Chapter 449 – betrothal gift, extraordinary
Even though Xiao Lan didn’t know what Qingzhu had said to Shen Qingyan, when she saw that his Master wasn’t as angry as she was just now, she felt relieved. Shen Qingyan tightly held onto the silk handkerchief in her hand, feeling a lot more comfortable in her heart.
Now, all they had to do was wait for the right moment and create the opportunity to kill the child in Dan Qing’s womb.
At this time, in Fusang Kingdom’s Prince Guo’s residence, Wu Shang had already rushed over when he was close to his son. Early in the morning, Guo Xiang woke up in a hurry and went to the guest room wearing the loose cheongsam. Although the distance between Fusang Kingdom and herself was not too far, they had not seen each other ever since Wu Shang sent her back to Fusang Kingdom. Although the two of them often wrote letters to each other, when had they ever seen each other make others feel at ease and happy?
A servant girl followed closely behind Guo Xiang, carefully reminding him along the way: “Princess, run slowly, Master Wu Shang is in the guest room, he still has something he needs to do, he won’t be able to escape for now.”
How could Guo Xiang listen? Hearing that the servant said that Wu Shang had matters to attend to, the speed of his footsteps increased.
Wu Shang woke up very early, so when he heard the faint sound of footsteps, he knew that it must be Guo Xiang. He frowned slightly. If he went out recklessly, that girl would definitely jump into his embrace, and would be stared at by the people from Prince Guo’s residence, to say that he had no rules, and would endure the impulse to rush out. Wu Shang quietly sat in front of the table, waiting for Guo Xiang to push open the door. Why is she not here yet?
After a moment, even the sound of footsteps had disappeared, Wu Shang could no longer hold back, he anxiously walked forward to open the door, and in that instant, a figure suddenly appeared, and fiercely pounced towards him. Wu Shang anxiously caught the servant and hugged her tightly. Seeing that the servant was about to enter, Wu Shang waved his hand, and the door closed, preventing the servant from entering.
Guo Xiang looked at Wu Shang in excitement, and suddenly choked with tears: “You ungrateful man, you did not come to see me for such a long time, have you fallen for another woman?”
As she said that, her tender fists did not hurt Wu Shang’s chest. Wu Shang stared at the woman who was acting coquettishly towards him with blazing eyes. He carefully carried her onto the bed and stared at her as she made a ruckus. After it was enough, Wu Shang then slowly spoke, “I have never fallen for any other woman, and have always missed you a lot. However, Master had yet to return from searching for the wangfei, and there were still many important matters to be done in the palace, so he had been delayed all this time. “Xiang’er, the reason I came here today was to bring you back.”
Guo Xiang’s crying stopped abruptly as she looked at Wu Shang in disbelief, “Is what you said true? You really want to take me back? You won’t leave me behind? ”
Wu Shang frowned. Why did he sound like he was leaving her behind when he heard her? He wanted to explain to Guo Xiang, but before he could say anything, Guo Xiang jumped into Wu Shang’s embrace like a little monkey, and hugged Wu Shang’s neck tightly.
Wu Shang’s stiff hand slowly fell on Guo Xiang’s back, gently caressing and consoling her. After the two of them were in love for a long time, Guo Xiang finally sat down and asked Wu Shang: “You came to Prince Guo’s residence to propose marriage, did you bring a betrothal gift?”
Wu Shang innocently scratched his head, the betrothal gift … He did bring it, the betrothal gift was given to Prince Guo when Master left this reminder for him to propose. Should I show this to this girl? Just as he was hesitating, Guo Xiang coldly snorted with dissatisfaction on his face, “I knew that you didn’t intend to bring me back. Who wouldn’t even be able to take out a betrothal gift? Even though my father has a myriad of entanglements with his family, if you don’t take out something that satisfied him, he definitely won’t let me leave Prince Guo’s manor. ”
Wu Shang paused for a moment, pulled Guo Xiang into her embrace and said to her: “I brought the betrothal gift with me, and only after seeing Prince Guo for him to look at would I know the result. It was just that this pillar had said that it could only be opened in front of Prince Guo. “So …”
Hearing Wu Shang’s explanation, Guo Xiang finally understood. No matter what it was, it had nothing to do with her. As long as she could follow Wu Shang and leave, it was fine. Satisfied, she nodded her head, and anxiously pulled Wu Shang off the bed, “Let’s go, we will go look for Father now.”
Right after he finished speaking, a rough and unrestrained voice sounded, carrying a trace of anger, “Hmph! You damned girl, do you really want to leave your father’s side? Daddy has raised you for so many years, is this for someone else to raise a woman? ”
Very quickly, Guo Da’s figure appeared at the door of the room. When Guo Xiang heard Prince Guo’s words, he was so frightened that his head shrank back and he warned Wu Shang in a low voice, “Hurry and call me father!”
Wu Shang was startled for a moment, and upon hearing Guo Xiang’s words, he called out to Guo Da: “Father.” Sensing that something was wrong, he anxiously changed her words, “Prince Guo.”
Guo Da glanced at Wu Shang in disdain. Just now, he had addressed him as father quite well, but this brat changed his words rather quickly, to the point that it made his daughter’s stomach bulge.
Passing Wu Shang and walking straight to the table, Guo Xiang sat down. Guo Xiang followed behind Wu Shang and walked in a big circle, hiding behind him the entire time, not daring to come out. Seeing this, Guo Da turned to the maidservant guarding outside the door and said coldly, “Bai Lian, bring the princess out.”
“Daddy, why did you chase me out? What do you have to say that you can’t say in front of me? ” Guo Xiang suddenly stood out and raised his lower jaw as he retorted unhappily.
Wu Shang looked at Guo Xiang in the blink of an eye and shook his head at her, gesturing for her to go out first. Who knew that Guo Xiang was afraid that her father would bully Wu Shang and would not leave until he was dead. Finally, with Prince Guo’s guarantee, they left the room with the support of a servant.
At this moment, only Guo Da and Wu Shang were left in the room. Wu Shang suddenly stood up and took out an exquisite embroidered box, and handed it over to Prince Guo, “Prince Guo, Wu Shang has come to the Duke Palace this time for the citizens of the Ming You Kingdom, and Xiang’er. Xiang’er is already six months pregnant, I want to marry her back as soon as possible to give her a name. This will also avoid others from gossiping about’s residence. Emperor said that if you want to marry Xiang’er, you have to do so. Therefore, he specially prepared a betrothal gift for you, for the sake of Wu Shang’s marriage. ”
Guo Da glanced at the box in Wu Shang’s hands. The box was very small, with exquisite patterns carved on it. He knew that the box contained a rare treasure, and the things that Helian Yi could take out, were definitely not ordinary items.
Wu Shang saw that Guo Da was just staring at the box without saying a word and did not accept the box, so he followed Helian Yi’s instructions. Without Guo Da’s permission, he suddenly opened the box. An object about the size of a pea lay quietly in the box.
When Guo Da saw what was inside, he suddenly froze. He extended his hand to take the box, but because he was too excited, his fingers kept trembling, and he did not dare to take the box. When Wu Shang saw what was inside, he was also instantly stunned. He knew that Helian Yi treated his subordinates like brothers. As long as it was something that Helian Yi had, he would definitely not be stingy towards it. However, the things in this box are not things that you can buy with money. These were Blood Drop Seeds! Blood that could revive the dead!
