Chapter 689: Sitting upright

In desperation, Qiao'er said softly: "But madam, you will catch the wind and cold like this." ”

Seeing that Gu Mingzhu didn't get up for a long time, there was a look of relief on her delicate cheeks, and her beautiful eyes looked not far away.

Seeing this, Qiao'er didn't say anything, she quietly turned around and left.

After a moment's effort, she took a cloak from her hand and draped it on Gu Mingzhu's shoulder, and said softly: "Miss, don't suffer from the cold." ”

But Gu Mingzhu kept sitting on the stone bench, with a cold expression on her delicate cheeks, and she never said a word.

For an afternoon, Chu Jing spent all his time in the palace.

Recently, I learned that there was a civil strife in the court, and the emperor had ordered to secretly find out this person.

And Chu Jing, who is the right-hand man of the emperor's side, naturally accepted the order in danger and took over this order.

But the admiring prime minister who has been against him has deliberately sabotaged him in secret.

Just when Chu Jing and Mu Ming were arguing, the civil strife in the court also gave the Xiongnu on the frontier an opportunity.

These days, people in the capital are panicking.

Before evening, the originally bustling streets were depressed.

When Chu Jing returned from the palace on horseback, there was no figure in sight on the empty streets.

On the General's Palace.

Yun Chi turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door of the house, and immediately a waiting slave and maid stepped forward to open the door of the house.

"Welcome the general home." The slave who guarded the door saluted respectfully.

Chu Jing looked indifferent, and walked into the general's mansion, looking around with deep phoenix eyes.

The courtyard was quiet, and there were red lanterns hanging everywhere to illuminate the dark surroundings.

"Get up." Chu Jing's thin lips opened slightly.

He walked towards the courtyard, and the butler beside him stepped forward and reminded softly, "General Hui, Madame is not resting yet." ”

"Hmm." Chu Jing said indifferently and went directly to the study.

Yun Chi waited respectfully in front of the door of the study, his face solemn.

At this time, Gu Mingzhu had just finished dinner, and she wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

Qiao'er hurriedly walked into the chamber and saluted Gu Mingzhu: "Mrs. Hui, the general is back." ”

"Come back, come back, why make such a fuss?" Gu Mingzhu said coquettishly, with a look of disdain on her delicate cheeks.

"Madame, aren't you going to see the general?" Qiao'er blinked a pair of dark eyes and reminded in a low voice.

However, Chu Jing went out for a whole day, which made Gu Mingzhu a little curious, and for several days in a row, Chu Jing was always extremely busy.

Looking at Gu Mingzhu's puzzled expression, Qiao'er said in a low voice: "Madame doesn't know, I heard the housekeeper talk about the general tonight, it seems that he is not in a good mood." ”

"What's my business?" Gu Mingzhu twisted his eyebrows.

She played with the teacup in her hand, a look of disdain on her delicate cheeks.

Recently, there was a lot of panic in the market, but Gu Mingzhu frowned slightly, and she said casually: "The general is back so late, he must not have eaten yet, you go and tell Chef Mu to prepare some fish and meat soup." ”

Qiao'er hurriedly responded happily: "It's Madam, the slave and maid will go." ”

After a moment's effort, Gu Mingzhu got up and walked towards the study.

Since her wing and study were not far away, she walked a few steps to the door of the study.

At this moment, Yunchi was waiting in front of the door, his face solemn.

Seeing Gu Mingzhu coming, he bowed and said, "The slave has asked Mrs. for peace." ”

"Get up." Gu Mingzhu said disapprerovingly.

Just as she was about to push the door and walk into the study, she was stopped by Yun Chi, "The general is not in a good mood tonight, and I ask Mrs. to come back another day." ”

Seeing that Yun Chi's face was not good, Gu Mingzhu frowned, and said in surprise: "What happened?" ”

"Please go back to Madame." Yun Chi's tone was resolute.

However, Gu Mingzhu didn't believe in this evil, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yunchi, and said in a deep voice: "You get up, Miss Ben wants to go in." ”

When Gu Mingzhu spoke, Yun Chi hesitated, and before he could react, Gu Mingzhu immediately pushed him away and walked directly into the study.

The candle flame in the study was very dim, Gu Mingzhu raised his eyes to look ahead, but he didn't find Chu Jing's figure.

"General......" Gu Mingzhu called softly.

Her voice echoed in the study, but no one responded.

At this time, the expression on Gu Mingzhu's face became complicated, and there was a complicated expression in his beautiful eyes, "General......"

But still no one responded to him, Gu Mingzhu walked towards the inner room with broken steps.

There was a black figure standing in front of the window, which almost frightened Gu Mingzhu.

She said coquettishly, "General, where are you standing and what are you doing?" Such a mystery. ”

People who don't know still think it's exciting.

But Chu Jing turned his back to Gu Mingzhu, and the tall and slender figure stood in front of the window, motionless and silent.

Gu Mingzhu held a candle in his hand and lit it continuously, and in a moment's effort, the candle flame illuminated the entire study.

"General, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Chu Jing hadn't answered for a long time, Gu Mingzhu asked in surprise.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Jing's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Pearl, come and see the general." Gu Mingzhu said word by word, and walked towards Chu Jing.

Chu Jing had already taken off his official uniform, and was wearing a thin white coat, and gusts of cold wind poured in from the window.

Even Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but shudder, she picked up the black cloak and draped it on Chu Jing's body, and whispered: "It's cold at night, the general should drink a bowl of fish soup while it's hot." ”

While speaking, Gu Mingzhu carefully presented a bowl of fish and meat soup to Chu Jing.

But Chu Jing turned around, stared at Gu Mingzhu in front of him with deep phoenix eyes, and said with thin lips: "I'm not hungry." ”

"It's late at night, the general must not have eaten yet, and drink some hot soup to warm up." Gu Mingzhu pushed the chopsticks in his hand in front of Chu Jing.

Chu Jing took the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table instead.

Gu Mingzhu stretched out his hand to close the window, and said with some reproach: "Recently, the general went out early and returned late, what happened to the court?" ”

The man in front of him stared at Gu Mingzhu with deep phoenix eyes, and the corners of his thin mouth opened slightly: "It's okay." ”

But Chu Jing said that it was okay, but the worried look on his face couldn't deceive people, Gu Mingzhu frowned, and asked worriedly: "What happened to the general?" Is there anything you still want to hide from Zhu'er? ”

At this time, Chu Jing's face was solemn, he actually stretched out his hand and gently brushed Gu Mingzhu's forehead, and then chuckled and said, "Zhu'er is too worried." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, his eyes stared at Chu Jing, and he asked fearlessly: "The general doesn't know, when Rizhu'er returned to the Gu family some time ago, he had already heard his father talk about the Huns. ”

"Even if the general doesn't say it, Zhu'er can guess that the general is worried about things in the court." Gu Mingzhu said solemnly word by word.
