Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 184
It was night, late at night, and the streets were completely silent, only the watchmen shuttled through the streets, shouting: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candles!"

From time to time, a cat meowed and a dog barked in the alley, adding a touch of excitement to the boring night.

But the study in the Prince's Mansion was brightly lit.

"Prince, everything is ready."

"Hmm." The prince took a brush and wrote a word before putting it down at the desk. Looking at the man in black kneeling in front of him, he squinted his eyes, "Everything is going according to plan."

"Yes." As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he turned his ear to the side, someone is coming!

After the crown prince winked at him, the man in black quickly walked to the window, opened the window, jumped out, climbed onto the house, and disappeared into the night after several jumps.

"Dong dong dong."

Just as the prince closed the window, he heard a knock on the door.

"Husband, are you still busy? The concubine has prepared a supper, so you can be busy after eating."

After hearing the voice of the princess, the prince returned to the desk, took out a piece of rice paper on his desk, covered it on top, covered up the words he had just written, pressed it down with the inkstone, and then said: "come in."

With a quick glance, there was clearly a big word "kill" written on the rice paper just now.

Xiao Lian opened the door, and saw the princess walking in with a tray in her hand, and Xiao Lian was standing at the door waiting.

There was already a gentle smile on the prince's face, and he didn't have the look of killing just now.

"Linglong, why haven't you rested yet?"

The concubine stepped forward and put the tray in her hand on the table beside her: "The concubine is not sleepy yet, so don't think about making some supper for your husband."

"Linglong made it herself?" A look of surprise appeared on Gu Zixing's face, she walked forward, looked at the bowl of small wontons in front of her, and couldn't help but pick up the spoon next to her to taste one.

"Sure enough, Linglong's cooking skills are the most suitable for my taste." Gu Zixing was full of praise for the princess's cooking skills.

The princess just smiled slightly: "My husband is absurd."

The Crown Princess sat at the side, seeming to remember it inadvertently: "I heard that Ms. Zhao Minzhao is a good cook. During the chrysanthemum appreciation feast that day, my concubine was lucky enough to taste her cooking. The rumors are indeed true."

"Zhao Min?" Gu Zixing raised her eyebrows.

"It's the woman who came back with Young Master Gu." The princess said slowly, "Don't you remember?"

"Ah, so it's her!" Gu Zixing showed a clear look, as if she remembered Zhao Min only after hearing the princess mention it.

The concubine smiled slightly, clicked to the end, didn't say anything more, got up and gave the prince a little blessing: "Since the husband still has business to do, the concubine will retire first."

"Linglong rest early, don't hurt yourself." Gu Zixing watched the princess leave, then returned to the desk, her expression darkened, thoughtful.

The bowl of wontons on the table was still steaming hot, but the crown prince only ate one and didn't eat the second one.

Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was the day of the archery competition.

This morning, Zhao Min woke up very early. He thought he had woken up early enough, but when he opened the door, he found that Gu Lingqing was already sitting on the stone bench in the yard, waiting for him.

"Why do you wake up so early?" Zhao Min ran towards him bouncing around.

Gu Lingqing stood up and supported Zhao Min who was rushing towards her: "Be careful, don't fall." Although she said reprimanded words, there was no reprimand in her tone, and there was a bit of doting in her eyes.

"Let's go after breakfast."

"it is good."

The two of them were in Zhao Min's yard. After eating breakfast, the housekeeper came in to announce that His Royal Highness King Qi had arrived.

Zhao Min smacked her forehead, and then remembered that she had promised to go with Gu Qi at the beginning, but in her opinion, there was no difference between the three of them walking together, so the two quickly cleaned up, Out of the mansion.

From a distance, Zhao Min saw a young master standing in front of the Xian Wang's mansion, with one hand behind his back, holding a folding fan in his hand and gently fanning it.

Such Gu Qi and Zhao Min have never seen before, because he is wearing the clothes of a military general today, and he has a tougher temperament than usual.

Zhao Min lowered his head and smiled, and walked towards him, his tone full of ridicule: "It's already autumn, I don't know why His Royal Highness Qi still feels so hot? Is it because of excessive anger? Do you need me to open a doctor's office for you?" prescription?"

Gu Qi listened to Zhao Min's ridicule, glanced at the folding fan in his hand resentfully, and closed it: "This is the shape, do you understand it, you know how many girls in this imperial city fall in love with this king."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Min clasped his fists in both hands, with an expression of admiration, "His Royal Highness King Qi is facing the wind, with both civil and military skills, and the most important thing is that he has a folding fan in his hand. How can he not attract the little girl's attention?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min couldn't help laughing out loud.

Watching these two people talking like living treasures in front of her, Gu Lingqing looked at the time and stopped the two people in order to prevent any further bickering: "Okay, stop making trouble, it's almost time, let's go .”

"Zhao Min, I have prepared a lot of snacks for you, do you want to eat?"

Upon hearing that there was food to eat, Zhao Min swallowed unconsciously, but there was still a sliver of reason in his heart, he was not dazzled by the temptation to eat, and looked at Gu Lingqing next to him with some embarrassment.

Gu Lingqing just smiled and raised her chin: "Go."

After finishing speaking, Gu Lingqing got into his carriage alone, and Zhao Min happily followed Gu Qi to his carriage.

Gu Qi felt a little complacent in his heart, thankful that he had already prepared to eat.

After the two got into the car, Gu Qi took out the food box, seeing Zhao Min eating with gusto, Gu Qi felt a little satisfied.

Gu Lingqing got into the carriage, but his face was a little dignified. Gu Qi's martial arts is not high enough, so he can't detect anything unusual, but Gu Lingqing can clearly feel the aura of a master, and he doesn't know how many people are hiding in the dark on this street. people.

"Boss, do you want to do it?"

At this moment, the person hidden in the dark looked at the scene in front of him and asked his boss's opinion.

Both of them were covered with veils, so they couldn't see their faces, but the boss had a sharp look in his eyes, but he made a quick decision: "Wait a little longer."

Watching the two carriages driving away, the man in black's eyes flashed a murderous intent. He never expected that Gu Qi would come to Xian Wang's mansion today. He originally planned to ambush Gu Lingqing when he went out, but King Qi With His Highness at his side, it was difficult to do anything.

"Go back to the master and start the second plan."
