Chapter 196: A slap in the face?

“It’s good that you can save your life now.

Since your life has been saved, you should cheer up and be ready for revenge at any time."

"Do you know who harmed you?"

Hearing this, Gu Weiang finally raised his head slowly.

"Shen Hechuan."

Chu Qianlan was surprised.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

After saying that, she thought of something else.

"Isn't that girl Gu Jingchun in the East Palace now? Could it be that she did all this?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiang glanced at Chu Qianlan but did not say anything.

He knew clearly why Shen Hechuan was targeting him.

Judging from his plan this time, it is aimed at him and Prince Rui, creating a rift between them. He must have known that he was secretly on Prince Rui's side.

However, Chu Qianlan didn't know.

She now thought that this was Gu Jingchun's revenge on their Yong'an Marquis Mansion, so she immediately cursed.

"He's such an ungrateful person that you can never tame!"

She snorted coldly.

"No wonder that Taoist priest said she was an evil star and instructed us to send her away."

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiang immediately spoke up to remind him.

"Shut up, this matter cannot be discussed further."

"It's been so long now, everyone has been kicked out, and they're starting to threaten your life, and you still won't let me speak?"

"Back then, when that nanny was about to take Gu Jingchun away, you tried to stop her.

Fortunately, I stopped her. Look, our house has been so peaceful during her absence."

"Ever since she came back, the house has become increasingly restless."

"If I had known earlier, I should have followed the advice of that stinky Taoist priest and never let this girl come back."

Chu Qianlan felt even more regretful as he spoke.

"I don't know what happened to the wet nurse who took her away. After so many years, she must be dead!"

After Chu Qianlan finished speaking, she saw that Gu Weiang didn't react at all, so she snorted coldly.

"I think this girl will ruin our Yong'an Marquis Mansion sooner or later. We might as well take this opportunity to deal with her."

Gu Weiang couldn't help but look at her.

"She is our daughter after all, how could you bear it?"

Chu Qianlan didn't know why, but she just couldn't like Gu Jingchun.

And they are very afraid of her, so they want to kill her.

What they didn't know at this moment was that there was a dark shadow lying on the roof.

Hearing this, he left quietly.

******

Prince Rui is going crazy.

He had been lying in bed for a long time, and today, he was finally able to stand up.

But he learned the news that his mother had been banished to the cold palace.

This made him so angry that he almost fell down. If it weren't for his poor health, he would have gone to Emperor Rongcheng to plead for mercy.

But at this moment, he received news secretly from his mother.

Concubine Hui told him to wait for the right opportunity and not to go to Emperor Rongcheng at this time.

This day.

Gu Jingchun is on his way to Shou'an Palace.

During this period of time, Gu Jinxi was completely treated as the "crown prince". Emperor Rongcheng always kept him by his side and personally taught him various imperial strategies.

Occasionally, when she has free time, the Queen Mother will "snatch" the person away.

As a result, Gu Jingchun hadn't seen Gu Jinxi for several days.

This made her very distressed. After learning today that Gu Jinxi was in the Empress Dowager's palace, she decided to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to see her son.

Who made me miss my son?

But when she was halfway there, someone stopped her.

Gu Yunjin and several maids stood in front of Gu Jingchun.

"Oh my, who was this? It turns out to be my dear sister!"

Gu Yunjin deliberately prolonged the tone, his voice full of pride.

"I thought my sister was so powerful, but I didn't expect that she would end up being a mere lady-in-waiting in the palace."

Gu Yunjin said this and took another step forward.

"Sister, sister."

“You know, being a lady-in-waiting in this palace is not easy.

If I don’t have someone to support me, I’m afraid my future life will be very difficult.

If you want to live a more comfortable life in the future, why not..."

As Gu Yunjin spoke, he leaned over, deliberately getting closer to Gu Jingchun, and continued to speak in her ear without lowering his voice at all.

"How about you kneel down and beg me now, and I'll protect you from now on?"

Gu Jingchun couldn't help but chuckle.

"Need not."

She said looking up.

"After all, given your current status in the palace, I'm afraid not many people would take you seriously. Are you sure you can protect me?"

These words hit Gu Yunjin right in the heart.

At first, she endured the disgust and married the third prince, thinking that she would be successful in the future.

However, he didn't expect that this was a den of tigers and wolves, with no decency or dignity at all, and he was tortured by the third prince every day.

And because of the Third Prince's stupidity, she was not taken seriously at all by outsiders.

Sometimes, even a palace maid would bully her, which made her so sad and angry that she wanted to kill everyone.

When she learned that Gu Jingchun had entered the palace, she thought she could take the opportunity to humiliate Gu Jingchun severely in order to save her own face.

However, she didn't expect that Gu Jingchun not only didn't listen, but also revealed her situation in one sentence, which immediately made her so angry that her face changed.

"Gu Jingchun, don't forget your current status. How dare you disrespect me?"

As she spoke, she raised her voice.

"Come here, capture this disrespectful female official and beat her severely!"

Gu Jingchun sneered, "Let's see who dares!"

As she spoke, she took out a token of Shen Hechuan from her bosom.

"This is the prince's token. Seeing it is like seeing the prince. Who dares to touch me?"

Gu Yunjin was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

She didn't expect that Gu Jingchun had such a good relationship with the prince, and even got the prince's token.

However, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

So she gritted her teeth and continued, "Even if it's the Crown Prince's token, it doesn't matter. Even if you disrespect me in front of the Crown Prince, I can still beat you."

Gu Yunjin said, and then ordered again: "What are you standing there for? Come on, fight!"

After saying this, the maid beside her hesitated for a moment, but after Gu Yunjin gave another order, she made up her mind and prepared to capture Gu Jingchun.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

"stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Hechuan slowly walking towards him.

"what are you up to?"

Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Yunjin with cold eyes, which made Gu Yunjin subconsciously take a step back.

When Gu Yunjin saw Chen Hechuan, he took a step back and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Brother Crown Prince."

She murmured, but Shen Hechuan frowned.

"Princess of the Third Prince, please be mindful of how you address me. I am the Crown Prince."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Jingchun again, and directly held Gu Jingchun's hand in his, and then said:

"When did you become free to beat me, my lonely man?"
