If this gets out, who knows what people will say about her!
Situ Mingji: Summon the imperial physician?
Just because of this tiny impact?
That can't be right.
Could it be... that His Highness the Crown Prince summoned the imperial physician because he was worried about her safety?
Situ Mingji suppressed the slight excitement in his heart and looked at Shen Hechuan with anticipation.
But she was ultimately disappointed, because after the imperial physician arrived, Shen Hechuan immediately had him examine Gu Jingchun. After confirming that Gu Jingchun was alright, he let him leave.
Situ Mingji waited for a long time in the side hall, only to receive news that the imperial physician had left.
Upon learning this, Situ Mingji immediately went to find Shen Hechuan, but he could not find any trace of him.
Finally, after many twists and turns, she found Shen Hechuan, only to see him give her a cold look.
"What? You hit someone, and I haven't even held you accountable yet. What more do you want?"
Situ Mingji took two steps back in disbelief before realizing that the person Shen Hechuan cared about was actually Gu Jingchun!
Turns out I'm just a joke!
She closed her eyes, letting two lines of clear tears fall instantly.
Situ Mingji, the eldest daughter of a prestigious family, had been pampered and privileged since childhood, a person of high status. Now, she had been humiliated in this way because of a mere female official.
She couldn't bear the thought, so she went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The Empress Dowager had always treated Situ Mingji well, and she had always been happy to see her marry the Crown Prince.
Therefore, after arriving at the Empress Dowager's palace, she tearfully told the Empress Dowager everything that had happened in the Eastern Palace that day.
"This was originally a small matter, and I didn't intend to take it to heart. However, Your Highness the Crown Prince caused me to lose face because of it, and I had no choice but to come here."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately rebuked, "Absurd!"
After saying that, she suddenly remembered that Gu Jingchun was in the East Palace, so she frowned slightly and asked another question.
"That female official is..."
"It is Gu Jingchun, Luo Ziqian's former fiancée."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt a jolt in her heart and could only sigh, "As expected!"
She glanced at Situ Mingji.
Thinking to myself, of all people to bump into, you had to bump into the person Shen Hechuan loves most. No wonder Shen Hechuan showed you no mercy.
After thinking for a moment, she comforted Situ Mingji, saying, "This matter cannot be blamed on the Crown Prince. He must have been worried and anxious at the time. You should be more careful when you walk in the future, otherwise what if you get hurt?"
Situ Mingji was stunned when the Empress Dowager said the same thing, and he even forgot to cry.
She was very curious about what kind of ability Gu Jingchun had that made Shen Hechuan and the Empress Dowager stand on her side.
Thinking of this, Situ Mingji secretly made up his mind.
This time, she was determined to marry Shen Hechuan; she would never allow a mere female official to trample on her.
After Situ Mingji left, the Empress Dowager sighed.
"Hechuan is becoming increasingly unreliable. His actions will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the court officials sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li chimed in, "Miss Gu and the young master have just moved to the East Palace, so it's understandable that the Crown Prince is a bit nervous."
Things will surely get better after the Crown Prince gets married.
The Empress Dowager nodded upon hearing this.
She knew that the Crown Prince's feelings for Gu Jingchun were currently very strong, but these feelings would eventually fade.
Therefore, she never gave up the idea of having Shen Hechuan marry Situ Mingji.
She understood Shen Hechuan's desire to dote on Gu Jingchun exclusively, but as the Crown Prince and the Emperor, he bore the responsibility of having many children and grandchildren, so how could he do as he pleased!
She was also aware of Gu Jingchun's thoughts.
But which woman in the harem could receive such exclusive favor?
Even Emperor Rongcheng and Jiang Xianhao, in the end, didn't they end up like any other emperor and empress?
They appear to be united on the surface, but are actually at odds.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace...
Gu Jingchun sat listlessly on the edge of the bed, while Shen Hechuan, who was tense, sat beside him.
She tried to stand up, but Shen Hechuan stopped her.
"Your leg is injured, you need to rest."
Gu Jingchun looked at his slightly scraped knee and said, "This level of injury doesn't require rest."
"If I say you need to rest, then you need to rest."
Gu Jingchun was too lazy to argue with Shen Hechuan, so he simply lay down.
But then he remembered that he had rushed out because of Situ Mingji's words, and he felt angry again. After thinking for a moment, he turned around, turned his back to him, and resolutely refused to look at Shen Hechuan.
This indifferent demeanor puzzled Shen Hechuan for a time.
He wanted to talk to Gu Jingchun, but Gu Jingchun turned his head away and ignored him.
He became increasingly puzzled, so he asked a question.
"Does your wound hurt a lot?"
"It doesn't hurt?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"happy."
"Are you... in a bad mood?"
"Very good."
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm not ignoring you."
"What...what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing much."
Shen Hechuan was completely speechless.
Finally, while Gu Jingchun was asleep, he went out to inquire about the secrets of heaven.
"Didn't you say that as long as I ignore her, she will come crawling to me?"
"But why is what she told you different?"
Tianji shook his head, somewhat puzzled.
"But that's how it's written in the books I've read."
"When a woman sees a man interacting with other women, she will get jealous and angry, and then take the initiative to come and find the man."
Tianji thought for a moment.
"Could it be that Miss Gu doesn't have His Highness in her heart, which is why she doesn't react when she sees Your Highness with other women?"
But this was more than just a lack of reaction; it was clearly to the point where she felt disgusted just looking at him.
This worried Shen Hechuan a lot, so he directly beat up Tianji.
He must have been out of his mind to believe Tianji's words, to the point that Gu Jingchun now doesn't even want to talk to him anymore.
But this guy actually said it was because she didn't have him in her heart.
This infuriated him, and he vented all his frustration at Gu Jingchun ignoring him on Tianji.
The secret: In the end, he bore the brunt of it all.
Meanwhile, in Huian Palace...
When Consort Hui learned that Situ Mingji had left in anger, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"OK!"
"That's really good."
"So what if Shen Hechuan has a child?"
"Now that we've offended the Situ family, we won't be able to sit comfortably in the position of Crown Prince."
However, he forgot that she had an assistant with her.
Thinking of this, Consort Hui then ordered, "Go and prepare some things for me."
Meanwhile, in the Third Prince's courtyard...
Gu Yunjin lay on the bed, barely alive.
She has been lying here for several days, but still no one has called a doctor for her.
She felt a burning pain all over her body, as if her body had fallen apart.
