Chapter 161 Refusal of Marriage
“However, I just saw Gu Jingchun being called away by the Crown Prince’s men, and he didn’t return until the banquet began.
Therefore, I thought...she...wanted to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I thought of disciplining her on behalf of Miss Situ..."
After saying this, the expressions of several people present changed.
Gu Jingchun: Now that’s good, everyone present knows that Chen Hechuan summoned her to the East Palace alone.
How should this matter be explained?
Situ Mingji: An unexpected disaster.
How should she explain to make everyone believe that this matter has nothing to do with her?
Furthermore, the matter of the Crown Princess has not yet been concluded, and it would be inappropriate to bring it up in front of Concubine Hui and the princess.
Princess Rongyang: What?
Gu Jingchun seduced the prince?
Situ Mingji is the Crown Princess?
How come she doesn't know these things?
Concubine Hui: What a great show!
"Who do you think you are? You're actually teaching her a lesson on behalf of Situ Mingji?"
Princess Rongyang couldn't stand it anymore and turned to ask Situ Mingji.
"Gu Jingchun is my good friend. Did you ask her to teach Gu Jingchun a lesson?"
Situ Mingji quickly shook his head.
"Your Highness, please understand. I haven't spoken a word to her today, so how could I ask her to do such a thing?"
Situ Mingji had long known that Princess Rongyang was always unruly, so he didn't dare to say much and quickly distanced himself from the woman in yellow.
Princess Rongyang then snorted coldly and muttered softly.
"You don't have the courage to do that."
After saying that, she immediately ordered, "Come here, drive this unknown person out for this princess."
"How dare any Tom, Dick, or Harry bully my friend!"
As she spoke, she took Gu Jingchun a step forward and said loudly:
"I emphasize again that Gu Jingchun is my good friend. If you bully her, you are bullying me!
This princess wants to see who among you still has the guts to bully her!"
After Princess Rongyang finished speaking, everyone present looked at Gu Jingchun.
Everyone secretly sighed that Gu Jingchun was really lucky.
He had just been kicked out of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, but now he has won the favor of Princess Rongyang.
Now, Gu Jingchun could almost walk sideways in the palace.
And at this time in the Wanhe Hall.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
Crown Prince Chen Hechuan knelt in the center of the hall, with stubbornness in his cold eyes, as if he would not get up from his knees until Emperor Rongcheng revoked his order.
Emperor Rongcheng's expression was also extremely ugly.
He stared at Shen Hechuan, his tone full of threats.
"Chen Hechuan, I ask you again, do you accept this imperial edict or not?"
However, Chen Hechuan raised his head stubbornly.
"Father, I'm sorry, I can't obey your command."
"good."
"very good."
Emperor Rongcheng looked at the stubborn Shen Hechuan and was so angry that he stood up and paced in front of him.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing.
"Chen Hechuan, do you still remember your identity?
You are the prince of Dacheng!
Not a commoner who can do whatever he wants."
"Look at who the Crown Princess I assigned to you is?
"That's the girl from the Situ family, the Situ family, the Chief Censor!"
"Do you know what this means?"
Shen Hechuan nodded when he heard this.
"I understand, but I am unwilling to accept it."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he laughed at himself.
"Over the years, Father has never given me any preferential treatment.
I have come this far on my own. Now, even without the help of the Situ family, I believe that I am capable enough to be the crown prince!
These words almost drove Emperor Rongcheng crazy.
"How could I have given birth to such a stubborn prince like you!
You have the same temperament as your mother!"
Chen Hechuan suddenly looked up and stared at Emperor Rongcheng.
But Emperor Rongcheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and didn't even see his eyes.
He forgot that Emperor Rongcheng had also knelt on the ground like this and begged his father to fulfill his wish.
His father at that time did not agree, just like Emperor Rongcheng at this time.
"I'm doing this for your own good now!"
"She's just a woman. How can she be as important as this great kingdom?"
"When you sit in my position, what kind of woman can't you get?"
"What's more, this deep palace can really change a woman who is so unbridled and ostentatious."
Emperor Rongcheng sighed, and his mind couldn't help but think of Jiang Xianhao back then.
She loves that smile so much, it is always so bright and unrestrained.
But now, all that was left to him was a face that couldn't be calmer, and a pair of eyes that had once been wild and flamboyant were no longer filled with ripples.
However, Shen Hechuan refuted firmly:
"Father, I am different from you. Since I promised her, I will not let her down."
These words successfully made Emperor Rongcheng furious.
"You mean, I betrayed your mother?"
Chen Hechuan looked at him without saying a word, but his seriousness was obvious.
Emperor Rongcheng closed his eyes, his chest heaving. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and without caring about anything else, he just shouted loudly.
"Come here, put this rebellious son who disobeyed my order into prison."
So, on the day of the banquet, the crown prince Chen Hechuan was thrown into prison by Emperor Rongcheng.
Prince Rui, who was originally bored in the prison, immediately became interested when he saw Chen Hechuan coming in.
"Hey, isn't this our Crown Prince?
Why are you here too? Did you come here to keep me company because I'm so relaxed here?
Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan first looked at the dilapidated prison in front of him that was full of plague, and then looked at the cell of Prince Rui that was clean and tidy and had everything he needed.
He paused and immediately looked at the jailer beside him.
The other party was also sensible, and he immediately understood Shen Hechuan's thoughts at a glance.
After all, one is the crown prince and the other is Prince Rui. He is very clear about who he should help.
He bent down and immediately opened the prison door on King Rui's side.
Upon seeing this, Prince Rui immediately stood up.
"What? Father is going to let me go?"
The cell door opened, and Prince Rui immediately walked out with a look of joy on his face.
And Chen Hechuan walked in slowly.
When the prison door was closed, Shen Hechuan was seen lying on the gold-woven bed of Prince Rui.
Prince Rui was stunned for just a moment before he was taken to the next room.
The prison door was closed again, and Prince Rui finally reacted.
He looked at the tattered bed and wet hay in front of him and immediately started cursing in anger.
"Chen Hechuan, you bastard, that's my cell, why do you occupy it?"
"Get up, that's my place!
My bed is woven with gold, and my cabinets are also made of heavy gold. I don’t want to stay in such a dilapidated place like yours...ah..."
“There are rats here.”
