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

"What? She's going to come see you again?" When Shen Zhaixing heard Gu Jingheng say this, she looked at him with an expression of disappointment.

He really couldn't understand why. What was there to look for?

Nan Yuan is just the daughter of a small imperial physician. If he really likes her, he can make her a concubine after he marries the Crown Princess. But is he really going to give her the position of Crown Princess?

To take a step back, even if Gu Jingheng really wanted to give the position of Crown Princess to Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan might not want it.

For such an ungrateful woman, would he really have such close contact with Nan Yuan before he married the Crown Princess and brought her into the Eastern Palace?

How would he save the future Crown Princess's reputation by doing this?

If the future Crown Princess is someone who is easy to get along with, that would be fine.

If it was a difficult person to meet, she would probably remember this incident for the rest of her life. When she becomes the head of the family in the future, she would definitely not be nice to Nan Yuan.

By then, Gu Jingheng's backyard would definitely be in turmoil!

Such blatant favoritism may not be a good thing for Nan Yuan.

"Now that you're done, you can leave."

Gu Jingheng's face darkened. He knew what Shen Zhaixing meant, but he would not let this happen.

The position of his Crown Princess will definitely be Nan Yuan, and Nan Yuan can only be his Crown Princess.

Shen Zhaixing saw that Gu Jingheng looked unhappy, so he quickly stopped talking and put the matter aside.

"No, no, no, it's not necessary. We don't need to be angry about this matter. If you want to marry her, marry her. If you want her to do anything, do it. I won't control her and I can't control her. I really have something important to do when I come to you this time. Don't chase me away yet."

Gu Jingheng didn't even raise his head, and used the red brush in his hand to make marks on the memorial.

Shen Zhaixing carefully looked at Gu Jingheng's face and felt that he was not really angry, so he said tentatively: "Chu Yanzhi has encountered a lot of trouble. The people headed by Zhang Zhongcheng are ready to make a move and secretly want to attack Chu Yanzhi."

Although Shen Zhaixing didn't know what Chu Yanzhi had been plotting during this period, he intuitively felt that Chu Yanzhi must have done things under the instructions of Gu Jingheng, so as soon as there was any movement on Chu Yanzhi's side, he immediately came to inform Gu Jingheng.

After hearing this, Gu Jingheng finally put down his writing and frowned.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that Chu Yanzhi's holding of the imperial examination and selecting officials from poor students would definitely offend many people and would inevitably encounter many obstacles in the process.

But he didn't expect that someone had such a sensitive nose. Before the thing was done, he smelled the smell and started to come out to stop it.

The ink from the pen tip dripped down, staining the paper red. Gu Jingheng's fingers gripping the pen gradually gained strength, and his knuckles turned white.

Shen Zhaixing stood beside him and felt a chill. Based on his understanding of Gu Jingheng, he knew that Gu Jingheng was starting to get angry. He also knew that someone was going to be in trouble next.

"They still have time to find things to do, which means they are too idle. It's time for me to find them something to do." Gu Jingheng's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"What do you need me to do?" Shen Zhaixing came up and asked.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Shen Zhaixing and whispered a few words into her ear.

After Shen Zhaixing left, Gu Jingheng looked out the window and saw a dark shadow flash into the house.

"If there is any movement over there, please inform me in time." Gu Jingheng said in a calm voice.

"Yes." The man answered respectfully and turned to leave the house.

Gu Jingheng took out the paper stained with ink and threw it away, replaced it with a new piece of paper, and continued to deal with the official documents that he had not finished just now.

He followed the princess around for a whole day yesterday, and the piled up documents could have formed a mountain.

Gu Jingheng rubbed his eyebrows and continued to deal with these boring documents.

General's Mansion.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

Chu Yunni glanced at the door coldly and did not answer. She just lowered her head and continued to look dejectedly at the broken whip in front of her.

Chu Yanzhi waited for a long time outside the door but no one answered him, so he kicked the door open.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chu Yunni's dejected face and the whip neatly broken into two pieces placed in front of her.

Chu Yanzhi frowned, walked up to Chu Yunni, and said, "How many days have you locked yourself up in the room just for a broken whip? Even a healthy person would become sick because of you."

Chu Yunni did not show any particularly strong emotions in the face of Chu Yanzhi's reproach. Her eyes were fixed on the broken whip in front of her, as if the whip had some magical power that attracted her.

Chu Yanzhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he raised his hand, picked it up and threw it away.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Yunni finally reacted. She stood up and glared at Chu Yanzhi, "Why can't you just leave me alone?"

Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question. "Quiet? You still want some peace and quiet, but look at the horrible state you are in now. How can you be quiet and at peace?"

"Have you forgotten? Who was it that was so confident when we were outside the Great Wall? He said that he would make great plans after arriving in the capital and make..."

But before Chu Yanzhi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Yunni.

"Chu Yanzhi, that's enough!"

Chu Yunni was so angry that she was shaking all over. She slammed the table and stood up: "It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs."

"Get out now, immediately, right now!" Chu Yunni pointed at the door and yelled at Chu Yanzhi, "From today on, you are not allowed to step into my room without my permission!"

"Chu Yunni!" Chu Yanzhi was angered by her words, "What's your attitude? After all, I'm your brother, why are you yelling at me like that?"

Chu Yanzhi really didn't understand. His sister has always been a person who can let go and consider the overall situation. How could she become like this just because of a whip?

Isn't it just a whip?

If it breaks, can't you just buy another one?

Why would she lock herself in the room for more than ten days? She even refused to take the position specially arranged for her by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

That means you're working under the Queen!

What a great opportunity this is to be able to show up in front of the Queen Mother and leave a good impression on her in advance. This will be a great help for her to enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess in the future!

But what about her? Doesn’t she understand this truth?

No, she understood, she even understood it much earlier than I did!

But the most hateful thing is that even though she understood how important this position was, she still refused to go just because of a broken whip and gave up such a good opportunity.

What on earth is going on in her mind?

Chu Yanzhi was so angry at what Chu Yunni said that his face turned red and his neck protruded, but looking at Chu Yunni's dejected face, no matter how angry he was, he didn't know where to vent it.

He took a deep breath and told himself that this was his relative and he couldn't get angry.

"Forget it, think about it carefully. I won't force you."

Chu Yanzhi raised his foot and wanted to go out, but halfway through, he turned back.

"What are you doing back again?" Chu Yunni's tone was very bad.

Chu Yanzhi glanced at her and didn't bother with her. He reached into his waist and took out something, then placed the newly made whip on her desk.

"Your original whip was made of thousand-year-old black iron. I searched all over the capital and finally found a piece of thousand-year-old black iron, but it was not made by one person. The craftsmanship may be quite different, but I gave the original drawings to the craftsman and watched him work on it for two days, trying to restore it as much as possible. This is the new whip. Try it yourself and see if it fits your hand."

After Chu Yanzhi said this, he sighed, turned around and didn't walk out.

Chu Yunni looked at the whip on the table and was stunned for a moment.
