" Interesting. You've already moved into my house, yet you still don't know who I am." Ling Yu wasn't the least bit angry about this. Instead, he teased.
"Your, your house? "Could it be that you're Great Qin's Holy Lord, Ling Yu?" The young woman's expression changed, and she was quite shocked.
She couldn't be blamed for this. Although Lingyu's name was big, not everyone was lucky enough to meet him. In this era, there was no Weibo. It wasn't that people would recognize you just because you were famous.
" What else?" Ling Yu smiled lightly.
" That's true. Other than Ying Zheng, you are the only one who has the right to come and go freely in the Qin Palace." Soon, Gongsun Liji also understood. She had seen Ying Zheng before, so she was not mistaken.
" You actually dare to call him by his name? You're quite bold." Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't mind.
"Humph! "He destroyed my home and killed my family. Do I have to respect him? If he has the ability, then kill me as well." Gongsun Liji coldly laughed. She didn't expect that under her beautiful appearance, there was a strong personality.
"You have a temper, I like it. But you can't blame it all on Ying Zheng. After all, even if your stupid and incompetent ruler is not destroyed by Great Qin, he will be swallowed up by other countries.
To be fair, compared to the commoners of the past, which one of you had a better life? Not only was Ling Yu not angry, but he actually admired her personality, straightforward and pure.
Because of Ling Yu, Great Qin was not tyrannical in this world. On the contrary, Great Qin's people were the happiest. Of course, even so, in some people's hearts, they were still shouting for the violent Qin Dynasty.
There was nothing that he could not do for his own benefit. After all, this was the martial world. Other than relying on the sword to reach the end of the world and being chivalrous and tender, there was also a lot of scheming and bloodshed.
" Hmph!" Gongsun Liji was speechless. She snorted and turned her head away, ignoring Ling Yu. She looked like she didn't want to talk to him.
In fact, she had also heard a little about these things. After all, she was also considered half a chivalrous woman. She had often sneaked out before the country of Wei was destroyed and traveled the world with her sword.
Therefore, she often heard the people praise Ling Yu and worship him endlessly. As a result, she didn't dislike Ling Yu. Instead, she had always wanted to meet him.
" Come and sit, it's quite tiring standing." Perhaps the only thing worth rejoicing about was that Ling Yu didn't directly participate in the battle to destroy the guards, so things weren't irreparable.
" What are you doing here?" Gongsun Liji glared at Ling Yu.
"This is my house. Does someone think she's the mistress? "Interesting." Ling Yu looked at her with a half-smile.
" You…you wish. I just heard that you don't live here anymore." Two red spots appeared on Gongsun Liji's cheeks. Although she was a forthright person, she was still shy when it came to such things.
After all, this was a feudal era. Other than a few, most women were very conservative. How could they withstand Ling Yu's teasing?
" Is that so? Don't you know what it means when you walk into this palace?" Ling Yu wasn't in a hurry, because he realized that teasing the beauty in front of him wasn't a bad idea.
"You, don't even think about it!" Gongsun Liji's face turned pale. Although she was young, she wasn't stupid. As a slave of a conquered country, she naturally knew her own situation. After all, she had learned too many lessons from the past.
However, even though she knew all this, it didn't mean that she would give in. In fact, the moment Ling Yu appeared, her heart relaxed.
It was not that she fell in love with Ling Yu at first sight, but compared to Ying Zheng, she could accept the young man in front of her more. She did not have to submit to her enemy, and her heart unconsciously relaxed.
After all, she had thought that Ying Zheng had imprisoned her in the palace because he had some improper thoughts about her. But now, it seemed that things had not developed to the worst.
" What a cute stubborn girl." Ling Yu wasn't discouraged at all. He gently rubbed her head and smiled.
" You…" Gongsun Liji was stunned for a moment. She never thought that Ling Yu would do something so intimate. No one had ever dared to do this to her before. However, for some reason, she didn't swat Ling Yu's hand away.
" Let me tell you a piece of good news. Your grandfather is not dead." It had to be said that Ying Zheng was quite thoughtful. For Ling Yu, he was willing to take the blame and bear all the bad reputation.
"Are you serious?" Gongsun Liji stood up excitedly and grabbed Ling Yu's hand tightly.
" Why would I lie to you about something like this?" Ling Yu couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, his heart ached a little.
" Please save my grandfather. I…I'll give you anything you want." Gongsun Liji's eyes were red. She had made up her mind.
" Sure, but you have to promise me one thing." Ling Yu couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, yes." Gongsun Liji bit her lower lip, but her trembling hands showed that she wasn't that calm.
" As long as you promise to take good care of yourself in the future, I'll agree." Ling Yu gently cupped her pretty face, his face filled with gentleness.
"W-what?!" Gongsun Liji couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes widened as she looked at Ling Yu in confusion.
" Looking at your face, I'm sure you haven't been sleeping well these past few days. If you sleep well in the future, I'll promise you." Looking at her slightly tired face, Ling Yu's heart ached a little.
Of course, he knew what the girl in front of him was going through. Her country was destroyed, her family and friends were turned into ashes in the war, and in one night, she went from the granddaughter of a high and mighty general to a slave of a conquered country. This was enough to make a man break down, but she hid all her sadness in her heart.
Even though he had something to do with all of this, and even though he wasn't the one who caused it, his heart still ached a little.
Perhaps it was a little hypocritical, but this was his true thoughts. He was not a good person, and he did not want to be a good person. However, they were two different things.
"You…Why did you…" Gongsun Liji didn't expect Lingyu to say something like that.
She didn't expect that Ling Yu would care about her at this moment. She was very touched and her heart rippled.
" If you don't mind, I can lend you my shoulder," Ling Yu teased.
Gongsun Liji turned her head and said,"Hmph, in your dreams. But you said it yourself. As long as I take care of myself, you'll have to save my grandfather."
It was indeed a wise decision for Ying Zheng to keep Gongsun Yu. At least Gongsun Liji did not reject Ling Yu, and even had a good impression of him.
Gongsun Liji wanted to say something, but she was interrupted.
"Holy Master, the Empress Dowager wants to invite you to a meal."
At this moment, a beautiful maid walked in!
