Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

Through seven years.

Return to the imperial capital of Qingguo, the prime minister's mansion and Gu's mansion.

"...The eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu Ze, Xilou, is virtuous and virtuous...I am deeply pleased, and today I am bestowing a marriage on the crown prince. I will marry you on a certain day, and I respect you!"

"The minister accepts the decree—" Gu Ze's slightly fat body stood out beside the slender Gu Xilou.

Gu Xilou knelt there, lowered his head, but did not move.

"Lou'er, get up and receive the order." Gu Ze frowned slightly, and motioned for Gu Xiang, who was at the side, to help Gu Xilou up.

Gu Xilou reluctantly stood up, and the 16-year-old girl was already standing tall and graceful.

"My daughter—receive the order." Gu Xilou lowered his head, frowned, and said in a perfunctory tone.

Eunuch Cao has long been aware of the arrogance of Miss Gu's family under the name of "knowledgeable and rational", so he is not surprised by this, so he just smiled to himself: "Then our family will congratulate Gu Xiangye first!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Cao." Gu Ze winked as he spoke, and the butler at the side immediately stepped forward, took out an ingot of silver and stuffed it into Eunuch Cao's hand.

"Then our family will go back to the palace and report to the emperor."

"Housekeeper, go see Eunuch Cao off. Eunuch go slowly."

"Xiang'er, help me back to my room." Gu Xilou glanced at the bright yellow imperial decree, stretched out his arm, and let Gu Xiang, who was stepping forward, support him.

"Lou'er..." Gu Ze wanted to call out to his favorite daughter.

Gu Xilou stopped and said quietly without looking back: "Father, my daughter is tired."

"That's all." Gu Ze waved his hand in resignation with a sad face.

The Realm of Gods, Nine Lotus Mountains.

"Baby Jirong, senior brother wants your help with something." Chao Qing suddenly appeared beside Ji Rong.

Ji Rong put away his sword, raised his head, and looked at Chao Qing blankly.

"Master asked me to go to the back mountain to gather some herbs. You also know about the pharmacology of senior brother... ahaha, so..." Chao Qing scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile.

"Oh." Ji Rong was obviously used to it, sheathed his sword, turned around and walked away.

Chao Qing waved his hands from behind: "Thanks for your hard work!"

Ji Rong casually climbed up the mountain, and when he saw the herbs that his senior brother told him, he bent down to pick them.When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he suddenly panicked. When he turned around, he saw that the place where he had lived for more than ten years was already ablaze.

Leaving the herb behind, Ji Rong turned around and ran away.However, no matter how good the lightness kung fu was, by the time he rushed back, the house had already been burned to the ground.

With no combustibles left, the fire gradually extinguished. Ji Rong watched the last flame go out before he slowly squatted down, licked the blood-stained soil on the ground, sniffed it under his nose, then got up and walked quickly in one direction go.

Half a month later——

"Miss, you will be married to the crown prince in half a year. Now all the people who are fawning on you have lined up outside the city, and there are too many people praying for you. Why do you have to travel so far to offer incense and pray for blessings?" Gu Xiang said a little can not understand.

"Blessing? Who knows whether those people came to pray for me, or begged the gods to take my life as soon as possible! Taking a step back, even if they are sincere, but praying for blessings is not about the amount of sesame oil, nor the number of people, but about the heart .” Gu Xilou sat on the carriage that was driving leisurely, flipping through the book, “I’m here, my heart is sincere, and I feel at ease.”

"Well, Miss always thinks so much, and there are many reasons." Gu Xiang poured a cup of tea for Gu Xilou.

"I've been with you for so long, and you still don't understand me?" Gu Xilou rolled up the book and tapped Gu Xiang on the head twice.

Ji Rong left the city and walked on the yellow sand road in the suburbs, covered in dust.

"When you are young, if you don't find a job to earn money, you just know how to stroll outside. Whoever has such a son at the booth is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

"It looks so good-looking, but I didn't expect it to be a fool. It's a pity."

"Who's fool doesn't like it, just let him out for a walk, and no one will know if he is sold to be a coolie!"

Ji Rong recalled the sarcastic remarks he had heard in the past half month, and the ridicule he had received, and finally understood why his master and senior brother did not let him go down the mountain.

It turned out that every time the master and senior brothers went out to do the shopping, they were so bitter and humiliated.Ji Rong kicked the pebbles on the road, thinking so.

After half a month of living in the open air, Ji Rong's originally smooth and smooth hair has become rough and knotted, his white and tender skin has also become dark and rough, and the blue brocade clothes are already dirty and torn. Color and style.

The much-loved Mr. Ruyu on Jiulian Mountain disappeared, and was replaced by a dull-looking beggar who everyone hated.

******

"Miss, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince is the same as the rumors?" Gu Xiang couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere except for the sound of the carriage, so he said.

Gu Xilou turned a page of the book and said indifferently: "I don't know."

"Then...Miss, do you think His Royal Highness will also be in Sangong Sixth Court in the future?"

Gu Xilou said without raising his head, "I don't know."

"Miss, do you think..."

This time Gu Xilou simply interrupted her and said, "I don't know."

"Miss……"

"Gu Xiang, can you let me read a book quietly for a while?" Gu Xilou frowned deeply, raised his hand and gently pressed his temple.

"Okay, the slave girl knows." Gu Xiang sat down on the seat resentfully.

"hiss--"

The horse stopped suddenly, and Gu Xilou fell over, hitting his forehead on the table in the car.

Gu Xiang rubbed Gu Xilou Yinhong's forehead distressedly, while raising the curtain of the car to scold the coachman angrily, but saw the coachman sitting on the shaft with his back stiff.

Gu Xilou glanced at it, and saw a few tall horses standing in front of the carriage, each of which was sitting on a big man with a sturdy back, and the big men were still holding a big knife that was shining with a cold light, and he immediately understood in his heart. It was because bandits came down the mountain to rob.

"Do you know who my lady is?" the groom yelled with trembling voice, but still managed to force himself.

Before the bandit leader could speak, he felt a gust of wind blowing over him, and a weak and sloppy young man stood between the Gu family's carriage and the bandit's horse team.

"Boy, did you go the wrong way?" asked the leader of the bandits.

"No." Ji Rong looked up at him and said, his voice was a little fluttering because of the hunger for a few days.

"Little devil, you want to take care of grandpa's affairs before your hair grows?"

"It looks like you haven't eaten for a few days, right? Don't wait for the grandpas to do it yourself! Hahaha!"

"Hey, don't tell me, you are thin and weak, look at this little face, although it is dirty, but it is still quite delicate when you look closely, isn't it a girl pretending to be?!"

"Hahaha! If you're a girl, you can go back and become Mrs. Yazhai together with Miss Gu's family!"

When Gu Xilou heard this, she was startled. It turned out that it wasn't because of bad luck that she met bandits!

Gu Xilou's trip this time, everything was simple, there was no place on the carriage that could reveal her identity, but these bandits did not hesitate to reveal her identity when they could only see the carriage, and someone must have bought her. The murderer came to kill her.

As for who it is, there are two possibilities: first, the prince does not want to marry her; second, someone does not want the prince to marry her.She was not sure about the first type; as for the second type, there were too many motivated people.

Just as Gu Xilou was thinking about it, there were already swords and swords outside.The boy's swordsmanship did not match his figure at all, but the sword flower danced by the thin figure was extremely fierce.

Not long after, there was no one on the horse.

The broadswords of the bandits were broken into two pieces and fell aside. The bandit head barely stood holding his right arm, while the rest lay on the ground and groaned in pain.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xilou in the carriage raised his hand and half covered his lips, as if he was talking to himself: "How do you compare with him?"

Gu Xiang was also shocked by this scene. When he heard Gu Xilou's words, he just glanced back, but when he saw that Gu Xilou hadn't spoken, he turned his gaze back.

"You said this dirty monkey is better?" Gu Xilou frowned slightly, apparently in disbelief.

Ji Rong heard the sound and turned his head to take a look.

Those eyes were crystal clear, something Gu Xilou had never seen in more than ten years.

destroy him!An impulse welled up in Gu Xilou's heart, but he put down the curtain expressionlessly.

"Still leaving?" The boy's voice was a little hoarse, but he still couldn't hide his immaturity.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The "Bandits" scrambled and ran away.

After a while, Gu Xilou raised his hand, pushed Gu Xiang lightly and said, "It's a talent."

Gu Xiang immediately understood, got up and got out of the carriage, and stopped Ji Rong who was about to leave: "First, thank the young hero for saving my life on behalf of my lady. My lady said, seeing the young hero's dusty body and tired face, I don't know but there is no way out. Where? If you don’t mind, would you like to come to Gu Mansion for a short stay? If there is any difficulty, Gu Mansion is also willing to share a part or two for the young hero.”

Ji Rong frowned, expressing that he didn't understand what Gu Xiang was talking about.

Seeing this, Gu Xilou asked directly: "Would you like to go with me? I will take care of your food and lodging, and you will take good care of me."

Ji Rong stretched his brows and nodded, apparently understanding.

"Father, my daughter has taken a bodyguard today." Gu Xilou went straight to the study when he returned to the Gu residence.

Gu Ze was drafting a memorial, and when he saw that it was his favorite daughter, he immediately showed a smile: "Why did you suddenly put away the guards?"

"On the way back from Shangxiang, my daughter was robbed by a group of bandits." Gu Xilou looked horrified, "If it wasn't for that young hero who saved my daughter's life, my daughter would almost not be able to come back! It just so happened that he was homeless." , I accepted him as my bodyguard."

"Bandits robbed the road?!" Gu Ze was taken aback.

Gu Xilou then gave a full account of today's events.

Gu Ze fell into deep thought after hearing this, and asked after a while, "Do you know the origin of this young man?"

Gu Xilou was stunned. She thought that someone bought her to kill her, but she didn't consider whether Ji Rong was also a move in this chess game. She just brought him back and planned to stay with her.It's not like her style!

Gu Xilou recalled why she brought him back so easily.Is it because the thin figure was inexplicably moved when he stood in front of her carriage without hesitation?Or was the desire for destruction gushing out from the bottom of my heart when I saw those eyes that were exhausted but clear to the bottom?
