On the day the Marquisate welcomed back its true young lady, the entire capital city waited to watch a show. They intended to make her marry in place of someone else? She, carrying the Crown Prince...
Chapter 172 Partiality
If this gets out, I don’t know how they will frame her!
Situ Mingji: Call the imperial physician?
Just because of this tiny impact?
Impossible?
Could it be that... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the imperial physician for help because he was worried about her safety?
Situ Mingji suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Chen Hechuan with anticipation.
But she was disappointed after all, because after the imperial physician arrived, Shen Hechuan immediately asked him to check on Gu Jingchun, and after confirming that Gu Jingchun was fine, he let him leave.
Situ Mingji waited in the side hall for a long time, but only received the news that the imperial physician had left.
After Situ Mingji learned about it, he immediately went to look for Chen Hechuan, but he could not find any trace of Chen Hechuan.
Finally, after some twists and turns, she finally found Shen Hechuan, but saw Shen Hechuan looking at her coldly.
"What? You hit someone, and I haven't held you accountable yet. What else do you want?"
Situ Mingji took two steps back in disbelief, and then he suddenly realized that the person Chen Hechuan cared about was Gu Jingchun!
It turns out that I am a joke!
She closed her eyes and let two lines of tears fall instantly.
Situ Mingji, the legitimate daughter of a noble family, had been pampered and high-ranking since childhood. But now, she had been insulted like this because of a small female official.
She couldn't bear the thought of this, so she went to the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother has always been kind to Situ Mingji, and she has always been happy to see her marriage to the Crown Prince.
So, after she arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, she told her everything that happened in the East Palace today with a sense of grievance.
"This was originally a trivial matter, and I had no intention of taking it to heart. However, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has made me lose face because of it. I have no other choice but to come here."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately shouted angrily, "Ridiculous!"
After saying this, he suddenly remembered that Gu Jingchun was in the East Palace. He frowned slightly and asked another question.
"That lady-in-waiting is..."
"It's Luo Ziqian's former fiancée, Gu Jingchun."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she could only sigh, “As expected!”
She glanced at Situ Mingji.
I thought, you could have bumped into anyone else, but you had to bump into the person closest to Chen Hechuan. No wonder Chen Hechuan showed no mercy to you.
She thought for a moment, then comforted Situ Mingji, saying, "The prince can't be blamed for this. He must have been worried and anxious at the time. You should be more careful when walking in the future. Otherwise, if you get hurt, what will happen?"
Situ Mingji didn't expect the Queen Mother to say so. He was stunned and even forgot to cry.
She was very curious about what kind of ability Gu Jingchun had that could make Shen Hechuan and the Queen Mother stand on her side.
Thinking of this, Situ Mingji couldn't help but make a secret decision.
This time, she must marry Chen Hechuan and never let a small female official step on her.
Only after Situ Mingji left did the Queen Mother sigh.
"Tsurukawa is becoming increasingly unstable. His actions will sooner or later cause dissatisfaction among the ministers."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li also said, "Miss Gu and the young master have just moved to the Eastern Palace, so the Crown Prince is inevitably a little nervous, which is understandable.
Things will definitely get better when the Crown Prince gets married."
The Queen Mother nodded upon hearing this.
She knew that the prince was currently in deep affection for Gu Jingchun, but this friendship would eventually fade.
Therefore, she never gave up the idea of letting Shen Hechuan marry Situ Mingji.
She also understood Chen Hechuan's desire to favor Gu Jingchun alone, but as the crown prince and emperor, he had the responsibility of having children and grandchildren, so how could he do whatever he wanted?
As for Gu Jingchun's thoughts, she also knew it.
However, which woman in the harem can receive this unique favor?
Even Emperor Rongcheng and Jiang Xianhao ended up like ordinary emperors and empresses.
Appearance is not harmony but essence is not.
And at this time in the East Palace.
Gu Jingchun was sitting on the edge of the bed bored, with Shen Hechuan next to him, who was full of tension.
She wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Shen Hechuan.
"Your leg is injured. You need to rest."
Gu Jingchun looked at his slightly scratched knee and said, "With such an injury, there's no need to rest."
"I said you need to rest, so you need to rest."
Gu Jingchun was too lazy to argue with Chen Hechuan, so he just lay down.
But then he thought about how he had just hurried out because of Situ Mingji's words, and he felt angry again. After thinking about it, he turned around, facing away from him, and resolutely refused to look at Chen Hechuan.
This indifferent look made Shen Hechuan confused for a moment.
He wanted to talk to Gu Jingchun, but Gu Jingchun turned his head and ignored him.
He became more and more confused and asked.
"Does your wound hurt?"
"No pain?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"happy."
"You...are in a bad mood?"
"Very good."
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm not ignoring you."
"What... happened to you?"
"Nothing."
Shen Hechuan completely lost his temper.
Finally, while Gu Jingchun was asleep, he went out to ask for the secret.
"Didn't you say that as long as I ignore her, she will come to me on her own initiative?"
"But why did she say something different from you?"
Tianji also shook his head with some doubt.
"But that's what's written in the books I read."
"When a woman sees a man dating another woman, she becomes jealous and angry, and she takes the initiative to approach the man."
Tianji thought about it.
"Could it be that because Miss Gu doesn't have Your Highness in her heart, she has no reaction when she sees Your Highness with other women?"
But this was more than just no reaction, it was clearly to the point where she felt annoyed just by seeing him.
This made Chen Hechuan very worried, so he beat Tianji up directly.
He was so stupid at the time that he actually believed what Tianji said, so now Gu Jingchun doesn't want to pay attention to him.
But this guy actually said that it was because she didn't have him in her heart.
This made him very angry, and he vented all his frustration about Gu Jingchun ignoring him on Tianji.
Tianji: In the end, he had to bear everything.
And at this time in Hui'an Palace.
When Concubine Hui learned that Situ Mingji left in anger, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"OK!"
“It’s really good.”
"So what if he, Shen Hechuan, has a child?"
"Now that I've offended the Situ family, I can no longer sit comfortably on the throne of Crown Prince."
However, he forgot that she had an assistant.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hui ordered: "Go, prepare something for me."
At this time, in the third prince's courtyard.
Gu Yunjin lay on the bed dying.
She has been lying here for several days, but still no one has called a doctor for her.
She now felt a burning pain all over her body, as if her whole body was falling apart.
