However, at this moment, she had to admit that Gu Jingchun was wavering.
Indeed, handsome men who are also good at sweet talk are the easiest to charm.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion when he thought of Shen Hechuan, who had been imprisoned.
Perhaps, before I leave, I could be a little nicer to him?
That seems like a good idea.
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Jingchun returned to his residence.
However, she felt something was wrong as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
It's too quiet.
The servant boy who used to doze off at the door was not there.
The clever Qi Xiaoer didn't come over to greet her.
Most importantly, the location of the gate mechanism.
Things have changed!
Gu Jingchun paused, and immediately withdrew the foot that was about to step out.
Lan Xin, who was behind him, noticed the abnormality immediately and stepped forward to protect Gu Jingchun behind her.
Almost simultaneously, more than a dozen men in black appeared in the courtyard.
Their movements were swift; they immediately slashed towards Gu Jingchun and Lan Xin.
Lan Xin was no pushover either; she immediately protected Gu Jingchun and engaged in a fierce battle with several men in black.
Gu Jingchun, however, would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
She watched as several men in black rushed toward her.
She immediately activated the mechanism on the bracelet, and instantly, several flying needles shot out simultaneously, directly aiming at the hearts of several men in black.
Several men in black landed on the ground.
Meanwhile, Lan Xin had already beaten several people to the ground.
Taking advantage of the break, Lanxin pulled Gu Jingchun and ran quickly towards Gu Jinxi's courtyard.
Lan Xin took the opportunity to fire a signal flare.
However, there was no one in Gu Jinxi's courtyard at this time.
All that remained were messy furniture and clothes scattered on the floor.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager in the palace also received the news immediately.
They all placed people around Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi.
The news spread immediately.
Upon learning that Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi were in danger, the Empress Dowager immediately stood up.
"What?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward. "Quickly, send someone to help me pack up. I'm leaving the palace too."
This is her only great-grandson; absolutely nothing can happen to him.
This news startled Li Mama, who instinctively said, "Your Highness, leaving the palace now would only cause more trouble."
"No, that is my great-grandson. I cannot sit idly by and wait for him to die. I must personally ensure his safety."
Meanwhile, in the prison.
Prince Rui was tired of scolding.
She sat limply on the ground, glaring fiercely at Shen Hechuan.
However, Shen Hechuan did not react at all.
He frowned slightly as he smelled the perfume on the bed. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Tianji rush over in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately got up and stepped forward.
Tianji lowered his voice.
"Miss Gu and the young master have encountered an accident."
After saying that, Shen Hechuan's expression immediately changed.
Without any hesitation, he immediately spoke coldly.
"Open the door, I need to go out."
Tianji immediately turned to look at the jailer.
Looking into Shen Hechuan's eyes, he felt as if every hair on his body stood on end.
Seeing that he had no other choice, he threw the key on the ground and slammed himself against the cell door.
With a soft "bang," the old man knocked himself unconscious before lying down contentedly.
Tianji then picked up the key and opened the cell door.
He glanced at Prince Rui, who had been staring at them.
"Your Highness, may we leave now?"
"If His Majesty finds out..."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he glanced at Prince Rui.
"It's alright, we'll be back as soon as possible."
With that, he turned to leave.
As Prince Rui watched the two figures leave, he quickly shouted, "Hey, what about me? I'm still here!"
With a flick of his toe, Shen Hechuan kicked the key to Prince Rui's door.
Upon seeing this, Prince Rui thought to himself, "At least Shen Hechuan is sensible."
He managed to pick up the key with difficulty, opened the door, and swaggered out.
Although the Empress Dowager and Shen Hechuan's actions were very discreet, they were quickly reported to Consort Hui.
Consort Hui had been in charge of the inner palace for many years and naturally had her own spies. Upon learning this news, she was very pleased.
"They all care about them so much."
"Even the Empress Dowager personally left the palace, which shows that the child must be Shen Hechuan's."
Consort Hui gritted her teeth in anger, her hands clenched into fists.
"In that case, this child absolutely cannot be kept."
Then she spoke again: "Sending more men will inevitably cost two lives."
Outside the city of Tiandu.
Following the special marks left by Xiaoman, Gu Jingchun led his men to this place.
However, once you get here, there are no traces left.
Gu Jingchun looked at the distant woods, and Lanxin behind him immediately said:
“Miss, I have already checked, and there are no signals or traces in the vicinity.”
Gu Jingchun turned his head and looked at the dozens of men following behind him, and then led his men inside.
As soon as I entered, I was confronted by another group of people.
The identities of the two parties were unknown, and they immediately began to fight.
Both sides were filled with urgency and ruthlessness, each aiming to kill the other. As the two sides became increasingly tense, Gu Jingchun noticed that one of the people in the other's hands looked familiar, and immediately shouted.
"stop."
