Chapter 197 Want to Stay

This person is still as gentle as when we first met, and also as regrettable as ever.

"Alright, as long as Guard Xu doesn't mind, the Marquis's residence welcomes him anytime."

Seeing Luo Yu's current condition, Gu Shuyan didn't want to think the worst, but Luo Yu's medical skills were so superb that even he himself said so, so she was afraid that the illness really couldn't be cured.

"Thank you, Miss Gu." Luo Yu said, and was about to have someone see the guest out when Gu Shuyan stood up.

"Your Highness, may I ask if I may ask why your body has become like this?"

Gu Shuyan simply couldn't believe that Luo Yu would suddenly fall ill; there must be some inside story that outsiders didn't know.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu was taken aback at first, then smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps my fate has run its course!"

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Shuyan to leave or not, he had Xu Feng help him to bed.

"Then Shuyan will not disturb the young master's rest any longer."

Gu Shuyan didn't press the matter since the other party was unwilling to say more, and she could clearly hear the joy in Luo Yu's last words.

Yes, it was joy. He was waiting for the day Luo Yu would disappear, or rather, he was waiting for the day he would die.

After Gu Shuyan left, Luo Yu sat up from the bed.

"Young Master, how did you know Miss Gu would come?"

Xu Feng had been holding these words in for a long time, and finally saying them made him feel much better.

Luo Yu smiled upon hearing this, "Because I just know."

A reply that wasn't really an answer, yet it revealed boundless trust in Gu Shuyan.

"From now on, you'd better pay more attention to Miss Gu, or I won't let you off the hook."

"But Your Highness, I wish to follow you."

Although Xu Feng had promised Luo Yu that he would stay to protect Gu Shuyan, the only person he truly wanted to follow was Luo Yu.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu's smile vanished instantly, and the atmosphere became tense. After a long while, Luo Yu finally said, "I can't take you with me."

In fact, Xu Feng was well aware of Luo Yu's concerns. As the prince's bodyguard, he had been by the prince's side since childhood, so naturally most people in the capital knew him.

Luo Yu has covered his face with a mask since childhood. Many people in the capital recognize his mask, but no one recognizes Luo Yu's face. In other words, once Luo Yu leaves the capital, no one will know who he is, but as long as Xu Feng walks around the capital, people will immediately recognize him.

"Your subordinate obeys."

Xu Feng would naturally not let Luo Yu be in danger; he had only said that in a moment of emotion.

He had been by Luo Yu's side for more than ten years since he entered the manor at the age of ten, and Xu Feng was really reluctant to part with him.

"Don't worry, you'll be back soon."

This was Luo Yu's promise to Xu Feng, and Xu Feng immediately nodded heavily.

After leaving the Duke of Anguo's mansion, Gu Shuyan kept her head down and didn't speak. Gu Jin assumed she was saddened that Luo Yu was dying at such a young age.

"Ah, what a pity that such a good person as Prince Luo is gone. Who would have thought that just a few months ago he was telling me he wanted to marry you? Life is so unpredictable!"

If Luo Yu hadn't been in such poor health, he might have agreed to the marriage.

As Gu Jin thought this, he felt even more sorry for Luo Yu.

However, Gu Shuyan had a vague feeling that this matter was too strange. Putting aside the disharmonious feeling she had after entering the Duke's mansion, even Xu Feng seemed very odd.

Facing his dying former master, Xu Feng showed no sign of grief, and he did not object when Luo Yu asked him to follow him.
