The shopkeeper weighed the silver in his hand before going to make the preparations.
After arriving at the room, Mo Junxing immediately placed Gu Jingchun on the bed.
Gu Jingchun's eyes widened, filled with anger.
"Mo Junxing, do you have any humanity? With so many of you watching me, and I couldn't run away, why did you have to feed me medicine and make me like this? You've only become a burden."
Mo Junxing raised an eyebrow and gently shook his head.
"No, I love your obedient appearance, how could you be a burden?"
As he spoke, he curled his lips into a smile.
"Besides, if you still have the strength, can you obediently let me hold you?"
"Don't you think so, my wife?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun's anger intensified, and he directly rebuked him.
"Mo Junxing, you are despicable, shameless, and vile."
Mo Junxing nodded.
"You're right, I am indeed despicable, shameless, and vile."
"However, I can be even more despicable, more shameless, and more vile, do you believe me?"
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head and moved closer to Gu Jingchun's face.
As Gu Jingchun watched Mo Junxing's face get closer and closer to her, she immediately turned her face to the side, wishing she could roll off the bed. However, she couldn't move her body at all and could only watch helplessly as Mo Junxing continued to approach her.
"Mo Junxing, don't touch me! I'm warning you! Don't touch me! If you dare to lay a finger on me, I promise I will—"
As he spoke, Mo Junxing's face turned down, and Gu Jingchun could clearly see his eyelashes trembling slightly. He was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, unable to face him at all.
Just as Mo Junxing was about to touch him, a series of knocks suddenly sounded at the door.
The constant "bang bang bang" sounds forced Mo Junxing to stop what he was doing and stand up.
He looked at Gu Jingchun with a face full of regret.
"What a pity, you escaped again."
With that, he got up, opened the door, and went out.
Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief after he left.
At the same time, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her fingers were trembling slightly from surviving the ordeal.
Gu Jingchun gasped for breath, finally realizing what it meant to have fallen into Mo Junxing's hands.
She has to find a way to leave.
After Mo Junxing left, his expression instantly turned cold.
Han Sheng, standing outside the door, lowered his head, feeling the cold aura emanating from Mo Junxing. He took a step back before speaking softly.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. We just received news that things are not going according to our plan in Dacheng. Moreover, our people among the ministers have been removed."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing raised an eyebrow.
What's going on?
"What can Shen Hechuan do to salvage this situation?"
Han Sheng paused for a moment, glanced at Mo Junxing, and then spoke.
"It's because... Miss Gu's son is Shen Hechuan's biological son."
After Han Sheng finished speaking, Mo Junxing paused for a moment before looking at him with disbelief in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"That child is Shen Hechuan's?"
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the room, wishing he could go inside right now to find out what was going on.
However, she suddenly remembered that back in Daqi, she seemed to have said that she loved her child's father very much.
At the time, he thought it was just Gu Jingchun's excuse, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Thinking of this, Mo Junxing couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
Han Sheng, however, stubbornly continued to explain.
"Shen Hechuan actually issued an imperial edict, saying that he met Miss Gu during the war, but they were separated because of the war, and he later reunited with Gu Jingchun in Tiandu."
Mo Junxing: "No wonder. Back then, she was willing to fake her death to go to Dacheng. She must have been looking for Shen Hechuan."
At this point, Mo Junxing gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly together.
A nagging feeling in his chest was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe, and he wished he could go and beat Shen Hechuan up right now.
This feeling of jealousy both intrigued and annoyed Mo Junxing.
"Moreover, now, Shen Hechuan has already appointed Gu Jinxi as the crown prince and has claimed illness to avoid court, leaving the empress dowager and ministers to assist in governing."
Han Sheng speculated, "I guess he must be chasing after us."
Mo Junxing chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Oh!"
"He's quite bold. He's just ascended the throne and he dares to leave the capital. He's really courting death."
He said this with a smile.
"In that case, I'll give him a big gift."
"If the news of Shen Hechuan leaving Tiandu is spread, someone will surely try to intercept him."
Han Sheng nodded in agreement.
"In that case, even if he manages to catch up with us, we will have already returned to Daqi."
Meanwhile, Gu Jingchun had been lying in bed for a long time, and his emotions gradually stabilized.
Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her body was gradually regaining its mobility.
Her constitution was already unusual after she was poisoned.
Presumably, the continuous use of the medication has caused her body to develop drug resistance, and the drug's effectiveness is decreasing.
However, he has only regained a little bit of strength, and it will probably be difficult for him to walk.
However, Gu Jingchun still pretended to be unable to move.
Upon seeing Mo Junxing return, she immediately turned her head away, not wanting to acknowledge him.
After Mo Junxing entered, several more people followed.
Soon, a fragrant aroma filled the room.
Gu Jingchun was already hungry, and the smell made his stomach growl uncontrollably again.
However, she can't eat at all right now.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but glare fiercely at Mo Junxing again, his eyes filled with anger.
Mo Junxing, however, picked up his chopsticks in a great mood.
After taking several bites, he nodded in satisfaction.
"The chef here is great; the food tastes delicious."
As she spoke, she gave Gu Jingchun an innocent wink.
Would you like to try some?
His expression was so infuriating, a stark contrast to his previous cold demeanor.
Seeing that Gu Jingchun's complexion was getting worse and worse, Mo Junxing couldn't help but smile. He picked up his chopsticks again, put some food into his bowl, and then walked over to Gu Jingchun and sat down.
"Alright, don't be angry. After all, you are my future empress. I won't let you go hungry."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and put it to Gu Jingchun's mouth.
But Gu Jingchun kept his mouth tightly shut and refused to eat.
This made Mo Junxing frown and begin to explain.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
But Gu Jingchun still didn't open his mouth.
Helpless, Mo Junxing had no choice but to put the food in his mouth.
