Chapter 171 Cooperation?
The two were not far apart, but neither of them said a word.
At this time, Shen Hechuan raised his head, glanced at her with cold eyes, and left a sentence.
"I won't marry you, so don't waste your time."
Situ Mingji's heart was tightly knitted together. She clutched her sleeves and sweat oozed out of her palms.
"Why?"
"You should know that marrying me is your best choice."
Chen Hechuan raised his eyes, with a strong sense of coldness and alienation in them.
"I haven't reached the point yet where I need a woman to consolidate my position."
Situ Mingji knew that Chen Hechuan was aloof and arrogant.
This is what fascinates her.
Therefore, she could give up her reserve and seek a possibility.
Situ Mingji clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.
She knew she shouldn't do this, but she didn't want to give up this only chance.
Because she likes Shen Hechuan and wants to look at him.
Just being able to look at him is enough.
So, she hesitated for a moment before tentatively saying, "Your Highness."
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, wanting to be closer to Shen Hechuan and verify her guess.
She still remembered that when she met the prince before, he was quickly covered in rashes and fainted.
She had always kept this matter deep in her heart and had never told anyone else.
What if the prince's rash was caused by touching her...
Situ Mingji slowly approached him...
However, as soon as she approached, Shen Hechuan immediately leaned back, distanced himself from Situ Mingji, and shouted angrily.
"stop."
He didn't even look at her.
"Stay away from loneliness."
Situ Mingji stood still and then spoke tentatively.
"I have come here today to discuss something with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing this, Shen Hechuan looked at her.
"What's up?"
Situ Mingji: "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no feelings for me, but my family background can be of help to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"If you are unwilling to accept my words, then I can make three agreements with you and we will be husband and wife in name only."
Situ Mingji gritted his teeth and continued, "As for other women you like, you can bring them to the East Palace. I promise I will never interfere with you."
"When the time is right, you and I can divorce. At that time, I..."
Situ Mingji paused here, and looked at Chen Hechuan with his watery eyes full of anticipation.
But Shen Hechuan sneered.
"Oh……"
He chuckled.
"You're very clever."
"Your method is very tempting."
"but……"
Shen Hechuan poured himself a cup of tea and continued:
"The woman of my Chen Hechuan will not tolerate any grievances around me. The position of Crown Princess will only belong to her. Even if it is fake, no one else can get involved."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Situ Mingji.
“I know what you are thinking.
But I don't buy your tricks, and please take back your thoughts, young lady. I will never marry you."
These words showed no mercy to Situ Mingji, and instantly made her eyes red.
Without caring about anything, she immediately covered her face and ran out.
But because he ran too fast, he bumped into someone in the yard.
The two men collided and both fell to the ground.
Gu Jingchun originally wanted to go to the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by someone as soon as he got here.
She felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and her knees hit the ground, instantly causing a burning pain.
The maid behind the two men hurried forward and helped them up.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk? What if you hit my daughter?
Which palace are you from?"
Mingyue, the maidservant beside Situ Mingji, spoke first.
Lan Xin immediately became angry when she heard this.
"You guys were the ones who hit the guy, why are you still spitting blood?"
Gu Jingchun was helped up by Lan Xin, frowning slightly, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Situ Mingji's slightly red eyes, and his gaze paused slightly.
And Situ Mingji was also looking at Gu Jingchun.
When she first heard the name Gu Jingchun, she never took him seriously.
What does it matter if a widow with a child is the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate?
The prince wouldn't even look at her.
However, she didn't expect that Shen Hechuan would actually bring her to the East Palace.
This news seemed absurd and unbelievable to her, so she hurried to the East Palace many times.
She ignored her modesty and came to see Shen Hechuan many times.
However, Shen Hechuan's attitude made her heart even heavier.
What she said to Shen Hechuan just now was both a condition and a test.
One of them is to test whether the prince has someone he likes.
At that time, Shen Hechuan did not object, and even spoke to her in such a firm tone.
So, could that person be Gu Jingchun?
This made Situ Mingji alert.
She secretly looked at Gu Jingchun and immediately scolded Mingyue beside her. Then she smiled and said:
"Girl, are you okay?"
"Just now I was walking too fast and didn't see you, so I bumped into you. My maid was eager to protect her, so I said something wrong. I hope you can forgive me."
Gu Jingchun was not the type of person who liked to care about things.
But because Mingyue's words also made him a little angry, his tone now had a bit more resentment.
"It's okay, Miss Situ, you are precious, as long as you are not hurt."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Situ Mingji frowned slightly.
This tone seems to be a little wrong.
She looked at Gu Jingchun and wanted to go forward and comfort her again.
However, at this moment, Chen Hechuan suddenly rushed over.
"What's going on?"
Shen Hechuan rushed over in a hurry.
He was about to approach Gu Jingchun, but was stopped by Gu Jingchun's eyes.
In front of Situ Mingji, even for Gu Jingchun's reputation, he didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only stand there, frowning, looking at her dirty dress.
Seeing the prince's nervous expression, Situ Mingji felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he explained calmly:
"I accidentally didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into the girl. Fortunately, I didn't hurt her, otherwise it would be my fault."
Situ Mingji's words could be said to be extremely magnanimous. After all, no young lady from an ordinary family would take these servants seriously.
She said this deliberately to gain a good reputation in front of Shen Hechuan.
However, Shen Hechuan frowned when he heard this.
"Whether there is anything wrong or not, we need to check with the imperial physician to know."
"Come here!" he said, turning to Tianji and ordering, "Go get the imperial physician."
Gu Jingchun and Situ Mingji were both shocked.
Gu Jingchun: This guy is really making a fuss out of nothing. It's just a bump, nothing serious. Now he actually wants to call a doctor?
