Chapter 288 You Dare to Hit Me!
Xiao Yulan snorted softly, "He agreed out of curiosity and now he has to sit in that position. Does he think being the emperor is that easy? He can be the emperor if he wants to, and leave if he doesn't. It's not that easy."
Bu Ruo laughed and fell into his arms: "You are the worst. If you hadn't lied to him about how great it would be to be the emperor, would he have fallen for your trick?"
Xiao Yulan hugged him and said, "How could it be that I deceived him? How many people fought for the throne and suffered bloodshed, brothers and sisters killed each other. I gave the throne to him and gave him supreme power. Am I wrong?"
"Huh?" Bu Ruo glanced at him. "If that position is so good, why didn't Your Highness become the emperor back then? And why did he give up such a good throne?"
"You, don't tell me that I don't like that position. If the late emperor hadn't committed such a crime as patricide and matricide, it wouldn't be a big deal if he took the throne. Besides, if I really took the throne, I wouldn't be able to accompany you on a tour now. I would have been annoyed to death by those old guys in the court."
Bu Ruo suddenly felt sorry for Xiao Hanfei, especially when she thought of his pitiful and resentful eyes on the day they left...
"Don't think about other men!"
Bu Ruo was speechless: "He is your nephew, and my junior."
"Don't even think about that. I'm a man too."
Xiao Yulan gritted his teeth secretly: "Humph, he just wants to win your pity. I will write him a reply tomorrow. If he dares to send a pigeon letter again, I will send someone back to break his legs!"
"No, I have to write back tomorrow asking those old guys to find more things for that kid to do. It would be best if he doesn't even have time to send a pigeon to deliver the letter."
Bu Ruo: ...
"Princess, have some tea. It's a little hot, so be careful. I've also made some fruit tea for the two young masters that Doctor Du prepared. I'll bring it over to them right away. They're having so much fun in the tent they don't even want to come out."
Bu Ruo sat on the ground and spread out the enemy's fur. Just as he took the tea, a scream was heard beside him.
"Guo Lu?! Why are you here? Didn't you die in the palace?!"
Guo Lu didn't even glance at her. She walked aside silently and poured two cups of fruit tea to serve to the two little ones who were having fun in the tent. But her clenched hands betrayed the unstoppable hatred in her heart.
"I'm talking to you, how dare you ignore me!"
Guo Shuangwen rushed over and knocked the tea out of her hand...
With a snap, the scream rang out again: "You...you dare to hit me, you actually dare to hit me!"
There was another snap, and Guo Lu looked at Guo Shuangwen's red face with satisfaction, feeling extremely satisfied. Well, this time it was symmetrical, and she had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Even if you're the princess of Beining, you're not qualified to spill the two young ladies' fruit tea. You know..." Guo Lu pointed at the pot of tea she had just brewed and said, "This pot of fruit tea alone is worth a thousand taels of gold, and there are only ten cups in that pot. So, you have to pay two hundred taels for the two cups you spilled."
"Oh, and those two broken teacups belong to the little princess's favorite set, which is worth five thousand taels. Now that you've broken two of them, the whole set is ruined. The total is five thousand two hundred taels. Princess, you should think about how to compensate her."
Guo Shuangwen didn't listen to what Guo Lu said at all. His mind was full of questions about why she was here, why she seemed to have such a good relationship with Bu Ruo, what was her relationship with Xiao Yulan, and what she would do if those two people sided with Guo Lu.
"Don't talk to me about those useless things. I want to ask you why you are here. Are you already a concubine of the Regent? So Bu Ruo didn't let me enter the Regent's Palace because you are already there, right?"
"What tricks did you use to please Bu Ruo? Why did she let you into the mansion but not me? Why?! Why?!"
Another snap.
"Guo Lu!!!" Guo Shuangwen covered her face with her hands, her eyes reddened. "Do you think you can do whatever you want outside? Believe it or not, I will have my father execute you when we return to the palace! You are a princess without even a mother. I want to see how you can defeat me."
Guo Lu looked at her expressionlessly. "I hit you because you called the princess by her given name, ruining the prince's reputation. Giving you a few slaps was already a great favor."
"Ah!!!! In the past, you always took a detour when you saw me in the palace, but now you actually dare to hit me! How dare you! How dare you!"
Guo Lu flicked her wrist and said, "There's nothing I'm afraid of. You've been disrespectful to the Regent and his wife in the Great Zhou. Even if you're the Princess of Beining, so what? If you keep speaking so recklessly, the next person I'll have to lose is my tongue."
“Ah! Ahhhh!”
Guo Shuangwen was already depressed because of her eyes and arms. If her evil father hadn't sent someone to tell her that he would definitely find a way to cure her, she would have gone crazy long ago.
Now, Guo Lu, whom she had always looked down upon, not only appeared next to Bu Ruo but also slapped her three times, which made her completely collapse.
The Beining envoys were directing their guards to prepare their accommodation for the night. There were only a few carriages. As a princess, Guo Shuangwen must have her own carriage, and he and the guards were riding in another carriage. The back of the carriage was full of their belongings. If they didn't clean up, there would be no room for so many people to sleep at night.
They thought they would stay in inns along the way, but no one expected that the Regent and Princess Regent would live in this remote place with their two precious children, so they had not prepared anything.
The two men, who were already in a state of panic, felt their hair stand on end the moment they heard Guo Shuangwen's scream, fearing that the princess, who was seeking death, would anger them again and lose some parts of her body.
When the two men trotted over and saw that their princess had only been slapped a few times in the face, they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, the other parts of her body were not missing. If the princess had only her head and body left... then they wouldn't have to go back. They could just find a tree nearby and hang herself.
"You've come at the perfect time. She's the Seventh Princess of Beining, and now she's following Bu..." Seeing Guo Lu's hand about to rise again, she quickly changed her tone, "She's actually following the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou. Is she rebelling against us in Beining? She must have defected to the Great Zhou and become a spy."
"I now order you to arrest her immediately and escort her back to await my father's punishment. Even if I don't marry into the Great Zhou, your capture will be a great achievement. I will then speak well of you in front of my father and spare you from punishment."
The Beining envoy and Wei Jieying silently spat in their hearts and pleaded for them, asking who was responsible for their current situation.
