The Trials of Love
500,000 years ago, we already lost our chance to be together because of duty. "Misfortune shall fall on the ones who try to defy their fate." We are not destined to be together, that is what they told us. Even if we forgot our past, destiny still wanted us to meet again. This time, I am the princess of the Sky Clan, and he is the Demon Lord. Whose blood in the future will be on my hands. (Book cover done by me. Images from 616pic website)
Chapter 48: Entering the Forbidden City (2)
Chen Xue'er had put back on her clothes after the bath. She was already heading outside to meet with Li Dong Hai when she met Gao Wei in the hallway.
"Guard Gao Wei."
"Madame, are you on your way to meet Master Li?"
"Yes."
"Our master is talking with the hostel owner. He is trying to get you a room to sleep in tonight. Tomorrow early in the morning, we are going to depart to the Forbidden City."
"Hey, Guard Gao Wei, can you be honest with me?"
"I would never lie to Master Li or to you, madame."
"Good, just how is Dong Hai going to be with me? I'm no longer Chen Xue'er. I'm just a commoner with no home."
Gao Wei laughed. This startled Chen Xue'er she thought that Gao Wei was trained to express no emotions at all. "Here's a little secret between us, madame. The emperor is worried about Master Li's unwedded age. We must just construct a good backstory for you and they will receive you in open arms."
