1445 Opening 1
Junyi found Gu Ruxue ridiculous. No wonder she was putting on an arrogant air on the way here. She still thought that she was the Phoenix Girl who could open the door to enchantment!
Women were stupid.
And Gu Ruxue was even more stupid than anyone else.
Junyi thought of how Gu Ruxue slapped him on the face as if he were so much lower than her. And he thought of how much misery he had gone through because of Gu Ruxue. He hated Gu Ruxue, but there was nothing he could do to her right now. He was going to pay her back little by little!
However…
Despite the fact that he could not do anything about her now, Junyi did not talk to her with friendliness, either.
He smiled and said calmly, “Crown Prince Consort, have you woken up from your sweet dream? The door to enchantment doesn’t need you to open. Only the Phoenix Girl can open the door to enchantment, which she has already done. You haven’t heard about this yet, have you?’
Junyi looked at Gu Ruxue coldly. He did not want to miss any change in her expression.
What?
Gu Ruxue felt her head exploding when she heard that the door to enchantment was opened.
The door to enchantment was opened, without her knowledge? That was impossible!
She was the Phoenix Girl! How could the door to enchantment be opened?
On her Adulthood Ceremony day, hundreds of birds flew over her head. That had happened just a while ago… and yet now the door to enchantment was opened?
“Who opened the door to enchantment?” Gu Ruxue interrogated in disbelief. Gu Xiuying could not have been the one, could she? She was just a concubine’s daughter, so how could she be the Phoenix Girl? It would be ridiculous if she was the one!
Junyi felt really happy seeing Gu Ruxue’s reaction.
He felt glad that Gu Ruxue, who had been so arrogant and treated him like a demeaned servant, could receive such treatment within such a short while.
He started to imagine what his master’s expression would be like, if he ever became the King’s strategist in the future? That would be even more interesting to see.
The snow was still pouring, and the wind was blowing, but he felt excited like never before. He was going to see the light at the end of the tunnel, very soon!
Junyi clenched his hands, then he looked at Gu Ruxue with a teasing tone. “Lady Gu Chaoyan is the Phoenix Girl.”
“That is impossible!” Gu Ruxue shouted loudly.
She could not believe it. She could not believe that Gu Chaoyan was the one.
She could accept Gu Xiuying as the Phoenix Girl, but not Gu Chaoyan, never!
Why?
She was a daughter born to a businesswoman!
Seeing that she was going mental, Junyi felt extremely happy. That was the last thing she could accept, so he had no interest in expanding the story. He was a strategist and he knew what could destroy someone’s mind. So he went back to the wagon and left with the coachman.
The wagon dashed off, splattering snow on Gu Ruxue.
Gu Ruxue did not sense any of this.
She just could not believe it!
She rushed into the Gu Mansion and into Pear Garden and Mrs. Gu’s arms. “Mom, tell me, who opened the door to enchantment?”
