Now, seeing Gu Yunjin drinking ginseng soup and lying weakly on the soft couch, what else could she not understand?
He immediately guessed what had happened to her, which is why he spoke to test her.
When Gu Yunjin heard this, she thought that Gu Jingchun had heard some rumors, and her face immediately changed.
What nonsense are you spouting?
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"Doesn't the Third Prince's Consort know whether I'm talking nonsense or not?"
"You must still be in a lot of pain right now; being whipped is no fun!"
These words made Gu Yunjin stand up immediately.
But this aggravated her wound, causing a sudden pain that made her face twitch uncontrollably.
But she couldn't care less at that moment; she just stared straight at Gu Jingchun, her eyes full of vigilance.
Gu Jingchun, however, smiled faintly as he looked at her.
"If you hit me today, within half a day, the news of your being whipped on your wedding night will spread to every corner of the capital."
"I'm sure you wouldn't want to become a laughing stock so soon after becoming the Third Prince's consort."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin's expression showed a moment of panic.
Apart from the maids and nannies serving her, no one else knew what the Third Prince had done to her.
How did Gu Jingchun find out?
Did she plant a spy next to her?
This very question made Gu Yunjin somewhat hesitant to act rashly.
She looked at Gu Jingchun, suddenly smiled, and then bent down to help him up herself.
"Sister, what makes you say that?"
After she finished speaking, she took a step back and leaned against the soft couch to make herself feel more comfortable.
"It seems that you've learned quite a bit while you were in the palace."
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
Gu Yunjin's words were clearly a test.
After all, at this time, Gu Yunjin thought that marrying the Third Prince was the first step in her rise to a higher status, and she never expected that the Third Prince would have such a cruel and tyrannical side.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot let anyone know how miserable her life is now.
Perhaps only in this way could she feel a little more at ease.
So now, faced with Gu Jingchun's threat, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"I don't know much, except that I happen to know a little about my sister."
These words made Gu Yunjin's face twitch. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Jingchun knew too much, she probably would have started a fight by now.
But unfortunately, she can't hit him now, so she can only force a smile.
Seeing her like this, Gu Jingchun felt much better. He made a few sarcastic remarks to her, and seeing her face grow increasingly ugly, he got up with satisfaction and returned to his own courtyard.
After she left, Gu Yunjin could no longer hold back and threw everything she was holding onto the ground.
"Gu Jingchun!"
She shouted angrily.
These three short words were filled with intense hatred.
"Everything I'm suffering now is because of you."
"Just you wait, soon I will taste the pain I have endured."
Originally, Gu Yunjin did not intend to take action against Gu Jingchun so quickly.
But now that Gu Jingchun knows her secret, he is still threatening her like this.
So she decided to take the initiative and deal with her properly first.
Gu Jingchun returned to his courtyard.
Xiaoman and Lanxin had already cleaned the room inside and out before Gu Jingchun returned.
She lay in bed, closed her eyes, and smelled the familiar scent, finally feeling a little more at ease.
However, considering her current situation, she couldn't calm down.
Her failed attempt to escape death this time has alerted Shen Hechuan, and she will certainly not be able to escape again in the future.
Although the Emperor has now granted us a marriage.
However, judging from Shen Hechuan's reaction today, it's unlikely that she will be able to marry Luo Ziqian smoothly.
Moreover, even if Shen Hechuan agreed, the Empress Dowager would probably not want her only great-grandson to be included in the Luo family's genealogy.
But Gu Jingchun couldn't think of any way to stop it all.
After all, the emperor's command is hard to disobey.
Are we going to expose Gu Jinxi's identity in this way?
If that's the case, Gu Jinxi will likely become the target of public criticism and is destined to face numerous dangers.
Moreover, even if the wedding is put on hold, what will she do next?
Entering the Eastern Palace?
She would never agree to anything.
Moreover, without revealing Gu Jinxi's identity, she simply cannot enter the Eastern Palace under her current status.
However, given Shen Hechuan's personality, he will likely keep her by his side.
Should I become a mistress?
This is something Gu Jingchun would never agree to, no matter what.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, things have reached a dead end.
Moreover, her identity has probably been exposed, and she is afraid that the madman Da Qi will come looking for her.
If that time really comes, it will truly be a scene of carnage.
Unable to come up with a solution, Gu Jingchun simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
As dusk fell, the sunlight slowly sank, and darkness gradually enveloped the courtyard, shrouding it in night.
Shen Hechuan stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the silence, and felt that the entire East Palace was eerily quiet.
Due to his personality, he disliked being served by many people, and he couldn't touch women before, so there weren't many people in the Eastern Palace.
Besides Tianji, Dizhi, and their few subordinates, there were only a few cleaning women and eunuchs.
In order to take care of Gu Jingchun, he specially found several palace maids to come, which attracted many spies from various palaces.
Now, Gu Jingchun has left.
Several palace maids were then sent away by Shen Hechuan to other places in the East Palace.
So much so that now you can hear a pin drop in the entire courtyard.
Apart from the sound of the wind in my ears, there was no other sound.
Shen Hechuan looked at the stone table beside him.
During the day, Gu Jingchun would sit here and gently reprimand Gu Jinxi.
In the center of the courtyard, Gu Jinxi was happily flying a kite.
On one side of the courtyard wall, Gu Jingchun ordered people to make a swing full of flowers.
During the day, Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi would sit there and play from time to time.
All the images and sounds seem to still be ringing in my ears.
But in just one day, they all disappeared.
Even though it had been this quiet before, Shen Hechuan now felt exceptionally lonely.
An unprecedented loneliness enveloped him, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan was still standing at the courtyard gate, Tianji stepped forward and advised him:
"Your Highness, it's getting cold, and you're still injured. You should go to your room and rest!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan turned to look at Tianji.
"Tell me, how about I go and bring her back now?"
Upon hearing this, Tianji felt a chill run down his spine.
I finally managed to coax this guy to let go today, and we haven't even had a night together yet, and he's already thinking of tying him up again.
