Chapter 280: It's going to be soon

Gu Qimei can walk around the empress, stay in the most important imperial study, and be close to the empress, so naturally she must first be recognized by the empress. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The empress originally transferred her, indeed because the eldest sister of the Gu family was on the front line and had been guarding the relationship in the north, but she didn't expect that after Gu Qimei was transferred, she felt very satisfied.

Gu Qimei turned around in the empress's sight.

She walked to the side and brought over the plate that had been temporarily placed on it.

Then, she calmly and gently placed the plate on the table in front of the empress.

Gu Qimei and the empress met their eyes.

The latter smiled again on his lips and said, "It's been a few days since you arrived in the Northland, and you haven't had a chance to see your sister yet, will you complain in your heart?" ”

Gu Qimei smiled: "Your Majesty, won't you see you soon?" ”

After the empress groaned, she said: "Your eldest sister is guarding the front line, and she can't get out of her body for the time being......"

...... In fact, after arriving in the Northland, Gu Qimei has also helped deal with many officials who came to listen to the news in the study in the past few days.

Sometimes the empress does not come out of the house, and often leaves things to Gu Qimei to take care of temporarily.

At this moment, she restrained her expression, looked at the empress and asked softly, "Your Majesty, how many days are there to go?" ”

About an hour or so ago, an official who had been to the house had asked about this when he met Gu Qimei in the front yard.

Speaking of which, the final decision should be made by the empress and the national teacher, and Gu Qimei also had this question in her heart.

She looked at the desk in the study, where letters were piled up on one side near the edge.

The letters came from different places, some of them were from the national capital, some were sent from a nearby camp in the mountains, and some were from the front camp where the eldest sister was located.

There are some of them, Gu Qimei knows the content of it, but there are some of them that the empress has never instructed her to open and inspect without authorization, so she doesn't know the content of it.

Although she also knew that since she arrived in Northland Town, the empress had not been able to sit down with the National Teacher to plan for the army's attack, and she had not even seen the National Teacher in person.

Gu Qimei understands this very well.

However, the empress has always been different from the national teacher, and others can't say a word, so the matter is now, how to proceed next, the only way...... I have to probe from His Majesty.

Gu Qimei deliberately temporarily took over what the attendants had to do, just to find a seemingly reasonable opportunity.

For example, now, the atmosphere in the study is good, so it is convenient for her to ask what she wants to know.

...... The empress saw the worried look of the little girl standing in front of her, looked at her for a moment, sighed and did not answer.

The Empress's gaze turned to the side shelf, and she felt a little better as her gaze swept over the things placed on the shelf.

Then a smile appeared on the corner of the empress's mouth, and she looked at Gu Qimei and said in a low tone: "I'm free at this time, let's play a game of chess with me!" ”

The latter was as good as a stream, and when he heard this, he immediately walked to the shelf, and reached out to take the things that the empress had brought all the way from the capital city from above.

This chess piece, Gu Qimei is not the first time to see it.

In her impression, whenever the empress was upset and needed to calm down, she would always take it out and play with it.

Gu Qimei stretched out her hand and spread out the chessboard on the table in front of the empress, and glanced at the two-color jade chess pieces in the box.

The chess pieces look crystal clear and very beautiful, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are worth a lot of money.

After a while, the empress sat up straight and motioned for her to drop.

Both of them are unhurried and impatient chess styles.

The empress is because of her experience, and Gu Qimei is due to her personality.

A short time later, the attendants outside knocked on the door to deliver the news, saying that someone from the camp ahead had arrived, and was waiting in the courtyard to see the empress.

After thinking about it, the empress temporarily stopped playing chess and ordered the man to come in.

...... The people who walked in outside were not wearing military clothes, but because they arrived late at night, they were contaminated with the cold air outside.

As soon as the man came in and calmed down, his eyes swept over the room, and he immediately saw the chessboard in front of the empress, and his eyes turned to Gu Qimei, who stood up and looked at him.

"It's okay, there's no need to avoid it," the empress said in a calm tone after glancing at Gu Qimei.

...... The person who came hesitated for a moment, looked at the empress and reported with a little anxiety in his tone: "Your Majesty, something happened on the front line of the Northland!" ”

He hesitated, but there was a pause between his words.

The empress had already noticed the look of the person coming, and couldn't help but stare at him for a long time.

The man's expression became even more nervous, he lowered his voice and took a deep breath and said, "Here's the thing......"

...... Gu Qimei glanced at the visitor quickly, revealing a look of astonishment.

She was close, trying to control her emotions, and her joys and sorrows were not too obvious.

Because the same group of girls who entered the palace, including her...... From the first day of training in the palace, the female officials in the palace taught them...... The things that need to be paid special attention to when around the empress also include controlling your emotions.

Although Gu Qimei's personality is already relatively calm, she thinks that she has not done enough in this regard.

Whenever she hears unexpected news, she thinks that her reaction is always a little more direct, and she still needs to be experienced.

After listening to this, the empress's expression unexpectedly did not change much, and she continued to drop a piece on the chessboard, raising her eyes and signaling Gu Qimei, who was standing on the side, to continue.

The latter suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at the chessboard, and had no choice but to step forward and continue to fall.

"I know," after the man finished speaking, the empress looked in the direction outside the house, and her brow soothed slightly, "In just a few days, I will go to the frontline camp, and at this time, you can go back first!" ”

"Your Majesty," the visitor's eyes widened when he heard this, and there was still a little hesitation in his tone.

The empress gestured calmly and motioned for him to leave.

The man had no choice but to withdraw.

Gu Qimei glanced at the man's back, listened to the sound of the door being gently closed, and turned her gaze to the empress.

The person sitting on the other side looked calm, as if the uninvited guest had not come just now, Gu Qimei was a little stunned for a moment.

"Concentrate on chess," the empress said, glancing at her, "don't be distracted by the outside, and concentrate on it." ”

Gu Qimei hurriedly calmed down and began to continue the chess game that she had not finished just now.

...... In fact, others can't see that Gu Qimei is different.

She has been by the empress's side for some days, and she can still see from the details the impact of the news she just heard on her.

Sure enough, the empress's chess style was obviously not as stable as at the beginning, Gu Qimei thought about it and carefully landed the move.

When she raised her head by chance, she could see that the empress's brows were furrowed, and she was obviously a little distracted.

"Your Majesty, don't you need to send the news to the National Teacher immediately?"

After Gu Qimei hesitated, she finally couldn't help but ask.

The empress's expression froze for a moment, and she paused before answering: "Wait until dawn, it's late at night." ”

The empress said in a low voice: "Listening to the people around him, his condition has been repeated in the past few nights, and he has not been able to sleep well, and he has to disturb his rest when he goes to pass. ”

The empress pointed to the side and said, "I haven't even shown him the backlog of letters from the camp!" ”

Gu Qimei's gaze swept over the corner of the table again.

She saw piles of letters piled up there, the same ones she had seen some of them before.

These are all delivered today, and a small pile has been accumulated.

Gu Qimei looked at the empress and nodded.

The two continued to play chess, and would talk softly between discs.

...... After staying in the empress's study for nearly an hour and a half, Gu Qimei walked out of the room.

The attendants outside were waiting under the porch, shivering in the cold wind.

Looking from where he was standing, she saw two people waiting under the tree.

One who had already seen it just now was the one who came to the empress to deliver the news.

Another, more familiar, was the officer at the front camp...... Speaking of which, it is still the subordinate of the eldest sister of the Gu family.

After Gu Qimei's footsteps paused, she stepped forward to greet the two of them.

The three moved to a room in the front yard.

Gu Qimei picked up the hot tea on the table, took a few sips, and then looked at the person who had delivered the news earlier: "Your Majesty asked your lord to rush back to the camp immediately, why did you delay?" Are you looking for me? ”

To be able to wait so long in the cold wind, it is natural that something is coming.

In the study just now, there was a meeting of eyes, Gu Qimei had a point in her heart, until she walked out of the room and saw the two of them, which confirmed her previous guess.

After exchanging glances, the two people sitting opposite each each glanced at Gu Qimei's expression, and the officer who delivered the news made eye contact with her and said, "This time, I want to ask when the National Teacher will go to the front line?" ”

This is what the empress herself mentioned when the news was delivered before.

However, this time, because there was something else in the barracks, he couldn't find a chance to ask.

Thinking about it, the usual news around the empress is faster than the average person, but ...... The mouth is also tight.

Coincidentally, the other officer who came to the town today on business was a subordinate who had been followed by the eldest sister of the Gu family for many years, and he had a very good relationship, so he tried his best to stay for a while to listen to some news.

Everyone knows Gu Qimei's delicate identity in front of the empress now.

There are many people who want to come to Gu Qimei's place to set up a set and know more.

When someone else came to intercept her in the house, he knocked on the side and wanted to ask about the news of the empress on her and inquire about the movements of the national teacher...... Gu Qimei often touches soft nails for them!

is a little different from treating others, Gu Qimei's attitude towards the subordinates who are in the same Northland as her eldest sister will be more polite.

Gu Qimei knew that these people were all the help of her eldest sister.

Although when it comes to her status in the army, the eldest sister is different in the Northland, but there is always a sense of intimacy when she sees these people.

Therefore, Gu Qimei subconsciously wanted to say something of refusal, turned her eyes to her sister's subordinates on the side, and after weighing it, she changed her expression and said in a low voice: "I heard that the situation of the National Teacher is still not very good in the past few days. ”

The two of them looked different.

Gu Qimei thought for a moment and continued: "But listening to Your Majesty's wishes, you should set off from the town as soon as possible!" ”

She admits she didn't misunderstand.

After all, when you come to the Northland, the war must be put first, and the current movement of the other camp will prompt the empress to speed up the progress.

"So, it's going to be fast!"

The two people on the other side breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Qimei with a much more relaxed expression.

They stood up to say goodbye to her, and hurried back to the camp ahead.

Before going out, Gu Qimei stepped forward and called the subordinate and asked, "Is it okay for my eldest sister to be ahead?" ”

"Everything is fine, don't worry!"

Gu Qimei responded with a slight smile: "That's good, I will follow Your Majesty to the front line, and then I can meet with the eldest sister!" ”

She personally escorted the two men out of the house, and watched thoughtfully in the night breeze as their carriage departed.

...... The guard walked down the stairs of the small building, glanced back at the lights on the upper floor, and walked out of the door with a light footstep.

This is the coldest time of the night.

He walked past the courtyard and looked up at the house where he lived.

Unexpectedly, the two guys actually turned on the lights, obviously not sleeping and waiting for news from him.

The guard quickened his pace until he reached the front of the house and pushed the door in.

One of the two people in the room sat at the table drinking tea, and the other leaned against the head of the bed.

Seeing him come in, the eyes of the two of them were focused on him.

"What did the young master say? He's still drawing? ”

"When you sent the letter, did the young master get angry?"

"Did you see the contents of the letter?"

The guard shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You two have so many questions, which one should I answer first!" ”

He walked over to the table and sat down beside his companion who was drinking tea, and poured a cup of hot tea for him with his companion and said, "Did the young master say a new task?" ”

The guard thought for a moment and said, "Things are still going to be said one by one. ”

"The young master didn't draw a picture, it was a map that you two got from the town."

The two companions looked at him in surprise and asked, "The map was found in the town, but since I found it, it is ready-made, is it possible...... Is the young master correcting the mistakes above? ”

The guard shook his head and answered: "Not really, it's the map you worked so hard to find that covers a wider area, and I have also seen not only this part of Northland Town, but also as far as the mountains......

The companion was stunned and said, "No, what the young master wants to see is a detailed map of this area!" ”

The guard shook his head and answered, "You're wrong about this!" ”

"Actually, the main thing that the young master wants to see is the situation in the mountains of the Northland," the guard emphasized, "so I focused on drawing that area on paper." ”

The time he spent in the study was very clear.

The guard paused, looked at his companion and continued: "The map you brought is a little old, and the young master is probably afraid that it will be damaged along the way!" ”

"I see, I said!"

The companion glanced at him, his eyes swept over the furnishings in the house, and he looked in the direction of the small building outside the window and said, "I think the young master is so interested in the middle of the night!" (To be continued.) )
