Chapter 300: Siege of the Eastern Palace
When Dexi heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground to persuade Emperor Rongcheng.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Prince Rui has just rebelled, and we are severely weakened. The entire garrison has suffered countless casualties."
"During this period of time, it is thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that we have been able to stabilize the court as quickly as possible. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is punished at this time, it would probably be detrimental to the court."
"I don't care!"
Emperor Rongcheng roared like a madman.
"I only want my Ah Hao!"
"He killed my Ah Hao, so I want him to be buried with Ah Hao!"
That night.
The Imperial Guards directly surrounded the Eastern Palace where the Crown Prince was.
This caused the imperial city, which had just calmed down, to fall into shock again.
The palace maids and eunuchs were trembling with fear. The brave ones had already packed their bags and wanted to leave.
And this news reached the ears of some officials in the fastest time.
At this time, Chen Hechuan was sitting in the study, concentrating on handling official business.
During this period of time, Shen Hechuan has been like this, busy until late at night, and Gu Jingchun rarely sees him.
Gu Jingchun knew that Chen Hechuan wanted to use these political affairs to numb himself, and he also wanted to work harder so as not to let Jiang Xianhao down.
However, human energy is limited. If this continues, even if Shen Hechuan has a body of iron, he will not be able to withstand it.
So, today she knocked on the door with a food box and stepped into Chen Hechuan's study.
When Chen Hechuan saw Gu Jingchun come in, his tense expression immediately became much better.
"Why are you here?"
He put down the brush, stood up immediately and took the food box from Gu Jingchun.
"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but glance at him and said, "I'm afraid you'll die of exhaustion in this study, so I came here to give you something."
Chen Hechuan chuckled when he heard this.
"I'm not tired. I'll take a rest after reading these few pieces."
As he spoke, he pulled Gu Jingchun to sit down.
"I'm sorry to cause you to worry about me."
Gu Jingchun nodded, "Since you know I miss you, why don't you go to bed early."
As she spoke, she opened the lunch box and took out a bowl of hot noodles.
"Try it, how does it taste?"
Shen Hechuan showed surprise.
"Did you make this yourself?"
Gu Jingchun didn't answer, but urged: "Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Chen Hechuan had not eaten anything today, but now his appetite was very good, and he finished the food in just a few bites.
In the end, there was not even any soup left.
"It tastes delicious. Did you make it yourself?"
When Gu Jingchun saw him finish eating, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hearing Shen Hechuan's question, she shook her head.
"It wasn't me who made it. It was the cook in your palace who made it."
"I found that this cook's skills are quite good."
In fact, when Gu Jingchun entered the kitchen, he originally planned to cook for Shen Hechuan himself.
But the cook was a diligent one. Perhaps she understood that Gu Jingchun was the apple of Shen Hechuan's eye, so she was very enthusiastic and refused to let Gu Jingchun do anything. She quickly made a bowl of noodles and handed it to Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun didn't say much and took it with a smile.
I heard that this cook has been in the palace for many years, and she used to cook for the ladies in the palace.
I'm afraid that in his impression, the so-called cooking of ladies is done in this way.
So Gu Jingchun just went along with her.
However, after Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he saw that Shen Hechuan's eyes dimmed in an instant.
Gu Jingchun saw what he was thinking and explained patiently.
"This time, time was too tight and I didn't have time to prepare it. Next time, I will definitely make it for you myself."
Shen Hechuan nodded and held Gu Jingchun in his arms. Only then did he feel alive again.
"Jingchun, thank you. I have neglected you during this period of time."
Gu Jingchun had also experienced the pain of losing her mother not long ago, so she understood Chen Hechuan's feelings and could only try her best to comfort him.
This comfort also brought more ambiguity to the two of them.
Chen Hechuan lowered his eyes, looked at Gu Jingchun's delicate eyebrows and fluttering eyelashes, and subconsciously lowered his head and pressed his lips against Gu Jingchun's lips.
The candlelight made Shen Hechuan's outline softer. His fingertips gently stroked his cheek. Her trembling eyelashes were like a butterfly flapping its wings, making Shen Hechuan even more excited.
Their breaths intertwined, and the fiery temperature gradually spread over the side of their necks.
And the moment Shen Hechuan's lips fell, Gu Jingchun raised his head and responded.
She tasted the mellow fragrance lingering on the ground and felt the tenderness of Chen Hechuan.
At first, the kiss was like a spring drizzle, so gentle that it made one's heart tremble.
But as his ten fingers tightened behind her hair, a hidden desire was hidden in the lingering strength.
She unconsciously grasped his collar, the warmth from beneath the fabric seeping through her palms, and her heartbeats clashing against their chests.
The sudden knock on the door could not cover up the two people's disordered breathing. The dust floating in the twilight seemed to be still, and at this moment it turned into a lingering aroma of wine.
At this moment, Gu Jingchun felt a tenderness she had never felt before. The two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they first met. Everything was filled with cautious tenderness, which made her heart beat faster.
At this time, the knocking on the door became louder and Tianji's voice became more anxious.
"Your Highness, this is bad, Your Highness..."
Chen Hechuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of impatience appeared on his blushing face, and he spoke in a cold voice.
"What happened?"
Tianji's voice outside the door was anxious.
"Your Highness, this is bad. His Majesty has sent people to surround the East Palace."
The two were stunned and immediately stood up in surprise.
Chen Hechuan's expression immediately turned cold and he was about to leave.
At the critical moment, Gu Jingchun held him back.
"Tsurukawa...if..."
Gu Jingchun thought about the wording.
"If things really reach a point of no return, I will support you no matter what decision you make."
Shen Hechuan understood what Gu Jingchun meant.
He patted her hand and soothed her softly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
After saying that, he left.
After Chen Hechuan left.
Lan Xincai came in hurriedly.
"Miss, I hope His Highness is alright. His Majesty's actions this time are extraordinary."
Gu Jingchun looked at the moonlight outside the door. Under the hazy moonlight, everything was covered with a hazy color.
"Nothing."
She spoke in a low voice.
"Give the order and have our people on standby at all times."
"Notify Ye Wenxi again. If necessary, do everything possible to prevent the garrison from entering the city."
******
In the East Palace.
Chen Hechuan walked over slowly.
Emperor Rongcheng was standing in the courtyard.
His hair was disheveled at this time, and he was wearing a moon-white robe. His beard was growing wildly, and even his back was hunched.
This emperor who conquered the world on the battlefield quickly aged in just a few days.
He heard the noise and turned around immediately.
