Chapter 137 Gu Jingchu, No Ifs
Gu Huailing took off his outer robe, got on the bed and held Chen Yuan in his arms.
He placed his hand on Shen Yuan's belly and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, we are pregnant."
Chen Yuan glanced at Gu Huailing's elegant and refined profile and asked, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
"All good."
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. As long as the child is born to A Yuan, he likes them all.
But Shen Yuan said, "I want a boy, so that I can see what the adults looked like when they were little."
As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and pulled Gu Huailing out of bed and walked towards the study.
Chen Yuan handed Gu Huailing a pen and paper. "Could you please come up with a name for the child?"
For the first time, the Prime Minister, who was full of knowledge and learning, had a blank mind.
The fact that Chen Yuan was pregnant dispelled the gloom that had shrouded the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Even Gu Yao seemed to be energized every day.
The child was less than a month old, but she could already direct Shen Zhao to make a small wooden horse and a small cradle.
Today is the day that Gu Jingchu and Ye Xingzhang return to Beijing, and it is time to settle the matter of the disaster in Yizhou.
Liu Qingqing and Zhinu have returned early. Liu Qingqing has made an appointment with Chen Yuan to go to the teahouse today.
As soon as she saw Chen Yuan, Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up.
"Sister, I finally see you. I was so worried about you."
As the little girl spoke, her eyes became red.
“Unfair!”
"Your humble servant, Ma Youcai, is suing the Prime Minister for disregarding the disaster situation and abandoning his post. He is also embezzling disaster relief funds and is completely disregarding human life!"
A heart-wrenching howl rang out.
Shen Yuan opened the window and his expression instantly turned cold!
It’s Ma Youcai, the prefect of Yizhou!
Why did he suddenly appear here?
Shen Yuan went downstairs immediately, and Liu Qingqing followed her, lifting her skirt.
Ma Youcai was dressed in tattered clothes, and his originally shiny curtains were now drooping, looking full of fear.
Shen Yuan stood in the crowd and looked at him.
Ma Youcai should have also seen Chen Yuan, and his eyes were a little evasive.
This is not right. I tricked him into taking poison. His life is in my hands and the adults' hands.
Why do you dare to wrongly accuse people so openly?
Is it rare that you already know that the poison is fake?
Chen Yuan withdrew her gaze. She couldn't go up and question him at this moment, otherwise it would confirm Ma Youcai's false accusation.
Chen Yuan's face looked horribly bad. Liu gently supported her and said, "Sister, I will accompany you back to the mansion."
Gu Huailing should still be in the palace at this time.
She said decisively: "I'm going to the palace gate to wait for my lord. Qingqing, you go back first."
Chen Yuan sat in the carriage, waiting from dawn to dusk.
Gu Huailing was not seen coming out of the palace.
"Sister-in-law."
A voice that had not been heard for a long time came from outside the carriage.
Chen Yuan lifted the car curtain, and Gu Jingchu looked at her with complicated eyes.
"It's getting late, sister-in-law should go back home first."
His expression had become much more natural, but deep in his eyes he still suppressed the pain of unrequited love.
A trace of panic flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, "Master?"
"Sister-in-law, go back home first. Big brother won't be back for a while."
Chen Yuan's heart was in turmoil. "What do you mean I can't come back for a while?"
The carriage turned around and Gu Jingchu followed it. "Today, Ma Youcai sued my elder brother with solid evidence. The emperor was furious and had him thrown into the Heavenly Prison."
Chen Yuan's eyes went dark, and he knocked the teacup off the table in a panic.
There was a muffled thud, and Gu Jingchu looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Chen Yuan turned to look at Gu Jingchu with an anxious look on his face, "There must be something wrong here. Gu Jingchu, can you take me to the Heavenly Prison? I want to see the master."
Her eyes were too eager, but Gu Jingchu shook his head, "No, this matter is too difficult. The Fourth Prince is keeping a close eye on us. We can't make any moves for the time being."
"But you are wronged, my Lord."
Gu Jingchu looked at her and said, "We all know that Big Brother is innocent. What about the Emperor?"
When their eyes met, Chen Yuan trembled a little.
Yes, everyone knows that you are innocent, and the emperor must know it.
This matter is a game between the Fourth Prince and the adults.
It is obvious that the emperor chose the fourth prince and abandoned you.
Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan's expression and knew that she understood.
She has always been smart and quick to understand things.
The carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion unknowingly.
Gu Jingchu selfishly wanted this journey to be longer.
Chen Yuan got off the carriage with a terribly pale face.
Gu Jingchu didn't say anything, and the two of them stood there quietly in silence.
"If you have any questions these days, you can come to the Marquis' Mansion to find me."
Finally, Gu Jingchu spoke first.
He knew from the look on Shen Yuan's face that she wanted to refuse.
He lowered his eyes, with endless darkness and sorrow in them. "I know that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. Yuan'er, don't think so badly of me."
"My lord, he shouldn't have gotten into trouble so early."
Gu Jingchu frowned and said truthfully, "There are many variables in this life. Big brother has been the Prime Minister for so many years, we should all trust him."
Suddenly, his tone paused, "Maybe there is a turning point."
A hint of suspicion rose in Chen Yuan's eyes. "What's the turning point?"
Gu Jingchu's eyes became deep, "Find the prince."
"Prince?"
Gu Jingchu nodded. "The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, born to the Queen, disappeared in a fire. No one knows where he went. The Fourth Prince, the crown prince, is a world apart from him. As long as the Crown Prince can be found, the Emperor will never again protect the Fourth Prince. Now, because there is no one to carry on the throne, the Emperor can only protect the Fourth Prince."
"Has the prince of the previous life been found?"
Gu Jingchu shook his head.
The hope in Chen Yuan's eyes dimmed a little bit. Although the summer wind was not cold, Chen Yuan felt a chill piercing his bones.
"I see. Thank you."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
"It's late at night, take the road under your feet seriously."
Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan's back and still couldn't help but speak.
Chen Yuan turned around and looked at him, "Thank you, Gu Jingchu."
This was the first time she thanked him seriously.
Gu Jingchu's words were obscure and he couldn't help but step forward.
"Yuan'er."
Chen Yuan turned around and met Gu Jingchu's dark eyes.
"Yuan'er, I mean, if, if something really happens to Big Brother this time, are you willing to be with me..."
“No ifs!”
Chen Yuan interrupted him seriously, "Without Gu Jingchu, I believe that the adults will be safe."
She slowly stroked her belly with her hands, her eyes soft and her tone warm, "Besides, he can't bear to leave me, nor our child."
Gu Jingchu was shocked. "You, are pregnant?"
Chen Yuan looked at him with clear eyes and said frankly: "Yes. So I believe in you, sir."
Gu Jingchu forced a smile and said, "Take care of yourself. I will rescue big brother."
After saying this, Gu Jingchu left without looking back.
He will rescue his elder brother. In his previous life, he failed to ensure the safe birth of Yuan'er's child.
He will definitely keep his Yuan'er safe and sound throughout his life.
Even if it costs his life, he will never regret it.
Because this is what he owes Yuan'er, he owes her a lifetime of peace, stability and happiness.
Gu Jingchu walked in the night and suddenly made a certain decision.
Perhaps it was because Emperor Tiansheng's attitude was too clear. For several days, Shen Yuan went to various mansions to inquire about the news, but was turned away.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has never been so deserted.
Gu Yao seemed to have grown up overnight, and she took very good care of Chen Zhao.
She walked into the room carrying a bowl of bird's nest, "Sister-in-law, eat some bird's nest first. You are a twin now, and you must not have any accidents."
