Gu Beiyue whispered to the little shadow again, "Hmm." ”

The little shadow was curious, and her eyes went back and forth between her father and mother, and the more she looked, the more confused she became, and the more she waited, the more uneasy she became.

He never understood why his mother lived in Ningzhou with him, and why his father didn't come back once in three years.

Even during the Chinese New Year, his father did not come, only his mother accompanied him to set off fireworks in the snow.

My mother said that my father was busy, and he was busy with a lot of things, and he could only come back when he was done. However, he still couldn't figure it out, the emperor must be much busier, he heard Aunt Peony say that the emperor also brought the queen's mother, the prince and the little princess to the south to spend the winter in the plum garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

He had always suspected that his father and his mother had quarreled, and now that he looked at it like this, he was even more suspicious.

The little shadow thought for a while, and hurriedly leaned into her father's ear again, and said seriously, "Daddy, don't quarrel with your mother, your mother is a woman, let her let her." ”

Only then did Gu Beiyue realize that the little shadow had discovered that something was wrong between him and Qin Min.

He hurriedly said, "Madam, after three years, I have wronged you and the child." ”

Qin Min also came to his senses and said lightly, "The husband works hard for the state, and the concubine can't help, so she can't share the worries of the husband, how dare you blame it again?" ”

The two of them said this to each other, and then fell silent again.

The little shadow felt more and more that something was wrong, and the more and more sure that the two of them were quarreling, he looked at the two of them, thought for a long time, and leaned into his father's ear, "Daddy, you hug your mother, hug and it'll be fine." ”

When he occasionally loses his temper, as long as his mother hugs him, he doesn't need to say anything, he is not angry, depressed or sad.

He thought, his mother must be like this.

Gu Beiyue was about to speak, but who knows, Qin Min suddenly walked forward, hugged Gu Beiyue with his big arms, and also hugged the little shadow.

She said, "I can't help my husband, I can only ...... I miss you, and I hope that you are safe and healthy day and night. ”

Gu Beiyue froze clearly, this should be the second time in her life that she has been hugged by a woman, the first time was also in Ningzhou, and it was also Qin Min.

I don't know if the little shadow feels it? Just like the first time, Qin Min clearly sensed Gu Beiyue's stiffness.

A touch of anger flashed in her eyes, and she pinched Gu Beiyue behind her back.

Let him be stiff!

Let him be in a daze!

said that he had deceived the little shadow for a lifetime, and this was the first time they met, and he was about to be exposed.

If she freaks out her little shadow, she's really not done with him!

Qin Min was really ruthless, Gu Beiyue woke up in pain, and he also knew what Qin Min meant.

After all, he stretched out his hand, hugged her, and hugged her tightly, "For my husband, I also miss you and the child." ”

Qin Min buried his head on the little shadow's shoulder, Gu Beiyue lowered her head, and her smooth chin rested on the little shadow's head. The little shadow was caught in the middle by them, hugged tightly, and her heart blossomed with joy.

He always knew that he was an adopted son, although his mother loved him, but his father didn't come back for three years, and he was uneasy and suspicious after all.

Now, being hugged between his father and his mother, his heart has just fallen, and he feels that he is lucky and happy.

He said, "Daddy, don't be busy anymore, okay?" You're living here with us, okay? ”

Gu Beiyue didn't answer immediately, and Qin Min pinched him again. She still felt sorry for him, and instead of pinching in the old position, she changed positions.

"Well, stay for a month, and I'll take you to the imperial capital. The Taifu Mansion has already been built. Gu Beiyue's words are true.

Half a year ago, the palace was built, and last month, the outer city wall of the entire imperial capital was also completed.

The little shadow was overjoyed, "Mother, we will never be separated from Daddy again!" ”

"Well, not parting anymore!" Qin Min's voice was all smiling, but her eyes were full of complexity. She let go of Gu Beiyue, hugged the little shadow over, and said, "Shadow, Daddy has traveled a long way and is going to clean up, so he will rest this morning." ”

The little shadow immediately said, "Daddy, my mother found a spring in the back of the courtyard and dug a pool." The shadow accompanies you to the bath, but it is comfortable! ”

Qin Min hurriedly said, "Shadow, when is it, you have to sleep!" Let's go and sleep with my mother. ”

Gu Beiyue touched the little shadow's head and said softly, "Good, Daddy Ming'er personally taught you martial arts." There's something wrong with your footwork. ”

As soon as he heard that he had a problem with his footwork, Little Shadow became nervous, "What's wrong?" ”

"Go to bed first, or Daddy won't tell you." Gu Beiyue threatened.

The little shadow nodded stupidly, "Okay." ”

Qin Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the shadow would pull Gu Beiyue to take a bath and let her serve. You know, this little guy is shy, and since he was three years old, he refused to let the nurse and peony serve him in the bath, as long as she helped. Now that she is five years old, if she is taking a bath, she will not be allowed to help, but she is still accompanied by the shore in the bath.

Qin Min took the shadow away, and Gu Beiyue was relieved.

At this time, Xi Yubo, who had been waiting on the side, stepped forward, "Master, why don't you say anything if you want to come?" ”

Xi Yubo also wondered very much, the master obviously only sent a letter today, why did people arrive at night? It will take two days for the Flying Eagle to pass the book from Yunning to Ningzhou. And in one day, it is impossible for the master to arrive in Ningzhou City from Yunning.

Gu Beiyue pinched her brows, didn't speak, and walked straight to the house.

At this time, Peony came over, held a clean dress, and said with a smile, "Uncle, you are finally back." Miss asked me to send you clean clothes. This is the last time you swapped it out. ”

Last time, it was more than three years.

The outfit was as good as new, clean, folded fairly, without any wrinkles.

"Thank you for me." Gu Beiyue said lightly.

"Uncle, Miss Tong doesn't have to be polite. The young lady also asked me to ask, what does my uncle want to eat for breakfast? Peony said again.

"Feel free to do it." Gu Beiyue replied.

"Then my uncle should rest early." Peony went back happily.

Xi Yubo followed Gu Beiyue in, and when he saw that his master was tired, he couldn't help but persuade, "Master, the hot spring pool in the backyard is excellent, and Mrs. regularly puts medicinal herbs in it and often bathes, you might as well try it too." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Beiyue immediately frowned and looked over, Xi Yubo did not come to his senses, until he saw the sharpness in his master's eyes, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He hurriedly explained, "Master, my subordinates never dare to peep. This is all said by the peony, the lady personally tried the medicine, and wanted the pool to be cultivated into a medicinal bath, so she often took a bath. ”

Gu Beiyue didn't say much, spit out a long turbid breath, and then motioned for Xi Yubo to leave.

Xi Yubo was frightened by the look in his eyes just now, and he had the impression that the last time the master showed him this kind of look should have been in the medical city. That time, the master wanted to kill him.

Xi Yubo hurriedly left, but when he arrived at the door, Gu Beiyue stopped and said coldly, "Tell me to go down, all the guards are a hundred steps away from this courtyard!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Uncle Xi Yu took the order and left, secretly complaining in his heart.

The guards secretly guard the courtyard of the guard, if they want to be a hundred steps away and ensure the safety of this courtyard, they have to empty the surrounding neighbors. I can't let my wife know about this matter, it's really difficult to do.

Gu Beiyue sat alone, supporting her head, very quiet, and she didn't know what to think.

After a long time, the silence was broken by a knock on the door, and a familiar voice followed, "Mrs. Gu, have you slept?" ”

Who else in this courtyard calls him like that?

He furrowed his brows, silent.

"Mrs. Gu, the little shadow is asleep. I didn't want to bother, but there was something I couldn't figure out, so I came here to ask for advice. If it's convenient, please respond. Qin Min said again.

"Come in." Gu Beiyue said lightly.

After Qin Min entered the door, he deliberately bolted the door before sitting down beside him.

She took a deep breath and smiled, "Long time no see." ”

He looked back, didn't know why, couldn't laugh, and said lightly, "Long time no see." ”

"It's rude, it hurts, right?" Qin Min said helplessly.

"Thanks to the reminder. Little Shadow is a smart child. Gu Beiyue said.

"Not only is he smart, but he is also very talented in martial arts. When you took care of him, I am afraid that you chose a thousand choices, right? Qin Min suddenly became serious.

"Yes." Gu Beiyue generously admitted it, but she didn't mean to explain.

"You have long been determined not to get married and not want children. Marrying me is to give Little Shadow the qualifications of a shadow heir, right? Qin Min asked again.

This is the awakening she has gained from the little shadow in the past three years. She wanted to ask for a long time, in person.

Gu Beiyue didn't say anything.

Qin Min deliberately got up, walked up to him, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Gu Beiyue, you have someone you like, right?" ”

Gu Beiyue avoided her gaze, but Qin Min stubbornly chased and forced her gaze.

Gu Beiyue lowered her head, Qin Min squatted in front of him, Gu Beiyue closed her eyes, and Qin Min stood up.

She stood quietly for a long time, and finally sat back. Without words, Gu Beiyue acquiesced.

For a long time, Gu Beiyue didn't make a sound.

Qin Min said lightly, "I'm sorry, it's rude." It's your business, and I shouldn't talk about it. ”

When he married her, he said that it was just a nominal couple, you love me, he didn't force her, and he didn't lie to her. The person he likes, what's wrong? What does it have to do with her?

But...... But why does my heart hurt so much? It hurts so much that she loses her usual sanity?

The two of them just sat there.

I don't know how long it took before Gu Beiyue said, "Miss Qin, what you can't figure out, now, have you figured it out?" ”

Qin Min then remembered the purpose of her trip, she said, "I didn't figure it out." Mrs. Gu, may I ask, what happened to the letter and medicine residue sent from Yunning next night today? Don't tell me, in the past three years, you have improved your light skills again, and you can travel thousands of miles a day? ”

He only sent a letter from Yunning yesterday, and he is here today? He arrived almost at the same time as the letter!

I knew with my toes that the letter and the dregs were not sent by himself, but by someone else!

Even if the letter is forgotten, how can the medicine residue be sent on behalf of the customer?

How can it be?

Gu Beiyue had been sitting in the room for so long, thinking about this problem.

In fact, he has been in Ningzhou for a month, and after the matter of the medicine department was over, the emperor and the queen mother gave him a three-month vacation.

It is not so much that he left on his own, but that he was driven away. The queen mother joked with him, a man who is busy all day without his wife and children must not let the prince's teacher, let alone stay by the emperor's side for a long time. lest the emperor and the crown prince be affected by it.

He took it with him in Ningzhou for a month, and it was three streets away from here, and even Xi Yubo didn't know he was coming.

He didn't know why he was here tonight.
