“It should be,” Ji Chen looked at her, unsure if she was angry or scared, trembling all over, and quickly grasped her hand, “With General He Xi accompanying, our army will surely be victorious. Don’t worry.”
Shen Yuqing’s words, “Once Jiang Shangheng is dead, you can stay by my side with peace of mind,” still echoed in her ears. How could she not worry? Gu Qingtong urgently gripped Ji Chen’s hand: “Orange, help me. I must leave here.”
“
Ji Chen thought about how he might not even be able to leave himself, so how could he promise her? He could only shake his head.
Gu Qingtong shook her head: “No, I must find a way to leave myself.”
“Tong’er, just stay here quietly and wait for news about Jiang Shangheng,” Shen Yuqing appeared at the door, leaning sideways, smiling at her and emphasizing the word “news”.
Gu Qingtong stood up abruptly, her face turning pale: “I want to see my mother.”
“The Empress Dowager is too busy to see you. At my request, she has permitted you to stay in my residence for a while,” Shen Yuqing stepped forward, taking her hand, a smile on his face but a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Gu Qingtong was stunned, unexpectedly finding that even her mother had sided with him, while Jiang Shangheng was far away at the border. But Shen Yuqing had taken her away, and Xie Yan must have told him. He left with worry.
Seeing her face turn pale, Shen Yuqing sighed almost inaudibly, then quickly curved his mouth: “Tong’er, let me tell you some good news.”
Gu Qingtong just gave him a sidelong glance, saying nothing.
“About Liang Luoxian,” Shen Yuqing helped her sit by the table and poured her a cup of warm tea.
Ji Chen saw that Shen Yuqing was focusing only on talking to Gu Qingtong, feeling a bitter sourness.
At this moment, she was almost jealous of her.
Shen Yuqing noticed Ji Chen staring at him, slowly poured another cup for her, and then leisurely said: “Ji Chen arranged for Liang Mohen to catch Liang Luoxian and the cloud musician in an affair. Liang Mohen, ashamed and angry, raped her. Liang Luoxian lost her child and nearly lost her life.”
