Chapter 164: Scared to Pee

But Gu Jingchun directly instructed him: "Tell your people that if they see anything later, they must control their mouths.

You have to be careful about what you should and shouldn’t say.”

These words made Shen Hechuan confused.

Could it be that Xier will be...

The thought of this possibility made him feel extremely uncomfortable and he didn't dare to even think about it.

The two walked a few more steps, and Gu Jingchun suddenly stopped.

Chen Hechuan also stopped and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

At this time, all the trees in the area were broken in half, and there were "people" lying all around them.

All of them were oddly shaped, with their hands and feet lying in strange positions.

When he saw Gu Jingchun and the others coming, he immediately struggled and made a sound.

“Help…Help…”

Gu Jingchun looked at these "poor" people and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

His tense expression relaxed a lot.

However, when Chen Hechuan looked at the appearance of these people, he immediately became nervous.

These people were beaten into this state, so Jinxi must be...

Shen Hechuan didn't even dare to think about it.

He directly picked up a person on the ground.

"Have you seen a child of four or five years old? Where is he?"

When the man, who was already weak, heard the word "child", his eyes widened instantly and his whole body began to tremble.

At the same time, a fishy smell emanated from this person.

Chen Hechuan couldn't help but look down, only then he realized that this man was actually scared to pee.

He frowned in disgust and wanted to ask more, but unexpectedly, the man tilted his head and fainted.

This reaction was so strange that Shen Hechuan was confused.

He threw the person down and turned to look at Gu Jingchun.

"Did they encounter some brutal beast?"

Gu Jingchun was no longer surprised, but he didn't know how to explain it to Chen Hechuan, so he simply turned around, didn't say anything, and continued walking forward.

She couldn't tell him that Gu Jinxi was poisoned and that this was his reaction after being poisoned.

Not to mention Shen Hechuan, even she was horrified and didn't believe it.

After all, how could there be any poison in the world that could make a person extremely strong?

However, the further they went in, the more strange-looking "people" they saw.

Looking at the broken tree trunks around him, Shen Hechuan's heart beat faster and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

If he hadn't been afraid that his loss of composure would scare Gu Jingchun, he would have rushed up by now.

At this time, a few more muffled groans came from the front.

Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan looked at each other quickly, then ran forward quickly, and saw a woman standing in the middle covered in blood.

Hearing the noise, she immediately turned around, her eyes cold and fierce, as if she was ready to fight at any time.

This person was none other than Xiaoman, who was already exhausted.

After seeing Gu Jingchun, Xiaoman immediately felt relieved.

She put away her sword, carried Gu Jinxi out from the grass beside her, and then walked forward.

"Miss."

Xiaoman knelt on the ground.

"I failed in my duty and failed to protect the young master. I hope the master will forgive me..."

"Get up."

Gu Jingchun spoke.

After all, the other party came prepared, and with so many people, Xiaoman could not deal with them alone.

If Gu Jinxi didn't have such ability, he would probably have died on the spot.

Gu Jingchun took a step forward and wanted to hug Gu Jinxi.

But Chen Hechuan was one step ahead of her. He took Gu Jinxi and held her in his arms. Then he looked around and asked, "How did you get away?"

Xiaoman: "We... met a master. He... defeated everyone and then left."

"Just now, I thought there was another wave of assassins, so I hid the young master and wanted to fight them to the death."

Xiaoman said this with some fear.

After hearing this, Chen Hechuan's doubts were alleviated a lot.

After all, Xiaoman alone cannot handle so many people.

However, such a master could easily deal with so many people by himself. He was very interested. If he could recruit him...

Thinking of this, Shen Hechuan shook his head secretly.

Now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent thing is to find out who is the mastermind behind this?

Chen Hechuan couldn't help but look at Gu Jinxi in his arms, and immediately shouted: "Earthly Branches."

Soon, Dizhi came running over.

He placed his hand on Gu Jinxi's pulse and said after a moment: "Your Highness, this young master is not seriously injured. He is just too tired and has fallen asleep. He will feel better after a few days of rest."

After Dezhi finished speaking, Shen Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jingchun was used to this.

Every time Gu Jinxi exerted himself, he would fall asleep weakly.

The more effort you put in, the longer you sleep.

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Gu Jinxi might have to sleep for several days this time.

The next step is to count the survivors.

These people were obviously professional killers. When they found out that their actions had failed, they bit the poison in their teeth and died immediately.

However, there were a few people whose teeth or faces were broken and they were unable to bite again, which is why they managed to survive.

Shen Hechuan brought the man back and naturally interrogated him again.

When Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan brought Gu Jinxi back to their house, as soon as they entered, they saw a white-haired old man sitting anxiously in the pavilion in the yard.

Seeing them coming back, she immediately took a step forward.

"How about it?"

"Have you found Xi'er?"

Gu Jingchun didn't expect that the empress dowager would be in her house. She hurriedly wanted to pay her respects, but was stopped by her.

"It's already this late, and you still care about these empty formalities."

"What happened to Xi'er?"

The Queen Mother's anxious voice trembled a little.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchun hurried forward to support her and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, Xi'er just fell asleep, there's nothing serious."

The Queen Mother heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Today, she hurried out of the palace, holding on on her last breath. When she heard that Gu Jinxi was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She took several steps back and was about to fall, but Gu Jingchun helped her up and she didn't fall.

Gu Jingchun helped her sit down in the pavilion.

"Don't worry, your majesty. With this servant here, I will definitely not let anything happen to Xier."

As she spoke, she instructed Lan Xin beside her, "Take the Empress Dowager to rest first."

But the Queen Mother was unwilling to do so. She had to see Gu Jinxi lying in bed unharmed before she could breathe a sigh of relief and completely put her mind at ease.

She wanted to return to the palace immediately.

However, Nanny Li was worried that she was running around too much and overworked, which might be detrimental to her health, so she advised the Queen Mother to stay in Gu Jingchun's house first and wait until Gu Jinxi woke up.

The Queen Mother was already worried about Gu Jinxi's safety, so she naturally wouldn't object when she heard this.

As for the palace, Nanny Li had already made arrangements. All she had to do was say that the Queen Mother was not feeling well and needed to rest, and no one would disturb her.
