"In the future, if Seele meets a woman she likes, you can give her this, can't you?"
Gu Jingchun agreed that this made sense, so he put the things away.
At that moment, Gu Jinxi threw herself into Gu Jingchun's arms.
"Mother, why did you sneak out of the palace?"
Gu Jingchun held Gu Jinxi and advised:
"Only after leaving the palace can Mother enter the palace again. Besides, Xi'er is a big baby now, so much taller than before. Even if Mother isn't with you these next few days, you have to take good care of yourself in the palace, okay?"
Gu Jinxi nodded obediently, but still clung to Gu Jingchun, wanting him to enter the palace.
It took Gu Jingchun a lot of effort to calm him down before he looked at Shen Hechuan.
"Hechuan, regarding my butterfly jade pendant, did you have anyone investigate it?"
Shen Hechuan: "We've already sent people to investigate, but I doubt we'll have any results so soon."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Okay, please let me know as soon as you have any news."
Shen Hechuan: "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
Gu Jingchun paused for a moment.
"It just suddenly occurred to me."
Because of Shen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi's arrival, Gu Jingchun personally cooked a big meal for the father and son. The two of them ate until they were full and stayed at Gu Jingchun's place, unwilling to leave.
Despite Gu Jingchun's repeated attempts to persuade him, he had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Shen Hechuan was so happy that he drank a few glasses of wine and even pulled Gu Jingchun to drink several glasses with him.
The two drank happily, and before they knew it, the wine was gone.
Shen Hechuan didn't get Gu Jingchun drunk, but he got himself drunk instead.
Seeing Shen Hechuan clinging to her like a child, Gu Jingchun finally coaxed him back to the room. She personally wiped his face, took off his outer clothes, and then covered him with a blanket so he could rest early.
But he returned to his own room.
After returning to his room, Gu Jingchun sat for a while, his mind filled with countless thoughts. Finally, he took out a square box from under his pillow.
This box was given to Gu Jingchun by Princess Rongyang.
There was a jade pendant inside that was exactly the same as the one Gu Jingchun wore around his neck.
In addition, there were several letters.
Judging from the contents of the letter, it appears to be a correspondence between her and a close friend, in which the two talked about everything.
Jiang Xianhao repeatedly mentioned the late Emperor Shen Wanshan.
The woman in question was the same one who appeared in Jiang Xianhao's novels.
Fu Shiyu.
However, Gu Jingchun couldn't understand why the late empress had given him this jade pendant and several letters.
But what does this jade pendant have to do with me?
Gu Jingchun was filled with doubt.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he remembered the box that Mei Xueli had given him before she passed away.
She couldn't help but take the box out again.
Inside were all of Mei Xueli's belongings from all these years, along with several keys.
However, due to the time constraints, Gu Jingchun was unable to find the key to that location.
Now, she was really curious.
Perhaps, finding these keys will lead to the answer he seeks?
However, to find all of this, we would have to go to Qi County again.
But what about Shen Hechuan...?
As Gu Jingchun was thinking, he suddenly heard a series of violent bangs coming from the room door.
Gu Jingchun quickly put the two boxes away, then hurriedly opened the door, only to see Shen Hechuan, who was drunk, staggering in.
Upon seeing Gu Jingchun, he immediately beamed with joy.
She grinned at Gu Jingchun, grabbed his hand, and acted like a child.
"Jingchun, where did you go?"
How did you get here?
"I want to sleep with you."
As he spoke, he swayed and staggered in.
Gu Jingchun had lost his temper and, seeing this, immediately helped Shen Hechuan up.
After lying down on the bed, Shen Hechuan pulled Gu Jingchun up.
"Jingchun, I want to sleep with you."
As he spoke, he pulled Gu Jingchun onto the bed and held him tightly in his arms.
He held Gu Jingchun tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He tried to push Shen Hechuan away, but Shen was very heavy. After several unsuccessful attempts, Gu Jingchun simply gave up.
Gu Jingchun didn't sleep well that night either, and Shen Hechuan was also very well-behaved.
However, he is very clingy and wants to hold her all the time, making her feel heavy even when she is asleep.
As dawn broke, she vaguely sensed Shen Hechuan getting up, and she turned over and sighed comfortably.
Looking at her like this, Shen Hechuan chuckled softly, leaned down and kissed Gu Jingchun on the cheek before whispering, "Sleep well, I'll be back."
With that, he dressed himself neatly and took Gu Jinxi to the palace for court.
Gu Jingchun slept until the sun was high in the sky before slowly opening his eyes.
She stretched, and Lan Xin, who had been waiting outside, heard Gu Jingchun's movement and then pushed the door open and came in.
"Miss, you're awake?"
Lanxin spoke.
"Miss, Jiang Mingwan from the Jiang family has been waiting for a long time."
Gu Jingchun blinked, his mind momentarily sluggish from exhaustion.
Who are you talking about?
Lan Xin then explained, "It's Jiang Mingwan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the one who fell off the carriage the day we returned to Tiandu."
And there's also Miss Situ, Situ Mingji.
“They arrived early this morning, while you were sound asleep, so I took it upon myself to let them in.”
They've been waiting in the front hall for two hours now.
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"You did a good job."
As she spoke, she got up, and after tidying up, she slowly stood up.
"Let's go, let's go and meet this young lady from the Jiang family."
lobby.
Jiang Mingwan and Situ Mingji have been sitting here for two hours.
They had already drunk several cups of tea, but Gu Jingchun still hadn't shown up.
Even with his exceptional patience, Situ Mingji couldn't help but frown at this moment.
She looked at Jiang Mingwan, who was calm and composed, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows inwardly.
She was once hailed as the epitome of a noble lady from the capital.
Every move she made was imitated by the other women, but unexpectedly, in front of Jiang Mingwan, they even felt a little ashamed of their self-harm.
Seeing Jiang Mingwan's gaze turn towards him, Situ Mingji couldn't help but smile and speak.
"I wonder what Miss Gu has been busy with, she hasn't come for so long."
Jiang Mingwan smiled in response, calmly put down her teacup, and then spoke.
No rush.
"Miss Gu has just moved back, so she must have a lot to do. We have nothing else to do, so what's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
"Besides, we have come here without permission. It would be understandable if Miss Gu did not receive us today."
