Gu Jingchun didn't want to pay any attention to this idiotic voice.
However, she suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way.
"Gu Jingchun, you still want to run away?"
Chang Zhaozhao glared fiercely at Gu Jingchun.
"Gu Jingchun, you caused me to be severely punished by my father, and now I can't even attend banquets in the palace. You, on the other hand, are living comfortably and even come to Wangjinglou to eat!"
"how?"
"Perhaps His Majesty disliked him and banished him from the palace?"
As he spoke, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.
Gu Jingchun rolled his eyes.
She really didn't want to lower herself to the level of such a fool.
However, a fool blocked his way.
So Gu Jingchun sighed and had no choice but to speak.
"You seem to have forgotten why you were punished last time. How dare you provoke me again? Aren't you afraid your father will send you away this time?"
"you……"
Chang Zhaozhao was about to speak again, but then she remembered her father's reaction that day and hesitated for a moment, not daring to say anything more.
But then she looked Gu Jingchun over carefully again.
They discovered that Gu Jingchun had no servants with him, his clothes were very ordinary, and even the hairpin in his hair didn't look valuable at all.
Immediately, I realized that my guess was correct.
His Majesty must have grown tired of her and banished her from the palace.
Otherwise, why would a female official like her be here?
Thinking of this, she felt completely relieved and immediately shouted angrily.
"Who do you think you are, daring to mention my father? I haven't settled the score with you from last time, and this time, I will absolutely not let you off the hook. I will definitely make you pay."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, intending to hit Gu Jingchun.
But before his hand could land, he received a slap across the face.
"Smack—"
Chang Zhaozhao covered her face in shock.
"How dare you hit me?"
"Smack—"
Another slap landed.
Chang Zhaozhao covered her face, her expression filled with disbelief.
But Gu Jingchun spoke up sharply.
"These two slaps are your father's way of repaying me for apologizing last time."
"Hopefully, these two slaps will make you think hard and reflect on what you're doing."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he ignored her and left.
Chang Zhaozhao originally wanted to stop him, but seeing Gu Jingchun's eyes, she ultimately shrank back and took a step back.
After Gu Jingchun left, she stomped her foot in frustration.
That's absolutely outrageous.
How could she be so frightened by her!
This little incident also caused Gu Jingchun to lose interest.
After returning to her private room, Gu Jingchun told Shen Hechuan about Ye Wenxi's desire to recognize her as his sworn brother.
Shen Hechuan was still heartbroken because of Gu Jingchun's departure.
Upon learning that Gu Jingchun had actually gone to see Ye Wenxi, a hint of resentment appeared on her face.
Finally, upon hearing Ye Wenxi's suggestion to become Gu Jingchun's sworn brother, he immediately stood up with great joy.
"real?"
"This is a good thing!"
Shen Hechuan hadn't expected that Ye Wenxi would be so savvy.
They had actually thought of Gu Jingchun's identity issue ahead of time.
After all, Gu Jingchun is indeed isolated and helpless in the court.
Therefore, Shen Hechuan wanted Gu Erli to continue inheriting the Marquis's mansion in order to pave the way for Gu Jingchun to become his heir in the future.
However, Gu Erli was ultimately a military general with no connections in the court, and he was unsure whether he could be of any help to Gu Jingchun in the future.
However, Ye Wenxi was different.
That's a fox, very cunning.
In the future, he will surely have a place in the imperial court.
If he had the identity of Gu Jingchun's sworn brother, he would surely gain a foothold in the court quickly.
The higher Ye Wenxi's position in the court, the more stable her position became, and no one dared to question her identity.
In the future, if he wants to establish an empress or refuse to participate in the imperial concubine selection, it will reduce the criticism in the court.
Thinking of this, Shen Hechuan wished he could go back immediately and settle the matter tomorrow, fearing that something else might happen.
Gu Jingchun hadn't expected his reaction to be so strong, and quickly pulled him back.
"Don't rush, this isn't urgent. We just finished eating, don't you want to go out for a walk together?"
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan gave up his idea of returning to the palace and nodded quickly.
Soon, the three of them stood on the streets of Tiandu.
After Shen Hechuan ascended the throne, he lifted the curfew.
Therefore, Tiandu City is now very prosperous, almost all night long until dawn.
The streets are filled with a dazzling array of goods; you can find anything you want.
Gu Jingchun also bought quite a few small items along the way.
Although Gu Jingchun would buy small things every time she went out, she never tired of it.
Just as the three finished buying and were preparing to leave...
Suddenly, Gu Jingchun heard cries for help coming from ahead.
The sound was faint, but it still reached their ears.
Gu Jingchun immediately looked at Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan glanced at Tiandu behind him.
Tian Du then gave the person in the shadows a wink.
Soon, a woman was brought before Gu Jingchun by a bodyguard.
The woman was slender and delicate with a beautiful face.
After being thrown to the ground, he immediately knelt down in front of Shen Hechuan.
"Young master, I am very grateful for your life-saving grace."
"I have no way to repay you, so I am willing to follow you and serve you like a slave to repay your life-saving grace."
Upon seeing this, Shen Hechuan immediately raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Jingchun.
Upon seeing this, Tian Du immediately spoke first.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
“Our young master never saved you; it was clearly our lady who saved you.”
The woman paused upon hearing this, and then looked at Gu Jingchun.
"Madam, thank you for saving my life. I'm willing to serve you like a slave..."
"Don't!"
Lanxin, standing behind her, interrupted the woman.
"Forget about being treated like a slave. Miss already has plenty of people around her, so you'd better not come."
Besides, you're too skinny to do any work. Since everything's alright, you should leave quickly.
After Lanxin finished speaking, the woman looked up in surprise, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.
"But...but my parents are dead, and I...have nowhere to go."
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Jingchun.
"Please, miss, please take me in. Just give me a bite to eat, and I'll do anything."
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Yeah?"
"Nowhere to go?"
"Then what are those people lurking in the shadows behind you doing?"
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the woman suddenly looked up, and there was a moment of silence in the air.
Immediately afterwards, several men in black from the shadows swiftly attacked Gu Jingchun's side.
