Chapter 773 Some reverse scales cannot be touched
Qian Zhenyun looked at her with a hint of heartache in his eyes: "I'm worried about you."
Gu Qingchen's heart felt warm, and all his grievances and fatigue were somewhat comforted at this moment.
She looked at Qian Zhenyun and suddenly felt that as long as he was there, she could persevere no matter what difficulties she faced.
"I'm fine." She said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Qian Zhenyun stretched out his hand and gently, as if brushing away dust, tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind.
"I know," he whispered, his voice filled with reassuring strength. "Everything will be alright."
Gu Qingchen looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew he was always there.
"Let's go back." Qian Zhenyun withdrew his hand, and his voice returned to its usual gentleness. "It's getting late, you should rest."
Gu Qingchen nodded and followed him, step by step, towards the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
As night fell, the capital gradually quieted down.
In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Chu Ruohan was looking through the account books under the lamp.
There were footsteps outside the door and Gu Junze walked in.
"Are you back?" Chu Ruohan asked without raising her head.
Gu Junze walked over to her and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea: "Yeah."
"How is Qingchen?" Chu Ruohan put down the account book and looked at him.
"Qian Zhenyun sent her back." Gu Junze said, "She seems to be in a relatively calm mood."
Chu Ruohan frowned slightly: "Where's Lin Jiayou? He also went to the temple fair today."
"He's gone." Gu Junze's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.
Chu Ruohan sighed: "This Lin Jiayou is really haunting me. Qingchen is a kind-hearted kid, I'm afraid I can't defeat him."
"She will grow up." Gu Junze looked at the tea in the cup and said in a low voice, "Some things can only be truly understood by experiencing them personally."
Chu Ruohan didn't say anything else, just picked up the account book and continued to look through it.
She knew that Gu Junze was right. Qingchen would eventually have to face it and grow up on her own.
All they can do is protect her silently.
Qian Zhenyun returned to his yard.
The servant followed behind him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Is there something wrong?" Qian Zhenyun asked.
The servant hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sir, today, Miss Gu and Master Lin were in the teahouse and seemed to have some dispute."
Qian Zhenyun paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at the servant: "Dispute?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes. I saw that Miss Gu looked very unhappy, and then Master Lin left."
A gleam flashed in Qian Zhenyun's eyes. He didn't say anything else, but just waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave.
After the servant left, Qian Zhenyun walked to the window and looked at the night outside.
The corners of his lips curved up in an imperceptible arc.
dispute.
This shows that Gu Qingchen was not completely deceived by Lin Jiayou.
This shows that she is gradually seeing Lin Jiayou's true face.
He knew it was a long battle, but he was confident he would win.
And Gu Qingchen will also win.
Because he will always be by her side.
No matter what she has to face.
Gu Qingchen returned to his yard, washed up, and lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Everything that happened today kept replaying in his mind: Lin Jiayou's hypocrisy, Chen Yu's nonsense, and Qian Zhenyun's eyes full of concern.
She turned over and looked out the window at the dark night.
She knew that tomorrow would be a new day, and new challenges would be waiting for her.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
She told herself not to be afraid.
She has the love of her parents, the protection of Qian Zhenyun, and friends like Chen Yu who are unreliable but treat her sincerely.
She is not alone.
She will be strong and face everything.
At this time, far away in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, Prince Zhao Chen'an was sitting in the study with a gloomy face.
There was a secret report on the table, which detailed Gu Qingchen's whereabouts at the temple fair today, as well as her interactions with Lin Jiayou and Chen Yu.
"What a Gu Qingchen." Zhao Chen'an sneered, "He actually dared to get entangled with Lin Jiayou in public. He simply trampled on my dignity."
He slammed the table, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Someone come here!" he roared.
The young eunuch outside the door immediately pushed the door open and knelt on the ground: "Your servant is here!"
"Go tell the Empress that I'm not feeling well and can't pay my respects to her today." There was an imperceptible hint of viciousness in Zhao Chen'an's voice.
The young eunuch responded and quickly retreated.
Zhao Chenan looked at the secret report on the table, a bloodthirsty smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
Gu Qingchen, do you think you can get rid of loneliness like this?
I will let you know the consequences of betraying me!
At the same time, in the Queen's bedroom, the Queen was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the palace maid was taking off the pearls and jade on her head.
The nanny stood aside, reporting something in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message saying that he is not feeling well and cannot come to pay his respects to you today."
The Queen paused for a moment, she looked at the nanny in the mirror, a meaningful glint in her eyes.
"Feeling unwell?" she repeated softly, a sneer on her lips. "It seems he can't wait any longer."
The nanny didn't say anything, but just stood aside respectfully.
The Queen waved her hand and signaled the palace maids to leave.
She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night sky outside.
"Gu Qingchen, ah Gu Qingchen, do you think that you can escape my control just by making such a scene?"
Her voice was soft, yet held a chilling authority.
"I have said that you can only be An'er's Crown Princess."
"No one can change my decision."
There was a cold light in her eyes.
A silent game is quietly unfolding in the capital.
Gu Qingchen, Qian Zhenyun, Lin Jiayou, Prince, and Queen.
Everyone was caught in this vortex and had no choice.
But no one can really predict the direction of the future...
