Transcendence in the comic world

Chapter 1270

Just as she was about to explain the reason, the waiter came over enthusiastically carrying three plates of cold dishes.

"Gu Tanhua, this is an extra plate of cold dishes from our shopkeeper. If you hadn't inscribed a plaque for our shop, our shop wouldn't be what it is today. You eat and drink well! This is the roast knife in the early spring. I guarantee you satisfy!"

"Haha, I'm quite satisfied. Just go about your business."

Gu Jiuci twitched the corners of his lips. He originally wanted to show off in front of Huo Mingche, but he didn't expect to be exposed by the waiter in the shop.

"It seems like the rumors are indeed good."

Huo Mingche nodded clearly, picked up the wine bottle, and leaned over to pour the wine for Gu Jiuci.

Gu Jiuci stared at Huo Mingche's movements, always feeling something was strange. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was the first time that she was being taken care of like a girl.

Those friends all thought she was a man, and because of her reputation that spread throughout Chang'an, she was the one who paid the bills every time and took care of this and that.

"Actually, the food in this store is really good. I just wrote a plaque on a whim. I didn't expect that wealthy people from all over the country would come to try it. Over time, the business will get better. In the end, it's the store's fault..."

As Gu Jiuci said this, she picked up the chopsticks to pick up the peanuts on the plate. Suddenly her hand slipped and the peanuts flew away. She subconsciously flicked her wrist to catch it.

Huo Mingche's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fell on her hand, and he opened his lips meaningfully.

"Good skill."

Gu Jiuci's expression changed, and he immediately loosened his grip, and the peanut fell to the ground.

"The Crown Prince is joking. I am the top scorer in the literary test. Unlike the Crown Prince, where did my skills come from? It's just a coincidence."

"There are not so many coincidences in this world. The callus on your palm can't be polished off even if it takes ten years of hard work."

Huo Mingche looked at Gu Jiuci with a calm expression, and his eyes fell on Gu Jiuci's wine glass...it was still full.

"I......"

Gu Jiuci was secretly annoyed in his heart, Huo Mingche was so careful, how could she show such a big mistake!

Before she could think of any countermeasures, she heard Huo Mingche's deep voice again.

"The third prince and the prince are now in a tense situation. Huo admires you and Mr. Gu for being able to survive in such a situation and protect the country. You don't have to be wary of me."

"You don't have to be wary of me."

Hearing these words, Gu Jiuci suddenly raised his head and met Huo Mingche's sincere and magnanimous eyes.

At this moment, her heartbeat was as fast as a crazy rabbit. She was 15 years old, and she was surrounded by the treacherous waves every day. She knew that the most terrifying thing in the world was the human heart, and the most untrustworthy thing was the human heart.

But...she wanted to believe Huo Mingche because of these words and this look.

"You are the first person... to say that about me and Dad."

All the deliberately pretended cynicism on Gu Jiuci's face disappeared and gradually turned serious.

"My father and Prime Minister Gu are old friends. If it weren't for Prime Minister Gu, the food and grass on the border would be in danger. Now that the border is peaceful, the princes are vying for power and profit, but none of them has the people in their hearts. But with me, the Prince of Zhennan, here, Prime Minister Gu Then you don’t fight alone.”

When Gu Jiuci heard the words, the hand holding the cup trembled slightly for a moment, and countless emotions suddenly surged in her heart. For a long time, she had watched her father alone, working against the traps of those aristocratic families to benefit the people.

She also wants to be such a person. For the past five years, she has been wearing a mask with fear. What she really wants to say in her heart, she has no way to tell others, nor does she dare to tell others.

Although tens of millions of people admire her, no one understands her.

"What happened on the city tower today still makes me feel uneasy. The general has been on the border for many years. Did he know anything about Makino?"

Gu Jiuci finally stopped covering up and asked directly.

Her network was not that thorough after all.

Seeing that she finally lowered her guard, Huo Mingche slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"According to spies in our army, the old emperor of Makino died of illness, and the regent assisted the young prince to ascend the throne and suddenly proposed a marriage. It happened in a hurry, and I didn't expect it. The entire Makino army was in the army, and the whole people were fighting. Things were very strange. "
