The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1011

Chapter 1011: 479 Handsome Man Scheme (Second Update)

Grandfather would never allow himself to become a bargaining chip that hampers my elder brother and the Gu Family army.

If the remnants of the former dynasty took him to threaten my brother, Grandfather would definitely choose death over submission!

Gu Chengfeng returned to his own courtyard.

He put on his night travel clothes, donned a mask, and selected a few hidden weapons from Qianji Pavilion.

After completing these preparations, he went to the next room.

By this time, Gu Chenglin had already settled down for the night. Gu Chengfeng approached the bed, looked at the peacefully sleeping Gu Chenglin, tucked him in properly, and caressed the little bit of hair growing on his head. He then took out the banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them under his pillow.

"In the future, you’ll have to buy your own hair growth potion," he said.

Having said that, he took one last reluctant look at his brother. At that moment, he found himself envying Gu Yan and the newly born little one, for at least those two had so many people doting on them, while Gu Chenglin had only him left.

But now, even he was about to leave.

This time, his mission was not a simple task. He was to travel to the distant frontier, infiltrate the enemy camp, with life and death uncertain. If he never returned—

"If I don’t come back, you’ll have to look after yourself from now on, understand?"

The sleeping Gu Chenglin had no idea of his brother’s departure, turning over in his sleep, his demeanor peaceful and stable.

In the end, Gu Chengfeng left.

He quietly closed the door for his brother and stealthily rode away on the prized horse of their father from the stable.

Bishui Alley.

A family had spent a busy day and now each returned to their rooms to rest.

Gu Jiao went to the east room to check on the little one. The newborn’s jaundice had receded, and the folds on the face were smoothing out, turning into a white and tender cutie.

"Jiaojiao," Xiao Jingkong appeared behind her, holding a pillow.

"Haven’t you gone to bed yet?" Gu Jiao turned to look at him.

"Hmm, I missed you a little," Xiao Jingkong said earnestly.

Gu Jiao bent her lips into a smile, ruffled his little head, "I’ll take you there."

"Yeah!" Holding his small pillow in one hand and Gu Jiao’s hand in the other, Xiao Jingkong hopped and skipped to the next room.

He lay on the soft bed, with his round, wide eyes, and obediently said, "Jiaojiao."

"Hmm?"

"I’ve covered myself with the blanket."

"Good boy," Gu Jiao touched his forehead, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Jingkong obediently closed his eyes.

Soon he opened them again, "Jiaojiao?"

"I’m here."

He closed his eyes again, comforted.

His little hand clung to Gu Jiao’s, not concealing his dependence and need.

Gu Jiao stayed with him until he entered dreamland, and began to snore gently. Only then did she get up and return to the backyard through the narrow corridor.

She went to the rooms of Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun. The two little men were also deep in slumber. Gu Yan slept very neatly, perhaps because he had been bullied so much in the womb by his sister that he had no room to spread out. Gu Xiaoshun’s sleeping position was less ideal, with one leg hanging off the bed.

Gu Jiao tucked Gu Xiaoshun’s leg back under the covers and touched both boys’ foreheads.

Among the children, Gu Xiaoshun was the most worry-free, while Gu Yan was of the greatest concern.

Gu Yan’s heart condition was a tough problem that Gu Jiao wanted to resolve, but unfortunately, the conditions for surgery in the small first aid kit were just not sufficient.

Gu Jiao pulled open the nightstand drawer and placed the medicine for heart failure inside.

After completing these tasks, she went back to the west room and picked out a few clean outfits.

"Aren’t you leaving the capital?" Xiao Hen asked nonchalantly, adding a few more items for her. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
