Chapter 208: Tonight, I'll Go Accompany You
It's been so long, why is there still no news?
For this plan, she put a lot of thought and money into it, and finally bribed the people in the palace.
Gu Jingchun was just an ordinary, powerless country girl. Why hadn't the problem been solved for so long?
This made her even more uneasy.
Jiang Xianhao, who was sitting next to Emperor Rongcheng, looked around but did not see Gu Jingchun, so he looked at Chen Hechuan.
Chen Hechuan also shook his head slightly.
Soon, the singing and dancing in the hall began.
The high-spirited music accompanied by the vigorous dancing quickly aroused the interest of the people present.
Just at this moment, there was suddenly a soft sound. The sound was not loud, and because it was covered by the sound of the music, it was not clear.
However, it made Shen Hechuan frown slightly.
He just stood up and walked out quietly.
Soon, the song ended.
Emperor Rongcheng's mood also improved a lot.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his hand involuntarily placed on Jiang Xianhao's hand, gently patting it a few times, and then said:
"Oh, look, it's so lively today.
How about we witness this lively occasion together every year from now on?"
Jiang Xian nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, which has created this prosperous era. This is a blessing for the people of Dacheng."
After Jiang Xianhao finished speaking, the joy on Emperor Rongcheng's face grew even brighter. He couldn't help but carefully scrutinize Jiang Xianhao, then leaned over slightly, whispered in her ear,
"Ah Hao, I heard from the imperial physician that your health has improved a lot recently...
Jiang Xianhao trembled when she heard this, and a layer of small bumps appeared all over her body, making it almost impossible for her to maintain her expression.
But at this moment she could only nod slightly.
"Yeah, it's much better now."
She lowered her head, and Emperor Rongcheng did not see the expression on her face, but just thought she was shy.
I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
So many years have passed, but I didn't expect that Jiang Xianhao is still as shy as he was when he was young.
This made him feel a little distracted, and he even put his hand on Jiang Xianhao's hand and rubbed it back and forth gently.
"I'll be there to accompany you in the evening."
Jiang Xianhao nodded, but his other hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly together. He used all his strength to force himself not to pull his hand out of his hand.
At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly rushed in.
"Your Majesty, this is bad."
Everyone looked up immediately, including Emperor Rongcheng.
Jiang Xianhao took the opportunity to pull his hand back from his hand and rubbed it back and forth unconsciously in his sleeve.
"Shou'an Palace is worried about a fire in the adjacent palace, so Her Majesty has come here specifically to let me tell Your Majesty that it's not convenient for her to come over right now."
After the young eunuch finished speaking, Emperor Rongcheng was startled at first, but then he heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not Shou'an Palace.
"Put out the fire as quickly as possible. The safety of the Empress Dowager must not be affected."
He added one more sentence after he finished speaking.
"There's nothing important to do today, so let the Queen Mother have a good rest and there's no need for her to come."
The young eunuch nodded and then hurried away to report the news.

Imperial Garden.
Just when Gu Jingchun was losing consciousness, she felt someone slowly approaching her from behind.
But just as the person behind her approached him, she suddenly turned around and shot out the hairpin in her hand, piercing the person's chest.
"puff--"
With a slight sound, the man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
At the same time, she lost all her strength and sat down on the ground helplessly.
Just at this moment, Gu Jinxi hurried over with his men.
When he saw Gu Jingchun, he immediately rushed forward.
"Mother."
Gu Jinxi threw herself into Gu Jingchun's arms.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
She felt weak just now because there was a drug on her clothes.
What she took was the antidote to the drug, which meant she would feel a little weak for now, but she would recover soon.
The Queen Mother followed Gu Jinxi all the way here, and at first she didn't quite believe what Gu Jinxi said.
However, after seeing the bodies lying on the ground, he immediately gasped.
Her cane rested directly on the ground, tapping gently.
"This is outrageous! Who has the guts to do such a thing in the palace? Go and investigate!"
After a while, Gu Jingchun's strength had almost recovered.
During this time, she heard what Gu Jinxi had experienced during this period and breathed a sigh of relief that nothing had happened.
The Queen Mother was even more surprised and frightened, so she hugged Gu Jinxi in her arms.
For this reason, in order to reassure the empress dowager, Gu Jingchun asked her to take Gu Jinxi back first.
She then picked out the fallen people one by one, found one who was still breathing, and carried him directly to the main hall.
******
In the main hall, the singing and dancing continued.
But Chen Hechuan, who was standing outside, felt that something was vaguely wrong.
Seeing that Tianji had not returned yet, he could not leave for too long, so he returned to the hall.
Not long after I came in, I saw a man walking in slowly.
She was dressed in red, with bloodstains on her face and raging anger in her eyes. She walked in slowly, causing everyone present to gasp.
And in her hand, she was holding a person, a person dressed in black and with his face covered.
When everyone saw this, no matter how dumb they were, they guessed what had happened, and their eyes looking at Gu Jingchun instantly showed a bit more sympathy.
When Gu Yunjin saw Gu Jingchun, he immediately looked up in surprise and looked at Situ Mingji first.
Situ Mingji was even more surprised.
The whole person looked pale.
She didn't expect Gu Jingchun to come back alive.
Those people are not ordinary eunuchs. With their abilities alone, they can all become perfect killers.
They have dealt with countless people in the palace over the years without revealing any flaws, but why was Gu Jingchun able to escape?
Chen Hechuan stood up nervously as soon as Gu Jingchun came in.
If Jiang Xianhao hadn't stopped him immediately, he would probably have rushed to Gu Jingchun's side.
Emperor Rongcheng frowned at Gu Jingchun, and saw Gu Jingchun throw the person in his hand to the ground, and then knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I just learned that Gu Jinxi was in danger, so I hurried out.
I didn't expect to be assassinated on the way. I luckily escaped. I hope Your Majesty will help me..."
"What!"
Before Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Emperor Rongcheng had already stood up.
After all, it was his own grandson in danger, so how could he not be nervous? He immediately sent people to investigate.
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun's bloody face and immediately ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
After doing all this, Emperor Rongcheng was even more furious and stood up in anger.
It is no small matter that an assassin has sneaked into the palace. It means that the entire palace is in danger.
