Chapter 395: Can I Catch His Majesty's Eyes?
When the Queen Mother thought of this, she began to re-examine the Jiang family and was ready to explain the matter to Chen Hechuan in detail after he returned.
We must never reuse him blindly.
So as not to put the situation in a passive position.
At this time, Jiang Chongfan had already returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered, his hunched body straightened up, and the seemingly atrophied temperament on his body disappeared in an instant, replaced by the wisdom and ruthlessness under his straight body.
The Jiang family’s mansion is very large.
After Jiang Chongfan entered, servants carrying a sedan chair immediately stopped in front of him.
Jiang Chongfan sat on it, and the servants carried him through the second gate, through a long corridor, and through an exquisite hanging flower door before stopping.
He walked down, and the butler beside him immediately came up, bent down, and helped him into the study. After they sat down, he bent down and asked in a low voice:
"I wonder, Master, did your visit to the palace go smoothly this time?"
Jiang Chongfan nodded.
"Well enough."
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, and the butler asked again.
"Have you seen His Majesty?"
Jiang Chongfan shook his head.
"No."
"I did see the child."
"Prince?"
"Um."
He nodded glumly.
"He's young, but he looks smart. I just don't know what his personality is like."
"I have already inquired about this child a long time ago. He is very smart. Even Old Master Wang praised him highly.
Moreover, when Shen Wanshan was still alive, he personally took him to court, which shows how much he loved him. "
"Moreover, I also heard that it was because of this child that Shen Wanshan began to favor our current Majesty."
"So, without him, there would be no His Majesty today."
Jiang Chongfan chuckled when he heard this.
"No wonder he was so deeply in love with that woman. He even argued with the ministers for her many times and even ruined his reputation because of it."
"That's really stupid!"
The butler lowered his head and said nothing.
After a moment, Jiang Chongfan took another sip of tea before continuing.
"Forget it. She's just a woman, so she won't cause any trouble. Our focus now should be on His Majesty."
"Over the years, we have been in Jiangnan and have ignored His Majesty. Now that we have returned, our top priority is to gain His Majesty's trust. Everything else is secondary."
The butler nodded.
"But we can't see His Majesty at all now."
Jiang Chongfan smiled and snorted coldly.
"Our Majesty is not in Tiandu right now, so we naturally can't see him."
Hearing this, the butler looked up suddenly.
"What does this mean?"
"Hasn't His Majesty been ill for a long time? He couldn't even attend the morning court, so why is he not in Tiandu?"
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly and put down the teacup in his hand with a slight sound.
"With a hundred thousand troops approaching the border, do you think the Queen Mother can handle it?"
"It must be because our Majesty is at the border right now!"
"I just don't know why our Majesty went to the border. Could it be that he wants to attack Da Qi?"
The butler didn't understand any of this. He just lowered his head and listened to these words, feeling cold sweat running down his face.
Jiang Chongfan was silent for a moment before he stood up.
"Have someone keep an eye on the outside of the city. If you spot any suspicious carriages, notify me immediately."
"When the time comes, we will go to greet His Majesty in person."
After saying this, he thought of something and added, “By the way, inform Wan’er and ask her to get ready to see His Majesty at any time.
Whether she can catch His Majesty's eye will depend on her luck."
******
At this time, in the carriage returning to Tiandu.
Gu Jingchun was leaning in Shen Hechuan's arms, listening to Shen Hechuan's story of what happened along the way.
When it came to the key point, Gu Jingchun's face was full of nervousness.
Looking at Chen Hechuan's eyes, he was also full of heartache and emotion.
However, no matter what kind of look it was, it would eventually turn into a blurred and charming look caused by the kiss.
Later, Gu Jingchun simply stopped listening.
She looked at her swollen lips and slapped Shen Hechuan on the chest, causing Shen Hechuan to wail.
"Look at my lips. How can I go out like this? What will your subordinates think of me if they see me?"
"Don't worry, they don't dare to look at you at all."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he covered his chest and pretended to be in pain.
Gu Jingchun also knew that this guy was pretending, but he was still worried and always lifted up his clothes to take a look.
But every time she would be caught by Shen Hechuan, who would say that she was greedy for his body.
Every time I would take this opportunity to kiss her, causing her to gasp continuously.
She was sure that if Shen Hechuan was not injured and in mourning period,
I'm afraid that Shen Hechuan has already taken her in the carriage right now.
Of course, Gu Jingchun couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to resist and rape her.
However, on this day, when Chen Hechuan mentioned the butterfly mark, Gu Jingchun frowned slightly.
Butterfly mark?
She didn't know why, but she felt vaguely familiar with it, but she couldn't grasp it for a moment.
Gu Jingchun wanted to think about it again, but when Chen Hechuan saw her frowning, he couldn't help but persuade her:
"If you can't remember, forget it. Since they want to deal with me, they will definitely come again."
"Whoever they are, the truth will come out in due time."
Gu Jingchun nodded. Although she was still a little worried, there was nothing she could do now.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind them, accompanied by bursts of shouts.
"Miss Gu, Miss Gu——"
When Gu Jingchun heard the sound, he stuck his head out and saw Xin Shengyuan chasing him on horseback.
She quickly ordered people to stop the carriage and get off.
Xin Shengyuan also stopped his horse immediately, dismounted, and walked quickly to Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun looked at Xin Shengyuan with surprise on his face.
"Xin Shengyuan? Why are you here? Is there something urgent?"
Xin Shengyuan was breathing heavily. When he saw Gu Jingchun, he immediately handed a box in his arms to Gu Jingchun.
"Miss Gu, I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry."
As Xin Shengyuan spoke, he scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"I went to the village to look for you, but Granny Wang said you had already left, so I hurried over."
"This is a gift I specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Gu Jingchun left in a hurry this time. Before leaving, he left some silver and some necessary things for Grandma Wang, and of course a jade token of Gu Jingchun. When the time comes, he can go directly to Tianjing Trading Company with this jade token to withdraw anything.
Gu Jingchun took the box with a look of surprise on his face.
"You...came all this way just for this box?"
