Wang Rou β The White Peony β
SPEECH: #3369A0
He had just taken a sip of tea when ZhenXi said that not only would Lu Cai be the "rightful heir", but Wang Rou, as well. Hearing this, he coughed, choking a bit on his drink and sputtering as his eyes widened.
"A'Xi," he murmured. "You know I have no place in the royal court except to be a guard for Lu Cai."
Though that were true, Wang Rou found himself fighting back a blush as the thought of standing by Lu Cai's side as his spouse briefly entered his mind. Just as quickly as the thought surfaced, he pushed it from his head and continued.
"Tell me. What is this plot against us? I'm sure it's nothing you and I can't handle," he said, taking another sip of tea.
