The Rebirth of an Orphan

Sun Xiao was drinking alone in the room. After receiving this unexpected news, he didn't expect that Sun Cong, this bastard, would come out to defend Gu Lun. What on earth did this guy want to do? Although he couldn't change their marriage, he wanted Sun Cong to give him an explanation.

"When did you get involved with Gu Lun?" Sun Xiao glared at Sun Cong in an angry voice.

Sun Cong looked at Sun Xiao in front of him with a hint of sarcasm on his face. Gu Lun was forced into that situation by Zhao Lingyun today, so he had to reveal his chess piece. Now it is impossible to hide it from Sun Xiao.

"Brother, why do you think the Third Prince can win? Maybe the Ninth Prince has a better chance of winning? The reason I followed Gu Lun was because I thought that one day, when our Sun family was wiped out, I would be able to leave you a descendant. Brother, do you understand?"

In the car returning to Gu's house, Zhao Xihua felt a chill in her heart. The Zhao family still wouldn't let her go, and they wouldn't stop even after they arrived in Kyoto.

Gu Lun turned his head to look at Zhao Xihua and said carefully: "Hua'er, don't be angry. Now it's just the two of us. I'll tell you in detail." Zhao Xihua was about to explain that she was not angry, but Gu Lun still said anxiously:

"I was waiting for you outside and I was getting anxious. Although Madam Ling did not participate in the party dispute, she was a member of the Ling family after all. I had to be on guard. I was mainly worried about your safety, so I wanted to find you in a hurry..."

"I didn't expect to see you jumping into the pond when I walked to the edge. I didn't think too much at the time and jumped in directly. Who knew it wasn't you. When I saw Zhao Lingyun wearing the same clothes as you, I knew I was being tricked. But before I could react, the girl next to Zhao Lingyun ran out screaming, leaving me no chance to silence her."

Zhao Xihua didn't expect that Gu Lun really wanted to kill Zhao Lingyun, but she could understand it after thinking about it. How could someone as arrogant as Gu Lun let others plot against him? But Zhao Lingyun was really too much. Even if such a cruel woman was really killed by Gu Lun, she felt that she would support him.

Gu Lun looked at his beloved's expression and felt that she didn't seem that angry. "Today's incident was my fault for being too anxious. If Sun Cong hadn't stepped in, it might have been a little troublesome to resolve. It's a pity that Sun Cong was exposed so early."

For the first time, Zhao Xihua took the initiative to hold Gu Lun's hand and smiled faintly, "Actually, you don't need to explain. I am a burden to you. Zhao Lingyun is a proud person. After seeing the prosperity of Kyoto, she definitely doesn't want to return to small Yuncheng. It's just that Sun Cong suffered this humiliation for you. You must thank him."

Gu Lun held Zhao Xihua's hand with his backhand and pulled her into his arms. He pressed his cold chin against Zhao Xihua's forehead and whispered, "Hua'er, I'm actually really happy today. I really like it when I see that you can completely break off your relationship with Sun Xiao. Zhao Lingyun thought that she could make me responsible for her by framing me, but what she didn't know was that I, Gu Lun, only have you, Zhao Xihua, as my wife in this life."

"Hua'er, I can't guarantee that you will always enjoy wealth and glory with me. After all, being with a king is like being with a tiger. I don't know if I can always stand at the top of power, but my promise to you is that we will be together for the rest of our lives. No matter it's spring or summer or winter, I want to be with you forever. No one and nothing can separate us."

Zhao Xihua's heart ached, and she fell into unprecedented confusion. How could she bear the look this man gave her?

"Gu Lun, I..."

"Shh, don't say anything, that's all." Gu Lun was panicking. He didn't dare let Zhao Xihua speak. In case she said something he didn't want to hear, he was worried that he would be too sad to bear it.

Zhao Xihua of course knew how Gu Lun felt at the moment. She looked at Gu Lun's deep and melancholy eyes and smiled, "Alan, I also promise you that I, Zhao Xihua, will never fall in love with anyone other than you in this life!"

Gu Lun was a little frozen. The surprise came too suddenly. The fear in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He suddenly hugged Zhao Xihua tightly in his arms. He couldn't say a word for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was like he had picked up a rare treasure.

But when the two of them just returned to Gu's house, before they sat down, Changfeng came in nervously and said to Gu Lun: "Master, the president is calling you urgently."

Gu Lun and Zhao Xihua's faces both changed. Was there something wrong in the Presidential Palace due to the sudden summons?

"Hua'er, just stay at home and don't go anywhere." Gu Lun felt that something was unusual and something was wrong.

Zhao Xihua didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly put the coat that Gu Lun had just taken off on him and said, "Don't worry about the family, I know what to do."

Gu Lun turned around and left. He did not come back for the whole night. Zhao Xihua could only vaguely hear some ominous noises and footsteps coming and going outside. She had no idea what kind of noise Gu Lun and the others had made.

The next morning, Pingshui came in hurriedly just after Zhao Xihua finished washing up, leaned over to Zhao Xihua and whispered, "Sister, something happened."

"What happened?"

"There was a mutiny in the Ling family's military camp yesterday. It was led by General Ling's subordinates."

"What did you say?" Zhao Xihua stood up suddenly. General Ling has both power and money, and his strength is extraordinary. How could he do such a thing?

She suddenly remembered the time at the palace banquet when President Mo Yuan looked at Ling Ziye with hatred, and the Queen Mother treated Ling Qian better than her own son, to the point that even Mo Yuan couldn't stand it.

I guess this kind of disease is not that simple. Could it be a trap set by Mo Yuan? Then it must be in some way related to Gu Lun.

Zhao Xihua pulled it up fiercely. Gu Lun was walking on the edge of a knife. She was really worried about Gu Lun. The more uncontrollable the situation was, the more dangerous his situation would become.

"So how is the Ling family doing now?"

Pingshui said hurriedly: "I heard that the head of the Ling family was stripped of his general rank, and now the father and son of the Ling family are under house arrest. However, the Ling family soldiers in the barracks launched a military coup and demanded justice for the Ling family."

Zhao Xihua sneered and said, "Even though they rebelled, they were just locked up at home. The Ling family really has a strong backstage."

Pingshui and Chunfeng, the two little girls, had never seen such things before. They just asked with pale faces: "Miss, will the son-in-law be in trouble?"

"Nothing will happen to him. How could anything happen to a man like him?" Zhao Xihua's eyes were filled with determination. How could a man like Gu Lun, who had been causing trouble for thousands of years, have his wings broken so easily?

"Young Madam," Changfeng's voice suddenly came from outside, and then Changfeng, dressed in military uniform, walked in quickly. The murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated. It seemed that the situation last night was very dangerous.

"Madam, the young master asked me to tell you something. Everything is fine. Don't worry."

Zhao Xihua nodded without asking anything else. Changfeng was Gu Lun's most trusted confidant. With him around, Gu Lun would have one more life. She didn't want to waste Changfeng's time. As long as he was safe, that was enough.

"Got it, thank you, you must be careful!"
