Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Chapter 118 Sense of Crisis

But when Lu Yaoyao spoke up, "Your country is known as a country of etiquette, is this how you treat your princess? This is unbecoming of a great nation."

His expression changed again, and an incredible light shone in his eyes.

"It's you, it really is you."

"Come here, release the King of Chu. I will marry the Princess Heqin tonight."

That night, the Regent's Palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

Lu Yaoyao was escorted into the hall of the Regent's Palace. The surroundings were festive red, which formed a sharp contrast with her inner uneasiness.

She didn't know why the regent was so determined to have her marry him, and she had no idea what he was up to.

But now that she is here, she has no way out and can only face it bravely.

Inside the hall, the Regent was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, his face stern, but his eyes revealed a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

He walked slowly towards Lu Yaoyao, seeming to be measuring something with every step.

"Yaoyao, we finally meet." The Regent's voice was low but full of surprise.

Lu Yaoyao raised her head slightly and looked directly into his eyes, trying to find the answer.

"You know me? Who are you?"

The Regent smiled slightly, a smile that was surprisingly bitter. "I can recognize you the moment you speak, but you can't recognize me at all?"

"You..." Lu Yaoyao felt panicked and guilty for no reason.

Looking into his eyes, she actually felt indebted.

She was stunned until the other person slowly took off the mask covering his face.

No wonder he was willing to start a war and marry me.

It turned out that he could recognize her at once.

"Gu Huai, why are you here too?"

"Are you surprised that I came here? After you left, Xie Qingchen followed you three years later. He wasn't the only one who couldn't bear to part with you. It's just that I wasn't as lucky as him. This time, I met you a step later than him."

Lu Yaoyao was shocked when she heard this.

The same guilt enveloped him like a tide.

"I'm sorry, Gu Huai. It's my fault. I provoked you, but I didn't have the ability to make you happy. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Gu Huai walked over to her and gently wiped away her tears. "I don't blame you. I did this willingly. I just blame fate for not being kind enough to me. It always made me get closer to you later, never be with you, and then lose you. Yaoyao, do you still remember that rainy night in the real world when you met someone who was so upset that he wanted to jump off the Hengjiang Bridge?"

Lu Yaoyao tried hard to recall and found that this was indeed the case.

It was very late that day. She rescued the man and comforted him, but she didn't even see his face clearly.

"Could that person be you?" Lu Yaoyao's voice trembled slightly, and there was an incredible light in her eyes.

Gu Huai nodded gently, his eyes gentle and deep. "It was me. That day I lost everything: my family, my studies, and even my hope for life. It was your appearance that illuminated my dark world like a ray of light. Although we only met briefly and had a simple conversation, your words and smile gave me the courage to live again."

"Later, when my life got better, I kept trying to find you and finally found out where you worked. But before I could go see you, you had a car accident."

"Later, I came to Dajin with you. I thought I could rekindle our past relationship, but you already had Xie Qingchen by your side."

"Later, when we were finally about to get married, I was sent to the front."

"And now, you're about to get married, and we just met. It seems like we're always one step away, one step behind, one step behind, one step behind. Destiny is still not favoring me enough, so it will never be my turn to be with you."

"Gu Huai, I'm sorry for taking advantage of you."

"I'm very happy to be used by you."

Lu Yaoyao suddenly remembered what he once said, "Yes, my wife."

She thought she had misheard, but it turned out that Gu Huai was actually a modern man and had always had a crush on her.

"Yaoyao, I'm really happy. No matter how slow we were before, we finally completed the ceremony tonight. One of my wishes has come true."

"Gu Huai, don't say that. It will only make me feel even more ashamed. That night was just a coincidence. No one would sit idly by."

"But it happened to be you, it happened to be you."

"Yaoyao, I really hope we can be a real couple, but I know you don't want to. But it doesn't matter. I am already very satisfied with this tonight. You can stay here for a few more days. I will take you to travel around. When you have had enough fun, I will send you back, okay? I know you have your mission and responsibilities to shoulder."

"Okay." Facing Gu Huai like this, she really couldn't say no.

Xie Qingchen was released and when he learned that Lu Yaoyao was sent to Wuwang City for marriage, he fainted with anger.

Nothing in this world is as important as Yaoyao.

Last time he was just careless and fell into that guy's trap.

This time, he vowed to take Lu Yaoyao back, even if it meant starting another war.

Under Xie Qingchen's careful planning, the Chu State quickly assembled its forces and prepared to launch an attack on Wuwang City.

He knew that this journey was dangerous, but he knew even more clearly that if he didn't try, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

At the same time, in Wuwang City, Lu Yaoyao and Gu Huai spent a few short but warm days together.

Gu Huai took her to visit every beautiful scene in Wuwang City and tasted various special foods.

Lu Yaoyao was moved by Gu Huai's affection, but she also knew that she could not give him the same feelings.

She was grateful for everything Gu Huai had done for her, but she was more aware of her responsibilities.

Just when Lu Yaoyao was about to leave Wuwang City and return to Chu State, she learned that Chu State was about to launch an attack on Wuwang City.

She was shocked, knowing that this dispute was caused by her.

She didn't want to see more people get hurt because of her, so she immediately asked Gu Huai to choose a fast horse for her and went to the Chu military camp in person to persuade Xie Qingchen to give up the attack.

Seeing Xie Qingchen coming back alone on horseback, he was stunned. "Yaoyao, why are you back?"

"Are you OK?"

He hugged Lu Yaoyao, ecstatic.

"Let me go first, I can't breathe."

Lu Yaoyao was held tightly by him.

Xie Qingchen then let her go and looked her over carefully. After making sure she was safe, he asked, "What happened? How did you escape? Did that guy do anything to you?"

"He won't do anything to me."

"why."

"Because he is Gu Huai!" Lu Yaoyao smiled lightly.

"You two have been fighting for so long, and yet you didn't recognize each other?"

"He is Gu Huai?" Xie Qingchen's face turned as black as charcoal.

No wonder he is so familiar with his combat thinking.

"Every time he fights, he wears a mask that looks neither human nor ghost. Who can recognize him?" Xie Qingchen said angrily.

In addition to the anger of being severely injured by the other party, Xie Qingchen also had a strong sense of crisis.
