Chapter 186 Leaving the Palace
Qin Mulan's incident made the people feel sorry.
However, her integrity made the people admire her.
Her previous poems were also dug up and were sought after by some people.
There were even teahouses and restaurants that made up a dramatic story about her, which spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dacheng and she was highly respected.
Concubine Hui finally woke up, and after hearing the news, she almost fainted again.
Fortunately, although Prince Rui looked in critical condition, his life was not in danger. After being treated by the imperial physician, he was soon out of danger.
But the cut-off finger made him irritable and restless, and he wanted to kill Shen Hechuan right away to vent his anger.
Although there was no evidence, he was certain that Shen Hechuan was definitely involved in this matter.
But at this time, Shen Hechuan was also confused.
He was really curious about who had the ability to injure Prince Rui so badly right under his nose.
He also created a rift between Prince Rui and Gu Weiang, but in the end he was able to escape unscathed without leaving any trace.
So, after the incident happened, he immediately ordered people to investigate secretly, but no useful information has been found until now.
While in prison, Gu Weiang went over everything in his mind, and only then did he realize that both he and Prince Rui had been set up.
Their purpose was to alienate the relationship between him and King Rui.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted that he wanted to see Concubine Hui, but no one in the entire cell was willing to pay attention to him.
This made him think of Qin Mulan again.
He really couldn't imagine that a thin woman like Qin Mulan would be such an important part of this plan.
This instantly dissipated the guilt in his heart and gave rise to a bit of hatred.
After figuring out the key to the matter, he calmed down.
Because he believed that with Concubine Hui's intelligence, she would definitely find the key soon.
However, he never expected that his lower body would begin to feel severe discomfort.
******
Gu Wei'ang had a good idea. After making sure that Prince Rui was out of danger, Concubine Hui quickly figured out the key to the matter.
Even though she now has resentment towards Gu Weiang.
But she also knew that they were weak now, and if they wanted to accomplish anything in the future, they would inevitably have to rely on Gu Wei'ang's power.
So, after she figured it out, she immediately begged Emperor Rongcheng to release Gu Weiang.
Although Concubine Hui moved quickly, it was still a little slow for Gu Weiang.
Because at this time his lower body had begun to fester.
After he was released from prison, although he immediately sought medical treatment from the imperial physician, it was too late.
The imperial physician looked at the condition of his lower body and could only shake his head. After explaining the seriousness of the situation, he sighed and helped Gu Weiang remove it.
It was only at this time that Gu Weiang realized what Qin Mulan had brought him.
Although the matter was kept secret, it still got out.
So, even though no one said it, everyone knew that Gu Weiang was already a useless person at this time.
After this day, life seemed to calm down again.
Like the precursor to a storm, the sea was calm and peaceful.
Concubine Hui has been taking care of Prince Rui's health.
Because he had lost a finger, Prince Rui was so angry that he cursed and threw things every day.
Gu Jingchun has been staying in the East Palace, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
Emperor Rongcheng also seemed calm.
Every day he would go to Jiang Xianhao's place for dinner, and then go to Concubine Hui to check on Prince Rui's condition.
He was now very disappointed with King Rui, who had even abolished all his official positions. If it weren't for his serious injuries, he would probably have been beaten with a stick.
Afterwards, he would return to Wanhe Hall and call Chen Hechuan to discuss matters.
Looking at Chen Hechuan's calm appearance, Emperor Rongcheng couldn't help but feel dazed.
He did not find any evidence to prove that Shen Hechuan was responsible for the incident involving Prince Rui, but this incident was most beneficial to Shen Hechuan.
If this was really done by Shen Hechuan, then it means that his power has reached the point where he can do it without even noticing it.
This suddenly made him feel a little alert and a sense of crisis.

In the East Palace.
However, Shen Hechuan frowned slightly as he looked at the information he had just found out.
"You said you didn't find out the other party's identity?"
Tianji immediately knelt down in shame.
"I am ashamed."
"The other party's identity is too secretive. I really can't find out their identity. However, I suspect they are the same group as the last time."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
As early as when the incident happened, he guessed that the other party must be the one who designed to sue Gu Weiang.
He was just curious about who the other party was and how he could plan such a big thing under his nose without leaving any trace.
Jingyu Palace.
Naturally, everything that happened during this period reached Jiang Xianhao's ears.
However, she thought that this was done by Shen Hechuan and sighed lightly.
This incident has severely damaged Concubine Hui's vitality, and I am afraid that Concubine Hui will counterattack.
"I must be more careful in the future and make sure she doesn't catch me."
Jingtan and Yunshu immediately nodded in agreement.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, an incredible rumor was quietly spreading in the palace.
Time flies, and a few days have passed, and the New Year is approaching.
Heavy snow fell, and the entire palace was covered with snow.
Gu Jingchun stood under the eaves, looking at the falling snow, his thoughts drifting away.
Surprisingly, a year has passed so quickly.
At the beginning of the year, she escaped from Da Qi and traveled all the way back to Tiandu. She wanted to return to Yong'an Marquis Mansion to seek revenge and use the power of Yong'an Marquis Mansion to gain a certain amount of power.
Unexpectedly, he was involved in the disputes in the court.
At this time, Princess Rongyang's cheerful voice came over.
"Sister Jingchun, are you going to leave the palace?"
"Leaving the palace?"
Gu Jingchun repeated it, then she remembered that she had not left the palace for a long time since she entered it.
Princess Rongyang nodded.
"Yes, let's go out of the palace and have some fun at the market in Tiandu."
"Let me tell you, the market in Tiandu is the most fun when it's close to Spring Festival."
"There are lanterns, acrobatics, and all kinds of fun little things."
"You haven't been there?"
Gu Jingchun nodded when he heard that.
“Well, I haven’t been there.”
"Then let's go ask the prince to take us out to play, okay?"
Gu Jingchun smiled and nodded. She knew that this must be Princess Rongyang's little thought, but she also wanted to leave the palace to see Ye Wenxi, so she simply let her go.
When Princess Rongyang saw that Gu Jingchun agreed, she immediately went to find Chen Hechuan happily.
Originally, Luo Ziqian agreed to take her to the market, but Chen Hechuan stopped her and wouldn't let her go out. She had no choice but to come here to find Gu Jingchun.
