Chapter 353: The Witch Who Brings Trouble to the Nation
"That's it."
Gu Jingchun looked over immediately and saw that it was right next to the river, with tall bushes next to it and a tall rockery behind the bushes.
Gu Jingchun speculated that someone might be hiding behind the bushes, and after capturing Gu Jinxi, he might escape by water.
And the rockery may be a cover.
When Gu Jingchun thought of this, he immediately ran over to check what was going on.
Just as she walked behind the bushes and was about to check the water surface, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind.
A second before she fainted, Gu Jingchun saw the frightened little eunuch looking at her fiercely and decisively, then the hand that was covering her nose became fierce and exerted force again.
And what Gu Jingchun expected was correct, this was indeed a good place to hide people.
After the young eunuch knocked Gu Jingchun unconscious, he immediately took her behind the rockery and hid her.
After everyone here left, he took her away quietly.
And where Gu Jingchun had originally stood, only a scattered food box was left.
Wanhe Hall.
Shen Hechuan is handling government affairs.
Gu Jinxi also came over to look at the memorial.
When they saw one of them, they both frowned.
That appearance and expression were as if they were carved from the same mold.
Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jinxi's appearance and wanted to test him, so he asked him.
"What do you think is wrong with this memorial?"
Gu Jinxi's little face wrinkled.
"This minister seems to be praising you, Father, for not fearing the threat from Da Qi and promoting the prestige of our Dacheng nation.
But implicitly, he was reminding you of my mother's origins, so that you wouldn't be too partial to her, lest it affect your wisdom."
After Gu Jinxi finished speaking, Shen Hechuan handed another letter to Gu Jinxi.
"How about you take a look at this memorial?"
After reading it, Gu Jinxi's face wrinkled even more.
"This memorial states that, given my status, I cannot stay in Wanhe Hall to discuss matters."
After Gu Jinxi finished speaking, her face became round and round, and she was obviously angry.
"Angry?"
Shen Hechuan asked him.
Gu Jinxi shook his head.
"Angry, but I don't blame them."
Gu Jinxi spoke word by word.
"Because they don't know the truth, they don't know that I am your biological child. As a minister, their concerns are correct."
"So, they're right."
"Dad, not only should you not blame them, but you should remember them and understand that they are indeed our great success."
Chen Hechuan didn't expect that Gu Jinxi, at such a young age, had such good insights.
He was sure that in time, Gu Jinxi would grow up to be a wise emperor.
He smiled with relief.
"Xi'er is right. If these ministers knew that you were speaking for them like this, they would definitely feel guilty for saying this about you."
As he was speaking, Tianji came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible. I don't know what's going on, but rumors are circulating that you, despite the advice of your ministers, brought the young prince into the Council Hall to discuss matters, intending to expose the young prince to state affairs."
"This incident has caused dissatisfaction among the people. They are all calling Miss Gu a witch who is causing trouble for the country and misleading the emperor, causing chaos in the court."
"That's pure nonsense!"
Shen Hechuan shouted angrily and stood up immediately.
Tianji looked at his angry face and couldn't help but take a step back. He lowered his voice and continued to speak.
"Now the ministers have also received the news and are heading to Wanhe Hall!"
"presumptuous!"
Shen Hechuan angrily scolded, “Are these ministers all fools?”
"They were led astray by a few words from others, and now they dare to come and fool me. I think they are obviously tired of living."
When these ministers arrived at Wanhe Hall, they were naturally severely scolded by Shen Hechuan.
Unfortunately, this did not wake them up. Instead, it made them more convinced that Chen Hechuan was bewitched by Gu Jingchun, and they were still defending Gu Jingchun even at this time.
Therefore, after the ministers returned, they gathered together and prepared to continue writing letters tomorrow, asking Chen Hechuan to stay away from Gu Jingchun, and promised not to let Gu Jinxi get involved in government affairs, so as not to confuse the royal bloodline.
After scolding the minister, Chen Hechuan was still not satisfied. He walked back and forth in the hall several times before he felt a little better.
Gu Jinxi just sat there obediently until Chen Hechuan calmed down, then he started to remind him:
"Dad, it's getting late. We should hurry up and find Mom to eat. She's definitely not going to be able to wait any longer at this hour."
When Chen Hechuan heard this, he realized that it was already past lunchtime, and he hurried with Gu Jinxi to Yong'an Palace where Gu Jingchun was.
When he sees Gu Jingchun today, he must have a good talk with her about this matter and remind her not to get angry and not to argue with these ministers.
In the future, he will definitely give those ministers a good slap in the face.
However, it was not until they arrived at Yong'an Palace that they realized something was wrong.
Lan Xin saw that the two of them looked confused.
"Didn't the young lady go to the front hall early today?"
"When I went there, I even brought a lunch box with me!"
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he felt a panic in his heart.
"She didn't come to Wanhe Hall today."
Speaking of this, Chen Hechuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Without any pause, he stood up immediately.
"Someone come!"
He shouted.
"Now, lock the palace gates immediately and search for Gu Jingchun's whereabouts with all your strength."
Soon, Tianji came to report that just three hours ago, a young eunuch saw Gu Jingchun heading towards the Imperial Garden.
After Chen Hechuan learned the news, he immediately went to the Imperial Garden.
The young eunuchs in the imperial garden were kneeling on the ground. One of them hurriedly explained when he saw Chen Hechuan coming.
"Your Majesty, Princess Rongyang lost a hairpin in the Imperial Garden yesterday, so today we servants are searching for it."
"During that time, the servants did see Miss Gu coming over. But at the time, she was with a young eunuch and was also looking for something, so the servants just greeted her and didn't say much, nor did they look at her for long."
"As for when Miss Gu left, we really don't know!"
However, Shen Hechuan immediately discovered the clue.
"Do you still remember what that little eunuch looked like?"
The eunuch thought about it and nodded immediately.
"Remember."
"That young eunuch usually works in the Imperial Garden."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately said: “Lead the way and go find him.
However, when Chen Hechuan and others went to look for the eunuch, they could not find him anywhere.
Now, Shen Hechuan was certain that Gu Jingchun must have disappeared with the little eunuch.
For this reason, Gu Jingchun returned to the Imperial Garden and found the scattered food box in the bushes of the Imperial Garden.
