Chapter 12 That's Not Necessary
Three days later, it was time to set off.

Chu Lichen and his concubines were placed in the former Duke Huguo's mansion that had been abandoned for many years.

What happened here was not caused by Qingxuan's destruction of the country, but that the Lord Protector had admonished Chu Lichen's father to death.

It was probably his death that made the emperor furious at the time, so after his death, the emperor ordered all the people in the Duke's Mansion to be thrown into prison and be executed on a certain day.

Letting Chu Lichen live here at this time is a kind of warning and irony.

Emperor Tianqin sat on the horse at this time, took a deep look back, and then raised his hand.

Zuo Qiuju immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"Send a plate of candied lotus seeds in."

Zuo Qiuju was stunned, but soon he lowered his head in response, and then walked to the carriage with a wooden box with a complicated expression.

He still felt strange yesterday, why His Majesty suddenly ordered the imperial chef to make a food like candied lotus seeds, but he didn't expect it to be for Miss Gu.

But...will women like this kind of food that only children like?

Zuo Qiuju shook his head and sighed heavily.

There is a bit of hatred in the sigh.

It was his negligence, he has followed His Majesty for many years, even if His Majesty doesn't like women, he should be there to supervise.

If he had urged him earlier, His Majesty would not have finally opened his eyes, and the present for the woman was a plate of candied lotus seeds.

He has lived for so long, and he has seen people who give gold and silver, brocade clothes, satin, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but this is the first time he has seen people who give candy lotus seeds.

Emperor Tianqin didn't know, at this moment Zuoqiuju had already made up his mind that when he returned to Tianqin, he collected some various scripts for him to study.

Wu Zhu took the candy lotus seeds and smiled, "Isn't Your Majesty treating you like a girl or a child? You still want to eat candies."

Gu Ruzhen curled her hands into her sleeves, the curtain on the side of the carriage was not closed, she looked over.

It was almost time to set off, and about another hour passed from the noisy crowd to the deserted road.

During the period, she saw many pictures, for example, although the people were wearing plain clothes with many patches on them, their faces were very energetic and their eyes were very bright.

It's like looking forward to the future life, which is no longer lifeless as before.

The road was rough and the carriage was traveling very slowly.

When Gu Ruzhen looked towards the opened curtain of the carriage, Emperor Tianqin didn't feel that the horse was gradually being leveled with the carriage.

From his angle, he could only see the woman's curved and soft chin and half of her jade-like face.

He could see God, since he stepped into this land until now, he has always felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

Those who had felt pain and hatred in their hearts before, the moment they saw her, it seemed that nothing was important.

After a while, the woman seemed to notice something, looked towards him, and looked into his eyes.

On the day Qingxuan broke the city, Emperor Tianqin wore a golden mask.

Rumor has it that Emperor Tianqin was so ugly that he wore a mask to cover his face on the battlefield.

But he is not ugly, even more handsome than Chu Lichen who is famous for his looks.

The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified.

She searched hard in her memory, and she was sure that she had never seen this face before, but somehow, she felt that these eyes were familiar.

The man's eyes paused on her face for a while, and he drove the horse closer, his voice was low and hoarse, "Are you afraid?"

He wondered what she was thinking at this moment.

Among all the emotions, maybe one or two of them exist because of his appearance.

Gu Ruzhen asked back, "What are you afraid of?"

Although her face looked indifferent and calm, Gu Ruzhen still couldn't help stretching out her fingertips and clutching her sleeves nervously.

She is not as fearless as she seems, but sometimes, no matter who or what she faces, she has to act as if she is not afraid.

"Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"

Gu Ruzhen looked at him steadfastly, and suddenly chuckled after a while.

Emperor Tianqin raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to speak.

"If His Majesty is really against us, what can I do?"

Even if she didn't go out these few days, she could still hear the palace maid whispering.

Emperor Tianqin brought a woman and even brought the woman's family back to Tianqin. She didn't understand why.

But how can that be?
The mayfly shaking the tree is ridiculous.

If the person in front of her was not Emperor Tianqin but Chu Lichen, she might be able to figure out a way to deal with it.

But he was Emperor Tianqin, even if he had never seen him before, he had heard of it through word of mouth.

How can an emperor who used eight years to gradually expand the territory of Tianqin until it was unified, be a brave and foolhardy person.

"Besides..." she continued, "I don't have anything precious, and His Majesty needs to think hard about it."

The corners of Emperor Tianqin's lips were raised upwards, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were also bent, looking very happy.

It was rare for him to be so happy, so Zuo Qiuju, who turned his head from time to time, bit his tongue in shock.

Because he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb Emperor Tianqin, he could only cover his mouth with both hands.

"That's not necessarily the case." Emperor Tianqin didn't wear armor, nor did he wear a dragon robe, but only a black robe.

If you only look at his back, you might think he is a handsome young man.

But when you see his face, you will feel that your perception is wrong. Even if you don't have armor and dragon robes, you won't make people think that he is a boy.

To say that he is not a teenager does not mean that he is old, but because compared to the immaturity of a teenager, he has become a man who can stand upright.

The eyes that looked at him did not hide their arrogance and sharpness at all, and when they looked at her, they always showed warmth intentionally or unintentionally.

His dominance is engraved in his bones, but years of restraint allow him to show gentleness.

After leaving these words, Emperor Tianqin drove his horse forward, and soon disappeared.

There were only Gu Ruzhen and Wu Zhu in the carriage.

When they were talking, Wu Zhu didn't dare to gasp and stood aside, trying to reduce the sense of presence.

Although she had the guts to escape from her family, had the guts to disguise herself as a man to enter the barracks, and single-handedly went to the enemy general to pick off the opponent's head, but she really didn't have the guts to look at His Majesty.

When she met his gaze, she couldn't help lowering her head.

This is an unconscious surrender from the depths of her heart. She is afraid of His Majesty, and deeply admires His Majesty in her heart.

So Wu Zhu also admired Gu Ruzhen who didn't change his face when he was talking to Emperor Tianqin.

When he stopped for a rest in the middle, Cui Shao quietly poked his head out to look aside while feeding the horses, and his ears were also pricked up alertly.

He bumped Wei Shengsi hard, "What do you think His Majesty is thinking?"

Wei Shengsi didn't notice it for a while, and was hit by such a strong force and fell directly to the ground.

He made an extremely fake smile, and then stood up slowly with his hands on the ground.

After enduring it, Wei Shengsi still didn't show his anger.
