Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 242
Zhao Min didn't know how long he had been locked in this dark basement. Every day, Gu Qi delivered things to Zhao Min with three meals a day, but Zhao Min was groggy every day, and he didn't count carefully.

After waking up this time, Zhao Min realized that perhaps Gu Qi put something in his meal, which made his spirit so sluggish.

Perhaps it was because the air in the closed basement was not very well circulated, resulting in a very turbid smell, so Zhao Min didn't smell anything wrong in the food at first.

"Clap" sound.

When Zhao Min was still immersed in his own thoughts, he saw a bright light in the corner, and then saw Gu Qi's figure appearing in his sight, and walked down slowly.

Zhao Min quickly closed her eyes, and after a while, she felt the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer until she stopped by the bed.

Gu Qi looked at Zhao Min who was still breathing evenly on the bed, frowned, and muttered to himself: "No, why are you still awake..."

Gu Qi was not in a hurry, he didn't have the intention of waking Zhao Min up. He put the food on the table beside him, sat on the stool, stared at the direction where Zhao Min was lying, and sat quietly like this. with.

Although Zhao Min closed his eyes, he could feel the breath of another person in the house, and he couldn't sleep. He just felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't sleep at all. He opened his eyes slowly, and deliberately made a noise to make Gu Qi feel uncomfortable. hear.

After Gu Qi heard the voice, with a smile on his face, he walked to the bedside and looked at Zhao Min, and said with a smile, "Min'er, you're awake." His tone was very gentle, as if he was a lover who is getting along with each other day and night. .

After Zhao Min gave an unnatural "um", he struggled to sit up, but Gu Qi saw it and quickly helped her up.

During Zhao Min's actions, the iron chains on his hands and feet made a condensed voice: "Can you untie the chains on my hands and feet? I'm locked here by you and I can't get out. I wear it every day." I feel so bad, it hurts."

Gu Qi stood up, took out a torch from his waist, lit the candle beside him, took the table with the candle, walked to Zhao Min's side, took her hand up, and sure enough, he saw the light in her wrist It was indeed a little red and swollen from the friction of the iron chain.

"I'm sorry, Min'er." Gu Qi's eyes were full of guilt, he even lowered his head, and gently kissed Zhao Min's wrist.

Feeling the touch on her wrist, Zhao Min retracted subconsciously, but Gu Qi grabbed her wrist tightly, failing to let her succeed, and then kissed lightly: "Min'er, You can bear it for a few more days, after a few days, I will take you out of this place, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Qi raised his head and looked at Zhao Min with hope in his eyes.

The candlelight hit his face, obviously he said these words very gently, but Zhao Min felt that the current Gu Qi was very scary.

Zhao Min lowered his head and did not speak. After all, Gu Qi's way of thinking is a little crazy now, and he is afraid that if he accidentally provokes his anger, it will be a consequence that he cannot bear.

However, Gu Qi took Zhao Min's silence as her acquiescence, instead, he happily walked to the table, picked up the food he brought just now: "Come on, Min'er, I will feed you."

Zhao Min looked at the food in front of him. To be honest, Gu Qi really "takes care" of himself, bringing him various delicacies in different ways every day, but in Zhao Min's mouth, It's also tasteless, especially when there are other things in her meal, she is a little bit resistant to eating these meals.

Seeing Zhao Min not eating, Gu Qi frowned slightly, and moved the spoon in his hand to her mouth again: "Hey, open your mouth."

Zhao Min looked at the food right next to her mouth, opened her mouth slightly, chewed a few mouthfuls and then swallowed it, she had no other choice, didn't she?

Sure enough, Zhao Min felt a little dizzy after eating the meal.

Gu Qi helped her lie on the bed, Zhao Min slowly closed her eyes, only felt Gu Qi caressing her face, and said softly: "Min'er, you should have a good sleep."

Then fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Qi came out of the secret room and restored the bookcase to its original state, he heard the sound of arguing at the door.

"Princess, you really can't go in. The prince is correcting important papers inside. He said that no one should disturb him, and no one will see him."

Zheng Yihui looked at Cunran who was kneeling in front of her in fear and fear, and felt even more impatient. This little guy is used to going against her.

"Bengong personally cooks and makes some pastries for the prince. The prince corrects the papers, and he just fills his stomach when he is tired. Why bother? Get out of the way of the prince!"

Just when the two sides were arguing, the door was opened by Gu Qi from the inside. He frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, and yelled: "Noisy, what does it look like?"

Zheng Yihui saluted Gu Qi: "Your Highness, my concubine just now..."

Before she could explain, she saw Gu Qi's complexion pulled, and his tone was very impatient: "How can you say that you are also the princess of this Nuo Dawang's mansion, how can you be so ignorant of prudence?"

Listening to Gu Qi's attitude, Zheng Yihui's thoughts turned back and forth in her heart, and she finally chose to be patient: "What Your Highness said is that the concubine was rude."

Seeing Zheng Yihui who was still squatting, still maintaining a saluting posture, Gu Qi stepped forward and helped her up: "This king was indeed dealing with important matters just now. It’s just a servant’s duty, don’t take it too seriously.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qi winked at Cunran who was kneeling by the side, and Cunran immediately kowtowed to Zheng Yihui a few times: "I also ask the princess to forgive me, the slave didn't mean to bump into the princess just now."

Gu Qi's typical behavior of slapping and giving a sweet date also made Zheng Yihui have to live with face. It is impossible for her dignified princess to hold on to this little servant, right?What's more, no one could see that he was blessed by Gu Qi.

"Get up, what His Highness said is that you have only done your duty."

Gu Qi took Zheng Yihui's wrist and walked into the study: "The princess is here at this hour, but is there something important?"

Zheng Yihui glanced back, and the servant who followed her immediately came up, and saw that she was holding a tray in her hand.

"The weather is cold these days, and His Highness has a lot of things to do, so the concubine cooks some snacks and sweet soup for His Highness. Your Highness must not neglect your own health when dealing with official duties."

Gu Qi looked at the tray in the servant's hand, and pointed to the table next to him: "Put it there."

After the maid put the things down, Gu Qi directly issued the order to evict the guests: "The princess has a heart, and the king will eat it, but there are really important things to deal with now."

Gu Qi's words were all on this point, Zheng Yihui didn't understand what he meant, and immediately blessed her body: "The concubine will retire first."

After Zheng Yihui left, Gu Qi's eyes did not stop at the desserts on the table.
