Chapter 72: Ask the Queen Mother to Help Me
"They are going to bully mother again."
Xiaoman explained immediately.
"Don't worry, they don't have the ability to bully you, young lady."
"No, I want to go over and take a look."
Gu Jinxi didn't listen at all.
Xiaoman hurriedly explained to Gu Jinxi.
But Gu Jinxi was determined to go with them, and even threatened that if Xiaoman didn't allow it, he would go by himself.
After all, with his abilities, it would be easy for him to deal with Xiaoman and those people hiding in the dark in the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman had no choice but to agree in order to appease Gu Jinxi.
Therefore, Gu Jinxi ran to the room again, took a few small weapons and the jade pendant given by Shen Hechuan, and then got on the carriage with Xiaoman and headed towards Gu Jingchun.
Xiaoman secretly informed Gu Jingchun and asked the coachman to drive slower to delay time.
Perhaps because of the last time Gu Jingchun entered the palace, Gu Jinxi was particularly persistent this time, and Xiaoman alone could not convince him at all.
So, now we can only place our hopes on Gu Jingchun.
I hope she can see her signal in time, find a way to come back and comfort Gu Jinxi.
At this time, Gu Jingchun had already arrived at Mount Li.
Mount Li is the place where this spring hunting is held.
When they arrived, the main force had already set up camp and was ready.
Gu Weiang and Chu Qianlan stood anxiously at the entrance. Seeing Gu Jingchun arriving late, they looked a little dissatisfied.
Chu Qianlan spoke first.
"Why did you come just now?"
"Do you think this is your country? You can come here anytime, anywhere?
You are so slow, if you delay the Queen Mother's time and disturb her rest, can you bear it?"
Don't blame her for being anxious.
It was really the Empress Dowager who was urging us to do it.
The people from the Queen Mother's side came over and called out twice. Chu Qianlan had to talk for a long time before they agreed to say a few good words for her.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui's people also came to summon Gu Jingchun.
Chu Qianlan couldn't understand where Gu Jingchun got the ability to win the favor of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui, so she could only explain with a smile.
After explaining this so many times, I lost my patience.
Therefore, when he saw Gu Jingchun was late, he couldn't help but scold him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun immediately frowned and stopped.
"The mother had not informed her daughter that she was going to the spring hunt before. When the daughter heard the news, she immediately dressed up and hurried over, but she still didn't expect her mother to be unhappy.
In that case, my daughter should go back."
After saying that, Gu Jingchun turned around and was about to leave.
Gu Nansheng had been tortured by Gu Jingchun all the way and had lost his temper. Seeing this, he stopped talking, just sighed helplessly and looked at Chu Qianlan.
Chu Qianlan didn't expect that Gu Jingchun would be so angry at this moment. Seeing her turning around and about to leave, she could only call her back.
"Gu Jingchun, stop right there."
Gu Jingchun did not stop.
Chu Qianlan looked at Gu Weiang's warning eyes and didn't care about anything else. She gritted her teeth and said immediately:
"Chun'er, stop."
She softened her tone, trying to make it softer.
"It was my fault just now. I said something wrong. Don't hold it against me."
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun finally stopped and turned around.
"So my daughter is late this time?"
"No."
Chu Qianlan smiled with a fake smile.
"This is because Mother didn't inform you of the time for the spring hunt, which caused you to be delayed. This is not your fault, but Mother's fault.
I hope you won’t argue with your mother.”
After saying that, Chu Qianlan saw Gu Jingchun smile with satisfaction.
"In that case, my daughter will go to see the Queen Mother first."
After Gu Jingchun said this, he went forward and was taken by the palace maid to see the empress dowager.
Chu Qianlan looked at her back, her hands shaking with anger.
Gu Yunjin was holding Chu Qianlan's hand, so he naturally noticed her anger at the moment.
For this reason, she gently stroked Chu Qianlan's back and soothed her softly, "Mother, you don't need to be angry because of her.
She is just a widow, and now she has been summoned by the Queen Mother for no reason. She must have offended the Queen Mother in some way."
Chu Qianlan turned and looked at her when she heard that.
"really?"
Gu Yunjin nodded.
"Mother, think about it. She's a widow, why would the Queen Mother summon her?
If it wasn’t because I made a mistake, what else could it be?”
"Just wait and see. Nothing good will happen to her."
As Gu Yunjin spoke, a hint of viciousness appeared in his voice.
Gu Jingchun, just wait.
This spring hunt, I will make sure you never come back.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunjin comforted Chu Qianlan a few more words and went to find the Third Prince.
After all, if she wanted to deal with Gu Jingchun now, she would have to rely on the power of the third prince.
In the past, she had sneered at the Third Prince, but now she realized that power was the most useful thing in the world.
Only with the third prince did she have enough power.
Only then can she be crushed to death easily.
At this time, in the Queen Mother's tent.
Gu Jingchun was kneeling on the ground.
Although she was relaxed and casual all the way here, she could not hide her nervousness at this moment.
The Queen Mother was drinking tea, but her eyes would occasionally fall on her.
She put down the teacup in her hand and then said, "Gu, the last time you came, there were some things I didn't tell you in detail.
I called you here today to make these things clear."
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun immediately leaned forward and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I know exactly what you are going to say."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I know that I am a widow and now I am married, and I am not worthy of the virtuous, talented, wise and intelligent Crown Prince."
Gu Jingchun said word by word, "I do not wish to be a stain on His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, nor do I wish to be like that evil woman who wreaked havoc and brought eternal infamy upon myself."
"Moreover, I also believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only interested in me for a short time and will soon lose interest in me.
Being able to marry the young master of the Luo family safely and smoothly is my lifelong wish."
"So, today I came here to tell the Queen Mother these words so that you can be at ease.
Furthermore, please help me, Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king, and I have no choice but to obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders.
But I do not want to go against my own conscience.
Please, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, restrain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he will let me go."
The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this. She remained silent, and her face looked somewhat unhappy.
Even though she was prepared, she still felt a little dissatisfied when she heard these words.
After all, in Gu Jingchun's words, Chen Hechuan was the one who was harassing her.
How could the Queen Mother allow Gu Jingchun to belittle the Crown Prince in this way?
Therefore, she kept a cold face and never expressed her opinion.
