Chapter 77: Chinese Medicine
Before rushing out, Shen Hechuan turned around, met Gu Jingchun's eyes, and silently said two words with his lips.
"wait for me."
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun quickly lowered his eyes, his heart in panic.
How could this guy be so bold as to do this in front of so many people? What would happen if people found out?
Gu Jingchun's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but carefully observe the reactions of the people around him, but he found that no one's attention was on him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Luo Ziqian's gaze fell silently on the two of them.
He looked at Gu Jingchun's reaction and felt sad for a moment.
On the other hand, Situ Mingji, who was sitting next to Gu Jingchun, blushed and showed a hint of embarrassment belatedly.
The noble ladies around also joined in the joke.
"I didn't see it wrong just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly looked in this direction and said something."
"Who do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking at?" asked one of the women.
"Is that even a question?"
"Of course it's our Miss Situ."
"I heard that the Empress Dowager has taken a liking to Miss Situ and has summoned her to the palace many times. I'm sure there will be good news to announce soon."
Hearing this, Situ Mingji's face turned even redder.
"Don't talk nonsense, is this still something that has no clue about?"
This statement seems to be a rebuttal, but in fact it confirms what was just said.
Before this, the Queen Mother specially summoned her to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not feeling well.
The Queen Mother therefore allowed her to go back and gave her gifts to appease her.
She thought that the marriage was over, but she didn't expect that during this period of time, the Queen Mother began to summon her into the palace frequently again.
This rekindled hope in her who had already given up hope.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been too busy recently and she rarely sees him.
I didn't expect that when they met today, the prince would actually...
When Situ Mingji thought of this, his heart was filled with joy.
Hearing the praises from the noble ladies around her, she gradually lost her mind and even felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be fond of her.
This made her complacent and completely immersed in her own world.
Gu Jingchun found that everyone around her thought Shen Hechuan was looking at Situ Mingji and did not doubt her at all, and she immediately felt relieved.
This spring hunt will last a long time, about three hours.
Gu Jingchun was bored, so he thought of going back to his tent to rest.
However, he didn't expect that after he had just taken a few steps, he met a palace maid running towards him in a hurry.
"Miss Gu, the Queen Mother wants you to come over."
Gu Jingchun thought that the Queen Mother had left after the spring hunt began, and that she must have other things to arrange if she asked her to come over now, so she nodded and followed her.
However, as they walked through the place more and more remote.
Gu Jingchun frowned slightly and stopped.
"Miss, have you just arrived at Shoukang Palace? Why do you look so unfamiliar?"
The palace maid paused when she heard this.
"I've just arrived at Shoukang Palace. It's normal for Miss Gu to find me unfamiliar."
She smiled as she spoke, and said anxiously, "We're just ahead. Go quickly, young lady, and don't keep the Queen Mother waiting for too long."
Gu Jingchun took two steps back and sneered:
"You're lying!"
"Tell me, who are you, and what do you want to do by bringing me here?"
As soon as Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Lan Xin rushed forward and blocked Gu Jingchun behind her, looking ready to take action at any time.
The palace maid paused for a moment before saying:
"Miss, you misunderstood. I am just a palace maid and I did not lie.
If you don't believe me, just go over to the tent over there and you'll see the Queen Mother is inside."
Gu Jingchun continued:
"I've been to Shoukang Palace only a few times, so it's normal for you to look unfamiliar to me.
But you were busy explaining to me, not even noticing anything unusual. If you're not lying, what else could you be?"
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the palace maid looked flustered for a moment.
But soon, she calmed down again, changed her previous servile attitude, straightened her back, raised her head, and looked at her arrogantly.
"Now that you've been discovered, don't blame me for being rude."
As she spoke, her face turned fierce and she immediately flew towards Gu Jingchun.
Lan Xin tried to stop him, but after taking only a few steps, she felt dizzy, her body became unstable, and she fell to the ground.
In her hazy state, she saw the palace maid holding Gu Jingchun hostage and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, there's incense everywhere here. You've been standing here for so long, and now you want to leave?"
“It’s a dream!”

At this time, on the other side, Chen Hechuan was galloping on his horse.
After locking onto a sika deer.
He drew his longbow, took aim, and shot. The deer fell to the ground in one smooth motion, instantly drawing cheers from the people around him.
At this time, Tianji ran over in a hurry.
Seeing this, Chen Hechuan couldn't help but tighten the reins and looked at Tianji.
"Your Highness, this is bad. Miss Gu is missing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan didn't care about anything else. He immediately tightened his grip on his horse and rushed out quickly.
Everyone was left looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so anxious.
At the same time, after leaving the banquet, the Queen Mother wanted to return to her tent to rest.
But, she didn't know why, she suddenly thought of the child.
"Do you know who that child is from before? What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li was stunned for a moment before she bowed her head and apologized:
"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I only asked the imperial physician to come to him at that time, and I didn't know where his child came from."
After all, he is just a child. He is lucky to have the protection of the Queen Mother and to have the imperial physician come to him.
If he is a good person, he will definitely come to express his gratitude in person in the future.
Therefore, Nanny Li did not ask any further questions.
She didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask about it now, so she asked tentatively:
"However, I suspect that the child must be closely related to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Why don't I go and ask him now?"
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know why I'm always worried about that child."
"Forget it. Why don't I go with you and ask in person?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li was shocked and without caring about anything else, she quickly ordered people to go to the location of Marquis Yong'an's tent.

Inside Gu Jingchun's tent.
Xiaoman looked at Gu Jinxi who was still sleeping soundly, and was anxious and at a loss.
She followed Gu Jinxi in here alone and had no way of informing Gu Jingchun.
After they entered the hunting ground, they were discovered by Gu Nansheng because they couldn't find the specific problem. He then chased them and scolded them, threatening to send them out.
Gu Jinxi naturally didn't want to do that, so she took the opportunity to slip out of his hands and prepare to escape.
In the end, Gu Jinxi climbed up the tree, but was still caught by Gu Nansheng.
Xiaoman thought about the kick he gave Gu Nansheng during the crisis just now.
Such a great force can make people faint.
Xiaoman was afraid that Gu Nansheng would wake up and cause trouble for Gu Jinxi again.
