Chapter 1026 His Majesty the Vermilion Bird (42)
"No, I can. I can keep you alive until now, and I can keep you alive forever. Yan Jing, believe me, wait for me. I will give you a whole heart, even after a thousand years, just a thousand years."
When Lu Lingjun met Gu Yanjing's gaze, he seemed to lose his mind and rushed to Gu Yanjing, stammering incoherently.
"Qian*? Lu Lingjun, what exactly did you arrange? Why can't you tell me? How do you know that what you want to give me is what I want?"
Even when the situation became so critical that it was out of control, Lu Lingjun shouldn't have consulted with him first and made all the decisions for him.
Gu Yanjing kicked Lu Lingjun onto the ice, his foot landing on Lu Lingjun's neck as if he were about to break it at any moment.
Just like the countless times I've done on the battlefield.
It's just a matter of a human life being taken lightly.
Others cherished it immensely, but in Gu Yanjing's eyes, it was nothing more than an ant.
"Zhuque, your eyes are red." Lu Lingjun was being stepped on by the neck and could die at any moment, but he still clung tightly to Gu Yanjing's leg and pulled her down onto the ice.
"I don't need your help." Gu Yanjing raised his hand to hit him.
Ever since his elder brother bestowed upon him this name, he has deeply resented being called Vermilion Bird.
Like a cowardly, immature child, powerless to do anything.
"Zhuque, stop fooling around. Do you know how terrible it is when you lose control? Have you forgotten that you just made a contract with Gu Yuan a few days ago? His Majesty Zhuque is the most trustworthy. He will not go back on his word once he has made a promise."
Lu Lingjun kissed Gu Yanjing's eyes, forcing him to close them.
The feeling of not being able to see anything was disgusting, and Gu Yan frowned in surprise, but Lu Lingjun's kisses followed him relentlessly.
In his ears, he could hear Lu Lingjun chanting like a magic spell: "Vermilion Bird, Vermilion Bird..."
Hearing the chanting-like voice and with his face covered in spit, Gu Yan's anger, which had been surging within him, strangely subsided.
“Brother Lingjun”.
Gu Yan's eyes glazed over, as if he couldn't see anything, but he murmured something softly.
Lu Lingjun grasped Gu Yanjing's hand and leaned close to Gu Yanjing's face, saying, "I'm here."
It was as if that soft "I am here" instantly soothed Gu Yanjing's mind, and the exhausted king slowly closed his eyes, letting himself fall into a boundless slumber.
Lu Lingjun bent down and picked up Gu Yanjing. Remembering that his Zhuque disliked being carried in a princess carry, finding it effeminate, Lu Lingjun carried him on his back.
After dealing with the assassin, Yuhe and two maids flew down and saw that Gu Yan had fainted in shock and was about to fight Lu Lingjun.
"Your Majesty, what have you done to His Majesty?" Yuhe frowned, looking at Lu Lingjun with displeasure.
He had long suspected that Lu Lingjun harbored ill intentions towards His Majesty, and later, this was indeed proven true.
Lu Lingjun was a treacherous minister who defied his superiors.
He also coveted His Majesty's body.
Rubbish.
"His Majesty is just too tired. I'll take him back, and you can clean up the mess." Lu Lingjun grabbed the three restless men and carried Gu Yanjing back up the mountain.
Inside the main hall, the young boy, who had just found nothing, was about to push open the door and leave when he suddenly heard a commotion in the hall.
The man in blue robes, covered in grime, returned carrying his equally disheveled king, as if he had just survived a great battle.
