Chapter 71: Title

Gu Hengbo turned to Lian Rong and bit her on the face, “She said to hand over Gu Meisheng. I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

Lian Rong didn’t expect Gu Hengbo to suddenly bite her, and on the face no less? This girl doesn’t seem to feel nothing for her after all. The key point is that she was so affectionately draping her arm around Lian Rong’s neck. Staring at those plump lips for a moment, Lian Rong suddenly realized that there were people with thinner lips than hers; it wasn’t a good sign.

Gu Hengbo’s heart raced. Seeing the woman in white with a murderous look, could she be here to kill her?

“Ah Heng~” Lian Rong called out gently.

“Hmm? … Uhm” Gu Hengbo was caught off guard by Lian Rong’s sudden kiss. Everyone else was shouting about wanting to kill her, and this woman still had the time to give her a passionate kiss?

Feeling the resistance from the person in her arms, Lian Rong tightened her grip, pressing their lips together closely, and she deepened the kiss.

Everyone watching was astonished, some twitching their mouths, others blushing, and some with their mouths wide open. Among them, the calmest was surely Li Che, who seemed to have seen such things so many times that he was no longer shocked. Whether he had any doubts in his heart, that remains unknown.

His master had the thickest skin; no matter the occasion or place, he could do it anytime, anywhere.

The harder Gu Hengbo pushed, the tighter Lian Rong held her, their bodies pressed close together. Gu Hengbo even felt something being compressed against her chest. Amidst the chaos, she still remembered to scold Lian Rong’s chest in her mind; an old woman is just an old woman, looking good is impressive, and having a larger chest is impressive too.

The air around them became tense, exceptionally quiet, making the sounds of their kiss even clearer.

Gu Hengbo became dizzy from the kiss, her body softening as she forgot that she should be pushing away the person holding her. She leaned completely into Lian Rong’s embrace.

Lian Rong’s eyes were warm as she slowly released her lips, biting Gu Hengbo’s chin gently, “Ah Heng, no matter what happens, you won’t leave me, right?”

Gu Hengbo stared at her blankly. When Lian Rong said those words, it felt like she saw something in her eyes, but it vanished in an instant. Coming back to her senses, she beamed at her, “Of course, I am your legitimate wife!”

Lian Rong ensured that no flaws showed on her face before leisurely letting go of her hand, the usual gentle smile returning to her lips. “A Che, take them away.”

Li Che was taken aback but quickly understood Lian Rong’s meaning; she wanted him to take Gu Hengbo and the other two away. “This subordinate must stay.”

Lian Rong glanced at him and said nothing.

The leading woman in white saw that they were chatting like it was nothing, not taking her seriously at all, and her gaze turned colder. “Prince Rong is a smart man. Hand over the crown princess, and we can continue our cooperation.”

Gu Hengbo’s eyes widened in shock. They knew Lian Rong’s identity? And there was a cooperative relationship?

Lian Rong still had that smile on her face. “I also like dealing with smart people. If you know what’s good for you, take your people and disappear from my sight immediately.”

The woman scoffed, “If it weren’t for the fact that the princess has something my master wants, we wouldn’t make things difficult for Prince Rong.”

Gu Hengbo shifted her gaze to Lian Rong. What was going on?

Lian Rong understood her confusion and gently patted her head, speaking softly, “Don’t be afraid; I am here.” Saying this, she pulled Gu Hengbo behind her, “A Che, take the crown princess away.”

Li Che saw that Lian Rong didn’t seem to be joking. If the other party were really powerful, the prince wouldn’t be so cautious. He immediately stopped hesitating, “This subordinate will ensure the safety of the crown princess and the two princesses.”

Seeing this, the woman in white made a gesture. “You all stop them! Capture Gu Meisheng, and the master will reward you heavily.”

“Yes.”

The other women in white responded and were about to move forward when they suddenly felt a force pushing them back several steps.

Lian Rong floated easily in front of them, a playful smile on her lips. “If you don’t mind being sent by your master to warm my bed in Prince Rong’s residence, then go ahead.”

Helan Yin was almost pulled into the carriage by Li Che. She held onto Gu Hengbo, frantically saying what to do, what to do, and whether Lian Rong would die.

Gu Hengbo was annoyed by her shouting, pushed aside the carriage curtain, and looked at that purple figure with a complex expression in her eyes. She shouted, “Lian, if I don’t see you before dinner, I’ll pack my things and go back to my family!”

After a long time, Gu Hengbo thought Lian Rong was ignoring her, just then she saw that purple figure raise her right hand slightly, giving a soft “Hmm.”

Gu Hengbo put on a big smile and said in the car, “See? She can handle it herself. The older woman is fiercer than anyone else, so you don’t have to worry.”

Lianqing glanced at her and said softly, “Sister, your eyes are red.”

Gu Hengbo tilted her head. “No way. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll hit you.”

Helan Yin pouted and murmured softly, “If you’re worried, just say so. There’s no need to hide it.”

Gu Hengbo lifted the curtain and called out to Li Che, “Your prince won’t be in trouble, right?”

Li Che paused for a moment and then replied with an “Mm.”

Gu Hengbo understood clearly that she had seen Lian Rong kill before. If it wasn’t someone truly difficult to deal with, Lian Rong wouldn’t have let Li Che take them away first. But…

“Anyway, they are all women. Unless Lian Rong holds back, there’s no way those people could be her match,” someone comforted herself.

Li Che also agreed with her, but seeing the prince’s earlier attitude, he knew it wouldn’t be that simple. It’s possible those people had set up an ambush here. Just thinking about this made Li Che’s eyes darken. If those people wanted to take the crown princess away… this was bad!

Before Li Che could think further, the horse collapsed to its knees and the carriage rolled sideways.

Gu Hengbo quickly grabbed Lianqing’s arm, pulling her into her embrace as she shouted at Helan Yin to “cover your head.” Then, she rolled off the carriage with Lianqing.

Before losing consciousness, Gu Hengbo clearly saw a glimpse of a purple garment and smiled. Lian Rong treated her quite nicely; if it weren’t for the prince’s identity, she might really consider it. What’s wrong with being a woman? After all, they had already shared a bed.

*

Gu Hengbo woke up from a nightmare, where Lian Rong held her by the edge of a cliff, surrounded by thousands of armored soldiers in dark clothing. When Gu Hengbo recognized the person in command, she was shocked awake.

Her face was pale, and she was covered in cold sweat. The long darkness made her unable to adjust to the light at first. She raised her hand to cover her eyes; everything was hazy and it took her some time to adjust.

Gu Hengbo looked around; everything felt eerily quiet and unfamiliar. She swallowed hard and heard some noise from the inner room. Supporting herself, she got out of bed and cautiously made her way to the round door. Upon hearing the voices inside, a blush appeared on her pale cheeks.

Just as she decided to leave, she felt herself being pulled by an unseen force, her unsteady feet taking her inside.

Before she could see the room’s decorations, she found herself seated in a chair. She hurriedly looked up, and everything in front of her left her in shock.

A woman in a moon-white long robe lay on the bed, half-dressed, with long black hair cascading over one shoulder. If one looked closely, they could see a completely naked person lying beneath her, looking almost lifeless.

At first, Gu Hengbo mistakenly thought the woman was Lian Rong. However, upon closer look, she realized they were completely different. Lian Rong’s beauty was subtle and reserved, while the woman in front of her was striking and alluring. Her narrow, slightly upturned eyes and a light layer of white on her lips gave off an irresistible urge to approach her, and she looked at Gu Hengbo slowly, in disarray, with one delicate shoulder exposed, like a bewitching enchantress.
