Although Mrs. Tai is old, her heart is still tenacious.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Tai stopped crying and sent the order: "Pass my words to the three rooms of the long room, and let everyone come to the Zhenghe Hall." ”

A few maids immediately took the order to retreat.

The second room is now empty, Gu Jinxing and his wife in the long room Gu Jinzhi and his wife rushed to hear the news immediately, Gu Jinli was on duty in the palace today, and the Fang family led his daughter-in-law Fang Yunxiu and his concubine Gu Guanyue also came.

Wu has been in poor spirits lately and moves a little slower.

When Wu stepped into Zhenghe Hall, he was immediately shocked that something was wrong.

Mrs. Tai's eyes were red, Gu Jinxing knew that her brothers were all in tears, and even the Fang family was crying quietly.

A thick shadow instantly hit my heart like a dark cloud.

Wu's heart was cold, and a smile appeared on his face: "What's the matter? Why are you all so ugly? Brother and sister, you too, quickly wiped away your tears. ”

Speaking of which, I was stunned to avoid Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and her voice was extremely obscure and hoarse: "Wu, Yueniang specially returned to the house to deliver the letter. Border Pass sent the battle report back, and the boss ......"

"Mother-in-law," Wu's body was extremely tense, his expression was stiff, his mind was blank, and he spoke incoherently: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest first." If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it another day. ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

It was as if by avoiding all this, she could avoid the worst news she wanted to hear.

“…… There was a traitor in the army, and when the boss led the troops to fight, someone behind him plotted. The boss was killed by an arrow. Mrs. Tai's voice seemed to come from the clouds, ethereal, and it was very unreal.

When I heard the bad news, my heart was filled with great sorrow. Wu, you must also hold on, and you must not fall...... Wu!"

When Mrs. Tai exclaimed, everyone saw that Wu's legs were weak and he fell to the ground.

Gu Jinxing couldn't cry, and Gu Jinzhi rushed forward.

Cui Junyao had a big belly that was about to give birth, and her movement was very inconvenient and weak. Liu and Fang Yunxiu were quite considerate and helped her forward together.

Wu's face was colorless, and he was barely breathing in his nose.

Gu Jinxing pinched the Wu family hard, and shouted: "Quick, let someone invite a doctor." ”

……

Chen Yueniang specially brought the life-saving ginseng pill with her to come in handy.

This is a ginseng pill prepared by Xu Cang with ginseng that is more than 100 years old and dozens of precious medicinal materials. As long as a person still has a breath, taking a ginseng pill can keep this breath continuous, which can be called a good medicine for life. A ginseng pill is worth 100 gold.

Wu's blood attacked his heart and he was unconscious. If I hadn't fed it with a ginseng pill with water, I was afraid that I would have swallowed it on the spot.

Dr. Li was invited into the house to give first aid to Wu.

Wu woke up half an hour later, staring blankly at the roof. She didn't hear anyone talking in her ear.

Gu Jinxing's eyes were red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The Wu family is not mean to the concubine, Gu Jinzhi saw the Wu family like this, and his heart was quite sour, he sniffed and said, "Big brother, it's good for my mother to wake up." This kind of bad news is that you and I can't hold it for a while. It will take some time for my mother to recover. ”

Now is not the time to be sad.

Because there are more important things waiting for them.

Gu Jinxing replied in a nasal voice, wiping his tears with his sleeve. Then he whispered to the Fang family: "Third aunt, please accompany your mother." I'm going to see my grandmother. ”

Fang Shi nodded and silently watched Gu Jinxing leave. Then, he sighed secretly.

Gu Song is dead, and next, someone has to ask for an order to guard the border pass.

Gu Jinxing is the eldest son of Gu Song, and he is also the son of the Marquis of Dingbei who was officially canonized by the imperial court. At this moment, he must step up and be responsible.

……

This point is not only clear to the Fang family, but also everyone in the Gu family understands.

In just a few moments, Gu Jinxing experienced the pain of his father's death, and he had to take on the heavy responsibility of the prince of Dingbei.

He strode up to Mrs. Tai and knelt down with a plop: "Grandmother, it will take several days to send the war report to the capital at the border gate. In other words, it has been some time since my father died in battle. The situation at the border must be very critical. ”

"I beg my grandmother to immediately ask for a decree on behalf of my grandson. ”

Looking at Gu Jinxing with a firm face, Mrs. Tai's heart trembled fiercely.

Before Mrs. Tai could speak, Cui Junyao, who was standing on the side, had already turned pale and shook her body a few times. Liu and Fang Yunxiu were shocked, and hurriedly helped Cui Junyao: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Gu Jinxing looked up. is meeting Cui Junyao's eyes full of tears.

My heart suddenly mourned.

Can you ...... Can you not go? The baby in my womb has not yet been born. Do you want him to not know what his father is like when he is born?

Cui Junyao couldn't say a word, and her vague tears revealed a poignant pleading.

Gu Jinxing's nose was sour, holding back tears, and shook his head slightly at Cui Junyao.

I'm sorry, A-Yao.

I can't bear you, I can't bear the child that will be born in your womb, and I can't bear our handsome brother. However, since the day I became the prince of Dingbei, I have been ready to go to the border at any time.

When a man is alive, he can't just care about his children's affection. Defending my family and the country is my unshirkable responsibility.

Mrs. Tai saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart became more and more sour.

Decades ago, when she sent her husband to war, she was at a loss and in pain. Later, it was her son's turn to go to the border, she was strong on the surface, but in fact she couldn't sleep at night.

Now, it is finally the turn of the eldest grandson, Gu Jinxing.

"Cui's," Mrs. Tai looked at Cui Junyao first: "You are about to give birth, and your emotions should not fluctuate too much." Let's go back and rest for a while!"

Cui Junyao's tears had already slid down her cheeks, but she stubbornly refused to leave: "Thank you grandmother for your kindness." I can hold on. ”

Can it really?

Everyone looked at Cui Junyao, whose face was pale and trembling with tears, as if they had eaten a yellow lotus, and their hearts were bitter.

It's just that Cui Junyao refuses to leave, and she can't be forced to go.

Mrs. Tai glanced at Cui Junyao deeply, no longer persuaded more, and turned her head to look at Gu Jinxing: "Be careful, you have to think about it." This time I went to the border gate, I don't know how long the battle will take, let alone when I will be able to come back. Are you really going to take the initiative to go?"

Gu Jinxing took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice, "Yes." I am the son of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the grandson of the Gu family. My father died in battle, and I, as a son, naturally had to replace my father and continue to guard the border passes. ”

"The border pass is quite far away from the capital, and it takes more than ten days to arrive day and night. There is a loss of border passes, and it is the people of Daqin who suffer. Time is urgent, and there is no hesitation. Please ask my grandmother to ask for my name immediately!"
