C9 Hope for Destruction

It was not easy for Zhu Qing to agree to Dugu Jingyu's invitation to the banquet, so Dugu Jingyu had been worried sick about the polo club, and had prepared everything needed for the banquet early, from the horses she rode to the clothes she needed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Dugu Jingyu woke up early to cook breakfast for Zhu Qing and then packed up the things needed at the polo club.

Dugu Jingyu handed over a neatly arranged cape to Zhichun and instructed, "Zhu has always been in poor health. Although it's already spring, you still have to prepare it."

"Yes, Princess, leave these trivial matters to this servant. This servant will definitely handle them well. Princess, you haven't eaten since seven o'clock. You should go eat first."

"Fine, I can't do these things."

Dugu Jingyu rubbed her sore neck and let Zhixia wait on her while she ate. Dugu Jingyu's face was happy with every bite of her meal, and she imagined the scene of the two of them riding horses together at the polo club.

Although Zhu Qing's expression towards Dugu Jingyu was still cold for the past three days, his attitude had changed. Many things would follow her, and they had even practiced polo together yesterday.

After Dugu Jingyu finished her breakfast, she went to the Glow Platform, thinking that she could talk to Zhu Qing, but when Dugu Jingyu arrived at the Glow Platform, she did not see Zhu Qing's figure. Faang Yu was the only one in the huge hall.

Dugu Jingyu looked around and asked, "Where's Zhu?"

Faang Yu slowly walked forward with a happy smile on his face. After slightly bowing, he said, "Reporting to Princess, three days ago, Prince Consort had two sets of horse harness forged. When they were delivered this morning, Prince Consort was a little dissatisfied and personally went out to supervise the workmanship. He should be back soon."

"Two sets of harness? But mine?"

Only then did Faang Yu realize that he had let his mouth slip. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course there's a princess."

Dugu Jingyu felt as if ten thousand flowers had bloomed in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face as she watched the sun rise. Her entire body felt warm as if it was wrapped in sunlight.

"I'll wait for Prince Consort here. Go do your work."

After Faang Yu left, Dugu Jingyu started to stroll around the Glow Platform, looking at the ancient zither that Zhu Qing had worn and the books that he had read, causing Dugu Jingyu to reveal a happy smile. This was the first time in her life that Dugu Jingyu had tasted the sweetness of love.

This wait made Dugu Jingyu look forward to it. She looked forward to what kind of harness Zhu Qing would give her, and she looked forward to her life in the future.

Dugu Jingyu waited for a long time, but Zhu Qing did not come back. She leaned back on her chair and took a nap. In her dream, Dugu Jingyu imagined what the harness would look like, and also imagined the scene of the two of them going out together in the future. Dugu Jingyu slept beautifully in this sweet fantasy.

Suddenly, Dugu Jingyu was awakened by an urgent voice!

"Faang Yu, ask the doctor, quickly ask the doctor."

Dugu Jingyu opened her eyes and saw Zhu Qing carrying a beggar-like woman and hurriedly entering the Glow Platform. Zhu Qing did not see Dugu Jingyu at the table.

Faang Yu was also panicking. After glancing at the bed, he instantly lost his soul and hurriedly ran out to call a doctor.

Dugu Jingyu curiously walked to the side of the bed and glanced at it. With just a glance, Dugu Jingyu stood there as if she had lost her soul.

It was the feeling of awakening from a dream, as well as the omen of destruction!

Zhu Qing held the hand of the woman covered in blood on the bed with one hand and wiped the dust off the woman's face with the other. He said worriedly, "Luo, you can't be in trouble. You must not be in trouble. Open your eyes and look at me. I am your Zhu! Luo ~ "

Dugu Jingyu was instantly beaten back to her original form, because the person on the bed was Dugu Qingluo, the woman Zhu Qing loved to the bone.

A teardrop fell from Zhu Qing's eyes as he said with a trembling voice, "Luo, I beg you, please open your eyes and look at me, okay?"

Dugu Qingluo lay on the bed like a corpse, Zhu Qing was extremely anxious at the side, Dugu Jingyu's heart twitched violently a few times, this was the first time her heart was in so much pain, so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

Dugu Jingyu could not bear to see Zhu Qing's heart ache, so she comforted him, "Royal Sister is Pearl Country's lucky star, she will be fine, Prince Consort, don't worry."

Zhu Qing turned his head slightly to look at Dugu Jingyu, then continued to take care of Dugu Qingluo who was on the bed. Dugu Jingyu asked in a puzzled low voice, "How did Prince Consort meet Royal Sister?"

Zhu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it in the hands of the human traffickers in the west of the city."

"I see! He must have suffered a lot."

Even though Dugu Jingyu tried her best to suppress the disappointment in her heart, she could not hide the gloominess in her voice. Dugu Jingyu really didn't want to see Zhu Qing empathize with other women like this, so she tentatively said, "Then... The polo club later..."

"I'm not in the mood to go to the polo club. I just want to guard Luo and wait for her to wake up."

Zhu Qing's tone was filled with impatience towards Dugu Jingyu, but his eyes were filled with affection for Dugu Qingluo. In an instant, Dugu Jingyu felt that the person in front of her was thousands of feet away from her, and that she was an outsider in this Glow Platform.

Dugu Jingyu quietly left the Glow Platform. Just as she stepped out of the gate of the Glow Platform, the midday sky suddenly darkened, and after a few thunderclaps, it began to rain heavily. Raindrops splashed onto Dugu Jingyu's body, but she did not dodge. Instead, she walked towards the rain, and soon, her entire body was drenched.

Zhichun immediately found an umbrella for Dugu Jingyu to hold up. "Princess, you should hide."

Dugu Jingyu pushed the umbrella away, and Zhichun quickly caught up to block the rain for Dugu Jingyu. At this time, Faang Yu's doctor also rushed towards the Glow Platform with his medicine chest on his back, brushing past Dugu Jingyu.

Dugu Jingyu walked straight towards the entrance of the Princess' Mansion. She did not want to stay in this place with Dugu Qingluo at all.

Zhichun stopped Dugu Jingyu, who was about to leave the residence, and said earnestly, "Princess, where are you going? Go back to your room first and take a hot bath to warm yourself up."

" Don't follow me. "

Dugu Jingyu said weakly to Zhichun, then left the Princess' Mansion alone and walked aimlessly on the streets. This heavy rain made it so that there was no one on the streets. Occasionally, one could see some commoners who were using their hands to avoid the rain and rush home.

Dugu Jingyu had been completely drenched by this rain, and how she wished that the rain would wash away the wounds in her heart, but the cold rain hitting Dugu Jingyu made her heart ache even more.
