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 83: Meeting in Secret
But Gu Jingchun made up his mind.
"Just think of it as a big gift to Shen Hechuan before leaving. I hope this can make him feel less heartbroken."
However, she did not have much hope for Shen Hechuan.
Perhaps, Shen Hechuan was sad after he found out that she had passed away.
However, they will surely be replaced by newcomers soon.
Men, that's always been the case.
Love the new and dislike the old, love but cannot get it.
What's more, this is especially true for someone like Chen Hechuan, who is destined to have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines in the future.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Jingchun decided to leave.
At this time, in King Rui's tent.
He was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't it an aphrodisiac?"
"Why did that guy fall into a coma?"
His subordinate Qingfeng also didn't know the reason.
The area around Shen Hechuan was like an iron barrel, and he didn't dare to get close to him easily for fear of alerting the enemy.
Now I can only kneel on the ground and try to explain.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness's body is different from that of ordinary people and has a different reaction to that medicine?"
Upon seeing this, Prince Rui gritted his teeth in anger.
"You better use your brain!"
The breeze was silent, and there was a wave of confusion.
King Rui sighed helplessly and could only helplessly explain to his foolish subordinate.
"We used an aphrodisiac, and as a result, we also exposed a hidden agent we had been keeping for many years.
But, besides the news that the prince was unconscious, has there been any news that he had sex with a woman?"
Qingfeng immediately shook his head when he heard this.
"Indeed, no."
As he spoke, he looked up with sudden realization.
"Could it be that the prince is unconscious because he hasn't had intercourse with a woman?"
"And that so-called poisoning rumor, was it something he deliberately released to cover up the truth?"
King Rui nodded.
"Now, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Either he was truly unconscious, or he was trying to protect that woman."
He has a headache.
"The most urgent thing now is to find out where the woman from the countryside in the Gu family has gone."
Qingfeng said, "I have already asked Qinglian. She confirmed that Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan entered the same tent, and both of them have been given Chinese medicine."
"So, tell me now, where did Gu Jingchun go?"
As Prince Rui was speaking, a servant rushed in hurriedly.
"Your Highness, a woman suddenly came outside and wants to give this to you."
As the servant spoke, he presented a letter.
Prince Rui opened the letter and was surprised for a moment.
There was only a simple line of words written on it.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, I have something that can completely overthrow His Highness the Crown Prince. Please come over and discuss this with me.
Gu Jingchun."
"Gu Jingchun?"
Prince Rui chuckled.
"I was looking for her, and she actually came to my door in person. In that case, I will go and meet her in person this time."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng immediately advised, "Your Highness, this is too suspicious. We cannot take it lightly."
"No problem."
Prince Rui shook his head.
"She's just a woman from the countryside. What kind of trouble can she possibly cause?"
"Take a few people and follow me."
Soon, King Rui appeared at the entrance of Mount Li with his men.
Gu Jingchun had been standing beside the carriage waiting for a long time.
Gu Jingchun saw Prince Rui, took a few steps forward, and saluted with a smile.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Prince Rui snorted coldly, looked at Gu Jingchun carefully from bottom to top, and then chuckled.
"She is indeed good-looking. No wonder she is favored by the prince."
Gu Jingchun suppressed his disgust towards Prince Rui and said that he had evidence to bring down Shen Hechuan, but he needed to go to Tiandu City to get it, and invited Prince Rui to go with him.
Prince Rui was originally skeptical, but when he saw that Gu Jingchun only brought a child and two maids.
Thinking they couldn't cause any trouble, he simply snorted coldly and got into the carriage first.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun chuckled secretly and got into the carriage with Lan Xin.
Xiaoman took Gu Jinxi into another carriage.
Outside the carriage were all King Rui's guards and subordinates.
Dozens of people gathered together and surrounded the two carriages, marching down Mount Li in a mighty procession.
And in the carriage.
A sword was placed on Gu Jingchun's neck.
"Tell me, why did you go to so much trouble to trick me out?
Lan Xin subconsciously wanted to resist, but was secretly held down by Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun chuckled when he heard this.
She calmly placed her hand on the gleaming sword, slowly pushing it away from her neck, and then continued:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although this is our first meeting, our goals are the same."
Prince Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Gu Jingchun continued, “At the beginning, Chen Hechuan said that he would treat me wholeheartedly and promised to marry me, but I didn’t expect that he would abandon me in the end because of my background.
And now, I have just found my biological parents, the Marquis of Yong'an, and he has come up to me again, wanting to rekindle our past relationship."
She said this with a chuckle.
"It's a pity that I already hate him enough now."
“He thought that as long as he took me into the Eastern Palace, he could gain the support of my father, the Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion.
But now I just want him to die."
There was obvious hatred in her eyes, which made Prince Rui very interested.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, do you know that just now, Shen Hechuan despised the fact that I was married before and would rather have sex with a palace maid than touch me."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and her fists clenched tightly.
He looked like someone whose heart was broken by his beloved.
"Since he despises me so much, I will destroy him."
Prince Rui smiled smugly upon seeing this.
He said that in this world, only women and villains are difficult to raise.
If you are not careful, it will be ruined in the hands of a woman.
Therefore, when it comes to women, he has always been physically interested in them rather than emotionally, and he is determined not to give them hope.
He waved the folding fan in his hand and asked Gu Jingchun with interest.
"So, what is the evidence you have that can destroy him?"
Gu Jingchun kept the secret after hearing this.
"This... Your Highness will know in a moment."
"However, Your Highness, please consider this evidence and ensure the safety of my son and me in the future."
King Rui nodded.
"It's natural."
He nodded with a smile.
However, after getting the things, if they accidentally encounter any accidents, they can't blame him.
And at this time Mount Li.
There was a commotion because of the prince's poisoning.
Emperor Rongcheng was furious when he heard this and immediately ordered people to investigate the matter.
But, just raise it high and put it down gently.
After learning that Chen Hechuan's life was not in danger, he didn't take it to heart.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui said something in a reproachful tone.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't let it all be pinned on our Prince Rui."
