She put the book down and saw a beautiful red flower-printed bundle underneath. It looked like it was the bundle that had wrapped her up back then.
Below that are two sheets of paper with a string of text on them.
If Gu Jingchun wasn't mistaken, this should be the origin of gunpowder.
The handwriting was neat and tidy, but it was crooked and didn't look good.
However, Gu Jingchun seemed to be able to see the woman writing with a frown.
It must be very fresh.
Three months later.
The entire nation was at peace, and the people lived in tranquility and contentment.
And on such an ordinary day.
Princess Rongyang, the only princess of the Great Cheng Dynasty, has gotten married.
That day, the whole place was bustling with activity.
As the first joyous occasion after the war, the people came out in droves and stood by the roadside cheering happily to celebrate Princess Rongyang's wedding.
Princess Rongyang, sitting in her sedan chair, looked at Luo Ziqian ahead and listened to the cheers of the people. She felt joy and sweetness in her heart.
Soon, the sedan chair stopped, and Luo Ziqian helped Princess Rongyang down from it. After Luo Ziqian stepped over the saddle and bowed to heaven and earth, they were led into the bridal chamber.
Meanwhile, Shen Hechuan stood at the palace gate, watching the sedan chair disappear into the distance, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but give him a push.
"What? You still can't bear to part with it?"
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"No, I just feel that my younger sister is getting married, and it makes me realize how fast time flies."
Gu Jingchun held his hand and murmured something.
"Yes, time flies. Looking back now, it feels like just yesterday that I first saw you."
Shen Hechuan also held her hand.
"yes!"
"However, as long as you're with me, what does it matter how fast time flies?"
"Alright, judging by the time, they should have been taken to their bridal chamber by now. Let's go, let's go to our bridal chamber too."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun gave him a push.
"How annoying! You're the emperor now, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Shen Hechuan couldn't help but smile, and as they walked, he put his arm around Gu Jingchun.
"The palace maids are all far away, so who would hear us?"
Hearing this, Gu Jinxi behind him sighed helplessly.
He can hear me, Father!
I'm still a child. Didn't you consider my feelings when you spoke?
Seeing that the two had already turned onto a side path and were heading directly towards Jing'an Palace, he couldn't help but sigh.
Behind her, Xiaoman, seeing Gu Jinxi's resentful gaze, couldn't help but remind her, "Your Highness, it's almost time. It's time to go back and review the memorials."
Gu Jinxi sighed, feeling wronged.
"Tell me, was I adopted by Mother? Why have Mother and Father forgotten about me since Father came back?"
Xiaoman shook her head.
"Your Highness is overthinking it. His Majesty and the Empress have not forgotten you. This morning they even reminded me not to forget to have you review the memorials!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi's small face immediately scrunched up.
"They...they are really awful!"
"I'm just a child, at the age where I should be playing. Why should I be reviewing memorials?"
Meanwhile, the two who were walking towards Jing'an Palace finally remembered Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jingchun hesitated for a moment.
"Xi'er is only eight years old. Is it really okay for us to just throw all the documents at him?"
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"Don't worry, he's eight years old. Handling this kind of thing is a piece of cake for him. Besides, we've already taken care of the important things, haven't we?"
“He’s eight years old now, it’s time for him to grow up independently, otherwise, how will he be able to govern the entire Dacheng in the future?”
Gu Jingchun also thought it made sense and nodded.
That night, Gu Jingchun lay in bed, already fast asleep.
In her dream, she seemed to have returned to her past life, to the time of greatest pain.
She seemed to be in a state of nothingness, watching herself being brought back by people from the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, but because of her status, she was looked down upon, bullied by Gu Yunjin, disliked by Chu Qianlan, and attacked by Gu Nansheng...
She, on the other hand, felt helpless and insecure.
Therefore, when Chu Qianlan suddenly spoke gently to her about marrying the Third Prince, she immediately nodded in bewilderment and agreed.
She was locked in the courtyard and knew nothing about the outside world.
However, when she married him, she discovered that the third prince was actually an idiot, and a violent one at that.
After she married him, she was constantly whipped.
She went from initial resistance to numbness, and finally was tortured to death.
During this period, the Empress Dowager summoned the imperial physician for her because of a remark made by Shen Hechuan.
No one cared whether she lived or died.
Since marrying the Third Prince, she has been confined to her courtyard and has never seen anyone, let alone Shen Hechuan.
Therefore, this was the first time Gu Jingchun had met Shen Hechuan here.
That was a face that was just as beautiful as it is now.
He heard her crying and wanted to go and stop her, but considering his status, he felt it was inappropriate and feared it would affect her reputation. So, he went to the Empress Dowager and brought up the matter.
Only then did the Empress Dowager realize her predicament. She specially summoned the imperial physician to treat her and severely punished the Third Prince.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her life would change because of this.
