The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: 505 The truth comes to light (two more updates)

After Governor Cheng finished speaking, he realized that General Gu’s expression was a bit dazed.

Governor Cheng: "...I see, he must be overwhelmed with joy. It makes sense, after all, he came all this way to fight, wasn’t it to rescue his own grandfather?

Just look at his reaction, what a dutiful grandson!

But, does he need to be this dazed?

It almost looks as if he’s just remembered he has a grandfather.

Governor Cheng shook his head as if he were playing a pellet drum. Impossible, absolutely impossible!

General Gu is a filial son and a worthy grandson, he’s not the sort of person to forget his own ancestor after getting a sister!

Governor Cheng chuckled, bowed his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Then, I shall take my leave now, there are still matters to deal with at the Yamen, and I will come to pay my respects to you again tomorrow."

Gu Changqing cleared his throat and said, "Mhm, off you go."

After Governor Cheng had left, Gu Changqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He turned and entered the barracks, his gaze falling upon Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was admiring her Red-Tasseled Spear. After a battle, the little tassels at the spear tip were dirty, and the safflowers drawn and stuck on the shaft were scratched. However, Gu Changqing had cleaned and repaired them, making them just like new.

"Do you like it?" Gu Changqing’s eyes softened unconsciously.

"I do." Gu Jiao didn’t have much of a special fondness for the small safflowers and tassels, but they were all personally attached by the young monk Jingspace, and she cherished them greatly.

If she returned and Jingspace found out they were damaged, he would be sad.

Hearing her say she liked it, Gu Changqing’s mood suddenly lifted. He said, "Grandfather has awakened, I will be going to the Governor’s Mansion later."

He knew that Gu Jiao hadn’t accepted this grandfather in her heart, so he didn’t suggest they go together.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao volunteered, "I’ll come with you."

Her sworn brother had awakened. She must pay him a visit!

Plus, she had to stay by Gu Changqing’s side to guard against any former imperial assassins who might strike at him.

Gu Jiao wanting to go wasn’t something Gu Changqing could object to.

To move around easily, Gu Jiao had always dressed as a boy in the borderlands, today was no exception. However, before setting out, Gu Changqing noticed she had put on a mask.

Gu Changqing: "..."

The two proceeded to the Governor’s Mansion.

It was only after hearing from the servants that wounded soldiers were being moved into the Governor’s Mansion that the Old Marquis realized the Gu Family’s forces had arrived at the frontier. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
