Chapter 235 Have we met before?

After Xie Yun, no one dared to respond for a long time.

Upon seeing this, the host of the ring simply announced that Wu Lie had successfully defended the ring, won the prize for the day, and personally delivered the black gold blade to the opponent.

Xiang Ye, who was sitting in the audience, wanted to comfort his wife when she saw this. It was always uncomfortable to see that the object she had liked was won by someone else.

"Miss, how about I go and ask that young master if he is willing to give it up? We can pay for it!"

Gu Qingquan glanced at her and said, "No need."

Xiang Ye felt a little distressed. Didn't the queen like it? There would be no harm in asking, right?

They were about to speak, but they saw the young man who had successfully defended the ring on the stage suddenly walk towards them with a black gold blade in his hand.

I saw the cold and tall figure standing in front of his queen, and then, holding the blade in both hands, he solemnly put the dagger in front of his queen.

"Girl, the dagger you asked for."

Xiangye:? ?

What is happening?

Who is this person?

Wait, that sound seems familiar.

Compared to Xiang Ye's dumbfounded expression, Gu Qingquan hesitated for only a moment before reaching out and taking the dagger from Wu Lie, saying earnestly, "Thank you, Master Wu."

Xiangye was dumbfounded again.

His eyes were fixed on the man in front of him and his cold and clear face.

This person is actually the elusive Lord Wu just now!!!

She looked at it for so long, but she didn't recognize it at all!!

But how did my own queen recognize it?

Gu Qingquan ignored Xiangye's surprise and looked at Wu Lie in front of him with his clear eyes. Looking at the other's stern face, Gu Qingquan was silent for a while, but couldn't help asking him,

"Master Wu, have we met somewhere before?"

His appearance always gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Wu Lie paused for a moment as he was about to withdraw his hand. There seemed to be a momentary ripple in his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. His face was still calm and his voice was cold and heavy, without any emotion.

“No.”

Two words: pure, hidden, and dull.

She doesn't remember herself...

There is an indescribable dull feeling at the tip of my heart, like a grain of sand that has fallen into my eyes, which cannot be rubbed away or dissolved.

The woman in front of me is the bright white plum blossom in the mountains and the blooming crabapple in the forest.

And he was born in darkness and gloom, never seeing the sun.

Being able to stand in the sun like this and get what she wanted openly for her was enough for him.

He stepped back quietly, and was about to turn around and leave, returning to seclusion.

Gu Qingquan looked at his back, and she felt as if the person in front of her was about to dissipate like a puff of smoke. She suddenly remembered the wrong words she had said before, and as if possessed by a ghost, she opened her mouth and called him.

"Wu Lie."

The first time Gu Qingquan called his name, her cold voice seemed to give the name a different flavor.

Wu Lie turned his head and heard her speak softly, "You don't have to stay in the dark. Just stay by my side like this today."

This way, it doesn't count as disobeying the emperor's order, right?

Wu Lie seemed to be stunned, not only because she took the initiative to ask him to stay, but also because of her words, you don't have to stay in the dark.

As the leader of the Dark Guard, this is not in line with the rules.

But he was unwilling to reject her.

Just today, he thought.

Before the Emperor and she merged, it was not a bad idea for him to protect her in this way.

"yes."

Although Xiang Ye didn't understand why her queen suddenly had such a request, she thought it was a good idea. After all, not everyone could be personally protected by the leader of the Dark Guard Camp.

If I could take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the leader of the Dark Guard, maybe I could gain some favor in front of the Emperor.

In the past, the emperor did not favor anyone in the harem. Rather than doting on his own empress, he cared for her and relied on her.

But the Emperor now has a favorite concubine, and there is no guarantee that his attitude toward the Empress will change in the future. One more friend means one more person to rely on.

Thinking of this, Xiang Ye hurriedly offered the cakes she had just bought, and said eagerly, "Master Wu, would you like to try this snack? This is..."

Before she could even start introducing herself, Wu Lie interrupted her coldly, "No need."

"Then Sir Wu, do you want to..."

"don't want."

Xiangye: ...

Although no emotion could be heard in Wu Lie's tone, she always felt that Lord Wu was much colder when he spoke to her than when he spoke to the Empress.

Like an icicle, with a spike.

Wow, this is too difficult to approach.

My lady, I am useless and I am afraid I can't help you.
