The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

After hearing what Jiang Fei said, Gu Jinchu's face was calm, "Guard Jiang, you kneel here without even explaining yourself. You must let me know what happened!"

Jiang Fei pursed his lips and swallowed. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down from his forehead and hit the ground. One could almost hear a slight sound.

He looked ashamed and said, "Madam, when the Fifth Master was on duty and passing through Yongding Gate, he was attacked... It was because of the incompetence of our subordinates."

When returning to the Duke Ding’s Mansion in Gu’an from the Dali Temple, one would not pass by Yongding Gate. Jiang Fei did not tell the truth!

Gu Jinchu tried his best to keep his voice calm, holding Bai Zhi tightly with one hand and stroking his bulging belly with the other.

She asked him in a low voice, "Is the Fifth Master seriously injured? Is he at home?" After that, she raised her hand to signal Jiang Fei to stand up.

Jiang Fei stood up upon seeing this, lowered his eyes to look at his feet, never daring to look up and meet his wife's eyes, "...The Fifth Master is currently being placed in Zhuli Pavilion, his wounds have been treated, Madam, don't worry... He You has already asked someone to invite Doctor Wu over..."

Hearing Doctor Wu's name, Gu Jinchu frowned slightly. She had doubted Wu Zizhen at first, but since she asked him to come here at this time, it meant that he was trustworthy.

She subconsciously asked, "Didn't you alarm the Duke and his wife?"

Gu Jinchu asked someone to bring her cloak, feeling confused.

The assassination of Fifth Master did not happen in the previous life.

When Jiang Fei talked about the Fifth Master's injury, he was a little vague. And whose bloodstain was that accidentally revealed on his clothes under his cloak?

"When I came to Yuanyuan Hall, He You had already invited the Duke and his wife over."

Jiang Fei stood beside Gu Jinchu, cupped his hands and said, "Madam Tai said it snowed today, and the roads are slippery when it gets dark. Madam, it won't be too late for you to visit Fifth Master tomorrow..."

Gu Jinchu took the hand warmer handed to him by the servant, raised his chin slightly, and asked the maid to tie the cloak.

Hearing Jiang Fei's words, his eyes became a little sharp when he looked at him, "Guard Jiang, you are not telling the truth, I must go and take a look!"

He turned around and told the servants around him: "Bai Zhi and Mother Cheng, accompany me to Zhuli Pavilion!"

Seeing his wife coming out of the main room with her maids and walking along the bluestone road towards the inner courtyard, Jiang Fei's face turned even paler and he was filled with regret.

He You, the eloquent man, should be allowed to come to Yuanyuan Hall, and he should go to Minghui Hall to deliver the message.

Not only did he fail to hide the secret from his wife, he also messed things up!

Jiang Fei glanced at Miss Bai Shao standing beside him, whispered an apology, and strode to catch up with his wife.

Gu Jinchu led his men to the Chuihua Gate and saw that the lights outside seemed brighter than usual, and compared to the festive atmosphere welcoming New Year's Eve, there was a hint of solemnity.

Although her steps were still steady, they became a little heavy.

Until he saw the guards patrolling in the corridor leading to Zhuli Pavilion with serious faces, Gu Jinchu whispered to Jiang Fei, "Why are these people here?"

The guards with swords would not easily enter the inner courtyard, and the Zhuli Pavilion was under heavy guard at this time.

The cold wind blew, and the corners of the guards' clothes fluttered slightly, but they stood still like rocks.

At this moment, Jiang Fei had to tell the truth: "Madam, today the Fifth Master was ordered by the Emperor to escort the Third Prince back to the palace from the Huguo Temple... The Fifth Master was injured in order to protect the Third Prince..."

Gu Jinchu heard the slight pause in his footsteps, and then his pace obviously quickened.

Although Zhuli Pavilion only has two courtyards, the inner courtyard is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

Wu Ye does his morning exercises every day in the martial arts training ground here.

All the fallen snow in the yard had been cleared away, and only the pines and cypresses on both sides had loose snowflakes floating down with the wind when the cold wind blew, bringing a slight coolness to people.

Gu Jinchu discovered that there were not only Jiang family guards in Zhuli Pavilion, but also Jinyiwei wearing flying fish uniforms, which were particularly eye-catching under the candlelight at night.

Jiang Fei continued, "Madam... the Jinyiwei were brought by Wang Xi, and they came with the imperial physician to treat Master Wu..."

After saying this, he closed his eyes lightly, unable to hide it anymore.

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't realize that Guard Jiang has the potential to be a strategist!" He walked towards the study without stopping.

Wu Ye’s injury must be very serious, and they want to hide it from her!

Jiang Fei followed beside the lady and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. It was the Fifth Master who told him to do this.

The lady is pregnant and cannot get emotional.

When the lady realizes something is wrong, he will infiltrate her little by little, so that the lady can have a buffer psychologically and emotionally.

When you meet Master Wu later, you will be mentally prepared and won't find it hard to accept it all at once.

At this time, the door of Mr. Jiang Wu's study opened.

Walking in front was the eunuch Wang Xi, who was wearing a three-mountain crown and was talking to the people around him with a smile on his face.

He had his usual flattering expression, but his eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of shrewdness.

"Your Majesty and Madam Duke, don't worry. The imperial physician also said that there is no serious injury... As for the fact that he hasn't woken up yet, it must be a matter of time."

When Gu Jinchu heard this, he lost his balance and was quickly caught by Bai Zhi.

"Madam..." Bai Zhi exclaimed softly, her face full of panic.

"During the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, the emperor will have rewards waiting for Lord Jiang..." Wang Xi walked out the door and raised his head when he heard the voice.

"Mrs. Jiang Wu? You are here to see Mr. Jiang Wu!"

Wang Xi's sharp voice caused a few more people to come out of the room.

When Madam Jiang saw Gu Jinchu, she extended her hand towards her before she even walked up to her.

The hands of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were tightly clasped together in mid-air.

Madam Jiang held her daughter-in-law's hand and said softly, "Jinchu, you are pregnant, I didn't say that I couldn't let you come over..."

Her face was a little pale, with tears in her eyes, and her face was full of heartache and worry.

When Gu Jin first saw Madam Jiang, she seemed to have been crying. Her eyes became hot. She held her hand and whispered, "Mother..."

She held back what she wanted to say and the questions she wanted to ask.

He was also taking into consideration the chief eunuch Wang Xi in the courtyard.

In Wang Xi's eyes, this scene seemed as if Gu Jinchu was so sad that she couldn't speak, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were hugging each other and crying.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang comforted her, "You are in a heavy body, don't get too excited, Xiaowu is fine..."

It is not only to comfort the daughter-in-law, but also to speak to oneself.

Wang Xi stood there and glanced at them obscurely, then bowed and said to the back: "I will return to the palace to report now. The Duke, the Duke's wife, and Mrs. Jiang Wu should take care of their health.

Especially Mrs. Jiang Wu, you are pregnant with twins, you are a very blessed person...”
