Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 554 Delivering the Message

In the past two days, Gu Lingqing did not directly participate in the process of reorganizing all the soldiers in Wangcheng. Now he uses these people whom he fully trusts and believes in their abilities, so he doesn't need to worry about them at all.

In the past two days, Gu Lingqing did nothing else but was studying the letter he found in Gu Qi's study. Afterwards, he also searched Gu Qi's study himself, and found no other institutions.

And Gu Lingqing didn't waste the two days in vain. As the day was approaching dusk, Gu Lingqing finally noticed the mystery in the letter.

This letter uses a special method, which can only be used by those who know it. Gu Lingqing knew what he meant when Gu Qi told himself the location of the letter before he died. You can figure it out as soon as you think about it.

With this letter, Gu Lingqing has studied thoroughly, which is equivalent to having a way to communicate with the prince.

The seven killers sent by the prince have all died, and the imperial city does not know the specific situation of Wangcheng.

That night, after discussing with Yan Dong and others, Gu Lingqing decided to temporarily hide the real situation on Wangcheng's side.He sent someone with a bright face to report to the emperor, saying that he had successfully captured Wangwang City and captured Gu Qi alive.

For the emperor, Gu Lingqing can't completely trust, because now he can't be sure about the collusion between the prince and Gu Qi, whether the emperor knows, and whether he has always maintained a tacit attitude towards the prince's actions.

If this is the case, then the emperor's ultimate goal is to put himself to death.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingqing narrowed her eyes and became more determined in her mind.

And for the credibility of the news he sent, Gu Lingqing also sent Chen Guangtian to handle this matter. Chen Guangtian was originally the city guard general of Wangcheng, so it was very appropriate to send him to send this news.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Chen Guangtian followed Gu Qi only for the sake of the Lord, so how can there be any distinction between good and evil?Now that Gu Qi was dead, Chen Guangtian also recognized the situation, Gu Lingqing ordered him to do this matter, and Chen Guangtian agreed.

However, in order to prevent Chen Guangtian from changing his mind midway, Gu Lingqing sent Lu Nan, who had fought against him, to go to the imperial city with him, and the two of them would send the news to the imperial city together.

The two took their orders and left. In the middle of the night, Gu Lingqing sneaked into Lu Nan's room.

Gu Lingqing's martial arts are superior to Lu Nan's, and no one noticed this way.

When Lu Nan, who was sleeping soundly, noticed something abnormal in the room, he opened his eyes and found a black figure standing in front of his bed.

Lu Nan was startled immediately, and touched the dagger under his pillow, wanting to attack the black figure standing in front of him.

"it's me."

Gu Lingqing slowly spit out two words.

When he heard the voice of this person was Gu Lingqing, Lu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the dagger, and turned to get up from the bed: "My lord, why are you here?"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lu Nan wanted to go forward to light up the lights, but Gu Lingqing stopped him.

Gu Lingqing took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Help me deliver this letter to the concubine who is temporarily staying in the general's mansion. Remember, don't say anything, don't let anyone know."

Although the room was very dark and Lu Nan couldn't see Gu Lingqing's expression, he could tell how important and serious this matter was from his tone.

"Okay." Lu Nan carefully accepted the envelope, knowing that Gu Lingqing came to find him late at night, and this matter needs to be done very secretly.

"Tomorrow morning, you and General Chen should set off early, don't delay the business."

After Gu Lingqing gave such an order, she quickly left Lu Nan's room.

Looking at the empty room, Lu Nan wanted to get up and put the letter in the luggage he had prepared, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not safe, so he put it close to his body.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Lu Nan and Chen Guangtian set off for the imperial city.

Standing on the city wall, Gu Lingqing narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the figures of the two riding horses getting further and further away.

"Command down." Gu Lingqing looked at the scenery in the distance without looking back, and ordered to Yan Dong beside him, "Get ready with three thousand elite soldiers, and set off with me tomorrow. After three days, you will lead the rest of the troops, hurry up." Hurry to the imperial city without delay."

The time Gu Lingqing said in the letter asking Chen Guangtian to send to the emperor was five days later than the time he actually set off.

Gu Lingqing wants to see, what is the emperor's heart like?
Zhao Min, who is far away in the imperial city, is very worried about Gu Lingqing's current situation. She wants Gu Nanny to send Qingfeng to check the situation in Wangcheng.

However, Nanny Gu did not tell Qingfeng about this.

It was a mistake to take Zhao Min to Wangcheng without telling Gu Lingqing because of Qingfeng's soft heart last time.

After all, Qingfeng's main task is to protect Zhao Min by her side, and he absolutely cannot leave her side easily.

With Zhao Min feeling so anxious, the queen's birthday finally came.

Because Zhao Min lived in the general's mansion, he entered the palace with Jiang Yanran and his party.

In fact, when Wang Zimo woke up this morning, she felt that her spirits were not very good, but as Xiao Yichen's wife, how could she not show face and not attend the Queen's birthday?I can only brace myself to go to the banquet.

Xiao Yichen knew that Wang Zimo was not feeling well, so all the way out, he held Wang Zimo's arm tightly and greeted her with care.

When Xiao Mo supported Jiang Yanran's arm and came to the door, seeing this scene, she couldn't help being stunned, and then she pretended to be okay and turned her eyes away.

The crowd sat in several carriages and headed for the imperial city mightily.

When they reached the gate of the palace, they could no longer take the carriage, so everyone got off the carriage and walked to the palace where the palace banquet was held.

Along the way, I ran into other people who came to the banquet. Jiang Yanran was busy talking to people. Zhao Min didn't have much friendship with these people. She just nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Along the way, Zhao Min seemed a little absent-minded. When she woke up this morning, she only felt her heart beating violently, and even vomited once, always feeling a bad premonition.

No matter how restless Zhao Min felt, how long the road was, following behind everyone, he finally arrived at the place where the banquet was held.

Zhao Min and his party came not too early or too late, many people had already been seated in the palace, and today's protagonist, the Empress, naturally hadn't come yet.

Under the guidance of the eunuch of the palace, Zhao Min sat in the corresponding position, lowered his head, and had no intention of chatting with anyone.
