Chapter 242: 242 Coquettish (1st update)
Chapter 242 242 Acting like a baby (first update)
After Chu Qianchen came to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Gu Jue smiled, from Chu Qianchen's point of view, the alarm was lifted.
She passed another level!
Chu Qianchen tilted his little face and smiled slyly. He put the unfinished straight jacket into the embroidery basket. He stood up and stretched out his hand to Gu Jue, "Give me your hand."
The three words she said conveyed the feeling of pushing beyond the limits.
Gu Jue looked at the little girl's shining eyes, and the corners of his lips curved again.
This girl, when she feels guilty, is careful from head to toe, just like a cat, with her ears tilted forward, tilted back, and pulled down again.
Now that the alarm is lifted, the cat has returned to its natural state, and its tail is about to go up to the sky!
really-
The next moment, her hand moved half an inch closer to him, as if urging him silently.
Gu Jue couldn't help but feel helpless that he had nothing to do with her, and put his hand on her palm.
Palm to palm, the two hands are completely different.
The man's hands have slender fingers with distinct joints, and there are thin calluses left from martial arts training between the palms and fingertips;
The fingers of the woman's hands are slender, soft and boneless, and the skin on the palms is as soft as petals.
His palm was nearly half bigger than hers, and it was broad and slightly cool.
Chu Qianchen was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. He moved his fingers up his palm until he felt the pulse on his wrist. His wrist's body temperature was also lower than that of ordinary people.
She concentrated on checking for his pulse and didn't notice the hint of charm on the corners of his slightly raised lips.
Gu Jue was smiling, but Chu Qianchen frowned.
Judging from his pulse, the prince was obviously overworked. Although his old illness had not worsened, it was not in good condition either. His physical condition was obviously much worse than when he left Beijing.
Moreover, there is…
Chu Qianchen raised his little face, opened a pair of black and white phoenix eyes, and his cat ears suddenly stood up, and asked with certainty: "Are you injured?"
Gu Jue said with a smile: "It's just a minor injury, it's already healed."
His tone of voice was calm and clear, giving people a feeling of spring breeze turning into rain.
However, to Chu Qianchen's ears, this tone itself was abnormal, it was his coaxing tone.
Besides, his pulse doesn't lie, and the injuries he suffered cannot be summed up by the word "minor injury."
Chu Qianchen narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of danger as he scratched his claws.
Gu Jue couldn't help but feel an inexplicable guilty conscience. This feeling was also very fresh. He savored the taste silently.
He felt that he should comfort and coax this girl.
Gu Jue stretched out his left hand, and when he turned it over, there was a pottery about the size of a baby's fist. It was a pair of cats, one was all white, and the other was a black cat with four white hooves. The white cat squatted and opened his mouth. With a pair of green cat eyes, the black cat curled up into a ball and slept with its eyes closed.
The two cats were wearing the same collars, and they looked like cats from the same family.
Chu Qianchen suddenly remembered that the prince had a cat when he was a child. In his previous life, he told her that it was a white Persian cat with a pair of green eyes like emerald.
Thinking about it, Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, thinking: That's all, he has told half the truth, his injury is indeed almost healed.
Chu Qianchen took the small and exquisite gadget from his palm and said with a smile, "This black cat looks like Yueying."
This girl is really easy to coax. Gu Jue thought to himself, his eyes softening a bit.
Chu Qianchen held the new gift in his hand, shook his right wrist, and showed off cheerfully: "Your Highness, try the clothes I made for you. They are still a little bit worse. If they don't fit, you can change them. "
She spoke modestly and felt very confident.
She made these clothes based on Gu Jue's prince clothes. Although he lost a little weight during this trip, it didn't matter. Next, she would take care of his food and feed him back within half a month. Original physique.
Not wanting to, Gu Jue said, "There's no rush. You go out with me first."
Chu Qianchen blinked, feeling that his brain had become dull when facing the prince.
At this moment, she slowly realized that the prince had left the capital on an errand, but now that he was returning to the palace alone at midnight, he must have come back secretly.
And the prince specifically wanted to take her out, which meant that someone was injured or sick, and it was not serious.
A certain possibility emerged in Chu Qianchen's mind, could it be...
Gu Jue understood the look in her eyes and said bluntly: "Uhagalou is seriously injured."
Chu Qianchen nodded clearly.
No wonder the prince came back first, fearing that Wuhejialou's injury would not delay him.
As soon as Gu Jue looked at her, he knew that she understood. He touched her head again, but this time he used his left hand, and his right wrist was still pinched by her.
You don’t need to say too much to her, she will understand.
This feeling of tacit understanding gave him an indescribable joy in his heart.
Chu Qianchen liked it when Gu Jue touched her head, making her feel valued, trusted and liked by him.
She smiled sweetly and said obediently: "I'm going to prepare the medicine box right now."
Thinking that Wuhejialou was injured, Chu Qianchen ordered Hubo to prepare a jar of mustard marinade.
Gu Jue entered the city quietly, so naturally he couldn't leave in a high profile. The two of them left from the house next to Prince Chen's Mansion. After that, Chu Qianchen was picked up by Gu Jue and never left the ground again.
Along the way, we climbed over eaves and walls to avoid people's eyes and ears.
The autumn night is as cold as water, and the gusts of evening wind already feel cool on people.
The wind blew their hair and clothes, their clothes were fluttering, and the wind filled their sleeves. Their hair was intertwined, as if they were playing.
The night wind brought her fragrance to his nose. Because the two of them were close, the fragrance was stronger than when they were in the room just now, lingering in his nose.
When Chu Qianchen saw their hair tangled together, he easily untied it. She was afraid of hurting his scalp, but also afraid of losing a strand of his hair, so she moved cautiously.
Gu Jue naturally noticed her little movements. For some reason, at this moment, he felt that his hair and scalp were all surprisingly sensitive. His scalp was numb and his heart was slightly tingling.
Gu Jue finally couldn't help but said: "Don't move."
Chu Qianchen seemed to have mastered his body-fixing skills and did not dare to move. His fingers were holding the hair of the two of them.
Gu Jue coughed slightly and took the initiative to stir up the topic: "We were ambushed in Changjing Town, Yuzhou..."
It was not convenient to go into details in Fei Ge's biography, so Gu Jue did not elaborate on the details, but simply wrote in one sentence about when they would arrive in Beijing.
That day, Gu Jue, Wuhe Jialou and his group had a narrow escape from death.
The entire Changjing Town has long been a dead city. All the townspeople and passing merchants were killed. The people lurking in the town are all Nanhao people sent by Uhaduluo.
At that time, they planned to leave through the back door of the restaurant, but the Nanhao people had already set up an ambush at the back door of the restaurant. At that moment, Mo Chen sent out a signal bomb, and the accompanying Xuanjia Army who was originally waiting outside the town immediately came to Changjing Town for support.
Even so, it was not easy for them to break out of the siege. At the cost of blood and life, Tama, the guardian of Uhagalou, died.
Gu Jue didn't want Chu Qianchen to worry. He only mentioned the breakout in two sentences, but even so, when he heard the news of Tama's death, Chu Qianchen's pupils shrank slightly.
She and Tama had only met each other a few times, and although they didn't have much of a friendship, she was still a little moved when she learned about the other person's death.
However, she soon returned to normal. She had faced countless deaths in her previous life...
Gu Jue continued: "After we left Changjing Town, Wuhejialou concluded that something must have happened in the Hao Kingdom, and planned to return home quickly. However, to return to Hao, we must cross the river, and to cross the river, we must take a boat. "
After the ambush in Changjing Town, they all knew that the other party was cruel and cold-blooded, and could even kill the entire town, just to set up an ambush, just to kill one person in Wuhejialou.
Then, maybe there will be a new wave of people on the pier, and they may be throwing themselves into a trap when they go to the pier.
But they couldn't cross the river without a boat, and they were in a dilemma.
As they spoke, the two came to the city wall.
It was curfew time now and the city gate had already been closed, so if Gu Jue wanted to take her out of the city, he had to climb over the wall.
Gu Jue used the flying claw Bailian rope fixed on the top of the wall to carry Chu Qianchen over the high city wall.
The whole process didn't even take half a cup of tea, and the two of them landed firmly on the ground.
Seeing a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Chu Qianchen quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, hoping that he would let her go to the ground. Then she heard a familiar "huihui" sound.
Not far away, the black horse, which had been waiting alone outside the city for a long time, saw its owner coming and walked briskly towards them.
"Jueying!" Chu Qianchen greeted the black horse happily. Before she finished speaking, she was already carried on the high horse's back by Gu Jue.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jue also got on the horse and put her petite body in his arms, "Wuhajia Tower is in a village in the southern suburbs, about thirty miles away from here."
As soon as Gu Jue clamped his arms around the horse's belly, Jueying galloped out. His figure was like a black lightning, with only the four snow-white hooves standing out in the night.
"Definitely..."
The black horse ran hard back along the way it came. With its tacit understanding with Gu Jue, he didn't even need to give any instructions from Gu Jue.
Chu Qianchen, who was on horseback, gently touched the black horse's long neck and thought to himself: The prince has lost weight, and Jueying has also lost weight.
She had to ask the people at the stable to prepare more of Jueying's favorite goat's milk grass and cat's tail. As for candy, she still couldn't eat more, and could only eat one piece a day.
After a while, when Chu Qianchen looked back, he could no longer see the capital behind him.
The silver moonlight poured down gently, illuminating the road ahead. There was no one around except the two of them and the horse. The monotonous sound of horse hooves only accentuated the extra silence in the suburbs.
Chu Qianchen could hear Gu Jue's heartbeat coming from behind him.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
She counted his heartbeats, and her heart felt very at ease. She touched the horse with her right hand and asked, "What happened next?"
Gu Jue was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was asking about Wuhejial Tower.
He conveniently gathered her cloak that was blown up by the night wind, and then continued: "Later, Wuhejialou took the initiative to offer himself as bait and boarded the boat at the pier. When the boat sailed to the middle of the river, it sank. Already…”
Chu Qianchen immediately guessed their plan and said thoughtfully: "You are planning to follow Fan Sui's example."
In ancient times, Fan Sui escaped from Wei by feigning death and fled to Qin. Finally, he became the prime minister of Qin.
"That's right." Gu Jue said in a calm tone, "Haoren thought he was dead and left. I measured the flow speed and direction of the river in advance and sent someone to fish him out of the river from a mile away."
Gu Jue put it simply, and it sounded like a very ordinary plan. Wuhejialou pretended to have fallen into the trap, boarded the boat at the dock, then sank the boat into the water in the middle of the river, and then the golden cicada escaped from his shell, making the people of Nanhao think he was dead.
However, it is not easy to implement this plan. On the one hand, the current of the river is very fast, and rescue people need to have extraordinary water skills and good timing. Moreover, this plan also requires Wuhejialou to have great trust in Gu Jue.
Just imagine, if Gu Jue regrets temporarily, or simply makes a mistake and refuses to let his subordinates go into the water to rescue people, then the Wuhejial Tower who fell into the river will be dead.
Chu Qianchen was fascinated by what he heard, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said with his palms: "I guess Wuhejialou still has some discernment."
He dared to propose this plan because he knew that the prince was serious about his promise.
The prince is the best!
She was praising Wu He Jia Lou, but Gu Jue heard what she meant, and Gu Jue raised the corners of his lips happily.
He couldn't help but hug the little girl in his arms tighter, bowed his head and said, "If you are tired, just lean on me for a while."
In the cool night breeze, there was a hint of warmth in his usually cold voice.
Chu Qianchen frowned, raised his head and said, "My lord, you must be more tired, why don't I do it..."
How about she ride the horse and he could lean on her.
