"Your Majesty, honest advice is hard to swallow, but we are reiterating it for the sake of the stability of our Great Cheng court."
"Is that so?" Shen Hechuan sneered.
The hand that held the longsword hung limply at his sides.
The longsword fell to the ground, its tip scraping against the ground with a soft sound and leaving a noticeable mark.
It was as if the image was painted on the ministers' hearts, making them tremble.
Despite this, none of them moved.
Because they all felt that Shen Hechuan would definitely not dare to really touch them.
After all, executing a minister in the imperial court is a major taboo.
If Shen Hechuan wants to become a wise ruler in the future, he must not do such a thing.
However, at this moment, Shen Hechuan truly harbored murderous intent.
Since they keep insisting that he kill Jing Chun, he might as well just kill them.
The little shadow beside him saw the killing intent in Shen Hechuan's eyes.
He quickly put his arm around Shen Hechuan.
"Your Majesty, you must not act rashly!"
As he spoke, he winked at the eunuch beside him, signaling him to go find someone to help.
"Your Majesty, if you really do this, you will surely make Miss Gu the target of everyone's criticism!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan hesitated for a moment.
It was at this moment that Gu Jingchun shouted.
This caused Shen Hechuan to stop all his movements.
As Gu Jingchun walked in, the ministers became even more unwilling.
Jiang Chongfan spoke first.
"This is the main hall. How can just anyone enter without being summoned?"
Gu Jingchun glanced at him and immediately stopped in his tracks.
"oh?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps back and retreated outside the main hall.
"In that case, I will go out and wait for His Majesty's summons."
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell eagerly on Shen Hechuan's face.
Shen Hechuan coughed lightly before saying, "Summon Gu Jingchun."
The little shadow paused for a moment before shouting out.
"Gu Jingchun is summoned to an audience."
After he finished speaking, Gu Jingchun slowly walked in.
She walked to Jiang Chongfan's side, first bowed to Shen Hechuan, and then looked at Jiang Chongfan.
"Lord Jiang, now I can come in without any problem, right?"
"If you feel there's anything else that's not right, tell me right away and I'll fix it right now."
One sentence made Jiang Chongfan so angry that he was practically swearing.
Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun, but felt somewhat uncertain.
Starting yesterday, he began to avoid being alone with Gu Jingchun.
He was genuinely afraid that these things would once again damage their relationship.
Previously, Gu Jingchun had been making a fuss about leaving.
He finally agreed to marry her after much difficulty, and now that the time is almost up, this has happened.
If Gu Jingchun were to use this as an excuse to cancel the wedding, then Shen Hechuan would truly be helpless.
That's why he kept running away.
And now...
Shen Hechuan thought of what the ministers had just said and was afraid that Gu Jingchun would be unhappy, so he stepped forward to persuade Gu Jingchun to go back first.
However, Gu Jingchun walked to the front and slowly spoke to the ministers.
"My lords, I have heard of your demands."
"So now they just want His Majesty to kill me in advance to prevent future troubles."
However, this is impossible.
Gu Jingchun glanced at Shen Hechuan again as he spoke.
"As for what you said about wanting to cancel our wedding, I've heard about that too."
She spoke, her voice firm.
"Of course, none of these are possible."
Gu Jingchun's two sentences instantly enraged everyone present.
If Shen Hechuan hadn't been there, he would definitely have started yelling.
However, Gu Jingchun smiled gently, walked to Shen Hechuan's side, took his hand, and spoke firmly.
"Because this time, no matter what happens, I will not let go of his hand."
One sentence made Shen Hechuan's heart pound violently.
He looked at Gu Jingchun with joy, and the worries he had been having vanished instantly. He immediately replied, "Yes, Jingchun is right. No matter what happens this time, the wedding will not be canceled, and I will not let go of her hand."
Immediately, the ministers were all discussing the matter.
Clearly dissatisfied, Gu Jingchun raised his voice and continued:
“I know your concerns. What you are worried about is my bloodline. You are afraid that I will rebel one day.”
"Therefore, I can guarantee here that I will never do anything detrimental to His Majesty in the future."
"As for the bloodline of the former crown prince, it is not a threat at all."
After that, Jiang Chongfan couldn't hold back any longer and retorted directly: "Absurd!"
"Now that you are of the late Crown Prince's bloodline, how can you not be a threat?"
"I have already investigated. The Guiyuan Sect is yours. You still say you have no intention of doing anything. If you really had no intention of doing anything, why would you establish such a sect and become a threat to our Great Cheng?"
Gu Jingchun smiled.
"Lord Jiang seems to have forgotten what kind of person my father, the late Crown Prince Li Wenci, really was?"
"If you don't remember, you can go and ask the people now what a good prince he is!"
"He was wholeheartedly devoted to the people; in his eyes, the safety of the people was the most important thing."
"That's why, when the late emperor forced him to abdicate, he didn't resist for long. Instead, seeing that the situation was hopeless, he committed suicide, which saved the lives of most of the people in the Eastern Palace."
"Lord Jiang, how could such a good crown prince allow his subordinate, his daughter, to rebel?"
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly, "He is him, and you are you. Who knows if you have ulterior motives?"
"A wolf in sheep's clothing?" Gu Jingchun chuckled lightly.
“If I had such ambition, why would I have waited until now? I would have had plenty of opportunities when I was whispering sweet nothings to His Majesty before.”
"I'm afraid that some people are deliberately using my identity to try to do something outrageous and frame me."
"Don't you agree, Lord Jiang?"
Jiang Chongfan was meeting Gu Jingchun for the first time, and he didn't expect that she would shut him up with just a few words.
"That's just sophistry!"
"Soliciting nonsense?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"In the past few days, my identity has caused quite a stir in Tiandu."
Another piece of news that sparked much discussion among the people was the Guiyuan Sect.
"So I went to investigate, and guess what happened?"
"This Guiyuan Sect actually has a close relationship with Lord Jiang."
"Moreover, just now, Lord Jiang repeatedly said that Guiyuan Sect belongs to me."
