1727 New Queen 1
“What on earth happened?” Wuxing asked anxiously, his concern evident. “We were on good terms earlier, and she even agreed. But why did she become so saddened after your conversation with her, Qianji Elderly Man? What did you say to her?”
“Nothing! Just about the Golden Rolls. I urged her not to jeopardize the mission,” Qianji responded angrily.
Everything had gone awry!
Qianji had lowered himself to engage in conversation with Lingyun, but it seemed to have backfired.
Lingyun was now at a loss, uncertain of what course of action to take.
“Wuxing, you must keep a close eye on her. You claimed she would do anything for you, but I am not so sure,” Qianji advised with a touch of skepticism.
“…”
“She actually mentioned that you could marry someone else if things didn’t work out between you,” Qianji revealed.
“What? That can’t be true! Did she really say that?” Wuxing asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Qianji Elderly Man was cunning and manipulative, but he never lied about trivial matters.
Lingyun no longer wanted to marry him?
In the past, no matter what challenges they faced or what others said about their compatibility, Lingyun had remained resolute in her decision.
What had changed?
Wuxing suddenly felt a deep sense of unease in his heart.
It wasn’t about the Golden Rolls anymore; it was a feeling of emptiness. He sensed that something was amiss.
Lingyun shouldn’t be behaving like this.
“I’ll go to her,” Wuxing declared, turning to leave and confront Lingyun directly.
But Qianji stopped him. “Not now. Women need time to calm down. Go to her when she realizes she is no longer indispensable.”
Wuxing nodded.
His mind was still in disarray, spinning with confusion
He had never imagined a scenario where Lingyun would no longer desire to marry him.
But how could that be?
Could she truly have abandoned the idea of marrying him? If that were the case, he would never see Lingyun again in his life, and he doubted he would ever find someone as devoted to him as she had been.
Wuxing’s thoughts raced, his head throbbing with intensity.
He made the decision to heed Qianji’s advice and allow Lingyun to calm down.
Several days passed, and momentous changes unfolded within the capital.
The time for the coronation ceremony of the new King and Queen had arrived.
It was an unprecedented event for the Saint Divine Land, as both a King and Queen were being crowned simultaneously.
Prime Minister Chu was tasked with overseeing the proceedings. Although he was not particularly skilled in such matters, he understood the importance of ensuring everything went smoothly, especially with a couple as esteemed as the King and the Queen in attendance.
The news of the upcoming crowning ceremony spread rapidly throughout the capital, reaching even the secluded Duke Changning’s Mansion.
“What’s all the celebration about?” Lu Jiming inquired, curious about the cause for the commotion.
“The crowning ceremony for the new King and the new Queen is in two days,” the housekeeper casually replied, although his dislike for his master was evident in his tone.
The crowning ceremony?
The new King must be the Crown Prince or another prominent nobleman.
But who was the Queen?
Could it be Gu Ruxue?
She possessed both beauty and talent, albeit with a hint of ruthlessness that suited the role well.
“The new Queen must be the Second Lady of the Gu Family, am I correct?” Lu Jiming asked, a smile forming on his lips.
