Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan slowly repeated the sentence.
"A spy from the Great Qi."
He remembered that when the spy escaped, he first met Gu Jinxi, and it was at that time that the Yong'an Marquis's mansion sent out a signal, which affected his judgment.
At that time, he was suspicious of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
However, with the appearance of Gu Jingchun, he also dispelled his doubts about her.
And now.
He recalled Gu Jingchun's words and couldn't help but say:
"Go and check if there is any connection between Tianjing Trading Company and Daqi."
"Furthermore, spread the word that Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian were kidnapped by the people of Daqi at a critical moment, which is how they were saved."
Tianji nodded in agreement.
Shen Hechuan felt uneasy thinking about what the mysterious man had said to Gu Jingchun that day.
Because he was far away at the time, he only heard snippets of what the other person said and did not know the whole story.
But judging from their skills, those people were no ordinary individuals.
So why did they take Gu Jingchun away?
Could it be that Gu Jingchun really has some connection with Daqi?
Shen Hechuan originally wanted to ask Gu Jingchun.
However, Gu Jingchun's words angered him so much that he completely forgot about the matter.
Now that the two had parted on bad terms, Shen Hechuan knew that asking her again wouldn't change anything, so he simply returned to his study.
He walked steadily and appeared calm on the surface, but Tianji, who knew his temper well, knew that Shen Hechuan's temper was at its worst at this moment.
At this time, he was absolutely not to be provoked, so he carefully guarded the outside of the study and would not step in unless summoned by Shen Hechuan.
After arriving at the study, Shen Hechuan sat down at his desk and began practicing calligraphy continuously.
The wound on his hand was not bandaged or treated, and blood was still dripping from it.
Falling onto the pristine white paper, they resemble blooming red plum blossoms.
But he seemed oblivious, continuing to write with his pen.
He has been the crown prince since he can remember.
From being highly anticipated as a child to gradually being targeted, disliked, and disapproved of by his father, he has always walked this path alone.
His father disliked him, and his mother disliked him.
Only his grandmother loved him.
But she was getting old and was feared by her father, so she couldn't really protect him much.
His teacher had taught him since childhood that as a prince, he should set an example.
She was surrounded by countless tutors and teachers responsible for each subject.
They all told him what the prince should do.
But no one told him what he should do.
But deep down he is actually a despicable person.
Whenever he loses control of his emotions, he closes the door and practices calligraphy to calm himself down.
That is why he has such beautiful handwriting that people praise him for.
It is vigorous and powerful, upright yet retains its integrity.
However, no one knew that his favorite style of writing was cursive script.
Unrestrained, unconventional, crazy, and free to be yourself.
However, he could not, because he was the crown prince.
A prince who was all alone, not expected by his mother, and not liked by his father.
Therefore, he has always suppressed himself, and the side that everyone sees is never the real him.
The time he spent with Gu Jingchun was the only time he was truly himself.
That was also the happiest and most blissful time for him.
Therefore, he could never forget Gu Jingchun, and because of this, he shut himself off.
But now, Gu Jingchun is telling him that all of this is fake, which he simply cannot accept.
Although he didn't show it at all, he couldn't fool himself.
Therefore, he kept telling himself to stay calm and not fall into Gu Jingchun's trap.
She must have done this on purpose.
After her escape attempt failed, she didn't want Xier to enter the palace, so she deliberately used this method to provoke him and make him despise her.
If he were to get angry and punish her, banishing her from the East Palace, then he would truly be being led by the nose by Gu Jingchun.
So he kept holding back, constantly telling himself to stay calm.
However, Gu Jingchun's words kept replaying in his mind.
She never liked him.
She never wanted to marry him.
This made him unable to contain his emotions any longer, and the words he wrote became increasingly unrestrained and wild.
Until, only one character remained in his writing.
die!
Looking at the character, he couldn't help himself and threw the brush back into the air.
But that still didn't appease him. He didn't feel much better until he threw everything down.
Looking at the words "death" scattered all over the ground, he felt a surge of emotions welling up inside him.
Gu Jingchun.
You're not allowed to leave this place!
Even if it means being tied up, I will tie you to my side.
From that day on, Gu Jingchun was imprisoned by Shen Hechuan.
Gu Jingchun was locked in the room, extremely anxious.
She wanted to know about Xi'er, but in the past few days, apart from the maid who delivered vegetables, she hadn't seen Shen Hechuan at all.
This made her even more anxious.
Based on her understanding of Shen Hechuan, she should be angrily humiliating her and then kicking her out, so why is she reacting like this now?
Did she say something too harsh one day?
Gu Jingchun was completely baffled.
Meanwhile, in Shen Hechuan's study, Tianji was reporting the situation of the past few days to Shen Hechuan.
"Your Highness, the news has been spread as you instructed."
"Now everyone in Tiandu City knows that Miss Gu and Luo Ziqian were taken away through a secret passage by spies from Daqi that day."
The fire and explosion that day were set by spies from the Great Qi, their aim being to steal the recipe for the "Great Firecracker" from my Great Cheng.
As Tianji spoke, he added another sentence.
"Now, the people also know that this giant firecracker was invented by Young Master Luo."
Of course, in order to convince the people of this claim, Shen Hechuan had to release the news that Luo Ziqian was one of his men in advance.
Now, in the mouths of the people.
Luo Ziqian is an unsung hero who grew up with Shen Hechuan and, in order to support Shen Hechuan's position as crown prince, was willing to ruin his own reputation and secretly plot for Shen Hechuan.
Even after developing the powerful "big firecracker," he didn't take credit and contentedly remained a homosexual with a bad reputation, despised by others.
With such a broad mind and ambition, one is destined for great things in the future.
Unfortunately, his invention of the "big firecracker" was discovered by the people of Daqi.
In order to force Luo Ziqian to hand over the formula, the other party did not hesitate to use his fiancée Gu Jingchun as a threat.
Coincidentally, on that day, Gu Jingchun was taken hostage by Prince Rui. The people of Daqi took advantage of the situation and wanted to take Gu Jingchun away in order to lure Luo Ziqian out.
Luo Ziqian arrived just in time to try to save Gu Jingchun, but he was still taken away from the tunnel by the people of Daqi.
