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

"Qi Chuan!"

Before Hua Qichuan walked in, he heard Gu Jingheng's voice behind him, so he had to stop.

Behind Gu Jingheng was Chu Zhixu.

"Why are you all here?" Hua Qichuan smiled and looked at Gu Jingheng, only to see that he had a serious expression on his face. He then said, "Are you really that nervous? I'm just taking a look, not eating her!"

The more nervous Gu Jingheng became, the more curious Hua Qichuan became.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Now that I'm here, why not introduce me to someone?" Hua Qichuan said.

He really wanted to see what kind of angelic face this person had that could attract the self-disciplined Crown Prince to keep him as a beautiful woman in his golden house.

Gu Jingheng took a look inside and saw Nan Yuan still sitting on the swing with her back to them. He knew in his heart that she probably didn't want to deal with this.

Yes, even Nan Yuan himself didn’t want to deal with it, let alone his brothers.

Gu Jingheng smiled and said, "Let's do it another day. It's not convenient for her at this time."

He calmly separated Hua Qichuan and sent him to Chu Zhixu's side.

Chu Zhixu also tried to smooth things over, saying, "There's a long way to go, and we'll always have a chance to meet. This little moment won't make any difference."

Hua Qichuan also understood Gu Jingheng's personality. If he said he didn't want to see him, then he would definitely not be allowed to see him today.

"You have to let me see you before I go to Jiangnan, otherwise I will always feel like something is missing." Hua Qichuan compromised, but he was still thinking about her.

"Are you leaving?" Gu Jingheng was stunned.

Considering that Hua Qichuan had been selling off his own assets during this period, Gu Jingheng originally thought that Hua Qichuan had just returned and was short of money, but he didn't know that he was leaving.

Why are they all leaving him?

This is the case with Nan Yuan, and now, even Hua Qichuan is the same.

"Yes, why do you suddenly want to leave? You just came back, are you not used to the capital?" Chu Zhixu was also a little confused.

When they were at the White Horse Temple before, Hua Qichuan was always worried about Gu Jingheng's situation. Why is he leaving now that he just came back?

Hua Qichuan sighed and said, "I originally thought that you were in a difficult situation and needed me to come back to help you, but now it seems that apart from the war outside the Great Wall, I am no longer needed for anything else."

"I have also dealt with the people outside the Great Wall for you. Your position as the crown prince is pretty stable. There is nothing for me to worry about."

"That's great. I can find a paradise and live my life in peace and comfort."

Gu Jingheng's heart sank and he felt extremely depressed.

Hua Qichuan is different from Chu Zhixu and Shen Zhaixing. Hua Qichuan means something different and more important to Gu Jingheng.

Shen Zhaixing had been with him since childhood, but she did not go to the border with him to experience those five dark years; Chu Zhixu stayed with him in the border for five years, but they did not grow up together after all.

And Hua Qichuan is the only one who has accompanied him through all the hardships in his life.

These were things that Shen Zhaixing and Chu Zhixu had not experienced with him.

Gu Jingheng still wanted to keep her. He thought that all these things had been dealt with, and the rest would be good days. They would no longer have to live in fear like before. Isn’t that good?

Why do you want to leave him?

But Hua Qichuan was determined to leave, and he directly blocked Gu Jingheng's words, saying: "This capital is not suitable for me. I only know how to fight and kill, quarrel and make trouble for you. I can't change my temper. When you become the emperor in the future, you will have more things to deal with and more things to worry about. Instead of causing trouble for you, it is better to withdraw now and leave a good impression on each other."

"You know, I'm a straightforward person. I say whatever I want to say. After all, six years have passed. I'm really worried that I'll mess up your affairs. So, I'll only accompany you here. You can walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Seeing Gu Jingheng's tightly pursed lips, Hua Qichuan knew that he didn't like what he said, so he softened his tone and said, "It's not like I won't come back, I just won't settle down in the capital."

"When you have time to come to Jiangnan in the future, send me a message and I will definitely treat you well."

Hua Qichuan patted Gu Jingheng on the shoulder, turned around and left, saying at the end: "Before I finish dealing with the family property, please quickly arrange for me to meet my brother and sister-in-law, so that I can put my mind at ease."

"I'll go ask." Chu Zhixu also left soon after.

Gu Jingheng watched Hua Qichuan's back disappear, and felt a little melancholy.

To put it simply, he is the prince now and will be the emperor in the future, so he doesn't have so much time to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

After this departure, I don’t know when we will meet again.

He originally thought that once he had dealt with all these matters, killed all those who stood in his way, paved all the roads, and brought them all back, life would be the same as before.

However, just when they saw that life was about to get better, they all wanted to leave him.

Did he really do something wrong?

Why do so many people have no confidence in him? How could he be such a heartless person?

Others don't understand him, not even his best friend or his partner believes him.

Gu Jingheng turned around and his eyes fell on Nan Yuan sitting on the swing in the yard. A hint of warmth appeared between his brows. He couldn't help but run over and hugged Nan Yuan from behind.

The sunlight was shining on the two of them. Nan Yuan's skin was so white and transparent that even the purple blood vessels beneath her skin were clearly visible.

"A Yuan, you can't leave me."

Is the order.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear a pleading tone in Gu Jingheng's voice.

But Nan Yuan no longer wanted to analyze his psychology, so she just nodded perfunctorily: "Okay."

She wanted to leave, but she couldn't.

If we really want to leave, then probably only death can lead to leaving.

"It's noon, A Yuan, let's go eat."

Gu Jingheng reached out, picked up Nan Yuan, and walked towards the house.

Nan Yuan tilted her head and looked at the swing. She had been given medicine for some time and felt drowsy every day.

Today was the only day she didn't have to take medicine, and she wanted to stay in the sun for a while.

But even this simple wish cannot be realized.

There were exquisite dishes on the table, all of which were her favorites, but she had no appetite at all. Instead, she felt like vomiting.

"Try this, it's a new style and the flavor you like." Gu Jingheng picked up some food for Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan's bowl was piled high with dishes, but she still had no appetite.

But since Gu Jingheng asked her to eat, she had no choice but to eat.

If she said she didn't want to eat it, or didn't like it, it would cause a lot of trouble and increase the time she and Gu Jingheng had to spend together.

She didn't want this, didn't want to see him.

It is true that he is very good and gentle to her now, but one day, he will change, becoming moody and unpredictable.

To her, he was a burden and a shackle, and he did not belong to her.

"it is good."

Nan Yuan had an almost perfect smile on her face. She picked up the bamboo chopsticks and, suppressing her nausea, stuffed the food into her mouth.

Gu Jingheng finished eating, and the food in Nan Yuan's bowl seemed untouched, even though she was trying hard to eat it.

Gu Jingheng frowned, looking at Nan Yuan's meal which was harder to swallow than medicine, and a surge of anger surged in his heart: "Eat with me, and I'm going to make you unable to eat?"

Nan Yuan put down her chopsticks, lowered her eyes slightly, and replied softly: "No, you think too much."

Gu Jingheng's anger did not diminish at all. He pulled Nan Yuan over, held her in his arms, picked up the food that Nan Yuan had not finished, and fed her himself: "Eat."

Nan Yuan looked at Gu Jingheng, her eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth.

Before Nan Yuan swallowed the food, Gu Jingheng scooped another spoonful into her mouth.

Nan Yuan felt uncomfortable in her stomach and she didn't want to eat anymore, but Gu Jingheng fed her mouthful by mouthful, so she could only hold it in.

The meal was quickly finished. Gu Jingheng felt a little better when he saw Nan Yuan eat more than half a bowl of food: "Isn't this a good meal?"

Nan Yuan felt really sick in her stomach and her face turned pale, but in order to reassure Gu Jingheng, she still tried hard to put on a smile and said, "Yeah."

As soon as Gu Jingheng left, Nan Yuan vomited violently, and all the food she had eaten with great difficulty was gone.

In the afternoon, Gu Jingheng went to the palace to discuss some things with the emperor. After he finished speaking, he was called over by the queen.

"What have you been busy with recently? Your mother hasn't seen you for almost two months." The Queen sat on the couch, her tone full of kindness, and her look towards Gu Jingheng was as gentle as water.

Gu Jingheng lowered his head, feeling guilty, and said, "I will come to visit you often in the future."

"Then let's have dinner here tonight. Your mother has something to ask you." The Queen looked at Gu Jingheng standing with his head down, and said again.

Gu Jingheng responded and sat on the chair next to the Queen.

After a while, the emperor arrived.

"Heng'er, mother heard that something happened to Xiao Yuan'er. What exactly happened?" asked the Queen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingheng looked at the emperor, but the emperor continued to eat as if it was none of his business.

"Who is gossiping in front of mother?" Gu Jingheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, nothing happened to Nan Yuan. She is fine. She just divorced Xie Luochen."

The Queen frowned: "That's not what my mother is asking. What did you do in this?"

Gu Jingheng put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Mother, I have some things to do at home, so I can't accompany you."

"Stop!" The emperor scolded Gu Jingheng: "Your mother asked you a question, and this is your attitude?"

The queen patted the emperor's hand to calm him down.

Gu Jingheng had no choice but to sit down again and said, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask directly. I will tell you everything."

The Queen sighed, and finally asked, "What are you going to do next? How are you going to treat Xiao Yuan'er?"

Despite all the precautions, she eventually went down her old path.

Even though she has lived in the deep palace for a long time and her ears and eyes are blocked, the queen's mind is as clear as a mirror.

She gave birth to the son, how could she not know what Gu Jingheng was thinking?

"After the Chinese New Year, I will be 24 years old, and it is time for me to marry the Crown Princess. After a while, when the storm is over, I will marry Prime Minister Shen's daughter." Gu Jingheng said in a calm voice.

"Prime Minister Shen's daughter?" The Queen was full of doubts: "Prime Minister Shen only has one son, Zhaixing. Where did the daughter come from?"

"He can have a daughter." Gu Jingheng picked up the bamboo chopsticks again, picked up some food for the queen and put it on the plate.

The queen was stunned for a moment, as if she understood what Gu Jingheng meant.

Change Nan Yuan's identity so that she can enter the Prince's Mansion openly and become the Crown Princess.

"What does Xiao Yuan'er mean?" the queen asked again.

"After a while, I will ask her to come to the palace to accompany my mother, and she will ask her in person." Gu Jingheng lowered his head to eat the meal, and suddenly paused and asked, "Is my mother's cook a new one?"

"Oh, it's from Jiangnan." Seeing that Gu Jingheng noticed the food, the Queen said, "I remember that Xiao Yuan'er's maternal family is from Jiangnan. I think they like this kind of cuisine. You can take the cook back and let him stay."

Gu Jingheng nodded.

She should like it, right?

If you like it, you will probably eat more.

You eat so little, no wonder you have lost so much weight recently.

After finishing his meal with the Queen, Gu Jingheng got up and left.

Finally, the queen advised: "Be nice to others, don't regret it in the end."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

When Gu Jingheng returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already dark.

He finished reviewing the official documents on hand and then returned to his bedroom.

Ever since he knew that Nan Yuan was afraid of the dark, he had people place night-shining pearls in the bedroom to make the room less dim, and he also covered it with a layer of gauze so that it wouldn't be too bright and affect people's rest.

When Gu Jingheng entered the room, Nan Yuan had already fallen asleep. He took off his coat and hugged Nan Yuan from behind.

"You're back?" Nan Yuan was suffering from insomnia, and she woke up as soon as he entered the door.

"Yuan, I was in a bad temper at noon. Please don't be angry with me, okay?" Gu Jingheng leaned against Nan Yuan's neck and coaxed her softly. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Nan Yuan shook her head and said, "I'm not angry."

"Then come out with me to meet some people tomorrow, okay?" Gu Jingheng continued to coax.

Nan Yuan shrank back a little and didn't say anything.

"We are all family, no outsiders, we are just having a meal together. If you don't like it, just meet once and don't have a meal, okay?"

Nan Yuan knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she nodded.

Gu Jingheng lowered his head and kissed the scar on Nan Yuan's cheek.

Nan Yuan realized his actions and subconsciously wanted to cover her scar.

There is no girl who doesn’t love beauty, and Nan Yuan loves it too.

She looked at the scar on her face in the mirror and it was very ugly.

Gu Jingheng held Nan Yuan's hand, put it to his lips, kissed it gently, and then turned to kiss the scar on the back of her hand, as if by doing this, the scar would disappear.

Nan Yuan did not pull back and let him kiss her.

His lips were cold and soft, yet they carried a familiar smell, a smell she had once been obsessed with, but also a smell she now hated. She closed her eyes and let him kiss her...

The next day, Nan Yuan was still taken by Gu Jingheng to meet someone.

In consideration of Nan Yuan's psychological well-being, the banquet was held at the Prince's Mansion.

Nan Yuan had someone put a layer of powder on her face, but it still couldn't cover the brown scar, so she gave up.

When Nan Yuan entered, everyone in the room had already arrived.

She glanced at Shen Zhaixing and Chu Zhixu. They were both people she knew, so why did they need to get together?

"Let me see who this person is that Ah Heng has been hiding for so long..." Hua Qichuan walked out from behind the screen, and when he saw Nan Yuan, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

How could it be...Nan Yuan?

Shouldn't she be in the temple?

Hua Qichuan thought a lot in an instant, but Nan Yuan seemed not to recognize him.

That’s right, he had a wig and his clothes were completely different from when he was in the temple, so it’s normal that you couldn’t recognize him when you first met him.

"Do you know each other?" The actions between the two people naturally did not escape Gu Jingheng's eyes.

He knew Hua Qichuan very well. It was clear that he had seen that look in his eyes before. Not only had he seen him before, but he was also probably attracted to him.

He and Hua Qichuan grew up together and liked the same things, including women.

Gu Jingheng clenched his hands, which were hanging on his knees, and veins bulged.
