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

Nan Yuan frowned and knelt on the ground: "I dare not ask for anything."

Gu Jingheng bent over and approached Nan Yuan, his warm breath spraying on Nan Yuan's cheek. He whispered, "Nan Yuan, if it were someone else, they would probably be extremely happy, right? Why are you so ignorant?"

Nan Yuan pinched her palms tightly, reminding herself to stay calm.

He could say that, but he couldn't take it seriously, otherwise... he would die without knowing how he died.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Jingheng stared at Nan Yuan with a burning gaze. There was a fire burning brightly deep in his eyes.

Nan Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and told him everything about her father.

"Is there such a thing?" Gu Jingheng pretended to be ignorant.

Nan Yuan assured, "This is absolutely true. I have never said a single false word!"

Gu Jingheng took a deep look at Nan Yuan, lifted the curtain, and said to Ah Qi: "Go check it out."

"Yes, master." Ah Qi responded respectfully and then turned and left.

"Is your father in the Heavenly Prison?" Gu Jingheng asked again.

Nan Yuan nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"Go to the Heavenly Prison." Gu Jingheng gave the order, and the driver immediately whipped the whip and drove towards the Heavenly Prison in the capital.

Nan Yuan was a little puzzled: "You want to go to the prison too?"

"If I don't go, who dares to let me go?" Gu Jingheng's voice was low and deep, with a hint of hoarseness.

Nan Yuan's heart sank.

"Release him?" Nan Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "Can you just release him before the matter is fully investigated?"

"Then I have to ask you." Gu Jingheng's eyes were fixed on her, his peach blossom eyes full of playful smiles, "Do you think your father is guilty?"

Nan Yuan immediately shook her head: "My father would never do that!"

"Isn't that good?" Gu Jingheng curled his lips and smiled: "Just like you said, under the emperor's feet, I will definitely not let anyone suffer an unjust accusation."

After hearing this, Nan Yuan felt a little relieved.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan's profile, his eyes narrowed, and his smile gradually widened. It was true that she couldn't hide anything!

Heaven Prison.

Nan Yuan waited anxiously at the gate of the prison. Soon, she saw the police escorting Nan's father out.

"Go, you are free." After the officer sent Nan's father out, he returned to his post.

"Father!" Nan Yuan immediately went up to him.

Seeing Nan Yuan, Nan's father was stunned for a moment: "Yuan'er..."

Nan's father obviously hadn't reacted yet. He was imprisoned in the morning and released in the afternoon. It seemed like God was playing a joke on him.

"Yuan'er, what's going on?" Father Nan knew that his ability to be released from prison so quickly must have something to do with Nan Yuan.

But he was also puzzled. How could he not know his own daughter?

Where can she go to seek justice for herself?

Nan Yuan wiped the tears from her cheeks and choked up, "Father, it wasn't me, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved you."

Father Nan followed Nan Yuan's line of sight and looked back, only to see that the person sitting in the carriage was Gu Jingheng.

Nan's father's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down and bowed to Gu Jingheng: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you..."

"Doctor Nan, there's no need to be so polite." Gu Jingheng raised his hand to stop Nan's father's action. He smiled and said, "Doctor Nan was able to come out so quickly, thanks to you raising a good daughter."

Upon hearing this, Father Nan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, thanks to Yuan'er."

"His Royal Highness is a kindhearted man. When my daughter left this morning, she happened to run into him. He was very angry when he learned about my father's experience and said he wanted to seek justice for my father."

Nan Yuan said calmly, "Save the people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. With Gu Jingheng in charge, I believe the truth of this matter will soon come to light."

Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Nan Yuan with interest. His eyes clearly said: Wow! You have become so capable that you dare to fake the emperor's orders.

Nan Yuan caught Gu Jingheng's gaze and quickly looked away.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Father Nan bowed again, his gratitude evident in his words, his voice trembling a little.

Gu Jingheng nodded lightly, which was considered as his agreement.

"The Heavenly Prison is located in a remote area, and the Nan Mansion's carriage will probably take a long time to arrive. I'm just on my way, so I'll give you and your daughter a ride." Gu Jingheng said lightly, and then signaled the coachman to change direction.

"Then I'll trouble your Highness the Crown Prince."

Nan Yuan got on the carriage with her father.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Nan Mansion.

As soon as Nan's father and Nan Yuan got out of the car, Nan's father invited Gu Jingheng in for a cup of tea.

Gu Jingheng did not refuse and walked into the Nan Mansion.

Nan Yuan frowned. This guy was really rude!

But after all, he rescued Nan's father, so it was okay to have a cup of tea with him.

"Your Highness, please have some tea." Nan Yuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng took the tea and gently stroked the back of Nan Yuan's hand with his fingers, but his face looked serious.

Nan Yuan felt uncomfortable being looked at by Gu Jingheng, and could not help but withdraw her hand and wipe the back of her hand.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan's little action and just smiled.

Gu Jingheng hadn't finished his tea when he heard the servant outside come in and say, "Master, thank you, the princess, for your request to see you."

Hearing this, the three people in the hall reacted differently.

Gu Jingheng's reaction was the most indifferent. He continued to sip his tea, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

When Nan Yuan heard that Li was coming, she had a bad feeling and felt that she had come with bad intentions.

However, Nan's father looked very happy. He had some guesses in his mind. He thought that the Xie family probably came to greet him specially because they heard that he had been in prison and was released from prison.

It would be a good thing if other people didn't add insult to injury when seeing this kind of thing. But who would come personally to the door like the Xie family and get involved in this mess?

The Xie family is so affectionate and loyal, this marriage is definitely the right one.

"Please come in!" Nan's father ordered immediately.

"Thank you, Princess. Please come in." The maid led Li to the hall.

Nan Yuan looked at the woman who still had her charm and elegance. Although she was over forty years old, her beautiful appearance could not be concealed.

"Bring the tea quickly." Nan's father quickly invited Li to take a seat.

"No need for tea. This princess has come here for important matters." Li's eyes swept across Nan's father and Nan Yuan without stopping. She was only slightly stunned when she saw Gu Jingheng sitting upright.

Li didn't know Gu Jingheng, but she saw that this man had an extraordinary bearing and his every move revealed a sense of nobility, especially his eyes, which were so clear that they seemed to be able to see through all her dark thoughts.

His temperament is out of tune with the surroundings, but not out of place.

But Li only took a second look and then looked away. Nan's father was just a small imperial physician. Even if he knew some noble people, he was not higher than them in the royal palace.

Father Nan smiled and said, "No matter what the matter is, have a cup of tea first."

He knew that his imprisonment and release was shocking, but now that he was out of prison, he didn't need to rush to think of a solution.

Li did not appreciate it and said bluntly: "This time, I came here to discuss the marriage between our two families. We were too hasty to decide last time and did not consider all aspects. Now I think that the marriage between our two families is really inappropriate."
