The voices of the two people gradually faded away, and in the room, Qiao Jinhuan was half lying on the bed with a flushed face, a charming look on her eyebrows, her hands holding her clothes and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was suffering in pain.
When she heard the door to the room, she raised her head and saw a flash of astonishment in her eyes when she saw Gu Changsheng, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"What's going on?"
Gu Changsheng was in a daze for a moment, then quickly walked to the bed and helped her, "I just heard that person say, what is the heart-linking Gu? What is that thing?"
Qiao Jinhuan leaned half on his arm and gently moved her head. She opened her bright red lips and was about to speak, but she coughed first, and bright blood flowed out of the corners of her lips uncontrollably.
Gu Changsheng's pupils shrank when he saw it, he took out his handkerchief to wipe away the blood, and asked eagerly, "He said I can save you, how can I save you?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to save me."
Qiao Jinhuan hugged Gu Changsheng with both hands and said softly: "I will die without regrets if I can see your highness for the last time. This is probably retribution. I once poisoned your highness and asked him to endure such heart-wrenching pain, and now
, it’s my turn~”
"It's not your fault."
Gu Changsheng didn't know much about the life of the dead.
But you can guess a thing or two just by looking at the environment of the underground palace.
Qiao Jinhuan was a dead soldier trained by his father, but he was willing to stay by his side and help him in every situation, and even paid many costs that he didn't know to help him make a comeback.
He owed it to Qiao Jinhuan.
"Your Highness, don't you hate me?"
Qiao Jinhuan looked up at Gu Changsheng and asked.
"Of course not." Gu Changsheng said firmly.
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips weakly, "That's enough, Your Highness. Cheating, betrayal, and murder are all crimes I have committed against Your Highness. I admit it. My hands are stained with blood, and I am covered in black.
But I do it all for Your Highness. Whatever you can’t do, I will do it!”
No wonder we had to make plans without telling him.
It turned out that I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it.
But this is his business. He should have been responsible for it, but it was all blamed on Qiao Jinhuan...
A flash of shame flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes. If only he had figured it out and was willing to be more cruel. Then Qiao Jinhuan wouldn't have to work so hard.
"It's just that from now on, you must not be so merciful without me."
"I don't blame you. I don't blame you for those things."
Gu Changsheng watched her face become paler and paler. He no longer wanted to talk nonsense to her and went straight to the point and asked, "Jin Huan, how can I save you?"
He hasn't made up for Qiao Jinhuan yet, she can't die!
Qiao Jinhuan, however, kept silent and just shook his head.
"Jin Huan!"
Gu Changsheng shouted in an accentuated tone, "I don't want you to die."
This person's love for him was so strong that he couldn't bear to let her leave!
"Your Highness, go back, you have to go to court tomorrow."
Qiao Jinhuan smiled at him, but his eyes were slowly losing their luster, as if they were dying.
"Qiao Jinhuan!" Gu Changsheng's tone was filled with anger, "Didn't you say that next time we meet, your life will be left to me? I want you to live, do you hear me!"
Qiao Jinhuan's eyes flashed slightly.
Gu Changsheng began to regret coming in too early. He should have asked about Lian Xin Gu's condition outside and how to save people before coming in.
It would also avoid the stalemate with Qiao Jinhuan here now.
Qiao Jinhuan pursed her lips, and a thin layer of red suddenly appeared on her pale face, "Your Highness~"
Gu Changsheng said "Hmm", "What is the solution to the Lianxin Gu?"
"yes……"
Qiao Jinhuan's eyes began to dodge and he kept silent, but held Gu Changsheng's clothes tightly with both hands.
"What?"
"Yes, yes..."
Qiao Jinhuan said the next words so quietly that Gu Changsheng didn't hear them clearly. He could only bend down and lower his head to Qiao Jinhuan's mouth to listen.
By accident, his face touched Qiao Jinhuan's lips.
Her lips were hot, as if she were kissing her heart, which immediately brought back the memory of Gu Changsheng being kissed by her in the past.
"Same room~"
Gu Changsheng caught these two words with sharp ears, and his face suddenly turned red.
How could this be?
No wonder Shadow said he was the only one who could save him, right?
Qiao Jinhuan loves him so much. Besides letting him touch her, how could she let anyone else touch her?
Gu Changsheng felt relieved, then turned his head to look at the shy Qiao Jinhuan, and smiled helplessly, "Are you willing?"
He didn't mind having the wedding ceremony in advance. Although it was a bit offensive, saving people was more important.
"I don't want to."
Qiao Jinhuan said weakly.
Gu Changsheng:???
His eyes widened for a moment, obviously in disbelief.
Qiao Jinhuan planned all kinds of tricks to send him to the throne, and now she is still lying in his arms, wandering around the palace of the king of hell for the rest of her life. Under such circumstances, she actually told him that she didn't want to?
Could it be that...she doesn't love herself?
It shouldn’t be~
"Why?" Gu Changsheng asked in confusion.
"Heart-linked Gu~ If His Highness touches me today, from now on, he can only be mine. If he touches the other woman next to him, his heart will be eaten by thousands of poisons, and he will be tortured to death."
"It doesn't matter, you are enough."
Gu Changsheng was not a person who coveted beauty, and King Zhen'an, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, was his iron supporter. He did not need to rely on the position of concubines to balance the power of the court.
So just one Qiao Jinhuan is enough!
"Your Highness?"
Qiao Jinhuan opened his eyes slightly and said disapprovingly: "Your Highness is the emperor, how can I be the only one?"
"I don't like women making noisy things. It's good to have you."
Gu Changsheng raised his hand and pinched her face gently, "Do you think your Highness is a libertine?"
Qiao Jinhuan shook his head, "Your Highness is accustomed to long-lasting love."
"Today something happened suddenly. After the enthronement ceremony, I will ask the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare for the ceremony. You helped me get this position, and it should be half of yours."
Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes and kissed Qiao Jinhuan. Seeing her expression becoming more and more painful, he reached out to untie her belt.
He was not greedy and filthy because of lust. His expression was very serious and solemn, as if he was doing something very important.
"Your Highness," Qiao Jinhuan stopped again, "My body is not good-looking."
Gu Changsheng lowered his head and saw the cowardice and self-loathing in Qiao Jinhuan's eyes. He felt weak in his heart, and then he felt dense pain everywhere, as if he was being tortured by acupuncture.
Of course he knew what Qiao Jinhuan was referring to.
It's the scars on her back that won't go away over the years, it's the slightly tough and upright body she has been practicing martial arts...
So what?
"It's pretty," Gu Changsheng coaxed softly, "Be good and listen to me, okay?"
"Your Highness~"
Qiao Jinhuan held Gu Changsheng's neck with both hands, looking hesitant but not stopping Gu Changsheng from unbuttoning her clothes.
His warm, slightly calloused palms caressed her waist, and then loosened the monochromatic bed curtains. The wooden bed, which was not luxurious and even seemed a little thin, fell softly after a while.
