Chapter 113 Gift
"Your Highness, I know that doing this is unfair to Master Luo, but..."
She paused, glanced at Shen Hechuan, who had a dark face, and continued, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of high status, how can a minister disobey his order?"
As she spoke, she looked at Princess Rongyang eagerly.
"Now, since Master Luo is waiting for me outside, Princess Rongyang, please take this servant away, okay?"
When Princess Rongyang saw Gu Jingchun crying, her heart suddenly tightened. What was there that she didn't understand?
Suddenly, he looked at Chen Hechuan in surprise.
She never expected that her prince brother would have such a side to him.
But then he thought of Luo Ziqian kneeling outside the Eastern Palace.
Princess Rongyang's balance tilted, and finally landed on Luo Ziqian's side, so she said, "Don't worry, I will take you out now."
Chen Hechuan was quite surprised to see Gu Jingchun's ability to cry at any moment.
But when he heard what Princess Rongyang said, he almost laughed out of anger.
Her sister was so gullible that she was deceived by just a few tears and words. Now she even had to help Gu Jingchun with her eyes wide open. It was really a joke.
Thinking of this, Chen Hechuan spoke with a cold face to remind her, hoping to make Princess Rongyang realize the current situation.
"Rongyang, you're getting bolder and bolder!"
When Princess Rongyang heard this sinister voice, her heart trembled and she immediately wanted to back out.
But thinking of Luo Ziqian kneeling outside, she didn't know where she got the courage from, and directly retorted:
"No, I'm doing this for the Crown Prince's sake.
If anyone were to find out about your punishment of Brother Ziqian and his fiancée, you would inevitably be scolded by the Emperor, and it might even affect your position as Crown Prince."
As she said that, she pulled Gu Jingchun and wanted to leave.
Gu Jinxi and Xiaoman Lanxin immediately followed.
Upon seeing this, Shen Hechuan immediately shouted angrily.
"Stop!"
Several people did not stop.
Seeing this, Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth in anger and stopped pretending. He stood up and said sternly to Gu Jingchun's back:
"Gu Jingchun, you dare to leave, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"
This can be said to be a naked threat.
Gu Jingchun paused and turned around.
She looked at Shen Hechuan, then took a few steps forward, walked in front of Shen Hechuan, and looked straight into his eyes.
"Your Highness, do you know how I, a humble servant, have been able to carry Xi'er through all these years?"
Gu Jingchun's eyes are extremely beautiful, big, round, and a little innocent, but the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned, adding a touch of charm to his innocent eyes.
Pure yet charming, innocent yet elegant.
So, whenever she looks straight at you, you will be attracted to her unconsciously.
Just like now.
Gu Jingchun's eyes were filled with tears, showing forbearance and grievance. Even though Shen Hechuan had known for a long time that she was telling lies, he had softened his heart at this moment.
She lowered her voice, making sure that Gu Jinxi was playing and wouldn't hear, and then she said, "Your Highness, when I gave birth to Xier alone, I narrowly escaped death, but Xier was extremely weak when she was born.
At that time, I told him.
His father is the most handsome, humble and responsible man in the world. Only if he survives can he see his father.
For so many years, what Xier has longed for most is to have a gentle and reliable father."
When Gu Jingchun said this, the tears in his eyes finally flowed down his cheeks, making Shen Hechuan's heart shrink.
"So, Mu Qian, could you please... not destroy the image of her father in Xier's mind?
Just for Xier, could you please not embarrass me at this moment?"
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun with tears streaming down her face, then looked at Gu Jinxi in the distance, who had her big eyes open and an innocent look on her face. He could no longer say the words to stop her.
When Gu Jingchun saw Shen Hechuan's expression, he knew that his words had worked, so he quickly turned around and strode forward.
Chen Hechuan stood there in a daze, watching the figures of several people leaving.
Seeing that several people were about to disappear from his sight, he could no longer bear it and whispered, "Come here."
In an instant, more than a dozen people surrounded them.
Princess Rongyang frowned.
Gu Jingchun knew very well that her previous confession had made Shen Hechuan less trustful of her words, so if they wanted to leave this time, they would probably need to spend some more time talking.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes again and she was about to turn around.
At this moment, another old and majestic voice was heard.
“Back off!”
Everyone present paused, and then they saw the Empress Dowager standing at the door.
Her face was cold, and her pair of intimidating eyes swept over everyone one by one, finally landing on Shen Hechuan, and then she said: "Prince, let them leave!"
There was no tone of negotiation, which made Shen Hechuan purse his lips tightly and clench his hands into fists.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan was not going to let her go, Tianji quickly said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let Miss Gu leave first!
Putting aside the issue of disobeying the imperial order, Miss Gu's stay in the Eastern Palace is also not justified. Can you bear to let people outside scold them?"
After saying this, he stepped forward and whispered softly:
"Your Highness, Miss Gu only left the East Palace, not Tiandu. It's not like you won't be able to see her in the future."
"If you really miss her, you can go find her when the time comes.
At worst, you can just tie her up again. She can't escape anyway, so why would you let Miss Gu disobey your order?"
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Tianji approvingly, and then stopped talking.
As a result, Gu Jingchun was able to leave the Eastern Palace.
However, before leaving, Gu Jingchun took Gu Jinxi to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the well-behaved Gu Jinxi and liked her more and more. She stepped forward, held Gu Jingchun's hand, and said softly:
"Kid, I'm sorry for wronging you! You can rest assured that I will keep an eye on this kid and will never let something like this happen again."
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother added another sentence.
"As for the marriage...you don't have to worry, I will find a way.
As long as I am here, I will never let you and your child come to any harm."
He would never let the prince's children or his great-grandson live among the people and ask others to be their fathers.
However, the Queen Mother did not say this out loud.
These words of the Queen Mother can be regarded as her guarantee to Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun saluted quickly, and the Queen Mother helped her up and said:
"I'm feeling unwell this time, so I specially summoned you and your son to the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for me. Thank you for your hard work. These are gifts for you. Take them with you when you return this time."
This was the excuse the Empress Dowager gave to allow Gu Jingchun and others to live in the palace.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she saw the maids behind her lined up in a row, each holding a variety of gifts in their hands.
Gold, silver, treasures, silks and satins are all available.
