Chapter 65 Husband and Wife
Chapter Sixty-Five: Husband and Wife
“That’s right.” Gongzi Yu nodded. “If we disguise ourselves, get into a carriage, and take guards, we can go to the capital openly and legitimately, which will save us a lot of trouble. Those Jianghu people are too stupid to recognize us.”
Ling Hao gave Gongzi Yu a deep look. "Don't use your intelligence to suppress others! Don't assume everyone else is stupid just because you're smart! What about those with average intelligence?" She resolutely refused to admit that she was one of those with average intelligence.
Hmph, while her IQ might not be that high, her martial arts skills are top-notch. As long as her fighting prowess is high enough, who cares about her schemes and tricks? She can just crush them! Hmph!
When Gongzi Yu noticed that Ling Hao was staring at him, he thought that she had seen through his little scheme, so he quickly explained the benefits involved.
Ling Hao, however, put her hands on her hips, raised an eyebrow, and said, "It's not impossible."
Gongzi Yu was immediately delighted, "Then I'll have the poems prepared right away."
"Alright." Seeing that Gongzi Yu was about to get up to find someone, Ling Hao added, "But I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?" Gongzi Yu really wanted to say that he would agree to whatever the conditions were. However, he was worried that he was being too hasty and might scare her, so he maintained his usual expression and seemed not to care at all.
Ling Hao chuckled. What conditions? Conditions that would make her happy, of course.
A convoy of carriages slowly approached along the official road. In the middle was a two-horse carriage, with mounted guards at the front and back, clearly belonging to a wealthy family. Moreover, the carriage displayed a family crest, making it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that it came from the capital.
Those from Kyoto, regardless of their origins, all came from wealthy families and were not to be trifled with. The passing martial artists merely glanced at them a couple of times before leaving.
People like that are not to be trifled with. Otherwise, they won't even know how they died.
Seeing so many martial arts practitioners just passing by, Ling Hao waved the fan in her hand, "They really are acting like they don't see us at all. Aren't they a little too naive? What are you guys doing? Don't you even bother to investigate?"
But this is for the best; at least she can go to Kyoto in peace. Mingyue, wait for me!
“What I said is certainly not wrong,” Gongzi Yu said. He was a little frustrated, but not too bad; he just hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
Linghao turned to look at Gongzi Yu and said with a smile, "What my wife says is certainly correct. I have learned a lot from her."
Gongzi Yu twitched the corners of his mouth. He was a little happy because he and Ahao were now "husband and wife," but also a little unhappy because he was the wife and she was the husband. But overall, he was happier than sad, because he and Ahao were closer, even if not by much, it was still a good thing.
Yes, Ling Hao agreed to pretend to be a newlywed couple, but her condition was that she be the husband and he be the wife. Although Gongzi Yu was somewhat annoyed, he still agreed because of his own little schemes.
Ling Hao looked up at Gongzi Yu, opening her fan to obscure half her face and her smile. Gongzi Yu, dressed in a royal blue robe, sat there dignifiedly. He was already handsome, and with makeup to conceal his striking features, he now truly appeared as a breathtakingly beautiful man.
Everyone who sees the current young master Yu must say how lucky she is to be his husband! Ling Hao's smile widened. Hahaha, it has to be her, she even came up with such a brilliant idea, hahahaha…
The fan obscured Ling Hao's smile, but it couldn't hide her smiling eyes. Gongzi Yu could tell at a glance how happy she was, but he wasn't angry; instead, he raised the corners of his lips. It was just women's clothing; she was wearing it, so what? The most important thing was that the barrier between them was slowly disappearing.
Moreover… he looked at Ling Hao, thinking that if she were truly a man, she would likely captivate countless women. Dressed in flowing blue robes, she appeared ethereal, her eyes and brows exuding a free and unrestrained spirit, yet possessing the serene composure of the moon. How could such a person not be likable?
Ling Hao casually exchanged a few words with Gongzi Yu, then opened the car window, looked outside, and said, "Miss Shici, thank you for your hard work." She had known about Shici for so long, and finally saw her again.
Shici nodded to Linghao from her horse, then looked at the eldest son behind her and nodded as well. "You flatter me, Master. This is what Shici should do." Since she was going to change her appearance, she should also change her form of address. She wouldn't let herself slip in such a small detail.
Ling chuckled and said, "Thank you for bringing Yunduo along." She spoiled Yunduo rotten; she usually wouldn't let anyone but herself ride her, unless someone she liked. This time, Yunduo loved poetry, so to avoid giving herself away, she had no choice but to let her ride.
After all, it looks strange that a horse is following a caravan without anyone riding it.
"Yunduo is very well-behaved." Shici patted Yunduo's big head. In her heart, she thought that this animal was not a person and would not cause any trouble, much better than those two troublesome people.
"By the way, Shici, you know where Mingyue went, right?" Linghao suddenly blurted out while talking to Shici.
"Of course... I don't know." A cold sweat instantly broke out on Shici's back. She had been somewhat relaxed, but these words immediately brought her back to her senses. She didn't need to look at the people in the carriage to know that the eldest young master's expression must be very unpleasant, because she could feel the sinister gaze cast upon her.
The young master didn't dare to get angry at the young lady, so he just glared at her. *Hmph!* Shi Ci thought to herself, but outwardly she maintained a blank expression. She stopped talking to Ling Hao and simply rode her horse alongside the carriage.
Seeing that her attempt to extract information had failed, Ling Hao wasn't disappointed; she simply shrugged. She knew from Mingyue that Shici was a gift from the emperor in the capital and had been cared for by his side since childhood. However, judging from recent events, it seemed that Shici was taking care of not only Mingyue but also Gongzi Yu.
So she listened to both Mingyue and Gongzi Yu. She must have known Mingyue's whereabouts after she was sent away, and now it seemed she was right. She understood why Mingyue didn't say anything; after all, she was just an employee and couldn't ignore her boss's mood. Sigh, it's a pity she hadn't let the poetry slip. Linghao turned to look at Gongzi Yu, whose expression wasn't very pleasant, and smiled.
Linghao dared to probe into the woman's identity only after confirming that the poem was sent by the emperor, knowing she wouldn't face any punishment. She wouldn't have dared to do the same with anyone else; she didn't want to implicate them.
Ling Hao was very comfortable, without the slightest embarrassment, as if she wasn't the one who had just been trying to get information out of someone's subordinate.
Gongzi Yu's heart was heavy. He knew, of course, that Ling Hao wouldn't abandon Gongzi Mingyue, but she hadn't mentioned him these past few days, so he pretended nothing was wrong. But now, he was acutely aware once again of how much she cared for Gongzi Mingyue.
This made Gongzi Yu feel as if he were being gnawed by ants, a dense, persistent pain that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
