Empress Shen Gongjiao

Chapter 970 Opportunities Are Not Always Available

Gu Quan was slightly taken aback, but stopped and didn't turn around for a while, as if waiting for her next words.

But he never turned around and fell into Lianruo's eyes, that's impatience.

She took a deep breath, and then exhaled lightly. Since her back was facing him, he didn't see her tense movements now. After she walked in front of him, she had returned to her previous calmness and expressionless expression. A face as gentle as water and as cold as water.

Gu Quan felt that so many adjectives were suitable for her. If she had to make a summary, it would be the word "cold".

Anyway, when she was facing him, she was always so expressionless.

Even if it will be revealed from time to time, it is just intolerance and bitterness, as well as... helplessness and guilt—when he once rejected him.

"What?" Seeing that she stood in front of him but refused to speak, Gu Quan finally broke the silence.

"That... You recently found a new one... Have you taken a fancy to any girl recently?"

After stumbling and pretending to be easy to ask such a sentence, Lian Ruo just wanted to slap herself, wishing to bite off her own tongue.She quickly answered again: "If not, I actually..."

"Well, there is."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Quan interrupted her expressionlessly.

"The daughter of Chen Shangshu's family, and the daughter of Li Shilang's family, both of them intend to betroth their daughters to me recently. I think...they are both good."

Lian Ruo was surprised, her delicate eyebrows slowly furrowed, so fast?
And still two?Does a person have two hearts? When did he become such a person?Does he also want to fill the mansion like those high-ranking officials and want an entire "backyard"?
Lian Ruo bit her lips, "Then do you like them now?" She felt aggrieved and sad, could it be that what he said about liking at the beginning was just spiel, and he had already let her go in such a short time.Not only that, but have you talked about marriage with other women?

Although she was the one who rejected him at the beginning, why is she still so uncomfortable now...

Lian Ruo felt that she was nothing more than that, a bad woman.Don't cherish when you have it, but want to get it back after you lose it...

Seeing her seldom showing an annoyed little woman's posture, Gu Quan squinted his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So what if you like it, so what if you don't like it?" Asked casually, Gu Quan's black eyes narrowed slightly, and all his emotions were hidden deeply by him, "Today, you don't want to tell me , you have figured it out and plan to leave the palace with me, right?"

Although Lianruo was a little ashamed to be talked about as the center of the matter, she didn't feel embarrassed.

Just as he was about to nod while clutching his palms, the smile on the corner of Gu Quan's mouth suddenly turned cold, "I planned to wait for the emperor to go back in Longyin Palace, but now I have waited for the imperial concubine, and realized that I have no chance , That's why you thought of me? What do you think of me, Lian Ruo, eh?"

A malicious and mocking laugh.

"Opportunities are not always available. You refused when I asked you, remember?"

Lian Ruo's pupils shrank suddenly, her face turned pale, but her usual calmness and self-restraint did not allow her to show the slightest retreat and cowardice at this time, "Master Gu, you are thinking too much. You and I just met by chance today. , I was just concerned about Mr. Gu's recent life, but Mr. Gu's words made me see my self-indulgence."
