Chapter 8 You Are Not Afraid This Palace Will Eat You Up
The two princes in front of them were all frightened after hearing Mo Lanyue's words. No one thought that she would come up with such a solution. This... obviously made things more complicated. Okay, please take her on the road.
, I have to take care of her safety along the way, so it would be easier to keep her in the palace. Well... But then again, with her ability, she can probably... protect herself.
Shaking his head, Gu Lieyang didn't agree with Mo Lanyue's suggestion at all. He was going to the Caiying Kingdom to pick up his bride, not to go sightseeing. I'm afraid he would have to devote all his energy to dealing with the eldest princess along the way, and he would have to bring him with him.
If something happened to the troublesome little girl, and her father blamed her, she might be the first one to lose her head, Mo Lanyue.
"Even if the Third Highness doesn't agree, I will find a way to follow you, so don't even think about persuading me to stay."
Before she could speak, Mo Lanyue blocked her mouth with a word. Gu Lieyang looked at her stubborn eyes with a dumbfounded look. Was she worried that she would run away and not support her for the remaining nine and a half years?
Looking at Gu Liege, Gu Lieyang unexpectedly gave in without any persuasion. Anyway, if this girl really wants to follow, I'm afraid she has her own way. Instead of letting her run around alone, it's better to lead her
Appear safe to be around.
"Then, you have to dress up like a book boy before you can follow me."
Patting her chest, Mo Lanyue smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem."
Doesn't it just tie her long shawl hair into a sky-high ponytail? What does it matter? And although she still likes those pink clothes, she always gets tired of them after looking at them for a long time. Isn't it nice to wear men's clothes occasionally?
Yes.
After three full days of preparation, when they actually set off, Mo Lanyue found that their welcoming team was frighteningly simple. It was just a carriage driver and two guards, and then only Gu Lieyang and her were left.
Two people, there are only five people in total after counting. Is this... normal?
She looked suspiciously at Gu Lieyang, who was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, Third Highness, are you sure you are going to pick up the Princess, and not find a remote place to sell me?"
Although the second half of the sentence is a joke, the question in the first half is true. Does it take three days to prepare such a simple lineup? If so, the efficiency of these people's work is too low, although there was no such thing in ancient times.
Clock time is not measured in minutes and seconds, but there is no need to waste time like this.
Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Lieyang smiled faintly and explained, "In order to cover up our whereabouts, we separated from the welcoming team and met up near the Caiying Kingdom Palace. In addition, this palace is reluctant to sell you to others. After all, Chang
For a little girl with such a cute personality, such an awkward kung fu, and such understanding, I am the only one I have met in the world. If you are willing, you can always stay with me."
"What did you say..."
Her face turned red for no reason, and she secretly cursed herself for not being calm. She just said it casually, why should she be so thin-skinned?
"As long as you remain our personal guard, isn't it great?"
Gu Lieyang's smiling face kept enlarging in front of her eyes, until the two of them were almost face to face, nose to nose. She pushed Gu Lieyang away and shouted angrily, "You think so well, you want me."
If you don’t have 1.8 million taels of silver, you can’t hire me as a personal bodyguard, okay?”
After yelling, Mo Lanyue turned around, pointed her butt directly at him, and stopped talking to him.
Gu Lieyang was happy to be free and closed his eyes to rest. In order to arrange various trivial matters before departure, he had slept very little in the past few days. If he hadn't taken advantage of the fact that he was still not far from the imperial capital, he would be safe on the road.
I need to catch up on my sleep during the protection period. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a good night's sleep after traveling for two days to a remote place.
During the long journey to welcome the bride, it was not too rushed. The coachman could always find an inn to stay before dark. Because Mo Lanyue was still young, Gu Lieyang did not give her a separate room for her to sleep. Instead, she moved her to the hotel.
Take it with you. The room in the inn naturally has only one bed. Although Gu Lieyang kindly invited her, she still insisted on sleeping on a simple 'bed' made of two chairs.
But every time she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. Gu Lieyang, who was originally on the bed, was lying on the chair she had set up with his head tilted.
For the third time, at night, Mo Lanyue woke up from her dream. She turned her head and saw Gu Lieyang sleeping on the chair set up beside the bed. She sighed softly and looked at the man with a slightly frowning brow.
, I feel very guilty in my heart. His majestic prince has gone to such an extent for her safety. If she continues to be pedantic, it will be too unloyal. Mo Lanyue, who has always put loyalty in her heart, secretly decided not to insist on it in the future.
It's okay to sleep on a chair, since it's impossible for such a small and flat figure to be eaten.
"Well……"
In the carriage, Gu Lieyang moved his sore arms. The discomfort in his body became more and more obvious as he slept on the wooden chair for a longer period of time. After that night, in the morning, he only felt sore all over his body. It was really unbearable to continue like this.
He glanced at Mo Lanyue without any trace. He didn't understand why this little girl was so insistent on that kind of thing, even though after the first time, she told him every time before going to bed that he was not allowed to change with her again.
Position, but he still couldn't help but carry her to the bed again and again, always feeling... that little body curled up on the chair looked very lonely.
On the fourth day of the journey, the coachman still arrived at an inn before dark. Although it was relatively simple, it finally had a roof to cover his head and he was lucky not to have to sleep in the wilderness. There were still only three rooms, one for the two guards.
, the coachman's room, Gu Lieyang and Mo Lanyue lived in the same room.
After washing, Mo Lanyue did not rush to set up her chair and bed as before, but climbed directly onto the only bed in the room. Under Gu Lieyang's surprised gaze, she rolled on the bed.
, lying on his side, supporting his head with his hands, he hooked his fingers towards Gu Lieyang with his free hand, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said jokingly, "Your Highness, can I help you warm the bed?"
Looking at the little girl who suddenly became enlightened, Gu Lieyang couldn't help but laugh, "You are not afraid that I will eat you."
Pretending to be distressed, she scratched the broken hair on her forehead and murmured to herself, "Is that possible? Your Highness is obviously underage."
Speaking of which, she was actually older than the prince in front of her, but when she first met him, she miscalculated his age because of his stability and maturity. With his young age of sixteen, she faced her
What kind of accident could happen to this seven-year-old body?!
"Underage?"
Gu Lieyang walked over and was puzzled by the unfamiliar words in her mouth.
"Hmm. In our hometown, anyone under the age of eighteen is called a minor."
Not wanting to dwell on these unexplainable things with him, she casually muttered something and then turned over and stopped talking. There was only one quilt on the bed, and she kicked it away in confusion and turned her back to Gu Lieyang beside the bed.
