After Shen Hechuan packed up all the hairpins, Mo Junxing suddenly took out a hairpin from his pocket and handed it to Gu Jingchun.
This is an extremely beautiful and exquisite butterfly hairpin. The hairpin body is golden, and on it is a blue butterfly with wings as thin as cicada wings, which sway gently with Mo Junxing's movements.
As it swayed, the colors on its wings changed several times, becoming vibrant and extremely beautiful.
Below the butterfly is a string of extremely beautiful tassels, with pearls adorning the ends, making it exceptionally exquisite.
"This is the hairpin you dropped when you fell off the cliff."
“I found it when I went to the bottom of the cliff to look for you. At that time, the wings of this hairpin were broken. Fortunately, I made this hairpin myself, so it was repaired quickly.”
Gu Jingchun was astonished upon hearing this.
This hairpin was actually made by Mo Junxing himself?
Back then, Mo Junxing threw this hairpin at her when he said he wanted to marry her.
Although she liked it very much at the time, she never wore it because it was a gift from Mo Junxing.
It was only brought along because they wanted to lull Mo Junxing into a false sense of security when they wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Mo Junxing actually picked up the item, repaired it, and has been wearing it ever since.
Gu Jingchun was so surprised that he remained silent for a moment.
It was this brief silence that made Shen Hechuan's heart sink, while Mo Junxing's lips curled into a slight smile.
But only for a moment.
Gu Jingchun quickly raised his head, took a step back, and shook his head.
“I don’t understand what Your Majesty means by this, but it sounds like this hairpin is very important to you, so Your Majesty should keep it.”
She glanced at Shen Hechuan as she spoke.
"After all, I already have a lot of hairpins."
Mo Junxing suddenly chuckled, and with a sudden burst of strength, he plunged the hairpin straight into Gu Jingchun's neck.
Gu Jingchun's eyes widened in surprise.
All of this happened so fast that Gu Jingchun had no time to dodge.
However, Shen Hechuan swiftly pulled Gu Jingchun away at the crucial moment.
"puff--"
"Um--"
With a muffled groan, Shen Hechuan blocked Mo Junxing's attack with his own arm.
In an instant, with a "whoosh" sound, the guards behind Shen Hechuan drew their longswords and immediately pointed them at Mo Junxing.
The guards behind Mo Junxing were not to be outdone, drawing their longswords in an instant and aiming them at Shen Hechuan.
For a time, tensions rose between the two sides.
Upon seeing this, the people on the street quickly packed up their belongings and hurriedly fled the scene.
Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth, his cold eyes fixed on Mo Junxing.
"Mo Junxing, what exactly do you want to do?"
Mo Junxing looked at Shen Hechuan's bleeding arm and clicked his tongue twice in regret.
Then, with another force, she pulled the hairpin from his arm again.
"What a pity!"
He wiped the blood off the hairpin little by little with his fingers.
"It's dirty!"
He inspected the hairpin inside and out to make sure there was no blood on it before putting it away in his pocket.
After he finished doing all this, he finally turned his icy gaze to Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun was completely terrified. At this moment, she was nervously pressing on the wound on Shen Hechuan's arm, looking at him with anger.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Gu Jingchun finally snapped at him.
"Mo Junxing, how dare you injure the emperor of my Great Cheng? Aren't you afraid that my Great Cheng will attack your Great Qi?"
Mo Junxing gave a soft snort.
"attack?"
"We welcome your suppression. If we are defeated, everything Dacheng has, including you, will belong to Daqi."
Mo Junxing's words were incredibly crazy.
Gu Jingchun directly rebuked him.
"You're a madman."
Mo Junxing sneered.
"Yun Chu, I've already warned you. If you don't come back with me, the next thing that's going to stab you won't just be a hairpin."
He looked at Gu Jingchun with an unprecedented madness in his eyes.
"Since you cannot be the Empress of my Great Qi, then death is the only thing waiting for you."
The cold and insane words made Gu Jingchun's face turn pale instantly.
Shen Hechuan quickly took her hand to comfort her.
"It's alright, I'm here. I will never let him hurt you in the slightest."
After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in them.
"Guards! There is a treacherous envoy from the Great Qi who intends to harm me."
Now, have all the envoys housed in the Sifang Pavilion and keep them under strict guard. No one may enter or leave until the murderer is apprehended.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Junxing's gaze fell directly on Shen Hechuan.
Upon seeing this, the ministers following behind Mo Junxing immediately rebuked him angrily:
"How dare you place the monarch of my Great Qi under house arrest! Aren't you afraid that my Great Qi will send troops to attack you for such an act?"
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
"Since you're going to attack anyway, I might as well just kill your monarch and then attack you later."
"You, you, you..."
The minister was frightened and kept saying "you" several times, but he couldn't say anything more. He could only admit defeat and start persuading Mo Junxing.
But Mo Junxing, that madman, didn't care about any of that at the moment. He turned his gaze to Gu Jingchun, gave her a fierce look, and then waved his long sleeves and left with his men.
After Mo Junxing left, Dizhi immediately stepped forward, applied some simple medicine to Shen Hechuan, and bandaged him up before getting into the carriage to return to the palace.
Inside the carriage, Gu Jingchun looked at Shen Hechuan, who had been implicated by her, and felt full of guilt.
"Today, I have dragged you into this mess."
Shen Hechuan, however, looked at Gu Jingchun.
"It's alright, they're just superficial wounds. It's good that you weren't hurt."
As he spoke, he abruptly changed the subject, tilted his head, and immediately let out a cold snort.
"After all, I didn't make you a butterfly hairpin myself."
Gu Jingchun: ...
She coughed somewhat awkwardly.
Only then did he take Shen Hechuan's hand and begin to explain.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't like Mo Junxing. I didn't like him before, and I won't like him in the future. The only person I like is you."
“Yesterday, I didn’t let him kiss me either.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately turned his gaze back, looking at Gu Jingchun with delight.
Her face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes, in particular, were wide open with joy, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but laugh when he saw his expression.
"I didn't mean to keep it from you before. It's just that things between us are a bit complicated, and I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I didn't say much."
At this point, Gu Jingchun began to offer his reminder.
You must be careful of him!
"He's a madman, a madman who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."
