At that moment, she clearly felt Mo Junxing pause for a moment.

And she could clearly hear his laughter coming from his chest as she buried her ear in his chest.

He said.

"very good."

After that, Mo Junxing did exactly as Gu Jingchun had predicted.

By meticulously piecing together the case of the officials accused by Gu Jingchun, they ruthlessly severed one of Empress Dowager Qin's arms, allowing Mo Junxing to establish his own power in the court.

Gu Jingchun also benefited from being associated with Mo Junxing, and his business flourished.

However, as she spent more time with Mo Junxing, she increasingly felt that Mo Junxing was a madman.

A complete madman.

However, it was precisely because he was a madman that he was able to become the new monarch.

Mo Junxing's birth mother was a palace maid in the Great Qi Palace. She became pregnant with Mo Junxing because she had wicked intentions and slept with him.

However, she died of postpartum hemorrhage shortly after giving birth to Mo Junxing.

Therefore, people in the palace say that Mo Junxing is an ominous star who will bring death to those close to him.

Therefore, since no one wanted Mo Junxing, he grew up on his own.

However, because of her low status, she was constantly bullied in the palace.

But it is precisely because of this that he has a very tenacious vitality. As long as he gets a little chance, he will climb up at all costs.

The Empress Dowager gave him only a tiny opportunity, which he seized.

Then, he stood up, personally killed the crown prince and the most capable prince, poisoned the then-dying monarch, and ascended the throne by force.

Therefore, he was labeled a tyrant.

The Queen Dowager Qin, dissatisfied with his tyrannical behavior, joined forces with the officials to put him to death.

However, he doesn't play by the rules at all and will kill people at the drop of a hat.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager could only unite with the officials in court to undermine his power, and dared not actually do anything.

Gu Jingchun almost broke Mo Junxing's legs, and she thought Mo Junxing would hold a grudge because of it.

After all, this guy wanted to kill his savior as soon as he woke up.

However, he didn't. From beginning to end, Mo Junxing never mentioned this matter, nor did he mention Gu Jingchun saving her.

He never even once asked why Gu Jingchun was there.

Gu Jingchun was secretly using his name to carry out his own actions.

Later, after discovering his eccentric nature, she began to distance herself from him and prepared to gradually shift her focus to her own business, Dacheng.

It was at this moment that Mo Junxing found her again.

The national treasury is empty, he needs money, and she has a way to make money.

Gu Jingchun initially wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist the allure of money and began to cooperate.

In just one year, she earned enough money for Mo Junxing, solving the urgent crisis of the Great Qi Dynasty and ensuring that the people could have enough to eat.

Gu Jingchun's business also expanded rapidly during that time.

However, at that time, Gu Jingchun vaguely felt that Mo Junxing's gaze towards her was somewhat strange.

Therefore, Gu Jingchun would occasionally mention his son, Gu Jinxi.

The point was to remind Mo Junxing that she had a son.

They just wanted Mo Junxing to give up this idea.

However, the thoughts of a madman cannot be deduced using the thoughts of an ordinary person.

Because she discovered that Mo Junxing actually wanted to kill Gu Jinxi at this time.

...

The next day.

Gu Jingchun slowly opened his eyes, saw the familiar room, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking back on everything that had happened in Daqi, Gu Jingchun still felt a chill run down his spine.

This is not for any other reason than that Mo Junxing is simply a madman.

The madman was completely irrational and acted unpredictably, keeping Gu Jingchun constantly on guard and never letting his guard down.

After waking up, she thought for a while and decided to tell Shen Hechuan about it.

Perhaps Shen Hechuan had a better way.

Even if Mo Junxing was coming for her, Shen Hechuan was able to take timely precautions.

After making up his mind, Gu Jingchun quickly went to the front yard where Shen Hechuan was.

When Gu Jingchun arrived, he saw two people trembling as they came out of the main hall.

Gu Jingchun couldn't help but take a second look, and saw two people immediately come to Gu Jingchun's side and respectfully bow to him.

“Miss Gu, it is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter, which is why she offended you. I have severely punished my daughter and ordered her to stay at home to reflect on her actions and meditate. She will not be allowed to go out again tonight. I hope that you, Miss Gu, will be magnanimous and forgive my daughter this time.”

After he finished speaking, another man next to him echoed his sentiment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun realized that this was Chang Zhaozhao and Ding Jiaojiao's father, the Grand Chancellor and the General of the Escort Banner.

The two men had helped Shen Hechuan a great deal during the rebellion, so Gu Jingchun naturally didn't want to offend them.

She immediately curtsied and said, "Your Excellencies are too kind. This was just a game between girls. Your Highness the Crown Prince made a mountain out of a molehill and has only caused trouble for you two."

"I hope you two will forgive me."

"I will go and persuade His Highness the Crown Prince right now."

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the two adults felt even more ashamed and immediately decided to go back and give their two daughters a good scolding again.

After the two of them left, Gu Jingchun entered the main hall.

Shen Hechuan was sitting with a cold expression. When he saw Gu Jingchun enter, he immediately smiled gently and extended his hand to Gu Jingchun.

"come over."

Gu Jingchun walked over, but Shen Hechuan suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap.

Gu Jingchun exclaimed in surprise and reflexively wrapped his arms around Shen Hechuan's neck.

How did you sleep last night?

Gu Jingchun nodded.

"good."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Hechuan and noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shen Hechuan paused, recalling how he had secretly sneaked into Gu Jingchun's room last night out of concern for him.

At that time, Gu Jingchun was frowning, as if he were dreaming.

He noticed that her forehead was covered in sweat, so he stepped forward and carefully wiped the sweat away from her forehead.

At this moment, Gu Jingchun exclaimed in surprise and called out a name that Gu Jingchun never expected.

Mo Junxing.

At that moment, he was completely at a loss.

Mo Junxing.

The monarch of the Great Qi.

A young emperor.

Unparalleled in handsomeness, with unparalleled elegance.

Because of his good looks, even though he was cruel and bloodthirsty, countless women were still drawn to him.

Considering that Gu Jingchun's previous activities were all in the border area with Daqi.

Moreover, when Gu Jingchun escaped last time, some of the people who came to meet him seemed to be from Daqi.

In addition, today...

Could it be... that Gu Jingchun actually had an affair with Mo Junxing...?

Shen Hechuan dared not think about it.
