The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949: 433 Cleansing the Void (First Update)

Long Yi tested drugs on Xiao Liulang as he had before, switching from one to another. In the end, Long Yi’s movements became anxious and disordered.

He seemed to feel that Xiao Liulang’s legs wouldn’t get better.

Dragon Shadow Guards do not cry.

Neither do they suffer.

In that moment, Gu Jiao standing outside the door, felt an immense sorrow from Long Yi.

...

Having changed his clothes, Xiao Liulang came out and said to the silently waiting Gu Jiao in the corridor, "I’m fine, let’s go."

Go?

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Liulang in astonishment.

It took her a moment to realize that his "let’s go" meant to leave this place.

Gu Jiao didn’t mention that it would be best to stay here. She dropped the twig in her hand, stood up, and looked at him, "Alright."

On the way back in the carriage, Xiao Liulang did not speak a word.

Long Yi was not present, but both Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao knew he was following far behind the carriage.

"Is it because of the princess?" Gu Jiao finally spoke up.

Xiao Liulang tried to keep his tone normal, "She does not wish to see me."

Indeed, if she wanted to see him, she wouldn’t have returned to the Princess Residence.

Gu Jiao couldn’t argue with that.

The carriage continued to sway along.

Xiao Liulang’s face was very pale.

Gu Jiao couldn’t tell whether his paleness was due to the physical wounds or his heartache.

Gu Jiao thought of the portraits she saw at the Princess Residence and, after hesitating for a moment, asked, "Why?"

What Gu Jiao wanted to ask was, why did you turn out this way?

However, Xiao Liulang thought Gu Jiao was asking why she did not want to see him.

This was the scar that had been repeatedly torn open in his heart, the memory he least wanted to touch.

But since she asked.

He told her.

"Because I am not her biological child."

"Her own son died."

"Because of me."

...

Having returned to Bishui Alley, both had composed themselves, with no trace of anything unusual showing on their faces.

Long Yi left quietly using his light-footed skills after they had safely arrived. After all, he was Princess Xinyang’s secret guard, and his duty was to stay by her side.

There were only two classes at Guozijian that afternoon. Little Clean Void got out of school early and was now peeping out of his home doorstep.

His two little feet stayed obediently within the threshold, but his small body almost flung itself outside, his arms flying behind him like an eager emperor penguin.

Gu Jiao was instantly amused by him.

"Jiaojiao?" Little Clean Void spotted Gu Jiao, tilted his head for a closer look, assured himself that he wasn’t seeing things, then turned and called back to the Yao Family and Room Momo in the backyard, "Jiaojiao is back! I, I, I... I can go out now!"

With that said, he stepped over the threshold with his little short legs and dashed towards Gu Jiao.

And, unsurprisingly, he fell over again.

It had been a long time since he last fell, but he was still quite skilled at cradling his head.

He hugged his little head and rolled all the way to Gu Jiao’s feet.

After rolling, feeling that his image as a little tough guy was ruined again, he swiftly turned his eyes, spread his body out, and called out in an especially domineering tone, "Jiaojiao."

And got over a dozen stitches. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
