After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

She didn't want to hear this name. Once she heard this name, she would remember the time in her previous life when she was skinned and her tendons were taken out to be made into a human skin kite.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Jingheng held the girl in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.

Nightmare?

It would be fine if it was just a nightmare, but it was not a nightmare. It was something that really happened to her in her previous life. It was lingering and unforgettable. The thought of it caused her to feel a piercing pain.

Gu Jingheng lowered his head and kissed Nan Yuan between the eyebrows to comfort her. He patted Nan Yuan's back again and again, trying to calm her down.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of Zhaoyu. Do you know what kind of person would suffer from skinning and cramping?" Nan Yuan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jingheng. Her eyes were calm, but revealed a sense of despair.

Gu Jingheng was stunned, not understanding why Nan Yuan asked this question, but he still answered: "Corruption and treason."

Corruption...

Didn't she covet things that didn't belong to her in her previous life?

"Then, Your Highness, do you know the process of skinning?" Nan Yuan continued to ask.

Gu Jingheng frowned. Of course he knew, but it was not appropriate to tell Nan Yuan. He refused and said, "I don't know."

"I know." Nan Yuan climbed up from Gu Jingheng's arms and knelt in front of him.

She reached out and held Gu Jingheng's fingers, placed his fingers on the top of her head, and said calmly: "The first step of skinning is to shave the hair, then start from the top of the head, cut the scalp with the tip of the knife, and tear it hard."

"The second step is to pour mercury into the hole on the top of the head. The mercury sinks little by little, and the skin and flesh will gradually separate. This process is the most important part of skinning. Only if it is done well can a complete human skin be obtained."

"Then, when the mercury sinks to the bottom, you will have a complete human skin. You can use the human skin to make a kite. And you can use the tendons in my body to make the skeleton of the kite."

Nan Yuan held Gu Jingheng's hand, as if there was a complete set of human skin on Gu Jingheng's hand.

Her consciousness seemed to be stuck in memories. Her voice was very light and soft, but it fell clearly into Gu Jingheng's ears.

He seemed to know why Nan Yuan didn't let him shout "Feng Zheng". It turned out that he had a nightmare!

"After I was skinned, I was still conscious. Without my skin, I was just a pool of flesh and blood. They put mirrors around me so that I could watch with my own eyes as I struggled on the ground..." Nan Yuan was in a bad state. She said in a breakdown: "I struggled and struggled to crawl out. At that time, I wished someone could come and save me."

"No, you don't have to save me, just give me a quick death."

"But no, no one came to save me. I was the only one watching me wailing and wriggling. There was a long trail of blood behind me..."

Memories came flooding back, the pain was vivid.

Nan Yuan opened her eyes and looked towards the roof. She wanted to cry but her eyes were so dry that not a single tear came out.

Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Yuan's current appearance. Even though he was extremely smart, he didn't understand why Nan Yuan suddenly became like this.

"What punishment? What skinning? What are you talking about?" Gu Jingheng held Nan Yuan's hand, his eyes full of confusion.

Nan Yuan's gaze shifted from Gu Jingheng's hands to his eyes. A sneer flashed across her eyes, and then she restrained herself and said, "Didn't you ask me what nightmare I had? This is the nightmare I had."

"I dreamed that I was skinned by your Highness the Crown Prince, your future Crown Princess, and you delivered me to her hands with your own hands."

"I am just an insignificant canary in your hand. You tease me when you are happy and put me aside when you are unhappy. How can I compare to the dignity of the Crown Princess?"

"So when I got in the way of the Crown Princess, you would send me over without hesitation and humiliate me at will, just to make the Crown Princess calm down."

Gu Jingheng was confused by Nan Yuan's words. No matter in the past life or this life, he has always had only Nan Yuan. Where did the Crown Princess come from? Not to mention sending her over to let the Crown Princess vent her anger.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

Even when she changed her heart in her previous life and tried to escape from him, he simply locked her up. He only kept her for half a month, and then released her when he saw that she was depressed.

In the East Palace, she could go wherever she wanted, but there were more people to watch over her.

"I think you have a fever and are confused. You are thinking about all sorts of nonsense."

Still peeling?

He was very familiar with the method of skinning, which was one of the tortures in the imperial prison.

Skinning and pulling out the tendons is the most effective way to deal with stubborn spies. Often the prisoners will confess everything within an hour.

What's the point of using these methods on her? Does he need to use these tortures to make her speak?

Normally, if he used a little force, her eyes would turn red with pain, but if these tortures were just placed in front of her, she would be scared to tears.

Gu Jingheng reached out and felt the temperature of Nan Yuan's forehead, and it was indeed very hot.

"It turns out that he is confused."

He cursed under his breath, picked up the medicine on the table, reached out to test the temperature, and then put it into Nan Yuan's mouth.

"If you don't want me to call you Little Kite, I won't call you that in the future. Why would I make up a story that curses myself?"

As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of medicine and handed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."

Nan Yuan, it's useless. No matter in the past life or this life, no matter what you said or did, he will not care or take it to heart. He will just think that you are being unreasonable.

In fact, she already knew all this, but why did her heart still hurt so much?

Nan Yuan lowered her brows. There was no need for her to be hard on her body, so she drank the whole bowl of medicine. Her mouth felt bitter, and her heart was even more bitter.

Seeing Nan Yuan looking sickly, Gu Jingheng pinched her chin and stuffed a piece of maltose into her mouth.

In her previous life, Nan Yuan always needed him to coax her when she took medicine, and she would complain that the medicine was bitter after drinking it. Later, he carried a few candies with him just to coax her.

This habit has been maintained until now and has never changed.

Every time Nan Yuan ate candy, her mood would become better and she would be easy to coax.

Sure enough, Nan Yuan felt a sweet taste in her mouth, so she looked up at him, with a hint of light in her eyes, but more of confusion.

"Do you like it? How about another one?" Gu Jingheng reached out to peel off the candy wrapper.

"Gu Jingheng." Nan Yuan suddenly called out.

Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

He always allowed Nan Yuan to call him by his name, so he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Nan Yuan's eyes were a little moist, and her voice was a little choked up: "You... Can you not be so fickle?"

Sometimes he pretended to be caring and loving towards her, and sometimes he cruelly told her the truth. She really couldn't stand him like this.
