Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 394
Because Zhao Min was going back to the imperial city tomorrow morning, so Gu Lingqing didn't stay outside for a long time tonight, and returned to the tent as soon as it got dark.

At this time, Zhao Min was eating. Seeing Gu Lingqing came back, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why haven't you eaten so early today? Come and eat together."

"Okay." Gu Lingqing gently put aside the cloak she was wearing, walked to the fire, and roasted for a while to drive away the cold air on her body.

Feeling that her body was not so cold, Gu Lingqing walked to Zhao Min's side and sat down.

He didn't want the cold on his body to infect Zhao Min, it would be terrible if he got sick.

After seeing him sit down, Zhao Min handed him the chopsticks on the table.

This is a habit of Zhao Min, and it used to be like this when she was at home. She would always prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, because Gu Lingqing has always been like this, from time to time.

So she always prepares an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. In fact, she still has some small expectations in her heart, in case he comes back to eat with her.

Isn't this watermelon coming in handy now?There is no need to bother others to run to get him the bowls and chopsticks.

The two of them ate quietly, during which no one spoke, feeling the warmth and tranquility of this moment.

After eating, Zhao Min and Gu Lingqing sat around the stove and warmed their hands, feeling the warmth of their bodies. Zhao Min's whole body was lazily nestled in Gu Lingqing's arms.

"You're leaving tomorrow, alas..." Gu Lingqing sighed deeply, and this sigh contained too much emotion.

"It's okay." Zhao Min also knew that Gu Lingqing was very worried about him, but due to his duties, he could only stay in Wangcheng. Otherwise, Zhao Min believed that with his usual style, he would be able to personally send himself back to the imperial city.

However, Zhao Min took such a big risk when he came to Wangcheng this time, in order to see Gu Lingqing and fill the room with his longing, not to make trouble for him.

"You still don't believe me, I'm so smart, so I was able to return to the imperial city safely!" Zhao Min didn't want to make Gu Lingqing worry too much, his tone was very brisk, and he said lightly, "Besides, there are Qingfeng and so many hidden guards. Protect me, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Gu Lingqing held Zhao Min's hand tightly, and didn't speak after hearing what she said, but the worry in her eyes didn't fade away.

Even if Gu Lingqing understands that Qingfeng is highly skilled in martial arts, logically speaking, there should be no accidents along the way, but he still can't help worrying, after all, this is the person he puts on top of his heart, and he will not worry about any accidents or mistakes. Can't bear it.

"By the way." Thinking of this, Zhao Min suddenly remembered what he told Gu Lingqing this morning, "Did you help me find two ragged cotton clothes?"

"Of course I did." Gu Lingqing came back to her senses, lowered her head, and kissed Zhao Min's forehead before replying.

Regarding Zhao Min's matter, Gu Lingqing has always been concerned about it, and she went to handle it as soon as she left the tent this morning.

"That's good." After all, Zhao Min was on the road alone, so it would be more appropriate to pretend.

"Come here." Zhao Min got up from Gu Lingqing's arms, took his hand and walked to the medicine box that had already been instructed to him, and told him again tirelessly.

During this process, Gu Lingqing showed no sign of impatience, secretly remembered Zhao Min's words in her heart, stared at her face quietly, and wanted to engrave her face deeply in her mind.

Zhao Min babbled a lot, seeing that Gu Lingqing hadn't spoken, turned his head away, seeing him staring at him like this, he couldn't help raising his hand and knocking on his head: "Look at me, I'm too chattering, maybe Jia Mingyun is here, he knows all these medicines, if you forget to ask him at that time, it will be fine, wait a moment..."

Before Zhao Min finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Lingqing's tight hug.

Gu Lingqing hugged Zhao Min tightly, leaning her chin on her shoulder without saying a word.

Zhao Min felt his warm embrace, with a smile on her face, she raised her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Don't worry about me, but you, you must be careful, be careful, I want you to appear in front of me intact."

Zhao Min gently pushed Gu Lingqing away, withdrew from his embrace, raised his head, touched his face with his right hand, and looked at him affectionately: "Promise me, okay?"

Gu Lingqing nodded, solemn as an oath: "I promise you, I will definitely appear in front of you safe and sound."

"Okay." The two of them just looked at each other affectionately, without saying any more words, all the words were in the eyes of the two of them, there was no need to express their feelings for each other by unnecessary words.

That night, Zhao Min slept in Gu Lingqing's arms, the two of them did nothing, just cuddling each other quietly.

After hearing the sound of Zhao Min's even breathing, Gu Lingqing, who had her eyes closed, opened them, gently put Zhao Min aside from her arms, and got off the bed carefully.

In the dark night, a ghostly figure flashed by, and Gu Lingqing came to the woods outside the camp.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Gu Lingqing called softly: "Qingfeng."

Not long after, a black figure appeared in front of Gu Lingqing, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head: "Master."

The reason why the shadow is called the shadow is that without the master's call, it cannot appear in front of Gu Lingqing at will.

Ever since Zhao Min came, Gu Lingqing hadn't looked for Qingfeng. Now that Zhao Min was leaving, he had to tell him something personally.

"Before..."

Hearing that Gu Lingqing spoke, Qingfeng's body paused, and his head couldn't help but lowered even lower, but he didn't open his mouth to defend himself: "This subordinate knows his mistake, please punish him."

Gu Lingqing put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and stared at the top of Qingfeng's head, and then raised her head: "I will not pursue the matter before. This time, when the princess returns to the imperial city, she must ensure her safety."

"Yes." For Gu Lingqing's order, no matter what kind of Qingfeng will obey, "Even if you lose this subordinate's life, you will definitely send the princess to the imperial city safely."

"No." Gu Lingqing vetoed Qingfeng's statement, stretched out his right hand to help him up from the ground, and looked at him with fixed eyes, "I want you, the princess, and brothers to return to the imperial city safely .”

Although Shadow is an organization cultivated by Gu Lingqing and is his subordinate, but to them, Gu Lingqing really treats them as his own, which can be seen from his self-proclaimed.

"This subordinate understands." Qingfeng's eyes showed a touch of emotion, "I will definitely live up to my master's entrustment."

Seeing that her purpose of coming out had been achieved, Gu Lingqing didn't say much anymore, turned around and left.

Back in the tent, looking at Zhao Min who was still sleeping soundly, Gu Lingqing didn't rush to the bed, instead, she warmed her body by the stove before going to lie down.

As soon as she lay down, Zhao Min hugged Gu Lingqing tightly with her hands and feet like an octopus.

Bearing this sweet burden, Gu Lingqing also smiled knowingly, and fell asleep with her arms around Zhao Min.
