Queen is fearless

Chapter 74
"My concubine pays her respects to the empress, and my empress is safe." Gu Jinzhi saw Concubine Dong, and Concubine Dong also saw her.

After walking a few steps forward, Concubine Dong saluted Gu Jinzhi with a respectful tone.

Gu Jinzhi didn't expect to meet Concubine Dong here, but after thinking about it, it's normal, after all, it's also the emperor's harem, if she can come to deliver things, others can naturally come too.

"Get up." After ordering, Gu Jinzhi showed a consistent smile on his face.

Whenever seeing her smile like this, Concubine Dong always felt that she was not at ease anywhere.

"Thank you, empress." Standing up, Concubine Dong glanced at the food box in Gu Jinzhi's hand, and also noticed her hot red hand.

"I'm afraid the empress is going to make a trip for nothing." Looking at Gu Jinzhi, Concubine Dong smiled and said with a gentle voice.

"Really? Could it be that Concubine Dong's gift is soup, just like Ben Gong's?" Gu Jinzhi looked back at her, not caring.

"The concubine brought cakes, but the emperor was busy with court affairs, so I couldn't see the emperor."

Concubine Dong felt that since she couldn't see it, so should the queen.

"Is that so, I thought there was some conflict between what my palace brought and what Concubine Dong sent."

The smile on his face deepened, Gu Jinzhi withdrew his eyes and looked forward, Yuan Bao was trotting towards this direction.

When he got close, Yuan Bao saluted Gu Jinzhi, "My servant greets your mother, the emperor heard that you are here, and is waiting for you in the palace."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Concubine Dong from the corner of his eye.

Because of his words, Concubine Dong held the hand of the food box tightly, wishing to crush the handle of the food box.

"I know, Mr. Yuan, let's get up." After ordering, Gu Jinzhi looked at Concubine Dong again.

"I'm afraid I've disappointed Concubine Dong. I'm about to go in to see the emperor, but I need my help to bring your food box in?"

Yuan Bao saw it, and Gu Jinzhi saw it too. She asked Concubine Dong softly, as if she was willing to help.

"I won't bother you, my concubine, I'm leaving." Blessing Gu Jinzhi, Concubine Dong lifted her feet and left.

Gu Jinzhi stood where he was, looked at Concubine Dong's back, smiled and looked away, and walked towards the main hall.

Behind her, Concubine Dong who was walking to the gate of the palace suddenly stopped and turned her head to look. At this moment, Gu Jinzhi had already arrived at the gate of the main hall and was about to enter.

A chill flashed in her eyes, Concubine Dong withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and left Longgan Palace.

Gu Jinzhi carried the food box and walked into the hall. She didn't look back, but she seemed to feel a burning gaze behind her.

Presumably, Concubine Dong is very unwilling...

Zhou Jing was dealing with court affairs, and when he heard that Concubine Dong was coming, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling Yuan Bao to send her away.

But knowing that the queen was coming, he deliberately stopped the pen in his hand, and ordered Yuan Bao to invite her in.

Gu Jinzhi put the food box on the table, saw that Zhou Jing was busy with his head down, so he didn't make a sound, and waited patiently.

After dealing with the memorial in his hand, Zhou Jing wanted to ask, but when he raised his head, he saw Gu Jinzhi sitting at the table with his chin propped up, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"I'm still wondering why you haven't come in yet, I didn't expect you to have already sat down."

Smiling and speaking, Zhou Jing put down the pen in his hand and came out from behind the dragon case.

"I heard that the emperor was busy, so I didn't dare to disturb him, and I didn't sit for a long time, not more than a quarter of an hour."

"Besides, I find it feels good to sit here and look at the emperor." It is said that men are the most handsome when they are serious. Zhou Jing's appearance is very good, and when he is serious and busy, he is even more eye-catching.

Gu Jinzhi felt that she was an ordinary person, and she liked beautiful things. Even if she had given too much sincerity to the emperor, it would not prevent her from appreciating the emperor when he was serious.

"Since that's the case, when I'm busy next time, the queen will sit at the table and watch, maybe I can eat two more bowls of rice."

After listening to Gu Jinzhi's words, Zhou Jing smiled and sat beside her. He was a little hungry at the moment, and when he saw the food box, he took the initiative to bring out the contents of the food box and put them on the table.

Gu Jinzhi's hands were clasped on the table, covered by her sleeves, so Zhou Jing didn't see the burns on her hands.

"This soup smells good. It must have taken a lot of effort. After Jinzhi returns to the palace, remember to reward me." After taking a sip, Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows. The soup tasted very good and suited his appetite.

"The emperor said so, and I naturally followed suit, but I don't know, what does the emperor want to reward?"

Looking at Zhou Jing's expression, one could tell that he was very satisfied. After being with him for so long, Gu Jinzhi knew his taste very well.

Because of this, she was able to make soup that Zhou Jing liked very much.

"Jinzhi just look at the reward, you should try it too, it tastes pretty good." Taking a spoonful of soup and bringing it to Gu Jinzhi's lips, Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"The taste of this soup is really good. It has been boiled for several hours." Although she didn't keep watch all the time, she checked it from time to time, so it was naturally clear.

From her words, Zhou Jing heard something strange, he looked at Gu Jinzhi with hesitation on his face, "This soup...is Jinzhi making it himself?"

"Well, does the emperor like it?" Nodding, Gu Jinzhi's face showed anticipation.

"Just tell the palace servants about this kind of thing. Why do you have to work so hard?" Seeing her nodding, Zhou Jing put down the bowl and reached out to hold Gu Jinzhi's hand.

She had burns on her hands, and when she was touched by Zhou Jing, her face immediately turned pale, and she subconsciously hid her hands back.

Only then did Zhou Jing see that her hand was red and swollen, he quickly stood up and called Yuan Bao to invite the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, it's okay." Seeing Zhou Jing put his hand to his lips and blowing carefully, Gu Jinzhi smiled and comforted him.

"You were hurt, why didn't you tell me?" Seeing Gu Jinzhi's red and swollen hand, Zhou Jing really felt distressed. He heard that blowing on it would relieve it, so while talking about Gu Jinzhi, Blow her gently.

"When I left Fengyang Palace, it didn't look serious, and I even had someone give me medicine. I didn't expect it to look even worse after a while."

"The soup has been boiled for several hours. If you don't drink it while it's hot, it won't taste so good. I was worried that the emperor's stomach would be so empty at this moment, so I hurried to bring it here."

Probably it was really painful, Gu Jinzhi's face was pale, but she still had a smile on her face, talking to Zhou Jing in a slow voice.

This appearance made Zhou Jing feel even more distressed. The one who wished to be burned was himself.

The imperial doctor came soon, cleaned up Gu Jinzhi's wound and reapplied the medicine.

Zhou Jing held her other hand. He could feel that Gu Jinzhi would use some strength when he was in pain, but from the beginning to the end, there was a smile on her face.

She looked at him, comforted him softly, told him not to worry, from her eyes, he saw himself, full of friendship with him.

At this moment, Zhou Jing suddenly felt that somewhere in his heart had quietly collapsed...
