Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 261
When Xiao Yichen saw Gu Lingqing coming in, he didn't show any surprise, as if he had expected it.

"You're here." Xiao Yichen got up from the desk, walked to the chair and sat down, "Sit."

Gu Lingqing sat down beside Xiao Yichen, only to see Xiao Yichen picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup, pushed it in front of Gu Lingqing, then poured himself another cup, then took it up, and took a sip: "Good tea."

Gu Lingqing, however, had no intention of drinking tea: "I came to you to discuss something important."

Xiao Yichen put down the teacup in his hand: "Oh? What's the matter, as long as I, Xiao, can help, I will do my best to help."

"You also know that the emperor ordered me to set off immediately. After reorganizing the [-] troops, I will set off before dawn tomorrow morning. After I leave, Zhao Min will stay alone in the imperial city. I don't feel at ease, and I hope you can take care of me .”

For this proposal, Xiao Yichen was a little surprised: "Why did you entrust Zhao Min to my care?"

Because from Xiao Yichen's point of view, Gu Lingqing was unwilling to let himself get too close to Zhao Min, besides what happened last time.

He concluded that Gu Lingqing would come to find him tonight, so he has been waiting for him, but he didn't expect this, Xiao Yichen thought that he would ask him to go to Wangcheng with him.

"Because I believe in my princess, and I also believe in you, besides, you don't hate each other, do you?" Gu Lingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him with straight eyes.

Xiao Yichen nodded, what Gu Lingqing said was correct, since the first time he saw Zhao Min, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"I can trust you, right?" Although it was a question, Gu Lingqing smiled, and already had the answer in his heart.

Xiao Yichen lowered his head and laughed softly: "I thought you came to me tonight because you wanted me to attack Wangcheng with you. It seems that I underestimated you."

"Hehe." Gu Lingqing let out a few hearty laughs, "Although I have no actual combat experience, I am confident in sending troops this time."

"Confidence is a good thing, but you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity." Xiao Yichen told him carefully, and put forward his own opinion, "It's your first time leading troops into battle, don't be impetuous, and you have to think more about everything before making a decision."

Gu Lingqing nodded, stood up, and clasped his fists at Ivory: "I hope Brother Xiao will pay more attention to Zhao Min's movements during my absence, so that he can help her a bit if something happens."

Xiao Yichen nodded, and also understood what Gu Lingqing meant. He was a man after all, and it was inconvenient to have direct contact with Zhao Min, but he still made his promise: "Don't worry, I will help you look after anything."

"Then thank you here. When I return triumphantly, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank Brother Xiao."

During the conversation with Xiao Yichen this time, Gu Lingqing called himself "me" throughout the whole process, which is enough to show his sincerity.

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness Ling Wang who needs to leave early tomorrow, Xiao will definitely have a long talk with him today." Xiao Yichen's eyes showed some appreciation.

After all these incidents, Xiao Yichen and Gu Lingqing felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and the acquaintance of the two could be said to be inseparable.

Gu Lingqing chuckled: "That's for sure." Then she walked out the door, "It's really inconvenient today, so we can make an appointment another day."

Xiao Yichen looked at the back of Gu Lingqing leaving, although his pace was hurried, but very calm, just like him, it must be a good choice for Zhao Min to marry him.

When this idea popped up in Xiao Yichen's mind, he immediately frowned, he and Zhao Min only met once, why did he think so much.

Xiao Yichen lowered his head, shook his head with a light smile, and then entered the study.

It was almost early morning when Gu Lingqing returned to the mansion, and Nanny Gu had already helped him to carry the clothes and daily necessities needed for this trip to Wangcheng.

Seeing that Nanny Gu was still busy, Gu Lingqing sat on a chair and greeted her: "Mommy, come here, I will tell you something."

Nanny Gu put down the things in her hands, walked in front of Gu Lingqing and blessed her body: "If you have anything to do, just ask the prince."

"I don't know how long I will go to fight this time. It will take some time just to go to Wangcheng. I guess the weather will be warm when I come back."

Nanny Gu kept nodding her head in agreement, she didn't expect Gu Lingqing to say so much this time.

"You take good care of the princess with Qinlan in the palace. She has gone through such dangerous things this time, and she is not in good health. You must let her take care of her body and don't go out easily on weekdays." Gu Lingqing seemed to have endless instructions. if.

"My lord, don't worry, this old slave will look after the princess." Gu Momo looked at the person she had looked up to since childhood, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Lingqing nodded: "The concubine has her own ideas, so you don't have to be too restrained with her, just be careful not to make her do anything out of line."

Gu Momo looked at Gu Lingqing, feeling very emotional in her heart, a person who was so taciturn before would actually say so much for the woman he loves.

"Okay." Although Gu Lingqing wanted to tell Nanny Gu with a thousand words in his heart, he couldn't say anything for a while, so he waved to her immediately, "Go out first, I'm alone stay a while."

Nanny Gu saluted, turned around and was about to go out, but when she walked to the door, she heard Gu Lingqing's voice slowly rising from behind: "Mommy, you should also pay attention to your body."

Nanny Gu nodded with her back to him: "I know, thank you, my lord, for your concern." Tears flowed down her eyes as soon as she closed her eyes, then she turned and went out.

After Nanny Gu went out, Gu Lingqing walked to the desk, sat down, closed her eyes, but did not fall asleep, her mind was completely about how to deal with Gu Qi after arriving in Wangcheng.

"Master, it's almost time, it's time to set off."

Qingfeng appeared in the study, reminding Gu Lingqing.

Gu Lingqing slowly opened his eyes, looked at the white-bellied scenery outside the sky, turned around and walked inside, and when he came out again, he had already changed into a suit of armor.

"Qingfeng, you stay in the palace to protect the princess."

When Qingfeng heard this, he frowned immediately: "Master, I..."

"Needless to say, the safety of the princess is more important than mine." Gu Lingqing didn't want to hear any refutation.

Qingfeng had no choice but to clasp her fists to Gu Lingqing: "Yes, master, my subordinates will definitely protect the princess even if they risk their own lives."

Gu Lingqing passed him, opened the door of the study, looked at the light outside, squinted slightly, it was time to fight.
