Thinking of this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing Gu Jingchun waiting at the door, she couldn't help but glance at her again.
Just now, he thought that Gu Jingchun had seduced the Crown Prince, distracting him and thus damaging his reputation.
However, in retrospect, Gu Jingchun is clearly a "meritorious official".
A key contributor to Dacheng's future.
With this child, and such a clever one at that, the position of crown prince is now secure.
Even if Prince Rui had three days and six arms, he wouldn't be able to shake Shen Hechuan's position.
Mr. Wang stepped forward, and Gu Jingchun bowed to him.
He then nodded to Gu Jingchun and said, "I am ignorant and almost missed a good student. Please forgive me, young lady."
Gu Jingchun nodded and quickly said, "It is Jinxi's good fortune to receive Mr. Wang's guidance."
As Gu Jingchun said this, he couldn't help but think more highly of the old man.
He is flexible and adaptable, and he can recognize his mistakes and apologize to her for them, which shows his magnanimity and ambition.
"You flatter me, young lady. I am ashamed that I have almost been influenced by those rumors at this age. It is my fault."
From this day forward, I will certainly teach this child well.
After saying that, he gave Gu Jingchun one last deep look before turning and leaving.
Having just received this incredibly good news, he was bound to return home to celebrate properly.
It is said that after Consort Hui's assassination attempt on Gu Jinxi failed that day, she went completely mad.
She hadn't expected that despite sending so many people, none of them would kill the child.
Shen Hechuan even brought the child to the palace.
This is clearly a provocation!
However, she could do nothing about it and could only watch helplessly as Shen Hechuan busied himself with various tasks, even finding a tutor for the child.
This made Consort Hui even more vigilant.
But then she thought of Prince Rui, and Consort Hui sighed.
After that day, Shen Hechuan was released from prison by Emperor Rongcheng, but Prince Rui was imprisoned again because of his escape.
Moreover, the things she had originally prepared for Prince Rui were all discovered by Emperor Rongcheng and taken out by him.
Therefore, Prince Rui's life at this moment can be described as miserable.
He sat in his cell, stomped on a rat, and his dirty face was instantly filled with hatred.
"Shen Hechuan, you just wait. When I get out of here, I'll make you pay."
Gu Jingchun's life remained unchanged after arriving at the Eastern Palace.
She thought Shen Hechuan would pester her like before, but several days have passed since she moved in, and Shen Hechuan seems to be doing the same thing as before, not even bothering her at night.
This made Gu Jingchun feel slightly uncomfortable, so much so that he spoke a few more words to the servant at the door during the day.
Only then did I learn that Shen Hechuan had probably been too busy lately, leaving in the morning and not returning until late at night.
Gu Jingchun understood and didn't take it to heart anymore.
However, what she didn't know was that the moment she finished chatting with the servant, their entire conversation reached Shen Hechuan's ears.
"Your Highness, you see, Miss Gu is clearly worried about you. Tell me, am I right?"
"Just do as I say and ignore Miss Gu for now. If you can make Miss Gu misunderstand, she will realize her own feelings and come to you on her own initiative."
Shen Hechuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Why should I let her misunderstand? She'll be hurt if she does."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he glared at Tianji.
"I would never let her be sad."
Tianji nodded quickly.
"Then Your Highness, please refrain from contacting Miss Gu for now, and wait for her to come and find you."
Shen Hechuan looked at Tianji with some suspicion, but finally nodded.
God knows how much self-control he used these past few days to resist going to see her.
Hopefully, the final result won't disappoint him.
At this moment, someone outside reported that Situ Mingji was requesting an audience.
Shen Hechuan had nothing to talk about with her, so he immediately waved his hand, preparing to let her leave.
But the servant continued, "Miss Situ said that if you don't see her, she will come again tomorrow."
In fact, Situ Mingji had come every day for the past few days, but he still hadn't found Shen Hechuan.
Since Shen Hechuan didn't go out today, she naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan decided to make things clear at once and let the person in.
Today, Situ Mingji wore a cream-yellow long dress and had her hair styled in a bun. She looked gentle and radiant. Standing next to her maid Mingyue, she was exceptionally charming and lovely, yet dignified.
Gu Jingchun saw her nod to Tianji, and then slowly entered Shen Hechuan's study.
She paused, glancing at him again.
But she only glanced at it before turning her gaze away and quickly returning to her own courtyard.
Gu Jingchun's courtyard is very large, the largest courtyard besides Shen Hechuan's main courtyard, and should logically be the residence of the Crown Princess.
She had refused when Shen Hechuan asked her to stay here.
However, it was no use. Shen Hechuan insisted on letting her stay here, and in addition to Lanxin, he also prepared several palace maids to serve her.
However, Gu Jingchun infiltrated Consort Hui's people again, so only two palace maids were left behind, and the rest were sent away.
These two palace maids were none other than the two who had been drugged by Gu Jingchun earlier.
They were now serving Gu Jingchun with extreme caution, and immediately bowed when they saw her enter.
Gu Jingchun nodded and let them leave.
She poured herself a cup of tea, but found it somewhat bitter.
She looked at the bland tea in her cup and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
She discovered that since meeting Shen Hechuan again, her heart had become increasingly out of her control.
He forcefully entered her life, completely disrupting its rhythm.
My heart rose and fell with his.
Especially after seeing Situ Mingji come to the Eastern Palace, he became somewhat absent-minded.
Although Situ Mingji's marriage has not been officially settled yet, people outside are saying that the two will definitely get married.
Gu Jingchun was unaware of the inside story, and Shen Hechuan offered no explanation.
Moreover, it seems that Situ Mingji has been coming to see him every day for the past few days.
Gu Jingchun disliked the feeling of being led by others, not even by his own heart.
So, she quickly composed herself, reopened the door, and went out.
The palace was far more dangerous and complex than she had imagined.
What she needs to do now is to pull herself together, plan everything carefully, and not let these thoughts cloud her judgment.
At this moment, Shen Hechuan sat quietly in front of his desk, while Situ Mingji stood quietly in front of him.
