REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Don't worry, Queen. They're fine," Gu Yi replied.

"I'm grateful." A sigh of relief could be heard escaping from her tiny lips.

"Go back to rest, they're fine," said the man again.

"No, it's getting light outside," said Fu Xie Lan.

"I want to visit him," said the girl again. The person he was referring to was Emperor Fu Qing.

"No need, Queen. I've asked the commander-in-chief to pick him up and bring him here," Gu Yi replied pulling Fu Xie Lan's arm and immediately the girl's head rested against his broad chest.

"Is it true?" Fu Xie Lan slightly looked up. Look at the man's face.

"Emm," Gu Yi replied briefly while stroking the girl's silky hair.

"Next time don't do anything like that again."

One of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows rose, with a faint frown drawn on her forehead. Right now, the girl was not wearing a mask.

"I don't want you to get hurt just for protecting others, Queen," Gu Yi explained when he saw Fu Xie Lan's confusion.

"Your safety comes first," he added.

"I was just trying to protect them."

"There is an exception if it will not hurt you later," said Gu Yi.

"Even if the person I have to protect is you?" said Fu Xie Lan with a small laugh.

"I'm just joking, how can someone as strong as you be protected by a weak girl like me," she continued.

On the other hand, unlike what Fu Xie Lan felt, a cold glint appeared on Gu Yi's gray eyes.

"No one knows the future, Queen, something could happen," said Gu Yi in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Emmm yes, it's up to you," replied the girl, and for a moment the two of them fell silent.

They just didn't know, that what the two of them just said would come true in the future, even more so than just protecting.

***

The faint sound of a commotion in the morning could be heard from the front of the Arcadia Inn, Fu Xie Lan tried to get up from her position.

The girl had previously fallen asleep in Gu Yi's arms after a brief conversation earlier.

Letting go of Gu Yi's hand that was holding her arm, the girl walked closer to the window.

The rows of warriors and bodyguards that lined up neatly were the first things that entered her view. Right in front of them was a horse carriage, moving into the courtyard of the inn where Fu Xie Lan was.

The girl's brow furrowed for a few seconds, but it didn't last long, as someone came out of the carriage, and at that moment the frown on Fu Xie Lan's forehead disappeared as if what she saw was the answer to her confusion.

The middle-aged man who entered her sight was Emperor Fu Qing, her Father.

Suddenly a feeling of happiness mixed with emotion immediately filled her chest. Without waiting long, Fu Xie Lan immediately moved away from the window and stepped towards the bedroom door, wanting to immediately meet the emperor.

"Where are you going, Queen?" Gu Yi asked when he saw the girl's attitude.

Fu Xie Lan only glanced at him for a moment without making a sound.

Of course, Gu Yi did not remain silent, the man immediately followed behind.

Coming out of the room, it turned out that there were already Wan Lie, Xue Ning, Ju Xian, and Xue Ying. And they were all staring at her as if they were waiting for her.

"Did something happen again, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked with the same confused expression as the others.

Also, Fu Xie Lan didn't wait for Xue Ning's sentence to finish and quickly walked past them making everyone there even more confused.

"Xie Lan, your mask," shouted Wan Lie as he followed, the young man noticing that his mother was heading towards the crowd without her mask.

"Leave it alone," a cold voice suddenly came from behind. It was Gu Yi. The man also walked quickly to Fu Xie Lan.

As for Ju Xian, the man froze on the spot. This was the first time the young man had seen Fu Xie Lan's face without the slightest barrier. Her small face with tiny red lips formed beautifully formed, slightly plump smooth cheeks with perfectly sculpted nose and eyebrows, her violet eyes with smooth and clean skin adds up such an amazing portrait. Even the word beautiful is not enough to describe her figure.

Right now, the girl's appearance was already much different. It's all thanks to the golden aswagandha pills that she regularly consumes. There are no more black spots and wrinkles as before, everything is replaced with white skin that is smooth, supple, and looks firm. Not only that, but the pill also managed to make her look younger than before.

That girl, wearing men's clothes alone is already so stunning, moreover...

"Stop your dirty thoughts," Xue Ning's voice rang out and broke Ju Xian's thoughts.

The young man immediately normalized his expression and feelings again. Cursing himself for having dared to have thoughts that were not supposed to and that could not be justified.

It was all because of the beauty of a Fu Xie Lan. Even when compared to the rest of humanity, no one could match her appearance. Truly a beauty that can bring disaster.

Ju Xian understood a little why Fu Xie Lan always wore a mask or to cover her face. It was all because of her extremely unnatural beauty.

The young man still clearly remembers how Fu Xie Lan looked when she first met him at Noelle while in Kanca City. Since then, he has never seen her face in its entirety.

As for Xue Ning, even though the girl was taking the Golden Aswaganda Pill, there was no obvious change from the girl. Maybe because she didn't wear a mask-like Fu Xie Lan, so that no one would notice the changes that had happened to her, no matter how much.

With quick movements and steps, they immediately stepped up and caught up with Fu Xue Lan who seemed to have almost set foot on the first floor.

.

Emperor Fu Qing's current condition was stable and better than before. The middle-aged man slowly stepped into the arcadia inn.

They did not return to the palace because the palace is still in the process of restoration. Also, this was Gu Yi's request to the royal commander-in-chief to bring the emperor there.

Previously the commander-in-chief was surprised and confused by the order of the man with the gray hair because the last thing he saw was that the emperor was dying with many wounds all over his body. But his confusion was immediately answered when he saw firsthand how the condition of the leader of the Zu Kingdom was.

At that time, the emperor had come to his senses and seemed to be chatting with two male figures when the commander-in-chief arrived at the address he had given him.

And after doing some preparations, they finally came back.

But of course, after telling everything that had happened in the palace all this time to Emperor Fu Qing.
