Chapter 16 He's Finally Back

can't spare time to entertain guests."Even facing the Queen, Jun Ye Xuan's cold aura remained unabated.Before the Empress could speak, he said again, "Father, Mother, your son will take his leave!"Hav...Gu Yunxi immediately remembered, the wedding night, the madness of that night.

The man behind her, he pulled her face around and kissed her deeply.

He kissed her deeply and passionately.

She wanted to glance at him, but he didn't allow it.

Every time she wanted to look back at him, she would be tossed about by his terrifying power and scream uncontrollably.

She could never quite make out his face, nor the depths in his eyes...

At this moment, Gu Yunxi looked at Jun Yexuan. Her slender and thin body trembled slowly.

He suddenly scooped her up in his arms.

Gu Yunxi was so frightened that she pushed him away with a palm: "Don't touch me!"

Jun Ye Xuan had no defenses, his chest taking her palm strike head-on.

A thread of blood immediately slid down from the corner of his lips.

Gu Yunya woke up suddenly, then remembered that when he used his internal energy to suppress the medicinal properties tonight, he had already sustained an internal injury.

She didn't know why, but even though she was weak, she could still gather her true energy in the midst of panic.

"You..."

Jun Ye Xuan threw her onto the bed, not lightly nor heavily, making her wince a little in pain.

She scrambled to her feet, but saw him walk over to the bench where she had just been sitting and lie down.

As it turns out, he picked her up and threw her here because he planned to sleep on the bench tonight.

She still thought...

Gu Yuxi bit her lip, staring at his back, her heart still pounding with anxiety.

This jerk's words just now scared her.

Fortunately, his breathing quickly became even after he lay down.

It seems like he fell asleep.

Gu Yunchi looked at his cold and hard back, her heart still on guard.

She thought she would be sleepless tonight, but she didn't know that in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she fell asleep.

Last night, I had a very long dream.

I dreamt of her first encounter with Chu Li.

A year ago, she who came from the 21st century just crossed over to ancient times, becoming Gu Yunxi, the ninth miss of General's Mansion with the same name.

Not long after, General Gu returned to his hometown with all the young masters and ladies of the General's Mansion for a family visit.

Along the way, they were scattered by bandits.

Gu Yuxi was kidnapped by bandits.

At the brink of death, a lone warrior burst into the fray, his boots stained with the blood of countless enemies. He rescued her from the chaos.

At that time, Gu Yunxi was injured and couldn't see anything clearly.

I only saw his armor stained red with blood, and the bloody greatsword in his hand.

Later, she fainted.

When I woke up, I saw Jun Chu Li in white, guarding by my bedside day and night.

A year later, Jun Chu left proposed to the General's Mansion, and Old General Gu readily agreed.

Thus, there was the wedding night.

Tonight, for some reason, Chu Li in my dream always had a face that was impossible to see clearly.

He stood in a vast expanse of mist, his figure flickering in and out of view.

Gu Yunxi chased after him, finally catching up just as he was about to disappear. She grabbed him with a firm hold.

"Chu Li…" she softly called out.

In a white robe, Jun Chuli turned his head and smiled at her: “Are you calling me”

Gu Yunxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Without a beauty mark, that smile was cold and distant, profound and unfathomable.

He is Jun Ye Xuan!

"Chu Li!" Gu Yunxi suddenly sat up.

It's dawn.

The maidservant stayed by her side: “Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has instructed that once you wake up, please go have your meal as soon as possible. Later on, you must go to the Taihe Palace for a blessing ceremony.”

Gu Yunxi raised her hand and wiped it across her forehead, which was covered in sweat.

Take another look at the room, Jun Ye Xuan is already gone.

After a while, she let out a long sigh and, with the maids attending to her, got out of bed.

My limbs felt weak, and my body was still not feeling well.

Under the service of the maids, Gu Yunxi changed into a new set of clothes and tidied herself up.

After that, stepping lightly, she arrived at the pond with lotus flowers.

By the clear lotus pond, palace attendants had set up porcelain tables and chairs.

At a glance, one could see a handsome man sitting at a table with his back to him.

In that white clothing, he looked handsome and elegant as the wind blew by the pond. He was very good-looking.

Gu Yunci's eyes lit up, and the anxiety that had plagued her all night finally subsided.

He's back!

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over: "Chu Li!"me over early tomorrow."Jun Ye Xuan and him live here as "husband and wife," so they are inevitably required to sleep in the same bedroom at night.She was afraid that she wouldn't live to see the sunr...
