"What did you say?" Gu Rong looked at Mr. Lu in disbelief, "You are not the son of the prince?"
"That's right." Mr. Lu took her into the thatched house and pointed to the old, moldy table and bed inside. "This is my home, Miss Gu. Didn't you ask me to take you away? Are you willing to live here with me? Although the life here is not as good as your life with the Fu family, as long as you follow me, I will go hunting in the mountains every day and I will never let you go hungry."
Gu Rong took two steps back, holding her chest. She said in panic, "No, no, I don't want to live here."
She had suffered a lot in the past few years and was afraid of poverty and hunger.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
Mr. Lu stopped her and asked, "Miss Gu, where are you going?"
Gu Rong suddenly changed her usual gentle demeanor and glared at him fiercely, "I want to go back."
She had to hurry back before Mrs. Fu discovered that she had eloped, otherwise she would never be able to go back.
Mr. Lu was startled when he saw her eyes. It seemed that she was about to reveal her true colors.
"Miss Gu, you begged me to take you out of the palace, why are you going back now? You know, I risked my life to bring you out."
Gu Rong shook off his hand and said sarcastically, "Mr. Lu, why don't you look in the mirror and see who you are? Why do you think I will stay here with you and live a hard life?"
She looked around and laughed coldly, "If I hadn't heard that you were the son of the Jiang Kingdom's prince, I wouldn't have even looked at you. I didn't expect you to be a liar."
"A poor person like you is not even worthy of shining my shoes."
Gu Rong was already angry, and he took out all his anger on Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu pretended to be disappointed, "So, you want to leave because you see that I have no power?"
Gu Rong replied, "That's right. If it weren't for your good family background, I would never have left you. I just didn't expect it was all fake. If I had known this, I would have stayed with the queen. When the queen dies in the future, I can take her place as queen and enjoy countless glory and wealth."
When Mr. Lu heard her say this, he stopped pretending and smiled, "So you've been staying by the Empress' side for this very reason."
Gu Rongsi did not feel ashamed at all, "So what? The queen is old, and when she is old and ugly, the emperor will naturally like me."
"It's all because of you. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have left the palace."
