Ling Tianyin sneered in his heart.
He secretly mocked Gu Nuo’er. She was a young girl who hadn’t grown up after all!
Any guard who entered this palace would become a prisoner!
This request was not difficult. It could even allow him to catch that person and vent his anger.
Ling Tianyin immediately agreed with a light expression.
“What’s his name?”
“You’ll know when he appears,” Gu Nuo’er said ambiguously.
After all, she didn’t know if Elder Brother Siming would still come back as a wolf cub.
In short, she got him a death exemption token first!
Ling Tianyin asked, “What’s the third request?”
However, Gu Nuo’er didn’t intend to say anything else.
She rubbed her stomach and looked up at Consort Lu pitifully with her watery eyes.
“Pretty consort, I’m hungry~”
Consort Lu smiled. “You’ve been playing for so long just now. I’m guessing you should be getting hungry too. It’s almost time to eat. I’ll let the kitchen send it over.”
Ling Tianyin frowned. “There are still three requests that you haven’t mentioned.”
Gu Nuo’er looked at him. “What’s the hurry? Help me save them first. I’ll come and look for you when I think of something.”
The child nimbly jumped off the stool.
Ling Shen also quickly wanted to get onto the ground and let Gu Nuo’er hold his small hand.
“Elder Sister Nuo’er, let’s go together.”
He watched as Gu Nuo’er took Ling Shen towards the side hall where meals were usually taken.
Ling Tianyin chased after her. “You…!”
Consort Lu suddenly stopped him and grabbed Ling Tianyin’s wrist.
“Your Majesty.” Her watery eyes rippled with gentleness and her voice was gentle. “Your consort wants to keep Nuo’er by my side to take care of her.”
Ling Tianyin’s brows furrowed tightly.
He said to Consort Lu nicely, “Xiangfu, I know that you’ve always been calm and rational. This Gu Nuo’er is Gu Yihan’s biological daughter, and Great Qi is our enemy.
“Why do you want to keep her by your side? If you like girls, I can get the officials to send their daughters to the palace to accompany you.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Consort Lu’s eyes.
Her voice was very soft. “Your Majesty, Nuo’er is a princess in terms of status, but she’s just a child who hasn’t grown up yet.
“Your consort is only thinking from the perspective of a mother. If your consort’s child is lost outside, this consort will definitely wash my face with tears day and night.
“If someone can treat the child well and take care of him, your consort will definitely be grateful to that person.
“Since Your Majesty doesn’t plan to kill Nuo’er and only wants to negotiate with the Great Qi’s emperor…
“In that case, your consort implores Your Majesty to not mind if Nuo’er stays by your consort’s side.”
Ling Tianyin frowned. “But…”
Before he could finish speaking, Consort Lu quickly bowed and lowered her head to interrupt him.
“If Your Majesty really wants to deal with Nuo’er, please send me along with her.
“Your consort likes Nuo’er.”
There was a hint of helplessness on Ling Tianyin’s handsome face.
He loved Lu Xiangfu deeply and was willing to give in most of the time.
This time was no exception.
After a long silence, he sighed heavily.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Gu Nuo’er will stay with you.”
Only then did Consort Lu’s brows relax and she revealed a gentle smile.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.
“Nuo’er is a good child. As long as Your Majesty spends some time with her, you’ll understand.”
Ling Tianyin didn’t say anything.
He had a deep prejudice against Gu Nuo’er.
However, he was a little puzzled.
Why did his beloved consort and son both change sides after interacting with that girl for just a while?
Ling Tianyin didn’t stay for dinner.
This was because he had promised the empress that he would go and check the crown prince’s homework.
Consort Lu sent him off with a calm expression.
