Chapter 66: Coaxing Him to Sleep
Chen Hechuan held Gu Jingchun in his arms again, sighed softly, and whispered:
"I'm sorry you suffered when I wasn't around. Now that I'm here, I will definitely protect you and the child and will never let you get hurt again."
Gu Jingchun was held in Chen Hechuan's arms. Feeling the warmth and heartbeat in his arms, and listening to his sweet words, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After all, Shen Hechuan is Xier's father.
Tiandu is the safest place she can think of.
With him around, Xier's safety will definitely be guaranteed.
And she no longer has to hide and live a precarious life.
Gu Jingchun was just thinking about it when Gu Jinxi's voice suddenly came.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Gu Jinxi walked in rubbing his eyes and looking aggrieved.
"Didn't you promise me that you would sleep with me today?"
Gu Jinxi woke up from a half-sleep state and saw that Gu Jingchun was missing, so she went out alone to look for him.
Xiaoman tried to stop her when she saw this, but the little guy was very angry when he woke up and didn't listen to her at all. He insisted on looking for his mother.
Helpless, Xiaoman had to bring people here.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Jinxi came in, he saw a man who absolutely could not appear, hugging his mother.
He was stunned for a moment, blinked his hazy eyes, and then spoke in confusion.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Suddenly, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan stopped moving, quickly separated, and nervously tidied their clothes.
"I……"
Shen Hechuan explained with difficulty.
He could face thousands of enemies on the battlefield and remain unmoved.
He could angrily confront dozens of courtiers in the court without batting an eyelid.
But now, facing a little child, he was so nervous that he lost his words.
Fortunately, the little guy did not pursue the matter at this time. Instead, he looked at Gu Jingchun and smiled.
"Oh, I see."
Gu Jinxi deliberately prolonged the tone.
It seems that mother has chosen my uncle.
He said that his uncle was so handsome, his mother would definitely like him.
It’s true!
I didn't expect that my mother would bring the person back so quickly.
Gu Jinxi was happy, but also a little worried.
But if that’s the case, what about his future father?
I don’t know if he can accept that his mother has two husbands.
Or, find a chance to ask him?
Anyway, he can accept having two fathers.
Moreover, he saw in those picture books that many men had several wives.
Then his mother must have several fathers.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi felt relieved, and there was a little more joy in her eyes when she looked at Chen Hechuan.
He still likes this uncle very much. Since he can be a father, can't he coax him to sleep?
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi took a step forward, raised his head, and asked Chen Hechuan: "Uncle, can you accompany Xier to sleep?"
Hearing this, the two people who were originally a little embarrassed and nervous were stunned for a moment.
Gu Jingchun even cried out in surprise.
"Gu Jinxi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"He's the Crown Prince. How can a dignified Crown Prince coax you to sleep?"
"Why don't you go back quickly? Mother will hug you and sleep with you in a moment."
Hearing this, Gu Jinxi became a little unhappy.
He pouted, raised his head, and looked at Shen Hechuan pitifully.
Shen Hechuan was still in surprise, but when he heard what Gu Jingchun said and met Gu Jinxi's eyes, he blurted out immediately.
"How can a man like you let your mother hold you in her arms while you sleep?"
"Come on, uncle will hold you in his arms while you sleep."
As he said this, he agreed as if possessed by a ghost.
"Uh-huh."
Gu Jinxi was overjoyed when he heard this, although he still didn't understand why he couldn't let his mother hold him while he slept.
But she still walked forward obediently, took Shen Hechuan's hand, and pulled him towards her room.
Gu Jingchun behind her called out to the two of them several times, but they ignored her.
She also sighed softly at this.
That's all.
Never mind.
Since Chen Hechuan is willing to coax him to sleep, then let him do it.
No matter what, he is Xier's father, so let him fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingchun yawned and looked at the things Chen Hechuan gave him.
I thought, I will return all the money to him tomorrow, and then I can leave this seal to him.
Thinking of this, she carefully put away the things and fell into a deep sleep.
The second day.
In the court.
Emperor Rongcheng sat on the dragon throne in a dragon robe, looking down at the ministers in the court.
He looked around, his eyes fixed on the empty space in front of him, and asked.
"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch beside him immediately whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he was unwell today and has asked for leave."
And among these ministers, a handsome man stood in front.
The prince's court robes made his features look handsome, and one could vaguely see the appearance of Emperor Rongcheng sitting on the dragon throne.
Especially the aura in his every move and gesture was exactly the same as that of Emperor Rongcheng, making people dare not look directly at him.
This person was none other than Emperor Rongcheng's favorite son, Prince Rui.
The Darong royal family is small.
He had countless concubines in his harem, but there were only three princes and one princess.
Among these three princes, only Prince Rui was the most like Emperor Rongcheng in both appearance and temperament, so he was deeply favored by Emperor Rongcheng.
Over the years, Emperor Rongcheng gave him power, manpower, paved the way for him, and made him gradually stronger.
Now it is enough to compete with the prince.
At this moment, he heard the eunuch's words, walked out slowly, bowed and saluted before saying:
"Your Majesty, I just received the news today.
Our Darong's defense map has been taken away by Da Qi's spies. I'm sure Your Highness the Crown Prince is worried and can't sleep, which is why he's feeling unwell."
As soon as Prince Rui said this, all the court officials present were in an uproar.
This is a defense map!
This concerns the safety of Tiandu and the Imperial City, and is of no trivial importance.
Now that it has fallen into the hands of Da Qi, isn't it at the mercy of others?
Suddenly, some ministers in the court could no longer sit still and stepped forward to impeach the prince.
They said he had neglected his duties. He had been in charge of Tiandu's defense for many years and was also the commander of the Five Cities Army, but he actually allowed Da Qi to take away such an important thing. It was clear that he had ignored the people of Dacheng.
What's more, some even said that the crown prince was no longer worthy of being the crown prince and requested Emperor Rongcheng to depose him and enthrone Prince Rui as the crown prince.
Of course, these words were immediately refuted by other ministers.
They said that the prince was wise and intelligent, and he did things in an extremely methodical manner, and would never make such a mistake. There must be something they didn't know, and they advised Emperor Rongcheng to be patient and summon Shen Hechuan to the main hall to ask him.
For a while, there was endless debate in the court.
