Shen Hechuan immediately shielded Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi behind him.
But the other side was clearly prepared and coordinated perfectly. They first distracted the guards and then sent someone to attack Shen Hechuan.
Finally, taking advantage of Shen Hechuan's preoccupation with other matters, they launched an attack on Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun had many hidden weapons, making it difficult to get close to him, and the same was true for Gu Jinxi.
Therefore, after several rounds of attacks, the opponent failed to gain the upper hand.
Seeing that their attack had failed, the enemy did not linger and quickly retreated after giving an order.
Tianji and the others originally wanted to pursue them further, but Shen Hechuan stopped them.
"No need to chase after them."
"return!"
Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi with concern.
The other party's target was clearly the two of them.
Chasing after them at this point would not only fail to catch them, but would also fall into their trap of luring them away from their base.
Now, Shen Hechuan doesn't even need to guess who the person who wants to take Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi away is; he knows exactly who it is.
It seems that Mo Junxing has run out of options this time and has even resorted to poaching people.
Shen Hechuan was very nervous because it concerned Gu Jingchun.
He immediately escorted Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi back to the palace.
Afterwards, he ordered strict control to be maintained, resolutely preventing anyone from approaching the two's palace.
Ignoring Gu Jingchun's refusal, he forced himself to move into her room.
Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Shen Hechuan's figure.
He wondered how he should behave.
Should I be a little shy, or a little more normal?
Mainly, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to control herself.
What if I accidentally force myself on Shen Hechuan?
Shen Hechuan, however, was trembling with fear, all his eyes fixed on Mo Junxing in the shadows.
They were afraid he would take Gu Jingchun away in the middle of the night.
Because earlier today, he had received a memorial from Mo Junxing saying that he would be leaving early tomorrow morning.
Given Mo Junxing's madman-like behavior, he worried that Mo Junxing would snatch the person away tonight.
After all, according to Gu Jingchun, Mo Junxing was a madman who could do anything.
Although the palace was heavily guarded, not even a fly could get in.
However, since it concerned Gu Jingchun, Shen Hechuan could not be careless and was determined not to let his guard down for a moment.
However, among the three of them in one room, Gu Jinxi was the happiest.
It was the first time he had slept with his parents.
He jumped around on the bed happily, then pulled Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan to the bed at the same time.
"Father, Mother, it's getting late, you should rest now."
"Today, I will sleep in the middle, Father, you will sleep here."
After Gu Jinxi finished speaking, she pointed to the inside of the bed.
"Mother, you can sleep here."
"When the two of you hug me together, Seele is the happiest baby."
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but pat Gu Jinxi's head.
"good."
"Then we'll listen to Seele."
Gu Jingchun glanced at Shen Hechuan as he spoke.
It was only then that Shen Hechuan belatedly realized that he would be sleeping in the same bed as his wife.
His complexion looked normal, but his earlobes turned red instantly.
He glanced at Gu Jingchun and slowly nodded.
"Yes, Seele is right. Let's get some rest too."
Soon, the three of them were lying on the bed.
Gu Jinxi lay in the middle, first looking at Gu Jingchun, then at Shen Hechuan, and was overjoyed.
His little face was flushed, and his round eyes were curved upwards. Even when he was asleep, the corners of his mouth were turned up.
Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Jinxi's sleeping face.
For the first time, I realized that I had been so focused on Gu Jinxi's safety that I had neglected his thoughts.
I've forgotten about it too.
For a child, the most important thing is their father's company.
He also secretly longed for a father.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but sigh and look at Shen Hechuan.
Looking at Gu Jinxi's sleeping face, Shen Hechuan was filled with emotion.
He couldn't imagine how Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi had fared during the years he was gone.
As a father, he is inadequate.
Now, even though her child is still with her, she is unable to formally recognize their relationship because she is observing mourning.
He originally intended to marry Gu Jingchun directly and make her empress.
At that time, Gu Jinxi will naturally become the Crown Prince.
However, he's starting to get impatient.
They couldn't wait to reveal Gu Jinxi's identity to the public and make him the most honored child in the world.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Gu Jingchun, wanting to discuss it with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she looked up, she met Gu Jingchun's eyes.
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
But then it stopped.
After a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Shen Hechuan: "What were you trying to say?"
Gu Jingchun: "What were you trying to say?"
"I want to say that I want to reveal Gu Jinxi's identity first, so that no one will look down on you and your son in the future."
Gu Jingchun had no objection to this.
"Well... you decide what to do."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Jinxi's small face.
“I used to think that I could raise him very well, that I could provide him with food and clothing, and that he could be happy and carefree without any worries.”
Therefore, even though I knew your identity before, I was unwilling to let you know about Seele's existence.
"But these past few days, seeing Seele's smiling face, I've realized how wrong I was before."
"Because I realized that no matter how good I am to Seele, I can never take the place of a father."
"Even if he doesn't say it, I can tell that he really, really likes you. Maybe that's what blood ties are all about."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Shen Hechuan couldn't help but reach out and place his hand on Gu Jingchun's head, gently patting it.
"It was my fault."
"If only I hadn't left back then."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"If you hadn't left back then, you probably would have brought me back to be your concubine!"
"No……"
Shen Hechuan wanted to explain, but Gu Jingchun ruthlessly interrupted him.
"At most, she'd be a concubine."
"You don't need to explain. Do you think I don't know what you were thinking back then?"
Shen Hechuan was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Gu Jingchun, she stopped talking and remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "No, that won't happen."
“Even though I thought you were of low status at that time, I knew in my heart that even if you had come back with me, I would not have wronged you.”
"Because, at that time I knew that I... could not live without you for the rest of my life."
Those words I said back then were less a warning to you, and more a warning to myself.
