Chapter 29: Meeting Again
"Mother, where are you going?"
Gu Jingchun looked at her with a cold look in his eyes, which made Chu Qianlan shudder.
But Chu Qianlan is still full of anger.
"You little bitch, you actually dared to appear before me? I haven't settled my score with you yet!"
"What on earth are you thinking?"
"I gave you thirty thousand taels of silver, and now you dare to replace it with something else and hang the pendant around Yunjin's neck. I think you are... uh..."
Chu Qianlan suddenly stopped talking, and a hand suddenly grabbed her neck, making her unable to make any sound.
"Mother, I advise you to keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to know that the Third Prince fell in love with your adopted daughter because of the puppy pendant you prepared for her?"
Gu Jingchun looked at Chu Qianlan with eyes full of coldness and threats.
"To plot against the prince is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Can you bear the consequences?"
Chu Qianlan was confused.
She stared at Gu Jingchun, a little angry at first, and shouted.
"How dare you! How dare you..."
However, as her breathing became more and more difficult, Chu Qianlan could no longer utter the remaining two words.
She pushed Gu Jingchun's hands with both hands, trying to break her hands free, but she couldn't move them at all.
In the end, she could only look at Gu Jingchun pleadingly.
"I don't have time to talk to you about this nonsense now."
There was ruthlessness in Gu Jingchun's voice.
"What did you do to my son?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Qianlan's expression changed and his eyes became panicked in an instant.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun immediately let go of her, took a step back, and looked at her coldly.
Chu Qianlan was finally able to breathe, and immediately sat on the ground and started coughing violently.
Her cheeks flushed, and after she regained her breathing, she immediately looked at Gu Jingchun.
"How dare you kill your mother!"
Seeing that Chu Qianlan didn't say anything, Gu Jingchun directly signaled Lan Xin beside him.
Lan Xin immediately took off a bracelet from her hand, gently turned the mechanism, and it immediately turned into a dagger, and finally pressed it against Chu Qianlan's neck.
"I ask you, what have you done to my son?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan suddenly raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Your son?"
"I guess he has gone to see the King of Hell now!"
"This is what you get for plotting against Yunjin. Do you think that this Yong'an Marquis Mansion is your former countryside, a place where you can do whatever you want?"
"Here, whoever has the power has the final say. People like you who have no ability and no foundation should just obey."
"I am your mother after all. Even if I don't like you, I will arrange everything for you, but you just don't listen."
"Well, this is what happens when you disobey!"
As Chu Qianlan was speaking, she saw Gu Jingchun, who had been relatively calm, suddenly step forward and grab her neck again.
"I'll ask you again, where is my son?"
If Gu Jingchun could still allow Chu Qianlan to breathe at the beginning, now he has really killed her.
Chu Qianlan felt difficulty breathing, and her face turned from red to blue and then to white in an instant.
Her movements also changed from struggling at the beginning to begging.
She spoke with difficulty, wanting to beg Gu Jingchun, but found that she could not make a sound.
Moreover, she saw a strong murderous intent in Gu Jingchun's eyes.
She was now certain that she really wanted to kill herself.
The feeling of being on the verge of death made Chu Qianlan barely make a sound.
"He...is not dead..."
These three faint words made Gu Jingchun let go of Chu Qianlan.
Chu Qianlan did not dare to delay this time and said directly: "He is... not dead yet."
Chu Qianlan's throat was hoarse and painful, but she didn't care about anything now and hurried to explain.
"I ordered the steward to send him to the farm outside the city. I had no intention of killing him."
Chu Qianlan calculated the time.
She had instructed Butler Li at the time to wait until everything was settled before taking action.
She is still in the palace and no other news has been leaked. I guess he hasn't taken action yet!
Gu Jingchun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
She stood up and gave a cold order.
"Go tell the Queen Mother to leave the palace immediately."
When Chu Qianlan heard this, she did not dare to hesitate. She immediately tidied her clothes and prepared to go find the empress dowager.
However, looking at her neck which was obviously red, Lan Xin reluctantly took out a small box from her sleeve and applied it on her neck.
Soon, Chu Qianlan's neck returned to normal.
And her skin was so delicate, better than any she had before.
If the situation wasn't special, Chu Qianlan would have wanted to ask Gu Jingchun for this thing.
The Queen Mother lost interest today because of the matter between the Third Prince and Gu Yunjin.
Later, although Chu Qianlan knelt down and apologized, she said with certainty that the matter had nothing to do with her.
However, the Queen Mother had been in the palace for many years, so how could she not see through Qian Lan's little tricks?
She wanted to punish her.
But Chu Qianlan is a noble lady after all. No matter how powerful the tactics in the harem are, they cannot hurt her as a wife of an official.
Considering Emperor Rongcheng's reaction when he left, he must have already come up with a plan to deal with it.
In that case, she simply put it aside for the time being and let Chu Qianlan float for a while longer.
It would also give her a chance to fall from a great height.
Therefore, when Chu Qianlan asked to leave the palace early because she was not feeling well, the Queen Mother immediately agreed.
He also gave her some special advice, asking her to pay more attention to rest.
This had other meanings in the eyes of everyone.
Those who are short-sighted cannot help but sigh in their hearts that the status of the Yong'an Marquis is really unshakable.
Even though this happened, the Queen Mother did not punish her in the slightest.
However, when those who have plans for success see this, they can't help but sigh in their hearts.
"I'm afraid the fate of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is about to end."
After paying their respects to the Queen Mother, the group left Shoukang Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs.
However, Gu Yunjin took some effort to escape.
The third prince held her tightly the entire time and refused to let go.
In the end, the Queen Mother scolded him and ordered someone to take the puppy pendant off Gu Yunjin's neck and put it on the third prince's neck. Only then did he let go.
Gu Yunjin was free and didn't care about anything. She immediately hid in Chu Qianlan's arms and quickly left Shoukang Palace.
After leaving the palace, the crying Gu Yunjin was helped into the carriage.
Chu Qianlan originally wanted to follow, but Gu Jingchun directly pulled Chu Qianlan onto a carriage.
The carriage began to move slowly.
Almost at the same time, the sound of galloping horses was heard in the distance.
Shen Hechuan came galloping over on his horse.
When he arrived at the palace gate, he jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the imperial guards guarding the gate, and subconsciously looked towards the carriage that had just left.
