Chapter 424 Because I Miss You
Perhaps influenced by the two of them, Gu Jingchun suddenly became interested.
She immediately asked Lan Xin to change her into a bright red dress, dressed up carefully, and went straight into the palace.
For this reason, she deliberately did not tell Shen Hechuan in advance.
And she had Shen Hechuan's jade token in her hand, so it was easy for her to enter the palace.
And at this time in the palace.
Chen Hechuan was sitting in front of the table.
Looking quietly at the letter in front of him.
"These...are all true?"
At this moment, Li Ce was kneeling on the ground in front of him and began to explain.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I had been to Qi County once before you asked me to go there."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately raised his eyes and looked straight over.
"Did the late emperor ask you to go?"
Li Ce shook his head.
"No, it's the late queen?"
"Is it the Queen Mother?"
Shen Hechuan was surprised when he heard this.
"Why is the Queen Mother investigating Jingchun's affairs?"
Li Ce shook his head.
"I don't know, but although I didn't find out the other party's identity in Qi County at that time, I did gain other things."
"I received a jade pendant from Mei Xueli."
"Jade pendant?"
Chen Hechuan immediately raised his eyes.
"What kind of jade pendant?"
"It's a butterfly-shaped jade pendant, very delicately carved. It's very beautiful."
Shen Hechuan frowned.
“Isn’t it in the shape of a butterfly, not a circle?”
Li Ce nodded.
"Yes, I remember it very clearly. It was a butterfly-shaped jade pendant. The entire piece of jade pendant was in the shape of a butterfly.
Moreover, when the Empress saw the jade pendant, she was very excited. Afterwards, she carefully inquired about the owner of the jade pendant.
"After that, the late queen never mentioned this matter again."
This made Shen Hechuan very confused.
He really couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with his mother, why she ordered people to investigate, and why she was so excited when she saw the jade pendant?
But Li Ce continued to speak.
"However, I feel a little strange about my visit this time. The last time I investigated, I didn't find much useful information.
But this time it went very smoothly.”
As Li Ce spoke, he told Shen Hechuan all the information he had found during this period.
"Mei Xueli was originally a wet nurse to the Marquis of Yong'an.
At the beginning, after the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an gave birth to Gu Jingchun, a Taoist priest came to her house and said that the child was an evil star and might affect the fate of the entire Marquis of Yong'an's mansion.
Therefore, the wife of Marquis Yong'an has always been brooding over this matter.
At that time, Mei Xueli had just given birth, so in order to let her daughter live a good life, she deliberately exchanged her child with Gu Jingchun.
She took Gu Jingchun all the way to Qi County and raised him alone.
Mei Xueli has suffered a lot over the years.
She was bullied in the village, but despite this, she still raised Gu Jingchun well.
Moreover, she was so desperate that when she could barely afford to eat, she sent Gu Jingchun to a private school. When he was a little older, she even sent him to learn the rules of a wealthy family and learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan became even more confused.
Why would a person who has trouble feeding himself spend a lot of money to let his daughter study something that is useless to them at the time?
Could it be that she knew at that time that Gu Jingchun would come back?
And Li Ce continued speaking.
"Later, when Gu Jingchun was a little older, he met another man."
"This man is very mysterious. Few people have seen his appearance. I only heard that he might be a Taoist priest.
Moreover, this man is Gu Jingchun's master.
Since they had this master, Gu Jingchun and Mei Xueli's lives have gradually improved.
Since then, the two of them have had less and less time together, and no one dares to bully them anymore."
"Later, Gu Jingchun suddenly left home and returned two years later with a big belly."
"Not long after returning, Gu Jingchun gave birth to a child. However, for some reason, she was very weak during that time.
Later, Gu Jingchun's health gradually recovered, Gu Jinxi gradually grew up, and most importantly, there seemed to be something between Mei Xueli and that man.
However, one day, Gu Jingchun suddenly left with his child.
After that, I never went back.”
After hearing these words, Shen Hechuan remained silent, with a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't make sense of them.
He looked at Li Ce and spoke again.
"Have you found out the identity of that man?"
Li Ce shook his head.
But Chen Hechuan suddenly thought of the old Taoist priest in a wheelchair whom he met in Qi County before.
He looked like a Taoist priest, and Gu Jingchun's attitude towards him at that time...
Thinking of this, Shen Hechuan already had an idea in his mind.
"Go check the identity of that man right now."
“We can start with the doctor who worked in Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion back then.
Also, in Qi County, focus on checking the abandoned temples and the person who looks like a Taoist priest in a wheelchair."
"yes!"
Li Ce agreed and was about to leave.
At this moment, the voice of the little shadow suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
"Miss Gu, you can't go in. His Majesty is discussing important matters right now. Please wait a moment. I will go and pass on the message to you."
At this time, outside the hall, Gu Jingchun's face was full of annoyance.
She changed her clothes specially today in order to give Chen Hechuan a surprise.
Unexpectedly, the journey was smooth, but in the end, we were stopped here.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the little shadow with an embarrassed face, he waved his hand.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Just as the little shadow breathed a sigh of relief, the door of the hall was opened from the inside.
Chen Hechuan walked out from inside.
After seeing Gu Jingchun, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Jingchun gave him a reproachful look.
"Why, I can't come?"
Shen Hechuan quickly shook his head.
"Of course you can come, that's not what I meant!"
As he said that, he took Gu Jingchun in his arm and walked into the hall.
At this time, Li Ce also walked out of the hall. After seeing Gu Jingchun, he immediately saluted.
That was why Gu Jingchun couldn't help but look at him twice more. Just as he was about to ask something, he was pulled away by Chen Hechuan.
When Li Ce left, Gu Jingchun was unexpectedly blocked by Chen Hechuan.
After the kiss, Gu Jingchun had already forgotten what he wanted to say.
But Shen Hechuan's breath fell into her ears, his eyes full of joy.
"Jingchun, tell me, why did you come here suddenly?"
Gu Jingchun looked into his affectionate eyes, as if bewitched by him, and slowly said, "Because I miss you."
