The last time she was in Yuncheng, she could see that her father's condition was not that good.
Otherwise, she would not have asked the hidden killers to protect her father and brother at that time.
She had no relatives in her previous life, but in this life she cares about family ties very much, and she especially doesn't want to see anything happen to her relatives around her.
She had always hoped that General Gu would be able to enjoy his old age and have a happy old age.
However, the emperor is still plotting against her father.
The emperor felt guilty because he knew how much General Gu and his family had contributed to the Tianyuan Kingdom.
He also knew that his calculations against General Gu were wrong this time.
I just didn't expect that Gu Qingying would react so fiercely and actually come to the palace on his own initiative.
But he also had his own difficulties and said: "If the issue with the Western Regions is not resolved this time, the war that has finally calmed down will start again. Do you want to see the people suffer from the war again?"
Gu Qingying smiled contemptuously and said: "What does the war between the two countries have to do with me? Your Majesty, I have always admired you as a person. I know that you take good care of our family. I am also very grateful, but I beg you not to plot against my father again."
Is that okay? The road to the Western Region is long, and my father will be delayed for half a year just going back and forth. If there is a war between the two countries, my father will have to stay in the Western Region to fight."
Her father had promised her the last time he went to Yuncheng, and that was the last time.
The emperor was ashamed.
If an outsider spoke to him in such a tone, he would never forgive him, but when Gu Qingying said this, he only felt guilty.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "I did promise you that I will not let your father go to the battlefield after Yuncheng. This time it is my fault. I apologize to you and will never send your father to the Western Regions."
Gu Qingying breathed a sigh of relief.
He said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you send my brother there. My brother is young and needs training, but my father's health is getting worse day by day. I just want to accompany my father for a few years. I hope the emperor understands."
In all conscience, the emperor was very kind to her.
It's not bad for their family. If her father were younger, she would never stop him.
The emperor felt heavy and looked at Gu Qingying and said: "I understand how you feel. In fact, I feel guilty about this matter, but I hope you can understand me."
Gu Qingying didn't understand the emperor, and explained: "I understand the emperor's difficulties, so I can let my brother go. My brother is young, and it doesn't matter if he is delayed for half a year by going back and forth. He can handle it even if there is a war. My father is not in good health.
Well, if I hadn't been thinking of ways to nurse him back to health, the situation would have been even worse."
She has been nourishing General Gu's body with spiritual spring water.
Even so, she also felt General Gu's fatigue.
The emperor felt heavy in his heart. He stood up and walked a few steps before he felt a little more comfortable: "You don't have to worry about your father's affairs. I won't agree to his going. I was the one who plotted against your father. I'm sorry. I don't want you to hold a grudge."
I."
Gu Qingying is also a free and easy person.
The emperor has said this, and she will definitely not bear any grudge against him. She said with a smile: "The emperor is so free and easy, and I am not a petty person. From a starting point, I am actually going against my father's wishes. In fact, I can see that,
My dad wants to go to the border."
General Gu has a heavy sense of responsibility, which Gu Qingying has long understood.
But sometimes this sense of responsibility is a burden.
It was clear that my body couldn't bear it, but I persisted because of my sense of responsibility.
She couldn't say whether it was right or wrong, but she didn't want General Gu to end miserably.
The emperor thought of General Gu and said, "Your father does have a strong sense of responsibility. Don't worry, I won't let him go to the border again. Your brother will stay with the emperor and accompany Jingyi!"
Gu Qingying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and saluted: "I just offended the emperor, please forgive me."
The emperor waved his hand, and the accumulated breath in his heart dissipated, and said with a smile: "No need to apologize, I didn't think carefully about this matter, and I don't blame you."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Come with me for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
Gu Qingying agreed and accompanied the emperor to the Imperial Garden.
She and the emperor were the only two people in the huge imperial garden.
The emperor walked slowly, and Gu Qingying followed slowly.
The emperor looked at the beautiful scenery around him and said as if he were chatting with family members: "Yelu Tianqi has come to me more than once to suggest that he wants to marry you. Recently, even several ministers in the court have been trying to find out what I am saying in a roundabout way.
After all, I just like you."
Gu Qingying only knew about Yelu Tianqi, but not about the ministers of the court.
But even if he knew it, he wouldn't care: "Anyway, I have no intention of getting married. My father has said that I will make my own decision about my marriage."
The emperor smiled: "You are honest, but you are still so young, do you really plan not to get married?"
He also felt guilty towards Gu Qingying. If he hadn't given her the marriage, she wouldn't be like this.
Gu Qingying's unhappy life ultimately had something to do with him.
Gu Qingying smiled coquettishly and said: "It's not that I won't get married, it's just that I haven't met anyone I really like, so I feel there is no need to waste time."
After saying this, Wanyan Tiancheng's appearance actually flashed in his mind.
Gu Qingying shook her head, thinking that she was probably crazy. How could she think of Wanyan Tiancheng? They were just friends.
The emperor felt that Gu Qingying had really changed. Now Gu Qingying only lived for herself. This state was very good.
The two of them wandered around the imperial garden until the queen arrived.
The queen, who was Li Cangjue's biological mother, was looking at Gu Qingying with a frown on her face, her eyes full of disgust.
The queen was satisfied with Gu Qingying in the past. At that time, Gu Qingying was still the well-educated and sensible eldest lady in the general's palace.
Now, I feel that Gu Qingying is too arrogant.
Especially after knowing that Gu Qingying disdained Li Cangjue, her impression of Gu Qingying became even worse.
No, when the palace maid reported that the emperor and Gu Qingying were walking in the imperial garden, she hurried over. She didn't understand why the emperor had such a good relationship with someone who disliked their son.
Not only did he protect Gu Qingying in every way, but he also took great care of her.
Gu Qingying saluted the queen and stood aside politely.
But she was thinking about how to deal with it. The queen had such a bad attitude towards her, so she was obviously dissatisfied with her!
A flash of displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he asked: "Is the queen coming to the imperial garden for a walk?"
The queen shook her head and said, "I'm here to see her." She pointed at Gu Qingying with such arrogance that she couldn't help but frown.
Gu Qingying still didn't answer, she believed that the emperor would come to her rescue.
really.
The emperor said with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "She is the guest I invited to the palace. If the queen has anything to do, just tell her directly! I still have something to discuss with Lu Qingying."
In a word, the meaning of maintenance is too obvious.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the queen is not the most favored. Although she is the master of the harem, she still has to look at the emperor's face.
Now that he felt the emperor's displeasure, he immediately restrained his arrogant attitude and changed his words: "I want to ask about Jingyi."
