It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

In the vast territory of the Great Qi Kingdom, as the supreme monarch of this country, anyone who dares to harm her sister is a direct provocation and contempt for her authority!

Gu Linjun's words were low and powerful. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was imagining the inviolable majesty in his mind. He slowly expressed his promise to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. She is now in the safest harbor."

Emperor Xuan's fingers slowly slid down from the hilt of the sword, and the sharp edge of the sword reflected his deep eyes, which contained a determination that should not be underestimated.

"Starting tomorrow, I require that all memorials from the court be delivered to my bedroom. I will personally review them one by one."

Although this young emperor had a childish stubbornness in his temperament, he was protected by his brother and aunt and rarely got involved in complicated and lengthy state affairs. He stayed away from power struggles all day and immersed himself in endless joy.

This kind of lifestyle also brought him tragedy in his previous life - he was framed by villains and died young.

However, things are different now. With the return of his sister, the sense of mission hidden deep in his heart is completely awakened.

He knew very well that only by sitting firmly on the throne and holding power tightly could he build an indestructible barrier for his sister, and no one could threaten her safety.

"Where is she now? How has she been doing these years? Is she well fed? Is her clothing warm enough in winter and summer?"

Emperor Xuan's questions came like a barrage of questions, and his concern for his sister was evident in his words.

Gu Linjun took the sword from Emperor Xuan's hand lightly and put it back in its place carefully, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Back then, under Mr. Song's arrangement, she was entrusted to the mistress of the Su family, and Mr. Su has always treated her as his own daughter and given her meticulous care over the years."

When mentioning this, Emperor Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and an irrepressible excitement jumped between his brows.

"It's her, it's really her! The young lady from the Su family! I confirmed it without a doubt after just one glance at her in the hunting grounds. It was the call of blood."

Perhaps, it is this blood-related kinship that has established an inseparable bond between them even though they have not met each other in the womb.

"In recent years, the Su family's business empire has grown stronger and stronger. Not only has it become the leader in the Great Qi Kingdom, but it has also become the leader in overseas trade for neighboring countries. In such an environment, your sister must have lived a prosperous and worry-free life."

Before he finished speaking, an idea suddenly popped into Emperor Xuan's mind, and he hastily added, "Three years ago, I decided to marry her to the Zheng family of Changping Marquis's Mansion. Recently, I heard that the Zheng family has been in constant turmoil, and I can't help but worry about my sister's situation."

Upon hearing this, Gu Linjun tilted his head slightly and chose to remain silent.

In this time and space, although everyone in the Zheng family carries their own sufferings, at least Su Wanyu's life can be considered peaceful.

As for the previous life... Gu Linjun didn't dare to think about it any further.

How will Emperor Xuan react once he finds out that, just because of his marriage order, he pushed his own sister into a den of tigers and wolves, and ultimately failed to get a happy ending?

Will he massacre the entire Zheng family in anger?

Or is it that the unbridgeable gap will make him never be able to forgive himself?

Gu Linjun quickly changed the subject, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Your sister knows that you have missed her for many years, and she is looking forward to meeting you again."

Emperor Xuan was overjoyed at the news, and he quickly turned around to pour a new cup of tea for Gu Linjun. "It's a match made in heaven. My birthday is in a few days, so I can take this opportunity to invite the Zheng family to my house."

He didn't pay much attention to Zheng Chengyan's complicated affairs, but he had heard some rumors in the market.

Gu Linjun's avoidance today made him even more aware of what was going on, and he had his own speculations about Su Wanyu's situation in the Zheng family.

A daughter of a merchant entered the mansion of Marquis Changping through marriage, but unexpectedly her husband had other feelings and wanted to take his wife into the family.

The smile was still on his lips, but a barely perceptible cloud flashed across his eyes.

Thinking of Concubine Hui who passed away early, he couldn't help feeling sad.

At the beginning, when Zheng Chengyan proposed to take a concubine, thanks to Huipin's mediation and persuasion, he turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the matter.

But things are different now. If the object of Na Ping's wife becomes his sister, then this will undoubtedly touch his reverse scale.

Gu Linjun took the gently swaying cup of tea and changed the subject, "Has the Concubine come to visit you recently?"

Emperor Xuan's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, "Empress Pei comes to visit me every three days. Look, she has personally woven a blanket for me."

His finger then pointed to the exquisite and delicate fabric behind Gu Linjun.

Gu Linjun turned around and his eyes stayed on the blanket for a moment without asking any more questions.

He understood that at this moment Emperor Xuan was completely immersed in the joy of the upcoming reunion between siblings.

Leaving Gu Linjun alone, Emperor Xuan couldn't wait to run to the back hall and found two carefully prepared clothes, as if he was already imagining the scene of reuniting with his sister in his mind.

"Brother, which one do you think I should wear then?"

His voice was filled with a hint of hesitation and anticipation as he gently stroked the two pieces of clothing in his hands.

One is a yellow jade gown that is as warm as the rising sun, and the other is a fresh and refined white and blue jade robe that seems to be woven together by white clouds and blue sea.

His eyes moved and turned to Gu Linjun, his eyes full of trust: "Is it this yellow jade gown that can highlight my liveliness, or this white and blue jade robe that can better show my tranquility? You are so familiar with my sister, you must know her preferences."

Hearing this, Gu Linjun slowly raised his head, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. That smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, illuminating the surroundings.

"What you like, she will like too."

His words were concise but full of meaning, revealing his doting on his younger sister and his understanding of his older sister's preferences.

Finally, Emperor Sheng decided to wear the white and blue jade robe. This robe was simple yet elegant. It was not as ostentatious as the yellow jade gown, and it added a bit of humility and intimacy. He did not want to create an unnecessary sense of distance in front of his reunited sister because of his clothes, as if they were a monarch and his subject, rather than siblings.

After choosing the clothes, Emperor Sheng carefully selected a large and beautifully decorated gift box from his many treasures. It was filled with all kinds of rare items and handed it to Gu Linjun: "Bring these to my sister when you are free. Although I know she has no shortage of gold, silver and treasures, I believe that these thoughtful items will make her happy."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took out a pile of heavy deeds with a look of urgency on his face.

"Please help me choose a good feng shui location for my sister. I need to start planning as soon as possible to build a princess's mansion that is both solemn and warm. I remember that it took a whole year to build the Princess's Mansion. Now, my anticipation for my sister's return has made me pay more attention to every detail. Even at the fastest speed, it will take at least half a year to prepare. How I hope that as soon as my sister comes back, she can live in the new palace built specifically for her and feel the warmth of home."
