The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1653: Past Life Finale

When Gu Jiao woke up, there was still a lingering tint of blood in her eyes.

In her dream, the sky was filled with a mist of blood that seemed to have seeped into this room, turning even the pearl curtains into blood-red agate.

The pungent smell of blood filled her nostrils, and shattered corpses lay strewn across the beams of the room.

Tap, tap.

Thick drops of fresh blood landed on her expressionless face—

"Jiaojiao!"

"Jiaojiao!"

It seemed someone was calling her.

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!" Xiaojingkong climbed onto the bedchamber, shaking her shoulder with his little hands, "Jiaojiao, why are you ignoring me?"

The blood-dripping corpse was obstructed by a young and innocent face, and everything in the nightmare abruptly halted. Gu Jiao blinked, fully waking from the nightmare.

She looked at Xiaojingkong, who was staring at her with concern. In a raspy but calm voice, she responded, "Jingkong."

Xiaojingkong let out a long sigh, "I was so worried about you just now."

Gu Jiao lay flat on the soft bedchamber, raised her hand, and pulled the little one into her embrace, "I’m fine."

Xiaojingkong, suddenly getting a loving hug, blushed shyly.

His little hands covered his reddened face, and his little feet swung restlessly, not knowing where to place them.

Jiaojiao indeed likes me the most!

"Uh... Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao, you’re hugging too tight..."

He, he, he was almost out of breath.

Silly child, why did you come? Why did you come to collect my body, knowing it’s a trap?

"Jiaojiao... let’s go home... I’ll take you home..."

The young man’s bloodied body tightly protected her in his arms, just as she used to hold him when he was young. His eyes were red from killing, and his back and legs were pierced with cold, gleaming arrows.

His scorching blood dyed her Huangquan Road red.

He placed her on the bamboo raft for returning home, but he himself fell by the war-torn riverside.

Dayan’s youngest war god... had fallen!

After breakfast, Gu Jiao headed to Hei Fengqi as usual.

She first inspected the various training grounds. All the generals were diligently training their troops, and the Hei Fengqi members were also dutifully accepting their missions.

Little Shiyi, after toppling over more than a dozen horse trainers, still hadn’t stopped causing trouble. It was so energetic that even a thousand horses were tired of it.

Even the explosive training that horses feared the most quickly became its new addiction.

The orderly horse herd was turned upside down by it, transforming the training ground into a large-scale accident scene.

In the end, it was the Hei Fengqi King who stepped in and suppressed Little Shiyi by force, making it finally train obediently.

However, although it appeared obedient, when it brushed past a Hei Fengqi horse, it swiftly lifted its hoof and kicked the horse’s butt!

Horse: "..."

Why so cheeky!!!

The price for its cheekiness was another round of punishment from the Hei Fengqi King, and in the end, it limped away to train, looking very pitiful.

"My Lord! My Lord!"

Mr. Hu ran over energetically, and today, he had learned his lesson and managed to get a feather fan from somewhere.

He fanned Gu Jiao while smiling, "Why did you come so early? The sky has just barely lightened!"

"I came to check things out," Gu Jiao said.

Mr. Hu smiled, "Your orders yesterday truly had the power of thunder, straightening out the bad atmosphere in Hei Fengqi! The officers you promoted all deeply respect you. How could they not take training seriously? You can be completely at ease!"

The officers she promoted were partly from the Xuanyuan Family’s old ranks and partly new blood who had joined later.

Their serious training wasn’t due to respecting her but because maintaining strict military discipline and tradition was the norm for Hei Fengqi.

Strict with oneself, and strict with others.

Right now, she only had a title. The soldiers didn’t truly respect her; they were simply following orders because it was their duty.

Seeing that Gu Jiao’s expression remained unchanged, Mr. Hu secretly wondered if he had flattered the wrong place.

He smiled warmly, "It’s so hot; My Lord, why don’t you rest in the barracks for a while?"

Gu Jiao placed her hands behind her back, "I’m going to find Wei Renchong."

With that, she turned and headed towards the back camp.

Mr. Hu wanted to stop her but couldn’t, "Hey—My Lord! My Lord!"

"Oh, go handle something for me," Gu Jiao instructed, then went to Wei Renchong.

Yesterday, the weapons and armor piled up like mountains in the courtyard were now nowhere to be seen.

It seemed Wei Renchong had repaired them overnight.

He was indeed someone with high execution ability.

Wei Renchong sat in the room, repairing the armor that had been sent in this morning.
