"She wasn't possessed; she was just... caught off guard and learned her lesson."
Gu Jingchun smiled again upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty is joking. What seven-inch mark? Everything I said is true."
As she spoke, she caught sight of the tea tray next to her out of the corner of her eye and quickly went over to pour her a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, you have been sitting for so long, you must be thirsty. Let me pour you a glass of water."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he brought the water to Mo Junxing.
Mo Junxing pursed his lips and gently lifted his eyelids.
Gu Jingchun gritted his teeth in anger, but still put on a fawning smile.
"I forgot that Your Majesty is not feeling well right now. It's alright, I'll feed you myself."
As she spoke, she placed the water glass near Mo Junxing's lips.
However, the speed at which the water was poured was extremely fast.
Mo Junxing couldn't swallow in time, and water leaked out from the corners of his mouth.
Han Sheng, who was standing beside him, was immediately displeased.
“Gu Jingchun, if you don’t want to be fed, you don’t have to. Look, you’ve already gotten the monarch’s clothes all wet.”
Gu Jingchun rolled her eyes at him.
"I want to! I bought him these clothes, so if I want them to get wet, so be it. What's it to you?"
"Why don't you go buy him some clothes?"
One sentence left Han Sheng speechless.
After all, to avoid revealing their location, Han Sheng dared not go anywhere else except this courtyard, let alone go to buy clothes for Mo Junxing.
Mo Junxing, however, curled his lips into a smile, a genuine warmth emanating from his usually cold face.
At that moment, the tightly closed courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside.
The elderly couple in the courtyard have returned.
The couple's surname was Wang, and Gu Jingchun called them Grandma Wang and Grandpa Wang.
When Granny Wang saw what the two were doing, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh dear, we've come back at the worst possible time. We've interrupted your flirting."
Gu Jingchun opened his mouth to explain, but then he remembered that he hadn't explained their identities to avoid trouble, so he had no way to explain now.
I could only manage an awkward laugh.
Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing's smile deepened, and he even took the rare step of greeting the two elderly people.
Granny Wang was a talkative woman. Seeing that Mo Junxing had woken up, she came over and said:
"Young master, you're awake! You're so lucky to have married such a wonderful wife. She was so worried about you when you were unconscious yesterday and took care of you all night!"
“I saw her washing handkerchiefs to cool you down when I got up in the middle of the night.”
After speaking, he turned to look at Han Sheng beside him, pausing in his speech.
Gu Jingchun quickly explained.
"This is his guard, who arrived today."
Grandma Wang nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, he's also good-looking, but his personality seems a bit cold."
As she spoke, she glanced at Mo Junxing's face again.
"However, your husband is still the most handsome. If my daughter saw him, she would definitely make a fuss and refuse to get married."
After Granny Wang finished speaking, Gu Jingchun smiled as well, but he still felt a wave of embarrassment.
Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief after Granny Wang left.
Mo Junxing's smile deepened, and his gaze towards Gu Jingchun held a deeper meaning.
Gu Jingchun didn't want to talk to him, so she simply went back to her room and prepared to take this time to rest.
After Gu Jingchun left, Mo Junxing slowly spoke.
"Once his men arrive, a lesson will suffice; there's no need to kill him."
Upon hearing this, Han Sheng's eyes widened slightly.
They're not going to kill them?
Do you cut the weeds but not the roots?
When did monarchs become so soft-hearted and lenient in their actions?
"Your Majesty... but if we let them go, what if they go out and send messages?"
Mo Junxing: "If they wanted to send a message, they would have already done so. Killing them wouldn't make a difference."
"Besides, even if Shen Hechuan knew the news, so what? He couldn't fly over here even if he wanted to."
Han Sheng nodded.
He looked at Mo Junxing's expression and whispered a reminder.
"Your Majesty, you should go back to receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying your recovery."
Now that our people have all arrived, why don't we leave here first and return to Daqi as soon as possible to make further plans?"
Mo Junxing shook his head.
No rush.
"If we go back now, wouldn't we be ruining Empress Dowager Xiao's plans?"
"Why don't we let Empress Dowager Xiao's people search for me first? When they think I'm dead and are overjoyed, then we can go back. Wouldn't that be quite interesting?"
Han Sheng was slightly puzzled upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, you want to..."
Mo Junxing nodded.
"Find a corpse of similar build to me, dress it in my clothes, and throw it at the foot of the mountain so that Empress Xiao's people can find it."
That way... they'll be happy, they'll celebrate, and they'll let their guard down...
Han Sheng looked at the smile on Mo Junxing's lips and felt another chill run down his spine.
Here we go again, here we go again.
Whenever Mo Junxing showed this expression, it meant that he was about to go berserk and go on a killing spree.
You tell me, wouldn't it have been better for Empress Dowager Xiao to just be a good empress dowager?
It was rare that the monarch did not hold a grudge against her for murdering his birth mother, and still remembered the small favor she had done for him, so he wanted to spare her life.
But she just had to court death.
It's one thing to win over court officials normally, but now they've actually found so many people who want to kill the monarch!
Isn't this just plain suicide?
Now, Han Sheng could already imagine the bloodshed that awaited him upon his return to Daqi.

On the other side.
When Tianjing Trading Company saw a strange girl wearing a hairpin, they immediately became alert and sent the message out immediately.
Gu Jingchun's hairpin was specially made.
Its usual shape is the normal ruyi pattern.
But there is a small mechanism on it. Once pressed, a small tentacle will appear on the Ruyi, like a sword piercing the Ruyi.
And for anyone from Tianjing Trading Company, the first thing they need to recognize is this symbol.
Therefore, when they saw the hairpin in the woman's hair, they guessed that Gu Jingchun was in danger.
While sending out the message, he also ordered his men to secretly follow the girl to this small village, where they discovered the seemingly peaceful but actually tightly surrounded courtyard.
Tianjing Trading Company has its own unique way of transmitting messages.
Extremely fast.
Within a day, the news reached Ye Wenxi.
After Gu Jingchun disappeared, Ye Wenxi immediately left Tiandu to look for him.
However, he also knew that although he had the means, he did not have enough power to contend with Mo Junxing.
Therefore, upon learning the news, he immediately frowned.
