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

"Your Highness, which princess is that?" Chu Yunni rode her horse to Gu Jingheng's side and looked at Nan Yuan who was standing beside him.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan with a cold and distant look. He only stayed there for a second before looking away.

Just irrelevant people.

He wanted to say this, but swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

Nan Yuan is the most sensitive person. Some words are easy to say but difficult to take back.

"drive."

Gu Jingheng pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and walked forward. In his black tights, he looked tall, handsome and graceful.

Chu Yunni looked at his back and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

The more untainted he was, the more she liked him.

"Follow me, don't waste the Crown Prince's time."

Chu Yunni gave instructions to everyone, then rode her horse and followed behind Gu Jingheng.

Before leaving, she turned to look at Nan Yuan who was still standing there. She was wearing a red dress, with beautiful features, gentle as water, and flawless beauty.

Chu Yunni felt a little sad. Are all the people in the capital so good-looking?

"Yuan'er, what's wrong?"

Xie Luochen's voice pulled Nan Yuan out of her memories.

It's in the past.

After all, her current situation is different from that in her previous life. She is married and will no longer have any involvement with Gu Jingheng, and will no longer have any relationship with Chu Yunni. Everything that happened in her previous life will never happen again.

But why did she still feel uncomfortable when she saw Gu Jingheng's cold and distant gaze?

Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan, what are you thinking about? Isn't this what you planned? Isn't this what you want most?

He no longer pesters me, and everything is fine. This is the best thing. You can't... you can't be so greedy, wanting this and that.

"It's okay, let's go home." Nan Yuan lowered her eyes, hiding the complicated emotions in her eyes.

How can it be that it's just a look that makes you so upset?

Nan Yuan warned herself in her heart and thought about her tragic death in her previous life thousands of times before she was able to suppress the ripples in her heart.

One must be careful in one's behavior. Even the slightest mistake will lead to irreparable regret!

"Let's go." Nan Yuan raised her foot and walked forward.

Xie Luochen saw Nan Yuan's expression and didn't ask any more questions, but he knew that Nan Yuan and Gu Jingheng were both feeling bad!

It's right to feel uncomfortable. If they feel uncomfortable, he will feel good in his heart. It's no wonder that he specially brought Nan Yuan out to meet the prince!

The two got on the carriage and drove towards Nan Mansion.

Royal study room.

"You've been back for so many days, why don't you say go to see your mother?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked up to ask.

Gu Jingheng stood in front of the hall, stroking the curved jade pendant on his waist with his fingers, and changed the subject: "I will handle the affairs of the Nan family in the future, so you don't have to worry about it, father."

"Master has taught you the doctrine of the mean since you were young, and you learned it very well when you were little. Have you forgotten it now?" The emperor stared at him for a long while, with no sign of emotion on his face.

Gu Jingheng knew very well that his unscrupulous display of personal preferences was extremely dangerous for a crown prince.

Since ancient times, emperors should not have personal preferences, and all decisions and actions should be based on the interests of the country.

He should be like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, abandoning all joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and become a saint, a wise monarch praised by everyone.

He understood this, but he wasn't going to give in now.

Gu Jingheng said calmly: "Father, I will handle the Nan family's affairs and will not delay government affairs."

"Let Hu Maocai move all the memorials to the Crown Prince's Mansion today. I will handle them. You can spend more time with your mother."

Gu Jingheng understood the emperor's psychology very well. He wanted to be a wise prince. Once anything hindered him from becoming a wise prince, the emperor would take action to destroy all these things.

The pastries he loved in childhood and the polo he loved in his youth all ended up the same: as long as he showed a little bit of interest in them, he would never see them again the next day.

Now, is it going to be like this again?

But he is no longer the boy he was.

"Forget it, it's up to you." The emperor waved his hand.

"My son, please retire."

Gu Jingheng turned and left.

"Hu Maocai, move all the things to the prince's mansion." The emperor looked at the memorials on the table and threw the half-approved memorial on the table.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The chief eunuch Hu Maocai immediately and respectfully ordered people to move the memorial away.

"In addition, the Grand Master and Grand Tutor have all gone to the Prince's Mansion. I don't want to keep idle people."

Hearing this, Hu Maocai nodded and agreed: "I will do it right away."

Your Majesty obviously loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much, but he never looks happy every time he sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts.

Oh, never mind. The emperor’s will is hard to predict. I might even lose my head if I’m not careful.

Gu Jingheng went to the Queen's palace and sat for a while, listening to the Queen's indirect questions. After leaving the palace, he went straight to the Prime Minister's residence.

During this period, he also ordered the secret guards to find a ventriloquist and send him to the Prince's Mansion, as he would have other uses for him.

Prime Minister's House.

"Prime Minister, where is Zhaixing? He has been locked up for so long, it's time to let him out." Gu Jingheng sat in the hall, sipping tea leisurely.

The Prime Minister was beside him, looking at Gu Jingheng, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Prime Minister, please just say what you want to say." Gu Jingheng put down the teacup and looked up at the Prime Minister.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you don't know, this rebellious son... Alas, I can't even say it. If I don't take care of him, I'm afraid he will really make a big fuss." Prime Minister Shen sighed.

"Oh?" Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, this rebellious son is usually domineering and bullies others. Normally, I turn a blind eye to it. But this time, he has gone too far. He actually raped a commoner girl!" Prime Minister Shen frowned with a worried look on his face. He doted on this only son too much and spoiled him rotten.

He had been in a lot of trouble during this period.

"What this rebellious son did is too absurd. I really can't stand it."

Prime Minister Shen stood up, bowed to the Crown Prince, and said, "I know this rebellious son is used to pretending to be pitiful. I guess he must have annoyed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I came here to plead for him."

"I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to stop interfering in the affairs of this rebellious son and allow me to properly discipline him, otherwise he will cause great disaster sooner or later."

Gu Jingheng remained silent.

After Prime Minister Shen finished speaking, he stood there waiting.

a long time.

Gu Jingheng raised his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Shen, smiling faintly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister has misunderstood. Zhaixing is working for me."

Prime Minister Shen doubted his ears. "Your Highness, what did you just say?"

"It was me who abducted the girl, and Zhaixing followed my orders." Gu Jingheng said it directly.

Prime Minister Shen's originally straight back suddenly bent, and he looked much more depressed. He couldn't believe that this matter was done by Gu Jingheng.

But it is even more impossible for the prince to tarnish his own reputation just to get him to release the person!

Could it be that what that rebellious son said was really the truth?

"Prime Minister, can I go and pick up Zhaixing now?" Gu Jingheng stood up and asked Prime Minister Shen.

"......" Prime Minister Shen opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and finally could only nod.

This matter has gone beyond his control.

He is just a prime minister, how can he take care of the prince's affairs?

The backyard had already received the news, and when Gu Jingheng came out, the door that had been locked up for Shen Zhaixing for a month had already been opened.

As soon as Shen Zhaixing saw Gu Jingheng coming, she jumped up happily, ran up to hug him, and shouted excitedly: "Great, I knew you were back, I can leave this damn place!"

"Come down." Gu Jingheng pushed him away and sat to one side, and asked with deep eyes: "Tell me, what did she do in the three months when I was away?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhaixing was filled with rage and accused Nan Yuan without mercy.

He felt a little thirsty after talking so much, so he poured himself a pot of tea.

"Ah Heng, I think it's useless for you to keep a heartless and ungrateful woman like this by your side. You might as well let her go. She will regret it someday."

After talking about what happened in the past three months, Shen Zhaixing concluded.

Gu Jingheng just listened quietly, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time, and said calmly: "Soon, she will come to see me."

The corners of Shen Zhaixing's mouth twitched, which meant that she didn't hear a word of what he just said?
