THERE ARE NO CHAPTER 263 AND 264
THIS CHAPTER CONTINUES FROM CHAPTER 262.
In the end, Feng Guang felt a deep satisfaction for getting Gu Yan into bed with her.
An hour later, everyone saw their Empress being carried back by Prince Qian. The Empress raised her hand to cover her eyes, her face and neck flushed pink, clearly embarrassed. In contrast, Prince Qian looked refreshed and composed. If you could overlook that his clothes were soaked, you’d think they had just been out for a casual stroll…
But no one believed that.
Gu Yan scanned the crowd with a glance, and immediately, everyone lowered their heads, trembling, too afraid to look up again.
Feng Guang, with a fierce tone, ordered, “Put me down.”
“Your Majesty, why the rush? I’m just worried you’re too weak to walk,” Gu Yan said with a smile, warm and charming.
The onlookers caught those three words—”too weak”—and felt uncomfortable.
She choked up, glaring at him, “Are you childish?”
“Your Majesty often says that having a youthful mindset is a good thing. Upon reflection, it isn’t such a bad thing,” he replied, still smiling.
She kept a stern face. “Gu Yan, I command you to put me down.”
He lowered his gaze respectfully. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
As Feng Guang was set down, she wobbled and nearly fell again, only to be caught back into his arms.
Gu Yan leisurely said, “Your Majesty’s waist is not well, you should be careful.”
Oh, the Empress also had a bad back…
The crowd couldn’t help but lower their heads even further, feeling like they had just witnessed a major event.
“Xiao Wo!” Feng Guang shouted angrily. “Come help me!”
“Yes!” Xiao Wo rushed over to take Feng Guang out of Gu Yan’s arms.
Gu Yan casually addressed Xiao Wo, “Her Majesty’s legs are weak right now. Take good care of her.”
Weak legs!
This was explosive!
The onlookers couldn’t keep their faces from turning bright red.
“Gu Yan, you bastard!” This was the last thing Feng Guang shouted before getting into the carriage.
Her imperial dignity!
Gu Yan seemed not to hear it. He turned to the soldiers and commanders. “Let’s set off.”
“Yes, Prince.” The commander bowed and followed orders.
“Master Ke,” Gu Yan called, turning to the side where Ke Huai stood.
“Prince,” Ke Huai replied.
He had originally been riding in Feng Guang’s carriage, but since she hadn’t invited him to sit with her before she boarded, he was left standing there, unsure of where to go.
Gu Yan smiled faintly. “Her Majesty needs to rest, Master Ke should ride with me.”
“Yes.” Ke Huai bowed his head in agreement.
Three days later, after crossing a vast wilderness, the group finally arrived at the military camp at the border.
Lan Tingrong and the soldiers had been waiting at the camp’s gate for a long time. As soon as they saw the people from the carriage, everyone knelt and said, “We greet Your Majesty.”
Xiao Wo helped Feng Guang down from the carriage, and from the next carriage, Gu Yan and Ke Huai also disembarked. Feng Guang gave Gu Yan a casual glance and raised her hand, saying, “Everyone, no need for formalities. Please rise.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” the soldiers stood up.
Feng Guang looked at the man leading the soldiers. He had sharp brows and bright eyes, his strong aura and silver-white armor made him look exceptionally handsome. With his strong presence, he probably would have caused quite a stir among the women.
“Are you Lan Tingrong, General Lan?”
“Replying to Your Majesty, I am Lan Tingrong.”
“Mm, you are quite good-looking,” Feng Guang nodded approvingly. “The conditions at the border are harsh. You’ve led troops in battle for many years, you must be tired.”
Lan Tingrong answered without arrogance, “Protecting the country is an honor for us. Moreover, many in the camp have it harder than I do. I do not dare complain.”
“Not bad, not bad. Your awareness is high,” she said, though inwardly, she knew he had been stationed at the border because he didn’t want to marry into their royal family.
Tsk, he didn’t want to marry, and neither did she.
Gu Yan stepped forward. “Your Majesty is leading the expedition in person and has brought along the necessary doctors and supplies. What are your plans for the next steps, General?”
Bro what just happened 😭 I dislike this arc so far
