Tough Wife Rules - C269
When Helian Manqiu heard his cold and slightly hoarse voice, her entire body shuddered. What a familiar voice. It was so unforgettable.
What was unforgettable was not the voice, but the person with it!
“So it’s Uncle Zhen Bei, Master Hou?” Now, Qing Yu, have you risen up yet again? ”
Suddenly, he turned his head around and looked at the cell not far away with his crystal clear eyes. One of his back was also facing the cell door, and his black robe was faintly covered in golden dragon tattoos; his entire body was emitting a dark, gloomy aura, as if he had already blended into the cell.
“Law King!”
The man turned his head, his eyes dark and unfathomable. His nose was straight and tall with distinct lines. His lips were green and white. He had a cold smile on them. His body emitted a cold aura, his deep eyes were sinister and merciless, revealing a faint sense of dejection.
It was shockingly the Law King, the one who had escaped after falling into the river!
“Qingyu, I don’t want to meet here. It’s really a different story in life! Qing Yu, how did you get here? ”
In an instant, Helian Manqiu was shocked for a moment. She didn’t want to meet with King Lu here. Her mind went blank.
In just a few short breaths of time, she suddenly understood that this was Gan Jianxuan’s doing!
What did that thick-skinned man want to do?
He had purposely tied her up and imprisoned her here so that she could meet with King of Law!
What did he want to do?
“Master Hou, when did Qing Yu rise in rank again? Did he ascend in rank? But he didn’t know that it was because of some merit points as well as the advancement of an official? And why are we here? ”
The Law King was full of doubts. Facing Helian Manqiu, he felt somewhat awkward. Lowering his head slightly, he stared at the dark prison door and asked a few questions. He knew very well that Helian Manqiu must have been dragged down and imprisoned here because she had gone to rescue him and was implicated by him, but she was unwilling to say it out loud.
In the end, it was he who had taken responsibility for Helian Manqiu’s actions. Even now, he still could not understand why Helian Manqiu would treat him with such kindness.
“The Crown Prince has decreed that the Marquis will use troops like gods to protect the mediocre, defeat 100,000 elite soldiers, capture Duke Ming alive, severely injure the Fifth Prince, become a loyal government official, and bestow the title of Second Class Northern General, Second Class Northern General.”
The head of the prison said a few words and glanced at King Lu and Helian Manqiu with a faint smile.
“So that’s how it is. This king has not yet congratulated the northern duke. Since the crown prince has given the order, why is Qing Yu here?”
“I disobeyed the lord’s order and was punished by the lord.”
The Law King said coldly, “The Northern Marquis is a noble who has a feudal fiefdom. Since the crown prince has bestowed you with the title of the ‘Northern Marquis’, then I presume there should be many awards and bestowal of a feudal feudal fiefdom. “Now that you are a noble in the imperial court and you have the military authority, even though the Heavenly Duke has a high position and is a duke, he has no right to punish you or question you for your crimes.”
“I am willing to come and beg for forgiveness from the Lord!”
Her gaze swept over King Lu’s face and her heart instantly calmed down. If it wasn’t for Mo Bai, then King Chen might not have been her beloved younger brother. Gongyue Xuan was most likely not the person she had been searching for all this time!
“Oh, you are a high ranked warrior with outstanding achievements. What right do you have to be punished by Young Master Qing Tian?” Even though your official position is a little lower than the Sky Duke, only royal father and the Crown Prince have the right to question you about your crimes and punish you.
“Your Highness is still worried about yourself. I’m the lord’s subordinate and I’m willing to accept the punishment. How can the title of Marquis be placed in my heart?”
“Qing Yu, what can you put in your heart?”
The Law King’s gaze suddenly fell on Helian Manqiu. Perhaps this was an opportunity for her to escape!
He did not forget that among Gan Qianxuan’s men, there were also the trusted generals of Helian Manqiu. He also believed that Helian Manqiu would definitely bring along her personal guards and trusted aides when she came to Binzhou this time. He did not believe that Helian Manqiu was willing to be imprisoned. If Helian Manqiu made any unusual movements, he might be able to be rescued together and escape from this predicament.
A heartless smile appeared on Helian Manqiu’s face. What did she have to place in her heart?
He could only give it to that man!
“Does Your Highness still remember the song I sang on the Han River?”
“How could This King forget such an excellent phrase.”
“It’s a pity that I haven’t had the chance to finish the last few lines. A few days later, His Royal Highness came up with something. How should I continue?”
King Lu muttered to himself for a moment. “This king’s mind is in a mess, but I can’t think of anything. In this place, can Qingyu sing the last few lines to me? Such a melody, it should be something that only exists in the heavens, it’s rare to hear it, but I would have never thought that I would not have heard it all. ”
“Wouldn’t it be better to have an afterimage? “Why must you listen to it all?”
Helian Manqiu was disappointed. Even though she knew clearly that this person was not Mo Bai, she could not help but use Mo Bai’s melody to probe her and after probing it, she felt even more disappointed. “Mo Bai, where are you?”
Her soul could cross over to this strange world. A wisp of Mo Bai’s heroic soul, where was it now?
King Lu fell silent, then closed his eyes and said nothing. For a long time, the entire prison cell was silent.
Some of the prisoners nearby also knew the identity of these two men. One was the Prince of Law, the other was the youngest and most talented man of the Great Hengkong Empire, Zhenbei Hou!
As the prison warden retreated, Helian Manqiu leaned back on her bedding and looked at the Law King in silence. It was still too similar, too similar!
“Is His Highness called Mo Bai?”
“Indeed, does Qingyu not know?”
“I don’t know, Your Highness is the prince of Tiantang, how would I know Your Highness’s name? It was only two days ago that Duke Ming mentioned it, that I learned of it.”
“Qing Yu, what did you think he would do to you if you were detained here by the Elder of Heaven?”
“My lord should punish me as he pleases. I have disobeyed his orders and have shown kindness to him. I can only let him punish me as he pleases.”
“Zhenbei, do you not know the status and position of your current identity? Would they be willing to be imprisoned in this dungeon and let others slaughter them? ”
“Your Highness, there’s no need to say anymore. I’ve already made one mistake, but I’ve never thought of betraying the Lord. The title of Marquis, the position of a high official, a thousand miles of feudal fiefdom is not in my eyes, it is not what I desire! ”
“What is Qing Yu asking for?”
Helian Manqiu closed her eyes and did not speak again. The Law King would not understand what she was asking for.
She hoped that her father and brother were safe and sound and would never miss the love Mo Bai had for her!
It was just that things changed when people changed. Now that she missed that life, she had a new life in the Great Hengkong Empire. When she thought about Gonggong Xuan, her heart couldn’t help but tremble. If Gonggong Xuan wasn’t that person, did she miss out on something? Would he still hold her in his heart after this betrayal, thinking that she was deeply in love with him?
He smiled bitterly. He didn’t want to spend too much time scheming and plotting. He wanted to win Gan Zhixuan’s heart, so that Gan Zhixuan would think that she secretly approved of him and had deep feelings for him.
Now that he thought about it, the rational calm that Gan Zhixuan had been at the time, was actually because King Lu’s character was’ Mo Bai ‘.
How to explain this to Gan Jianxuan?
Could it be that she had to say that she was a wisp of a lonely soul that came from another world, and Mo Bai was her unforgettable lover in that world?
The Law King also fell down and closed his eyes to rest. He was waiting, he did not believe that Helian Manqiu was willing to be tied down like this and allow him to do as he pleased.
“Master Hou, the lord summons you, please.”
Helian Manqiu rolled over and got off the bed. Her arms were still tightly tied behind her back. She followed the head of the prison out.
“My Lord, this lowly general wishes to seek an audience with my Lord.”
The bedroom door was opened by Returning Dust. Helian Manqiu bowed her head as she entered. Returning Dust closed the door behind her and retreated into the distance.
“Greetings, my lord.”
He lowered his head and knelt down. Before he could kneel on the ground, he was pulled into his embrace by Gan Du Xuan. He was staring at her with his gloomy and limitless eyes.
“Master …”
Helian Man snuggled in Gan Zhixuan’s arms and breathed in the fragrance of his heart, which was as clear as the leaves of a tree in a distant mountain. It was so unforgettable that it made her feel at ease.
“Kacha …”
The leather rope broke. Helian Manqiu’s arms were numb and lifeless as they dropped to her sides.
Gan Yuxuan stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, and started rubbing it. The aching pain made Helian Manqiu break out in cold sweat. She twisted her body uneasily a few times, sucked in a breath of cold air, and gritted her teeth to endure the unbearable feeling.
“Does it feel bad to know that?”
“I offer my blessings to you …”
She buried her head in his arms, listening to his powerful rhythmic heartbeat, and guiltily pressed her face against his chest, allowing his large hands to loosen up her arms.
Moments later, her arms were burning with pain as cold sweat soaked her clothes.
“It hurts, can’t you be lighter?”
“Hmph, I should keep trapping you to prevent you from having any other thoughts.”
“In front of my lord, my general can only allow my lord to punish me as he pleases. How could I dare to have any thoughts?”
She wanted to lift her arms to embrace him, but her arms would not stop trembling, making it difficult to lift them.
Gan Yuxuan held Helian Manqiu in his arms as he sat in her embrace. He lowered his strength a bit to help Helian Manqiu blood flow so that she would not hurt her tendons and bones while they were tied up.
“Girl, have you thought of how to organize this? Have you explained it to me?”
“My lord, this general doesn’t dare to lie in front of my lord. Please enlighten me.” The title of Marquis, the feudal fiefdom, and the like are all looked down upon by this lowly general. He is willing to serve under the Lord and stay by his side. ”
“Little girl, what are you saying? I will give you a chance, I’ll let you go to the land of Jing Bei. As for the matter with the Law King, this lord has already urgently played the imperial court imperial reports. Presumably, in a few days, the imperial government’s bestowal will arrive. Perhaps at that time, your title will not be much lower than mine. ”
“I don’t like it. I’m willing to give it to you, but are you going to kick me out?”
Extending his trembling arm, he embraced Gan Xianxuan and lifted his head to look at him, his eyes rippling. “I’m willing to give it to you, what use do I have of the title of Marquis and the title of dukedom? You know, I never cared about that. ”
“What do you like?”
“I like staying by your side!”
He lowered his head and looked at Helian Manqiu for a moment. “If you want to stay under my command and serve me, I will punish you for violating the military order.”
“This general is willing to accept the punishment bestowed upon me by the Lord.”
“In that case, I’ll go back to my cell and think about it.”
