just that behind him is a middle-aged man wearing a purple official robe with a harrier crown.
Just by looking at the other person’s appearance, Ruan Youqing knew the other person’s identity.
Gu Yuandao, the largest family in Canglong Kingdom.
The reason why he could recognize it was because the other person’s eyebrows and eyes were five points similar to Gu Changan’s, but his facial features were not as refined as Gu Changan’s.
Gu Yuandao originally saluted Canglong Kingdom indifferently, but when his eyes fell on Gu Changan, his indifference disappeared instantly.
Presumably, through Gu Changan’s appearance, he also thought of his half-brother Gu Huaixin who was kicked out of the house a long time ago.
After all, Gu Changan is more like his father.
Seeing the other party’s reaction, Ruan Youqing quickly thought of something.
He was so shocked, first of all, he didn’t expect that Ningguo’s chief assistant would be his nephew that he had never seen before, and secondly, he didn’t expect that he would come to Canglong Kingdom.
What’s interesting is… It’s been more than two hours since Gu Yuanzhe went back to the mansion. The two brothers could not have met each other.
Gu Yuanzhe’s shocking reaction after seeing Gu Changan in Huzhuo City is enough to prove that he already knows Gu Changan’s identity.
But…he didn’t tell his elder brother Gu Yuandao about it.
It seems that Gu Yuanzhe has something on his mind.
