Unexpectedly, after Gu Wei'ang returned to Tiandu, he showed no vigilance whatsoever and continued to do as he pleased, even thinking of marrying his daughter to the Crown Prince.
Emperor Rongcheng had no choice but to force her to marry the third prince in order to suppress him.
But this time, he was actually sued and it caused such a big commotion that even if Emperor Rongcheng wanted to protect her, he couldn't do anything about it.
The courtiers argued incessantly, and Emperor Rongcheng was at his wits' end. After much debate, he finally adopted the ministers' suggestion to reclaim the military power, thus freeing the Marquis of Yong'an from trouble.
This outcome is good for both sides.
With this in mind, Emperor Rongcheng was completely relieved.
However, at this moment, Shen Hechuan's heart was still not at ease in the Eastern Palace.
He didn't know what was wrong with Gu Jingchun either.
It had been a whole day, and she had barely acknowledged him, which puzzled him greatly. He asked her, but she wouldn't tell him anything, and he couldn't guess what was going on. In his anxiety, he decided to consult the Heavenly Secrets.
But at this very moment, Luo Ziqian insisted on coming to the Eastern Palace to discuss matters.
But instead of leaving right after the meeting, he lingered in the garden of the East Palace.
During this stroll, they unexpectedly ran into Gu Jingchun.
The two greeted each other with a smile, and then exchanged a few words. Gu Jingchun covered his mouth and chuckled, while Luo Ziqian was dressed in a flamboyant manner, like a butterfly, exuding charm, which made Shen Hechuan feel quite uncomfortable.
He watched the two of them from afar, wishing he could go over and separate them right now.
But at that very moment, Luo Ziqian actually reached out and grabbed Gu Jingchun's arm.
His eyes blazed with fury as he stared at the palace, cursing Luo Ziqian inwardly and also wondering why the Eastern Palace's courtyard had to be built so large; he wished he could just step over it in one stride.
He shouted angrily, but after the two of them turned around and glanced at him, they seemed to say something, and Gu Jingchun covered his mouth and smiled again.
The way the two looked at each other, especially, was full of unspoken secrets, which made Shen Hechuan's heart burn with anger.
When he reached the two of them, Luo Ziqian bowed to Gu Jingchun again, saying that it was getting late and he had to leave, and told Gu Jingchun to take care of his health.
Not only did they pretend to be kind, but they also kept fanning themselves with a fan in the dead of winter.
It's an eyesore.
I wish I could snatch his fan and throw it away right now.
But then Luo Ziqian closed his fan and left in a leisurely manner.
Gu Jingchun stood there, smiling at him and waving to him affectionately.
This infuriated Shen Hechuan, who immediately turned Gu Jingchun's shoulder, making him look at him, before asking, "What did he say to you?"
Gu Jingchun watched as his face returned to its cold expression, then turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
"nothing?"
Shen Hechuan was even angrier.
Why are you smiling at him?
Gu Jingchun: "It's my choice, what's it to you?"
Actually, it was an accident that Gu Jingchun was able to meet Luo Ziqian today.
She had not seen Luo Ziqian since entering the palace.
After she had already made things clear with Luo Ziqian last time, the two had not met again.
This time, after Luo Zijun saw her, she smiled and asked her how she had been lately.
He had a relieved smile on his face, and Gu Jingchun smiled along with him.
In fact, he knew what Gu Jingchun's entry into the palace meant, so he didn't insist any further.
He was implying that he was telling Gu Jingchun his thoughts and that they would still be friends in the future.
Gu Jingchun was naturally happy to be friends with Luo Ziqian.
However, when Luo Ziqian saw Shen Hechuan rushing over, and thought about how his soon-to-be wife had been snatched away by him, he couldn't help but get angry.
So, he deliberately helped Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun was puzzled, but at Luo Ziqian's prompting, he looked at Shen Hechuan.
"Do you think he'll be so angry when he gets here that he'll want to eat me alive?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled upon hearing this, and seeing the murderous expression on Shen Hechuan's face, he couldn't help but smile with his eyes crinkling.
It's entirely possible.
Luo Ziqian, however, waved his fan and smiled slightly with a dashing air.
"Then to save my life, I'll go first."
As he spoke, he released her and deliberately said a few words to Shen Hechuan as he approached before leaving.
He walked away with a carefree air, but after turning around, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained and drooped.
Shen Hechuan is really furious.
He looked at Gu Jingchun and, for the first time, disregarded her wishes and picked her up in his arms.
Gu Jingchun was startled by his action and immediately struggled to get up.
"What are you doing? Let go of me."
Now that servants are coming and going in the Eastern Palace, it's bound to become the focus of discussion if she's carried around in Shen Hechuan's arms like this.
In everyone's eyes, she was already a vixen, so how could she allow Shen Hechuan to act recklessly? She could only keep struggling.
However, Shen Hechuan became ruthless and refused to listen to anything.
He said directly, "If you shout louder, everyone here will know that the person I'm hugging is you."
"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun dared not struggle any longer, but buried her face in Shen Hechuan's arms, trying to minimize her presence.
Shen Hechuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Jingchun's obedient appearance.
Despite being the young master of Tianjing Trading Company, did she never consider that the entire Eastern Palace belonged to him? Without his orders, who would dare to look at her or say a word?
Gu Jingchun was carried by Shen Hechuan all the way to his courtyard.
He kicked the door open and threw Gu Jingchun onto the bed.
Just as Gu Jingchun was about to get up, Shen Hechuan leaned down on him.
He pressed her down hard before asking, "Are you willing?"
The words were followed by a kiss.
The forceful kiss, tinged with a hint of ruthlessness, instantly enveloped Gu Jingchun, leaving her completely bewildered and forced to endure it.
However, it instantly extinguished the small flame that had been choking her.
The kiss ended.
Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun's rosy lips and spoke again.
"You like him that much?"
"Um?"
The husky voice fell beside her ear, sending a shiver down Gu Jingchun's spine, and even making her palms itch.
Gu Jingchun wanted to shake her head, but Shen Hechuan kissed her again.
This kiss was much gentler than the last one, but it still carried anger and resentment, all of which were contained within it.
"Hmm..."
Gu Jingchun felt dizzy and all his resentment dissipated in this kiss.
Finally, when Shen Hechuan looked up again, he helped her comb her hair at her temples while asking her a question in her ear.
"It's okay to like him, but please don't look at him, okay?"
Shen Hechuan's breath fell on Gu Jingchun's ear, his voice full of seduction.
Gu Jingchun was completely immersed in the kiss, his eyes glazed over.
