Chapter 137 What! Was The Money Stolen?
After the incident ended successfully, Jiang Heyan slept peacefully on Gu Chen's shoulder. The flush on her face still hadn't faded away, and she felt a hearty feeling of exhaustion and collapse.
She gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, lazily shrank into Gu Chen's arms, and said with a slight squeamishness: "Your Highness, I seem a little tired..."
"You didn't do anything just now?!" Gu Chen said.
He did most of the physical work. He didn't even say he was tired, but this girl got tired first.
When asked by Gu Chen, Jiang Heyan's already flushed face turned even redder, her red lips slightly pursed, and she punched Gu Chen's chest shyly, "Humph, your highness is a bad guy, you still ask me this on purpose even though you know the reason. ."
They were all eaten up just now, but now His Highness is pretending to be confused. The reason why I am a little tired is not the fault of His Highness, the bad guy.
Gu Chen smiled and said softly: "Okay, I know you worked hard just now, it's my fault."
Sure enough, with just a little coaxing, Jiang Heyan immediately became happy again. She took the initiative to hug Gu Chen's arm, put her little head on the other person's chest, and whispered in a low voice.
"Your Highness, when do you think we can have a baby? It's been so long, but there's still no movement in my stomach."
Since their eighteenth birthday, the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly, and their communication has gradually become more frequent.
To give you a rough idea, it's about three times a week.
But now after so long, there is still no movement in her stomach, and sometimes she is quite anxious.
Although His Highness didn't care, the mother-in-law and the imperial concubine still pressed hard.
Gu Chen put his arms around Jiang Heyan's waist, held her in front of him, and softly comforted her: "Just let nature take its course. Don't worry too much. If my mother-in-law and the Duke of Zhenguo's Palace put pressure on you, , I’ll talk to them another day when I have time.”
This thing is about probability, so there is no need to rush.
And if we spend more time together in the future, we will eventually be able to get pregnant.
Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to talk to the imperial concubine and the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Heyan quickly shook her head, "No, I just want to give birth to a child for His Highness as soon as possible so that Prince Zhuang's Mansion can be more lively."
"No wonder you always seduce me. It turns out that this was your intention."
After saying that, Gu Chen gently took a bite on the other party's pink shoulder.
When Gu Chen did this, the originally harmonious atmosphere was instantly destroyed by him. Jiang Heyan blinked her eyes first, and then immediately became angry. She gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Chen fiercely, "Your Highness, you bite me again!"
Gu Chen smiled awkwardly, "I was not careful just now."
"I do not believe!"
"What do you want?"
"I want it back!"
After a dispute, the ambiguous atmosphere spread in the room again, and this time Jiang Heyan took the initiative to attack.
Ugh!
The dragon roars!
....
The next morning.
Shopkeeper Li from Xiankeju quickly sent someone to Prince Yun's Mansion to tell Nangong Yue that there was a thief in the store last night.
The door locks of the main door and a wing on the third floor were forcibly broken. Fortunately, the restaurant didn't lose anything.
However, after hearing the news, Nangong Yue couldn't sit still for a moment and took people to Xiankeju in person.
Seeing Nangong Yue get off the carriage, shopkeeper Li walked forward quickly and walked to him respectfully.
"Princess, you are here. We are checking the identity of the thief now, but I sent someone to check the Xiankeju and found that nothing was missing."
Nangong Yue glanced at Shopkeeper Li, frowned, and asked coldly: "The door lock of which wing on the third floor was broken?!"
Shopkeeper Li replied: "The second room on the left."
A trace of panic flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and then he said to the people behind him, "You all wait below for me!"
After saying that, she immediately walked into Xiankeju and walked straight to the third floor.
Returning to the wing room on the third floor, Nangong Yue closed the outer door, then quickly opened the secret door and walked in quickly.
But when she saw the empty scene inside, her extremely beautiful appearance suddenly darkened, and even the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees.
All gone!
All gone!
Not only all the savings of Xiankeju, but also most of the savings of the Prime Minister's Mansion were stolen.
This thief is so brave, he even dares to steal things from the prime minister's house!
If grandpa knew that the money was stolen, he wouldn't go crazy on the spot.
Nangong Yue felt like her heart was filled with anger, and she wanted to cut the money thief into pieces.
....
At the same time, Gu Chen returned to Prince Zhuang's Mansion after attending the morning court, and Jiang Heyan quickly helped him change out of his court clothes.
As for what happened last night, no one mentioned anything more.
While helping Gu Chen change, Jiang Heyan asked curiously: "Your Highness, are you having lunch at home today? I recently learned a few dishes from Zhang Niangxin, can I cook them for you to try?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "I may not be free at noon. I will go out to find Jiang Anran later. How about eating your cooking in the evening?"
Jiang Heyan was stunned and asked curiously: "What are you looking for An Ran for?!"
Gu Chen said: "I am going to give her half of the boxes of things I brought back yesterday as food money for her."
During this period, Jiang Anran used Tianyipot's public account to buy food, and she must have advanced a lot of money herself.
Of course, these gold, silver and jewelry will definitely be enough for her food and money. As for the extra money, it can be regarded as Gu Chen's gratitude to her.
Hearing that Gu Chen was looking for Jiang Anran, Jiang Heyan blinked and said, "Your Highness, how about I deliver the money for you! Our relationship with Anran is fine now. You can also rest at home for a while."
Jiang Heyan naturally felt distressed when she saw His Highness leaving early and returning late every day.
As the other party's princess, he must also learn to share some things within his power for His Highness.
Gu Chen glanced at Jiang Heyan subconsciously, "Are you going?"
Seeing Gu Chen's hesitation, Jiang Heyan raised her lower lips and said, "Your Highness, you're not still worried about me not getting along with An Ran, are you?"
Gu Chen shook his head, "That's not true. If you want to deliver it, then go ahead and deliver it. I'll ask someone to pack the things later."
Seeing that Gu Chen agreed, Jiang Heyan immediately smiled happily and asked happily: "What about having dinner at home at noon?!"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's try my Yan'er's craftsmanship today."
Seeing Gu Chen praising herself so much, Jiang Heyan felt a little embarrassed and said quickly: "My cooking may not be that delicious. Your Highness, please don't dislike it later..."
"It's okay, I like everything you cook."
"Hey, then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare. Your Highness, you can rest in the house for a while."
Jiang Heyan smiled sweetly and hurried to the kitchen.
Women don't need to be praised, and Jiang Heyan has such a character.
Originally, she just wanted Gu Chen to have a taste of her skills, but now that she was praised like this, she felt that if she didn't put in 200% of her efforts, she might be betraying his trust.
After Jiang Heyan left, Gu Chen called Liu Yun and ordered him to go to the warehouse to separate half of the gold and silver jewelry he brought back last night and pack them on the carriage.
