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

"Boom-"

Nan Yuan was startled by the sound, and the wooden ladle in her hand fell to the ground.

She turned around and saw Shen Zhaixing standing behind her, staring at her. She didn't know how long he had been staring at her.

Nan Yuan felt a little flustered and didn't know how to explain her current behavior.

If Gu Jingheng heard that she poured cold water on him today, the consequences would be disastrous.

When Nan Yuan was thinking about what excuse to come up with, Shen Zhaixing walked towards her.

He looked Nan Yuan up and down, stroked his chin and said, "You really have ulterior motives!"

Nan Yuan's eyes revealed panic and fear, but she still tried to maintain her expression and pretended to be calm, "Mr. Shen, where did you get this from?"

"I'm just taking a shower here. Mr. Shen, don't you know that you shouldn't look at anything inappropriate?" Nan Yuan tried to change the subject.

But Shen Zhaixing didn't buy it. He asked sternly, "Do you think that I can ignore the fact that you have bad intentions just because you are talking to me about these indecent things?"

Nan Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Shen Zhaixing continued, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. You just want to continue to be sick so that Ah Heng will continue to feel sorry for you. I tell you, don't even think about it!"

He gritted his teeth as he said this, and fire seemed to be spitting out of his eyes.

"Ah Heng is the prince. Do you know how many things he has to deal with every day? Not only do you not feel sorry for him, you also create so many troubles to give him a headache. You are simply a vicious woman!"

"He has been dealing with things during the day these days, and he can't rest well at night because he has to take care of you. You insist on keeping Ah Heng in your hands just for your little thoughts. Will you die if you don't see him for a day? Can't you let him rest?"

"You're willing to do anything to win his favor. I really don't know what Ah Heng sees in you?"

Shen Zhaixing glanced at Nan Yuan with disdain, suppressing his anger.

Nan Yuan was stunned by what Shen Zhaixing said. It was true that she deliberately got sick, but just... to win favor?

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhaixing had already thought of the answer for her.

Yes! She deliberately got sick just to win favor.

Nan Yuan suppressed the smile on her lips, looked at Shen Zhaixing, and said confidently: "Yes, I just want to win your favor, what's wrong with that?"

"I'm in this position, what's wrong with competing for favor? No matter what method I use, as long as I can keep Gu Jingheng, isn't it enough?"

"You can try to tell Gu Jingheng about this matter and see if he is still in the mood to handle official business after hearing about it?"

"You can see whether he feels sorry for me or blames me when he finds out that I came to pour cold water on him in the middle of the night. Go ahead and tell him!"

Nan Yuan was aggressive and not afraid of Shen Zhaixing's anger at all.

Shen Zhaixing didn't expect Nan Yuan to actually refute him, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

"you you......"

Nan Yuan looked nonchalant: "What's wrong with me?"

"You are despicable!" Shen Zhaixing accused, "You want me to tell Ah Heng so that he can come and take care of you, right? I tell you, I won't go. Why should I let you get what you want?"

Having said that, Shen Zhaixing turned around and was about to leave.

Halfway through the walk, he turned back, picked up the wooden ladle on the ground, threw it into the water tank, and said to Nan Yuan: "Go ahead and water it. It's better to water it more. It's better to water it to death than to make it sick!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Nan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Shen Zhaixing leave.

Fortunately, it was Shen Zhaixing who saw it this time. If it was someone else, she would not be able to hide it.

Nan Yuan quickly cleaned up the scene and returned to the tent.

By the time the maid brought the hot water, Nan Yuan had already changed her clothes.

"No need to wait on me, go down."

Nan Yuan said behind the screen.

"Yes." The maid poured the hot water into the wooden barrel and then retreated respectfully.

Day two.

When Gu Jingheng came to tell Nan Yuan that they were about to set off for the frontier, Nan Yuan was already lying in bed and unable to get up.

"Why is your illness so serious?" Gu Jingheng asked with concern.

He reached out his hand to Nan Yuan's forehead and found it was very hot.

Nan Yuan opened her eyes and said weakly, "I didn't sleep well last night. I guess my cold got worse."

Gu Jingheng frowned and looked at Chu Zhixu: "Cure the disease!"

Chu Zhixu checked Nan Yuan's pulse, looked at her with a slightly gloomy look, and then said, "Don't rush, you have to take care of it slowly."

Nan Yuan also lowered her eyelashes. She felt that although Chu Zhixu was a very good doctor, he should not be able to know that her cold was aggravated by the cold water.

"Is it possible to recuperate on the way?" Gu Jingheng asked again.

Chu Zhixu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's OK, but it will leave a root of disease."

Gu Jingheng clenched his fists. He thought Nan Yuan’s illness was almost healed, so it was just right for her to accompany him to the frontier.

I just didn't expect that the condition would suddenly worsen.

Although he wanted Nan Yuan to follow him to the frontier, he couldn't really ignore her health. She would be with him for the rest of his life, and she couldn't afford to get sick.

"Forget it." Gu Jingheng held Nan Yuan's hand and said, "Go back to the capital first and take good care of your body."

"Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back and marry you." Gu Jingheng kissed Nan Yuan on the center of her eyebrows.

Chu Zhixu felt that he should not look at anything inappropriate, so he packed up his medicine box and went out, leaving the rest of the time for them to say goodbye.

Nan Yuan nodded and looked up at Gu Jingheng. She didn't know what was wrong with him and why he was still staying here and not leaving?

Isn’t it urgent to go beyond the Great Wall?

"Ayuan, don't you have anything you want to say to me?" There was some resentment in Gu Jingheng's tone.

She was very close to him the day before yesterday, why did he turn against her today? He went to the frontier and was gone for several months, and she didn't even try to keep him?

Nan Yuan heard the depression in Gu Jingheng's tone, so she struggled to sit up, put the iris bracelet she made last night when she couldn't sleep on Gu Jingheng's hand, and said, "If you miss me, look at this wreath."

When he saw the wreath in his hand, Gu Jingheng's frown finally relaxed a little.

"I will always carry it with me."

He looked at Nan Yuan with tenderness in his eyes. He really couldn't bear to leave Nan Yuan. Their relationship had just gotten on the right track, but now they had to face separation. It was really hateful.

But things outside the Great Wall are urgent. If we don’t go now, there will be trouble in the future.

In order for them to feel more at ease in the future, he must handle this matter properly.

"Just wait for me obediently. I will come back in three months." Gu Jingheng held the bracelet and gently kissed Nan Yuan on her lips.

Nan Yuan closed her eyes and nodded: "Yeah."

When Gu Jingheng was about to leave, Nan Yuan suddenly called out to him, "Gu Jingheng."

Gu Jingheng turned around and looked at Nan Yuan, only to see Nan Yuan looking at him with slightly red eyes.

He suddenly had an urge to take Nan Yuan away at all costs, but her body would not allow it.

He came back to his senses, walked to Nan Yuan, rubbed the top of Nan Yuan's head, smiled and comforted: "Can't bear to leave me?"

"It's not like I won't be back, why do you make it seem like we're parting forever?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyelashes. After this separation, it would not be like this again when they meet again.

She liked Gu Jingheng very much, but she wanted to live in peace with her family more, so even if she was reluctant, she had to break up with Gu Jingheng.

Let today be considered as the day she and Gu Jingheng say farewell.

But why did she still feel so uncomfortable?

Nan Yuan's eyes fell on Gu Jingheng's hand. Suddenly, she bit it hard and didn't let go until blood appeared.

She said in a muffled voice: "Take care."

Gu Jingheng looked at the teeth marks on his wrist and couldn't help but smile. What's the logic of biting him and then asking him to take care of himself?

But no matter what the reason is, as long as Nan Yuan likes it.

"Really gone."

Gu Jingheng said something.

Nan Yuan turned sideways and covered herself with the quilt: "Hurry up and go."

Gu Jingheng looked at the small bulge in the quilt and felt a little sad, but he still turned around and left.

He didn't know that he would regret it every time he thought of today's separation.
