Chapter 271: As promised
Chapter 271 as promised
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when I said I would come back.
After several dissuasions, Gu Wanyin still decided to wait at the city gate. Naturally, this matter was hidden from the rest of the Zhou family.
In fact, Gu Wanyin herself understands that she is afraid that Zhou Ruijing will not return as scheduled. What's more, there is no news about him so far. It's just that she feels that if she doesn't come, she will never be at ease. At least, the little hope in her heart will not be extinguished, and she will have trouble sleeping.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, I never saw Zhou Ruijing.
Danzhi had sighed a few times, and persuaded Gu Wanyin to go home more than once. But Gu Wanyin shook her head and refused.
Finally, when the sky was getting dark, the city gates would be closed.
Gu Wanyin sighed and said in frustration: "Go back." β
Danzhi was naturally very distressed, and hurriedly instructed the coachman to drive back to the house, but complained again: "Today's lunch is all casual, and I will go back in a while, but I have to eat more." After a pause, seeing that Gu Wanyin still looked like she was not giving up, she persuaded again: "The prince will return safely after all, what's the use of us being anxious at this time?" It's better to take good care of your body, and you will be happier when the prince comes back to watch. β
Gu Wanyin came back to her senses, and when she saw Danzhi's concerned face, she squeezed out a smile shallowly: "Go back quickly, I'm really hungry too." β
As soon as Gu Wanyin and the others entered the city gate, the soldiers who held the city gate pushed the huge city gate, and it was about to be closed.
At this time, a shout from outside: "Don't hurry to close the door, and then a noble person will enter the city!" β
This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Wanyin glanced at Dan Zhi in some surprise, and hesitated to speak: "You don't think that this voice is a little familiar?" I think I've heard it somewhere. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and looked out covertly. However, the city gate is already half-hidden, and you can't see the situation outside the city at all.
Not to mention Gu Wanyin, in fact, Danzhi was also a little hesitant: "This voice is indeed a little familiar, but I forgot where I heard it for a while." β
"It's not an acquaintance, let's stop here and wait." Gu Wanyin groaned slightly, and then opened her mouth to command. There's no hurry to go back horizontally, and it's okay to wait.
Danzhi was a little unhappy: "The princess didn't eat at noon today, so she ate a few pieces of dim sum to deal with, how can this be ......?"
Gu Wanyin glanced sideways at Danzhi, and Danzhi then closed her mouth in amusement. Although Gu Wanyin rarely uses her identity to suppress Danzhi, every time Gu Wanyin is like this, no matter what the situation is, Danzhi will immediately keep silent and only listen to orders. The two also have a tacit understanding.
Gu Wanyin saw that although Danzhi didn't speak, he still looked a little disapproving, so she smiled lightly: "It's not in the way, it's just a matter of a moment." β
Danzhi sighed and went out to tell the coachman to stop the carriage. However, he still did not feel at ease: "Just watch for a while, if you go back late, it will not be good." β
"Well, I'm naturally measured." Gu Wanyin smiled lightly, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Strange to say, it stands to reason that the city gate can be closed late because of one person? But on the contrary, Gu Wanyin saw the city gate slowly reopen. Even if it can only accommodate a carriage, it is a privilege that cannot be ignored. I don't know what the man said to the soldiers. has such a big face. Who is that nobleman?
Look, like a very powerful person. Otherwise, there would not be such a big face, and it would have delayed the closing of the city gates.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Wanyin is even more curious.
But the man who spoke out did not enter the city at once, and was probably still waiting for the "nobleman" outside.
This made Gu Wanyin's curiosity to know which acquaintance it was, and she couldn't satisfy it for a long time.
Fortunately, it was not long before I saw a carriage slowly coming in through the city gate. The carriage was extremely ordinary, and it was impossible to see where there was any "luxury", but judging from the heavily guarded situation around it, it was not necessarily an important person. Judging from the guards on horseback, they should have been on the road for a long time.
Gu Wanyin didn't stop on the carriage for long, but looked intently at the people around her who were guarding on horseback. After all, the people who just heard it should be among them.
Perhaps sensing Gu Wanyin's gaze, the pedestrian actually looked towards Gu Wanyin. At the same time, Gu Wanyin finally discovered that "acquaintance", and she was stunned at the moment. His fingers subconsciously tightened, and he pinched the Jinpa in his hand. At the same time, she even ordered Danzhi: "Danzhi, you get out of the car and take a look." She didn't notice it, and there was an irrepressible tremor in her voice.
Danzhi naturally looked at it clearly. I didn't dare to delay at the moment, so I hurriedly got out of the car and went over.
The other party is faster. The carriage turned its head slightly and came in this direction, and one of the guards on horseback came first. Jing asked, "Is it the princess sitting in the carriage?" β
Gu Wanyin calmed down for a while, and then responded softly: "Yes, in the carriage, but the prince?" "This person is Zhou Ruijing's long-term entourage, no wonder she feels familiar. Since Zhou Ruijing's long-term entourage is here, then ...... Isn't it...... Thinking of this, she only felt her heart beating fast.
However, before the man could answer, Gu Wanyin heard the voice that she wanted to hear sounded outside: "Wanyin." β
Gu Wanyin trembled. couldn't restrain it anymore, and lifted the curtain and leaned out - that voice was not Zhou Ruijing's, who was it? He did come back!
As soon as she heard this voice, she was full of grievances that she couldn't restrain herself, and tears poured out all of a sudden, as if they were about to fall.
However, when the probe went out, he never saw Zhou Ruijing. Gu Wanyin was stunned and looked at it again unselfishly. Finally, it was the end of the day that I landed on one of the guards. The guard had a beard, but he hid most of his face. However, he is thin, but he is somewhat similar to Zhou Ruijing. But even so, it is very different from Zhou Ruijing. If it weren't for those dark eyes and the smile in them, she would have barely recognized them.
No, fortunately, I still recognized it in the end;
"Do you want to get in the car?" saw Zhou Ruijing's real person, but the tears disappeared somehow, leaving only joy. Although she tried her best to calm down, she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her lips. The happiness in the voice can't be hidden.
Zhou Ruijing's pretended guard looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he jumped off the horse, jumped into the carriage lightly, and stepped in with a curtain. As soon as he entered, he met Gu Wanyin's eyes full of smiles, and he couldn't help but smile at the moment.
"The prince didn't break his promise." Gu Wanyin laughed softly, but she couldn't restrain herself, and got up and threw herself into Zhou Ruijing's arms. For a while, the familiar smell filled the nose, which only made people feel extremely reassured.
Zhou Ruijing was just stunned, and then stretched out his hand and hugged the warm nephrite. Then he frowned, and reproached in a deep voice: "Why did you lose so much weight?" "Through the clothes, you can actually feel the bones, and it becomes more and more petite, which makes people feel distressed. At the same time, she was even more annoyed - if she had eaten well, how could she be? He didn't care for himself like this.
When Gu Wanyin heard this, she was a little sneering.
She naturally felt that Zhou Ruijing touched her without a trace when he was holding her. Hearing Zhou Ruijing's words, he was a little embarrassed. At the same time, I heard the preparation in his words, but I felt a sweetness in my heart inexplicably. raised his head and looked at Zhou Ruijing's beard and face, which was also much thinner, and couldn't help but cry out in disgust: "You still say me, aren't you the same?" As he spoke, he stroked his cheek with his hand, and reproached him with a little distress: "The prince is outside, must he not have eaten well?" "I have to make up for it when I go back.
Zhou Ruijing was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "Let's go home first, it's not too early." I'm hungry too. β
Gu Wanyin was stunned, and then hurriedly instructed the coachman: "Go back to the house quickly." In a hurry, I forgot that Danzhi hadn't even returned.
Fortunately, Danzhi came back in time, but when he lifted the curtain and saw Zhou Ruijing sitting inside, he was startled, and subconsciously frowned and reprimanded: "Who are you, how dare you-"
But before he finished speaking, he swallowed the rest of the words silently under a faint look swept over by Zhou Ruijing. In his heart, he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated outside: "The slave and maid have collided." β
"Go home, and let the carriage follow." Zhou Ruijing commanded in a deep voice, with a sense of exhaustion in his voice. After all, even if you are an iron man, you can't bear it. At this time, I felt even more tired when I put the songxiΓ together.
Danzhi stayed outside the carriage and sat down, his heart beating hard. There are surprises, but there are also consternation and fear. The surprise was naturally because of Zhou Ruijing's return, but the fear was because of the majesty that Zhou Ruijing unintentionally revealed. Rao has been so long, Danzhi still can't adapt to Zhou Ruijing. Just one glance at it is involuntarily afraid.
It's just that, in addition to these, Danzhi also has worries. Thinking of what she had just seen in that carriage, she couldn't help but feel that Gu Wanyin was not worth it.
Glancing sideways at the inside of the carriage and listening to Gu Wanyin's soft voice faintly inside, Danzhi sighed involuntarily. I hope she's thinking too much, it's her thinking about it.
But if it's really as she thinks-then what Gu Wanyin should do? From Gu Wanyin's refusal to put the girl's face in the prince's house for so long, Danzhi can see Gu Wanyin's thoughts. whereas
I hope that she thinks too much, and I hope that the prince will not let Gu Wanyin's thoughts go. After looking at Gu Wanyin's weapons in the Zhou family for so long, Danzhi himself felt distressed to watch. If the prince Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· again;
