Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 190 Head-on Conflict
After the accident just now, Gu Lingqing planned to take Zhao Min back home. Gu Lingqing had already been eliminated, so there was no need to wait here until the end.

After Jia Mingyun left, Gu Lingqing went to worry about it, and saw Zhao Min looking at him with his head tilted, like a kitten waiting for its master to come home.

Gu Lingqing couldn't help but soften a little in her heart, she smiled, walked forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked her hair: "Why were you so stupid just now?"

Zhao Min smiled indifferently: "It's just an instinctive reaction."

Responding instinctively, these four words directly touched the deepest string in Gu Lingqing's heart.

That's right, when encountering a dangerous situation, Zhao Min's first reaction was to push herself away, she would rather get hurt than let herself get hurt.

Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, the young Gu Lingqing grew up surrounded by the ridicule of the people around him. Except for Mrs. Gu, he rarely felt this kind of love, let alone for his own life.

Thinking of Zhao Min's desperate efforts to block arrows for himself today, he felt distressed and blamed himself: "I won't let you get hurt again in the future."

Zhao Min looked at him with eyes full of love: "I believe in you."

Gu Lingqing suddenly put on a serious face, and lightly patted Zhao Min's forehead: "Don't do this again in the future, no matter what happens, you remember me, and if you encounter danger in the future, just go Hide behind me."

"Understood." Zhao Min agreed in a good voice, and knew that his behavior this time was a bit reckless, which made Gu Lingqing worried.

When such an accident happened, Gu Lingqing knew who was behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, she had made a perfect plan and thought of many possibilities, but she just missed the fact that Zhao Min would defend herself.

Next, I don't know what the prince will do next. Now that Zhao Min is injured, it is absolutely impossible for Gu Lingqing to continue to put Zhao Min in this dangerous situation.

Immediately, he lifted the quilt on her back and gently helped her up to avoid touching her wound: "It's not very safe here, let's go back home first."

Zhao Min also knew the meaning of his words, nodded and got up to put on his shoes.

Gu Lingqing pressed Zhao Min's shoulders: "Don't move." Then she squatted down and put on her shoes.

This touched Zhao Min's heart a lot. Although Gu Lingqing was not favored, she was still the young prince Gu. With such a noble status, she was willing to squat in front of her at this moment and put on shoes for herself. What kind of woman would she be? will have feelings.

After helping her put on her shoes, Gu Lingqing carefully helped her stand up from the bed.

Zhao Min straightened her body and didn't dare to make too many movements, for fear of hurting the wound on her back, she had to move her steps gently.

When the two of them just walked to the outer room, they said, "Boom, boom, boom." They heard a knock on the door, and both of them were stunned. After looking at each other, Gu Lingqing asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, brother, how is Zhao Min's injury?"

Hearing Gu Qi's voice, Gu Lingqing froze for a moment, patted Zhao Min's hand, went forward to open the door, and returned to that loving brother again: "Why are you here?"

"I was delayed by some things just now, and I just got out now, so I hurried to see how Zhao Min's injury is." Gu Qi's words were full of worry.

"I'm fine, Gu Qi, don't worry!" Before Gu Lingqing could answer, Zhao Min replied to his question.

Hearing Zhao Min's voice, Gu Qi took his own steps and entered the room.

When he saw Zhao Min standing in the middle of the room, Gu Qi frowned, and saw Zhao Min's face was a little pale, but he didn't look hurt at all: "Why don't you go to the bed and lie down, why are you standing here? "

After speaking, Gu Qi glanced at Gu Lingqing, his eyes were full of blame, as if he deliberately scolded Zhao Min.

"It's not safe here, I'm planning to take Zhao Min back home." Gu Lingqing put away the anomaly in her heart and explained.

Zhao Min felt the abnormality of the two brothers before, but because of the back injury, he didn't dare to move easily, so he could only persuade: "Gu Qi, don't worry, I'm going back home soon, go back home From now on, you must lie on the bed well, rest well, and lie on it for ten days and half a month."

However, Gu Qi didn't hear the persuasion in Zhao Min's words, and instead approached Gu Lingqing: "How did you protect Zhao Min? You let her block the sword for you in a critical moment?"

It was the first time that Gu Qi spoke to Gu Lingqing in such a tone. Zhao Min heard that, fearing that the two brothers would have some conflict, he stepped forward regardless of his own wounds: "If you have something to say, Gu Qi, how can you talk to your brother? ?”

Gu Qi turned his head aside and did not speak, and Gu Lingqing had no power to refute Gu Qi's accusation just now, because what he said were all facts.

However, even though she knew that what Gu Qi said was the truth, Gu Lingqing still couldn't accept him talking to her in such a tone, she was a little angry at the moment, Shanshan took Zhao Min's hand and walked out, but she still cared about her The wound slowed down the pace.

"Let's go, let's go home."

After the two people's backs disappeared completely, Gu Qi, who was standing there, made a move. Looking at the direction in which the two were leaving, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the door frame next to him.

There was no suspense about the result of this competition. After three rounds of competition, Gu Zixing finally came out on top.

It's just that it's not known how much water was mixed in it. Whether he won the championship with his own strength, or other people are willing to bear it. People say nothing.

The other men who participated in the competition looked indifferent and unwilling, but they all gathered around Gu Zixing to congratulate him. Gu Zixing also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone.

"If your eldest brother is here, he will definitely win the first place!"

At this time, in the auditorium, there were two people who arrived late, so they did not see the scene where Zhao Min was shot by an arrow.

I saw a woman wearing a light green skirt saying the above sentence to a woman wearing a pink skirt next to her.

The woman in the pink dress lowered her head and smiled, and said modestly, "Maybe."

The person who spoke was Xiao Mo, the adopted daughter of General Zhen Guo, and the man they were talking about was Xiao Yichen, the son of the general's mansion.

In the past few years, the Huns were rampant in the north, Xiao Yichen and his father Xiao Yanfeng had been attacking the Huns in the north, and they hadn't returned home for several years, even during Chinese New Year.

"Speaking of which, your father and elder brother will soon return to the imperial city, right?"

Xiao Mo froze for a moment, looked into the distance, and there was a flash of joy in her eyes, she nodded: "It's only been half a year."
