Chapter 523: A Chance Encounter with a Robber
"Those people were talking about a rebellion, and they were talking about killing the Praetorian Guards or something." Gu Mingzhu's little face was wrinkled.
"What else have you heard?" Chu Jing asked in a cold voice again, with a solemn look on his face.
Seeing Chu Jing's serious face, Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to hide it, and said everything he heard, "The slave family also heard that these black-clothed people want to do something wrong with the emperor." ”
"Zhu'er must remember that this matter must not be spoken." Chu Jing warned coldly, and his deep phoenix eyes stared at Gu Mingzhu tightly.
It seemed that this matter was very important, and Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to hide it, so he nodded vigorously and said, "Those people in black want to kill Zhu'er, and Zhu'er is afraid." ”
"With General Ben here, no one dares to touch you." Chu Jing comforted, his voice low and warm.
"Hmm." Although he didn't know if Chu Jing could protect her, Gu Mingzhu was still willing to believe Chu Jing.
Looking at Gu Mingzhu's face that had become distorted by fear, Chu Jing didn't make up his mind, he took Gu Mingzhu in his arms and walked towards the forest step by step.
Just now I saw Chu Jing walking out of the hall, Ling Feng also followed behind her, and she was now standing outside the forest and watching from side to side.
At a glance, I saw Chu Jing walking out with Gu Mingzhu in her arms, and the bright smile on her face suddenly froze, and she stood in place in embarrassment.
"Sister Gu, what's wrong?" Suppressing the resentment in his eyes, Ling Feng looked worried, and stepped forward with broken steps.
Because of the excessive fright just now, Gu Mingzhu had not calmed down, she lay in Chu Jing's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt much better.
But when she saw Ling Feng's harmless face, her heart was blocked again.
"My foot is broken." Gu Mingzhu blurted out in a hurry, and after speaking, she didn't forget to stick out her tongue at Chu Jing.
That cute and playful appearance stung Ling Feng's eyes, she secretly clenched her fists, but with a look of envy on her face, she looked at Chu Jing with admiration.
"Why is my sister so careless." Ling Feng had a worried look on his face.
Looking at the look of me for you, Ling Feng didn't know what to be careful about, she looked at her with disgust, and then said softly, "Zhu'er is a little tired, general, I want to go back to the house." ”
"If you want to go home, General Ben has important things to do and will come back later." Chu Jing sent Gu Mingzhu into the carriage and instructed the guard Yun Chi, and he turned around and left.
Gu Mingzhu sat in the carriage, the bloody scene just now still came to mind, she was a little nervous, lifted the curtain, she looked at Chu Jing's departing back, and shouted worriedly: "The general has to go back to the house early, Zhu'er is waiting for you at the house." ”
Chu Jing rode on the horse, looked back at Gu Mingzhu in the carriage, bowed slightly, and then gave an order, and the carriage moved slowly.
"Miss...... Slaves and maids are afraid. Qiao'er is timid, the scene just now lingers in her mind, and her heart hangs.
"What are the generals afraid of?" A hint of darkness flashed in Gu Mingzhu's eyes, and he comforted softly.
But she was very worried in her own heart, this time the man in black was able to blatantly stab the general of the dynasty, which showed that he had already conspired, and this time it was more than auspicious for Gu Mingzhu.
"But just now the general was injured for the sake of the young lady." Qiao'er reminded with a worried face, and there was a pale look on her pretty little face.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhu was very moved in her heart, she looked at Chu Jing coldly in the past, but she never wanted to block a sword for her at a critical juncture.
"Don't say it, this matter will lead to death, remember to hide this matter in the bottom of your heart." Gu Mingzhu looked cautious and warned cautiously.
"Yes, the slave and maid will not say it if they are killed." Qiao'er said seriously.
When I returned to Chu Mansion, it was already evening.
Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage, and after a tiring journey, she returned to the wing room to drink tea.
Qiao'er ordered the slave maid to prepare hot water and bathe Gu Mingzhu.
After bathing, Gu Mingzhu was wearing a white coat and sitting on the bed, her thoughts drifting far away.
From time to time, she raised her eyes to look out the window at the sky, and she asked listlessly, "When is Qiao'er now?"
"Miss Hui, it's the time of the year." Qiao'er whispered as she blew out some candles.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Gu Mingzhu walked down from the bed barefoot, with a worried look on her fair little face.
Looking at Gu Mingzhu's unrelenting look, Qiao'er smiled and quipped, "Madame, is this concerned about the general?" ”
With such a dangerous experience today, Gu Mingzhu was very worried in her heart, after all, Chu Jing had also saved her life.
"Have you prepared the ginseng soup that Miss Ben asked you to prepare?" Gu Mingzhu was worried about Chu Jing, and she didn't hear Qiao'er laughing.
"Mrs. Hui, the slave and maid have already prepared." Qiao'er replied with a smile, looking at Gu Mingzhu with a faint gaze.
"Go and wait in the antechamber, and when the general returns, you must tell Miss Ben." Gu Mingzhu instructed word by word, she was thinking that Chu Jing was injured, and she didn't know if the wound had been treated.
Seeing the worry on Gu Mingzhu's face, Qiao'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, the slaves and maids have asked the minions to inquire about the news." ”
But Gu Mingzhu still couldn't let go of it in his heart, sat on the table, and took a sip of tea.
"Fetch my harp." Gu Mingzhu said softly, the more irritable her heart was, the more she had to be quiet.
"Yes." Qiao'er took a fine mahogany instrument from the inner room and placed it in front of Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes and looked at the strings in front of her, stretched out her slender fingers and hooked them slightly, making a crisp sound, this piano was given to her by Chu Jing himself.
"Miss, this purple xylophone was specially asked by the general to be made for you." Qiao'er quipped.
The famous Bai Gongzi in the capital is exquisitely crafted, and the objects that can pass through his hands are all worth thousands of gold, but this person is a man, and no one has ever seen his face, let alone knows where she is.
"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu nodded and said, his eyes carefully looked at the purple wood qin in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.
"In the eyes of outsiders, it is said that the young lady and the general are raising eyebrows, but the slave maid thinks that the general is very fond of the young lady." Qiao'er laughed lightly.
"Don't make fun of Miss Ben." Gu Mingzhu chuckled, closed her eyes slightly, and placed her hands flat on the strings.
Beautiful music slipped through her fingers and echoed throughout the General's Mansion.
At this time, as soon as a black figure turned over and dismounted, he heard a beautiful piano sound, and his facial features were hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
"General, Madame is waiting for you in the wing." The housekeeper stepped forward and reminded softly.
"Hmm." Chu Jing's thin lips opened slightly, and he turned around to leave.
He didn't go straight back to the wing, but out of the study.
It was already late at night, Gu Mingzhu was lying on the table and was sleepy, with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be open.
