Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun, who was under the covers, paused in his movements.
It turns out that Gu Jinxi would feel disappointed if he didn't see her when he woke up in the morning.
It seems she needs to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with him.
Let him know that once he grows up, his mother will no longer be able to lull him to sleep.
That way, you won't feel disappointed in the morning.
Gu Jinxi sat up as she spoke.
"Since Uncle coaxed me to sleep, can I treat Uncle to breakfast today?"
Shen Hechuan nodded upon hearing this.
"good."
"But Uncle needs to prepare a bit. Why don't you go and wash up first, okay?"
"Uh-huh."
Gu Jinxi nodded and quickly got out of bed with her short legs, running downstairs with a "tap tap tap" sound.
After Gu Jinxi left, Gu Jingchun immediately threw off the covers and stood up.
Seeing Shen Hechuan's smug face, she was still furious and kicked him hard before storming off.
Thanks to him, she now needs to go back to her room to comb her hair, otherwise how would she explain it if Gu Jinxi asked?
Gu Jingchun stormed back to his room.
Lanxin looked at her like this and even joked with her.
"Miss, you haven't been this happy in a long time."
"happy?"
Gu Jingchun paused.
"right."
Lan Xin explained.
"I have never seen you so vibrant before. You seem to be radiating happiness from the inside out, and you look several years younger."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun muttered something under his breath.
"What do you mean 'fresh'? She's clearly just angry because of that guy."
Although Gu Jingchun said this, he still instructed Lanxin to comb her hair faster.
However, when she finished combing her hair and went to Gu Jinxi's room, Shen Hechuan was nowhere to be seen.
She looked at Gu Jinxi's pouting face, glanced around, and then asked, "Where is the Crown Prince?"
Gu Jinxi sighed.
"They're gone."
"Another person came, said something to him, and then his face turned cold, he stood up and left."
"How did he leave? Was he seen by anyone?"
Gu Jinxi pointed to the sky.
"It flew away."
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi felt very envious.
He is very strong now, but he can't fly yet.
Oh, he really wants to be carried by his uncle again. Last time, he didn't get enough before his mother called him down.
When he meets his uncle again, he will definitely beg him to take him flying again.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi felt less depressed.
"Mother, come and eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Gu Jingchun nodded, feeling slightly depressed.
"That guy, he didn't even say goodbye when he left."
She sat down quietly and ate breakfast with her son.
However, what she didn't know was that Shen Hechuan's figure flying down from the rooftop happened to fall into the eyes of a little girl.
She stared in shock, her mouth agape, and then carefully examined the courtyard he had left in.
He then hurriedly ran back to report.
They arrived at their young mistress's courtyard.
Bai Lu immediately told Gu Yunjin everything she had seen.
Are you serious?
"Really?" Bai Lu nodded firmly.
“This servant saw it with her own eyes and is certain that a man flew out of the young lady’s courtyard.”
“The man was tall and imposing; I couldn’t be mistaken.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin immediately smiled smugly.
"OK!"
"I knew it! How could a widow raise a child? Turns out she's been doing these shady things all along."
"I never expected her to be so unable to stand being alone. She's only been back in Tianjin for a short time, and she's already started cheating on me."
Gu Yunjin became more and more smug as she spoke.
"Send someone to guard her yard. If anyone goes there again, notify me immediately. I want everyone to see what kind of person she really is."
******
Inside the Golden Palace.
Shen Hechuan arrived late.
He had just stood still when he met Emperor Rongcheng's cold eyes.
"Father!"
He bowed in greeting.
Before the ceremony was even finished, Emperor Rongcheng threw down a stack of memorials.
"Look what you've done!"
"You are truly remarkable. I trusted you enough to entrust the defense of the capital to you, but how have you repaid my trust?"
Emperor Rongcheng grew angrier the more he spoke.
"You actually allowed the Great Qi to steal that defense map, what is your punishment?"
Feeling Emperor Rongcheng's rage, Shen Hechuan immediately knelt down.
Seeing this, Prince Rui, who was standing beside him, also spoke up: "Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance; it concerns the safety of our capital and the imperial city."
"If the Great Qi takes this opportunity to attack us, wouldn't it be an easy task?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan chuckled softly.
"The Great Qi doesn't have that ability yet."
Prince Rui chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Your Highness makes it sound so easy, but the defense map has fallen into their hands. If they want to attack, we won't even have time to make adjustments."
As Prince Rui spoke, he carefully examined Shen Hechuan, a hint of smugness in his voice.
"My brother has been in charge of the defense for many years and has never made a mistake. How could he be so careless this time? Could it be that he did it on purpose?"
After Prince Rui finished speaking, the court officials stirred up again.
Some ministers took advantage of Prince Rui's words to impeach the Crown Prince.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's side directly impeached Prince Rui for making baseless accusations without proper investigation, which they felt tarnished the reputation of the future heir apparent.
