"Her whole heart is with you, so she doesn't feel lonely."

Even if you're not by his side, you're still there for him.

Won't she resent me?

Gu Jingchun spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

The old woman smiled even more kindly.

"Silly child, in this world, what mother ever complains about her child?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun froze, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.

Is that how it is?

She couldn't help but reach out and place her hand on her neck.

The things that Mei Xueli gave her are hanging here.

Whenever she misses Mei Xueli, she can't help but clutch it in her hand.

As they were talking, the little girl from yesterday arrived, beaming with joy.

She wore the hairpin that Gu Jingchun had given her, which swayed as she walked, and she was overjoyed.

"Sister, this is the medicine my father asked me to give you. Please brew it for your husband as soon as possible."

Father said that drinking this medicine would help him recover faster.

Gu Jingchun nodded upon hearing this.

"Thank you very much, young lady."

As she spoke, she took off the earrings from her ears.

"Could I trouble you for one more thing, young lady?"

The little girl stared intently at the exquisite earrings in her hand, her eyes practically glued to them. She nodded quickly and said:

"Anything that I can help with, I will definitely help."

Gu Jingchun hesitated for a moment upon hearing this before speaking.

"I wonder how far this place is from the town?"

As soon as Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Han Sheng, who was hiding in the tree, immediately aimed the hidden weapon in his hand at the little girl.

The little girl nodded.

"It's not far. If you take an oxcart, it will only take two hours to get there."

Gu Jingchun spoke:

"It's like this, young lady, as you've probably seen, my husband has been pampered since childhood, has a bad temper, and is quite picky. He probably doesn't like wearing ordinary clothes, so I was thinking of asking you to go to town and buy him a set of better quality clothes so I can change him into them and make him more comfortable."

Upon hearing this, the little girl suddenly understood and was deeply moved.

"Sister, you are so good to your husband. He is so lucky to have married you."

Gu Jingchun lowered his head shyly upon hearing this.

"You jest, young lady."

Hearing this, Han Sheng, who was in the tree, withdrew the hidden weapon from his hand and thought to himself, "I didn't expect Miss Gu to be so thoughtful, she even thought of so many things."

No wonder the monarch liked her.

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he said a few more words to the little girl, who then happily left to buy clothes for Mo Junxing.

The girl acted quickly and bought the clothes by the afternoon.

When the old woman saw that it was almost time, she said she was going to pick up her husband and left as well.

After everyone left, Gu Jingchun casually tossed aside the medicine in his hand and went to rest.

Han Sheng climbed down from the tree at this moment. He looked at Gu Jingchun with a threatening tone.

“Miss Gu, that girl said she wants to prepare medicine for the monarch.”

Gu Jingchun: "The medicine is right there. If you want your master to be well, then go and brew the medicine yourself."

Han Sheng choked, and seeing Gu Jingchun's indifferent expression, he had no choice but to start decocting the medicine himself.

After he finished decocting the medicine, he went to his room.

As soon as I entered, I was met with Mo Junxing's cold gaze.

Han Sheng was startled. First, following Mo Junxing's instructions, he fed Mo Junxing the remaining half bowl of porridge, and then fed him the medicine.

After administering the medicine, Mo Junxing was allowed to rest for a while.

After I had rested, the girl had already bought me a set of clothes.

Han Sheng helped Mo Junxing change his clothes.

He spoke while changing the clothes.

"Your Majesty, Miss Gu still cares about you. She was worried that you wouldn't be used to those coarse clothes, so she specially had someone buy you new clothes!"

Han Sheng didn't have a good impression of Gu Jingchun before. But after this incident, his goodwill towards Gu Jingchun increased rapidly.

Mo Junxing, however, gently curled the corners of his lips.

"Have we made contact with our people?"

Han Sheng nodded.

"Yes, they've all arrived and are now hidden in the shadows. Even if Empress Xiao's people come looking for you, they won't be able to harm you in the slightest."

Mo Junxing nodded.

"Okay, stay alert, someone will be here soon."

Han Sheng was slightly surprised.

"Is she one of Empress Dowager Xiao's people?"

Mo Junxing glanced at him.

"It was the woman you mentioned who was doing this for my own good, the one who specially went to town to bring back these people."

Hansheng:......

******

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Shen Hechuan and his group were engaged in a fierce battle with a group of men in black.

After defeating all the men in black, Shen Hechuan collapsed to his knees, exhausted.

Tianji quickly came over to help him up.

The officer came over and took his pulse.

After confirming that he was safe and sound, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. Go and see who these people are."

Along the way, they encountered many assassins.

This group's approach is clearly different from the others, revealing a familiarity in every aspect.

Tianji went over and checked everyone, searching through their jade pendants and other belongings, but found nothing useful.

It wasn't until Shen Hechuan went over and tore open the clothes of one of them that he found a mark on their right shoulder.
