Chapter 266: The Invisible Barrier

Chapter 266

Zhao Changdu's expression was cold, as he raised his deep and cold eyes, "What does Miss Gu think?"

Gu Ying gently pursed her lips and took a step back, "I'll listen to whatever the Prince decides."

Zhao Changdu raised his eyebrows, gave an "en" sound, his slender phoenix eyes were as deep as black, "In that case, I’ll make the decision to marry Shen Ruxu to Liu Chang. What do you think?"

Gu Ying was choked for words, she could clearly feel the man's icy gaze falling on her head, like a knife, with an invisible pressure overwhelming her.

After a few months of marriage, arrogant from favoritism, she had forgotten that the person by her side was an unpredictable Lord of Hell.

Her breathing stalled for a moment, her mind blank for an instant, "Alright."

As the word "alright" fell, the man didn’t speak again.

Gu Ying hardened her scalp and stood there for a while, feeling the chilling gaze disappear. When she looked up, the Prince had already left the big tent.

The weather in March and April was fickle with warmth and cold.

At this moment, the piercing cold wind blew in from the cracks in the windows, making one’s back feel cold.

Gu Ying heaved a long sigh from her throat, and her taut spine relaxed slightly.

She moved her stiff legs, pulled her outer garment tighter, then slowly placed her hands on her flat lower abdomen, telling herself that for this child, she could do anything.

But at the bottom of her heart, there was still an inexplicable sour feeling rising up.

She closed her eyes, and walked heavily to the bedside. She just felt exhausted all over, with throbbing pain in her temples. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

She sat blankly by the bed for a while, but the Prince showed no intention of returning.

She had wanted to go out and see, but didn’t know what to say to him anyway, so she simply took off her outer garment, got into bed and fell asleep...

She slept very tiredly that night.

The next day when she woke up, Yin Lan had cleaned herself up and sat by the bed calling her name.

"Mistress, time to get up and eat, how come you slept so late today?"

A warm, soft hand fell on her forehead, cool and comfortable.

Gu Ying blurrily opened her eyes to see Yin Lan's worried face, "Yin Lan?"

Normally when Yin Lan was around, the Prince would have left already.

The side of the bed was cold. She had fallen asleep after getting into bed last night, and didn't know if the Prince had come back to sleep later, or when he had left.

Gu Ying took a bite of a steamed bun. She was quite satisfied with the Prince's arrangement.

Although she had intended to imprison Shen Ruxu for attempted murder, the Prince's method was more precise, vicious, and ruthless. It would make Shen Ruxu unhappy for the rest of her life.

To say who was crueler, the Prince was far more ruthless than her.

As his wife, she would follow wherever he would go, whether that was virtuous or vicious.

To make oneself happy and upset others, that was how people should live.

Thinking of this, she angrily ate a bowl of rice, two buns, stuffing her stomach round and bulging. She leaned against the chair, constantly burping.

Yin Lan watched with a smile behind her hand. "I’ll go take a look at Lord Huai, Mistress."

Gu Ying waved her hand smilingly, "Go on."

...

After Shen Ruxu left, the camp became much more peaceful.

About ten days later, when the Xianlin Town affairs were finally completed, the Prince and his men prepared to return to Yueyang.

Early in the morning, while Gu Ying was still asleep, she was carried out of the quilt.

It was raining outside, and the cold wind blew making her shiver and shrink deeper into the man's arms.

"Cold?"

"Mm." The voice was coquettish and tender, extremely charming.

The man felt a pain in his heart. He took off his cloak and wrapped her up tightly.

Smelling the familiar scent of water on the person, Gu Ying didn't wake up either. She just softly put her hands around his neck, letting him carry her onto the carriage.

Because of her pregnancy, the carriage was padded with thick cushions.

They traveled very slowly.

It took a full three days before arriving back in Yueyang.

Upon entering the city, Gu Ying woke up in the Prince’s arms. The three days’ time, neither long nor short, brought the two people close together in the carriage. But they didn't talk much.

There was an invisible barrier that seemed to lie between them.

Invisible and intangible, yet very much present.
