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

Upon seeing this, the Queen patted Nan Yuan's hand and said, "I was skeptical at first, but now I understand everything after seeing your reaction."

"Empress, I..." Nan Yuan wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She didn't even know when she revealed her true colors.

"No need to explain. I am unlucky and don't have the fate to have you as my daughter-in-law." The queen still looked gentle, which made Nan Yuan feel even worse.

She plotted against the Queen's own son, but the Queen was not angry at all.

"I didn't get the person I loved when I was young, I hope you can get him." The queen looked at Nan Yuan with eyes full of love.

When she looked at Nan Yuan, it was as if she saw herself when she was younger. At that time, she was also selfless for love, regardless of the difference in status and position. No matter what the person she liked was, she loved him the most.

It’s a pity that their love ended up being short-lived.

There are too many reasons to recall, and that feeling can only be buried deep in my heart.

She is now Heng'er's mother first, the queen second, and herself last.

No matter what she does, she must consider Heng'er's future.

"I hope you can get what I want." The Queen held Nan Yuan's hand tightly. "I have already informed the Prime Minister that Zhaixing will not be released before you get married."

"Heng'er won't be back for a while, so you can get married with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Nan Yuan looked up at the Queen and said, "Do you also have someone you love but cannot have?"

"Of course." The queen's smile was a little bitter.

She was unable to get the love she wanted when she was young, and then he died for her. She couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

The Queen seemed to not want to recall the past. She closed her eyes and said, "You haven't seen the princess's mansion that Heng'er selected for you yet, right?"

"Go and have a look. It's also his intention."

"Princess Xie is not an easy person to get along with. After you get married, you will live with her and you will inevitably suffer some grievances."

"It doesn't matter if you have a disagreement with Princess Xie, but I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between you and your wife."

"I will issue an imperial decree to allow you to get married in the princess's mansion. You will live in the princess's mansion after marriage. You will see each other less often and there will be fewer conflicts."

The Queen's plans for Nan Yuan bit by bit were like she was trying to find a way out for herself through Nan Yuan.

She is now the queen, with status and position, and the love of her husband. Everyone envies her.

But who knows how she managed to get through it bit by bit?

Because her family was powerful, her husband was wary of her. In the early days of their marriage, he was unhappy and even wanted to kill her. The situation did not improve until Heng'er was born.

If she had a choice back then, she definitely didn't want to repeat the same path in her life again.

"Thank you, Her Majesty." Nan Yuan said sincerely.

Nan Yuan stayed in the Queen's bedroom for a while, until the palace gate was about to be locked, then she suggested leaving.

After being escorted out of the palace by Nanny Zhang, Nan Yuan saw Nan Jiamu waiting at the door.

"I only found out about you being summoned to the palace when I got home. How was it, did nothing happen?" Nan Jiamu came forward.

Nan Yuan shook her head, but the things the Queen said kept appearing in her mind.

Nan Jiamu looked down at Nan Yuan and saw that she seemed to be worried about something.

"Nothing happened, so go home."

Hearing this, Nan Yuan raised her head and said, "Brother, I want to go to the princess's mansion, the one that was given to me."

Nan Jiamu was stunned for a moment, "Now?"

Nan Yuan nodded.

Nan Jiamu had the answer in his mind, and drove Nan Yuan to the princess's mansion.

Nan Yuan arrived at the door of the princess's residence, which was not far from the Nan Mansion and could be reached in an incense stick of time.

She looked up and saw the golden characters on the plaque were vigorous and powerful, with extraordinary style.

Walking further in, a nanny came out to greet people.

"Greetings, Princess Le'an." The nanny and the maid were very polite.

Nan Yuan raised her hand and exempted them from the formality.

"Princess, you are finally here. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent me and others to wait here for a long time."

The nanny led the way and took Nan Yuan to see the entire princess mansion.

"Princess, this pond was dug by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Fresh water was brought in, and a pavilion was built next to it for the princess to cool off in the summer."

Nan Yuan looked up and memories came to her mind.

The sound of chess pieces knocking, the falling lamp flowers, a cup of tea accompanied by the moonlight, if she could be like this with Gu Jingheng in her previous life, she would be more than happy.

Unfortunately……

Nan Yuan closed her eyes, feeling extremely bitter in her heart.

"Princess, look again. This is the study room. I have collected..."

"Okay, that's all for today."

Nan Yuan interrupted the nanny, turned around, and walked out as if escaping.

The nanny who was left alone was puzzled. The show had just begun, so why did the princess leave?

Nan Jiamu noticed that something was wrong with Nan Yuan and immediately followed her.

As soon as he left the princess's house, Nan Jiamu caught up with Nan Yuan.

"Can't bear to part with you?"

Nan Yuan took a few deep breaths and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She knew what Nan Jiamu was asking, but she would not regret the decision she had made.

"I'm willing to give it up, but I'm still a little uncomfortable for a while."

Nan Jiamu looked at Nan Yuan's red eyes, touched her hair, and said, "I don't know what happened between you two, but no matter what decision you make, I will support you. At worst... at worst, you can just resign and retire!"

"It's most important that our family is together."

Nan Jiamu comforted Nan Yuan.

"Let's go home." Nan Yuan nodded, feeling extremely complicated.

Beyond the Wall.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed golden, brilliant and beautiful like a fiery cloud.

The grassland is vast and covered with snow. In the distance, rolling mountains appear and disappear among the high mountains and steep cliffs, like a quiet yet mysterious painting.

On a high hill stood a handsome man in white.

The north wind was blowing, ruffling his clothes, making him float like a banished immortal.

Gu Jingheng held the letter in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, outlining a faint arc.

"I miss you when I'm walking, and I miss you when I sit down."

It seems that his daughter A Yuan really misses him. The words in the letters are getting fewer and fewer, but the affection is getting stronger and stronger.

Gu Jingheng turned the letter in his hand over and over again. There were only eight words in it. With his speed of reading ten lines at a glance, he could finish reading it in less than a second. But he kept reading it over and over again.

He was somewhat curious about what kind of expression Nan Yuan had when she wrote this letter. She was always reserved, and when she finished writing these eight words, her eyes must have been flushed with shame, fearing that others would see it.
