Gu Jingchun looked at him, wondering if he hadn't understood what she meant.
Shen Hechuan understood her unease and continued:
"As for other things, you don't need to worry about them."
If this is true, and you have truly been chosen by the divine bird and possess the ability to save the world, then in the future, you will come with me to govern our Great City and let the people live in peace and prosperity.
"Of course, if you think I'm not doing a good job, I can step down and let you sit on the throne."
Left and right are just positions; it doesn't matter to me whether it's you or me.
"The only person I care about is you."
His voice was low and soft, almost seductive.
“Jingchun, you must remember, it’s very clear now that someone is trying to sow discord among us. We will absolutely not give them that chance, and we must not fall into their trap.”
Gu Jingchun nodded slowly.
Hearing these words, one cannot help but be moved.

Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Mingwan waited anxiously in the room.
Until, the maidservant beside him rushed over.
"They're back, they're back, Miss, Master is back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingwan immediately rushed to Jiang Chongfan's study.
As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Chongfan with a cold face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she cautiously spoke.
"Grandfather, is this matter not going smoothly?"
Not long ago, she hurriedly returned from Gu Jingchun's residence and told Jiang Chongfan about the matter.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chongfan immediately guessed the key point.
It was at this time that he also received a secret message from the Guiyuan Sect.
The news coincided with Jiang Mingwan's.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Mingwan, and he began to look at his granddaughter with increasing admiration.
“Mingwan, you did a great job. It’s really not easy for you to see this.”
It's a pity you're just a woman; otherwise, you would be more than capable of carrying the future of our Jiang family.
With that, he patted Jiang Mingwan on the shoulder before hurrying into the palace.
However, he never expected that Shen Hechuan would act in a way that defied common sense.
Otherwise, instead of minding this matter, they would have used this opportunity to bring forward the wedding date.
This made him hate it intensely.
But under Shen Hechuan's reprimand, they didn't dare to refute him again and could only watch helplessly as Shen Hechuan made the decision.
He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground.
"Something that will never amount to anything!"
Jiang Chongfan murmured.
"Back then, what risks did we take to make Ah Hao the Empress, and then we lay low for decades before finally getting this opportunity today?"
But this Shen Hechuan is such a fool!
Not only did they fail to take this matter seriously, but they even shamelessly claimed they were willing to give the throne to a woman—it's utterly absurd, utterly absurd!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingwan looked up abruptly, her pupils dilating for a moment in surprise.
"He... His Majesty, actually said that!"
"snort!"
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly.
"Incompetent wretch!"
"As an emperor, he is still preoccupied with love and is completely controlled by a woman! His throne is threatened, but instead of securing his position, the first thing he thinks of is to move up the wedding date. It's utterly absurd!"
"Utterly absurd!"
Jiang Chongfan's body heaved violently with anger.
"Perhaps we shouldn't have left back then. If I were still in court and had my assistance, he certainly wouldn't have developed this personality where he only cares about women!"
"It was that cowardly man who spouted righteousness and morality that Wang Yongnian raised him to be the way he is."
Seeing that Jiang Chongfan's temper had subsided, Jiang Mingwan picked up another cup of tea and went over.
“Grandfather, you don’t need to be angry. We’re back now anyway.”
"Your Majesty may not have done well before, but with you watching over things now, things will surely change in the future."
Jiang Chongfan felt a little better after hearing this.
Their gazes involuntarily fell on Jiang Mingwan.
"Wan'er, you have always been the most outstanding. Whether it is appearance or talent, you are excellent in everything. Now, how can she, the daughter of a traitor, occupy the position of Empress?"
He sighed as he spoke.
"Very well, since His Majesty is so ignorant, then this old man will help him!"
"After all, I am his grandfather, so it is only right that I help him with some things."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingwan spoke in surprise.
"Grandfather, you wouldn't be thinking of..."
"right."
Jiang Chongfan spoke.
"Since that woman is in our way, why don't we be bold and just get rid of her?"
"But she didn't do anything wrong. If you kill her directly, it might arouse His Majesty's suspicion."
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly.
"She's just a woman, she must have some skills, so we don't need to do anything ourselves."
Jiang Mingwan looked at Jiang Chongfan, wanting to persuade him, but seeing his expression, she ultimately didn't say anything more.
After Jiang Mingwan left, Jiang Qingshan, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.
"Father, if you kill that woman, won't it cause dissatisfaction from the Guiyuan Sect?"
After all, judging from their son's observations, they seemed to value that woman highly, and all their actions revolved around her; they had never harmed her.
"snort."
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly, not taking it to heart.
"She's just a woman. Killing her is no big deal. What complaints will the Guiyuan Sect have?"
"The reason why our Jiang family agreed to cooperate with Guiyuan Sect was so that we could better plan after returning to Tiandu."
"Now, the Guiyuan Sect has meticulously planned this matter, vowing that they will definitely sow discord between the two."
Only then will we cooperate.
"And now, not only has it failed to sow discord between the two, but it has also caused me, before the wedding, to be scolded by His Majesty as well."
"It seems that the Guiyuan Sect is nothing special after all."
"So what if you're unhappy about it? Just order someone to deal with it."
After Jiang Chongfan finished speaking, Jiang Qingshan was still somewhat uneasy, so he added, "But, the Guiyuan Sect has a large number of members, what if they..."
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly.
"I have already investigated the background of this Guiyuan Sect. They are just beggars with no great abilities."
So what if they outnumber us? We can just deal with them all at once later.

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated temple somewhere in Tiandu.
Guan Zhixin, who had just received the news, couldn't help but open her eyes.
"They actually moved the wedding up?"
"It seems I underestimated Shen Hechuan."
"Is this kid really stupid, or has he lost his mind because he loves his young master so much?"
"They're even willing to give up the throne to take this opportunity to move their marriage forward."
Mao Zixiao spoke with concern upon hearing this.
"Master, what should we do? We've not only failed to sow discord between them, but we've also brought forward their wedding."
