Chapter 386 (1/2)
”Slaves dare not,” said Xu Hanfei, still without fear. ”Emperor, slaves are the children born in Xirong by people of the state of Qin. Later, they returned to the state of Qin. Therefore, slaves are both people of Xirong and people of the state of Qin.”
”There are two nationalities. You are either a citizen of the state of Qin or a fine work of Xirong.” Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes dangerously. ”Your identity is very dangerous in the state of Qin. No wonder you have to be brought into the palace to hide. You can really take advantage of people's hearts.”
”I didn't make use of the lay,” Xu Hanfei shook his head gently. ”Emperor, don't you think the status of a slave is very strange? Haven't you seen someone with such status elsewhere?”
”There are many people like you, but no one has ever said that he is both a Qin and a Xirong.” Chu Zongge rubbed his fingers. ”You... Mean Chu Changqing? Do you know Chu Changqing?”
Xu Han carried his hand behind his back like him. A meaningful smile came up on his lips, ”the slave not only knew Chu Changqing. He also knew Princess Gu, but also general Kur. There were seven daughters in his family, all of whom were the pearls of his palm. He led the troops to the state of Qin for his daughter to marry the royal family.”
”I don't need you to say that,” Chu Zongge's eyes darkened. ”I want to know more about Chu Changqing.”
Xu Hanfei was stunned. The emperor smiled and said, ”does the emperor know that emperor Xirong sent envoys this time with a princess in order to marry the emperor and make her the queen of the state of Qin? Doesn't the emperor want to know about Princess Gu?”
”I'm not interested in her,” Chu Zongge's eyes couldn't see any emotion, ”but Chu Changqing's face from the state of Qin, I just don't understand him. Who is he, what background, and how can he mix with Xirong people.”
Xu Hanfei raised his lips and said, ”the slave understands that Chu Changqing is what the emperor wants to know most.”
Chu Zongge's pupils tightened, ”do you have any deep understanding of him, and how do you know his origin? Do you have any connection with Xirong?”
Xu Hanfei's lips flashed a bitter smile, ”in fact, it's not a connection. Chu Changqing is the slave's biological brother. He is the slave's brother.”
Gu Zhen woke up with the sun rising. The bright sunshine poured in from the window like a tide. Some people's eyes shook. She narrowed her eyes slightly and blocked the light in front of her with her hand, but she accidentally smelled the delicious food.
Chu Changqing took a coat and put it on her shoulder. With a faint smile, he said, ”you finally woke up. I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow?”
”How could I sleep so long that you didn't come and wake me up,” Gu Jijiao said angrily. ”Isn't this your meal?”
”This may be the last sunny day in winter. I'm not sure it will be rain and snow,” Chu Changqing sighed gently. ”I'm afraid you can't get used to the food here, so I cook by yourself. It's the princess. It's such a spoiled child.”
”If it weren't for you and your father, I wouldn't be so spoiled,” Gu Gu took a piece of diced chicken and chewed it in his mouth for a few times, with a satisfied smile on his lips. ”I don't know how long I haven't eaten the food you cooked yourself. Now I just feel full of aroma. You should cook for me often in the future. I don't think I'm used to the food in the imperial palace.”
”Don't be too delicate. The imperial dining room in the imperial palace is made for the emperor. Do you still think you can't get used to it?” Chu Changqing couldn't help reaching out and touching her head. ”You'd better be good. Men like good wives.”
”Isn't that a obedient pet? I'm not a pet. If he likes obedient, just find obedient ones. Don't waste my time,” Gu Gu frowned. ”The woman of the state of Qin is really worried. Even her unique characteristics have been erased, but she has become a dog in her husband's house.”
”That's why I like people like you,” Chu Changqing's eyes became more and more gentle. ”I like people like you.”
Gu Gu stretched out his finger and poked him in the chest. ”Then you must not betray me in the future. I don't allow you to like other women. You are my own from beginning to end.”
”What about you,” Chu Changqing held her finger in her palm, ”will you fall in love with the emperor after you marry him and have other feelings for him after giving birth to his child?”
”I will never, because you are the only one in my heart. I will only love you in this life,” Gu's green eyes twinkle with a determined light. ”If you don't believe it, I can swear to you now. I will never betray you. I like the emperor or any other man, whether it's giving birth to a child or...”
Chu Changqing hurriedly blocked her lips and refused to allow her to speak nonsense. Their ambiguous breath lingered between their lips and teeth, as if they were going to burn out wisps of cigarettes. Gu Gu swallowed a breath and her eyes were full of lingering affection. A vague voice came from her throat, ”I want us to stay together. I don't want to be separated from you.”
