Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

After returning to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Jiang Heyan and Chun Xia returned to the inner courtyard.

"Miss, my uncle is so domineering today. He dared to reprimand Miss Nangong even in front of His Royal Highness. Haha, I saw Miss Nangong's face was shaking at that time. She must be very angry."

"Humph, with my uncle protecting me, I wonder who will dare to bully our young lady in the future!"

In the room, Chun Xia sat around Jiang Heyan, chattering endlessly, full of joy.

Before, her uncle was on the sedan chair, and she, a slave, couldn't interrupt at will. Now that there were only her and the young lady in the room, talking was no longer so taboo.

But when she thought of her uncle's scene when he defended her, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Chunxia is just a slave, and her vision and structure are inherently limited. Naturally, she cannot see through the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Chen.

Therefore, when she saw Gu Chen dare to protect his young lady in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, this was already a great thing in her eyes.

At least, anyone else would not dare to offend the prince like Gu Chen did.

"Okay, Chun Xia, look at you, you're almost smiling from ear to ear." Jiang Heyan teased with a smile.

"Hey, my uncle is so kind to the young lady. Of course Chun Xia is happy for the young lady!" Chun Xia replied with a silly smile on her face.

However, after hearing Chun Xia's words, the original smile on Jiang Heyan's face immediately disappeared, a ripple flashed in her eyes, and her thoughts couldn't help but think of the past.

When he entered the palace to pay his respects to the imperial concubine on the first day after their marriage, His Highness the Crown Prince made fun of her, and Gu Chen defended himself just like he does today. Later, when I went back to my parents' house for a homecoming banquet, the other party didn't get angry with me even if I got a little angry at the dinner. Also when stepping on the "Fairy Bridge", she didn't step firmly on the high stool and almost fell. The other party also hugged her immediately to prevent her from falling...

After spending so many days together, the other party had never treated her badly. Even when she got into trouble, the other party came to protect her as soon as possible.

She admitted that at the beginning, she was indeed a little dissatisfied with him because of the wedding, but now...

She seemed less resistant and resistant.

"Little Miss, Chun Xia accidentally said the wrong thing just now. If you are unhappy, just scold Chun Xia!"

Seeing that the young lady's face was more melancholic, Chunxia immediately reacted.

The young lady told her that she didn't like her uncle.

Just now, I kept praising my uncle, which will definitely make the young lady worried.

well!

I was so excited just now that I forgot about the relationship between the young lady and my uncle.

"Why are you scolding you? This has nothing to do with you, it is my own business. And you are not wrong, he... is indeed very good to me..."

Then, Jiang Heyan tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her face and said softly, "Okay, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Miss, then after you and my uncle..." Chun Xia didn't know whether to ask.

Ever since the wedding night, my uncle has never entered this room again.

Although the uncle and the young lady seemed to be very close and protective of each other outside, she knew that their relationship was not as harmonious as she imagined. Instead, they seemed to be living together as partners.

If this continues, can the young lady and the uncle really get together?

"Okay, I'm a little tired. In the spring and summer, I'm ready to rest." Jiang Heyan said casually.

In fact, she herself didn't know how to get along with Gu Chen in the future.

On the day of the homecoming party, she once asked Gu Chen why he didn't want to sleep with her, but the other person revealed what she was thinking.

——Knowing that she was forced to marry him in the first place, her heart was not in Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

In the next half month, the other party never set foot in her room at night.

She actually thought about compromising.

Especially after listening to Chun Xia's enlightenment last time, she had somewhat accepted her current identity.

Several times when Gu Chen went out to handle official business, she cooked the food herself and waited for him to come back. She even left a light waiting for him at night.

But he never came.

Therefore, sometimes she thought that when the other party wanted to marry her, it was not because he liked her, but because he valued her family background and wanted to bring the Duke of Zhenguo into the camp of the noble concubine.

After all, she had always known that the queen and the concubine were at odds.

But today, after she slapped Nangong Zhu, she was made things difficult by the prince and others, but the other party came to the rescue in time...

Regardless of whether the purpose of his coming here is for himself or for the reputation of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, the fact that he can stand in front of her and protect her without hesitation shows that he still regards her as his woman in his heart.

It's just that there's no love mixed in with it.

....

In the study, Gu Chen did not fall asleep.

Today's conflict seemed simple, but Gu Chen couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Miss Nangong in the Prime Minister's Office is obviously not experienced in the world and has no calculations.

Even if she was unhappy with herself, she probably wouldn't belittle him in front of so many people.

After all, he is still a prince.

Later, Jiang Heyan came forward to refute, and she was confident and had no scruples.

Just holding the title of a daughter of the prime minister's palace probably wouldn't make her so arrogant that she would go against a princess!

Secondly, Prince Gu Mao lives in the East Palace, far away from the inner city.

Even if Nangong Zhu wanted to ask him to help her make the decision, it would probably take a long time to get there.

But the other party was able to reach Jialan Garden before him, a person who lived in the inner city.

Could it be that Gu Mao was not in the palace at that time, and Nangong Zhu happened to meet him when he sent someone to look for him.

Is this too much of a coincidence? !

Gu Chen felt that Nangong Zhu dared to do this today, most likely because of the instruction of Prince Gu Mao, and then took the opportunity to make things difficult for Jiang Heyan and bring shame on Prince Zhuang's palace.

It's not that Gu Chen is suspicious, but that Prince Gu Mao is extremely hypocritical and insidious.

He must be alert.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out, and a guard ran in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, there is an assassin in the house!"

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Have you been caught?"

The guard bowed and said: "We found a person, but before we could arrest him, he took poison and committed suicide. I was worried that there were still his accomplices in the house, so I rushed to protect the prince immediately."

"Take me over and have a look." Gu Chen said.

Prince Zhuang's palace in Kyoto is heavily guarded, and ordinary people cannot break into it.

He was very curious as to who came to the palace to assassinate him.

Under the leadership of the guards, Gu Chen came to the compound.

The lights in the courtyard were brightly lit, and countless guards gathered in the courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, a man wearing black clothes lay on the ground without any movement.

He was obviously dead, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Did you find out his identity?" Gu Chen looked at the leading guard and asked.

The guard lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have just carefully inspected this man. His palms are rough and thick, and he has numerous stab wounds on his body. The average charlatan rarely has such serious stab wounds, except for those who often go to the battlefield to fight. Soldier. Furthermore, he has a very shallow concave mark on both sides of his forehead and inside both ears. He seems to have the habit of wearing a hat and a mask all year round."

"Moreover, this person's strength is not low. He is at least as strong as a fourth-grade warrior. In the entire Kyoto, apart from the disciples trained by major aristocratic families, only the palace has such masters."

"In the palace?!" Gu Chen's eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.

Immediately, he looked at the leading guard and whispered: "Strengthen your vigilance and search the entire Prince Zhuang's Mansion to see if there are any other accomplices!"

"My subordinates will do it now."

Most aristocratic families in Kyoto would not have the guts to break into his Prince Zhuang's residence, except for Prince Gu Mao.

It seems that the other party is obviously unconvinced after suffering a bit of a loss today.

"You guys follow me." Gu Chen looked at the guards and ordered, then led them towards Jiang Heyan's residence.

Jiang Heyan lives in the inner courtyard, and no one can enter except for some close friends.

Therefore, the guard inside is relatively relaxed.

Although he didn't know the purpose of Gu Mao sending people here, to be cautious, he still had to go and see Jiang Heyan before he felt relieved.

"Uncle, why are you here?!"

Chun Xia didn't hear any movement outside the hospital, and watched Gu Chen lead a group of people to the door, obviously confused.

Gu Chen waved his hand and motioned to the guards behind him to check the surroundings, then looked at Chun Xia and asked, "Where is Madam?"

Chunxia said: "Miss has already fallen asleep in the room."

"Um."

Gu Chen nodded, and then opened the door directly in front of Chun Xia.

"Uncle, you...are you looking for something to do with the lady?"

Seeing Gu Chen rush into the room in a hurry, Chun Xia quickly followed behind and asked.

"Well, you should wait outside first!" Gu Chen said.

"That's okay."

Seeing that my uncle said so decisively, Chunxia did not dare to refute, so she had to stop and slowly exit the room.
