Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 389
Even though it was in the ice and snow, the tent was still warm. Gu Lingqing was afraid that Zhao Min would be afraid of the cold, so he ordered someone to move two stoves and put them in the tent.

Seeing the slight sweat dripping from Zhao Min's forehead, Gu Lingqing got up and went to the side to get a cloth, came back and sat down to gently wipe Zhao Min off.

"Ling Qing... Ling Qing..."

Zhao Min fell asleep in a daze, and when Gu Lingqing wiped her sweat, she muttered to herself in her sleep.

Gu Lingqing heard that she was calling herself in her sleep, so she wiped her sweat more gently.

Just when he was about to get up and leave to put down the cloth after wiping, Zhao Min suddenly grabbed Gu Lingqing's hand.

"Don't leave me...Ling Qing...you...be sure...come back safely..."

After saying these words intermittently, Zhao Min smacked his mouth.

The tenderness in Gu Lingqing's eyes was even worse, she didn't get up anymore, she just sat on the edge of the bed, casually put the cloth aside, let her hold her hand, patted her forehead lightly, leaned over her ear She said softly, "Hey, I won't leave, I will stay by your side."

Zhao Min seemed to have really heard Gu Lingqing's voice, holding his hand, a faint smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and he slept more soundly.

Gu Lingqing just let Zhao Min hold her hand, until she recovered the sound of even breathing, then gently took her hand out of her hand, and started at the table. unfinished business.

Zhao Min slowly opened her eyes and saw that the tent was still lit. Because the tent was very hot, her quilt had already been kicked into a mess by her.

At the beginning, Gu Lingqing would get up and help her cover when she saw this, but after three or four times, Gu Lingqing realized that Zhao Min really felt very hot, thinking that the temperature in the tent was so high that she would not catch a cold, so she let her go .

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Min may have been a little confused just after waking up, and didn't realize it for a while, where is it?

"You're awake." Seeing Zhao Min sitting up, Gu Lingqing quickly put down the brush in her hand and walked towards her.

After hearing Gu Lingqing's voice, Zhao Min realized that he was in his tent now, watched him walking towards him, and smiled at him: "What time is it now?"

Zhao Min rubbed her eyes, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little sleepy."

Maybe because Zhao Min just woke up now, her face was too red, as if she had put on a bright red blush, and her lips were moist.

Looking at this scene, Gu Lingqing swallowed unconsciously, sat beside Zhao Min, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked her face: "Go on to sleep, it's not dawn yet, but it's only late at night .”

"Really?" Zhao Min turned her head slightly, looking at the light of the bonfire outside, and realized that she woke up after sleeping until midnight.

"It's all my fault. Yesterday, no, I went to bed too early this afternoon, which directly disrupted the rest time."

Then Zhao Min glanced at the table where Gu Lingqing was doing business just now, and couldn't help but glared at him, with a very reproachful tone: "It's so late, why are you still doing business? Go to bed quickly, don't you have to get up early tomorrow morning?" Do you want to train the soldiers yourself?"

"okay."

Gu Lingqing stared straight at Zhao Min, didn't listen to what she said at all, just watched her small mouth open and close, and nodded when she saw her lips no longer opened and closed.

Zhao Min blushed a little from his straight eyes, and immediately stretched out his arm to hit his arm: "What are you looking at?"

"Min'er, you're leaving the day after tomorrow." Gu Lingqing's eyes were full of lust, and Zhao Min, who was looking directly at her, lowered her head in embarrassment.

In the past two days, Gu Lingqing has not troubled Zhao Min because she was tired from such a long journey, and she is about to leave now. Seeing that she is sleeping so energetically, Gu Lingqing no longer wants to suppress her true inner thoughts, and kisses her directly. Zhao Min.

Maybe Zhao Min hasn't been with Gu Lingqing for a long time, she didn't struggle at all, and obeyed him.

The fire next to it made crackling sounds from time to time, and Zhao Min groaned hard to endure from the bed.

Until, the exhausted Zhao Min fell asleep in Gu Lingqing's arms.

Gu Lingqing hugged Zhao Min, hugged her to her chest, leaned sideways and gently kissed her forehead, and then fell asleep.

The two people leaning on each other had satisfied smiles on the corners of their mouths.

"Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you."

After hearing Eunuch Li's voice, the emperor, who was correcting the document, didn't raise his head, but said softly, "Let him in."

Afterwards, the prince came in and knelt down under the emperor: "I see my father."

Only then did the emperor put the brush in his hand on the inkstone next to him, and raised his head to look at him: "Prince, get up."

After Gu Zixing stood up, she stood on the spot and looked at the emperor: "Father, my ministers are here today to discuss something."

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes were full of teasing. He looked at the prince, but did not rush to speak, and said to Eunuch Li next to him, "Okay, you all go down first."

After Eunuch Li led the other eunuchs and servants out, the emperor asked the prince, "What's the matter?"

"Father, I overheard the Crown Princess mentioning something a few days ago. After thinking about it for a long time, I always felt something was wrong, so I came here to report the doubts in my mind."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his head and looked at Gu Zixing firmly: "What makes the prince so worried?"

There was a flash of doubt in the prince's eyes: "I heard that the Xiao family and his wife made every effort to protect Princess Ling from leaving the palace that day."

"That's right." Hearing Gu Zixing mention this matter, the emperor's expression also sank, this matter was also an unpleasant experience in his heart.

"Father, this General Xiao has always defended Gu Lingqing's words. No matter before or now, his heart is always biased towards Gu Lingqing."

What the prince said was right. The emperor couldn't help but fell into the long-term memories. He didn't remember how many years ago. At that time, he wanted to eradicate Gu Lingqing completely. It was only as a last resort that the child was sent to the countryside.

Unexpectedly, now that he has grown up, this child is not only not stupid anymore, but also gradually becomes courageous and resourceful.

Under the eyes of all the people, the world is full of mouths, and the emperor can't do anything to Gu Lingqing. He needs an opportunity and a motive.

Fortunately, Gu Lingqing has not revealed any ambitions or motives. After he brings Gu Qi back to the city, the emperor will naturally have his own ideas.
