117 Was He Worried About His Fiancé? (2/2)

Whatever happened afterwards was beyond his prediction. Luo Xinglan committed suicide by jumping off a cliff when Gu Xijiu was one year old. And when she turned three years old, she was diagnosed with weak body type, and even developed rashes. She eventually became the joke of the entire Feixing Kingdom and had made the marriage an embarrassment…

The emperor looked at his son Rong Yan. He was seated by himself, holding a cup with pale fingertips; he was nervous about something. He was peeking at Gu Xijiu,and occasionally stole glances at her secretly…

The emperor snorted silently with indignance. Ever since the marriage was forged, that brat liked to make noises in front of him about the despair of receiving garbage and had made him regret thoroughly.

Now it seems that he was not entirely cold toward Gu Xijiu.

Was he worried about his fiancé?

He had every reason to worry. If Gu Xijiu lost the bet, not only could she not get married to Rong Yan, she had to have her tongue cut out…

Such bet was too cruel for a young lady!

The Emperor glanced at Gu Xixi in annoyance. That Tianwen Saint was beautiful; she wore a white robe just like the fairies of the Nine Heavens, which was divine and graceful.

The emperor was impressed when he first met her. But that pretty face of hers was emotionless all the time, like a lifeless ice sculpture that lacked vibrancy. One would feel tired after a long look at her.

Was not it true that doctors treated their patients like their own children?

The Tianwen Saint was furious that she had treated a young kid the way she did. She was uncommonly grudging…

This bet was not favorable to Gu Xijiu. The emperor was worried about the young lady. Perhaps if she lost, he would plead for her with his powers?
