Chapter 285: An Ordinary Little Girl
"We just want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who helped us. Why do you want us to leave?"
"We're not leaving."
"Yes, we're not leaving."
Someone in the crowd immediately echoed this, causing the people who had begun to retreat to hesitate again.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun immediately looked at the people who were causing trouble.
She winked at the people around her, and several guards immediately flew over and pulled out those people who were mixed in the crowd.
Several people started screaming as soon as they were caught.
"Why are you arresting me? I just came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What's wrong with that?"
"Is it possible that His Royal Highness will be murdered to silence him?"
When Gu Jingchun heard this, he snorted coldly and took a step forward.
"There's nothing wrong with looking at His Royal Highness, but if there are people among them with other intentions, that's another matter."
Gu Jingchun said this and turned to the people again.
"Fellow villagers, these people are villains who have deliberately mixed up with you and are using you to harm the prince. Don't be fooled by them."
When the people heard this, they looked at each other in surprise and then started shouting.
But those people naturally denied it and immediately cried out that they were innocent.
"Bullshit! I'm just an ordinary citizen. You arrested me for no reason, and yet you're accusing me of such a crime. It's totally unfair!"
"What kind of benevolent prince is he? To me, he's just a reckless man who can't tell right from wrong."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Gu Jingchun.
"Besides, who do you think you are?"
"Why are you interrogating me?"
"It seems that the prince is not only a reckless man, but also a coward who only knows how to hide behind women."
Chen Hechuan had been looking in this direction. He frowned slightly when he heard the words, but before he could react, Gu Jingchun sneered.
"Yeah?"
She chuckled, immediately raised the sword in her hand, and stabbed it towards the man's chest.
The man did this without any pause. It was almost an instinctive reaction. He immediately broke free from the restraints and rolled over to retreat several feet.
The people were frightened by this sudden change and took a step back, and all cried out in surprise.
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"I didn't know that ordinary people could have such handsome skills."
The other party also knew that he had been exposed. He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, then shouted loudly: "The prince oppresses the people and is unfit to be an emperor."
As he said that, he attacked Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun still stood there, looking calm and not afraid at all.
Shen Hechuan behind her immediately stepped forward to block her.
The guards around him also stepped forward and fought with him immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, several more people jumped out and started pushing and attacking the people.
The people were frightened and retreated one after another.
However, there were too many people, and even if the people behind him had started to retreat, it was too late.
In a blink of an eye, the crowd became chaotic, everyone pushed and shoved each other, causing waves of chaos, screams and children's crying one after another.
Chen Hechuan quickly ordered people to evacuate the people.
Since Chen Hechuan had no guards to protect him, more people rushed towards him with weapons in hand.
Chen Hechuan responded quickly, but because he had a shoulder injury and had to keep an eye on the people, he was restricted at all times and was at a disadvantage for a while.
Gu Jingchun also knew that he could not help much here, so he immediately pulled Gu Jinxi and hid in the carriage.
Gu Jinxi was busy looking at his newly made hidden weapons to see which one could come in handy.
When the battle was in full swing, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly emerged from behind the crowd.
It was Ye Wenxi who came with his men.
After seeing the current situation, he immediately ordered people to evacuate the people.
Let the people retreat first, and then surround those people.
Soon, everyone was subdued.
Gu Jingchun stepped forward and looked at those people. Before he could say anything, he saw that they had already bitten the poison in their teeth, their heads tilted, and they were no longer able to breathe.
Gu Jingchun sighed and felt a little sorry.
Seeing this, Chen Hechuan immediately stepped forward and pulled Gu Jingchun back a step, as if he was afraid of scaring Gu Jingchun.
He then comforted her, "If they're dead, they're dead. These people are all determined to kill themselves. Even if we catch them, we won't be able to find out anything from them."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help laughing, she looked up at Chen Hechuan.
"Looking at you, you don't think I'm just an ordinary little girl."
Shen Hechuan looked at her and nodded seriously.
"Yes, in my eyes, you are just an ordinary little woman."
Gu Jingchun thought that he didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he raised his eyebrows and reminded him again.
"Don't forget, I killed a lot of people along the way."
Chen Hechuan suddenly stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"So what? This is my fault. I haven't been by your side all these years. That's why you've endured so much and experienced so much. I have no choice but to force myself to become stronger and stronger."
"But it doesn't matter. I'll be here to protect you and help you deal with everything. You just need to be an ordinary woman."
Gu Jingchun raised his head and was about to tell him that he would not change.
Then Shen Hechuan continued:
"But it's okay if you don't want to change, and it's okay if you like killing people.
No matter what you do, in my eyes, you are just an ordinary little woman who needs protection."
Shen Hechuan held Gu Jingchun in his arms and finished speaking in one breath, his words full of guilt and affection.
Gu Jingchun listened to his heartbeat and slowly hugged him tightly with both hands.
At this moment, her heart, which had been floating in the air, finally had a place to rest.

The imperial palace.
The second day.
When Emperor Rongcheng arrived at Jingyu Palace with the antidote.
Jiang Xianhao was talking to Princess Rongyang.
Princess Rongyang was initially worried about Shen Hechuan's affairs during this period of time.
Later, after the public opinion about Chen Hechuan turned around, she felt relieved.
She originally wanted to go find Luo Ziqian to play.
However, Luo Ziqian was ordered to leave the city to pick up Chen Hechuan.
So, apart from muttering messages to Luo Ziqian every day, she had nothing else to do.
She only learned today that Jiang Xianhao was poisoned. She immediately scolded Lu'er for not informing her in time, and then hurried over.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Xian sitting there fine, and he immediately threw himself into her arms.
"Mother..."
Jiang Xianhao looked at his daughter sobbing in his arms, stroked her hair gently, and comforted her softly.
"Girl, you are so old, yet you are still so reckless."
Emperor Rongcheng also came over at this time.
He looked at his only daughter and was naturally filled with joy.
"Rongyang, you're already such a grown man, yet you're still throwing yourself into your mother's arms. Hurry up and get up! Your mother isn't well yet, so don't tire her out."
