Upon hearing this, Prince Rui finally realized what was happening and immediately exclaimed in understanding:
"Mother, your idea is brilliant! We only need to arrange for a few people to kidnap the bride, and then Father will naturally assume that it was the Crown Prince who did it."
Prince Rui was overjoyed.
"Your subject will make the arrangements immediately, and I will make sure that everyone in the capital knows tomorrow that His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to abduct the bride."
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace...
Shen Hechuan had just returned from court when Tianji told him all the news he had gathered that day.
"Today, Miss Gu did not leave the manor, but her maid went out to purchase quite a few things."
Tianji was still somewhat indignant at this point.
"Although I haven't been able to sneak into Miss Gu's courtyard during this time, I've been very familiar with the movements of the other people in the Yong'an Marquis's residence."
The more I looked, the more disheartened I felt. I never expected that Miss Gu was about to get married, yet the Yong'an Marquis's mansion hadn't made any move. They were even using the same clothes that the second young lady wore when she got married.
Even essential items had to be purchased by the maid herself.
My subordinates also heard from the servants who were cleaning that Miss Gu's dowry wasn't much at all!
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan showed no reaction and casually replied:
"They are just some insignificant people. Jingchun won't care, and neither will I. Once Jingchun becomes the Crown Princess, the Yong'an Marquis's fate will be sealed."
As for now, the most urgent matter is Jingchun's marriage. As for the rest, as long as they don't provoke her, it's fine.
If you're foolish enough to offend her, then you should just deal with her directly.
Of course, the main reason was that this marriage was with Luo Ziqian.
If the Yong'an Marquis's mansion dared to treat him this way regarding his marriage, then he would personally go to their door and teach the Yong'an Marquis a lesson in manners.
Upon hearing this, Tianji's heart trembled.
That's the Marquis of Yong'an, how could he just deal with him as he pleases?
After saying all that, Shen Hechuan asked again, "Has everything been arranged?"
The heavens nodded in agreement.
"Everything has been arranged according to your instructions."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Hechuan with some hesitation.
"Your Highness, must you do this?"
"This matter is far too dangerous. If it is exposed, it could be detrimental to you. You should think it over carefully!"
Shen Hechuan, however, did not care at all and spoke with great certainty.
"Don't worry, Huian Palace will definitely not give up this opportunity and will do as we expect. Now, we just need to wait for tomorrow."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on the empty courtyard, and he added, "Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go out for a bit."
Tianji looked at the large stack of memorials that had just been delivered and thought to himself, "Your Highness, is everything alright now?"
But given Shen Hechuan's anxious appearance, it was obvious without even thinking about it.
Shen Hechuan must have gone to find Gu Jingchun again.
For the past few days, whether day or night, Shen Hechuan had been trying to sneak into Gu Jingchun's courtyard to see her, but all his attempts ended in failure.
Gradually, Tianji gained experience.
Each time, it was effortless; all he had to do was quietly squat by the wall, and soon Shen Hechuan would be "thrown" out.
And today, it is certainly the same.
Thinking this through, Tianji found a suitable spot in the corner and sat down.
Of course, to pass the time, he also took out a storybook from his pocket to read.
This storybook was given to him by Gu Jinxi back then.
He would take it out and read it in his spare time.
Once I started reading it, I found it quite interesting, and before I knew it, I was hooked.
Tianji thought to himself that he would go to Gu Jinxi to exchange the book once he finished reading it.
He was engrossed in reading when Shen Hechuan stepped into Gu Jingchun's courtyard once again.
However, it was daytime, and the mechanisms in Gu Jingchun's courtyard were not activated, so Shen Hechuan was not hindered from entering.
However, after taking only a few steps, Xiaoman stopped him.
During this period, Xiaoman has been throwing Shen Hechuan out every night, and she has gone from being trembling with fear at the beginning to being completely unfazed now.
So much so that he no longer shows any respect when he sees Shen Hechuan.
On the contrary, Shen Hechuan subconsciously took a step back when he saw Xiaoman, afraid that she would throw him out again.
However, since it was daytime, Xiaoman didn't dare to go too far, but simply stopped him, saying:
"Your Highness, the young lady does not wish to see you. Please leave."
Shen Hechuan stepped forward and said with an air of self-righteousness, "I want to see her."
Xiaoman choked, wanting to say more, when she heard Gu Jingchun's voice behind her.
"Let him in."
Before Xiaoman could finish speaking, Shen Hechuan rushed in like the wind.
Xiaoman: ……
At this moment, Gu Jingchun was sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing the wedding dress that the Luo family had just sent.
Lanxin was worried that the size wouldn't fit, so she specifically asked Gu Jingchun to try it on first.
The wedding dress was very beautiful, and Lanxin was full of praise after wearing it.
However, this was extremely jarring to Shen Hechuan.
He stood there, both amazed by Gu Jingchun's stunningly beautiful face in her wedding dress and simultaneously wishing he could tear the dress to shreds.
Gu Jingchun slowly stood up, looked at Shen Hechuan, and bowed slowly.
Shen Hechuan frowned, and then heard Gu Jingchun say, "I called His Highness the Crown Prince here today because I have something to say to him."
"I am fortunate to have won Your Highness's favor, which is why we had a brief affair."
It is my great fortune to give birth to Xi'er.
