Feng Quan drew his sword, "Nonsense..."
“What you say makes sense.” A smile appeared on Mu Gui’s pale face, making her look exceptionally charming and alluring.
A man as refined and elegant as him shouldn't normally be associated with the word "alluring," but now that he is... it's actually quite captivating.
Because of Mu Gui's words, Feng Quan couldn't bring himself to utter that utter nonsense.
Suddenly, Feng Guang heard a whisper in his ear, "Stop looking, you're drooling."
She instinctively reached to wipe her mouth, but there was no saliva. Realizing she had been tricked, she stared wide-eyed at the sundial.
The sundial stood up straight, not even looking at her.
Mu Gui asked, "Now that your hometown has been destroyed, what are your plans for the future?"
"Well..." Feng Guang glanced at the sundial. If it weren't for him, she would have clung to Mu Gui's leg shamelessly long ago.
Without hesitation, the sundial said, "We've decided to go out and work to earn money."
Mu Gui smiled and said, "But... I see that the fabrics you two are wearing are of the highest quality. I'm afraid you might not be used to doing hard labor."
Then the two realized that they were dressed in fine silks and satins, and how could people from a small village be dressed so well?
Fengguang looked at the sundial and blinked: Brother, are we doomed?
The sundial silently observed the scenery: "I'll call you sister, you figure out a way, okay?"
no.
The two of them sighed together, looking melancholy.
Just when Fengquan thought his emperor was about to order the execution of these two people of unknown origin, he heard his emperor say, "You have nowhere to go, so why don't you come with me to the palace?"
"Your Majesty!" Feng Quan nearly dropped the sword he was holding.
Fengguang and the sundial stared blankly at Mu Gui.
Mu Gui smiled elegantly, "Since I am the king of Nan Cai Kingdom, all the people of Nan Cai Kingdom are my subjects. Of course, I should help those in trouble. These days, there has been continuous heavy rain, and the people have suffered heavy casualties. If I can help one, I will feel better."
Behind him seemed to be shining a light, not the divine light of a true dragon emperor, but the light of a holy father who was about to save the world!
Feng Guang bit her handkerchief and sobbed. This man was so to her liking, even though he was a saint.
The sundial glanced at Feng Guang, then silently looked away. He felt that... Feng Guang's nobility as a goddess had been completely shattered at this moment.
Then, he heard Feng Guang excitedly say, "Your Majesty, I'm willing to go with you. I'll be your palace maid, and my brother will be your eunuch!"
The sundial froze. "Wait..."
"The palace is not short of eunuchs." Mu Gui seemed to be in a good mood. He said, "Your brother can be a palace guard."
Sundial frowned. Palace guards were for military men, but he was a cultured man! But compared to eunuchs… a palace guard didn’t seem so bad. He didn’t speak, afraid that Mu Gui would change his mind again.
Feng Quan was still making a final effort, "Your Majesty, at least you should allow me to investigate their identities..."
“Fengquan, there should be more trust between people.” Mu Gui’s eyes were smiling, like a pool of clear water, clean and pure. “If we are always suspicious, our country will not get better.”
Feng Quan's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Even Feng Guang, standing on the other side, could sense his helplessness at this moment, and she felt a little sorry for Feng Quan.
