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

Prince's Mansion.

"Ah Qi."

Gu Jingheng looked at the sky. Nan Yuan had been gone for almost three hours. What was there that required three hours of conversation?

"Is Nan Yuan back?"

Ah Qi reported back, "One stick of incense ago, Master Shen sent a letter saying that he was on his way back and should be arriving soon."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingheng walked out to pick up Nan Yuan.

He has been too busy these days and has rarely seen Nan Yuan.

Many times, when he finished his work, Nan Yuan had already fallen asleep.

When Nan Yuan woke up, he started a new busy life.

He could spare some time today to see her, at least just once, as he really missed her.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan angrily get off the carriage. She glanced at him, said nothing, and turned around to walk towards Wangyue Tower.

"A Yuan?"

Gu Jingheng realized that Nan Yuan was angry, but he didn't know what she was angry about, so he chased after her to ask.

But just as he touched Nan Yuan's sleeve, he was slapped in the face.

"leave me alone!"

After saying this, Nan Yuan walked forward without looking back.

Gu Jingheng was stunned for a long while after being slapped.

"master……"

Seeing this, Ah Qi felt a little worried but didn't know what to say.

"Go and check who Nan Yuan met when she went out?" Gu Jingheng gave an order and followed Nan Yuan's footsteps.

What happened? Why are you suddenly so angry?

"A Yuan!"

Gu Jingheng was turned away. Nan Yuan closed the door and refused to let him in no matter how he shouted.

"Ayuan, the death row inmates will have a chance to defend themselves before being beheaded. You can't just sentence me to death without even listening to my explanation, right?" Gu Jingheng stood outside the door, patiently explaining to Nanyuan.

He could have used countless ways to open the door, but he knew that doing so would not ease the relationship between him and Nan Yuan in the slightest, but would instead add fuel to the fire.

"A month ago, didn't you sentence me to death without asking any questions?" Nan Yuan's voice came from inside the room.

a month ago?

The ninth day of October.

The matter that Gu Jingheng deliberately ignored was brought up again by Nan Yuan, and he felt a little dissatisfied.

"A Yuan, be obedient. Let's forget about that matter and live our own lives well from now on, okay?"

Nan Yuan pretended not to hear him and continued, "After you came back that day, did you ever ask me whether I did it voluntarily or whether I was persecuted by someone?"

"You didn't. All you cared about was whether I was still clean and whether I belonged to you alone. When you found out that I was not innocent, your possessiveness started to drive you to attack me, beat, scold and humiliate me."

"That's not enough. Once it happens, it will happen twice and three times. No matter how nicely you say it, in the end, it's just talk."

"Just like you said the day before that we were starting over, and the next day you found out that Hua Qichuan and I knew each other, and you locked me in the room without any reason, without any dignity at all."

Gu Jingheng listened to these words without refutation.

She should vent it out, otherwise if she keeps it in her heart, she will get depressed sooner or later.

However, what Nan Yuan said was somewhat different from the results of the investigation he had people investigate.

What does it mean to be persecuted?

What does just knowing mean?

Gu Jingheng felt that he must have overlooked something, but what?

For a moment, he was a little confused.

Nan Yuan's voice continued.

"Why do you treat me like this? You just think I can't escape and I have no ability to resist, so you can do whatever you want."

"Because you know, no matter what you do to me, I can't do anything to you."

"When you are happy, you can coax me. When you are unhappy, I am just a toy. You can do whatever you want and vent your anger at will."

"Is this love? This is just possessiveness."

"Your possessiveness forces me to live according to your wishes. I have to do whatever you tell me to do. If I don't do it well, you can curse me, humiliate me, and beat me. As long as you can vent your anger, you don't care whether I live or die."

"When you calm down, you feel that I am not good without life and vitality, and you try every means to make me return to the way I was before. You want me to deal with your moodiness and suspicion in a way that you like, and I can't complain at all."

"I'm a human being. I get tired, too."

"Your Highness, please let me take a break."

Gu Jingheng felt very uncomfortable. He never thought that one day Nan Yuan would say such words to him.

He always thought that Nan Yuan knew how he felt about her, or at least knew that he loved her. It was not a possessive desire, but that he was just too angry at the time and had lost his mind.

Those careless words actually caused Nan Yuan to have such a deep misunderstanding of him.

"Master, urgent news from outside the Great Wall."

Before Gu Jingheng had the chance to explain to Nan Yuan, something happened outside the Great Wall.

"Ayuan, it's my fault. Calm down. I will explain it to you later, okay?" Gu Jingheng lowered his posture and coaxed Nanyuan.

Nan Yuan didn't say anything, but Gu Jingheng didn't give her much time.

He told someone to take good care of her and went to the study.

The people who secretly escorted Chu Fengyuan to Beijing have arrived. Not only Chu Fengyuan, but also a group of generals loyal to him have returned.

He needs to control all these people and hold them firmly in his hands, so that there can be peace outside the Great Wall.

"Give orders to proceed according to the plan tomorrow and enter the capital secretly. Do not leak the news."

Day two.

Gu Jingheng first asked someone to inquire about Nan Yuan's situation. He learned that she had not come out all day and was not allowed to go in, and he was very worried.

However, the disaster in Weinan, the escort to Beijing, and even public opinion were all squeezed together. He had no time and no energy to take care of Nan Yuan's feelings. He could only explain after these things were over.

Three days passed and everything went smoothly, except that Shen Zhaixing disappeared somewhere. But it didn't matter because he was always unruly.

Besides, what could happen to him in the capital?

After finishing the accumulated tasks on hand, Gu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He should go find Nan Yuan to explain what happened that day. He didn't look down on her, he was just blinded by anger for a moment.

Standing at the entrance of Wangyue Tower, Gu Jingheng knocked twice. No one answered, but the maid said that Nan Yuan had never left the room.

He knew that Nan Yuan was still angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.

So, Gu Jingheng stood at the door and explained in a gentle voice: "Ayuan, it's not what you think. I have never looked down on you in my heart, before, now, and in the future."

"I care about you too much, but you don't care about me enough. I am really unsure, so I acted on impulse and hurt you in the wrong way."

"Don't worry, I will learn how to love someone and will never do anything bad to you again."

"A Yuan, open the door. Tell me what happened that day and what wrongs you suffered. Tell me and I will check it out, okay?"

"Your Highness, your words are truly heartfelt, but the person you want to see won't be able to hear your heartfelt words."

This is not Nan Yuan's voice.

Alarm bells rang in Gu Jingheng's mind and he kicked the door open.
