BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1458 - 1458 Dark Plans 2
However, De Fu understood what the King meant. He should sort out which ones to bring home and which ones to be left where they were.
De Fu could do the selection.
In this way, he was flattering the girl without feeling too uncomfortable.
De Fu looked up at the King, and understood what he meant implicitly. He nodded constantly. “I got it.”
Gu Chaoyan observed them, then she stepped forward.
“The King, since I am supposed to take those things for the Gu Mansion, then I can go and see which ones to bring and which ones to leave behind.”
“…”
“Officer Gu, you can help me pack up my luggage at Xingsi Hall. There are not many things there, Officer Gu alone will do,” Gu Chaoyan said, making the arrangements herself.
The King’s smiling face stiffened.
Honestly… That was just a diplomatic speech he made and she took it seriously.
Nevertheless, he could not possibly turn her down.
The King had to clench the truth and force himself to smile. “If you want, you can come along. The storage house is located in a very cold place, and it may not be so easy to walk there. Also, no masters would visit the storage house personally, so Phoenix Girl, you can think about the appropriateness of it.”
The King said yes to Gu Chaoyan’s approval, but he did not want Gu Chaoyan to go there, thus trying to come up with something to get that intention out of her head.
Having said this, he looked at Gu Chaoyan.
He hoped that she would have that thought removed.
Many good things were in the storage house, and he did not even touch some. De Fu could make a selection for him, but Gu Chaoyan might get some good things for herself.
Gu Chaoyan smiled.
She liked to see the King in this situation.
If he had not spoken so generously, she would not have had any idea upon the storage house, but since the King made such a nice speech to her as if he was giving her the biggest endowment, she was going to make proper use of the endowment.
Gu Chaoyan would never miss a chance to punish those who tried to trick her.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while calmly as the King was waiting for her answer.
She smiled and said, “It is fine. I am the Phoenix Girl. I’m different from the other masters and mistresses in the court. I will go to the storage house personally, and I should, too.”
Then she looked at De Fu. “Chief De Fu, lead the way.”
The King had a terrible expression on his face.
He forced himself to nod. “De Fu, take the Phoenix Girl there.”
He almost burst into tears.
Gu Zhenkang was watching the King in confusion.
Seeing him there from the corner of his eyes, the King bellowed directly. “Go and pack up the luggage for the Phoenix Girl! What are you still doing here?”
Gu Zhenkang nodded and left.
The storage house of the court was not very far from Qianqing Palace. It was a newly-built one, not the one passed down from the last period of history.
