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

After hearing what Gu Jingheng said, Nan Yuan felt a pain in her heart and couldn't recover for a long time.

I'm clearly prepared, so why do I still feel uncomfortable when I hear this?

Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan, didn't I tell you not to be tempted? Just treat him as your former master, do whatever he tells you to do, and ask for your reward. Isn't that all right?

It’s simple and mutually beneficial.

Nan Yuan forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her throat, and finally found her voice again, saying, "When Your Highness recovers from his injury, I..."

"It's out of the way."

"What did Your Highness say?" Nan Yuan asked puzzledly.

She saw Chu Zhixu go out. The gauze in his hand was stained with blood, which showed that Gu Jingheng was seriously injured.

"If I don't move, the wound won't be affected." Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Yuan with a dark look in his eyes.

Nan Yuan looked at him for a long time, but still couldn't persuade him.

Afterwards, Nan Yuan's legs were shaking and she could not even stand steadily, but she still did not forget the purpose of her visit.

While Gu Jingheng was feeling dizzy, Nan Yuan pulled his fingers and shook them for a long time.

"What do you want?" Gu Jingheng was indeed very easy to talk to at this time. As long as Nan Yuan's request was not too excessive, he could satisfy it.

"Can I see my brother? I haven't seen him for a long time." Nan Yuan looked up at Gu Jingheng and asked.

Gu Jingheng looked down at Nan Yuan, pulled back his hand, and his face turned cold: "Nan Yuan, if I don't give you some color, you will open a dyeing room."

Nan Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Jingheng, tears streaming down her face.

She reached out to wipe it, and the more she wiped, the more it came.

Gu Jingheng became irritated by her crying. He rubbed his forehead with his big hand and said in a low voice, "Don't even think about seeing Nan Jiamu. But I can find one of the two maids who served you before to continue serving you."

Nan Yuan had never thought that she would really meet her brother, and even being able to find Yue Ran or Bai Zhi was a pleasant surprise.

She was so lonely staying in the Prince's Mansion alone.

Whenever Nan Yuan saw so many people supporting Gu Jingheng, she felt envious. She also wanted to have someone who would stand by her side completely.

So, as soon as this wish came true, Nan Yuan stopped crying, looked at Gu Jingheng, and asked, "Are you serious? You can't lie to me."

Gu Jingheng closed his eyes and knew that she was pretending, but he just couldn't stand this trick and it worked every time he tried.

"real."

Nan Yuan raised her head and pecked Gu Jingheng on the lips, saying, "My brother will only be punished by facing the wall and reflecting on his mistakes. No other punishment is allowed."

"Are you pushing your luck?" Gu Jingheng narrowed his eyes.

Nan Yuan raised her head and kissed him again, hooking her arms around his neck and asking, "Is it okay? It's just a matter of one word from you."

Gu Jingheng's eyes were full of smiles, and he compromised, "It's up to you."

Nan Yuan pecked her again, and Gu Jingheng stretched out a finger to stop her, saying, "If you kiss her again, you will regret it."

Seeing the darkness in Gu Jingheng's eyes, Nan Yuan understood what Gu Jingheng meant almost instantly and hurriedly got off him.

I wanted to leave, but suddenly I thought of something.

She stepped back, held up a finger, and said flatteringly, "I have one last request."

Without waiting for Gu Jingheng to refuse, Nan Yuan said, "I've been staying in the Prince's Mansion for so long, I'm almost bored to death, I want to go out for a walk. Just walk around without being discovered by anyone, okay?"

Gu Jingheng was silent for a moment, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Nan Yuan immediately raised her index finger as if swearing: "I promise not to run around, let alone cause any trouble. You can also have someone monitor me or follow me."

Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Yuan's hopeful face, thought for a long time, and then reluctantly nodded: "The last one."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Nan Yuan was so happy that she almost jumped up, but she was afraid of causing a bad influence, so she quickly lowered her voice and spoke carefully.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan again, and seeing the excitement flashing in her eyes, he felt inexplicably worried.

Was he being too indulgent towards her?

Will he become arrogant because of his favor?

Forget it, I'll give her one last chance. If she doesn't seize it, I'll lock her up in the bedroom, chain her up, and never let her go anywhere in her life!

Gu Jingheng acted quickly. As soon as Nan Yuan returned to the Prince's Mansion, she saw Yue Ran waiting at the door.

"girl!"

As soon as Yue Ran saw Nan Yuan, she ran over and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Girl, it's great that you're still alive!"

Nan Yuan understood Yue Ran's feelings, so she patted her back gently to comfort her: "It's okay, it's all over."

I guess the scene that day really scared Yue Ran.

"Girl, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ended up like this..." Yue Ran apologized while choking.

Nan Yuan sighed and said, "How can I blame you for this?"

I don't know what happened to her that day. It was as if she was possessed by a demon, and she did things that were futile.

But no matter who is to blame for this incident, it cannot be blamed on Yue Ran. She was just a little maid. Faced with that situation, she did not faint out of fear and still knew to protect her. It was already very good.

As for the rest, it’s all God’s will and no one can be blamed.

"Okay, this matter has passed. Now I am still standing here safely, which is already good enough." Nan Yuan reached out to wipe away the tears from Yue Ran's cheek and comforted her softly.

After hearing Nan Yuan's words, Yue Ran immediately stopped crying.

Nan Yuan smiled and rubbed her hair: "Okay."

Yue Ran asked about Nan Yuan's recent situation again. Nan Yuan simply said that she was now staying in the Prince's Mansion. Except that she could not let anyone know that she was still alive, everything else was no different from before.

At most, I can let Gu Jingheng sleep with me every day.

But it doesn’t matter. She’s just a little tired. At least she’s still alive. When the day comes that Gu Jingheng gets tired of her, she will be free.

"Girl, you have been wronged." Yue Ran said with red eyes.

Nan Yuan shook her head, unwilling to continue talking about this topic, and asked about the situation outside.

Although the Xie family and the Nan family were in a mess, nothing serious happened in the end.

Nan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

The master and servant talked all night long.

The next morning, Nan Yuan put on a veil hat and took Yue Ran out for a walk.

With Gu Jingheng's order, naturally no one dared to stop her.

Nan Yuan is open-minded. Although she is belittled by Gu Jingheng every day, she is never tempted to complain about herself.

She wanted to come out, of course, not just to relax, she wanted more to make a living.

When Gu Jingheng gets tired of her one day, she can just turn around and leave and still live a good life.

After traveling with Yue Ran for three days, Nan Yuan finally decided on a shop and planned to open a pharmacy.

Nan Yuan worked until very late before taking Yue Ran back to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, Nan Yuan felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"What are you busy with? I've been waiting for you at home for a whole day but I can't see you."

Gu Jingheng was wearing a dark brocade robe and sitting on a chair in the study, his brows full of fatigue.

When he saw Nan Yuan coming back, he immediately shifted his gaze away from the memorials.

"Girl..." Yue Ran grabbed the corner of Nan Yuan's clothes, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her expression full of worry.

Nan Yuan turned around and smiled at her: "It's okay, go and rest for a while."

Yue Ran nodded, looked back at Nan Yuan, and then left.

Gu Jingheng raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Yuan, and asked in a deep voice: "What have you been doing?"

Nan Yuan smiled and said flatteringly: "I didn't do anything, just looking for something to kill time."

"Has your Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovered from his injury? How have you been recently?" Nan Yuan abruptly changed the subject.

Gu Jingheng hooked his finger at Nan Yuan and said, "Come here."

Nan Yuan didn't understand why, but she felt that Gu Jingheng had bad intentions. She hesitated and said, "It's the same if you say it here. I can hear it."

Gu Jingheng narrowed his eyes, stared at Nan Yuan dangerously, and said word by word: "Three."

Nan Yuan's heart trembled, and she quickly walked towards Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng pulled Nan Yuan to sit on his lap, supported his arms on the table, and held her in his arms. He stared at her evilly, and leaned close to her neck, sniffing her carefully.

Nan Yuan felt a little itchy and tried to hide, but she heard a voice from above her head: "Where did you go? Who did you meet?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince knows exactly what I did. Why are you still asking me?" Nan Yuan said in a low voice.

Although she didn't see it, there were definitely a lot of people sent by Gu Jingheng to watch her in secret. No matter what she did, Gu Jingheng knew it.

"Knowing is one thing, but whether you tell me the truth or not is another." Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows and said with a scorching gaze as if it could devour people.

Nan Yuan didn't like the look in Gu Jingheng's eyes. It was too dangerous, so she moved back unconsciously.

Every time she retreated one point, Gu Jingheng advanced one point.

He didn't stop until her body couldn't bend any further, holding her firmly.

"I... I just want to open a pharmacy..." Nan Yuan said with a smile, trying to hide her inner panic with a smile.

"Oh?" Gu Jingheng stared at Nan Yuan's lips with a half-smile, "Why do you suddenly want to open a medicine shop?"

Nan Yuan didn't want to tell him about her shop, as if everything she had was under his control and could be destroyed at any time and anywhere.

"Don't ask, I don't want to talk to you about this topic anymore." Nan Yuan lowered her eyebrows, and her long crow-feather eyelashes obscured all her expressions, but people could clearly feel her displeasure and resistance.

"Oh? Don't want to say it?" Gu Jingheng lifted Nan Yuan's chin frivolously and said, "But I just want you to tell me what to do?"

He should be present in every aspect of her life, and nothing should be hidden from him.

But Nan Yuan now actually wants to draw a clear line between them and not let him know about her affairs.

What do you want to do?

Planning to escape from him?

Gu Jingheng's hand slid from Nan Yuan's chin to her slender neck, and he said faintly, "Nan Yuan, you'd better be obedient, otherwise I don't know what I will do to your family."

Nan Yuan's heart sank and she raised her eyes hurriedly.

Gu Jingheng's eyes were cold, and he was not joking with her.

"Your Highness, please don't be like this. I'll tell you whatever you want to know." Nan Yuan's small hand loosely grasped his wrist, her eyes pleading.

When Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan's current appearance, he became even more angry.

In her heart, family is important, freedom is important, everything is important, except him, who is dispensable.

Fortunately, he took time out of his busy schedule to come back and see her, but she didn't want him to come back at all.

Gu Jingheng shook off Nan Yuan's hand, turned around and left.

"Bang——" the door was slammed heavily.

Nan Yuan was a little stunned. Didn’t she tell him everything?

Why are you angry again?

It's really hard to please.

She originally wanted to chase him out to comfort him, but when Nan Yuan looked up at the sky outside, it was almost dark.

Ever since she was drowned in the lake, she has been very afraid of the dark and has to light a small lamp every night before she can go to sleep.

Now, it was so dark, she didn't dare to chase out.

Forget it, I’ll try to coax him tomorrow.

It doesn't matter even a moment.

Gu Jingheng walked out of the door and waited at the door for a long time. When Nan Yuan didn't come out, he became even angrier.

When he turned around and was about to go in, he saw that Nan Yuan had turned off the lights, clearly not wanting him to go back.

Good, good, Nan Yuan, you’re really great!

Gu Jingheng laughed out of anger and left the Prince's Mansion in big strides.

"Look at you, you can be driven out of your own mansion?" Hua Qichuan looked at Gu Jingheng's depressed face and really wanted to laugh.

I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know who can make him so obedient. I must go and see him someday.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Hua Qichuan and asked, "Have the troops outside the Great Wall been settled?"

"Don't worry about me doing it." Hua Qichuan smiled and said, "I have already figured out who is loyal to Old Man Chu, who secretly sided with me, and who remains neutral. I am just waiting for your order to change the owner of the frontier."

"I'm not good at playing tricks or balancing checks and balances in the court, but I'm good at fighting wars." Hua Qichuan moved his hands and feet, eager to try.

"Don't make too much noise. Tianqi is watching us closely and we won't be careless." Gu Jingheng stood up and warned.

"Don't worry, I can handle it in just one night." Hua Qichuan also stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Master Tianqi has come to Beijing secretly. According to the calculation of the time, he will arrive tomorrow morning. I have to go to meet him. The matters outside the Great Wall are left to you." Gu Jingheng walked out. It was time to close the net.

The last king of a different surname ends here.

Day two.

Nan Yuan asked around, but no one knew where Gu Jingheng had gone, so she had to put the idea of ​​coaxing him aside.

"Miss, the contraceptive soup you asked for was made by me while avoiding others." Yue Ran handed the medicine in her hand to Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan really didn't want a child, especially at this time. If she had a child, she wouldn't know what to do in the future.

Nan Yuan finished drinking the medicine and suddenly frowned: "Yueran, don't add candied fruit in the future."

It's bitter and sweet, and even more unpalatable than bitter.

Yue Ran's eyes flickered, and she nodded hurriedly, "Okay!"

After drinking the medicine, Nan Yuan had nothing to do, so she started to tinker with the affairs of the medicine shop.

After taking over the shop, everything is ready except for the medicinal materials.

Nan Yuan made an appointment with a medicinal herb merchant to discuss the price and subsequent ordering issues in Cha Yaju.

Just as she was about to enter the door, Nan Yuan saw a familiar figure.

Jiang Song?

What's this sneaky thing to do?

Nan Yuan raised her foot and followed.

Suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my neck and completely lost consciousness.

Pain... heat...

Chinese medicine.

Nan Yuan said in her heart.

Her body was being dragged from behind, as if someone was taking her somewhere.
