Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband
Chapter 212 The feeling of heartbeat
Gu Qinlan's tears slid down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. She choked up and said, "Who on earth did this? How could they be so cruel to such a weak woman?"
Feiyun was also full of sympathy, with bloodshot eyes, and said in a low and firm voice: "If I knew who the murderer was, I would make him suffer all the pain in the world, and he would neither be able to live nor die!"
Gu Qinlan was filled with guilt and self-blame: "If I hadn't ordered Luo Feng to investigate my mother's old case, how could she have met with this disaster? It was me who harmed her."
However, Feiyun did not blame her, but said calmly: "Madam, there is no need to blame yourself. The rules of the Golden Sword Sect have always been like this. You must be loyal to the person who entrusted you with the task. Every mission we accept has hidden risks. If you are injured or die in the mission, we can only say that it is fate that plays tricks on you, not the employer's fault."
This is not just to comfort Gu Qinlan, but has been the purpose of the Golden Sword Sect since ancient times.
Gu Qinlan understood it in her heart, but still felt overwhelmed with guilt.
Seeing that he could not comfort her, Feiyun could only say: "Madam, you don't have to worry too much. We will definitely seek justice for Luofeng and repay them a hundred times or a thousand times for the harm they have done."
Gu Qinlan nodded resolutely: "Okay, be sure to notify me when the time comes!"
After leaving Luo Feng's residence and walking heavily on the way back, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but ask: "Who killed Luo Feng? How did you two meet?"
Zheng Dinglian replied, "The one who hurt Luo Feng was the Third Prince's men. She tracked down several crucial clues, but unfortunately she was set up by the other party and was murdered. I rushed to rescue her after receiving her distress signal."
His words revealed that if it had been a step later, Luo Feng's life would have come to an end.
Gu Qinlan gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "It's the Third Prince again!"
Zheng Dinglian glanced at her and asked, "You seem to be quite familiar with the Third Prince?"
Gu Qinlan narrated: "My father once tried to get in touch with the Third Prince, and even wanted to use Prince Duan's Mansion as a medium to make friends with him. However, he was just an ordinary businessman. If the Third Prince hadn't taken the initiative to show his goodwill, he would have no chance to get close to him."
Zheng Dinglian frowned upon hearing this: "Is this true?"
Gu Qinlan nodded: "It is true. I should have told you earlier, but it was difficult to deliver letters when the refugees were besieging the city. Fortunately, after my father died unexpectedly, there has been no news from the Third Prince."
Zheng Dinglian gave her a deep look and said, "I heard from Polang that you were the one who asked him to set fire to your father's warehouse. And his death was caused by panic after hearing about the fire in the warehouse."
Gu Qinlan hummed calmly: "He wanted to use the Prince Duan's Mansion to cling to the rich and powerful, so I taught him a lesson. I didn't expect him to be injured so badly, but even so, his death is not a pity."
She didn't care what Zheng Dinglian thought of her, and indirectly led to the death of her father.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Dinglian said: "Indeed, he deserved to die."
Gu Qinlan's eyes flickered, and Zheng Dinglian continued, "The matter you entrusted Luo Feng to investigate has yielded results. Your speculation is correct. Your mother's death is indeed inextricably linked to your father."
Upon hearing this news, Gu Qinlan had only one thought in his mind: It is true.
Zheng Dinglian originally thought that she would be heartbroken and even prepared words to comfort her, but he was surprised to find that she was so calm.
Gu Qinlan said calmly: "Since you have already guessed the truth, why should you be sad? Besides, he is no longer alive."
His death was indirectly caused by her, so she could be said to have sought justice for her mother.
Zheng Dinglian couldn't help but smile: "You are quite open-minded."
Gu Qinlan smiled softly: "Why should I be so upset? The dead are gone, and the old accounts are all settled. Besides, the Gu family's business is now under my control, so I am the biggest winner now."
The two of them returned to the tent quietly.
Zheng Dinglian carefully made the bed and said softly, "Go to bed early. We have to set off for the capital tomorrow."
After saying this, he walked around the screen, went to the desk, and began to deal with military affairs seriously.
Gu Qinlan hesitated slightly and asked uncertainly: "Will you rest here tonight too?"
Although in her heart she no longer resisted the idea of spending her life with Zheng Dinglian, she was still not ready to sleep with him.
Zheng Dinglian's voice was as calm as water: "That's natural."
After a moment's thought, he added, "There are no more extra tents in the camp. Besides, if I stay the night somewhere else, the whole army will discuss it tomorrow."
Gu Qinlan understood his implication after a little thought.
He was the leader of an army. If he was driven to another tent by his wife, he would probably become the laughing stock of the entire army.
For his own sake, he had to stay here.
Zheng Dinglian said gently: "If you feel uncomfortable, I can sit here quietly tonight."
At this time, Gu Qinlan felt a little embarrassed: "That's not necessary. The prince is very busy and has worked hard all day. Why don't we..."
Gu Qinlan wanted to suggest sleeping on the floor, but when she looked at the bed, she saw that there were no extra beddings, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "Then let's just squeeze in."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks felt as if they were burning.
Zheng Dinglian's face also flushed, his heart was beating like a drum, and the hand holding the pen was shaking a little.
After a while, he regained his composure and said as if nothing had happened: "If you don't mind, then it's settled. Go to bed early, I still have work to do."
He had to change the subject quickly, otherwise he was worried that his nervousness would be noticed by her.
In his heart he despised his own uselessness.
He had never been so nervous even when he went to the battlefield for the first time. But when facing Gu Qinlan, he could not control his nervousness, excitement and anxiety. Sometimes, she only needed a look to make his heart beat faster.
However, this emotion made him feel happy.
This feeling only comes when facing her.
This might be the feeling of being moved. Because he values her, he is moved by her every little action.
But he was also a little frustrated because he was the only one who felt this way. Gu Qinlan was always so calm in front of him, even more distant to him than to others.
Did she really intend to divorce him once the refugee issue was resolved?
When he thought of this possibility, Zheng Dinglian's heart was filled with anxiety.
She didn't seem to take her original oath to heart.
How could he change her mind?
He had no idea about it.
If he had known this would happen, he should not have said those words on their wedding night. That way he would have had a reason to reject her request for divorce.
Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian wanted to slap himself.
He was struggling on the other side of the screen, and Gu Qinlan was also feeling uneasy on this side of the screen.
After she said that, she immediately regretted it so much that she wanted to bite off her tongue.
After a long time, she calmed down.
