Chapter 54: The Queen Mother Summoned
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun suddenly looked up at Chen Hechuan.
And Chen Hechuan took the opportunity to wink at Gu Jingchun.
He was good-looking to begin with, and he suddenly flirted with Gu Jingchun, which made Gu Jingchun's heart skip a beat, his face flush, and his mind get hot, so he took the thing.
Lan Xin was in shock the whole time.
She never imagined that this handsome man who had come to see the lady many times was actually the Crown Prince.
Her young lady is so amazing that she even won over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even came in person to support her young lady.
She really likes this feeling!
She swore that she would help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak well of her young lady in the future.
When she thought of this, she quietly looked up again, looking at the pale faces of Gu Yunjin and Bai Lu, and suddenly felt proud.
Gu Yunjin also knelt down at this time.
"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me. I hope Your Highness will show some leniency for the sake of our long-standing friendship."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Hechuan immediately turned cold.
"Second Miss Gu, please be more precise when you speak. When did I ever have any feelings for you?"
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Weiang again.
"Marquis Yong'an, I came here today for this matter, and I want to remind you of this.
Now is a turbulent time, and Marquis Yong'an should still control the people in the mansion to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As for the second young lady in your house, I will take her away first."
After saying that, Chen Hechuan didn't give Gu Weiang a chance to beg for mercy and left with his men.
Suddenly, the entire lobby was filled with the voices of Gu Yunjin and Bai Lu pleading for mercy.
Gu Weiang and Chu Qianlan could only watch helplessly.
Chu Qianlan sat down exhausted only after Chen Hechuan left.
"What's going on?"
"When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince start caring about such trivial matters?"
Chen Hechuan is the crown prince and has to deal with countless political affairs every day. When has he ever taken care of such trivial matters?
Gu Weiang did not answer, but looked at Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun had no intention of saying more to them, so he casually bowed and wanted to leave.
But Chu Qianlan suddenly shouted.
"Stop."
As she spoke, she walked forward and lifted the red cloth on the tray in Lan Xin's hand.
Suddenly, an exquisitely crafted landscape ornament appeared before everyone's eyes.
Especially the sparkling cinnabar particles on it are extremely beautiful.
"This... isn't this the ornament we just brought in a while ago?"
Chu Qianlan cried out in shock.
I heard that the imperial concubine liked this thing at that time and wanted to ask for it, but the emperor didn't give it to her.
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would casually give it to Gu Jingchun?
Chu Qianlan therefore looked at Gu Jingchun carefully again.
This girl's face is indeed beautiful enough. Could it be that the prince has chosen her?
However, the prince had seen all kinds of beauties, so why would he fall for Gu Jingchun, a widow with a child?
Chu Qianlan couldn't figure it out.
But Gu Weiang looked at Gu Jingchun with a thoughtful look.
And at this time in the palace.
The news that Chen Hechuan gave the things to Gu Jingchun immediately reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
"Marquis Yong'an's Mansion?"
"Gu Jingchun?"
The Queen Mother cried out in shock.
"That woman who grew up in the countryside and has a child."
"That's right." Madam Li explained, "I have confirmed it again and again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only gave the things as rewards to Gu Jingchun, but also captured the second young lady of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
It was said that Miss Gu II sent someone to assassinate Gu Jingchun, and the Crown Prince happened to pass by and rescued her, and arrested the person.
Now, the Queen Mother was even more surprised.
"When has that kid Hechuan ever cared about such trivial matters?"
"There are so many spies in the prison, aren't they enough for him to interrogate?"
The Queen Mother said this and then remembered something.
"I remember that the girl named Gu Jingchun has been granted marriage, right?"
"Exactly."
Nanny Li explained, "The emperor personally arranged the marriage, promising it to Luo Ziqian, the legitimate son of Minister Luo."
Having said this, she added another sentence.
"By the way, there's also news about the child His Highness was holding that you asked me to investigate."
"Whose child is that?"
"This person is none other than Gu Jingchun's child, Gu Jinxi."
Now, the Queen Mother was getting restless.
"Tsurukawa...what exactly does he want to do?"
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Gu Jingchun?
That’s the wife of a minister!
Although they have not yet married, it was the Emperor who arranged the marriage.
If Hechuan is really interested in Gu Jingchun, it will eventually reach the ears of King Rui.
Wouldn't that be like handing your handle directly to the other party, so that they can hit you hard?
The Queen Mother didn't dare to think about it.
Nanny Li had obviously thought of this as well, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.
After a while, the Queen Mother calmed down and gave the order directly:
"Pass on my order. Tell Gu Jingchun to come to the palace and chat with me. I'm bored in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li immediately agreed.
The second day.
Gu Jingchun arrived at Shoukang Palace early under the guidance of the eunuch.
She arrived early and the Queen Mother had not finished her breakfast, so Gu Jingchun had to wait at the door.
Although she stood there, she seemed to be standing straight, but in fact her eyes were closed and she was about to fall asleep.
Gu Jingchun has always had the habit of staying in bed.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely sleep until noon.
But it happened that the Queen Mother summoned her yesterday and specifically asked her to come to the palace.
She therefore had to get up early.
However, because of this sleepiness, Gu Jingchun felt less nervous.
She had already vaguely guessed the reason why the Queen Mother had summoned her into the palace.
After all, they are women in the harem, and any movement in the palace cannot escape their eyes.
And Chen Hechuan's action of first giving a hairpin and then an ornament would certainly arouse the empress dowager's suspicion.
After all, her identity is special. No matter how open-minded the Queen Mother is, she will never allow the Prince to have any involvement with her.
When Gu Jingchun thought of this, he already had an idea in his mind.
She could use the Queen Mother's help to get Shen Hechuan to let go.
Gu Jingchun stood at the door for a long time, so long that her sleepiness had dissipated a little. Then the palace maid said that the empress dowager had finished her breakfast and called her in.
Gu Jingchun opened his eyes and felt refreshed, then slowly entered the palace.
After entering, Gu Jingchun saw the queen mother sitting upright and immediately stepped forward to pay her respects.
"May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."
Gu Jingchun bowed deeply.
But the Queen Mother on the throne just looked at her and had no intention of asking her to stand up.
"Get up."
After a while, the Queen Mother finally let her get up, but her tone was much colder than before.
When Gu Jingchun stood up, she felt a scrutinizing gaze falling on her.
The Queen Mother was looking at Gu Jingchun carefully.
She is beautiful enough.
But Chen Hechuan is not a man who values beauty.
Look at Gu Jingchun’s demeanor again.
Although she came from the countryside, her demeanor remained unchanged, and she was calm and composed, giving people a sense of confidence that everything was under control.
