Chapter 81: Determined

After making sure that he would not touch Gu Jingchun, Dizhi led his men out from the top of the tent.

After Dizhi took his men away.

The secret finally came to light.

Shen Hechuan's face was cold and hard, his thin lips were tightly pursed, with a sharpness that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Call the imperial physician! Tell him that someone is trying to murder me and that I'm unconscious!"

"Notify the Emperor and have everyone present today detained and investigated one by one."

At the same time, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed tent door was pushed open and several ladies rushed in.

They were originally talking and laughing, but after seeing Chen Hechuan, they were startled and quickly took a step back before kneeling down.

Shen Hechuan stared at them with cold eyes.

They were sweating profusely at the sight.

So after some questioning, several people told me everything they knew.

It turned out that one of the ladies had soiled her clothes, so she came to change clothes under the guidance of a palace maid, and she didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be here.

Hearing this, Shen Hechuan chuckled.

Prince Rui is really a meticulous person.

No, it should be said that Concubine Hui is really thoughtful.

If at this moment, he and Gu Jingchun were indulging in passion here, then these ladies barging in would surely cause an uproar.

Then, the news that he had taken my wife by force would spread throughout Tiandu immediately.

Prince Rui and Concubine Hui hid in the dark the whole time. Not only did no one suspect them, but the emperor was able to catch Shen Hechuan's fault without any soldiers.

What a good plan.

But, it's a pity.

They really underestimated him.

Do they really think that he can just sit on the throne of the crown prince casually?

In the past, he could have turned a blind eye and let them do whatever they wanted.

But now, he would never allow them to plot against Gu Jingchun.

Therefore, Shen Hechuan immediately detained these ladies.

When the families of these ladies can't find them, they will definitely find a way to investigate.

And this investigation will definitely reveal the problems.

By then, even if Emperor Rongcheng wanted to suppress the matter, it would probably be difficult.

Of course, if their families are not helpful, he can still help them secretly.

And on the other side at this time.

Gu Jingchun was placed in a safe place by Dizhi.

Coming out from under the quilt, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was an extraordinary experience to experience a different kind of flying.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Gu Jingchun immediately ran towards his tent.

Dizhi also understood that Gu Jingchun had to go back at this time to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

So he protected her in secret until he was sure that she had brought the tent of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion from those with ulterior motives, he returned to Chen Hechuan.

When Gu Jingchun returned to his tent, he found that the entire tent was surrounded by people.

Her heart skipped a beat and she hurried forward, but was stopped by someone.

Seeing this, she began to explain, "This is my tent. Who asked you to stay here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slightly old voice coming from inside.

"Let her in!"

Some familiar voices made Gu Jingchun's heart beat faster.

She drew aside the curtain and went in.

As soon as I turned around the screen at the door, I saw Xiaoman standing on the side with a look of guilt on his face.

Looking at the bed again, Gu Jinxi was sitting there lazily eating snacks.

And in front of her was the empress dowager with a majestic look on her face.

When Gu Jinxi saw Gu Jingchun come in, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Mother, are you back?"

As he spoke, he didn't even bother to eat. He wanted to put the snacks on the tray, but found that the tray was missing.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother took the snack from Gu Jinxi's hand, looked at him with a loving face, and whispered some instructions.

"Go ahead."

Gu Jinxi nodded obediently, then climbed down from the bed and threw herself into Gu Jingchun's arms with her short legs.

"Mother, are you hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun understood that Gu Jinxi was traumatized by the last incident when she entered the palace, and he thought that she would be in danger again, so she hurried over.

She squatted down, so that her eyes were level with Gu Jinxi's, and then she said softly:

"It's okay, Mommy is fine. Did Xier sneak here because you were worried about Mommy?"

"Didn't mother tell you not to go to dangerous places without permission?"

Gu Jinxi shook his head and spoke seriously.

"No," he said, "Xi'er came out openly. When she came in, she even showed the gatekeeper her uncle's jade pendant!"

Gu Jingchun was at a loss for words for a moment.

Gu Jinxi continued to explain.

"Moreover, the Queen Mother also protected Xier. She also brought Xier a lot of delicious snacks and candies."

As he spoke, he took out the candy in his arms and showed it to Gu Jingchun.

Last time, he had almost finished the candy that Shen Hechuan gave him, so this time he could just get a refill.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her guess became even more certain.

Even the snacks he likes to eat are the same. This child is indeed the prince's son and there is no way he can escape.

Gu Jinxi stepped forward and held Gu Jingchun in his arms.

"Don't worry, mother. Xier can protect herself and mother."

When Gu Jingchun heard this, his eyes became hot.

She held Gu Jinxi in her arms and looked at the Queen Mother.

Looking at Xiaoman's expression again, she knew that as smart as the Queen Mother was, she must have guessed Gu Jinxi's identity.

However, thinking of her dangerous situation just now and the terrifying moment in Da Qi before, how could she bear to let Gu Jinxi be in such danger again.

So, she had secretly made up her mind at this moment.

She wants to escape to death!

Right now.

While Shen Hechuan is still dealing with the matter of Prince Rui giving her the aphrodisiac, she has to find a way to leave quickly.

The Queen Mother has been watching how Gu Jinxi and Gu Jingchun get along.

I felt both happy and emotional.

I am happy that Gu Jingchun has raised a good child.

From the time Gu Jinxi woke up until now, his various behaviors have won the Queen Mother's favor, which is enough to show how good Gu Jingchun's words and deeds are in teaching him.

It can be seen that I was not wrong about the person.

However, she never expected that the child that Gu Jingchun brought back from the countryside was actually the prince's child.

God knows how shocked she was when she saw Gu Jinxi's face, which looked like the prince's when he was a child.

Especially the lower half of the face, it is exactly the same.

When Chen Hechuan was a child, he was a little fatter and much cuter than he is now. Maybe it was because he was less fleshy, so his appearance looked different at first glance.

This is also the reason why the prince and others did not notice that Gu Jinxi was similar to the prince.

But the Queen Mother is different. She has watched Shen Hechuan grow up since he was a child. Both the young Shen Hechuan and the current Shen Hechuan are deeply imprinted in her mind.

So, after seeing Gu Jinxi, she immediately confirmed it.

This must be Shen Hechuan's child.

Thinking of the cold stares that Gu Jinxi might have received these days, and the suffering and contempt that Gu Jingchun had endured along the way in order to raise Gu Jinxi, she felt even more distressed.
