Mo Junxing seemed to have noticed her thoughts as well.
"Don't forget, your son's life is still in my hands."
"Besides, you can't run away now."
Gu Jingchun's hatred intensified, but he still took a step forward and slowly approached Mo Junxing, feigning surprise.
"You...are you injured?"
But Mo Junxing pressed the sword against her neck a little deeper.
Help me up.
Gu Jingchun smiled, pushed the sword aside, and then continued speaking.
"Be gentle, I'll support you. After all, swords have no eyes, so please don't hurt me."
As she spoke, she gently pushed the sword outwards before helping Mo Junxing to his feet.
Mo Junxing was indeed injured, and quite seriously so.
As soon as Gu Jingchun got close, he smelled a strong stench of blood.
He had already sheathed his longsword and spoke softly.
"That doll in your son's room is quite unique."
Gu Jingchun paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked up in shock.
The doll in Gu Jinxi's room was the latest one she made for him.
Just before she left!
Mo Junxing actually knew!
It seems he really did have people around Gu Jinxi.
Mo Junxing's words were also meant to tell Gu Jingchun.
It's best not to try any tricks; he really will kill Gu Jinxi.
This made Gu Jingchun grit his teeth and temporarily abandon his thoughts of killing him or escaping.
She could only obediently support Mo Junxing as they walked forward.
"Don't worry, this time I won't run away again."
Mo Junxing: "You'd better do that."
The path in the woods was difficult to walk on, and Gu Jingchun didn't have much strength, so she almost fell several times, but luckily Mo Junxing pulled her up.
Gradually, the two developed a tacit understanding.
Mo Junxing has excellent eyesight in the dark and is responsible for checking for various dangers on the road.
Gu Jingchun then helped him move forward.
After walking for a long time, seeing that they were both almost out of strength, Gu Jingchun finally stopped to rest.
Gu Jingchun looked at Mo Junxing beside him and couldn't help but ask:
"Who...who killed you this time?"
Mo Junxing clutched his abdominal wound and refused to speak.
Gu Jingchun replied, "I know who it is even if you don't tell me."
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"You're quite clever. Tell me, who is it?"
Gu Jingchun: "Of course it's your good mother, Empress Dowager Xiao."
"After all, the person who most wants you to die in Dacheng right now is none other than your mother."
"She really had a good plan. She wanted you to die in Dacheng, and then conveniently pinned all the blame on Dacheng, while she herself remained unscathed. This would allow her to install a new emperor and seize control of the government."
That's quite a clever plan!
Mo Junxing gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"You're wrong. There are many people who want me dead, including your Emperor of Dacheng."
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"It wasn't him."
Her tone was firm.
"If it were him, he would first locate me, determine if I was in danger, and if possible, rescue me first before launching such a large-scale operation."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing snorted coldly, "You seem to know him quite well."
Gu Jingchun smiled.
"Yes, I do know him very well."
Mo Junxing continued to snort coldly, and struggled to his feet, leaning on the books beside him.
"Since you know him so well, why don't you guess why he hasn't come to rescue you yet?"
Gu Jingchun rolled her eyes at him.
I thought to myself, "He didn't come to save me, don't you know that?"
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"Let me tell you the truth: your future husband didn't come to save you."
Gu Jingchun suddenly looked up, staring straight at Mo Junxing even in the darkness.
"He did send out a lot of people to look for you, but he didn't come out himself."
After all, he has only just ascended the throne; why would he disregard state affairs and come looking for you?
"He can still tell which is more important, power or beauty."
Gu Jingchun remained silent for a moment.
Just as Mo Junxing thought she was sad and wanted to comfort her, Gu Jingchun suddenly raised her head, smiled, and spoke with bright and firm eyes:
"No, he will definitely come!"
"Moreover, they arrived as quickly as possible after all the court affairs had been arranged."
"Even if you try everything to stop him along the way, he will rush over without hesitation."
Gu Jingchun deduced that, given Mo Junxing's personality, he must have set up countless obstacles for Shen Hechuan along the way.
In addition, she was secretly brought out by Mo Junxing. Even if Shen Hechuan found out earlier, by the time he had arranged the affairs of the court, she would have been able to escape.
Shen Hechuan's departure time would always be a few days later.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun believed that as long as she stalled for time, Shen Hechuan would definitely catch up.
"snort!"
Mo Junxing chuckled lightly, looking quite disdainful.
However, Gu Jingchun discerned the answer he had guessed from his disdain.
She guessed right!
Gu Jingchun felt a little more at ease, slowly stood up, and while supporting Mo Junxing, deliberately pressed his hand on Mo Junxing's wound, making him gasp. Only then did Gu Jingchun smile with satisfaction.
The two walked through the woods for almost the entire way, and finally, just before dawn, they emerged from the woods and found the village.
Gu Jingchun helped Mo Junxing knock on the door of a house.
The couple who opened the door were around fifty years old.
They were surprised to see the two disheveled people, but when they saw the wound on Mo Junxing's abdomen, they immediately exclaimed and let the two in.
"Old man, old man, hurry and go to the village to invite Old Li to come and take a look. This boy looks badly injured."
Soon, an old man with gray hair arrived.
Upon seeing Mo Junxing's wound, he immediately frowned and hurriedly ran out.
Before long, he returned with some more bottles, jars, and herbs.
Of course, he was accompanied by a young girl.
Upon seeing Mo Junxing, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my, what a handsome man!"
The old doctor called out to her, "Why aren't you coming to help?"
At this point, Mo Junxing was already in a coma.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stepped forward, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut Mo Junxing's clothes in half.
Gu Jingchun: ...
She looked at the large expanse of skin exposed by Mo Junxing and couldn't help but turn her head away.
Soon, Mo Junxing was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
The gray-haired doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, whether he lives or dies depends on whether he can make it through tonight."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Jingchun again.
"Girl, you must keep a close eye on your husband. If he develops a high fever tonight, be sure to bring him down in time."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
He wondered how to raise the temperature even higher, ideally enough to burn him to death.
