"What...what on earth is going on?!"
"How could things have turned out like this!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will go and behead all those ministers right now..."
Gu Jingchun stood up as he spoke, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
"What time is it? Stop causing trouble."
Gu Jingchun cried sobbing.
"Then what should Your Majesty do now?"
"Your Majesty is so young... I..."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, his gaze fell on Shen Hechuan, his eyes filled with sorrow.
His appearance and his eyes immediately darkened Shen Hechuan's face.
The Empress Dowager, seeing the look in Shen Hechuan's eyes, knew that she couldn't say too much at this time, and could only appease Gu Jingchun first.
"Sigh, you're all still young. He Chuan must have been under too much pressure and got upset. With time and proper care, he'll definitely get better."
"I will immediately search for all kinds of famous doctors for you."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, forced a decent smile, took Gu Jingchun's hand in her own, and gently comforted him.
"Jingchun, I'm sorry to have troubled you. You two just got married and this happened. But these are all temporary. You must... take good care of Hechuan's feelings."
I still have a few nice sets of headdresses; I'll have someone send them to the underground palace in a bit.
Gu Jingchun nodded hesitantly, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful as if she was full of worry for Shen Hechuan and lamenting the future.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager could only sigh and turn to leave.
After the Empress Dowager left, Shen Hechuan let out a cold snort.
"How come I never noticed before that my wife's acting skills are so good? Look at your expression, it's like you'd remarry the moment I'm no longer capable!"
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but give her a push.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm clearly worried about you."
What are you worried about?
"Of course I'm worried about your health?"
As he spoke, Gu Jingchun looked Shen Hechuan up and down again.
Are you really alright?
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly and pulled Gu Jingchun into his arms.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty try it yourself?"
Without waiting for a reply, he lowered his head, silencing Gu Jingchun who was about to utter the words.
After the kiss ended, Guo Jingchun, panting, finally finished saying what he hadn't finished earlier.
"Are you crazy? It's broad daylight."
Shen Hechuan gently wiped the water stains from the corners of Gu Jingchun's mouth before giving him another light kiss.
"So what?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and kissed Gu Jingchun again.
However, this time it's not just a simple kiss.
Meanwhile, the little shadow guarding the door had already quietly closed it and told the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door to move away.
After he finished doing all this, he stood at the entrance of the main hall, guarding the door with a serious expression.
They would absolutely not allow anything to disturb the two of them.
But some people just love to make trouble at this time.
Jiang Chongfan rushed over upon hearing the news.
Xiao Yingzi quickly stopped Jiang Chongfan.
"Lord Jiang, His Majesty is in a bad mood and is throwing a tantrum. He won't see anyone. You should go back first and come again tomorrow."
Jiang Chongfan, however, was still somewhat uneasy. He looked worriedly towards the entrance of the main hall and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this old minister was very worried when he heard the news. I came here specifically to share your burdens. Please take care of your health."
Inside the main hall, where the atmosphere was already heated, Shen Hechuan felt annoyed upon hearing these words.
He turned Gu Jingchun over, knelt down, grabbed a vase from beside the bed, and smashed it against the door.
"Splash—"
A soft sound startled Jiang Chongfan, who was outside the door, and he quickly took a step back.
This completely masked Gu Jingchun's involuntary gasp due to his sudden movement.
Seeing this, Jiang Chongfan said no more, sighed, and returned to the Jiang residence.
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Mingwan wore an apricot-yellow long dress today, with a butterfly hairpin in her hair, making her look exceptionally gentle and virtuous.
She specially prepared osmanthus tea for Jiang Chongfan today and brought it to him, only to see him return with a sigh.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chongfan sighed, looking at Jiang Mingwan with deep remorse.
"Wan'er, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise to you."
Jiang Mingwan immediately asked in surprise.
Why?
"But what happened?"
"Is it because Gu Jingchun is unwilling?"
“I went to see her before, and she swore that she would not allow His Majesty to have any woman other than her.”
However, this was merely her thought. If she were to actually become empress and prevent other women from entering the palace, wouldn't that be considered a crime of jealousy, and would make her a laughingstock to everyone?
As Jiang Mingwan spoke, her voice was filled with more hatred.
"Grandfather, did she instigate His Majesty, which is why he acted this way?"
Jiang Chongfan shook his head and sighed.
“This has nothing to do with her.”
"Then why is that?!"
"Grandfather, you'll tell us when the time comes!"
Jiang Chongfan then sighed and told Jiang Mingwan everything that had happened at the morning court session.
Jiang Mingwan took a step back in surprise, looking at Jiang Chongfan in shock.
"So, Your Majesty is now... impotent?"
Jiang Chongfan nodded.
"Wan'er, your grandfather knows your feelings, but how can your grandfather bear to ruin your life!"
Jiang Mingwan slowly shook her head, her tone instantly becoming firm.
"No, Grandfather, Wan'er doesn't mind."
Now, it was Jiang Chongfan who was surprised. "Do you know that if you enter the palace, you will live the life of a widow for the rest of your life?"
"Wan'er knows, but Wan'er doesn't mind."
"Moreover, Wan'er has also heard that if a man is impotent, it is mostly related to... women. Perhaps, once Wan'er enters the palace, she can stimulate His Majesty again, and maybe His Majesty will be able to do it again?"
As Jiang Mingwan spoke, her face turned completely red.
But Jiang Chongfan, being an experienced person, understood that Jiang Mingwan's words made sense, so he nodded.
What you said... is also possible...
"However, we cannot rush this matter. Grandfather still needs to make more preparations. You should go back first. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely grant you your wish."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
Over the past six months, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan's relationship has been stable and...sweet.
The two attended court together and handled government affairs together.
The officials gradually got used to Gu Jingchun's presence.
After all, Gu Jingchun rarely spoke, and the officials often forgot she was even there.
