Chapter 59 Chapter 59

These two arrows have the power of a rainbow breaking through the air, and each one is more accurate than the last.

If it was a little off to the side, Jiang Jinghui's injury would have been more than just a scratch on her face.

Although he wasn't hurt, there was blood on his face, which was quite insulting.

Everyone looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and saw Gu Huaisheng sitting upright on horseback with a bow in his hand.

The afternoon light shone on his body, and the jade crown that bound his hair seemed to emit a cold glow. Today he wore a dark black round-necked robe with gold weaving. The corners of his clothes rustled in the wind, and his jade-like face was filled with endless coldness.

At this moment, there was a darkness in his eyes, and his gaze fell coldly on Jiang Jinghui.

If he had come a little later, where would Jiang Jinghui have wanted to shoot this arrow?

Jiang Runchu also came along. Although she saw Jiang Jinghui pointing the arrow in the direction of Jiang Jingchun, she saw that Gu Huaisheng had disfigured her with one arrow, so she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Why did you shoot her in the face?"

How will I face people now that my face is disfigured?

Jiang Runchu even defended Jiang Jinghui, "She just wanted to shoot the rabbit, you don't have to do this..."

"Shoot rabbits?" Gu Huaisheng looked at Jiang Runchu, "Are there any rabbits there?"

There was only Jiang Jingchun there.

"Her face will heal in a few days. What will she do if the arrow hits her body?"

If this arrow hits Jiang Jingchun directly, what will he do?

Unexpectedly, one day he would be able to stand in Jiang Jingchun's shoes and teach others a lesson. Compared with Jiang Runchu, he didn't seem to be so excessive.

I originally thought that Jiang Runchu had gotten better and would treat Jiang Jingchun better, but compared to Jiang Jinghui, he always put her in an insignificant position.

Gu Huaisheng picked up another arrow, aimed it at Jiang Jinghui, and then slowly pulled the bow.

Jiang Runchu saw murderous intent in his eyes and reached out to stop him.

Gu Huaisheng looked at him, his voice was also indescribably cold, and he asked him, "You also know how to be afraid? Then why did you go to speak to Jiang Jinghui when she pointed an arrow at her just now?"

He was worried about Jiang Jinghui getting hurt, so why wasn't he worried about Jiang Jingchun?

"Jiang Runchu, how dare she shoot that arrow."

"I would have killed her, too."

Jiang Jinghui should be thankful that the arrow didn't shoot out, otherwise, it would not be as simple as just a scratch on her face.

After hearing this, Jiang Runchu was speechless for a moment, but he knew that he was not lying.

Gu Huaisheng no longer paid attention to Jiang Runchu, dismounted, and walked up to Jiang Jingchun. He saw that she was still holding a rabbit shot by an arrow in her hand. He pulled her to have a look, and when he saw that there were no other injuries on her body, he finally felt relieved.

Jiang Jingchun didn't expect Gu Huaisheng to come. She was stunned for a moment with the rabbit in her hand, and only reacted when the man walked up to her.

She looked up and saw that his jaw was tightly clenched and the veins on his forehead seemed to be throbbing.

She was actually not afraid of Jiang Jinghui because she knew she would not really kill her.

But Gu Huaisheng obviously didn't know that, and he looked quite angry.

Gu Huaisheng looked down at her and saw that she was still in the same look as when she went out. There was nothing unusual about her, not even a trace of fear in her eyes.

Isn't she afraid? The arrow is pointed at her, why isn't she afraid?

He was almost scared to death just by looking at it.

Gu Huaisheng felt his fingertips trembling.

Jiang Jingchun was silent for a moment, then raised her head slightly, looked at him and said, "I'm fine, Gu Huaisheng, don't be angry."

She was quite afraid that he would be angry. Although his anger was not directed at her, they were outside after all, and he always did things in a frightening way... Besides, she was fine, and Jiang Jinghui would not do something that would bring about her own destruction.

Gu Huaisheng was stunned for a moment when he heard her words.

She must be feeling uncomfortable seeing him like this.

After understanding what she meant, he let out a breath and forced himself to calm down.

He looked at the rabbit in her hand, which was pierced with an arrow, and couldn't help but ask, "You want to eat a rabbit? Why didn't you tell me..."

Jiang Jingchun walked to the side of the horse and stuffed the rabbit into the basket while answering Gu Huaisheng's question, "Catching rabbits is fun."

She originally wanted to catch rabbits for fun, but unfortunately Jiang Jinghui showed up halfway, so there was nothing she could do. Now she could only pick up the rabbits she killed and take them back with her.

Seeing Gu Huaisheng coming, Chen Muqing knew that she couldn't continue playing with Jiang Jingchun today. She climbed onto the horse, raised the bow in her hand and said to Jiang Jingchun, "There's not much to hunt here, Xiaochun'er, I'm going to go look somewhere else first."

After saying this, she whipped her horse and walked away without waiting for Jiang Jingchun's reply. Her figure soon disappeared from this place.

Chen Muqing left, and Gu Huaisheng asked her, "What else do you want? I'll take you there."

Jiang Jingchun was already feeling a bit uncomfortable because of what happened with Wang Shun. He had originally wanted to catch a few rabbits and let Jiang Jinghui shoot any one he saw. So he had no mood to ask for anything else.

So she shook her head and said, "No."

Her voice sounded muffled, and this listless look was completely different from the one she had before she went out. Gu Huaisheng asked someone to pull her horse back, then he grabbed her hand and walked towards his own horse.

Jiang Jingchun refused and tried to let go of his hand, but he asked, "Does it hurt?"

She paused.

Just now, Gu Huaisheng heard people say that she had a conflict with Wang Shun, and heard that she accidentally ran too fast and bumped into him. After hearing this, he immediately rushed here, but unexpectedly he ran into the scene just now.

He took her hand and found that her hand was also wrapped in gauze.

She had also changed her clothes, which were neat and simple without any frills. One could tell at a glance that they belonged to Chen Muqing.

On his way here, he heard someone say that she had fallen to the ground.

Gu Huaisheng lifted her hand and took a closer look. He found that her nails were a little cracked and there was some blood on her white fingertips. He knew without thinking that she must have hit the ground just now...

It must hurt.

Everyone's perception of pain is different. This kind of pain may not be worth mentioning to Gu Huaisheng, and he won't even frown. But he thought, if it were her, it would probably be very painful.

Jiang Jingchun knew what Gu Huaisheng was asking.

She had already digested her emotions, and she didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Gu Huaisheng asked again: "Does it hurt?"

How can it not hurt?

The pain in her hand was nothing, but how could he say that she had no parents to educate her?

It hurt so much that she felt like dying.

Although he knew that Wang Shun and Jiang Nan were at odds, so he deliberately said those ugly words to curse people to death, but these words hit the mark and touched Jiang Jingchun's sore spot.

Seeing that she kept her head down and refused to pay attention to him, Gu Huaisheng thought that she still didn't want to look at him in a good light, so he just pursed his lips and said nothing, then half-supported and half-dragged her onto his horse.

He took her back to the tent.

The wind blew on the two of them, tangling the corners of their clothes together. The clouds were thin and the dense sunlight shone through the branches and leaves, casting circles of light. The autumn wind was getting colder under the clear sky. Gu Huaisheng half hugged her, and his nose was filled with her scent.

He said, "I'll wrap your finger later when we get back."

Why is it only half-bandaged, and only the palm is taken care of, not the fingers.

Gu Huaisheng said this to himself, thinking that she would not speak again, but he heard her suddenly say, "It doesn't hurt."

When Gu Huaisheng heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was answering the question just now.

It doesn't hurt, she said.

But the next moment, Gu Huaisheng heard her say: "He scolded me for being a wild child without parents."

The words were so light and faint that they almost disappeared with the wind, but in the end they still hit Gu Huaisheng's ears heavily.

When Gu Huaisheng arrived, he only heard that they had a conflict, but he did not hear that Wang Shun had said such unpleasant words.

Wang Shun, relying on his position as the Prime Minister, loves to say things that bully the younger generation.

How could he say such things to her?

Gu Huaisheng felt that Jiang Jingchun's body was shaking with anger, so he hugged her tighter.

His voice was slightly hoarse as he said to her, "He himself has no children, yet he always likes to say these things to attack others. The less a person has, the more he cares about things. Besides, he and his uncle don't get along well. It's hard for him to bully him, so he comes to bully you."

It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Jiang Jingchun felt even more uncomfortable. She lowered her head and tears began to fall on the horse's back.

"I know, I know everything... but it's too bad. How could he be so bad? I didn't do anything to him. What right does he have to say that to me?"

The cold wind penetrated her skin, making her feel cold all over.

Gu Huaisheng noticed her uneasiness and pain, and hugged her even tighter. Jiang Jingchun might really feel a little cold, so she didn't subconsciously push him away and let him hug her from behind.

They usually slept on the same bed but they had never been so intimate as they were at this moment. They had never been so close since they got married. He opened his arms, trying to warm her who was attacked by the cold.

Perhaps because he had just rushed here on horseback, his body was very hot, and the warmth wrapped around Jiang Jingchun's back.

She was held in his arms, the fresh scent filled her nose, Jiang Jingchun said: "Can you help me find someone......"

She also has a father who is missing. He left her mother alone and disappeared without a trace. She wants to know why Qiong Zhang abandoned her mother alone and why he didn't want them anymore, leaving her a wild child without a mother or a father.

Jiang Jingchun really wanted to know why.

Why doesn't he want them?

Maybe he was the son of some rich family, and her mother was his concubine, so later on, he didn't want them anymore and just let them fend for themselves...

But it's too cruel. Losing two people at once is too cruel.

I have to admit that Gu Huaisheng is really amazing. He might be able to find the person my grandmother can't find.

After hearing Jiang Jingchun's words, Gu Huaisheng immediately asked, "Who do you want to find?"

"Qiong Zhang..." Jiang Jingchun thought for a moment and added, "My grandmother said my father's name was Qiong Zhang, but she couldn't find out anything about him."

Qiong Zhang?

Like a jade tablet and a scepter.

Just by listening to Gu Huaisheng's voice, he knew that the name had a special origin.

Jiang Jingchun's father may not be an ordinary person.

"Will you leave me?"

Gu Huaisheng rested his head on her shoulder and suddenly asked.

If she found her biological father, would she leave him?

Jiang Jingchun didn't quite understand why Gu Huaisheng suddenly asked such a question, but he thought that he was suspicious again. He always suspected this and that, and now he didn't know why he thought of this.

Jiang Jingchun thought about it and immediately said, "No."

She was afraid that if she said yes, Gu Huaisheng would not help her find it.

She really just wanted to know why he abandoned them, she had no other intentions. Besides, he didn't want her back then, and she didn't think he would want her now.

When Gu Huaisheng heard Jiang Jingchun's answer, he knew she was lying to him.

But even though he knew it, he didn't say anything more.

Gu Huaisheng had never heard of this name, but having a name was enough. There would be no one in this world who could not be found. He said, "When Qiu Lie returns, I will have someone look for him."

He thought for a moment and then spoke again: "I am your cousin... and your husband. If you want something, just tell me directly. Don't ask if it's okay or not."

He didn't want to be so estranged from her.

In her eyes, he didn't seem to be worthy of her reliance.

After hearing what Gu Huaisheng said, Jiang Jingchun didn't say anything else. Only after a long time did she say "hmm" in a muffled voice. She sat in the front with her head lowered. Gu Huaisheng looked at her expression and saw tear marks on her cheeks. Knowing that she was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything else.

After the two left, Jiang Jinghui and Jiang Runchu were the only ones left in the forest.

Jiang Runchu looked at Jiang Jinghui and remembered what Gu Huaisheng reminded him last time.

He said that Jiang Jinghui is not simple.

He didn't take it to heart at that time, but today, he saw with his own eyes that she pointed the arrow at Jiang Jingchun.

He was afraid that Gu Huaisheng would hurt her, so he made excuses for her in front of him. But now that Gu Huaisheng is gone, does he still have to make excuses to himself?

Is he still going to believe Jiang Jinghui's nonsense that she just wanted to shoot rabbits?

He looked at Jiang Jinghui, but at this moment he felt that she was very strange, completely different from the sister in his memory.

With disappointment in his eyes that he himself could not see, he said, "You were not like this before."

Jiang Jinghui couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

She almost wanted to shoot the arrow at Jiang Runchu.

Jiang Jinghui couldn't stand Jiang Runchu's condescending look as he criticized her, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

Jiang Runchu called her.

"Don't bully her anymore, she's very pitiful..." He paused for a moment, then added: "Besides, Gu Huaisheng is not someone you want to mess with. If you bully her, Gu Huaisheng..."

He was interrupted by Jiang Jinghui before he finished speaking. She looked at him coldly and said, "Is it because Gu Huaisheng is not easy to mess with that you don't let me bully her, or is it because you just don't want me to bully her?"

After saying this, Jiang Jinghui no longer cared about Jiang Runchu's expression, turned around and left, leaving him alone here.

*

Jiang Jingchun and his partner headed back to the camp. After they returned, Gu Huaisheng wanted to apply medicine to Jiang Jingchun's hand, but Jiang Jingchun thought it was nothing. Gu Huaisheng said, "It's about to bleed. If you don't apply medicine, it will heal slowly and it will crack when the weather gets cold."

It hurts just to hear that.

Jiang Jingchun did not continue to argue.

In the afternoon, Jiang Jingchun saw that he did not go out, so he could not help asking, "Aren't you going out to hunt? I won't go out in the afternoon, you can go."

Gu Huaisheng thought that if he had accompanied her today, such a thing would not have happened later. He should have gone with her to catch rabbits.

When he heard Jiang Jingchun asking him to leave, he did not move, but just said, "It's meaningless, I won't go."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Jingchun stopped urging him to go out, and the two of them stopped talking and neither of them left the tent.

After going out hunting in the afternoon and sweating a bit, they both washed themselves and changed their clothes.

It was almost dark, and in the evening, there was another dinner party outside. Before the party started, someone came to greet them.

The two of them stood up together and went out to attend the banquet.

A circle of torches had been lit all around, the sky was dark and the flames were dim. They arrived not too late, as everyone else had not yet arrived, and Emperor Taihe and his men had not yet arrived.

Gu Huaisheng and Jiang Jingchun sat together. Perhaps because Jiang Jingchun looked gentle and easy to talk to, sitting next to Gu Huaisheng made him look less stern. Many people came over with glasses of wine to greet him.

Later, the prince also came and headed towards Gu Huaisheng.

The prince was two or three years younger than Gu Huaisheng. He had an upright figure, a handsome face, but there was an indescribable coldness between his eyebrows.

When Shen Changqing was alive, he served as a tutor in the capital, teaching the prince.

Shen Changqing teaches the prince in Wenhua Hall.

Teach Gu Huaisheng outside.

The two of them could be considered brothers in a sense, but they had never gotten along well with each other in the past.

Since Shen Changqing's death, they have hardly seen each other.

This was the first time the prince took the initiative to walk up to Gu Huaisheng.

He was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a Yishan hat on his head, and stood in front of Gu Huaisheng.

Seeing the prince coming in this direction, the people around him dispersed with interest.

Gu Huaisheng and Jiang Jingchun saluted him.

The prince glanced at Gu Huaisheng, then looked up and down at Jiang Jingchun, and said, "Is this your new bride?"

Gu Huaisheng looked at his slightly disdainful eyes and knew that he was about to blurt out something bad. The moment he opened his mouth, Gu Huaisheng covered Jiang Jingchun's ears first.

"It doesn't look very good."

Sure enough, when Gu Huaisheng covered Jiang Jingchun's ears, the prince's words came out.

Fortunately, he covered it quickly, so Jiang Jingchun didn't hear anything in the end.

The prince was surprised for a moment when he saw his behavior, but soon sneered.

Gu Huai said, "If you hate me, just say it to me, why bother with her?"

As he said this, his voice became a little colder.

Gu Huaisheng actually never understood where the prince's inexplicable malice towards him came from. When Shen Changqing was still alive, the prince often targeted him. Sometimes when the two had to meet, he was always alone and had a bad face. When he was young, he always liked to play tricks on him.

It was not until Shen Changqing had an unpleasant experience with him that the prince finally kept quiet for a while.

And since Shen Changqing's death, the prince has never appeared in front of him on his own initiative again.

But tonight, when the two of them met, his old illness recurred.

The prince glanced at him, chuckled, and then said, "You are so nervous about protecting her."

I've never seen anyone treated like this before.

He was about to say something when he saw the emperor and the empress coming over.

The prince shut up and said nothing more. He just gave him the same unfriendly look as before and returned to his seat.

Perhaps the Empress Dowager said something to the Emperor when she returned in the afternoon. In the evening, Emperor Taihe did not talk as much as he did at lunch. After he gave the plunder to the person who had the most prey today, he said nothing more and started the meal directly. It was almost over in a few incense sticks.

After he stood up and left, Wang Shun followed him.

However, not long after, for some unknown reason, the eunuch beside the emperor came and called Gu Huaisheng over again.

Gu Huaisheng was a little confused. He didn't know what Emperor Taihe wanted to do, but after looking at Jiang Jingchun, he hesitated whether to leave.

Perhaps it was because the prince had come here deliberately to cause trouble just now, and now he was afraid that if he left her here alone, something bad would happen again.

The father-in-law's voice urged him to go. Jiang Jingchun saw his hesitation and said to him, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here and won't go anywhere. Mother and the others are right next to us. Don't worry too much."

Lord Gu and Madam Gu are still around, what could possibly happen?

After hearing what she said, Gu Huaisheng didn't say anything else. In the end, he could only say "Wait for me to come back" and then got up and left.

Jiang Jingchun was really obedient this time. After Gu Huaisheng left, she sat alone in her seat and continued to eat her own food, not thinking of running around anymore.

But not long after Gu Huaisheng left, Jiang Jinghui came looking for her.

Her face was scratched by an arrow in the afternoon, and the mark is still quite obvious.

Jiang Jingchun looked at the person who appeared in front of him and felt a little annoyed.

Why is she still haunting me? I can't get rid of her.

She ignored her and lowered her head to eat.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Jinghui's tone became a little cold. She said, "This time I don't want to find you, I want to talk to you about my mother's matter."

Li's matter?

What she said was quite puzzling. Jiang Jingchun looked up at the Jiang family's seat and saw that Li was not at the table. Only Jiang Nan was there.

Seeing her raise her head, Jiang Jinghui asked again, "Did you meet with your mother this afternoon? What did you talk to her about? Why did she try to commit suicide after she went back, saying all kinds of unreasonable things and even smashing a porcelain bowl and cutting herself?"

Jiang Jingchun frowned when he heard this.

What is she talking about?

Would Li do such a thing?

Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, Jiang Jingchun couldn't help but overthinking, maybe those words really hurt her. She recalled Li's expression and saw that her face turned pale in an instant, and she looked very bad.

Judging from Li Wanning's temper...if she encounters something unpleasant, she might really seek death.

Nothing really happened.

"Come with me to see her." Jiang Jinghui said immediately after noticing that her expression had relaxed.

Jiang Jingchun pursed his lips tightly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. For a moment, he was afraid that Li Wanning was really going to die. After thinking about it, he got up and followed Jiang Jinghui and went outside.

Jiang Jinghui took Jiang Jingchun away from here.

At first, there were some people around, but later on, I don’t know which path I was walking on, but I didn’t see a single person.

This isn't the direction to Jiang's camp...

Jiang Jingchun didn't know where Jiang Jinghui wanted to take her, but as she watched them go further and further away, she gradually realized that something was wrong.

She stopped in her tracks, refusing to move on. She called out to Jiang Jinghui and asked, "Didn't you just ask me to go out and meet her? Where are you taking me?"

If it was someone else, Jiang Jingchun wouldn't think much about it, but this person was Jiang Jinghui, and she always found ways to bully her.

In this situation, how could she not think of something else?

Sure enough, when Jiang Jinghui heard her words, she turned around and looked at her, and the expression on her face was no longer concealed.

She sneered, "Now you realize something is wrong? It's a little too late."

I originally wanted to lure her directly into the tent, but I didn't expect her to notice me halfway.

I am just a little smarter than before.

However, it's just a little bit, and it's still not enough.

If he was really smart, he wouldn't have been tricked by her using Li today.

Jiang Jingchun realized something was wrong and tried to run away, but was caught by Jiang Jinghui. She wanted to call for help but was hit on the back of her neck. She felt the pain in her neck and passed out.

Jiang Jinghui carried her towards Song Xuanan's tent.

Everyone is at the banquet. There are not many people here at the moment. Song Xuanan is also still at the banquet.

Song Xuanjing had found a way to get rid of the guards near the tent, and she didn't run into anyone along the way.

When Song Xuanjing saw someone coming, he also emerged from the darkness.

Seeing her carrying Jiang Jingchun over, he couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that people are not completely stupid."

If Jiang Jingchun was a little dumber, he would not be carried here, but would be deceived here while he was awake.

Song Xuanjing took the person and threw her onto the couch.

The situation was urgent. Wang Shun asked Emperor Taihe to call Gu Huaisheng over, but he didn't know how long it would take. Jiang Jinghui asked directly, "Has anyone called Song Xuan'an?"

Song Xuanjing nodded.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "How about giving me some medicine?"

She had already prepared the aphrodisiac.

She had found this medicine with great difficulty. It was enough to make a person lose his mind. When Jiang Jingchun woke up, he might not even remember what happened.

Song Xuanjing glanced at Jiang Jingchun who was unconscious on the bed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do it. If we don't, it's hard to say whether Song Xuan'an will touch her. If we do, he will definitely not be able to hold it."

If Song Xuan'an really wanted to be innocent, he would be more innocent than anyone else. He might not necessarily do anything to someone even if someone fell next to him. But it would be a different story if someone was drugged.

Who can resist the temptation of a beloved woman?

Song Xuanjing didn't believe that Song Xuan'an could be such a saint.

The two men took a packet of medicine and put it in the water. They clamped Jiang Jingchun's jaw and fed the medicine into her. They were afraid that Song Xuan'an would come back and see them, so they got up and left after doing this.

After Song Xuanjing left here, he planned to go outside and call someone, and then pretend to accidentally discover this affair.

There were many people at the autumn hunt, and many people watched, so the two of them became notorious enough in the future.
