Chapter 222: Eloped?
"Are you all fools?"
"I told you not to give me the news, so you really won't give it to me?"
Tianji paused for a moment before realizing that Chen Hechuan was talking about the news from Gu Jingchun, and hurried to find the news sent by the people below.
However, when he saw the message in his hand, his expression changed.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Shen Hechuan looked up.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Tianji's expression, he looked up as if he sensed something.
Tianji swallowed his saliva fearfully, then said:
"Your Highness, Miss Gu left the city on the night she returned home!"
"What!"
Shen Hechuan stood up immediately, and his first reaction was that Gu Jingchun had lied to him again.
I just got back and he ran away again!
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"Where did she go?"
Tianji: “I don’t know yet…”
Tianji said and immediately added: "However, Miss Gu left with that person named Ye Wenxi."
"They brought a lot of stuff with them, and the two maids and the young master followed them."
Shen Hechuan frowned tightly, and upon hearing that, anger burst out in an instant!
"You said, with whom?!"
"That...that...good-looking scholar beside Miss Gu..."
After saying this, seeing that Chen Hechuan's eyes were about to spit fire, he quickly explained:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although we didn't tell you the news of Miss Gu's departure right away, our people have been following them the entire time."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan sneered.
"Should I praise you guys?"
Tianji shook his head like a rattle.
Shen Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask:
"Is there any movement from Tianjing Trading Company?"
Tianji shook his head.
"No, everything is normal."
Shen Hechuan asked again and confirmed that Gu Jingchun did not take away all the things, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tianji saw that Chen Hechuan's expression had improved a little, and continued to explain.
"Although, Miss Gu left with Ye Wenxi."
"However, I suspect they definitely did not elope together."
"After all, the young master is your child. How could they elope with your son?"
With just one sentence, Shen Hechuan's face turned green instantly.
He gave Tianji a cold look.
That glance was like an ice knife, which made Tianji silent instantly and dared not say anything more.
"Wherever the people are, count a few of them and chase them immediately."
Tianji looked up suddenly when he heard this, and no longer cared about Chen Hechuan's anger, and immediately advised:
"Your Highness, you cannot leave Tiandu now."
"Prince Rui hasn't given up yet and is waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.
If you leave now, it will definitely provoke a counterattack from King Rui, and it might even end in disaster."
"Even for your own life, you can't go to Tiandu right now! No accidents can happen at this time."
"As for Miss Gu, you can rest assured that our people have been following her all the time and will report any news to her at any time."
"Besides, Miss Gu has been gone for several days. Even if you gallop, you probably won't be able to catch up with her now."
But Shen Hechuan made up his mind.
"Then ride a fast horse and travel day and night. You will surely catch up with her soon."
"She left suddenly this time. She must have encountered some accident. How can I stay out of it?"
As he spoke, he made arrangements for everything.
"Bring a few more people."
"We need to send more people to the Queen's side to ensure her safety."
Tianji nodded, and Chen Hechuan said again.
"I've announced to the public that I'm feeling unwell and will be staying out of the house from now on."
After Chen Hechuan finished speaking, he looked at the sky in the distance which was gradually getting dark, and then he said the last sentence.
"Pack up and leave immediately."
That night, Chen Hechuan and his men quietly left Tiandu.
The second day.
In Shou'an Palace.
The Queen Mother had just woken up when she received news from Shen Hechuan.
After reading the contents of the letter, the Queen Mother immediately stood up.
“Nonsense!”
She was so angry that she slammed the letter in her hand on the table and couldn't help cursing.
"A crown prince of a country is actually acting so recklessly.
If he chases after her like this, what will he do if something unexpected happens on the way?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li couldn't help but give some advice.
"Your Highness, this is not just for Miss Gu, but also for the little grandson.
After all, Miss Gu is a woman, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be worried about her being out with a child."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed again.
There are no secrets in the palace. What Gu Jinxi had said to Emperor Rongcheng before soon reached the ears of the empress dowager.
"Jinxi is a very opinionated child. He's so young and yet he can say such things. Now he insists on leaving the palace. It's clear that his temper is exactly the same as Hechuan's."
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but have a headache.
Chen Hechuan is gone now, but she still has to deal with the affairs in the palace.
At this time, on another remote path.
The rain came down in torrents.
Ye Wenxi sat on the horse and felt that the vision in front of him was becoming more and more blurred.
But at this moment, Gu Jingchun's carriage got stuck in the mud.
The groom kept whipping the horse and the horse kept moving forward.
But it still couldn't move at all.
Seeing this, Ye Wenxi dismounted and ordered his men to come behind Gu Jingchun's carriage and push it hard.
But the rain was too heavy.
The rain kept pouring into my eyes and mouth.
Even if everyone used all their strength, they could not move it at all.
On the contrary, because of this action, the pit under the wheel became bigger and bigger, and because of the rainwater pouring in, the wheel kept slipping.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun, who was sitting in the carriage, immediately took Lan Xin out of the carriage, leaving only Gu Jinxi sitting in the carriage.
The rain is too heavy.
Even though Gu Jingchun opened his umbrella immediately after getting off the bus, his clothes were still wet in an instant.
Seeing this, Ye Wenxi couldn't help but step forward and shouted in a louder voice, "What are you doing here?"
"It's too cold, don't go up yet."
Gu Jinxi shook his head, took a step forward, and spoke into Ye Wenxi's ear.
"The carriage is too heavy. If I get off, it will be easier for you to push it."
Because the sound of the rain was so loud, we had to get closer if we wanted to hear each other talking.
It is still early spring now. Although the weather here is much warmer than the sky, the rain is still cold.
When it fell on her, she felt her whole body tremble, and even her voice trembled slightly.
Ye Wenxi had keenly noticed the trembling in Gu Jingchun's voice. He glanced at her first, then nodded, and immediately returned to the back of the carriage and ordered:
"Brothers, work harder, listen to my instructions, and let's work together."
As he spoke, everyone followed Ye Wenxi's instructions and exerted their strength together.
