Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 481 Will You Still Like Me?

Lu Rui said affirmatively.

He believed that no matter how much time passed, she would be able to recognize him.

However, after talking to Bai Xuan, he touched his face uncomfortably.

What if she doesn't recognize it?

During the past few years in the Holy Land, his temperament had changed. He was no longer as timid and submissive as before, not daring to raise his head.

Even when he got angry during court sessions, the people below would unconsciously lower their heads. He knew that if he continued like before, he would definitely not be able to intimidate those people.

Lu Rui's aura became more restrained, and he tried his best to return to his original appearance.

But as a superior, even if he does nothing, just standing there, people can feel a sense of pressure.

Lu Rui was a little discouraged.

Bai Xuan noticed that her brother was shaking his head and sighing, so she asked him, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you also nervous?"

Lu Rui coughed lightly and looked out the car window.

"How...how is it possible?"

But his slightly trembling fingers still revealed his emotions.

Would she still like herself now?

This question has been lingering in his mind.

Inside the imperial palace of Daning Kingdom.

Ever since the Queen fainted, the Sixth Princess has often appeared before her.

The palace maids secretly admired the Sixth Princess's filial piety, saying that they had seen with their own eyes that the Sixth Princess had always been guarding the Queen's bedside, personally feeding her medicine and taking care of her.

It was late at night again when the Sixth Princess came out of the Queen's palace, the smell of medicine still lingering on her body.

She was waiting. Now there were only two children left by the two former princesses in the palace. As long as she could control them, this position would be hers alone.

The Sixth Princess hurried back to her palace, secretly calculating in her heart how long it would take for the people from Tianji Pavilion to deal with Gu Qingyuan.

She felt that her mother was really confused.

The Gu family holds military power, and they cannot rest easy until they get rid of her.

But the Queen Mother trusts the Gu family so much. Isn’t she afraid that they will take the opportunity to rebel?

The Sixth Princess changed into a nightgown and left the palace without letting anyone follow her.

She first came to the general's mansion and easily jumped onto the roof.

After a round of inspection, the Sixth Princess left.

The next day.

Jing Qianfan smiled when he received the news from Tianji Pavilion that the Sixth Princess urged him to take action as soon as possible.

Let him kill the master?

He would rather deal with those who wanted to attack his master with his own hands.

However, since he had accepted the mission from the Sixth Princess, at the very least, he had to make the Sixth Princess believe that they had indeed taken action against the master. As for whether they were successful or not, that was another matter.

He asked that person to go back with the Sixth Princess to report the news, saying that action would be taken soon.

The man urged, "You'd better hurry up, otherwise, the Sixth Princess will ask you to answer."

Jing Qianfan said with a cynical expression, "A mission like assassinating Young Master Gu, do you think it's just a joke? Don't I have to find the right time?"

"Anyway, if you can't complete it, forget about getting the subsequent money!"

After leaving a hurried message, the person sent by the Sixth Princess went back to report.

Jing Qianfan stood there with a cold look on his face.

Then he took off the mask on his face and returned to the Gu family.

Gu Qingyuan was sleeping soundly and felt that there was someone beside her.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Jing Qianfan nestled in her neck, rubbing his furry head against her, just like a puppy acting coquettishly.

"Owner……"

Gu Qingyuan pushed his head away and asked, "Why are you here?"

"The Sixth Princess's people are here to urge us."

Jing Qianfan lowered his voice and spoke in her ear in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Gu Qingyuan became a little more sober.

After saying that, Jing Qianfan put his hands on her waist, bringing his body closer to hers.

"hot."

The weather was already hot, and with a body pressed against her, Gu Qingyuan pushed him away without mercy.

The ice cubes placed in the house to cool down had long melted.

The window was opened, and a breeze blew in, but it couldn't blow away the heat in the house.

"Did you climb in through the window?" Gu Qingyuan asked him.

"correct."

Jing Qianfan quickly pressed himself against her again, as if he was hungry for skin.

When he came over, he saw the window was wide open and thought the owner was inviting him in.

Gu Qingyuan pushed him away again without mercy, "Hey, stay away from me."

She got up from the bed and poured herself a glass of water.

Jing Qian sat on her bed. When Gu Qingyuan finished drinking the water and went back, he was still sitting there.

She couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him down.

"Go back to your room."

She was sleeping soundly but was woken up by the heat.

It's only midnight now, and it's still early before dawn.

But Jing Qianfan, who was kicked down, yawned and said, "I'll rest here tonight."

After saying that, he just lay down on the ground.

Gu Qingyuan felt that he was like a piece of dog-skin plaster. Once he stuck to her, she couldn't get rid of him even if she wanted to.

Forget it, since he is willing to lie on the ground, let him lie on the ground.

Gu Qingyuan glanced at the person on the ground, then lay back down and closed his eyes.

But after she fell asleep again, Jing Qianfan observed the surrounding environment. He was now worried that the Sixth Princess would secretly send other people to attack the master.

After making sure it was safe, he lay down beside her again, picked up a strand of her hair and entwined it with his fingertips.

In the dream, Gu Qingyuan felt a pain in her scalp.

Jing Qianfan couldn't sleep, so he pulled out her hair, braided it with his own, and tied it around his wrist.

In this way, the master is always by his side.

Early in the morning, Jing Qianfan stretched lazily and left her room.

When Chunfen came to wake up Gu Qingyuan, he saw Jing Qianfan coming out of her room.

She muttered, "Hey, when did Master Jing come here again?"

When waking up Gu Qingyuan, Chunfen didn't dare to speak too loudly.

After all, the young master was in a bad mood when he woke up, and she was afraid that she would suffer.

......

The closer he got to Daning Kingdom, the more nervous Lu Rui became.

After traveling for several days, Bai Xuan, who was very excited at the beginning, is now fast asleep leaning against the carriage.

As they were about to arrive, Bai Xuan woke up in a turbulent moment.

She sat up groggily and rubbed her eyes.

"Brother, are you here yet?"

"almost."

Bai Xuan quickly sat up straight and looked outside.

"If the Empress Dowager saw us, she would definitely be surprised!"

Bai Xuan couldn't wait to meet Gu Qingyuan.

Oh, by the way, she also brought a lot of good things for the emperor’s sister-in-law, but unfortunately the bag was too small, otherwise, she would have wanted to move the entire palace here!

Lu Rui didn't say anything, trying to adjust his mood.

Normally, if a guest comes from another country, he should first go to the palace to pay his respects to the empress on the first day, and then be placed in the Sifang Pavilion.
