Chapter 78 The Queen Mother Discovered
At the beginning, Gu Jinxi beat up all the servants in the mansion, and it took a lot of effort to get them to keep their mouths shut.
And now, the person Gu Jinxi was beating was Gu Nansheng.
When Gu Nansheng wakes up, the secret of Gu Jinxi's great strength will probably be exposed.
Xiaoman was just thinking when the tent curtain was lifted from the outside and Gu Nansheng walked in with a dark face.
He was full of anger and wanted to give the little guy Gu Jinxi a warning as soon as he entered the door.
However, he didn't expect that the mere action of lifting the door curtain would pull his ribs, causing him to grimace in pain and his face to change color.
He couldn't help but stare at Gu Jinxi who was lying on the bed.
I didn't expect this little guy to be so strong.
It was just a coincidence that the kick hit his upper abdomen, near the ribs, which is why it was so painful.
After Gu Nansheng woke up from the bed, he recalled the reason why he fainted. The first thing he did was to order his servants not to spread the matter to anyone, let alone call the imperial physician.
He didn't want the news of him being kicked unconscious by a child to get out and be laughed at for no reason.
But he couldn't swallow this anger, so after waking up, he went to Gu Jingchun's tent again, ready to send Gu Jinxi away.
After all, this is not an ordinary place. There are dignitaries everywhere. If Gu Jinxi offends other people, it may be detrimental to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
When Xiaoman saw Gu Nansheng coming in, he didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed to the bed, protecting Gu Jinxi behind him, and then said:
"Second Master, my young master came here just to find my young lady, and has no other purpose."
"I promise that I will stay with the young master in this tent today and will not take a single step out. I hope the second young master will agree to this."
Gu Nansheng's face turned pale and he didn't give Xiaoman any chance at all. He immediately stepped forward and wanted to pick up Gu Jinxi.
At the critical moment, Xiaoman didn't care about anything else and slapped Gu Nansheng.
This palm strike did not contain any force, and immediately, Gu Nansheng took several steps back and his body hit the screen behind him.
With a "bang", the screen fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Gu Nansheng also fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
He looked at Xiaoman in shock. After a while, he slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered.
"Oh--"
"I didn't expect that the girl next to my sister would be so capable and dare to fight with me. So don't blame me for being rude."
He said sternly, "Someone come!"
"Catch this person who broke into the hunting ground without permission."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in aggressively.
Seeing this, Xiaoman didn't care about anything else and directly took the prince's jade pendant out of Gu Jinxi's arms and held it high above her head.
"We were personally invited by the prince. Let's see who dares to move!"
Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, but soon chuckled.
"joke."
"How could a country boy like you possibly know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"How dare you use a jade pendant to impersonate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How audacious!"
"Someone come—"
"Why don't we arrest these two liars?"
After Gu Nansheng finished speaking, Xiaoman also raised his voice with a stern look on his face.
"I wonder who among you dares to do that. Our young master was personally treated by the imperial physician sent by the Queen Mother.
If something happens to him, can you afford it?"
When the empress dowager arranged for an imperial physician, Gu Nansheng was still unconscious.
He came here immediately after waking up, so he didn't know about this and naturally didn't believe it now.
He raised his head and laughed, "Just now he mentioned the Crown Prince, and now he's mentioning the Queen Mother. Will he mention His Majesty later?"
Gu Nansheng stopped talking nonsense with Xiaoman and directly pulled out the long sword from the hand of the guard next to him, pointing at Xiaoman and said:
"Get started!"
As soon as the words fell, a majestic voice sounded.
"stop!"
Gu Nansheng turned his head reflexively and saw the Queen Mother walking in slowly.
"Young Master... of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, you are so capable!"
"What? You don't even listen to what I say?"
The Queen Mother cast an oppressive gaze upon Gu Nansheng's face, causing his heart to stagnate and he immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness pays homage to the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother continued speaking.
"I just said today that I want to ensure the safety of this child.
But you insisted on taking this child away.
Then I would like to ask you, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Or rather, what does your Yong'an Marquis Mansion want to do?"
"Disobedience?"
Once the label of disobedience is put on them, their mansion will be finished.
Gu Nansheng didn't care about anything else and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"I have no such intention. I beg Your Majesty to understand."
"It's really because this child comes from the countryside. I'm afraid he might disturb Your Majesty, so I want to send him away."
The empress dowager glanced at him indifferently, and with the help of Nanny Li, she slowly walked to Xiaoman.
She first glanced at Xiaoman, then looked at the jade pendant in Xiaoman's hand.
She had heard Xiaoman mention the prince outside the tent, so she rushed in.
Xiaoman also noticed the Queen Mother's gaze. She immediately knelt down and respectfully presented the jade pendant to the Queen Mother with both hands. She took the opportunity to explain the whole story of the day.
At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed across the Queen Mother's face.
She didn't even need to look closely at the jade pendant to confirm that it was indeed worn by Chen Hechuan.
Because there was a small scratch on it, which was accidentally made before she gave it to Chen Hechuan.
I didn't expect it to appear in the hands of a little kid today.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at the child on the bed.
Just one glance and the Queen Mother took a step back in shock.
Nanny Li quickly supported her and comforted her carefully.
But the Queen Mother didn't care about anything and pushed Xiaoman away. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Gu Jinxi carefully.
“This…this is…”
The Queen Mother trembled and spoke.
Nanny Li hurried to explain.
"This is the child we met today. I have already done my research. He is the child that Gu Jingchun brought back. His name is Gu Jinxi, and he is already three years old."
"Three years old?"
The Queen Mother murmured, then looked at Gu Jinxi's face carefully, then held Gu Jinxi's hand, arm, shoulder, and finally placed it on her waist and hips. Finally, she stood up suddenly.
He shouted: "Impossible!"
"This child can't possibly be only three years old!"
Hearing this, Xiaoman's expression behind the Queen Mother changed several times. She slowly moved closer to Gu Jinxi and explained:
"This child is stronger and eats more, so he looks a little bigger than an average three-year-old."
But the Queen Mother did not listen to Xiaoman's explanation.
She glanced around the room and finally landed on Nanny Li.
"Pass on my instructions and drive all the outsiders out."
"This tent is surrounded. No one can leave without my order."
As she spoke, she fixed her gaze on Gu Jinxi's face again, paused, and then continued, "Send someone to inform the prince, and tell him that I have something important to tell him."
