Queen is fearless

Chapter 666 Responsibilities
"The emperor, please allow me to go to the border and look for my elder brother and sister-in-law."

Gu Shenzhi knelt down, and begged Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing looked at him, but didn't answer immediately.

"Your Majesty..." Raising his head, Gu Shenzhi looked at Zhou Jing, his eyes were a little red.

Scenes of the past between him and Gu Anzhi came to mind.

"I know how you feel at this time, but don't forget, Gu Shenzhi, you are not alone now, you have a wife and a child, your wife is pregnant again, your parents, now only you are here Beside."

Zhou Jing's words made Gu Shenzhi speechless for a moment. At that moment just now, he only wanted to find his elder brother, but he completely forgot that he has a lot of responsibilities on him now.

"You go back, you don't have to worry about your elder brother's matter. Long ago, I sent secret guards to the border to protect your elder brother's safety, but unfortunately, I couldn't catch up."

"But there is still a hidden guard, and he is with him. As long as your eldest brother and your sister-in-law are still alive, they will definitely be found and brought back safely."

"As for going to the border, don't think about it. Now, your Gu family doesn't meet the military regulations."

With an order, Zhou Jing helped Gu Shenzhi up from the ground, and ordered the hidden guards to send him back to the residence of Marquis Zhongyong.

The dark guard got the order and took Gu Shenzhi away.

During this period, Gu Shenzhi was in a daze until he returned home and sat in his yard, still unable to recover.

Because Jin Jiu was a little tired and was resting at the moment, the hidden guards saw this gap and took him away from the Hou Mansion.

Jin Jiu didn't fall asleep, she knew that her husband had left, and now that her husband came back, she knew it too.

Getting up from the bed, Jin Jiu came to the outer room, where Gu Shenzhi was sitting at the table, in a trance.

"Shenzhi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing him like this, Jin Jiu was a little worried, sat down, and held his hand.

Gu Shenzhi's hands were cold, different from his usual gentleness, which made Jin Jiu more worried.

"Don't scare me, what's the matter with you? Did the emperor ask you to enter the palace? Is there something wrong?"

Jin Jiu is very smart, she guessed it right away, but she, like Gu Shenzhi, never expected that Gu Anzhi and Yuning would both have an accident.

"I just... went into the palace." After a while, Gu Shenzhi came back to his senses, his voice was a little erratic.

"The emperor said that Xuanguo's army was found outside the border, and a tunnel was also found. They went to the border, but there is a big brother, and the tunnel is a small problem."

"I thought, even if there is Xuan Guo's army outside the border, it's no big deal, because with Big Brother around, Xuan Guo people have never been his opponent."

"But the emperor said that elder brother and sister-in-law had an accident, and their whereabouts are unknown now. They...they fell off the cliff, and their life and death are unknown."

"What?" Holding Gu Shenzhi's hand, he suddenly tightened it, and Jin Jiu's voice was full of disbelief.

"How is it possible? They are at the border, how could they fall off the cliff? Is the news wrong?"

Jin Jiu stayed in the border with Gu Shenzhi for a long time, and he thinks he understands the situation in the border.

"I don't know either. Anyway, that's what the emperor said. The letter I saw was sent back by the secret guard who protected Eldest Brother."

"Someone kidnapped my sister-in-law. The eldest brother fell off the cliff with her to save her. Outside the border, I don't know if I am alive or dead. Jin Jiu, I don't know... I don't know what I should do?"

He covered his head with one hand, and there was pain in his voice.

On the one hand, the voice in his heart told him that he should go to the border to look for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, to see people and dead bodies.

On the other hand, he clearly knew that he was different from the past.

In the past, because of his elder brother, he had never married and had no children, so the emperor asked him to go to the border, and he could go without hesitation.

Now, he has a wife and son, and the entire Zhongyonghou Mansion is on him. No matter what he does, he must think twice.

As the emperor said, even if he wanted to go to the border, he would not be allowed to go, because he did not conform to the regulations of the court.

"You want to go to the border to find elder brother, don't you?" Seeing Gu Shenzhi's painful appearance, Jin Jiu felt distressed, she understood Gu Shenzhi's feelings at this moment.

Slowing down his voice, Jin Jiu asked, Gu Shenzhi's body paused, and he shook his head for a while.

"I can't go. I'm the Marquis of Zhongyong. The whole Marquis Mansion is on top of me. Something happened to my eldest brother, and his life and death are unknown. I'm the only child in the family, so I don't comply with the regulations."

"Besides," Gu Shenzhi raised his head and looked at Jin Jiu, although his eyes were red, but he was firm, "I have a wife and son, and you are still pregnant, I can't leave."

At this moment, Gu Shenzhi suddenly realized more clearly how different he was from the past.

No matter what the reason is, what he has to do now is to stay in Zhongyonghou's mansion, guard his family, and wait for news from the border.

"Don't reveal the news about the accident between the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law. If the father and mother know about it, they will definitely not be able to bear the blow."

Besides, it's still not certain that the elder brother is really dead, so it's better not to say anything, maybe after a while, the news will come back and the elder brother will be fine.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Jin Jiu knew very well how much impact this incident would have on the elders. Besides, the person must have died before it was confirmed, so naturally he couldn't tell the elders.

"Jin Jiu, I just... got a little excited." Hearing Jin Jiu's comfort, Gu Shenzhi apologized to Jin Jiu when he thought of his emotional fluctuations just now.

"You and I are husband and wife, why should you be so polite? Take a good rest and have dinner with your parents later, don't let them see it."

"I believe that the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law are auspicious people, and they will be fine. Maybe, they were rescued by some unworldly expert and are recovering from their injuries."

Continuing to comfort Gu Shenzhi, Jin Jiu really thought so in his heart.

She felt that Gu Anzhi and Yuning finally had a hard time, God wouldn't be so disrespectful.

"Well, I see." Gu Shenzhi nodded, and reached out to touch Jin Jiu's belly, "Son, dad was ashamed just now."

"How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?" Jin Jiu raised his hand and slapped him.

"If it's a daughter, that's even better. In the future, no bastard will marry my daughter!"

He likes both daughters and sons, even the emperor prefers daughters, how could he have a son?

"Don't let anyone marry me away, you will take care of me forever?" Although he said disgusting words, the smile on Jin Jiu's face was very sweet.

"Just raise it, anyway, it's my daughter, I'm willing to raise it for the rest of my life!" Gu Shenzhi felt better after teasing a few words.

Seeing his appearance, Jin Jiu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and prayed that Yuning and his wife would be safe and that news would come back as soon as possible.
