After learning that Gu Muchen refused to ascend the throne, debated with the court officials, and helped Luo Jiu retain the throne of Qi Kingdom, Luo Jiu was "gratified" to get up early for court again this morning.
With Eunuch Li announcing, "The Emperor has arrived!" the morning court session resumed as usual.
The only difference was that the chair that used to be the Regent's chair at the front of the hall had been removed, and Gu Muchen stood at the head of the ministers, paying the highest respect to Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu winked at Gu Muchen through the beaded chain, as if asking a question, which was rather cute.
Gu Muchen's eyes were fixed on her the whole time. After receiving her gaze, he blinked and looked at her with a smile.
"Ahem! Having survived this calamity, I am deeply moved. I aspire to be a wise ruler, yet I do not even understand my own country. I am truly ashamed."
Therefore, I have decided to leave the palace this afternoon incognito for a private visit, with no set return date.
After saying all this, I just want to show you that the world is so big and I want to see it!
Luo Jiu's words shocked a large number of people, and even Gu Muchen was slightly surprised.
“Your Majesty, please reconsider! The country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. If you leave, who will take charge of the overall situation?” said an old minister.
"It's as if I'm the one hosting." Luo Jiu thought to herself, pursing her lips.
He said, "I will leave all matters after I leave the palace to Prime Minister Ye Si, with the assistance of all the other officials."
“That regent…”
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Jiu interrupted him, saying, "Oh, the Regent is naturally traveling incognito with me!"
Gu Muchen subtly curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Luckily, this little thing still has some conscience. If it dared to abandon even me, I would have broken its legs and locked it up. Let's see where it can run then.
...
Later, Gu Muchen took Luo Jiu to many places.
After leaving the palace, we drove south. We visited the gentle and tranquil water towns of Jiangnan, experiencing firsthand the "small bridges, flowing water, and houses" described in Ma Zhiyuan's poem.
After visiting the valley with its towering peaks and mirror-like blue waters, we watched fireflies dance in the sky on the quiet, picturesque lawn.
We went to the grasslands beyond the border, rode horses and raced with the girls there, sharing beautiful moments and fine wine...
They abandoned their identities and transformed into ordinary people in the world.
The woman was dressed in bright colors, with a beautiful appearance. Her eyes seemed to sparkle like tiny stars, and she had a pair of shallow dimples that made people involuntarily fall into them.
The man was dressed in fine clothes, with handsome features and deep-set eyes. He stared intently at the woman before him, occasionally responding to her words with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection. His slender fingers, visible beneath his long robe, still gripped her hand tightly, unwilling to let go, as if afraid she would drift away.
What a perfect couple, like a scene from a painting!
The past six months have been the happiest time of Luo Jiu's life. She traveled all over the Qi Kingdom, enjoying delicacies she had never tasted in her past or present lives. But happy days are always fleeting. These stolen six months have also come to an end.
One night, next to a small wooden cabin near the river.
Luo Jiu received 007's message and knew she had to leave. She sat up, looked at Gu Muchen who was fast asleep beside her, leaned down, and gently kissed his thin lips.
Goodbye, my…
Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled away by a gravitational force. His soul, which had been freed from Luo Xiaoran's body, was sucked back into the black hole from which he had first arrived in this world.
