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

"What are you going to do? Wouldn't it make Ah Heng even angrier if you go there now?"

Hua Qichuan wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion to take a look, but after leaving that day, he always felt something was wrong.

After being brought back by Shen Zhaixing and the others, he became even more restless.

Now I want to go and see, but they still stop me.

"I'm not going to fight with him, I just want to take a look, just a look, and I'll come out when I see him." Hua Qichuan pushed Shen Zhaixing away and was about to go to the Prince's Mansion.

"Chu Zhixu, please persuade him!" Shen Zhaixing couldn't stop them alone, so he had to stop them while calling Chu Zhixu.

Chu Zhixu came back to his senses and looked at the two of them.

I had no choice but to get up.

"You want to go and check out the situation, right?" Chu Zhixu looked at Hua Qichuan.

Hua Qichuan didn't say anything, but he agreed.

"You don't want him to go because you're afraid they'll have a conflict, right?" Chu Zhixu looked at Shen Zhaixing again.

Shen Zhaixing nodded. It was not unknown for her not to know Gu Jingheng's temper. If he got really angry, someone might die.

These two people are his brothers, and it would be bad if he hurts either of them.

Chu Zhixu nodded and said, "Well, you go, you stay here, and I'll wait for news with you."

Chu Zhixu pushed Shen Zhaixing out and signaled him to go and find out the news himself.

Shen Zhaixing pointed at herself and asked incredulously: "Me?"

"Or he will go?"

"Then I'll go."

Prince's Mansion.

Nan Yuan couldn't leave the room. The chain was not even long enough for her to open the window.

She could only lie in bed all day, watching the sun rise and the moon set, and her anger gradually fade away.

The maids would bring her food at first, but later on, when they found out that she didn't eat at all, they gradually became lazy and just pretended to be nice every day.

This was her fourth day in chains and the third night of her hunger strike.

My stomach started to burn and cramp, and it was very uncomfortable.

Nan Yuan could only curl herself up.

She had no appetite, but she had to eat, otherwise she would really starve to death.

Although living is difficult, she doesn't want to die yet.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door lock opening.

Nan Yuan looked back and thought it was the maid bringing the food.

The result turned out to be Gu Jingheng who was drunk.

Nan Yuan withdrew her gaze and curled up again.

"Hunger strike?" Gu Jingheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her.

She did not go on a hunger strike, but she was not in the mood to talk to him. She just looked out the window, watching the moonlight filter through the gaps in the leaves and scatter sparsely on the ground.

Gu Jingheng noticed her gaze and pulled her up: "How can you be so tough?"

Just because he loves her and can't do anything to her, she can challenge his bottom line again and again?

Nan Yuan glanced at him, but just glanced at him. Her gaze was like looking at a table or a chair, without causing any ripples.

Without him in her sight, she was not even happier than looking at the moonlight.

This realization made Gu Jingheng very angry.

"Seal up the window."

It was the moonlight's fault. It was the moonlight that attracted her attention.

When it’s gone, everything will be fine.

There was only him in her eyes.

Nan Yuan listened to the sound of nails hitting the window frame and felt depressed. She didn't know what Gu Jingheng was doing crazy again.

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jingheng.

This is right!

Look at him, just look at him.

Gu Jingheng lowered his head, moved closer to her, and wanted to kiss her.

Nan Yuan turned her head away, and the kiss only fell on her chin.

The smell of alcohol made Nan Yuan's stomach churn uncontrollably.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she pushed him away and lay on the head of the bed, vomiting continuously.

But after not eating for three days, there was nothing in his stomach and he could only vomit out some acid.

My stomach felt more and more uncomfortable.

But this was enough to make Gu Jingheng lose his mind.

He grabbed Nan Yuan and said angrily, "I kiss you, can't you bear it?"

"Does it make you so sick?" Gu Jingheng twisted Nan Yuan's chin, "Then who doesn't make you sick? Hua Qichuan? Huh?"

"For him, she didn't hesitate to change into a maid's clothes, send away the guards, and run out of the house to meet him in private. Is he that good?"

Talking nonsense.

Nan Yuan wanted to look away, but he held her chin and she couldn't move away at all. She could only look at him.

Seeing the madness in Gu Jingheng's eyes, Nan Yuan reached out and put his hand on her neck.

"You still want me to untie it?" Gu Jingheng sneered. How dare she?

"First, he locked me up, then he nailed the window shut, then he got angry, and the next step is to strangle me to death, right?"

Nan Yuan is familiar with this process.

Not the first time.

I always tell her that I won't hit her, so when did I ever go easy on her?

"Do you really think I dare not?"

"Do it!"

Nan Yuan was tired of this routine, and also tired of his face, which she used to like very much.

It seems I don’t like it that much anymore.

She is tired of it, so Gu Jingheng should have been tired of it too, right?

Besides, her appearance is ruined now, so there is nothing left for him to miss?

Why don't you let her go?

Oh, after all, she was someone the prince had used, how could he let her go?

Her final outcome was that she was killed by Gu Jingheng after being played with enough.

Instead of going through this old-fashioned process over and over again, it is better to do it in one step and give her a quick death.

"Nan Yuan..." Gu Jingheng's back teeth were about to break from biting.

It was clearly her fault, and it was clearly her who betrayed him, so why could she still be so tough?

He really wanted to tighten his grip, otherwise he would break the tender neck in a short while.

That way, everyone will be freed.

But, it's just a thought, I just can't bring myself to do it.

Reluctant.

Gu Jingheng's hand holding Nan Yuan's neck was trembling a little, and the coldness in Nan Yuan's eyes made him even more frightened.

How come he lost miserably!

He suddenly let go of his hand.

His hand hit a vase beside him, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Reason gradually returned.

Gu Jingheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked people to clean up the debris, as if nothing had happened.

He asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I haven't eaten for three days, so I must be hungry." He asked himself and answered because he knew Nan Yuan would not answer him.

He had a table set with a delicious meal that was both visually appealing and fragrant.

"The chef that Queen Mother Gu Chao asked for is Jiangnan..." When Jiangnan was mentioned, Gu Jingheng remembered that Nan Yuan was going to Jiangnan with Hua Qichuan. Even the name Jiangnan made him unhappy, so he said, "It's the flavor you like."

Nan Yuan wanted to vomit just by looking at it, but she had no choice but to eat it or she would starve to death.

He forced himself to eat some, then let them leave.

Gu Jingheng had no intention of leaving, and Nan Yuan couldn't do anything to him. Fortunately, he had taken a shower, and the smell of alcohol on his body had faded, making it less disgusting.

Perhaps because he was afraid that she would vomit all over him, Gu Jingheng just hugged her from behind and did nothing else.

"A Yuan, can you please take a look at me?"

"Xie Luochen is just a nerd. How boring is it to be with him? You can see the end of our life at a glance."

"His family isn't a good one either, with a difficult mother and a selfish father. His useless life will wear you out."

"Hua Qichuan is not good either. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance. He has a bad temper. He is too impulsive. When encountering problems, he will only solve them violently. You can't get along with him."

"You like poetry, songs, snow, moon, wind and flowers, but he doesn't understand the things you like. He can't understand you."

"They are all not good, can you see if I am good?"

"I understand what you are saying and what you want. As long as you stay with me obediently, I will give you whatever you want."

"As long as you look back, I won't care about anything, really."

"Let the past be the past, and we'll be fine from now on, okay?"

"As long as you promise me that you won't go looking for Hua Qichuan or meet him in the future, I will untie the chain for you, okay?"

Nan Yuan glanced at him calmly, turned her head and said, "I want to sleep."

He spoke into her left ear, but Nan Yuan couldn't hear a word he said. She could only feel his breathing, as if he was talking.

After that slap, she could no longer hear in her left ear, but Gu Jingheng still liked to talk to her left ear.

It doesn't matter if you can't hear it, it's just some words to humiliate her. If you hear it, it just feels noisy and unlucky.

Originally, Nan Yuan thought that he would just say a few words and stop, and that she could just endure it, but she didn't expect him to keep talking.

Although she couldn't hear it, she couldn't ignore the breathing next to her left ear.

"……it is good."

Gu Jingheng didn't know what his mood was at the moment. It felt sour and numb, as if he was soaked in a vinegar jar.

She would rather be locked up by him like this than agree to not see Hua Qichuan.

Even to coax him?

Now I don't even want to coax him.

Is Hua Qichuan so good?

How long have they known each other?

No sleep for one night.

Early the next morning, Gu Jingheng had to attend the morning court.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, he turned back, stared at Nan Yuan and said, "Don't commit suicide. If you do, I don't mind letting your whole family be buried with you."

Nan Yuan didn’t know what was wrong with him. How could she possibly want to commit suicide?

She fears death the most.

Maybe Gu Jingheng had had enough fun and didn’t want her to die early because he felt it was not satisfying.

It’s time to have enough fun.

Her appearance was ruined and her body had been slept for so long that she must be tired of it.

Anyway, she had already gotten tired of it. The face of Gu Jingheng, which she used to like very much, now seemed just like that.

The days passed one by one, and Gu Jingheng still liked to talk in her left ear.

At first Nan Yuan asked him to be quiet, but later she just let him be. Anyway she couldn't hear the humiliating words he said, it was just a little itchy in her ears.

Nan Yuan didn't speak for a long time because she felt there was no need.

She is actually quite well behaved. She eats when she is supposed to, drinks when she is supposed to, and sleeps when she is supposed to. It seems that nothing can cause her mood swings.

Nan Yuan felt like she was sick, but she didn't know what disease she had.

Maybe it's because of boredom?

Day by day she could only judge whether it was day or night by the light coming through the window gaps.

"Hurry up, take me there while your master is busy."

I don’t know if the sun rose from the west today, but someone in the yard dared to make loud noises.

It seemed like she hadn't heard such a vivid voice for a long time.

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound.

The sunlight was very dazzling. Nan Yuan squinted her eyes and couldn't see clearly who was coming.

After calming down a little, Nan Yuan saw clearly that it was Shen Zhaixing!

He is such an interesting and lively person.

Seeing her current appearance, I was so surprised that I was speechless.

She thought that she didn't seem that different, at most she had a chain around her neck.

"Are you... okay?" Shen Zhaixing finally found his voice. He saw Nan Yuan huddled in the corner, looking dazed, as if she was stupid.

It was such cold weather, but I was curled up on the ground. Although the ground was covered with a thick white fox fur carpet, it was not as warm as the bed.

She was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away. She was also tied up with chains, and the marks on her body were unbearable to look at.

The windows were all sealed, and if Nan Yuan hadn't still been breathing, he would have thought this was a morgue.

Nan Yuan is lifeless now, totally different from before.

It's only been half a month since we last met, how come he has become like this?

He originally thought that Ah Heng couldn't bring himself to kill her, and since he couldn't bear to do it, he must have provided her with good food and drink. Who would have thought...

Even he, who hated Nan Yuan very much, felt a little bit sorry when he saw it.

"I..." Nan Yuan wanted to say something, but no sound came out. It seemed like it was because she hadn't spoken for a long time.

If you don’t want to talk, then don’t talk. It’s no big deal.

"I'll go and beg Ah Heng for mercy." Shen Zhaixing couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned around and wanted to leave, and bumped into Gu Jingheng head-on.

"Do you need help from me?" Gu Jingheng looked at Shen Zhaixing with cold eyes.

Shen Zhaixing looked at Ah Qi who was following behind Gu Jingheng. It was already agreed that he was just asked to take a look and leave.

This dog slave actually dared to inform on others!

Shen Zhaixing glared at Ah Qi and turned around to settle the score with him.

Immediately, he wanted to plead with Gu Jingheng, but when he saw the look in Gu Jingheng's eyes, he didn't dare to do so.

She was afraid that if she asked for mercy in the wrong way and made him unhappy again, Nan Yuan’s fate might be even worse.

"Nothing...nothing, I'm just walking around, nothing." Shen Zhaixing made up something and walked out.

Seeing Ah Qi following behind him, he got furious and dragged him out, vowing to teach him a lesson today.

Nan Yuan looked at Shen Zhaixing's back, he was so energetic.

People who live in the sun should all be like this, right?

Unlike her, lifeless.

"You are so disobedient. Didn't I tell you not to look at other men? Huh?" Gu Jingheng's voice came into her ears, and Nan Yuan looked up at Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng stood in the sun wearing a black robe. He looked even taller, especially his eyes, which were long and narrow, deep, like a whirlpool, making it difficult to see clearly.

Nan Yuan didn't say anything.

As usual, she stood up, walked to the bed, closed her eyes and looked at no one.

Look, how obedient she is?

Gu Jingheng stood at the door and suddenly felt a surge of powerlessness. He slowly clenched his drooping fists.

Outside the Prince's Mansion.

"You dog slave!" Shen Zhaixing kicked Ah Qi again and again, and still felt it was not enough.

What he hated most in his life was someone stabbing him in the back. This dog slave agreed with him on the surface, but dared to complain behind his back!

"Alright!" Chu Zhixu stopped Shen Zhaixing. When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. After all, this Ah Qi is Gu Jingheng's man. It would be fine to kick him a few times to vent his anger, but can he really beat him to death?

Shen Zhaixing was forced to stop, but she was still angry and glared at him fiercely.

Ah Qi got up from the ground and bowed to Chu Zhixu: "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Hua, I'm taking my leave." Ah Qi bowed again, turned around and left.

Hua Qichuan leaned against the wall, looking at Ah Qi's back with unclear eyes.

Not right.

Shen Zhaixing was still cursing on the side, but when he saw Hua Qichuan's expression, he thought he was about to do something, so he hurried over.

"I'll just hit him twice, don't do anything."

Firstly, Hua Qichuan’s current identity is sensitive. If he takes action and Gu Jingheng hears about it, he will think too much and it will not be a joke. If it also drags Nan Yuan down, Shen Zhaixing will feel pity for him just thinking about it.

Secondly, Hua Qichuan was too ruthless in his attacks. If he hit someone, it wouldn't just be two hits; someone might be killed. After all, Ah Qi was Gu Jingheng's subordinate, and it would be difficult to explain if he beat him to death.

Hua Qichuan shook his head and asked, "He is very strange."

"What's strange?" Chu Zhixu also came over.

"If he was really loyal to his duties, he would have just not let you in. Why did he let you in and then tell on you? What was he planning?" The more Hua Qichuan thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He always felt that the secret guard had ulterior motives.

If this happens, Gu Jingheng will probably be even angrier if he catches Nan Yuan meeting a man from another world.

That Nan Yuan...

Hua Qichuan looked at the door plaque of the Prince's Mansion, his eyes darkening.
