Chapter 18: The Substitute Daughter Relies on Childbirth to Get to the Top and Abuse the Scumbag 16



"Oh?" Gu Jingyan seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Dehai understood and quickly asked, "Which palace did you go to?"

Nanny Li sent someone to bring a booklet over to check it out, and then gave another report.

After learning about Li Shushu's whereabouts, Gu Jingyan didn't care about anything else and turned around and went to the palace marked on the booklet. Li Dehai left a few people there to wait for news, in case they didn't meet Miss Li, so that they could bring her back to the Yangxin Palace.

Afterwards, he trotted forward to chase the Emperor

Li Shushu will be visiting several palaces in succession this time, and the specific order in which she will deliver the things is unknown.

Gu Jingyan and others could only follow common sense and chase after the palaces one by one according to their geographical locations.

But I just didn't touch it.

Soon, it was dark. On that summer night, thunder rumbled and a rainstorm was about to begin.

Li Dehai hadn't had dinner yet. He had been jogging with the Emperor all the way and was already starving.

He advised carefully, "Your Majesty, how about we go back to the Yangxin Palace for dinner first? Your health is more important. Perhaps Miss Li has already gone back after delivering the things?"

I have also arranged for someone to wait at the Xinzheku. Once I see Miss Li, I will take her to the Yangxin Palace to report."

Gu Jingyan paused when he heard this: That’s right, maybe they didn’t catch up with the person after following him, and the person was already waiting for him in the Yangxin Palace?

She would always return to Xinzheku after finishing her work, and sooner or later someone would send her to Yangxin Palace.

Just as he was about to give up, he went back to the Yangxin Palace with Li Dehai.

After walking back a few steps, he suddenly thought of Shuyu Palace? Could she have gone to Shuyu Palace?

Yes, she finally got the chance to come out, maybe she will go to Shuyu Palace to take a look?

Instantly, he was delighted, feeling that he had found the correct answer. He turned around and walked quickly towards Shuyu Palace.

"Your Majesty, please slow down." Li Dehai was behind him and was confused for a moment. He had to jog and catch up with him, shaking his head.

It was raining heavily, but fortunately Li Dehai had the habit of carrying an umbrella with him.

He opened his big umbrella, walked to Gu Jingyan's side, and followed him as he strode towards the Shuyu Palace...

Sure enough, at the gate of Shuyu Palace, Gu Jingyan saw a familiar figure kneeling there.

The heavy rain had already soaked her clothes, and the shoddy palace maid's uniform clung to her delicate figure. At this moment, she was like a flower bud in a storm, being tossed by the wind and rain and about to fall...

Aunt Liu, who was standing next to her, was holding an umbrella and nagging her, lecturing her on something. Occasionally, she would kick the man with her toes...

Gu Jingyan felt his heart tremble and anger surged within him. He quickened his pace, took two steps at a time and walked to the front of the figure, then kicked Matron Liu hard.

He kicked her back a few feet, and her forehead hit the palace wall with a dull thud. Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, stroking her forehead and saying, "Ouch!"

"How dare you! Drag this old hag down and chop her to pieces!" Gu Jingyan roared in a low voice.

"Yes." The servants received the order and two people came over immediately and pulled Madam Liu away.

When Madam Liu saw that it was the Emperor, she was terrified. She didn't care that the blood was pouring from her forehead. She knelt down with a plop, touched her head to the ground, kowtowed, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me, I will never dare to do that again..."

Seeing that His Majesty was ignoring her, Nanny Liu turned around and shouted towards the Shuyu Palace: "Help, my lady, help!"

Unfortunately, the palace gates were heavy and it was raining heavily, so there was no response from inside the Shuyu Palace.

Gu Jingyan was too lazy to look at the ugly face of the old woman. He just stared at the trembling person in front of him, and felt a surge of pity in his heart.

He really wanted to rush over and hug her.

But the emperor's cultivation and dignity made him calm down at this time.

He took the umbrella from Li Defu's hand, shielded the person from the heavy rain, and looked down at her condescendingly.

The person in front of me still had his head buried low, perhaps because he was afraid, or perhaps because he was hit by the heavy rain. He was cold and shivering, but his back was always straight.

"Lady Li?" Gu Jingyan tried to ask in a calm voice.

The person probably couldn't react, and after a pause, he replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant is not Lady Li..."

Gu Jingyan's heart trembled again, and he became more certain that the person in front of him was the one he had been looking for.

It was simply because he had heard that unique soft voice countless times in his bedroom, and he had been obsessed with it.

He cleared his throat and continued to pretend to be deep: "Oh? Then tell me, who are you?"

Li Shushu straightened her back again, hesitated for a moment, then prostrated herself on the ground, "Your servant, I am Xinzheku Li Shushu."

"Li Shushu?" Gu Jingyan was delighted to finally hear the answer from her own mouth. Although he had seen it in the files before and had guessed about it, the feeling was completely different now that the real person was in front of him.

"Look up." He suppressed his inner excitement.

Li Shushu seemed not to hear, only his shoulders trembled slightly.

"I said, raise your head." He lowered his voice, as if afraid of scaring her, but there was still an innate majesty in his voice.

Li Shushu pondered this silently for a while. This was an opportunity she had finally won, and she couldn't let it go easily...

She found an angle that she thought looked best, with the most pitiful expression on her face, mist in her eyes, and slowly raised her head, lifting her fluttering eyes and looking at Gu Jingyan...

Although I had imagined it countless times in my mind, when I saw that beautiful jade-like face and those misty eyes like a deer...

That once tender cherry mouth, now perhaps due to weakness, although a little pale, still makes people want to pick it...

Gu Jingyan couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and something in his heart began to beat wildly again...

He stared at her blankly, forgetting his next move.

Li Shushu felt that this might be the right time.

She suddenly closed her eyes, tilted her body, and fainted on the ground beside her...

"Shu'er..." Gu Jingyan's heart ached. Without saying a word, he threw away his umbrella, quickly took off his coat, covered Li Shushu with it, leaned over and picked her up horizontally, and strode towards the Yangxin Palace. "Call the imperial physician, quickly, call the imperial physician."

"Yes." Li Dehai was frightened. The Emperor really didn't care about his own health.

He quickly picked up the umbrella on the ground and trotted beside Gu Jingyan: "Your Majesty, the Yangxin Palace is far from the Shuyu Palace. Do you want the servants to help you..."

"No need!" He refused without thinking. Perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the person in his arms, he took more steady steps.

The person in his arms was weak and boneless. The emperor usually had a cold and hard heart, but at this moment, his heart softened completely and his pity was even stronger.
