Qin Min wanted a reason?
Gu Beiyue thought for a long time before saying, "I … want to eat the longevity noodles you cook."
This …
What was the reason?
Was it a confession?
Was it a lover? Or a relative?
Qin Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but that kiss was enough for her. Whether it was a lover or a relative, they were all his people.
She choked with sobs and said, "Gu Beiyue, I'm willing … to cook for you every year."
Could this be considered her confession?
None of this was important. Qin Min hugged Gu Beiyue tightly and buried her head in his chest, as if she wanted to confirm again whether this was a dream or reality.
Little Shadow kept looking at his parents. When he saw his parents kissing, he blushed, but he also kept looking. If it was any other time, he would definitely cover his eyes. But this time, he kept smiling foolishly as he watched, smiling through his tears.
When he saw his mother leave his father's embrace, Little Shadow dashed over and plunged into his father's embrace, wiping his snot and tears on his father's body.
The greatest comfort for a child was not words, but a hug. A tight hug to let the child know that you're here!
Gu Beiyue hugged Little Shadow tightly and stroked his back silently.
At this time, Little Thing, who had almost fainted from crying, also pounced over and rubbed against his young master's chest.
Qin Min took Gu Beiyue's pulse seriously and found that the true Qi in his body had calmed down smoothly. If he could master the secrets of cultivating true Qi and control it well, his martial arts would definitely improve greatly. It must be known that this true Qi was given to him by Han Chen and Long Fei Ye. It was something that could only be found by chance.
That night, under Little Shadow's insistence, Gu Beiyue and Qin Min lay on the same bed. Little Shadow was lying between them, holding their hands and refusing to sleep.
Qin Min slept innermost, Little Shadow slept in the middle, Gu Beiyue slept outside, and Little Thing stayed by Little Shadow's side, sticking close to its young master.
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min couldn't slip away. It was only in the middle of the night when the little shadow finally fell asleep that they smiled at each other.
Qin Min was about to get up when Gu Beiyue said calmly, "Go to sleep. You've been tired out these past few days."
Qin Min was really tired!
It wasn't just these few days. It could be said that he rarely had a good night's sleep in the past few years.
"Go to sleep. You still need to rest. Peony and I will keep watch outside. Call us if you need anything."
In the end, she was a woman who was easily satisfied. Perhaps, she was extremely easy to satisfy when it came to him. Even if he asked her to stay, even if they had kissed, she still didn't dare to break their long-standing habit.
Gu Beiyue saw how tired she looked and a look of pity flashed past his eyes. He said gently, "Sleep well. I'll watch over you."
Qin Min did not lie down and insisted on getting off the bed. In the end, Gu Beiyue's two words made her obediently lie down beside the little shadow.
Gu Beiyue said, "Be good."
That night, Gu Beiyue watched over the little thing, watched over the little shadow, and watched over Qin Min. They passed the night peacefully.
The next morning, Gu Beiyue wrote a letter and sent it out by eagle. In his heart, he was naturally worried about Han Yunxi's ten-year promise.
Two days ago, the decisive battle at the Frozen Sea had already begun. He didn't know what the situation was now.
Not only did Gu Beiyue send out the letter, but after breakfast, he also instructed Qin Min to bring the little shadow back to the imperial capital before he got up and rushed to the Frozen Sea.
Qin Min saw Gu Beiyue's worry and her heart ached. He had just recovered from a serious illness, but he had to travel thousands of miles to the Frozen Sea. How could her heart not ache?
However, she didn't stop him.
Since the Shadow Clan could protect the imperial family with their lives, what was this little bit of worry?
She didn't know how much she understood this man, but she knew that in his heart, he had Han Yunxi, the Long Fei Ye, the entire imperial family, and the entire Great Qin Empire!
His heart was too big, so big that she couldn't do anything about it, nor did she dare to extravagantly ask to have it all for herself. She only wanted to have a place in his heart for her, the little shadow, and himself.
"Daddy, I want to go too!" The little shadow was jumping for joy. He hadn't seen the crown prince and Princess Yan for a long time, and he really missed them, especially Yan 'er. If he hadn't been so focused on his father's illness these days, he definitely wouldn't have gotten used to not having Yan 'er by his side.
Gu Beiyue hesitated. At this moment, Peony hurried over. "Grand Tutor, there's a letter for you from Northern Li."
"It must be news of victory!" The little shadow was overjoyed. In his heart, whether it was the emperor or the empress, they would never lose.
Gu Beiyue opened the letter, and his face instantly paled. He took a few steps back and almost fell. The thin letter kept trembling because of his trembling hands.
Qin Min was alarmed. What kind of bad news could make a calm and steady person like Gu Beiyue so shocked?
She hurriedly asked, "Something happened?"
The little shadow directly snatched the letter. After reading it, he was so frightened that he threw it away. "It's fake! Daddy, this must be fake! "
The letter said that there was an unforeseen event in the Battle of the Ice Sea. The emperor and empress were frozen under the Ice Sea, and the Ice Sea became poisonous. Princess Yan's whereabouts were unknown to this day.
After reading the letter, Qin Min's expression changed drastically. "How … how could this be?"
She covered her mouth, not knowing what to say.
This matter … was too serious!
Gu Beiyue supported himself on a nearby table to steady himself. Qin Min clearly saw him take deep breaths, and clearly saw the unconcealable grief in his eyes!
He stared blankly into the distance, but didn't stay in a daze for long. He turned back to look at the little thing, who still didn't know what had happened, and suddenly said loudly, "Little thing, go! Quickly! "
The little thing was originally lying lazily on the ground, but after hearing the young master's incomparably stern voice, it immediately jumped up and onto his shoulder.
Gu Beiyue left just like that without any explanation, and Qin Min and the little shadow couldn't speak to him either.
"Mother, I'll go with daddy. You go back to the capital first!" The little shadow said seriously.
"Be careful! Go quickly! "Qin Min said anxiously.
The little shadow immediately chased down the mountain, chasing after his daddy. Although he couldn't catch up to his daddy, he wouldn't lose him either.
Gu Beiyue was indeed so anxious that he had lost his mind. It was only until a day later that he realized that the little shadow had been chasing after him. He stopped to wait for the little shadow, and after a short rest, he immediately set off again.
When Gu Beiyue brought the little shadow and the little thing to the shore of the Ice Sea, it was already more than ten days later. Rui 'er, Gu, and the rest had also been waiting by the shore for more than ten days. Apart from Jin Zi, who had pulled himself together a little, everyone else was in despair.
Jin Zi deployed some of his trusted aides to secretly search for Princess Yan's whereabouts on the southern shore of the Ice Sea, and even the nearby grasslands. Unfortunately, there was no news of Princess Yan after more than ten days.
The reason for the secret search was naturally due to Jin Zi's considerations. There were very few people who knew about the ten-year agreement between the empress and the eldest miss of the Wolf Sect. They were the only ones who knew that the empress and the emperor were frozen under the Ice Sea.
This matter absolutely could not be leaked, or the Great Qin would fall into chaos! After all, the Crown Prince was only ten years old!
It was currently sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the black ice, illuminating the entire surface of the Ice Sea to be exceptionally sinister and terrifying.
Rui 'er, Gu, Ning Jing, Tang Li, Mu Ling' er, and Jin Zi were all squatting by the shore of the Ice Sea, silent. Whether it was waiting or accompanying, they were all thinking about Yan 'er, Long Fei Ye, and Han Yunxi.
Perhaps they were still stubbornly unwilling to believe the truth in front of them.
Suddenly, Gu Beiyue's voice came from behind, "Rui 'er!"
Rui 'er was the first to turn around, and everyone else followed suit. They saw Gu Beiyue standing behind them, with Lil Ying and Lil Thing by his side.
Rui 'er had stopped crying for several days, but when he saw the Grand Tutor, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He dashed over, and just as Gu Beiyue squatted down, he threw himself into Gu Beiyue's arms. "Grand Tutor!"
The Grand Tutor was different to Rui 'er. He was different from others, even from Gu.
In the entire world, other than his father, only the Grand Tutor could give him a sense of security, and only the Grand Tutor could give him support!
Han Yunxi had even been jealous about this, and asked Rui 'er, "So in your heart, Mother is inferior to the Grand Tutor?"
Rui 'er was right. "Mother is a woman, and Rui' er needs to protect mother. I can't rely on mother. The Grand Tutor is the same as father. As long as the Grand Tutor is here, Rui 'er won't be afraid even if the sky falls. "
Rui 'er threw himself into Gu Beiyue's arms and started sobbing. He had shed many tears in the past few days, but he had never cried out loud like this.
In the Grand Tutor's arms, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
In the Grand Tutor's arms, he seemed to have returned to the safest embrace, his father's embrace.
Gu and the rest came over, wanting to console Rui 'er. Lil Ying gently stroked Rui' er's back, wanting to comfort him. However, Gu Beiyue motioned for them to keep quiet and back away.
He picked up Rui 'er and flew far away, sitting on a large rock. He didn't try to persuade him, and only hugged him tightly, saying gently, "Child, cry if you want … The Grand Tutor is here. Even if the sky falls, the Grand Tutor will hold it up for you."
Rui 'er kept crying, as if he wanted to cry out all the depression and grief he had been suppressing for days. In the end, he was tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep.
That night, Gu Beiyue hugged Rui 'er and let him sleep peacefully. Gu took off his outer robe and covered Rui 'er with it before sitting down beside Gu Beiyue. Tang Li, Ning Jing, Mu Ling 'er and Jin Zi also came over and sat around Gu Beiyue and Rui' er.
"Where's Ying 'er?" Gu Beiyue's voice was a little hoarse.
"He was in a hurry to find Yan 'er and went to the ice sea with Lil Thing. I couldn't stop them." Jin Zi said.
Gu Beiyue didn't say anything. He didn't have to worry about Lil Thing and Lil Shadow.
Gu Beiyue and Gu Beiyue told him the details of the entire incident, while Jin Zi recounted the results of the search over the past ten days. Gu Beiyue listened carefully, his brows furrowing more and more.
Compared to everyone else's grief, Gu Beiyue was very calm. Aside from the time he'd revealed a helpless expression on Boundless Mountain, he was as calm and rational as ever. Gu didn't say a word after telling them the whole story. He sat on the side and looked askance at Gu Beiyue. He really didn't understand how Gu Beiyue's heart worked. How could he still be so calm as to calm everyone down and analyze the situation?
He said that the ice sea had turned into a poison sea and that the Water of Ten-Thousand Poisons had no antidote. At the very least, Cloud Realm Continent and Profound Sky Continent were forever cut off from each other. The poison sea was the safest barrier in Cloud Realm Continent's northern borders.
He said that the emperor and empress being sealed in ice and Princess Yan's disappearance couldn't be leaked. Preparations for the crown prince's ascension had to be made in secret.
He said that the emperor and empress were still alive, so everyone had to pull themselves together and protect the Great Qin Empire until they broke through the ice and returned.
He was very rational.
But when Lil Thing brought him into the ice cave the next morning, he finally lost his cool …
