"They were slippery, clearly well-trained, and they escaped quickly."
Moreover, Shen Hechuan always felt that Gu Jingchun was deliberately avoiding the matter.
I simply didn't want to talk to him anymore.
This made him hesitate.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian couldn't help but look at Shen Hechuan.
"You doubt their identities?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"They are very likely from the Great Qi."
"But I want to know, who exactly are those people from Daqi, and what is their purpose in coming to our Dacheng?"
Shen Hechuan frowned slightly.
These people were able to enter Dacheng quietly and leave just as quietly.
This forced him to become wary.
"I have a feeling they will come again."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, his gaze deepened.
The night was pitch black.
The entire sky was shrouded in darkness.
Only the faint light of a crescent moon in the sky brought a glimmer of light to the darkness.
And right there in the night.
A man stood under a high wall, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaped up and jumped over the wall, landing in the courtyard.
But the moment he landed, countless arrows shot at him.
The man was clearly prepared; with a few quick spins, he dodged all the arrows.
When he landed, he successfully avoided the other traps.
But just as he landed on the ground again, waiting for Xiaoman's sword to pierce him, no one came.
This made him suspicious, and he subconsciously looked down.
That one glance was enough for him to discover the clue.
He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, he was suddenly caught in a giant net.
It was firmly hung on the tree.
This time, Shen Hechuan behaved himself.
A prince, a high-ranking official, sneaked into a woman's boudoir at night, only to be hung from a tree.
If this gets out, we'll lose all face.
Shen Hechuan looked resentfully toward the main house.
The lights were on, and there seemed to be faint conversations coming from there.
He held his breath, trying to hear Gu Jingchun's words.
However, all he heard were three cold words.
"Throw it out!"
Moments later, Shen Hechuan was thrown off the wall.
Tianji and Dizhi, who were squatting by the wall and gazing longingly at the sky, were completely stunned when they saw Shen Hechuan being thrown down.
They even forgot to untie Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan stared at Tianji through gritted teeth, his mind filled with only the words Tianji had spoken during the day.
"If you really miss her, you can go find her then."
"At worst, you can tie her up again. She can't escape anyway, so why make Miss Gu defy the imperial decree?"
He's really blinded by greed; he actually believed Tianji's nonsense.
Now, he can't even get into Gu Jingchun's courtyard!
How can we then tie them up and take them back?
The next day, Gu Jingchun opened his eyes and felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
She learned from Xiaoman that Shen Hechuan had left after being thrown out yesterday, which put her mind at ease.
Since she doesn't know where to go now, she might as well stick to her principles for now.
As for what to do in the future, let's just take it one step at a time!
The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge.
There will always be a way out someday.
Just then, Gu Jinxi, who was already dressed, walked in.
He had been confined in the East Palace for many days and felt very stifled. Now that he was back, he pestered Gu Jingchun, wanting to go out for a stroll.
Gu Jingchun happened to have the same idea, so he simply agreed.
After getting dressed, the two went out and headed towards the most bustling street in Tiandu.
However, what she didn't know was that behind her, a furtive figure was watching her closely and slowly approaching her.
The figure was about to approach Gu Jingchun.
Just then, a slightly surprised voice came over.
"Miss Gu."
Luo Ziqian stepped forward.
Gu Jingchun looked up in confusion and saw Luo Ziqian wearing a veiled hat. He blinked in amazement.
It's no wonder she was surprised; Luo Ziqian's appearance at that moment was simply too stunning.
He was naturally handsome, with fair skin and exceptionally delicate features. He had a somewhat masculine appearance, yet he showed no signs of femininity.
In addition, he usually likes to wear brightly colored clothes, which are very eye-catching.
At this moment, he put on a red veil that reached just to his chin, covering his entire face with red gauze, revealing only his delicate jawline and his constantly swaying Adam's apple.
Half-concealed and half-revealed, she exuded charm, making Gu Jingchun unconsciously glance at her a few more times.
"Why...why are you dressed like this?"
Gu Jingchun looked puzzled, but his fingers, which were hanging to one side, twitched unconsciously twice.
These two slight movements were enough to make Shen Hechuan, who was hiding in the shadows, spit fire in his eyes.
Others might not know, but Shen Hechuan knew that Gu Jingchun's gesture indicated interest.
Whenever she becomes interested in something, she unconsciously rubs a few fingers together.
This was a small action that Shen Hechuan had accidentally discovered before.
After all, when Gu Jingchun first met him, she also rubbed her fingers together like this, then tilted her head back, opened her shimmering eyes, and stared at him intently.
Now, the person Gu Jingchun was looking at had become Luo Ziqian.
