Chapter 2503: Chapter 2503: Not Entering the Capital for Now (Part 1)
Gu Qingheng hurriedly returned to his room to pack his things but was stopped by someone at the door.
"General Gu." Ayang looked at Gu Qingheng, a hint of shyness on her face.
"Princess Ayang, what’s the matter?" Gu Qingheng had a decent impression of this princess; at least during these days in the barracks, she was quite well-behaved, even helped the military doctors, wasn’t picky about food, and everyone thought highly of her.
"I... I just wanted to ask, when are you leaving?"
"Nanzhao has already retreated, and the Flame Sect’s base has been destroyed. Miaojiang is no longer in danger. Now, there’s only some cleanup work left here, and the army will return to the capital soon."
"Then what about me... us?" Ayang became a bit anxious. In fact, she hadn’t interacted much with this General Gu, but for some reason, he was deeply imprinted in her mind because she had never seen such a handsome man, even better-looking than those princes.
"The Emperor knows about your matter." Gu Qingheng smiled, "Your father was officially designated by the late Emperor as the King of Miaojiang, a hereditary title. You will accompany the army back to the capital, and the Emperor will reissue the title to the King of Miaojiang."
Ayang couldn’t help but lower her head and pinch her clothes: "What about you?"
"Me?"
"Yes." Ayang nodded, "Are you going to the capital as well?" She had inquired about this man’s matters over the days, knowing he had a wife who seemed about to give birth soon, so she came to ask.
"I’m not going to the capital for now." Gu Qingheng smiled and said, "Princess Ayang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving." Right now, he couldn’t spare any thought for the other’s mind; his whole heart had already flown back home, to his wife’s side.
Ayang hadn’t reacted yet; the person before her was gone. She hurriedly lifted her eyes wanting to chase after him, but someone came from behind: "Ayang."
"Brother Alei." Ayang had to stop her steps.
"Why are you here?" Ran Lei was a bit curious, "I’ve been looking for you everywhere."
"It’s nothing." Ayang smiled, "What do you want from me?"
"Ayang." Ran Lei seemed awkward, "I’ve told Dad about us, so..."
"Brother Alei." Ayang’s face turned solemn, interrupting what he was about to say, "Now is not the time to talk about this. As the daughter of the King of Miaojiang, it is only natural for me to take responsibility for the revival of Miaojiang, and Jin Bao is still young." After saying this, she turned and left.
Ran Lei looked perplexed. Their marriage wouldn’t prevent them from rebuilding Miaojiang, nor hinder Jin Bao’s growth, it’s just...
Forget it, let’s talk in a few days.
Gu Qingheng didn’t take this matter to heart at all because he didn’t see it as a matter, instead after returning, he packed up briefly preparing to leave, but then someone came along.
"Prince Yun, do you have any matters?"
"Xinxin is about to give birth?"
"According to the time, it should be soon." Gu Qingheng frowned, "I don’t even know if I can make it back." From here, even riding fast, it would take seven or eight days, "If Your Highness has no other matters, then I will be leaving." He turned and left after speaking.
Qi Jingyun watched Gu Qingheng’s back, his eyes slightly flickering.
"Third Brother." At this moment, Qi Jingrong came running over.
"You came just in time." Qi Jingyun glanced at Qi Jingrong, "I’ll leave here to you to assist the Eighth Prince. I’ll leave first."
