After crossing, I marked the Empress

5 am.

The night fog is about to disperse, and the sky and sea outside Forli Castle are connected, like a chaotic world.

Shen Han hugged the sleepy Gu Junwan to the viewing platform on the top floor of the guest accommodation area.

This is an activity that the two of them had discussed before going to bed, and they wanted to wait for the sunrise here.

Free Castle built on the peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides.

The current location of Shen Han and the two happened to be the cliff torus with the best view.

The protruding rock looks like a huge eagle's beak.

Standing on it, it will give people a feeling that the sky is high and the sea is wide.

Shen Han spread a moisture-proof mat on the cold and hard rock platform, and then sat down side by side with Gu Junwan.

"Wife, shall we stay at Free Castle all day today?"

"I remember that in the itinerary, you have to have a meeting with the old king in the palace in the afternoon."

While making a sound, Shen Han shook off the soft and skin-friendly blanket, and put it on his and Gu Junwan's shoulders.

The sea breeze was very cool, but the two of them who were caged under the blanket were as warm as spring.

Gu Junwan rested her head on the shoulder of the person beside her, and closed her beautiful eyes comfortably.

Her voice was not as clear as usual, but rather hoarse and lazy: "The meeting is definitely indispensable, but it will be better tomorrow."

Under the thin blanket, she rubbed and found Shen Han's palm, and interlocked his fingers.

"Before, we needed to make a large profit to satisfy the appetite of King Holth."

"Now, it's time to reverse the cards."

Just as he was speaking, a light suddenly appeared in the distance ahead.

The two looked up, and saw a flame rising slowly from the other side of the sea level.

The red light tore through the gray fog, and strands of light leaked out from the gaps in the sky.

That Guangyao was a little scattered at first, but soon, it became like a meeting of teachers.

The sky is full of rays of light, burning the sky, and the whole world seems to be coated with a layer of gorgeous golden yarn.

Shen Han was shocked by the magnificence of this moment, and there was water in her eyes.

Her heart was beating like a drum, but in just a short moment, she felt as if she had joined hands with Gu Junwan for a long time.

There are also clear waves in Gu Junwan's eyes.

The sea and mountains are reflected in her golden pupils that symbolize majesty, more gorgeous than the stars.

She let go of the slender palm that was entangled with Shen Han's knuckles, held the man's chin in front of her, and kissed the corner of the man's lips.

Neither of them spoke.

The sun is silent, but it is better than a thousand words.

……

The members of the escort team headed by Ning Xi thought that what the lady said about visiting the peninsula last night was just a casual remark.

Never thought that they really have nothing to do today, they can only wander around the island.

Because the lady did not go out, and the entire VIP accommodation area was under martial law, no one else could even enter the building.

The guards didn't have to stick to the door of the suite, so they took turns to go to the beach to take pictures.

Gu Junwan consumed a lot of energy yesterday, and went out to watch the sunrise this morning before dawn, and fell into a deep sleep at this time.

Even Shen Han didn't notice anything when he left the bedroom.

After washing properly, Shen Han changed into the military uniform of the captain of the guard, and came to an open-air garden in the main castle.

Seeing her, Freelot immediately trotted forward: "You are here! I was worried that you would not be able to find this place."

Shen Han really liked Xiao Douding in front of her. She leaned over and hugged him, then raised her feet and continued to walk towards the position where Grand Duke Free was.

"You described it in such detail, and even greeted the servants specially, I think it would be difficult to get lost."

Suddenly being hugged off the ground by the tall and long-legged Shen Han, Freelot felt a kind of joy of being lifted high.

But when he thought that there were other people in the garden who saw this scene, he felt a little embarrassed.

The little boy's cheeks were flushed.

He didn't dare to move on Shen Han's body, so he moved to the other side's ear and whispered: "Grandpa prepared a gift for you, but it's so mysterious, even I don't know what it is."

Shen Han didn't ask much, when she walked up to Grand Duke Fuli, she took the lead in saying hello to him.

Seeing a maid approaching, she handed out little Lotte.

Catherine's eyelids trembled, but she didn't reach out to pick it up.

She came here with the intention of taking the young master elsewhere so that Grand Duke Free could have a good conversation with the guests.

However, since the accident three years ago, the young master has become more averse to physical contact with people.

It had been a long time since Catherine had seen little Lotte sitting in someone else's arms so obediently.

Freelot didn't want to be hugged by his valet.

He struggled to jump to the ground, then grabbed a small bag of fish food from the side table, and ran to the corner of the garden to feed the goldfish.

After Catherine also left, Grand Duke Free signaled Shen Han to sit down.

"Are you still used to living here? If you have any needs, don't be polite."

"I heard that the Freedom Federation pays attention to 'cause and effect' and 'fate'. You have a fate with little Lotte, and you helped him open the knot. The Free family will be your friends forever."

Shen Han was slightly surprised by Grand Duke Free's words.

Before, when she heard Little Lott say that the other party had prepared a gift for her, she thought that the other party invited her to come here to compensate or thank her with money.

But at this moment, the words and attitude of the old man in front of him reveal a kind of sincerity and love that the elder cares for the younger.

For those who expressed kindness to him, Shen Han would always reciprocate with greater kindness.

The two chatted for a while, and quickly changed from a completely unfamiliar relationship to a friend who could try to trust.

At this time, Grand Duke Fury changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Has the time for your wedding with the queen been fixed?"

Hearing the word 'wedding', Shen Han's heart suddenly became a little hot.

But she didn't show a happy expression on her face, she just scratched her face and replied: "Not yet, you also know the current situation of the Freedom Federation, we don't plan to expose the relationship to the public for the time being."

Grand Duke Free nodded without further discussion on this issue.

He took out a palm-sized jewelry box from the storage box on the table, handed it to Shen Han, and said: "Naturally, the queen's wedding should not be hasty, and more time should be reserved for better preparation."

"Don't refuse the things here. Half of my foot has stepped into the graveyard. It is both its honor and my blessing to be able to use this collection of things that have been collected for many years to witness your extraordinary relationship."

After finishing speaking, Grand Duke Free took the initiative to lift the lid of the jewelry box.

Two small golden-green gemstones lie quietly between the flannel, precious and mysterious.

Under the sunlight, a bright band of light swims on the rounded curved surface of the gemstone, like the narrow pupils in the eyes of a civet.

This is an opal that is extremely rare across the planet.

Although Shen Han doesn't have much research on gemstones, he can tell from the size, color and cut of the two gemstones in front of him that they are priceless!

"This gift is too expensive for me to accept."

Shen Han carefully closed the lid of the jewelry box, and then returned it to Grand Duke Free.

To be honest, she really liked the pair of opals, but she really couldn't accept such a gift from the other party.

Grand Duke Free was not surprised at the rejection of the woman in front of him.

What is the vision of the federal empress?To become her alha, it is inevitable and impossible to be a vulgar person.

"Well, if you feel that you won't get paid for nothing, then I will sell it to you at the price you would have collected it."

"You take the things away first. As for the transaction payment, you can pay in installments."

Speaking of this, Grand Duke Fuli smiled again and said, "My lady doesn't lack anything, so if you want to give her something, remember to give her the most thoughtful or the best."

The form of the transaction was acceptable to Shen Han, and she was indeed anxious about the wedding ring, so she agreed to Grand Duke Free's proposal.

While the fun was going on in Free Castle, King Hals, who was in the palace, couldn't sit still.

He originally planned to put some pressure on Gu Junwan during the meeting this afternoon, forcing the other party to make some concessions again, so that the partner he represented could maximize the benefits.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up in the morning, he received word that Grand Duke Free had a long secret conversation with the Federal Empress.

Not only did the queen and her party have no intention of coming out of Free Castle, but the team from the Federal Ministry of Commerce who lived in the Palace Hotel was picked up early in the morning.

Halls thought about it carefully, and broke the water glass in his hand in anger.

There are various indications that the two clearly intend to cooperate.

If the federal empress really hit it off with Grand Duke Free, then what's the matter with me?

Hals felt a toothache when he thought of that old fox of the Grand Duke Fury quietly trying to pick peaches halfway.

If other princes and nobles dare to do this, he can directly use the royal power to teach the other party to be a man!

But the one who suddenly jumped out to make trouble now is Grand Duke Free, and he, the old king, can't help it.

After lunch with an impatient heart, Halls ordered with a dark old face: "Get ready, the team related to the federal energy project, follow me to Free Castle immediately!"

……

3 pm.

Freelot found Shen Han worriedly, and told him that his grandfather and King Hals were arguing in the small auditorium where foreign guests were received.

The quarrel was still very fierce. If the servants didn't stop them, the two of them would rush forward to grab each other's beards!

Shen Han blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Why did those two go to the foreign guest area?"

"Eh, isn't it? They made such a fuss, aren't they worried about causing bad influence?"

Little Lott shook his head, then looked up and said, "Why don't you ask your girlfriend to visit the auditorium?"

After thinking for a while, he added with a trace of determination: "I think the female monarch can suppress such a scene."

Hearing this, Shen Han's ears twitched, feeling a little nervous.

But she said with a distressed face: "In terms of work, I can't call her, have you forgotten, she is my chief."

Although Shen Han didn't know which side her wife was more inclined to cooperate with, she knew that in the game, the more anxious the opponent was, the more she had to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

She wouldn't bother her wife to recharge her batteries at this time!

Freelot asked suspiciously: "Really? Why do I think that as long as it is what you say, the queen will definitely not refuse?"

Shen Han caressed the other person's hair: "Then I can't be proud of being favored."

"Think about it, if you liked a ceiling lamp in the state banquet hall of the palace, would you ask Grand Duke Free to arrange a construction team to retrieve it?"

Freelot imagined the somewhat strange picture in his mind, then shook his head very seriously: "That's not going to happen."
