Chapter 163 Leaving
Chapter 163 Leaving
It was not until dusk that all the food in the warehouse was put on the cart. The guards who had just helped with the work sat on the ground to drink water and rest.
"Liu Yun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yun immediately heard the order and ran to Gu Chen, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to explain?"
Gu Chen took a small bag of gold and threw it to him, and then said: "You have worked hard today. You can take your brothers to the city to have something to eat! Share the remaining money between you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Yun smiled, did not refuse, and then called the brothers around him to prepare to go back to the city for dinner.
After all, after today, they will have to accompany His Highness to Huzhou tomorrow.
"Let's go back too."
Watching Liu Yun leave with the guards, Gu Chen turned to look at Jiang Heyan and Jiang Anran behind him.
I came to the warehouse today just to pack the food in advance, and I can leave directly for Huzhou early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Anran took a step forward and couldn't help but look at Gu Chen, "Prince Gu, are you really going to Huzhou tomorrow?"
She learned about the famine in Huzhou yesterday, and also knew that most of the food the other party asked her to hoard was used to help the people in the Huzhou area.
Although sometimes the prince is a little too thoughtful, he is still quite responsible when it comes to big things.
Jiang Heyan next to her pursed her lips slightly, as if she had something to say, but didn't know how to say it.
Gu Chen explained: "Huzhou people are in dire straits now, and local officials may not be willing to fight against the disaster. I need to go over there to see the situation there."
"I can't see that this black-hearted prince like you still has some sense of responsibility!"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "My nature has always been like this. It's you who think so badly of me!"
"Tch, do you think I will believe it?"
After a brief negotiation, Gu Chen drove Jiang Anran back to the Zhenguogong Mansion first, and then accompanied Jiang Heyan back to Prince Zhuang's Mansion.
As soon as she accompanied Jiang Heyan into the room, she gently held Gu Chen's arm and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how long will you stay in Huzhou this time?"
Gu Chen said: "It's hard to say. The disaster in Huzhou is quite serious. It can take as little as one month and as long as two or three months."
"so long?"
Jiang Heyan pursed her lips, with reluctance hidden in her eyes.
She and His Highness have never been separated from each other since they got married. Now that she suddenly heard that the other party was leaving, and had been gone for several months, she suddenly felt mixed feelings in her heart.
Gu Chen saw the sadness of the other party, held the other party in his arms, gently stroked the back of the other party's head, and said soothingly: "There is a famine in Huzhou. As the prince of a country, I cannot ignore it. I will be busy with things in Huzhou." After that, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Jiang Heyan relaxed a lot. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her face and said, "Your Highness, I'm fine. You go to Huzhou to fight the disaster. I'll help you watch Prince Zhuang's Mansion and wait for you to come back."
She understands His Highness, so she can't make trouble here. Although she was still a little sad, she didn't want to show her vulnerable side.
Gu Chen nodded, "Okay."
At this time, Jiang Heyan broke away from Gu Chen's arms, looked at Gu Chen seriously with her clear and bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's getting late now, I'll go make dinner for you."
.....
The meals in the evening were very sumptuous, including steamed, braised, boiled... countless. Jiang Heyan obviously put a lot of effort into this meal.
"Your Highness, please eat more. When you go to Huzhou, you may only have such good food."
Looking at her completed work, Jiang Heyan smiled and said to Gu Chen.
There is a famine in the Huzhou area now. Even if His Highness was entertained by officials in the past, the meals would definitely not be as rich as those at home.
What's more, these are all made by myself.
Gu Chen smiled bitterly, "You make so much, even the two of us can't finish it."
"It's okay, Your Highness, you can eat as much as you can." Jiang Heyan said with a smile.
As the daughter of everyone and the princess of Prince Zhuang's mansion, she really doesn't know what it feels like to be hungry.
Even if she now learns that there is a famine in the Huzhou area, she is still willing to prepare a large table of dishes for her beloved man. Even if she can't finish it, she can still give it to the servants in the house.
To her, such behavior is not considered extravagance, but a normal meal.
Seeing this, Gu Chen stopped asking any more questions and ate the food in the bowl honestly. The taste was not bad. It seemed that this girl's cooking skills had improved recently.
Seeing Gu Chen quietly eating what she made, Jiang Heyan felt extremely satisfied. She smiled sweetly and said with a wink, "Your Highness, you are going to Huzhou tomorrow morning. You must have a good time tonight." Stay with me..."
Gu Chen immediately smiled and reminded: "I have to get up early tomorrow to take the guards out of the capital."
"It's okay! It's still early, and I won't let you stay with me for a particularly long time."
As she spoke, Jiang Heyan pouted her lips slightly and asked pretending to be disappointed: "Your Highness, can you bear to watch your beautiful princess stay alone in an empty room?"
Gu Chen:....
....
The next day.
Gu Chen got up early and turned to look at Jiang Heyan, who was sleeping soundly next to her. She had a fair and pretty face, slightly pursed lips, long eyelashes covering her eyes, and a delicate and well-proportioned nose. A faint snort...
Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jiang Heyan was unusually clingy and active last night, but it took him a while to rest before going to sleep.
Immediately, Gu Chen withdrew his gaze and prepared to get out of bed.
At this moment, Jiang Heyan, who was sleeping, seemed to notice something strange. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes. The next second, she saw Gu Chen walking beside the bed, packing her clothes.
"Your Highness!"
Gu Chen was stunned and quickly turned his head, "Did I wake you up?!"
However, Jiang Heyan didn't answer a word. She just stretched out her hands hidden under the quilt and looked at Gu Chen coquettishly, "Your Highness, hug me."
"I'm going out. You should sleep a little longer at home! After all, I didn't sleep until most of the night last night."
"No, I just want a hug from His Highness!"
Gu Chen had no choice but to do as she was told. But the moment Gu Chen hugged her, Jiang Heyan held Gu Chen's neck tightly with both hands, wrapped her legs around Gu Chen's waist, and kissed Gu Chen directly on the mouth in a condescending manner. ....
An hour later, Gu Chen finished breakfast and came to meet everyone outside the house.
Jiang Heyan followed behind, with some reluctance in her eyes.
Seeing Gu Chen come out, Liu Yun quickly walked up to him and said, "Your Highness, all the food has been packed in the suburbs. We can set off at any time."
"OK."
Gu Chen stepped onto a black horse, pulled the horse's reins and looked at Jiang Heyan who was standing at the door of the house, and said, "Go back and take a rest. I'm leaving."
Jiang Heyan nodded and responded, "Well, Your Highness, please be careful along the way."
"good."
After speaking, Gu Chen left the palace with a group of guards.
Looking at Gu Chen's retreating back, Jiang Heyan's eyes were filled with ripples, and her heart felt empty.
