Chapter Thirty-Three: The Comfort Zone
Lu Lingjun pushed open the palace door and saw the woman in phoenix robes waiting outside in the corridor, which made him chuckle.
But I was also quite annoyed.
Your Majesty, you really are a womanizer.
"Your Majesty the Empress." Lu Lingjun walked up to Nan Wan'er, the slap mark on his face still visible, making him look somewhat disheveled, yet still so unapproachable.
"Prime Minister Lu." Nan Wan'er gritted her teeth, looking at the man standing in front of her, desperately telling herself not to be afraid, that she was stronger than him.
Yet she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She was afraid.
Could someone who could subdue Gu Yanjing be an ordinary person?
Besides, this person disappeared for several months as if he were dead, and then suddenly reappeared. Who knows what kind of thing he is?
"Your Majesty doesn't want to ask me what my relationship is with His Majesty?" Lu Lingjun said with a smile.
"I won't ask. I just want to know if the slap mark on your face was from His Majesty?" Nan Wan'er chuckled, quite willing to go all out.
She wasn't the type to be timid or hesitant to begin with, especially since this damn man was actually showing off his affection for her here.
Damn it, so what if you guys are gay? So what? So what? So what?
Okay, you guys are awesome.
"A gift from His Majesty." Lu Lingjun's smile froze.
This woman always brings up the very thing she shouldn't be talking about.
"Your Majesty is wonderful! That slap was beautiful and perfectly symmetrical." Nan Wan'er clapped her hands enthusiastically, then turned and left with her entourage.
Lu Lingjun was left pondering how to kill this woman who harbored designs on His Majesty.
His Majesty is too dazzling; anyone who sees him cannot help but be moved.
He wished he could hide the person away like before, but he had overestimated himself. Gu Yanjing was someone he couldn't hide at all.
He was about to leave Gu Yanjing's bedchamber when he heard Gu Yanjing's angry voice from inside.
"Lu Lingjun, get in here! What have you put on me?"
Lu Lingjun glanced back at the palace that was about to catch fire, said nothing, but slipped away quickly.
His Majesty is afraid of the heat, so he only left the Ice Soul Pearl with His Majesty. As for where he put it...
cough.
Gu Congxin hurriedly flew back, and looking at the palace, he felt as if a Vermilion Bird, its body radiating anger, was circling above it.
So he chose to do the same thing as Lu Lingjun, and ran away without looking back, disappearing as fast as he could.
Gu Yanjing was left alone to burn the palace to the ground.
Lu Lingjun secretly restored it later.
As soon as Lu Lingjun returned, Gu Yanjing retreated back to his bedchamber, ignoring all matters and becoming a hands-off manager. He was content with spending his days reading Tan Chun's collection and admiring Gu Congxin's foolish appearance.
Life is peaceful and serene.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to be a wise ruler and be remembered for all time?" Gu Congxin asked curiously, standing on the bird stand and watching Gu Yanjing reading a book.
Other time travelers are all proud and ambitious, wanting to leave their mark on history, so why does His Majesty have this attitude?
Young man, where is your ambition?
"Troublesome." Gu Yan raised his hand and shook the sleeve he was pressing down on.
With the Ice Soul Pearl, he really hasn't felt hot lately.
"Your Majesty, are you really not planning to attend court? From what I understand, there's a civil service examination reform and a war in this storyline. It's really easy to make a name for yourself and clear your name." Gu Congxin refused to give up and continued to persuade him.
Gu Yanjing sent a burst of spiritual energy over: "Trouble, get out."
Is he just bored and has nothing better to do than go to all that trouble, and even have to eat dust on the battlefield? It's so dirty.
Isn't lying down better? Isn't sprawling out more comfortable?
"Your Majesty, you need to leave your comfort zone!" Gu Congxin shouted as he was thrown out of the window.
Gu Yanjing simply sealed his little mouth shut as well.
Why is it called a comfort zone? It's because it's comfortable, and what else can you do with comfort?
