As he spoke, he moved closer to the two of them.

Mao Zixiao, while holding Guan Zhixin, kept backing away.

He was holding a round concealed weapon in his hand.

"Don't move, or none of you will live."

After the hidden weapon attack, everyone was now on high alert towards him, and they all stopped in their tracks.

At that very moment, a cloud of smoke exploded, and everyone was enveloped in a white fog, unable to see anything clearly.

When they saw them again, the two figures were nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Chongfan gritted his teeth in anger.

"hateful!"

"Go find it quickly!"

Luo Ziqian hadn't expected that even in this situation, the two could still escape, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He immediately turned around and went to inform Shen Hechuan.

At this moment, Shen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun were reviewing memorials together.

The two sat together and discussed the matter. Not only did they achieve twice the result with half the effort, but they were also in a good mood. What used to take Shen Hechuan a whole day to process, they could now finish in less than half a day.

As a result, their relationship grew stronger.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were deeply in love.

And so, Shen Hechuan pulled Gu Jingchun into his arms again.

Ahead, Gu Jinxi turned around and looked at the two of them, letting out a helpless sigh.

They're living comfortably, but who can help him?

He's still just a child, so why does he have to do so many things?

After Jiang Mingwan's incident, Gu Jingchun ignored Shen Hechuan for a while, angrily wanting to teach Shen Hechuan a lesson.

Shen Hechuan also felt very wronged.

Gu Jingchun and the Empress Dowager had already discussed everything, but they didn't tell him anything.

It was fortunate that he noticed something was wrong that day, otherwise, wouldn't Jiang Mingwan have taken advantage of him?

Moreover, even though he had been avoiding Jiang Mingwan like the plague, Gu Jingchun was still unhappy and used this as an excuse to make him sleep on a soft couch for three days.

In the end, it was only with Gu Jinxi's help that he successfully won his wife.

Now their relationship has finally returned to what it was before.

He was naturally very happy.

At this moment, Luo Ziqian arrived.

He told Shen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun everything that had happened that day.

Both of them were silent for a moment before Shen Hechuan spoke first.

"This time, Guan Zhixin probably won't have the energy to cause trouble anymore. Take this opportunity to wipe out all of his people in one fell swoop, and explain to the people about the Guiyuan Sect, so that they know that the Guiyuan Sect is full of traitors and rebels, and naturally they should not be approached."

Luo Ziqian responded.

Gu Jingchun then spoke.

"We should not give up on finding Guan Zhixin, in case he is desperate and resorts to desperate measures."

Luo Ziqian nodded.

"Alright, Your Majesty, please rest assured. With me here, I will absolutely not let him get away."

Shen Hechuan felt uncomfortable upon hearing this and immediately snorted coldly.

"Oh--"

"What a load of nonsense!"

"Take today for example, how many times did you make him run around?"

Luo Ziqian was quite helpless.

"This was an accident!"

Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.

"Is it always an accident?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Gu Jingchun quickly interrupted them.

“Ziqian, you…and Princess Rongyang…”

Before Gu Jingchun could finish speaking, Luo Ziqian's expression instantly turned serious, and he quickly knelt down, respectfully saying to the two of them, "Your Majesty, I once again request to marry Princess Rongyang."

Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.

"What a hypocrite!"

"Haven't I already said that?"

"Rongyang is still too young. Let's wait until next year to talk about marriage."

Luo Ziqian was also very troubled upon hearing this.

"But……"

"But...we can't wait any longer..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately widened his eyes, and anger quickly gathered in them.

What do you mean by that?

"Luo Ziqian, what did you do to my sister?"

"Did you get her pregnant?"

"How old is she?"

You're not even married yet, and you're already trying to trick her into doing this? Are you even human?

As Shen Hechuan spoke, he stood up, grabbed Luo Ziqian by the neck, and was about to punch him.

Luo Ziqian kept shaking his head.

"No, no, no..."

"I don't……"

"What nonsense are you spouting..."

"Don't rush..."

"Please listen to me first..."

"Don't hit me!"

"I already told you not to rush and to listen to my explanation, but you wouldn't listen. Why did you hit me?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Gu Jingchun quickly went over and pulled Shen Hechuan away.

"Don't rush, listen to what Ziqian has to say first."

"He's done something so beastly, how could I not be anxious?"

Shen Hechuan shouted angrily.

Luo Ziqian also became anxious and raised his voice as well.

"When did I ever say that I did anything beastly to your sister?"

With just one sentence, he successfully silenced Shen Hechuan and calmed him down.

He looked at Luo Ziqian.

What do you mean by that?

Luo Ziqian is now also filled with anger.

What I mean is, I didn't do anything to your sister?

"Then why did you say that?"

Luo Ziqian opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak. For a moment, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck became thick, which was quite comical.

Shen Hechuan frowned upon seeing this.

“Explain this to me clearly. If you don’t, not only will I not agree to your marriage, but I will also bestow a marriage upon Rongyang and someone else tomorrow.”

Now, Luo Ziqian was getting anxious.

He glared directly at Shen Hechuan, disregarding the proper etiquette between ruler and subject, and called out, "Shen Hechuan!"

"You dare!"

"Do you think I dare?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll draft an imperial edict right now."

Luo Ziqian was truly driven to the brink of desperation.

"Fine, I'll say it. You're the one who told me to say it. If your sister comes after me, you'll be held responsible."

Shen Hechuan nodded, but he was even more confused.

Luo Ziqian gritted his teeth before saying, "It's not that I can't wait, it's that your sister can't wait!"

After saying that, fearing a misunderstanding, he quickly added something else.

"It's not that I got pregnant, it's that the princess... the princess... she's lusting after me..."

Luo Ziqian was already blushing when he finished speaking.

Shen Hechuan was completely stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to react before he murmured something.

"You mean she's lusting after your body?"

Luo Ziqian nodded.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Jingchun again, and gestured with his eyes that he wanted Gu Jingchun to leave first.

However, Gu Jingchun, with his chin resting on his hand and a look of great interest on his face, was far from leaving.

"It's alright, I'm just listening. I won't tell Rongyang. Maybe I can even help you figure something out!"

Luo Ziqian is no longer as embarrassed as he was at the beginning, so things became much easier from there.

"Princess Rongyang...she seems to like me very much."

"But, as you also know..."
