"Miss Gu's words may seem heartless and leave no room for compromise, but in fact they have exposed her own weakness."

Situ Mingji was somewhat confused and couldn't help but look over.

Jiang Mingwan didn't elaborate further, but instead led her away from Gu Jingchun's residence and into a carriage before continuing:

"Gu Jingchun's seemingly forceful rejection of us actually reveals the depth of her love for His Majesty."

Just like lovers deeply in love, inseparable and intolerant of even the slightest imperfection.

"But dealing with this situation is often much simpler."

Because they cannot tolerate even a grain of sand, the slightest bit of grit will cause them to quarrel so fiercely that the world will break apart.

Arguments hurt them, make them feel wronged, and irritable, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of their vulnerability.

After Jiang Mingwan finished speaking, Situ Mingji nodded in agreement.

"My younger sister knows more. So, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

Jiang Mingwan smiled.

"Next, naturally, we don't need to take any action."

As she spoke, she leaned close to Situ Mingji's ear and whispered a few words. Situ Mingji's expression paused, his thin lips curled into a smile, and he nodded triumphantly.

At this moment, Gu Jingchun learned of Jiang Mingwan and Situ Mingji's departure and let out a cold snort.

"Tell Shen Hechuan everything we said today, and remember, not a single word should be missed."

Lan Xin nodded, and seeing Gu Jingchun's obviously unfriendly expression, immediately gave the instructions.

Upon returning, Lanxin, seeing Gu Jingchun's expression, couldn't help but advise, "Miss, you don't need to be angry. I believe His Majesty will absolutely not allow them to enter the palace."

Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.

"I'm not angry, I'm just... a little annoyed to find out that my man is being coveted."

"I was just thinking about how to prevent my man from being coveted, but he's in such a high position now that I don't seem to have any ideas."

unless……"

Gu Jingchun paused for a moment at this point.

"Unless, my position is also high enough."

As Gu Jingchun thought about this, a certain idea began to stir in his heart.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The capital city was calm, like the calm before a storm.

It carried an air of impending storm, making people uneasy.

At this moment, at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw a group of people riding horses, carrying long flags, galloping rapidly towards them.

The soldiers saw this and immediately went to inform the general guarding the city.

The general rushed up, his gaze fixed on the group of people in the distance.

Judging from their ranks, there should be about a hundred people. The general guarding the city did not dare to hesitate. Just as he was about to order the soldiers to guard the city gate, he saw the man in the distance suddenly raise a bright sign.

The general saw it from afar and was immediately startled.

Then look at the face of the leader.

Who else could this be but Gu Erli?

This time, Gu Erli led an army of 100,000 and stirred up a huge storm on the border, causing unease in the imperial court.

However, in just a few days, Gu Erli managed to make the Qi army retreat without losing a single soldier, which instantly boosted the morale of our Dacheng soldiers.

This also made the people cheer with joy.

For this, Shen Hechuan even sent an imperial edict to commend him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Erli returned so quickly, and with such a large entourage.

Upon seeing this, the general didn't bother to close the city gates. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to evacuate the civilians, fearing that the warhorses might run too fast and injure them.

When Gu Erli and his men arrived at the city gate, everyone slowed down and slowly entered the city.

When the people saw the long line of soldiers behind Gu Erli, they all stood on both sides and looked over with envy.

They all held their flags high and shouted as they entered the city.

Happy birthday to my younger sister, Gu Jingchun!

Happy birthday to my younger sister, Gu Jingchun!

And looking at their flags, what they wrote was nothing more than "Happy Birthday to Gu Jingchun".

The commotion was so great that all the passersby were attracted, and they began to whisper among themselves, all eager to know who this Gu Jingchun was.

Through the spread of various messages, it soon became known that Gu Jingchun was the owner of Tianjing Trading Company.

He was a kind-hearted man who, during a severe drought in Qi County, used his own money to buy 10,000 tons of grain to provide porridge to the people.

He was the hero who designed a crossbow that could fire three arrows in succession and successfully challenged the Qi dynasty's weaponry in a contest between the two countries.

She is also the mother of the current crown prince and the future empress.

As these messages spread, even those who were previously unaware of Gu Jingchun began to express their admiration and respect for her.

But Gu Erli shouted again at this moment.

"Today is my younger sister Gu Jingchun's birthday. To celebrate her birthday, I, the general, have decided to distribute porridge generously. Today, I will be distributing porridge at the gate of my sister's residence."

As he spoke, Gu Erli flicked his long sleeves, and countless copper coins flew out.

Immediately, the people forgot about the excitement and squatted down to pick up the money.

This news quickly reached Gu Jingchun's ears.

Upon hearing the news, she immediately ran out, only to find that people were distributing porridge at her doorstep.

And yet, he knew absolutely nothing about it.

She looked ahead and murmured to herself.
