The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

555 Counterattack (second update)

Gu Jiao noticed that a brazier had been lit in her room; it must have been kindled early as the room was very warm.

She had been staying at the Medical Hall these past few days, and it wouldn't be any different tonight.

Had he lit the brazier just because she was going to have a few words with him in this room?

Was he worried she might be cold?

Although Gu Jiao's body wasn't susceptible to the cold now, she still couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Hen finished adjusting the wick and turned around, only to be caught off guard by her gazing at him dreamily with her hands propping up her cheeks.

Xiao Hen: "..."

With an utterly composed expression, Xiao Hen sat down opposite Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao looked at him openly, "What did you want to talk about with me?"

Xiao Hen, ignoring her intense gaze, said earnestly, "The matter regarding Mo Qianxue."

Gu Jiao sounded a sound of realization, "How do you know Mo Qianxue?" She didn't remember ever introducing Mo Qianxue to him.
