Chapter Twenty-Nine: Back to the firewood room again
"It's getting late, you can rest early, I still have some military affairs to deal with..."
"Where are you going, today is our wedding night" Gui Longqin carefully grabbed the corner of Su Zhijing's clothes and muttered aggrievedly.
Su Zhijing was slightly stunned, such a scene is so familiar, if it was many years ago, he would not hesitate to turn around and hug the person in front of him tightly, but now she is something that he has finally lost and recovered, and he is afraid that his enthusiasm will frighten her.
"I'm not leaving, I'll just deal with the military newspaper on the desk over there, and you can sleep in peace."
Carefully let her lie down and tuck the corners of the quilt, pat it gently, until she fell asleep, and then she was relieved to deal with the military reports that had been piled up for a long time.
Although these are all untight documents, according to Su Zhijing's habits on weekdays, he will never delay, and basically follow the principle of finishing today's affairs, but in recent days, because of the arrangement of marrying Gui Longqin, it has become like this.
Cover the bright candle with a lampshade so that the light does not disturb the people in the bed as much as possible, and try to control your emotions and calm down to deal with military affairs.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the silence of the long night.
Gui Longqin, who woke up from his sleep, wrapped his legs with his hands in fear, buried his face deep in it, and the choked cry caused his two shoulders to tremble.
Su Zhijing came to the bedside in a panic, and when he saw such a scene, he became helpless, so he could only gently pat her back and comfort her.
"I didn't mean to make a noise to you..."It took a long time for Gui Longqin to say this.
"Isn't it a nightmare?"
"Well, I always dream of that firewood house and that cup of poisoned wine, and I always think of the cold face when you said you would kill me."
"It's okay, I'm here." Su Zhijing pulled Gui Longqin into his arms and let her feel the temperature in his arms.
Gradually, the breathing sound of the person in his arms gradually stabilized, and Gui Longqin, who was tired of crying, fell asleep on Su Zhijing's shoulder.
Su Zhijing gently put her on the bed and covered the quilt, afraid that she would wake up again, so he also lay down beside her, using his hand as a pillow, and wrapping his other hand around her back, so he maintained this position until dawn.
I don't know how long it took for Gui Longqin to wake up again, it was already about noon, and Su Zhijing was already gone, so the maids waiting outside the door dared to push the door in and wait for the princess to change clothes.
"Fujin, the slave is waiting for you to change your clothes"
"No, I can do it myself." Gui Longqin replied sluggishly, not paying any attention to the surprised expression of the maid beside her.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the maid who had just spoken.
"Ziyan, why are you here, when I entered the palace that day, I didn't see you, I'm worried about death, are you okay."
"Don't worry, Fujin, it was the prince who explained the slave and maid affairs that day, so he left temporarily."
"Slave? Didn't you say that good sisters are commensurate, why have you changed again now? ”
"Fujin, this time is different from the past, since you have married into the palace, you have to follow this rule, so as not to be tongued by others." Ziyan whispered in Gui Longqin's ear.
"Okay, it's all up to you" changed into Gui Longqin, who was in Fujin's regular clothes, and was really much more energetic, and the whole person's face glowed with calm and elegant light, but I don't know why, but my eyes seem to be looking for something.
"Fu Jin is looking for the prince." Purple smoke arrived.
Gui Longqin nodded shyly.
"The prince was summoned into the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and when he left, he also instructed the slaves and maids, saying that Fujin slept late last night, don't disturb your rest, and naturally wake up and wait for you to change clothes and eat."
"Did he say when he would be back?"
"Fu Jin is already married to the prince, so I can't call you and me anymore, I want to call him the prince outside, and I want to call my husband inside."
"But in my memory, I didn't call it that in the palace before."
"Fujin, probably because the prince was sympathetic to you in the past, but now we come to the palace for different purposes, so naturally we have to be very careful, the slave maid heard that the prince entered the palace this time to discuss the matter of the prime minister."
"Okay, I know, I'll be careful in the future."
"Fujin doesn't have to worry too much, the prince said that he would come back at about noon, it's not time yet, it should be on the way."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of the servants bowing at the door.
"Knock on the Lord"
I don't know how anxious the people who came back were, and the beaded curtains hanging on the door were stirred and entangled.
"Qin, Fujin, are you okay?"
"The prince is really joking, when did my surname Qin" Gui Longqin pretended to be angry and bowed his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Ziyan quietly retreated and closed the door.
"No, of course I know your last name, it's my name engraved in my heart. How can I forget, it's just that I'm a military general, and I'm really in front of outsiders..."
Seeing his helpless appearance, Gui Longqin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Lord Wang, I'm joking, why are you suddenly nervous, you call me anything, I don't care."
"Qin'er, come, you sit down first, I have something to say to you."
Placing Gui Longqin on the chair, Su Zhijing knelt on one knee and held Gui Longqin's hands tightly.
"Qin'er, this time I entered the palace to discuss matters related to my father-in-law, and there was a secret report that someone assisted the prime minister in escaping from prison and going to Jingxi Kingdom, and my father ordered me to investigate the matter immediately."
"Dad is not such a person, he has been loyal to the country all his life, how can he do such a treasonous thing."
"I never believed it, although I have different political views with the prime minister on weekdays, but I know his personality better than anyone else, so I went here to investigate this matter."
"We just got married, and the emperor is going to send you, didn't he take me as a daughter-in-law at all."
"If he really thinks so, he won't be in front of Concubine Jin, and he will have to relieve you of the siege, so as to save you from asking for peace every day."
"And when will you be back? Is there a return date? We finally got back together, how could you bear to leave me, in case..."
Before he finished speaking, he was tightly held in his arms by a deep kiss.
It took a long time to separate the two.
"Qin'er, I'll take you somewhere, you come with me."
Holding Gui Longqin's hand, he walked through one courtyard after another in the palace, and finally came to a relatively remote small courtyard.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he was tortured in the firewood room to death. The days when life is worse than death, one scene after another emerges in front of me. Especially the door at the other end of the courtyard, which he once thought would never be able to get out, Gui Longqin's heart suddenly collapsed to the extreme.
"No, I don't want to go in." Throwing off Su Zhijing's hand, he wanted to escape from here in a panic.
But he was stopped by Su Zhijing and hugged him, and walked towards the house step by step. I want to struggle, only to find that it is all in vain.
With a bang, the door was kicked open by Su Zhijing.
