Chapter 18: She Went on the Expedition
After several days of heat, it seems that rain is finally coming.
The dark clouds in the sky slowly swallowed up the white clouds, the sky gradually darkened, and even the air became extremely thin, and it is estimated that there will be a heavy rainstorm in the near future.
Lu Tingsen was already sober, and he was waiting for Qu Jiuning to return home.
Hearing that Lu Ling said that His Majesty urgently summoned her to the palace, and it was for his business, His Majesty must have been angry, and I don't know how she is.
If she is angered by His Majesty because of his business, then he will be to blame for his death!
He was looking forward to it, but what he was waiting for was the news that she was going to go on an expedition.
At the same time, the first thunder in the sky sounded, as if it had struck Lu Tingsen's heart, causing his breathing to suddenly stagnate, almost suffocating him, and his face was as white as bones.
The inner turmoil, all the apprehension became a reality.
Your Majesty is really angry with her!
Lu Tingsen rushed out almost immediately, he didn't care about how painful the wounds on his body were, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, he accelerated his pace and ran forward.
She's leaving!
No....
Can't let her go.....
It's all his fault, it's none of her business.
At this time, Qu Jiuning was sitting on a sweaty and bloody horse, and everyone in the house saw her off.
She took a deep look at the mansion, not knowing what would happen to Lu Tingsen in the mansion.
Originally, she wanted to go and see Lu Tingsen in person, but Lu Ling said that he was still resting, so she didn't bother anymore.
Lu Ling also said that Lu Tingsen's affairs would be explained to his subordinates, and he would live well in the mansion.
Qu Jiuning was relieved.
As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, another thunder fell in the sky, and the green spirit walked under her horse and reminded: "Lord Wang, if you don't leave, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain." ”
Qu Jiuning retracted his gaze, "Let's go." ”
She took the horse on a leash and turned around.
"Lord Wang, you must return safely, we are waiting for you."
"The prince has to think about us even when he is outside, and the concubine thinks about you all the time."
[Don't go! Qu Jiuning, stop! Don't go! 】
In the midst of the reluctance to speak, Qu Jiuning heard an almost heart-rending voice, she stopped her horse, and immediately turned around again.
By this time, it was already raining in the sky.
The raindrops were the size of peas, and the rain was so fierce that it felt a little painful when it hit my face.
The people of the palace retreated to lie under the eaves one after another, and unconsciously made way for a road, and Lu Tingsen's figure appeared in sight.
Lu Tingsen dragged his crippled body, limping and running, holding his breath with every small step, the rain hit his body, and all that flowed out of the ground was blood, which was caused by the cracking of the wounds on his body.
Everyone's eyes were on Qu Jiuning's body.
I saw that she suddenly jumped off the horse, and walked into the palace in three or two steps, and supported Lu Tingsen in the rain.
Qu Jiuning never expected him to have injuries on his body, and ran out stupidly, unconsciously his voice was angry, "What are you doing when you run out, you can't take care of your injuries properly!?" ”
Lu Tingsen grabbed her wrist tightly, raised his face wet from the rain, and looked at her with dark pupils begging.
[Don't go, it's my fault, it's my majesty who angered, it's none of your business, don't go to war, bring me to your majesty, I'm innocent of death! ] 】
[It's not your fault, it's all my fault, I'm willing to bear it with all my might, don't go, don't ......]
[I'm no longer willful, I don't want you to take me away again, I don't want to see such consequences, I don't want to!] 】
Seeing that he didn't seem to know at all, Qu Jiuning glanced coldly at the green spirit standing beside him.
The green spirit's heart tightened, and he quickly looked away.
If the prince asked her to bring it, she didn't bring it.... Didn't bring a word.
Because she also thinks that the reason why the prince would take such a big risk is for Lu Tingsen, if it weren't for him, the prince would not have waded into this troubled water and taken this risky move.
Qu Jiuning held Lu Tingsen's hand with his backhand and held him in his arms, but he was too tall, so he had to let him hold her waist with one hand to hold his body steadily.
"Lu Tingsen, are you a fool?"
Lu Tingsen's pale face looked at her smiling face in confusion.
"Have you forgotten the other identity of this king, the mighty general, sooner or later he will go on the expedition, and this time the king has been taking a fancy to the place for a long time."
Her pale eyes seemed to be shattered with starlight, and her half-curved appearance was like a crescent moon in the night sky.
He was still confused, she couldn't help but stretch out her index finger slightly and hook the tip of his nose, and said in a low voice: "You and I have only known each other for a long time, do you think this king will give up his life for you?" ”
Then she whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm very sure, don't worry." ”
With that, she stepped back a little.
Blinked slightly.
Naughty and full of confidence.
Lu Tingsen looked at her tightly, but his heart was full of uneasiness.
[Really, you can't lie to me, but how dangerous that is....]
[If.... What if you can't come back...]
The fear in his heart still crawled all over his heart, and he was uneasy, and even his eyes were faintly red.
"You're not going to cry again, are you, there are so many people, you want everyone to watch you cry?"
Lu Tingsen glanced at the people around him, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and he held back stiffly.
"Shall I write you a letter, every three days, telling you about my condition, and you will be well recuperated in the house, understand?"
Obviously, this big fool's situation is much more serious than her, and I am worried that she is worried to death.
"That's right." Qu Jiuning smiled softly, and then said to him, "Do you plan to gain fame?" ”
Lu Tingsen's dark eyes lit up almost instantly, and then quickly extinguished.
[Impossible, it is impossible for a man to gain fame, the Southern Jin Dynasty has never had this rule, no matter how much I think about it, it is impossible. 】
[If I can get fame, I will definitely be able to add glory to you, but it's a pity..... Why am I a man? 】
Listening to his inner voice, Qu Jiuning pursed the corners of his mouth: "I have books in my study, and I have won a chance for you to gain fame, you have to take advantage of the opportunity." ”
"Don't embarrass the king."
【True ..... Are you sure!? Can I really get famous!? The joy on his face was only for a moment, and it was full of sorrow.
[What if you get the fame but you don't come back, then what's the point of me getting the fame.] 】
Qu Jiuning snorted slightly: "I have already made a bet with the mother emperor, I said that you will definitely be able to get the champion, if you don't get a champion for this king, this king can't spare you, you must read a good book for this king during this time, and this king will check you when he comes back." ”
Lu Tingsen seemed to see hope, and he had a hope in his heart, so he finally felt a little relieved.
[You must come back!] By all means! 】
