The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1447

Chapter 1447: 707 King of the Black Wind (First Update)

Lord Jing went to the kitchen and found a pile of food, fruits, braised chicken, dried meat, and he filled several large bowls to take to his elder brother.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his elder brother having a seemingly enjoyable conversation with that kid.

In reality, his elder brother was not at all talkative, and he himself found it odd that he’d thought of the phrase "seemingly enjoyable conversation."

The hand massage for the Duke of An Country was finished, but Gu Jiao was still sitting on the little stool beside the Duke.

The scene was eerily harmonious, making him feel like he was the one who was out of place.

Lord Jing stood there, confounded for three seconds, then walked over to Gu Jiao and said, "Don’t sit here, my elder brother doesn’t like people getting too close to him."

The Duke of An Country: "..."

Was it still not too late to beat his own younger brother to death?

After the old Lady passed away, the old Duke of An Country remarried. The stepmother was a woman of virtue and benevolence, who took care of the young heir meticulously. It was only after the young heir expressed his desire for siblings that the stepmother gave birth to two children, one of whom was Lord Jing.

The Duke of An Country regretted it, he should not have wanted a younger brother.

The rain had stopped, and it was time for Gu Jiao to go back.

A strong sense of reluctance appeared in the depths of the Duke of An Country’s eyes, which was also a strange feeling for him— he wanted to keep her here.

The Duke of An Country looked down, tapping his fingertips on the armrest a few times.

Gu Jiao watched his fingertips and said, "No need, it’s getting too late. After dinner, the inner city gate will be closed."

Upon hearing this, Lord Jing was startled, "My elder brother spoke to you?" How had he not heard it?

Gu Jiao pointed to the Duke of An Country’s hand: "He did."

Lord Jing: "..."

Kid, I’m not very educated, don’t try to fool me.

Lord Jing felt that Gu Jiao was just talking nonsense. He and his elder brother had a telepathic brotherly bond, and he couldn’t even understand what his elder brother was trying to say with those taps, let alone a total stranger, this kid.

Gu Jiao was about to leave, and Lord Jing couldn’t ask her to stay longer, but under the stern gaze of his elder brother, he still took out the food he had painstakingly brought from the kitchen: "Take it for the road."

"No need," said Gu Jiao.

"Take some anyway," insisted Lord Jing.

Gu Jiao hesitated, then reached out and took a piece of dried meat.

Lord Jing was surprised, "Eh? You like to eat this too?"

"Do you like it?" Gu Jiao asked him.

Lord Jing shook his head, "I don’t, but my elder brother does."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Although Lord Jing often complained with his words, when it came to giving things to Gu Jiao, he was surprisingly generous. He wrapped the entire plate of dried meat in paper and handed it to Gu Jiao, "Take it, eat it on the way."

Gu Jiao broke half and handed it to the Duke of An Country.

Lord Jing thought to himself that there was still more in the kitchen and he could just go get more for his elder brother later.

But then he saw his elder brother’s fingertips press down on the half-wrapped piece of dried meat.

That strange feeling returned; had his elder brother just smiled? It was as if the father was overjoyed because his child had thought to offer filial piety to him.

Lord Jing clutched at his heart, "I must be seeing ghosts, truly ghosts."

This kid sometimes reminded him of his eldest brother-in-law, and at other times, of the departed Yinyin. He seriously suspected that he had encountered something unclean recently, and decided to have his wife go to the temple to light some incense and get a talisman for peace to ward off evil.

Gu Jiao went to the stable.

The Black Wind King’s injuries had already been treated by the doctor Lord Jing had called, with medicine applied, but its spirit was not in good shape.

Gu Jiao decided to take him back first.

Lord Jing said, "Have you thought it through? This is Han Ye’s horse."

"Who is Han Ye?" Gu Jiao asked.

Lord Jing replied, "The Crown Prince Han, his name is Han Ye, not the ’ye’ of night, but the ’ye’ of shining brilliance."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Lord Jing drew a weak breath of air: "You really aren’t afraid? This is his horse! If he finds out you’ve taken his horse home, he will surely come looking for trouble! And— this horse seems to still remember its former owner; it only recognizes one master in its life, even if you take it back home, it will not acknowledge you as its master."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Lord Jing: "..."

Can you not react so calmly?

Gu Jiao and Crown Prince Han had a feud that had been established long ago; with or without Black Wind King, they were not on friendly terms. As for matters of ownership, Gu Jiao had never given it a thought.

What’s with all this talk of masters and servants, it’s just troublesome. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

Gu Jiao rode the horse, taking both the Horse King and the Black Wind King back with her.

Everyone at home was surprised to see the Black Wind King, and Gu Jiao recounted the events of the afternoon.

The family sat in the main room, while only Gu Yan had gone to the backyard to brush Black Wind King’s coat.

Mrs. Nan, puzzled, said, "Why did it suddenly go to find its former master? Was it stimulated by something?"

Master Lu suddenly slapped his forehead, "Did it realize its master was no longer on the battlefield after seeing your Red-Tasseled Spear?"

As long as the spear was with the man.

The Red-Tasseled Spear of the War God Xuanyuan Li would not leave his hands lightly. Hence, with the return of the Red-Tasseled Spear, the people of the Xuanyuan Family must have returned as well.
