"It's good that you're alive now."
Now that your life has been spared, you should pull yourself together and be ready to take revenge at any time.
Do you know who harmed you?
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei'ang finally slowly raised his head.
"Shen Hechuan".
Chu Qianlan was surprised.
"Your Highness?"
After she finished speaking, she thought of something else.
"Isn't that girl Gu Jingchun in the East Palace right now? Could it be that she did all of this?"
Gu Wei'ang glanced at Chu Qianlan upon hearing this, but did not speak.
He knew perfectly well why Shen Hechuan was targeting him.
Judging from his plan this time, it's aimed at him and Prince Rui, creating discord between them. He must already know that he's secretly siding with Prince Rui.
However, Chu Qianlan was unaware of this.
She was now convinced that this was all Gu Jingchun's revenge against the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, so she immediately cursed under her breath.
"What an ungrateful wretch!"
She snorted coldly.
"No wonder that Taoist priest said she was an ominous star and instructed that she be sent away."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei'ang immediately spoke up to remind him.
"Shut up, this matter is not up for discussion."
"How much time has passed? They've already kicked you out, and they're even trying to kill you. And you won't let me speak?"
"Back then, when that wet nurse was about to leave with Gu Jingchun, you tried to stop her."
"Luckily I stopped her back then. Look how peaceful our household has been these past few years without her!"
"Ever since she returned, the household has become increasingly uneasy."
"If I had known, I should have listened to that stinky Taoist priest and resolutely refused to let that girl come back."
Chu Qianlan felt even more remorseful as she spoke.
"I wonder what happened to the wet nurse who took her away back then. So many years have passed, she must be dead by now!"
After Chu Qianlan finished speaking, seeing that Gu Wei'ang had no reaction, she snorted coldly.
"I think this girl will ruin our Yong'an Marquis's mansion sooner or later. We might as well take this opportunity to get rid of her."
Gu Wei'ang couldn't help but glance at her.
"She's still our daughter, how can you be so heartless?"
Chu Qianlan didn't know why, but she just couldn't bring herself to like Gu Jingchun.
Moreover, he was very afraid of her, which is why he wanted to kill her.
Unbeknownst to them, a dark figure was crouching on the roof.
Upon hearing this, he left quietly.
******
Prince Rui is going crazy.
He had been lying in bed for a long time, but today he was finally able to stand up.
However, he learned that his mother had been banished to the Cold Palace.
This angered him so much that he almost fell over. If it weren't for his poor health, he would have gone to Emperor Rongcheng to plead for mercy right now.
But just then, he received a message secretly sent by his mother.
Consort Hui told him to wait for the right opportunity and not to go to Emperor Rongcheng at this time.
That day.
Gu Jingchun was on his way to Shou'an Palace.
During this time, Gu Jinxi was treated as the "crown prince". Emperor Rongcheng kept him by his side and personally taught him various imperial strategies.
When she had some free time, the Empress Dowager would "snatch" the person away.
As a result, Gu Jingchun had not seen Gu Jinxi for several days.
This troubled her greatly. After learning that Gu Jinxi was in the Empress Dowager's palace today, she decided to go there to see her son.
Who told me to miss my son?
But halfway through her journey, she was stopped by someone.
Gu Yunjin, accompanied by several maids, stood in front of Gu Jingchun.
"Oh my, who did I think this was? It turns out to be my dear sister!"
Gu Yunjin deliberately dragged out the tone, her voice full of smugness.
"I thought my sister was so amazing back then, but I never expected that she would end up as a lowly lady-in-waiting in the palace."
As Gu Yunjin spoke, she took another step forward.
"Sister, oh sister."
"Do you know that being a lady-in-waiting in the palace is not easy?"
Without anyone to back me up, I'm afraid life will be very difficult from now on.
If you want to live a more comfortable life in the future, perhaps you should…
As Gu Yunjin spoke, she leaned down, deliberately getting close to Gu Jingchun, and continued speaking in her ear without lowering her voice at all.
"Why don't you kneel down and beg me now, and I'll protect you from now on, how about that?"
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Need not."
She looked up as she spoke.
"After all, given your current status in the palace, I doubt many people take you seriously. Are you sure you can protect me?"
These words struck a chord with Gu Yunjin.
She endured her disgust to marry the third prince, thinking that she would rise to prominence in the future.
Little did they know that this place was a den of wolves and tigers, where there was no dignity or respect to speak of, and they were tortured by the Third Prince every day.
Because of the Third Prince's mentally challenged status, she was completely ignored by outsiders.
Sometimes, even a palace maid would bully her, which filled her with grief and indignation, making her wish she could kill everyone.
After learning that Gu Jingchun had entered the palace, she thought she could take the opportunity to humiliate him severely and regain her own face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jingchun not only ignored her, but also revealed her predicament, which made her furious and her face turn pale.
"Gu Jingchun, don't forget who you are now. How dare you disrespect me?"
As she spoke, she raised her voice.
"Guards, seize this disrespectful lady-in-waiting and give her a good beating!"
