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

Nan Yuan didn’t know when the torture ended, she only knew that she was woken up by someone splashing water on her.

What he saw when he opened his eyes was Princess Xie, who had a furious look on her face. In her hand, she was holding the unsigned divorce letter.

"Tell me, what is this? What did you do?"

Princess Xie threw the divorce letter in her hand in Nan Yuan's face.

Nan Yuan had a dazed expression as she stared at the divorce letter blankly.

"Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan, look at yourself now, what on earth did you do?" Princess Xie felt even more angry when she saw Nan Yuan's body covered with scars.

She is an experienced person, how could she not understand what happened to Nan Yuan to make her current appearance?

"Luo Chen is out, there is no way he will come back. Who were you fooling around with? Where is that adulterer?" Princess Xie said as she began to look everywhere, trying to catch the adulterer.

Nan Yuan was still slumped on the bed, not moving at all, but suddenly she laughed out loud, and as she laughed, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Princess Xie searched the entire house but couldn't find any trace of the man.

"Why don't you say something!" Seeing that she kept her head down and remained silent, Princess Xie became even more angry. She walked over and grabbed Nan Yuan's hair fiercely.

With a "bang", Nan Yuan's forehead hit the floor and she frowned in pain.

"Speak to me!" Princess Xie continued to ask, "Where is the adulterer?"

Nan Yuan looked up and around. There were a lot of people gathered outside the door, many unfamiliar faces, pointing at her.

"You seduced me? Admit it, you are a slut. You couldn't stand the loneliness and cheated on me."

Gu Jingheng's words suddenly rang in my mind.

Ah!

How could there be so many outsiders in the princess's mansion? Who would dare to break into the princess's mansion without Gu Jingheng's permission?

He was the one who let her in. He wanted to see her ruined and despised by everyone. He wanted her to admit that she was a slut.

“Hahahaha…” Nan Yuan laughed loudly, her laughter was sad and full of despair.

Seeing Nan Yuan like this, Princess Xie was even more furious and scolded: "Nan Yuan, is this how your family taught you? Is this how they taught you to obey the rules and respect your parents-in-law? Are you just not a good wife?"

Nan Yuan raised her eyes to look at Princess Xie and said, "It's me who is unfaithful to my husband and I am fickle, so let's get a divorce."

Let’s get a divorce.

Gu Jingheng will not let her go, what happened today will only be the beginning.

She couldn't control what happened next.

If this continues, she won't be the only one implicated.

Let’s just get a divorce!

"Snapped!"

Another slap hit Nan Yuan's right cheek, and half of her face suddenly swelled up.

"I'm going to wake you up today!" Princess Xie said, and raised her other hand: "Do you still dare to ask for a divorce?"

"You've cheated on me, and you still dare to ask for a divorce? What did our Xie family do to you? Did we treat you unfairly? We married you in a grand ceremony, and we never treated you unfairly. What about you? You want to ask for a divorce now?"

Nan Yuan's eyes were empty, like a puppet without a soul.

"Tell me, tell me, do you still want to divorce? Do you still dare to be unfaithful to your husband? You said you were forced to do this!"

Princess Xie grabbed Nan Yuan, shaking her non-stop, and asked at the top of her lungs, "Say it! Say you don't want to divorce? Say you will live a good life with Luo Chen in the future. Say it, say it!"

Nan Yuan never answered Princess Xie. She just looked at her, watching her go crazy, watching her go insane.

Princess Xie grabbed Nan Yuan's hair and pulled it, and Nan Yuan's hair was pulled loose by her. Her jet-black hair fell down and spread behind her.

Nan Yuan still said the same thing: "I want a divorce."

"Divorce? Divorce... I ask you to divorce!" Princess Xie muttered to herself, snatched the divorce letter and tore it into pieces.

The pieces of paper flew into the air, like snowflakes, falling over Nan Yuan's head.

"Come on! Come with me to see the official! I want to see if there is still law in this world. There is no such thing as humiliating people like you!"

Princess Xie grabbed Nan Yuan's sleeve and dragged her out.

The moment she came into contact with the sunlight, Nan Yuan suddenly came to her senses. She looked at herself in disarray, wearing only a middle shirt, and began to resist: "Let me... let me change my clothes."

She was not afraid of going to see the officials with Princess Xie. After all, it wouldn't be long before her reputation would become so bad.

However, you cannot go to see the official in such untidy clothes.

"Oh! You also know shame!" Princess Xie sneered, spiteful words came out of her mouth: "Then why didn't you feel ashamed when you did something that brought disgrace to our family? Why didn't you say it was shameful when you said you wanted a divorce? Why didn't you feel ashamed when you brought shame to my Xie family?"

"You were married in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people, but in less than a year, you want to divorce? How do you want others to see our Xie family? How can you stab us in the back?"

"You want a divorce? No way!"

Princess Xie ignored Nan Yuan's resistance and ordered several maids to drag Nan Yuan out.

"girl!"

Baizhi and Yueran wanted to come over, but they were held down and couldn't move.

"Hold these two little hooves down, don't let them tip off!"

Nan Yuan was dragged by several old women and could not struggle. She felt her scalp becoming more and more painful and she felt dizzy.

Her steps became heavy, her body swayed constantly, and she almost fell to the ground several times.

Along the way, the huge team attracted a lot of people's attention, some were there to watch the fun, some were making random guesses, and some were even talking nonsense.

Nan Yuan was unable to struggle, so she just made her long black hair more messy, trying to cover her face, but it didn't work at all, and anyone could guess who she was.

"Isn't that Princess Xie and the new daughter-in-law of the Xie family? What happened?"

"Look at the appearance of that little bitch. It's obvious that she was caught in bed with someone. What else could it be?"

"I see they are heading towards the government office. Are they going to take this to the government office?"

"Come on, go on, let's go and see what's going on."

……

People around were talking to each other, and more and more people gathered together.

Nan Yuan didn’t know when she arrived at the yamen, she only remembered that the scene was very chaotic and noisy.

My ears were buzzing, and I felt like I was floating in the clouds, or falling into an abyss, and falling continuously.

The old woman dragged her all the way to the court.

Princess Xie cried bitterly in the court, accusing Nan Yuan of being unfaithful to her husband, having affairs with other men, and she also said how miserable her son was and how unfortunate her family was, and why she would marry such an unlucky woman.

Princess Xie cried so hard that she almost fainted.

She kept scolding Nan Yuan, calling her a vixen, a bitch, and an unfaithful woman.

Her curses were so harsh that Nan Yuan became numb and forgot the pain. She just kept listening to Princess Xie's accusations.

"Boom-"

The prefect of Shuntian slammed the gavel hard on the table.

"Quiet, no noise in the court!"

Princess Xie finally stopped cursing and began to cry softly.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor turned around and asked Nan Yuan: "Your mother-in-law said that you committed adultery. Is this true?"

"It's true." Nan Yuan nodded, her eyes dull and lifeless.

"Who did you commit adultery with?"

who?

Nan Yuan sneered and looked at the four words "upright and open" above her head, saying that an honest official had come to the capital.

Does this honest official dare to try the prince?

"He who commits adultery is..."

Everyone held their breath and listened to Nan Yuan's words.

"Prince."

When Nan Yuan said this, everyone gasped.

Prince's Mansion.

"You and Nan Yuan may quarrel and argue, but what does it have to do with Yue'er? Why did you arrest her?" Shen Zhaixing stood in front of Jiang Song and looked at Gu Jingheng with a look of confusion.

Gu Jingheng's gaze moved away from Jiang Song and fell on Shen Zhaixing.

"She deserves to die."

If she hadn't told Nan Yuan about the love Gu, how could Nan Yuan have become suspicious?

If she doesn't suspect anything, how could she be exposed?

If it hadn't been exposed, nothing that happened afterwards would have happened.

They should be loving and sweet every day like they were before, instead of being like now... adding to the resentment.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is capable of such a thing, it will be exposed sooner or later. But now he is angry because of someone else's unintentional mistake. It's really..."

"Shut up." Shen Zhaixing quickly turned around and scolded Jiang Song. Saying such things at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire. He couldn't protect her.

"Ah Heng, she doesn't understand anything. There's no need for you to argue with a woman."

Gu Jingheng looked at Jiang Song with cold eyes.

Jiang Song was so frightened by his eyes that he trembled all over, but he still held his neck stiff and refused to lower his head.

Nan Yuan has been miserable enough, and now she is asked to speak for Gu Jingheng against her will. This doesn't make sense.

Shen Zhaixing was also embarrassed, but before he could say anything, he saw Ah Qi running in hurriedly.

"Master, something happened." Ah Qi whispered in Gu Jingheng's ear.

Gu Jingheng's expression was unclear, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he walked out.

Sue the authorities?

What a skill.

When Gu Jingheng stepped into the courtroom, irrelevant people had already been cleared out.

When Shuntian Prefecture Governor saw Gu Jingheng coming, he immediately stood up and saluted:

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Jingheng glanced at the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and ignored him, instead looking at Nan Yuan in the hall.

Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders in disarray, and there were finger marks on her face, as if she had been beaten. Her forehead was also scratched and bleeding. She was only wearing a middle shirt, and her eyes were staring blankly at the floor.

She sat motionless in the hall, her eyes empty and unfocused.

When Gu Jingheng saw her current appearance, a fire burned in his heart.

He had only been away for half an hour, how did it become like this?

Soon, he became cold and hard again.

A woman who doesn't have him in her heart should feel bad no matter what he does.

She has no choice but to blame herself for the current state she is in.

"Get up." Gu Jingheng said lightly, his voice was cold and no emotion could be heard.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture stood up cautiously, glanced at Nan Yuan who was sitting opposite him, and then secretly looked at Gu Jingheng.

Nan Yuan still sat there motionless, like a puppet.

The prefect of Shuntian didn't dare to say anything else. He lowered his head and waited for Gu Jingheng's next instructions.

"Just interrogate him the way you should. Do you need me to teach you?" Gu Jingheng's tone was calm, without any trace of emotion, but it gave everyone present a chill.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

After saying that, he sat back on the throne.

Gu Jingheng stood beside Nan Yuan, looking down at her current appearance.

He was silent for a moment, then forced himself to look away.

Nan Yuan still didn't look up, as if she hadn't noticed Gu Jingheng at all.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor looked at Princess Xie and asked, "You said your daughter-in-law committed adultery, but did you see it with your own eyes?"

Princess Xie was already frightened when Nan Yuan said that the person who committed adultery was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now, when asked this by the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, she nodded tremblingly, and then when she noticed the Prefect's gaze, she quickly shook her head.

"I...I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just...I just saw her like this this morning. I knew what happened at a glance."

After Princess Xie finished speaking, she glanced at Nan Yuan with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor coughed softly and looked at Nan Yuan: "Do you admit your mother-in-law's accusation?"

Nan Yuan nodded: "I admit that I committed adultery."

Hearing this, Shuntian Prefecture's palms were sweating, but he could only bite the bullet and continue the interrogation: "The person who committed adultery with you...with you is the Crown Prince. Did you see it with your own eyes? Did he force you, or did you do it willingly?"

Nan Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and she turned to look at Gu Jingheng.

He stood in front of himself, looking down at himself.

A bitterness welled up in her heart.

She turned her head and looked at the Shuntian prefect, and said, "When we first met, he used coercion and bribery to get me to commit myself to him. I pretended to be nice to him and tried to marry someone else to get rid of him."

"After we got married, he went even further, pretending to be my husband and tricking me into having sex with him."

"Later, she used the love poison to deceive my feelings and tricked me into divorcing my husband, but I saw through her."

"That's how it is between him and me."

The governor of Shuntian swallowed his saliva. This... this was going to be a difficult matter.

He can't possibly put the prince in jail, can he?

"Your Highness, is what she said true?" the governor of Shuntian asked cautiously.

Gu Jingheng finally moved his gaze away from Nan Yuan. He curled his lips slightly and said, "Yes, you are right."

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture wiped a cold sweat. He should not have come to the yamen today. Why did he have to encounter such a difficult thing?

Shuntian Prefecture Governor thought about it again and again, looked at Nan Yuan, and asked: "You said that you pretended to be friendly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Did you do anything beyond the line? Did you break the barrier between men and women? Did your actions completely comply with the rules?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes to look at the ground, her fingers clutching her dress tightly, and said with great difficulty: "...Yes, but it did not break the barrier between men and women, and it was not urgent..."

"Okay, I understand." Shuntian Prefecture Governor interrupted Nan Yuan and asked, "You said that after marriage, the prince disguised himself as your husband. Do you have any evidence?"

"He always came at night, and either blew out the candles or covered my eyes. I had no evidence, but the last time, I saw his face with the night pearl."

Shuntian Prefecture Governor caught on to the topic and asked, "Where did the Night Pearl come from?"

Nan Yuan's heart sank, but she answered truthfully: "He gave it to me."

"Did you accept any other gifts from the prince?"
