Chapter 297 She Fell Asleep
When Gu Jingchun was subconsciously protected by Chen Hechuan behind him, he looked at his back with some surprise.
Over the years, she has always been at the forefront, protecting others.
Now he is being protected subconsciously by Shen Hechuan.
This feeling...is not bad!
She felt warm in her heart, and at this moment she heard Gu Erli's name.
Gu Erli?
She couldn't help but stick her head out from behind Shen Hechuan and look at the man kneeling on the ground.
Gu Jingchun knew that Gu Weiang had an older son, but he was stationed at the border all year round. He could be said to be a "hostage" held by Emperor Rongcheng in order to stabilize Marquis Yong'an.
In his previous life, Gu Jingchun had never seen Gu Erli until his death.
The rebellion of Marquis Yong'an clearly meant that he had abandoned Gu Erli.
Unexpectedly, Gu Erli secretly returned to Beijing at this critical moment, and even killed his own father in front of everyone for the sake of justice.
This action of his directly exempted himself from the death penalty, and neither Shen Hechuan nor Emperor Rongcheng could kill him.
Extremely smart and ruthless enough.
He solved his own deadlock with just one move, which made Gu Jingchun look at him with admiration.
I just don't know whether this Gu Erli is an enemy or a friend.
At this point, all those who rebelled and participated in the rebellion were imprisoned.
Shen Hechuan counted the number of people and cleaned the palace.
The next day, when the officials came to court, the room looked brand new, with no trace of fighting.
This day.
Emperor Rongcheng stayed in Jingyu Palace to guard Jiang Xianhao and was determined not to leave.
So, Shen Hechuan presided over the morning court himself for the first time.
At the morning court session, regarding yesterday's rebellion, the accomplices were eliminated and rewards were given according to their merits.
The third day.
Chen Hechuan gritted his teeth and prepared to forcibly bury Jiang Xianhao.
For this reason, Emperor Rongcheng was furious and drove everyone out.
"roll!"
"The Queen is just asleep. If any of you dare to disturb her rest, I will chop you down."
Everyone was trembling with fear and didn't dare to get close.
As a last resort, he could only ask Shen Hechuan for help.
Chen Hechuan has been very busy these three days.
All kinds of things weighed on him, leaving him no time to think about anything that was not related to state affairs.
I heard that Emperor Rongcheng had driven everyone out.
Shen Hechuan rubbed his brows and sighed softly.
"I'll go and take a look."
Chen Hechuan stood up and stepped into Jingyu Palace for the first time since returning from Qi County.
Jingyu Palace was the same as before, just as it was before Chen Hechuan left, quiet and beautiful.
Chen Hechuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, as if he could see Jiang Xianhao sitting in the pavilion and calling him softly.
At this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed in Chen Hechuan for the past few days suddenly burst out, his eyes turned red, and he silently shed tears.
When Gu Jingchun learned that Chen Hechuan had come to Jingyu Palace, he rushed over immediately.
He found Chen Hechuan standing at the gate of the courtyard crying sadly, so he hurried forward, held his hand and comforted him softly.
Chen Hechuan turned his head and saw Gu Jingchun. He immediately leaned over and hugged Gu Jingchun in his arms, burying his face in her shoulder and crying silently.
"Jingchun..."
He called her.
"I am here."
"I don't have a mother anymore."
Gu Jingchun gently touched his hair and sighed silently.
"It doesn't matter, you still have me."
"I'll stay with you."
"If we could have returned earlier... if I had given up this worthless position of Crown Prince earlier and taken you back to the mountains, would Mother have been able to survive?"
Gu Jingchun also knew everything that happened to Jiang Xianhao before his death, and guessed that Jiang Xianhao was paving the way for Shen Hechuan.
He also understood that even if Chen Hechuan had not gone to Qi County, Jiang Xianhao's body would not last long.
Her heart was filled with regret. She respected and admired Jiang Xianhao, and could not help but continue to comfort him:
"Tsurukawa, don't regret it. There are no ifs or nots. We should always look forward to everything. Life doesn't have that many opportunities."
"Even if we leave early, you'll still regret it."
"Then you will regret not saving the millions of people who are suffering."
"You'll regret not using your power to help more people."
"Do your job. You... did the right thing."
Gu Jingchun felt the warmth on his shoulder and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Your mother loves you very much."
"She knows what your path is, so she will pave the way for you at the end of her life."
"Death, for her, is not a relief."
"This palace was a prison for her. She fought for many years, but in the end, she gave it her all for you."
Gu Jingchun's voice was trembling as he spoke.
"So, don't be sad, Hechuan. You must continue to follow your mother's path. Only in this way can you not let her down."
When Shen Hechuan heard this, his emotions surged.
Memories kept flooding my mind.
In his memory, Jiang Xianhao has always been indifferent and peaceful.
However, every time he sneaked into Jiang Xianhao's yard, he could see Jiang Xianhao in the yard.
Moreover, wherever Jiang Xian sits, there are always a few plates of snacks.
Sometimes it’s osmanthus cake, sometimes it’s chestnut cake.
But without exception, they are all very delicious.
When you eat it, it is usually still hot.
In the past, Chen Hechuan was young and didn’t understand.
Now that I think about it, these were probably prepared specially for him by Jiang Xianhao.
And now, he could no longer eat any food prepared by his mother.
Chen Hechuan hugged Gu Jingchun and couldn't hold back any longer, sobbing out loud.
Gu Jingchun hugged him and patted his back gently, silently giving him strength.
Half an hour later, Shen Hechuan had calmed down.
His expression returned to its cold and hard state, and apart from the red circles under his eyes, there was no sign of crying.
Gu Jingchun looked at Shen Hechuan.
It seemed that overnight, the gentleness in Chen Hechuan's eyes had faded, and his eyes were now covered with a depth like a cold pond.
It was like a dusty sword, but now it had been washed clean of its impurities and was now emitting a cold light.
The coldness he unintentionally exuded made people dare not look directly at him. Only when facing Gu Jingchun could he show all his tenderness.
He looked at Gu Jingchun with a bit more determination in his eyes.
Then, he took Gu Jingchun into Jiang Xianhao's room.
At this time, it is approaching the hot summer and the weather is getting hotter.
However, the room was indeed cold.
Gu Jingchun stood at the door. After he got used to the dark light in the room, he saw that the room was now full of ice.
Jiang Xianhao's bed has been replaced with a huge "ice bed".
Jiang Xianhao was lying quietly on the ice bed with his eyes closed.
Emperor Rongcheng sat beside the bed, holding her hand and talking to her non-stop.
Chen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun walked over, but he seemed unaware and just kept rubbing Jiang Xianhao's fingers.
