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

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince is the most noble, so you should eat raw meat and drink blood every day."

As she spoke, Nan Yuan turned her head and was about to lie down, but Gu Jingheng grabbed her and bit her lips.

Nan Yuan was sick and was already feeling unwell, and after being bitten by him, the continuous frustration made her raise her hand and grab Gu Jingheng's neck, leaving three bloody marks.

"hiss--"

Gu Jingheng opened his mouth, reached out to touch the blood on his neck, and left in anger.

For three consecutive days, Nan Yuan hadn't seen Gu Jingheng.

To be honest, it's still a bit sad.

Especially since he knew clearly that he hated Chu Yunni very much, but he still sided with her.

He clearly said that he liked her and valued her, but in reality, she didn't feel any preference for her at all.

Chu Yunni entered and left the Prince's Mansion openly, which completely shattered what she thought was the only thing that made her different from others.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Gu Jingheng didn't regard her as an exception.

Just like to enter and leave the Prince's Mansion freely, I still need Gu Jingheng to give me a ring, but people like Shen Zhaixing and Chu Yunni don't need anything at all and can come in openly.

She took herself too seriously.

In fact, it would be better to lower your requirements.

At least, she beat the prince several times and still survived, right?

This can be considered as finding joy in suffering, right?

Nan Yuan was unwilling to be a caged bird in someone else's hands. If she had a choice, she would rather stay away from the capital and go to a prosperous place where there were not so many noble people and live a good life with her own abilities.

But now, it's difficult.

If Gu Jingheng didn't let her go, she couldn't even leave the Prince's Mansion, let alone leave the capital.

Still have to wait.

When?

I probably have to wait until Gu Jingheng’s novelty about me wears off.

In fact, it’s not that far away. In his previous life, if he hadn’t been so obsessed with her, he would have forgotten her long ago.

In this life, she will not bother anymore and will just wait.

In a month at the least, or even a year at the most, he will definitely get tired of me.

As for my own heart...it doesn't matter.

Treat the prince as your master, don't have any hope, you won't be disappointed, and sooner or later you will forget about him.

Since Gu Jingheng didn't come to see her, Nan Yuan was happy and at ease.

Day after day, Nan Yuan's cold got better quickly.

However, in recent days, Shen Zhaixing has been hanging around the Prince's Mansion, and when he sees her, he looks as if he wants to say something but hesitates.

One time, Nan Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The prince is not here. No matter how long you wait, he will still not be here."

He came to the Prince's Mansion to find Gu Jingheng. Nan Yuan would not be so narcissistic as to think that Shen Zhaixing came to find her.

"I know." Shen Zhaixing looked at Nan Yuan and said angrily.

Nan Yuan glanced at him indifferently. She had no interest in coaxing the child, so she turned and left.

"Hey, don't go." Shen Zhaixing saw Nan Yuan leaving and hurriedly stopped her.

"Mr. Shen, do you have something to talk to me about?" Nan Yuan turned around and asked.

Shen Zhaixing looked at Nan Yuan with a complicated expression. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Do you know what's happening outside now?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes, thought for a few moments, and guessed most of Shen Zhaixing's psychology.

Shen Zhaixing follows Gu Jingheng around all the time, and her current condition must be related to Gu Jingheng.

"What should I know?" Nan Yuan asked.

"The Dali Temple Minister is now targeting Ah Heng because of your lawsuit against the Crown Prince. He is determined to punish Ah Heng. Ah Heng was just beaten with 20 sticks."

Minister of Dali Temple?

He should be the very upright official that Gu Jingheng mentioned at that time!

"But this has nothing to do with a dead person like me. I can't go out and tell people that I'm alive again."

What can she do?

Even if she was willing to go out and plead for Gu Jingheng, Gu Jingheng would not agree to let her go.

"I told you that you are a heartless woman. Ah Heng is in this state, why aren't you worried at all?" Shen Zhaixing looked at Nan Yuan with some resentment in her eyes.

He is the prince, what could happen?

Not to mention that he had already cleared himself of all charges, even if he hadn't, what could the charge of raping my wife do to him?

It was just twenty strokes of the cane. She had been caned on those days, paraded through the streets, put into a pig cage, and drowned in a lake. Which one of them was not aimed at taking her life?

Compared to this, what are just twenty strokes of the cane?

Besides, he was the prince. No executioner would dare to use harsh force. It was just a formality.

"Who said I'm not worried? Do you have to show your worry openly, like you are making yourself panic? Is it useful? Also, who among you let me know about this? I didn't know about this, so how could I react?"

"You, you, you... I really shouldn't have come here to tip you off. It would be better for me to stay at home like your brother and enjoy the peace and quiet."

Shen Zhaixing swung his sleeves and was about to leave, muttering to himself, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. I have so many things on hand, but he won't handle any of them for me, and he won't even see me. What am I busy with?!"

“Wait a minute!” Nan Yuan suddenly became concerned when she heard about Nan Jiamu, and asked hurriedly, “You just said that my brother is unemployed at home? What does that mean?”

"If you die, your brother will keep pursuing the Xie family to the death, causing a huge uproar in the city. The situation can't be suppressed. In order to prevent him from killing someone, Ah Heng has no choice but to lock him up at home." Shen Zhaixing said nonchalantly.

Nan Yuan was worried.

Seeing that Shen Zhaixing was about to leave, Nan Yuan hurriedly asked, "Don't you want to see Gu Jingheng?"

"Do you have any idea?"

……

royal palace.

Nan Yuan changed into a maid's clothes and followed Shen Zhaixing towards the East Palace.

The Prince's Mansion is a mansion that Gu Jingheng built himself after he became an adult.

The Eastern Palace is located in the imperial city and is the nominal palace of the crown prince.

During this period, Gu Jingheng did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but stayed in the Eastern Palace.

"Don't play any tricks on me. I took a big risk to bring you out of the Prince's Mansion."

Shen Zhaixing whispered to Nan Yuan, "I'm different from Ah Heng. It's one thing that he can't bring himself to do it to you, but if you piss me off, I can really kill you."

Nan Yuan was silent for a moment. Just when Shen Zhaixing thought that Nan Yuan would not answer him, Nan Yuan said, "Actually, he was quite cruel to me."

Shen Zhaixing looked confused and said, "Be cruel to you? If I were cruel to you, would you still be alive today? Just like me, if anyone dares to betray me, I will kill him."

Nan Yuan looked at Shen Zhaixing deeply and murmured, "It's good to be a little silly, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"Who are you calling stupid? Don't think I can't hear you." Shen Zhaixing stopped and looked at Nan Yuan.

"Master Shen is extremely intelligent. I would never call Master Shen stupid." Nan Yuan put on a fake smile. "Aren't we going to the East Palace now? If we wait a little longer, the prince's people will tell the prince that I'm not in the prince's mansion. By then, all our plans will be in vain."

In fact, Nan Yuan knew that Gu Jingheng already knew it when she left the Prince's Mansion, but she still dared to follow Shen Zhaixing out.

Shen Zhaixing's going to the Prince's Mansion was definitely instructed by Gu Jingheng. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, he must have hinted at it, otherwise Shen Zhaixing would never dare to bring her out.

Bringing her out, isn't it just to make her surrender first?

The stage is set, she has to go and sing.

"stop!"

Nan Yuan followed Shen Zhaixing to the gate of the East Palace, but was stopped outside.

"The prince said that he will not see anyone, especially the people brought by Lord Shen. Go back to where you came from. If you dare to run around again, I will break your legs."

It was obvious that these words were meant for Nan Yuan.

After Shen Zhaixing heard this, he looked at Nan Yuan and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. We've been exposed."

Nan Yuan looked at the gate of the East Palace, then at the heavily guarded courtyard. She lowered her eyelids, the shadow of the crow feather cast on her face, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

Inside the East Palace.

"How could you let someone use such harsh force on you?" Chu Zhixu changed the medicine for Gu Jingheng and looked at the wound again, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

He was beaten with twenty sticks, and his back was covered with scars and blood.

"Master, the people have been driven away."

Ah Qi came in to report and then went downstairs.

After hearing the news, Gu Jingheng closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.

Just leave like that?

When you want to escape from him, it's not so easy to retreat.

"If you want to see someone, just go and see them. Why make it like this?" Chu Zhixu shook his head, not understanding what was going on in his mind.

They're here and the ladder has been given, so why don't they come down?

In the end, if you really take the person away, don’t you still have to go back to find him?

Why bother!

"Are you free now? Have you caught all the spies?" Gu Jingheng opened his eyes, his look was chillingly cold.

Chu Zhixu, who was scolded for no reason, was very sensible and didn't argue with him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Having said that, Chu Zhixu no longer wanted to be an eyesore, turned around and left, passing by the little maid who came in to deliver medicine.

Chu Zhixu suddenly stopped, looked at the little maid, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he walked away.

Before he went out, he saw Shen Zhaixing standing in front of the East Palace, walking back and forth.

"What are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, Shen Zhaixing hurried over and looked inside the East Palace again and again, as if looking for someone.

"Don't look at it, it's none of your business."

"Why is it none of my business? I'm still waiting..."

Chu Zhixu dragged Shen Zhaixing out of the palace and explained, "Even if there is something wrong, he can't handle it for you today. Come back tomorrow."

Shen Zhaixing wanted to say something, but didn't say it in the end.

indoor.

Gu Jingheng was still full of anger.

When they have a quarrel, why does he always have to be the one to comfort others?

It was fine to coax him before, but now Nan Yuan has nothing. She eats his food, drinks his drinks, and sleeps with his. How can she still be so confident?

Are you just going to argue with him?

Why?

In the end, it was he who hinted to Shen Zhaixing to bring the person out, otherwise, the person would have forgotten him completely!

Also, she had already come, and he just said goodbye, so why did he really leave?

Where is the attitude of coaxing people?

In the past, when he tried to coax her, he would beat and scold her, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't drive her away.

He didn't ask Nan Yuan to have the perseverance he had at that time. If she had tried a little harder, if she had just said that she wanted to see him, he wouldn't be so angry!

"Boom-"

Gu Jingheng caught a glimpse of a little maid carrying a bowl of medicine walking towards him, and he raised his hand and knocked it over.

"Who allowed you to come in?"

He never liked being served by maids, who were full of feminine smells and some of whom were tactless and tried to get ahead, which annoyed him greatly.

Therefore, he was served by eunuchs.

Which blind guy let this person in?

The little maid was kneeling on the ground, lowering her head, waving her hands, looking terrified.

Still a mute.

Gu Jingheng was very annoyed. He took a glance and felt that it was somewhat familiar.

"you……"

Gu Jingheng stretched out his hand to lift the other person's head, but the little maid was very bold and directly climbed onto his hand.

"Be bold!"

Gu Jingheng was just about to call for someone to drag the maid out and beat her to death with sticks, when he saw the maid follow his hand, sit on his lap, and even hook her arms around his neck wantonly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a bad habit of going back to his mother's house when he is angry. It's hard for me to find her." Nan Yuan raised her head and looked at Gu Jingheng with a smile.

When Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

In a flash, he said, "You have no manners at all. What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I will pull out the tongue of your bed-warming maid!"

Nan Yuan saw the look in Gu Jingheng's eyes and knew that he was not angry. She hugged him tighter with both hands, pressed against his neck, and exhaled sweetly: "I didn't know what was good for me and made His Highness angry. His Highness has ignored me for five days. Hasn't he calmed down yet?"

"Oh! Calm down?" Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan, tightened his hand on Nan Yuan's lower back, and made her body stick closer to him: "Did I ever say that if you dare to run around again, I'll break your legs?"

Nan Yuan looked at him aggrievedly and said, "Is running into His Highness's arms considered running around?"

Without waiting for Gu Jingheng to speak, Nan Yuan climbed onto his shoulders and kissed him, blocking the next words he was about to say.

"You'd better stop talking. There's definitely nothing I want to hear." Nan Yuan pretended to get out of Gu Jingheng's arms, "Just stop running around. I'll go back and wait for you obediently."

But before she could get up, Gu Jingheng pulled her back, "What? You want to run away after flirting with me? That's not the way you act!"

"Your Highness, don't you want to see me?" Nan Yuan pushed his hand away, turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Seeing Nan Yuan's fearless look, Gu Jingheng reached out and pinched her chin to turn it over: "You little girl, are you trying to get ahead of me?"

"Am I being too arrogant? Your Highness knows that Chu Yunni and I have a grudge, but he still lets her hang around in front of me and sides with her again and again. How can I not be jealous?" Nan Yuan said half-angrily.

Gu Jingheng had warned Chu Yunni a long time ago, but he just refused to explain to Nan Yuan.

The explanation only made her more confident and made her seem more humble.

He didn't want this to happen, for fear of losing miserably.

"As a bed-warmer, what qualifications do you have to be compared with others?" Gu Jingheng said coldly, "Since you are a bed-warmer, you should fulfill your duties. I haven't been home for five days. Does that mean I have nothing to do for you?"

As Gu Jingheng said this, his breathing became heavier.
