Chapter 336 I'll Obey
The two walked forward side by side.
Ji Ruyan frequently turned her head to look at Lu Qingqing.
"What are you doing? Just say what you have to say."
"I wasn't talking nonsense just now."
Just now... you brought more dowry than others?
"Okay, I understand, but we can talk about that later. Let's talk about the present first."
The two had already entered the mountain, and Lu Qingqing no longer had any reservations. She took his hand and instructed him:
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't go to the capital now. You have to stay calm, understand?"
“I know Qingqing, with Father Emperor gone, there’s no use in me being sad anymore. Don’t worry, I now… know that I can’t die.”
"Hmm, did you bring the flute?"
"Qingqing." Ji Ruyan grasped her hand in return, his eyes filled with inquiry.
"You don't want to marry me, do you? Even if I say I'd marry into your family?"
"No, it's just that I feel now is not the right time."
Lu Qingqing pinched his cheeks.
With her medicine, his complexion has improved these past two days.
Moreover, his skin must be naturally fair, as it's starting to turn pale again.
It's smooth, moist, and feels nice to touch.
Ji Ruyan looked as if she had received a reward, her eyes showing embarrassment and joy. "It's really not the right time. Then, once I'm settled, I'll come to propose marriage, okay?"
"Marriage into the family is acceptable, but we might not be able to live together at first. Anyway, let's get married first, okay?"
What does this mean?
Will he not become emperor in the future?
Lu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her senses.
He's too naive.
Besides him, the only other prince is Ji Canglin. If he doesn't become emperor, who will?
If the position were given to someone else, who could tolerate a legitimate member of the bloodline who had once been the crown prince?
His status dictated that he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
“Okay!” Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been reassured.
Looking at Lu Qingqing, he promised, "I will definitely listen to you and live a long and healthy life."
"Hmm, good girl."
Lu Qingqing smiled and took out a pill: "But I'm afraid you'll change your mind, so I'll give you a poison pill first. Only I have the antidote. Open your mouth!"
Ji Ruyan opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine in her hand without even looking at it.
Lu Qingqing paused for a moment, holding her slightly damp fingers, before muttering under her breath, "Fool."
Then we continued walking forward.
Ji Ruyan followed, first grabbing one of her fingers, then two, and finally completely enveloping her.
"Qingqing".
"Um?"
"Qingqing".
"Um."
"Qingqing".
"hold head high."
"Qingqing".
"..."
He called out again, but Lu Qingqing didn't respond.
But he still kept calling out to him with great enthusiasm.
Lu Qingqing didn't understand; his eyes sparkled with a bright light, filled with satisfaction.
It seems that calling his name can make him happy.
fool.
Lu Qingqing's eyes felt a little sore.
Because I was preoccupied with something, I didn't even see where I was.
It wasn't until Ji Ruyan pulled her back and waved to the surroundings that she stopped.
Several large rocks bent over and ran away.
Lu Qingqing: "..."
She thought... but it turns out someone else had already been arranged.
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but say, "The people guarding this place before were Dong Xiaochuan, Li Lin, Wang Erniu, and Feng Yuan..."
Lu Qingqing named all thirty guards on the outer perimeter without missing a single one.
Ji Ruyan was surprised, then thought of the crisis in Ming'an County, in which Lu Qingqing made great contributions and fought alongside them for a long time.
It was through her meticulous arrangements that the people were saved and their arrival was delayed.
"Qingqing, you know all their names?"
"I didn't know at first, but I made a point of remembering it later. Shouldn't we remember the names of heroes?" Lu Qingqing said.
"We should remember this."
"Yes, we should remember that. They were not nobody; their deaths should not be forgotten like smoke."
Although you were born into a noble family, with people always ready to fight for you, and after your victory, you are the center of attention.
Now, the streets are filled with praise for you, saying that you are the true orthodox master of the world, personally bestowed by gods and Buddhas.
However, behind all of this lies the dedication and sacrifice of all the soldiers.
This wasn't achieved by you alone.
Ji Ruyan nodded solemnly.
“I understand. Qingqing, don’t worry, each and every one of them will be recorded in the county annals and will not be forgotten.”
"Actually, the person I admire and am most grateful to is you. It is you who have led them to persevere for so long."
He really wanted to announce to the whole world what a great person Lu Qingqing was.
But now is not the time.
Lu Qingqing looked at him for a long time.
Then wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him on the lips.
At first, he was puzzled as to why they started kissing while they were talking.
But he liked it, and his heart trembled.
So I closed my eyes and couldn't help but greet, return, and dedicate all my passion.
Later, the two parted, panting and with misty eyes.
He held her in his arms, half-lying on the ground, deeply moved.
Lu Qingqing then said, "We're all doing this because of you."
"The Gu family army fought so that you could regain your high position."
"I've been leading my men in this charade, hoping you'll come to my rescue."
"Qushan supports you because he knows you are a benevolent crown prince."
"The people praise you because they believe you will be a good ruler."
"Ji Ruyan, do you now realize how important you are?"
"I can't die! I mustn't die!"
"You carry the expectations of the people on your shoulders."
...
Lu Qingqing felt that she might have said too much, and Ji Ruyan became uncontrollably excited for some reason.
He held her tightly and kissed her fiercely.
Lu Qingqing felt as if all her oxygen had been taken away from her.
It can't be pushed away, and it can't be broken free.
I'm so angry!
He was like a rabbit at first, but now his true nature has been revealed.
Forget it, forget it. If he is to be a king that all people expect, then he cannot indulge in personal feelings.
They don't have much time left.
Let him have his way.
As a result, Lu Qingqing's lips swelled up.
Enraged, she kicked someone twice and then applied some herbs to her mouth.
"From now on, you are not allowed to kiss me without my permission!"
We've wasted half the day here, and we haven't even gotten the important stuff done yet!
"Bring out the flute!"
Ji Ruyan didn't take it, but picked out the bits of grass from Lu Qingqing's head little by little.
"I didn't bring it."
"What did you say?"
Lu Qingqing got angry.
She had agreed to bring a flute so he could teach her a piece of music for warding off beasts, so she could feel for herself which part of her body it affected.
Okay, you promised so readily, but now you're deliberately not bringing it.
I'm angry, really angry!
"Let's go down the mountain! I'm going to invite Young Master Zhou to our wedding!"
"Qingqing!"
Ji Ruyan grabbed her, her eyes looking pitiful.
"Don't be angry with me, I dare not teach you. What if it really comes true..."
I'll explain it to you in detail, and you'll be able to tell the difference, won't you?"
Lu Qingqing still had a stern face.
"Qingqing..."
"Qingqing..."
"Alright, tell me now," Lu Qingqing said helplessly.
"But I think you're being a bit disobedient right now."
"I'll be good." The man nuzzled her cheek like a puppy.
"Besides making you take risks."
