Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 802: Chapter 802 Distinctions Between Relatives and Others_1

Gufeng gave him a grinning smile.

Gucheng lightly landed beside him, coldly saying, “Move away.”

“Why should I leave?” Gufeng blinked his beautiful eyes with long fluttering eyelashes, “Gucheng, you should be clear about one thing. Now I am devoted to the Seventh Miss, while you still belong to the Grand General. You should understand clearly who should leave, don’t you?”

“Are you worthy?”

“If the Seventh Miss demands me, it means I’m worthy.”

“You lack the capabilities to protect the Seventh Miss.”

“Yes, last time was my negligence, which caused the Seventh Miss to be hurt. But I have reflected and received punishment. The Seventh Miss has already forgiven me,” Gufeng walked on, saying, “Anyway, the Grand General has already dismissed me from the Shadow Guards. From now on, I will follow the Seventh Miss.”

He glanced at Jiang Ning’s back, whispering, “Have you ever thought about why the Grand General so readily agreed to the Seventh Miss’s request?”

Gucheng looked at him, remained silent.

Gufeng said, “At most another month, the Grand General will have to leave. By then, you and Guying, Guxing, you all will certainly follow the Grand General. By then, who will protect the Seventh Miss?”

Gucheng did not speak.

Gufeng continued, “Among us, your martial skills are the best, and the Grand General values you the most. To be honest, when fighting on the battlefield, protecting the safety of the Grand General is your most important task. That concerns the lives of many soldiers, the safety of the people, and the rise and fall of the country.”

“Shut up,” Gucheng coldly stated, “You, lecturing me?”

“I dare not.”

Gufeng took tiny strides like a palace maid, stared straight ahead, and with a smile said, “I just hope you can understand the current situation. You can’t always stick with the Seventh Miss, so don’t try to exclude me. I am the one who has to stay with the Seventh Miss for a lifetime. You’ll be summoned back by the Grand General soon. You should say goodbye to the Seventh Miss sooner rather than later.”

Gucheng glanced at Jiang Ning in front of him.

Jiang Ning just happened to turn around and smiled, asking, “You two have been whispering all this time, what are you talking about?”

Gufeng looked at Gucheng, smiled but stayed silent.

Gucheng remained silent.

Jiang Ning noticed that something was off and asked, “Gucheng, do you feel unwell? Has your illness from last time not fully recovered? You should go back and rest, Gufeng is more than enough to accompany me.”

Gucheng coldly said, “No need.”

Jiang Ning turned to look at Gufeng.

Gufeng trotted up to her, speaking softly, “Gucheng is about to leave.”

“Leave? Where to?”

“To follow the Grand General.”

Jiang Ning was taken aback.

According to the arrangements of the Imperial Court, once Li You’s armies had broken through Silla, Jiang Mubai would seize the moment to lead his army, striking directly at the heart of Rouran, trying to eliminate the threat from Rouran to Great Sheng once and for all.

Jiang Ning was aware of this matter. The only thing she hadn’t realized was that if her Uncle were to go to the battlefield, Gucheng, as his able lieutenant, would have to go with him.

Of course, she didn’t want to let Gucheng go.

However, the safety of the Grand General on the battlefield was of even greater importance.

As a person who spends her days in the safety of the palace, if she were to claim the Grand General’s personal bodyguard for herself, that would be too much.

Especially when that person was her Uncle who loved her as though she were his own daughter.

Jiang Ning beckoned Gucheng, “Come here, I need to talk to you.”

Gucheng quickened his pace, walking to her side.

Gufeng and Xiachu both dutifully fell a few steps behind.

Jiang Ning began, “Gucheng, I hope what I just said didn’t hurt your feelings. I didn’t mean you are not important.
