Chapter 734: Control

Gu Chaoyan was in the middle of eating a pastry and had just taken a bite of it, when she heard what Zhou Huaijin said.

She found it peculiar, so she looked at Zhou Huaijin in confusion. “What is it?”

Zhou Huaijin gave her another pinch on the face at the sight of her lovely expression. He said, “Before the New Year, the Prince of North Qi seemed to hear some message from somewhere, so he went into the court and asked to meet Xunyang. Xunyang was not in the court back then, so the King gave him a portrait.

“The prince saw Xunyang’s appearance, but a long time had passed and the imperial army as well as the men arranged by the King had not yet found Xunyang. The Spring Hunt was around the corner and after that, the prince was going home.

“If the portrait had not been given, then they could simply get someone else to replace her, but since the prince knew how the Princess looks, such a method will no longer work. The King is very anxious, but he has stopped suspecting us. He is turning his suspicion to someone else.”

Zhou Huaijin had a very strange expression on his face as he was telling the story.

When the King made Xunyang the bargaining chip Zhou Huaijin felt very annoyed. So this result served him right, and Zhou Huaijin took it as a joke.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.

That was right. He got himself confused. The King would not have any idea of what to do at the moment.

“Why are you smiling?” Zhou Huaijin asked with a blaming tone.

Then the two of them started to laugh together.

***

Winter was gone and spring had arrived again. Soon everything recovered as the snow melted, and the trees started to bud.

Before the Spring Hunt took place…

A patch of green covered the yard of the mansion. Sunshine shone down every day and made people feel very warm.

At this moment, Zhou Huailing transported one magical monster from the court.

It was just a mount. Zhou Huailing had intended to give it to Gu Ruxue. In this way, she could shine greatly in the Spring Hunt.

Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, and the more popular she became, the more popular he would become.

When the magical monster arrived at Lord Ling’s Mansion… Zhou Huailing asked Gu Ruxue to take a look at it.

Gu Ruxue saw the monster in the stable. It was large and white, just like a lion. It wasn’t ugly with the white fur, but it was bigger than she had expected. She thought that it would be something flexible like a pony.

Zhou Huailing did not think that it was bad. He said excitedly, “This is what I asked Xuan Lin to pick for you. Most of the magical monsters are ferocious-looking and ugly, but this one is very beautiful. It has white fur, which suits you best.

“You don’t have to worry about a thing with it around you. It will hunt for you and all you need to do is to get the prey,” Zhou Huailing said with a smile.

He was very happy, and was very confident that Gu Ruxue would shine on the hunting pitch.

Hearing what Zhou Huailing said, Gu Ruxue stopped thinking about the drawbacks.

“Will it listen to me?” Gu Ruxue asked. The magical monster was already staring at her fiercely. It did not look docile.

Zhou Huailing took something from his sleeves.

It was a black bottle.

He showed a very mysterious smile on his face.
