The voice was sonorous and firm.

Gu Wanning turned his head and stared at Ji Tong: "Are you willing?"

Ji Tong took a deep breath and replied categorically: "The slave is willing to accept the order, and there is no reluctance. ”

Gu Wanning's expression softened, and a shallow smile flashed in his eyes: "Okay, Ji Tong." From today onwards, I entrust Ah Yan's safety to you. I hope you treat Ah Yan like me and treat Ah Yan wholeheartedly. ”

Ji Tong solemnly responded.

Gu Guanning turned around and told Shen Jinyan to rest for a few days, and then stood up: "We have been out for so long, we should go back." ”

Xiao Xu snorted and stood up.

Shen Jinyan wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by Gu Guanning: "You have injuries on your body, so you should not move around." Just stay on the bed. When you are well, go back to the palace to see me. ”

Shen Jinyan nodded and agreed.

Gu Wanning and Xiao Xu left together.

The room soon fell silent again.

Shen Jinyan wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said to Ji Tong with some shame: "Ji Tong, I know you dare not disobey your sister's order. Actually, I didn't dare to disobey my sister. After a while, I'll go and talk to my sister again, you don't have to serve me all day......"

"Childe misunderstood," Ji Tong calmly interrupted Shen Jinyan: "What the slave said just now was from the bottom of his heart, and it was definitely not a fake. ”

Shen Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Are you really willing to stay by my side?"

Ji Tongrong should be: "Yes! The slave will wholeheartedly obey the orders of the son in the future." ”

Shen Jinyan's heart was hot. A warm current swells in my heart. He didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while he said, "Okay, if you are willing to follow me, I will never treat you badly in the future." ”

Ji Tong is a secret guard carefully cultivated by the Gu family, with excellent skills, loyalty, and shrewdness and decisiveness. In these years, he led 200 secret guards to go around to collect information, and he was able to do his errands.

There is a shortage of such a capable person around him.

……

After getting into the carriage, Gu Guanning remained silent, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded.

Xiao Xu, who was beside her, sighed lightly and reached out to wrap her shoulder: "A-Ning, I know you feel uncomfortable." Don't endure it like this, I feel uncomfortable looking at it. ”

Gu Wanning did not refuse Xiao Xu's comfort, leaned his head on his shoulder, and there was some loss and self-blame in his voice: "Xiao Xu, I think I take good care of Ah Yan. Actually, I wasn't as thoughtful as I thought. I didn't know that Ah Yan was having such a hard time. ”

By this time, the market had long since dispersed. Outside the carriage was quite quiet, except for the sound of the wheels turning and the clatter of the horse's hooves as the guards rode their horses.

There was a delicate and small wind lamp hanging on the roof of the car, and the soft and dim light sprinkled on Gu Wanning's face, illuminating her loneliness and self-blame.

Xiao Xu's heart also seemed to be pinched up, and his subordinates pressed her slightly, hugged her tighter, and whispered in her ear: "Ah Yan has grown up, and he is no longer the child who can only cry helplessly and even seek death when he encounters trouble." He doesn't want you to worry, he wants to get up and walk on his own, and that's a good thing. ”

"You are so obsessed, if you let Ah Yan know, wouldn't Ah Yan feel even more guilty?"

Gu Wanning sighed lightly: "In front of him, I won't say much." It's just that I really don't feel good in my heart. If it weren't for a sudden trip to Shantang today, I wouldn't even know that Ah Yan was injured. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be angry with Ji Tong: "This Ji Tong, even dare to hide such things from me, he is really getting bolder." ”

Xiao Xu looked down at Gu Wanning: "You gave Ji Tong to Ah Yan, was it a whim, or did you have a plan? Will you regret it in the future?"

Gu Guanning: "......"

Gu Wanning couldn't cry or laugh, and glared at Xiao Xu: "The matter of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, you still remember it, and you still have to eat two bites of this old vinegar." ”

Xiao Xu obviously didn't feel ashamed of being jealous, and responded confidently: "Look at the way he looked just now, as if you were going to abandon him." It's weird for me to be happy!"

I'm just careful, what should I do!

Gu Wanning looked at her husband with a sour face, feeling funny, and couldn't help but feel a trace of tenderness in her heart. Leaned over and kissed him lightly on the corner of his mouth: "I only have you in my heart, and there has never been anyone else." Besides, Ji Tong has already married a wife and had children, what else do you have to mind. ”

Xiao Xu was quite dissatisfied with the kiss that had reached the point, grabbed Gu Wanning's hand tightly, and kissed it back deeply.

Gu Wanning didn't dodge, and raised his head slightly.

……

It was a long time before the two were separated again.

Gu Wanning's cheeks were flushed, and he quickly tidied up his messy clothes, and by the way, he glared at Xiao someone, who was "inch by inch".

Xiao Xu smiled cheekily, the sourness in his heart finally disappeared, and he hugged Gu Guanning with satisfaction and whispered: "Staying in the palace every day, and having children making trouble, it is not easy to talk alone." It's much more comfortable to go out of the palace. From now on, I will accompany you to Ningning once a year. ”

A smile flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes: "This is what you said personally." I can't go back on it in the future!"

Xiao Xu had a straight face: "The words of the Son of Heaven are heavier than Mount Tai." Of course my words count. ”

Gu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled.

In the silence of the night, the carriage moved gently.

When I returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, it was already the middle of the night. All the people in the house fell asleep.

Gu Wanning didn't want to alarm anyone, so he and Xiao Xu quietly returned to Yiliu Courtyard.

Probably outside the palace, or perhaps because he slept in Gu Wanning's former boudoir, Xiao Xu was more excited than usual, pestering and making noise for half the night, and only fell asleep tired in the early hours of the morning.

The next morning, the emperor was late.

The three sisters and brothers were stopped by Linlang at the door, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that the emperor got up and came out to meet people.

"Mother is ashamed, Dad is ashamed!" Ah Chun scraped his white and tender face with his little hands: "I can't get up from bed, shame!"

Xiao Xu first laughed sullenly, and under Gu Wanning's embarrassed gaze, he immediately looked solemn and explained seriously: "I was out with your mother last night, and I came back late, so I got up late this morning. ”

Ah Chun was still young, so he believed it after a few words.

Gillian and Ah Yi glanced at each other, but they didn't get to the bottom of it.

Gu Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and led the children to Zhenghe Hall with Xiao Xu.

Mrs. Tai was inconvenient to count Xiao Xu, so she only glanced at Gu Wanning with disgust: "Such a big person, how can he still be bedridden." You stay in the house for nothing, and it's just later. But the emperor still has to go back to the palace to deal with political affairs. If you delay the business, what kind of face do you, the queen of the middle palace, have to face everyone?"

In this world, only Mrs. Tai dared to reprimand Queen Gu.
