Crown Jewels

Chapter 207

Gu Baozhu also held back the sore eyes, seeing the boy's outstretched hand, subconsciously opened Huyan Uwei's right arm, and was about to walk in the direction of Song Yan. There was undisguised worry and concern in her eyes. I want to hold the boy's wrist, touch the beauty tip on the top of his head, and tell him in a brisk and fresh tone.

It doesn't matter!It really doesn't matter, she believes in him, and in the future, she will surely fulfill her promise to herself, and she will definitely shine on the battlefield that belongs to him.

No matter what, she believed him!

Huyan Wuwei's cheeks bulged fiercely, seeing Gu Baozhu's eyes showing so much concern for Song Yan, it was as if flesh and blood had been gouged out of his heart, he subconsciously grabbed the woman's wrist fiercely, and decisively agreed to the conditions that the two had previously stalemate.

"I promise you--"

"Help you investigate the account books involving Xia Guo!"

These words were almost squeezed out between Huyan Wuwei's teeth, and the expression with his back turned to Song Yan showed a bit of ferocity.

These gnashing of teeth words spilled into the ears with a disgusting breath, Gu Baozhu frowned instantly, but in that instant, the struggling movements suddenly lost strength, everything that was originally suppressed in his heart and wanted to comfort Song Yan Everything becomes meaningless at this moment.

"I agree to your terms, but, if you dare to look at him—"

Huyan Uwei's eagle eyes were small, and his eyes fell on the tears rolling down from the corners of the woman's eyes. With his right hand covering the woman's delicate cheeks, with a rough hand, he arrogantly helped her wipe away the tears. Then, his right hand fell on Gu Baozhu Lowering his jaw, he turned around and looked provocatively at Song Yan who was stunned in place. In front of him, under her weak struggle, her blue lips moved close to the woman's ear, pecked lightly and then moved away.

Pinching Gu Baozhu's resisting waist, he hugged him and left towards the twilight...

But in Song Yan's sight, she never turned her head to look at him again.

Song Yan lifted his footsteps, looked at his hand that was frozen in place, and was looking at the backs of the two who were about to disappear. He wanted to chase after him. He didn't believe what the two of them had shown, but he could feel the weakness of his right arm. , the unbearable scene of the Martial Arts Racecourse reappeared, the young man froze in place, with painful doubts in his eyes.

……

The hall of gold bricks and green tiles is full of incense.

Gu Baozhu, who was wearing a skirt, had just stepped into the main hall, and the crisp sound of the memorial attacking the table was like a long cry. In the line of sight, the glazed tiles on the ground reflected her blurred face, and the atmosphere in the main hall was a bit stagnant. Gu Baozhu clutched the account book hidden in his sleeve, no longer hesitated, picked up the bright yellow memorial and put it in the corner of the dragon case between the skirts, and then walked around behind Gu Jun, kneading the sore and stuffy for her. Sore temples.

After learning from Qian Yan for a few days, Gu Baozhu is also good at finding acupuncture points. Gentle fingers touched and pressed the acupuncture points, and the grip was just right. Gu Jun exhaled foul air and followed Gu Jun. With the strength of Baozhu, the stiff back was relaxed, and she slowly leaned against the back of the bright yellow chair behind her.

The incense burners in the palace were mixed with the refreshing fragrance of tea, and Gu Jun's breathing gradually became even and even. Just when Gu Baozhu thought she was falling asleep, Gu Jun slowly opened her eyes and pulled her to him. In front of her, the bright yellow memorial was directly put into her hands.

Gu Baozhu's eyes swept across the situation, and he saw black spots on white paper, which were the battle report submitted by the champion of the Northwest Frontier, but the army of Yan State was not a big victory.

"Xia Kingdom's offensive in the northwest border is quite fierce, and the front line is asking for reinforcements and food."

The cold golden armor tapped the bright yellow dragon chair with a regular rhythm, Gu Baozhu looked at Gu Jun's expression and felt that what she said was very objective, but the next sentence brought out a silent sigh.

"The battle in the Northwest is intense. The champion Hou is over seventy years old. No one can deny the power of the tiger in the past, but now, maybe he is a little old—"

The battle report presented in the memorial was shocking, Gu Baozhu raised the corners of her eyes lightly, and saw Gu Jun's expression was calm, her brows were slightly drawn, and she was thinking about something, inexplicably, she thought of Song Yan after the martial arts exam that day.

Gu Baozhu's breath control was unknowingly a little hurried, and he observed Fan Gu Jun's complexion again, and then put his gaze on the memorial, and his tone was familiar and casual, with a bit of wild optimism.

"aunt--"

"Although the champion queen is old, my country of Yan has a vast land and outstanding people. The civil and military imperial examination system created by my aunt has selected a batch of good talents for my country of Yan."

"According to Baozhu, as long as my aunt is willing to provide them with opportunities, it is only a matter of time for the general to grow up. In the future, the old and new generals will hand over the military power, and the champion will guard the frontier for many years. It is time for him to enjoy his old age in peace."

After finishing speaking, Gu Baozhu offered warm tea to Gu Jun. Her peaceful and optimistic mood made Gu Jun's fluctuating and anxious heart a little helpless. I didn't know whether to say that she was overly optimistic or that she was thinking too much, but think about it carefully. But it also makes sense.

When a country is big, it is rare for it to go off fire with its neighbors. As a prince, there is really no need to be overly pessimistic.Thinking of this, Gu Jun took a sip of warm tea, stretched out his hand to grab Gu Baozhu's wrist, and placed it on his temple to signal her.

Gu Baozhu simply moved her wrist, and hesitantly inserted her left hand into the account book on her right sleeve. Amidst Gu Jun's urging voice, she continued to help her press the acupuncture points meticulously. The sound came into my ears.

"aunt--"

"Bao Zhu has something important to do, and I want to talk to my aunt—"

Gu Jun raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and her voice was somewhat surprised.

"It's important? Let's hear it..."

It was August of another year, the birthday of the Empress. According to the usual practice, the academy and the government offices would rest for three days. Gu Jun held a banquet in Taiji, entertained all the officials, and all the ministers presented birthday gifts outside the hall. Those who were not absent were all held in the Taiji Palace. Congratulations to the Empress on her birthday.

However, this year's birthday is very different from previous years. The empress Gu Jun has a life, the banquet is kept simple, and the birthday gifts from all officials are exchanged with the Ministry of Household for Wenyin to help the frontier.

Birthday parties are always held at night, and Gu Baozhu has naturally stayed in the palace these few days. Although birthdays and birthdays are kept simple, but looking at the maids making preparations and the palace officials who come and go during the day, one knows that even if it is kept simple, it must not be an ordinary banquet.

It is not unusual for palace maids and eunuchs to come and go. What surprised Gu Baozhu was that she saw many young men in the imperial garden, some of whom looked familiar, or were dressed in bookish long shirts, and stood tall and tall, showing bookishness for no reason. , or wearing long boots and straight clothes, the tall and strong figure looks equally brave.

After instructing the passing palace officials and imperial guards to maintain order tonight, Gu Baozhu headed towards the Liangyi Hall where he used to live.

The autumn afternoon was still hot and dry. Gu Baozhu pushed the door into the hall. Before he could react, he felt his wrists being strangled, and his waist was covered with warm palms. As the hall door closed, he was suddenly forced to corner.

Gu Baozhu subconsciously resisted her hand, but when she saw the person in front of her clearly, her movements froze slightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her momentum suddenly weakened.

"Song Yan—"

"You, why are you here?"

Meeting the young man's eyes as black as ink, Gu Baozhu was only stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to observe his expression.
