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

Princess House.

Nan Yuan's body was almost recovered, and she tried to get out of bed and walk around.

"Is it possible? Do you want me to support you?" Gu Jingheng sat beside the bed, watching Nan Yuan moving slowly, and couldn't help asking.

Nan Yuan shook her head and tried to walk slowly by herself. After walking two rounds, she was sweating profusely.

"After lying down for three months, I felt like I couldn't walk anymore."

"So what if you can't walk? Wherever you want to go, I'll carry you." Gu Jingheng wiped the sweat from Nan Yuan's forehead.

Nan Yuan seemed to have heard something terrible. She quickly stood up and said, "I'd better walk two more laps!"

"Take a break."

Gu Jingheng pulled her back.

Nan Yuan fell into his arms, and suddenly, sniffed at him like a kitten.

"doing what?"

"Why don't you smell good anymore?" Nan Yuan tilted her head and looked at Gu Jingheng: "I remember you smelled good before."

"As soon as I see you, I want to get close to you. Sometimes, I even wonder if you have poisoned me."

Gu Jingheng was startled when he heard this and his expression changed.

Nan Yuan was very keenly aware of it, and asked closer: "Did you really poison me?"

"Poison?" Gu Jingheng looked down at Nan Yuan, lifted her chin, and didn't answer directly: "If there really was such a good poison in the world, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and women."

Nan Yuan thought about it and realized that there was no way there could be such a strange poison.

If there really was one, she would have wanted to give it to Gu Jingheng in her previous life first, so that she wouldn't end up...

Oh, never mind. It’s all in the past. There’s no need to mention it again.

Seeing that Nan Yuan didn't ask too many questions, Gu Jingheng darkened his eyes slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"What's wrong with you? You're looking sad?"

Nan Yuan raised her head and asked.

"I was scolded." Gu Jingheng said lightly.

"Were you scolded? Who dares to scold you?" Nan Yuan said in disbelief.

Is there anyone in this world who dares to scold Gu Jingheng? Aren't you afraid of death?

"Not only that, but he cursed me in person, by name." Gu Jingheng pinched his eyebrows. He got a headache when he thought of that long article.

The imperial examination system began to show results and indeed attracted many talented people, but it also attracted some people who criticized it.

Even if you scold him, you have to accept it happily.

He had never seen a prince so aggrieved.

Nan Yuan blinked her eyes. She was relieved when she heard that. She thought he was being sarcastic to her!

She has never dared to name names, at most she would just make indirect accusations.

"I feel like you were quite happy when that person scolded you."

Nan Yuan did not sense any anger from Gu Jingheng, she could only feel that he had a headache. He must have felt that what the man said made some sense, but he just couldn't change it for the time being.

Gu Jingheng lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch Nan Yuan's cheek, and said with a smile: "You are always good at guessing my thoughts. As long as you want to guess, there is nothing you can't guess."

Sometimes, I just want to make him mad and make him angry to death!

Nan Yuan dodged for a moment, took Gu Jingheng's hand away, and said, "Stop touching me and be honest."

If only she could guess it all.

"I'm just touching you." Gu Jingheng saw that Nan Yuan didn't let him move and insisted on groping around, just like he had to prove his presence.

Nan Yuan could only keep hiding, until she had nowhere to retreat, so she curled up at the end of the bed, using a pillow to separate the two of them.

"Alright, alright, I won't fight with you anymore." Nan Yuan's body hadn't recovered yet, and she was really tired after fighting for so long, so she had to beg for mercy: "Didn't you just say you had a headache? Can I give you a massage?"

Gu Jingheng stopped after hearing this, rested his head on Nan Yuan's legs and closed his eyes.

Nan Yuan stretched out her hand and pressed it on him. The sunlight sprinkled on the two of them, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"What did that person scold you for that gave you such a headache?" Nan Yuan asked casually.

Gu Jingheng closed his eyes and said calmly, "He is a blockhead who doesn't know how to adapt. He listed 25 crimes against me, ranging from government affairs to travel, citing scriptures and classics. It's a headache to read."

Nan Yuan listened to this, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that what he said was quite right."

"How to say?"

"History is a mirror that can tell us about rise and fall; people are a mirror that can tell us about gains and losses." Nan Yuan pressed his acupuncture points and said, "Your Highness, no matter how smart and capable you are, you still lack someone who dares to speak out and give you advice."

"No one is free from making mistakes. The worst thing is to make a mistake without knowing it. This person dares to risk his head to give advice to Your Highness. It's rare in the world. Your Highness must be very happy to have such a talented person, right?"

Nan Yuan felt that if she could understand it, there was no reason why Gu Jingheng couldn't understand it either.

The fact that he just had a headache instead of wanting to kill anyone showed that he was very satisfied with the advice that person gave him.

"I'm not particularly happy, but I plan to make him a junior official at the Dali Temple. Such an upright official is suitable for handling lawsuits and being a parent official."

"But he has committed quite a few beheadings." Gu Jingheng thought about what his secret guards had reported some time ago about this man and Zhaoren.

In fact, he didn't mind giving this man the position of a royal consort. Marrying off a princess and getting a mirror in return was not bad.

"Hmm?" Nan Yuan was a little confused, but Gu Jingheng didn't say much.

He didn't say much, so Nan Yuan didn't ask any more questions either, but just continued to press his acupoints.

"Your Highness." Nan Yuan suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

"When will my cousin be back?"

As soon as he heard Xie Luochen's name, the air around Gu Jingheng suddenly became cold.

"Do you have a problem with him?"

"Yes." Nan Yuan said truthfully.

Gu Jingheng jumped up from Nan Yuan's lap and stared at her for a moment with cold eyes.

Nan Yuan knew that he was unhappy, but she didn't coax him. Some things have to be done before they can be said. It would be meaningless to say them in advance.

"Can't you?"

Gu Jingheng sneered twice and said sarcastically: "Okay, why not? You are a legitimate couple, what does being alone mean to you?"

After Gu Jingheng finished speaking, he looked at Nan Yuan's expression.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any sign of Nan Yuan trying to coax him, so he left in anger.

He was so obviously angry, but she couldn't see it?

At night, when it is late and quiet.

The more Gu Jingheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He walked in from the back door of the princess's mansion. He wanted to see what Nan Yuan wanted to say to Xie Luochen.

After climbing in through the window, Gu Jingheng turned off the lights first, making sure the room was dark before walking to Nan Yuan.

"I heard that you want to see me?"

Nan Yuan was lying on the couch reading a book, but now that the room was dark, she had to put the book down and sit up.

"Why don't you light the lamp every time you come?" Nan Yuan finally asked the question.

But it’s better not to light the lights today. Only a small number of people know that she was injured, and it’s better for Xie Luochen not to know, so he doesn’t have to worry.

Gu Jingheng was silent for a moment, then said, "The conditions outside are not good, and I have to sleep outdoors after rushing back. I don't want you to see me like this now."

His reason was very reasonable and Nan Yuan did not doubt it.

"You haven't told me yet, what do you want to say to me?"

Hearing this, Nan Yuan fell silent for a rare moment.

Gu Jingheng narrowed his eyes, walked to Nan Yuan, sat down, and reached out to touch Nan Yuan's face.

Nan Yuan grabbed it and slapped it.

"Oh, you can't be touched?" Gu Jingheng was already angry with Nan Yuan in the morning, and now he was not even allowed to be touched. He became even angrier and said something without thinking.

"Who was it that hugged and nibbled me a few days ago, saying 'Don't talk, kiss me', and now ignores me when I mention my clothes?"

This was harsh, but Nan Yuan couldn't refute it.

She had no choice but to change the subject and said, "I called you here for something serious."

"What's the important matter?" Gu Jingheng sulked, playing with Nan Yuan's hair and ignoring her wishes.

"Something happened between me and Gu Jingheng."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jingheng's hands stiffened and his black hair slipped down his fingers.

Nan Yuan didn't want to hide anything, so she told Gu Jingheng everything that had happened during this period.

Gu Jingheng listened and suddenly didn't know what Nan Yuan meant or what she wanted to do.

So he had to remain silent and wait for Nan Yuan to continue speaking.

"I know I am sorry for you in this matter," Nan Yuan took a deep breath and said, "but you and I both know that there is no love between you and me. At most, we have interests. Or maybe we have had more sex during this period, but it was all consensual, and no one suffered any loss."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Jingheng took a long time to find Xie Luochen's voice, and asked calmly.

He seemed to have guessed what Nan Yuan was going to say, and his heart beat faster and faster, fearing that he would miss something.

"It's my fault that I got entangled with Gu Jingheng after I married you. I will compensate you."

"You also said that you married me to make up for the deficit of the palace. During this period, I didn't do anything else, but I made up for the deficit. I also took care of the shop and the farm. As long as they are managed properly, maintaining daily expenses will not be a problem. This is my compensation to you."

"In the future, if you need anything, you can come to me. I still have money. If you want help with your career, I can also help you think of a solution. Or if there is a girl you like, I can also help you with some advice."

"Even if our marriage is over, you are still my cousin, and I will help you in any way I can."

"It's unfair for you to continue this marriage, so you can divorce me or get a divorce. It's up to you."

Nan Yuan knew very well that she would never be able to get rid of Gu Jingheng in this life. Instead of resisting any further, she would only hurt the people around her.

But now she and Chu Yunni are incompatible. If she wants to save her life, she can only rely on Gu Jingheng.

But once you have to rely on Gu Jingheng, you have to pay something.

These are unfair to Xie Luochen.

So she thought about confessing everything first and leaving the decision to him.

Gu Jingheng pressed his violently beating heart, and joy spread out.

He asked, "So, you are in love with the prince?"

Nan Yuan drooped her eyelashes and thought again and again.

She thought, she must like it.

"I like it." Nan Yuan said truthfully. She had no need to hide it from Xie Luochen.

"Haha..." Gu Jingheng almost couldn't control the joy in his heart and laughed out loud, but he quickly controlled himself.

"What are you laughing at?" Nan Yuan keenly noticed that something was wrong with the other party and asked in confusion.

"I laughed out of anger." Gu Jingheng lied without changing his expression.

"I know about this."

After Gu Jingheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

He couldn't stay any longer. If he did, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would ruin the scene.

"Thank you..." Nan Yuan didn't understand why he reacted like that.

According to normal people's theory, it is normal to be angry and it is normal to bargain for benefits, but it is abnormal to be so calm.

But before she could even ask, the person had already left.

outdoor.

Gu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief. Nan Yuan liked him, and she still liked him now. She wanted to divorce Xie Luochen for him.

The morning's gloom was now gone.

A Yuan didn't tell him in advance, which made him worry for so long in vain, and he thought it was...

I really thought too much.

He said, after being with him for five years, how could I fall in love with someone else.

"Master." Ah Qi appeared behind Gu Jingheng and knelt down to apologize.

Gu Jingheng glanced sideways, and it happened to be a good mood for him, so he was lucky.

"You've just received your punishment, so go and take a rest for a while. I'll give you paid leave." Gu Jingheng said lightly, turned around and left.

What happened that day was not entirely Ah Qi's fault. Part of the reason was that he did not clearly mention Nan Yuan, the person he should pay attention to, causing Ah Qi to mistakenly believe that he was paying attention to Chu Yunni's movements.

It was an unfriendly misunderstanding, but considering that Ah Qi had been with him for so many years without any mistakes, he would forgive him this time.

Only after seeing the prince leave did Ah Qi feel relieved. Everything was finally alright this time.

But before he could feel relieved, he heard a "bang" and the sound of porcelain breaking.

"Someone is coming...well..."

Yue Ran originally came to deliver medicine to Nan Yuan, but suddenly found someone she didn't recognize outside Nan Yuan's courtyard. When she was about to call for the security guard, someone covered her mouth.

"I am the Crown Prince's man."

……

the next day.

Nan Yuan's injuries were almost healed. She got out of bed and walked around, with Bai Zhi and Yue Ran supporting her.

"Yueran, why is your face so red?"

Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Nan Yuan also turned her head and found that Yue Ran's face was flushed.

Nan Yuan looked up at the sun. It was already past summer and it was a little chilly in autumn, so she wouldn't get a heatstroke!

Yue Ran subconsciously touched her face and said hesitantly, "I... I don't know, maybe, maybe it's from the sun."

"You go sit under the shade of the tree for a while. Bai Zhi will stay with me." Nan Yuan raised her hand and let Yue Ran leave.

"Yes."

Nan Yuan looked at Bai Zhi again and asked, "We haven't looked at the account book for three months. Let's go find Jiang Song."

Bai Zhi hurriedly went to harness the car and took Nan Yuan to the store to find Jiang Song.

Jiang Song didn't know that Nan Yuan was injured. She only knew that she hadn't seen Nan Yuan for a long time. When they met, they reminisced about the past and she took out all the account books for that period for Nan Yuan to review.

Nan Yuan spent almost the entire morning looking at the account books. When she looked at Jiang Song, she suddenly asked, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Ningtian." Jiang Song said.

"Ningtian? The border between Dayong and Tianqi?"

Jiang Song nodded and said, "When I was a child, there were frequent wars there, so I went to the capital, met some bad guys, and was sold to a brothel after traveling to many places."

Nan Yuan was silent for a moment, and she seemed to have mentioned Jiang Song’s sad story.

"It's okay, it's all over." Jiang Song didn't really care. She changed the subject and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that the customs of the people in the border areas are different from ours, so I'm just curious."

Hearing this, Jiang Song smiled and said, "That's really a big difference. For example, people in the border areas are good at poisonous insects and can control people's minds!"

"Gu insect?"
