Chapter 118: Turning over old accounts

"Your Majesty......" "Stand down." Wang Jingchen still wanted to say something, but Qing Ruifan's tone had already begun to become stern. And she couldn't say anything more. After thinking about it, Wang Jingchen can only be blessed no matter how unwilling she is, but it doesn't mean to admit defeat.

"The emperor's dragon body is precious, how can he not eat anything? Although government affairs are busy, the body is the most important thing. Although Wang Jingchen's words were concerned on the surface, listening to Qing Ruifan's ears was another degree of provocation. He is the emperor, when will it be someone else's turn to take care of him.

"Is Concubine Chen trying to take care of my affairs?" Qing Ruifan's voice was no longer simply angry, but with some smiles. Qing Ruifan has been in power for so long, and he has suppressed all the courtiers at a young age, and no one has any objections, he has always been a self-respecting appearance, no one dares to care about him, this little one, or the concubine he doesn't want to see dares to gossip about himself?

"The concubine doesn't dare." Wang Jingchen knelt down without saying a word. She is not a favored concubine herself, and the court that can get out of the cold palace all depends on the credit of the queen mother, if she is no longer interesting and is pulled back to the cold palace, it will not be good, she has to climb up, no matter what, the glory of the family has been given to herself, and every step of the rest needs to work hard by herself, anything can be offended, but you can't offend Qing Ruifan.

"Stand down." Qing Ruifan flicked his hands, he didn't want to say anything now, his heart was full of Gu Lingge, if Gu Lingge fell asleep again, today's dinner would really not have to be eaten. The problem is serious. Gu Lingge's health is not good, if he doesn't eat again, how can he raise it.

Wang Jingchen retreated silently. As soon as she turned around, Qing Ruifan pulled her legs and walked towards the bed, and she didn't know if Gu Lingge was asleep.

When he walked to the bedside, Gu Lingge really fell asleep. It was not the first time Qing Ruifan had seen Gu Lingge's sleeping face, but the appearance he saw now could not match his previous appearance no matter what. With her eyes closed, the dark circles under her eyes were thick and tight. Coming back from Beicheng, she has been alone for such a long time, and this process makes him feel very distressed.

She is definitely thin, and her cheekbones were faint before, but now it is obvious that Qing Ruifan has been in the imperial city, even if she has brought a lot of people to inspect Jiangnan before, there has never been a person on the road, not to mention, Gu Lingge is still a girl.

"Zhi, wake up, wake up, let's eat." If it was for Gu Lingge, Qing Ruifan would be willing to wake her up like this every day, but what I was afraid of was that Gu Lingge was unwilling. What he didn't figure out was that in this kind of place, it was obvious that others were eager for the tenderness they showed to him at the right time, but Gu Lingge had always been light, no matter what Qing Ruifan did, she had always been like that. Let him have a deep sense of frustration.

"Hmm...... You eat," Gu Lingge's voice turned out to be soft when he didn't wake up, which made Qing Ruifan's heart feel as if he had been hit by a critical blow, and then looked at Gu Lingge's unaware and confused eyes, Qing Ruifan felt that something in his body was slowly burning. The heat is rising, and there is a faint trend of spreading throughout the body.

"Ah Zhi, you'll be hungry if you don't eat, you only came back today, be good, eat some and then sleep, okay?" Qing Ruifan is already coaxing his own child, his voice is extremely soft, and his face is also rare and patient. However, Gu Lingge didn't see it at all, her two eyes were only a small slit, and she just wanted to sleep now.

Qing Ruifan slowly stretched out his hand and touched Gu Lingge's face, and the warm temperature made his heart even more warm. No one knew how uncomfortable Qing Ruifan was when Gu Lingge was away, he would appear in front of Gu Lingge's bed every night, but he saw nothing, nothing.

The empty room, the cold bed, the most uncomfortable situation is not that you don't love me, but that I don't even have the qualifications to see you.

Qing Ruifan tried again, but Gu Lingge still didn't mean to wake up, and Qing Ruifan didn't want to say anything more. stood up, walked to the side of the case, and began to continue to sort out the official documents that had just been reviewed, some things had not yet had time to be cleaned up because of Wang Jingchen's disturbance. Lan Yi asked if he wanted to serve a meal now, Qing Ruifan shook his head, and Lan Yi retreated silently.

By the time Gu Lingge woke up, it was already past the hour. She woke up slowly, the quilt on her body was warm, and although she didn't want to get up, she still had to admit that she was hungry, and the hunger in her stomach forced her to get up to forage for food.

The clothes on her body did not fade, and when she stood up, she deeply felt the coldness of the imperial capital, so she could only wrap a quilt and stand up, put on the light and soft shoes sent by the blue clothes before, and the whole person was refreshed after recuperation.

Slowly walked out, Qing Ruifan had already fallen asleep on the side of the desk. Gu Lingge leaned over to look at the official document, and on the big white rice paper was a thin fly-headed small letter, which was Chang Dong's handwriting. The above is probably that Beicheng has become a powerful counterattack stronghold, and it is only a matter of time before you take your city.

But then came the shortage of food and grass. If it was just a sergeant from Beicheng, this would not be a problem, and the people who moved away at that time left some rations to support the army, so they were temporarily safe. But since the city began to collapse, more and more people began to come to Beicheng at night, and dry food began to be slowly distributed to these poor people who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, so they gradually began to be overstretched.

When Chang Dong came to this letter, he concisely explained the reason, and then began to ask for food and grass. The amount is a considerable amount of 100,000 stones, according to the current treasury, it is not easy to sort out 100,000 stones, after all, Qing Ruifan has just been in power for a short time, and it is not good to say that he wants to fight, and now there is still military food expenditure, and it is not so easy to block the mouth of Youyou. It's no wonder that even when he is asleep, the corners of Qing Ruifan's eyebrows are furrowed.

Gu Lingge gently brushed his hand away, she only saw the part where Chang Dong explained the situation, and wanted to continue to look down. But her hand inadvertently touched his, and it was a little cold. She subconsciously looked at his body, which was as bright and yellow as ever. Gu Lingge, who was a little sluggish in terms of clothing, really couldn't see the thickness of the clothes.

Just when Gu Lingge was also frowning and looking at Qing Ruifan, Qing Ruifan woke up because of the touch just now, he has not been able to sleep well recently, and he can't go to sleep at all, even simple actions can wake him up.

"Zhi." Qing Ruifan woke up, and the first thing he saw was a silhouette of Gu Lingge. At that time, he subconsciously thought that it was his hallucination, and after silently closing his eyes to persuade himself not to be disappointed, he woke up again, and it was really Gu Lingge in front of him, and at that moment, he felt that his world was already complete.

"Awake?" Gu Lingge was still wrapped in a quilt, thinking of Qing Ruifan's temperature just now, he looked at the quilt on his body, and then turned around silently, dragged another quilt down from the bed, and then one wrapped in a quilt hugged another quilt and staggered over.

Qing Ruifan looked at her with some confusion, not knowing what this cute dumpling was trying to do, the smile on the corner of his mouth hung up, the corners of his eyebrows were no longer wrinkled, and he looked like he was in a good mood. Gu Lingge walked over step by step, and then threw away the quilt, and Qing Ruifan's eyes instantly lost light. But the heart is warm.

When Gu Lingge pulled Qing Ruifan's head out of the quilt a little messy, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Gu Lingge saw Qing Ruifan's messy hair, and Qing Ruifan saw the concern hidden in Gu Lingge's eyes, and their respective focuses were different, but they were all very happy.

"Are you hungry?" Qing Ruifan tightened the quilt sent by Gu Lingge, and the tip of his nose was faintly haunted by the smell of Gu Lingge, the unique fragrance in the dust. Gu Lingge hugged the quilt and sat on the ground, facing Qing Ruifan, looking very harmonious.

"Nope." Gu Lingge had just woken up, and he originally planned to continue sleeping, but because there was no one around, he still got up. She felt that she had always slept uncomfortably in this hall, and she wanted to have someone by her side.

"What are you doing?" used the tone that he felt most relaxed, but it still made Qing Ruifan's heart ripple shallowly. This seems to be one of the few times Gu Lingge took the initiative to ask him about his actions.

"I'm thinking about the grain and grass plan that Chang Dong said." For Gu Lingge, Qing Ruifan has never been defensive, otherwise he would not have gone to her when he was so desperate, and the results she gave have already proved that she did not believe in the wrong person. "Actually, it's not that I can't take it out, it's just that the prime minister is a little hard to say."

"Didn't you say you were going to get rid of the prime minister?" Gu Lingge was a little curious, what was Qing Ruifan doing in the palace for so long. Obviously, he said before that he wanted to overturn the prime minister, and he hasn't done it well after going around in such a big circle outside?

"Actually, it's almost there, most of the people related to the prime minister have been cleaned up, but after all, the prime minister has so many years of foundation, and I have to think about what to do." Of course, Qing Ruifan knew what Gu Lingge was talking about, but the prime minister's affairs needed to be considered in the long run, and there could be no mistakes. The prime minister is also an old fox.

"Oh good." Qing Ruifan said it vaguely, and Gu Lingge didn't bother to ask, anyway, as long as he said it, he would do it, and that's fine. "Lixia, what's going on?" Speaking of this, Gu Lingge was a little unbalanced. Lixia and Qing Ruifan didn't say anything about this, the reason why she knew this was from Huyue's letter, this matter came quite steeply, and Gu Lingge didn't even prepare.

Qing Ruifan looked at Gu Lingge and confirmed that there was no anger in her eyes, and slowly talked about the reason with a little emptiness in her heart.
