Gu Lingsheng was slightly disappointed when she saw him whom she had longed for again.

He didn't notice that he was carefully dressed, nor did he notice that he had put on new clothes. All the questions he asked were official business in the south, and he didn't even say a word about me.

Why should I care about him? Is this the love that my mother once said? Have I fallen in love with him?

Does he love me? I don't know!

Everyone looks down on me, but he is willing to talk to me.

Everyone kept a distance from me, but he was willing to see me off and welcome me.

If he really loves me, can I marry him? He obviously has a wife...

I have never been loved by anyone in my life, and this may be my fate.

Thinking of this, tears flowed down unsatisfactoryly.

When she fell asleep, she had a dream.

I dreamed that I was sitting on the throne belonging to the Emperor of Great Xia, overlooking everyone.

The ministers below were just brightly colored mice, and the arrogant princes and proud ministers knelt before her.

At this time, her brother came out of nowhere, pointed at her, and laughed loudly. The princes and ministers also giggled and covered their smiling faces with the back of their hands.

"You are just a woman, how can He Dehe inherit the throne of Daxia?"

She tried to cover her eyes with her hands in fear, she wanted to escape, she wanted to leave Zhongzhou City.

"Don't hurt her." Qi Rushong's voice sounded in the dream. "She is the princess of Daxia, and she is the one I love!"

"The one you love?" She whispered, "Take me away, I don't want to stay in this cage for a moment. Take me to the Southern Haunted Forest, a place where no one knows us.

I don't mind your status, and I don't mind whether you have a wife. As long as you are willing, I will be with you for the rest of your life."

At this time, she heard her father and brother making harsh laughter again, laughing at her obscenity and her meanness.

When someone touched her shoulder lightly, causing her to wake up immediately, the laughter of her father and brother was still echoing in her ears. Could it be that this hand was also part of the nightmare? Gu Lingsheng screamed, and the owner of the hand, her nanny, turned pale with fright.

, six gods have no master.

Hearing the screams, several heavily armed royal guards broke in.

"What happened? Princess!"

I couldn't show my fear in front of them, so Gu Lingsheng put away her disheveled hair and said, "It's okay, you can go out."

"As you command!"

"You scared me, Yue'er!" Her nurse comforted her, "What nightmare did you have?"

Gu Lingsheng cried again, "It's okay," he said.

The wet nurse brought a cup of ginseng tea and said, "Take a sip to calm down the shock."

Gu Lingsheng took a sip and returned it.

The night wind knocked on the narrow window, making a "squeaking" sound, which made her feel strangely peaceful.

"Will anyone love me?" she asked aloud.

"It's natural," the nanny told her, "Why do you ask this? Do you have someone you love?"

"I don't know!" Gu Lingsheng's voice was a little muddy.

As someone who had been there, the nanny could naturally tell what the girl was thinking, "Who is that person? Is it Prince Qi?" "No, I don't want to talk about him."

"Yue'er, it's human nature for a man to love a woman. There's nothing to be ashamed of." The nanny smiled, "It's really amazing that Prince Qi won the [Presentation Trial] at such a young age and was crowned the King of the South.

things.

It is said that he also passed the test of the head of the Demon Hunting Sect and obtained the true biography of Mr. Ye. Such a promising young man, even my mother-in-law, I have deep admiration for him."

"I won't tell you in the future. Nanny, don't say it again!" The girl lowered her head and blushed with embarrassment.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it." The nanny said as she took out a piece of paper from her belt and handed it to her. "It's just that a young man named Qi sent a letter to the trustee.

Said it was for you."

"What? Give it to me quickly!" Gu Lingsheng grabbed the letter and opened it expectantly.

The letter clearly stated:

In the prosperous and troubled times, all the world is dedicated to you. The green water is just for you to return to the fields and take off your armor.

I fell in love with you at first sight. Yesterday there were many people talking and they didn't dare to reveal my true feelings.

Tomorrow at You time, we invite you to visit the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of the city to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

"When did this happen?"

"Just when you were crying silently."

She squeezed the letter tightly, feeling filled with emotion.

In the southern border, she had seen an official document signed by Qi Rusong. This signature indeed seemed to be his...

Is this what he really thinks? Does he really love me?

But he has a wife, how could he...

He once said that his wife was a poor girl who was rescued from the ghost forest and later got married under the arrangement of the demon clan.

Maybe he only has responsibility for his wife, not love.

Maybe, he really loves me! Gu Lingsheng comforted herself like this.

"Nanny, who gave you the letter?"

"Prince Qi personally sent it."

It's definitely him...

"Nanny, he has an appointment with me tomorrow..." Gu Lingsheng asked, "What should I do?

"Yue'er, listen to your heart."

She mustered up her courage and asked, "How should I reply to him?"

"The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Replying to me will only attract attention."

She showed a smile and said, "God bless him, he didn't lie to me!"

~~~~~Separating line~~~~

Qi Rusong sat cross-legged, trying to concentrate on cultivating the power of [Fire Spirit].

But no matter how hard he tried, he was always restless.

What does the letter that the second prince asked me to send yesterday mean? Why did he have to do it for me?

He always felt that there was something strange in this, but he couldn't put it in words.

When the door was knocked again, his right eye jumped, which was not a good sign.

The person who came was the personal bodyguard of the second prince. The other person saluted him and said: "The second prince asked you to go to the City God's Temple on the outskirts of the city to pick up something at the same time. Once this is completed, the bet between him and you will be cancelled."

Too sudden, too simple, not like Guyang’s style!

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must accept it.

"I understand, I'll leave immediately."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to leave. The Second Prince asked me to remind you that you must go alone and bring your weapons with you..."

Qi Rusong glanced at him, but the other person's eyes dodge, and then he quickly left.

"There must be something weird."

When the appointed time was about to come, Qi Rusong put on the dragon armor to fight with blood, carried the demon sword Long Guang on his back, and walked out of his residence.

The suburbs of Lingnan City in the south are like a bright and clear garden. The shadows of tall redwood trees spill into the stream. Birds sing loudly in their nests in the forest, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The Chenghuang Temple in Zhongzhou City is a different story. The Chenghuang Temple has been abandoned and is now overgrown with weeds.

The dim temple stands majestically on its own, with thousand-year-old trees lying around, exuding the smell of moisture and decay. There are no redwoods growing here, and the forest is composed of gray-green pine trees, sturdy oak trees, and old iron trees.

Here, thick and thick black tree trunks jostle each other, twisted branches create a dense and towering treetop overhead, and deformed and twisted roots wrestle with each other underground.

Don’t know what to get and who to get it from?

When Gu Lingsheng saw him, Qi Rusong was sitting quietly on the moss-covered rock with a complicated mood. The demon sword's dragon light was lying on his knees, and the pool water as dark as eternal night washed the sword's body.

The humus accumulated over thousands of years thickly covered the land of the sacred forest, absorbing the sound of her footsteps. Qi Rushong did not notice her arrival.

"Rusong?" she called softly.

Today, Gu Lingsheng specially chose the green silk dress that the Five Kings wore when discussing matters, which might remind him of something.

He then looked up at her. "Princess?" His tone was full of shock, "Why are you here?"

She didn't understand why he asked this question. "Didn't you invite me here?"

"Did I ask you on a date?" Qi Rushong asked in confusion.
