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

Nan Yuan turned her head and met Gu Jingheng's gloomy gaze, and a chill rose in her heart.

She knew that what she had just said was also heard by Gu Jingheng, and she also knew that he was angry now, but Nan Yuan didn't know how to coax him, so she had to change the subject.

"Your Highness, I just saw this and don't understand why..." Nan Yuan pointed to a piece of text on the confession and asked humbly.

"Ha!" Gu Jingheng snorted coldly.

She didn’t know if it was Nan Yuan’s illusion, but she always felt that Gu Jingheng seemed angrier than before.

"Miss Nanyuan is really calculating. When you have nothing to do, you go to your dear cousin to discuss marriage. But when something happens, you think of me instead. Do you think of me as a free military advisor to give you advice?

What? Do you think I can come and go at your will?"

Gu Jingheng knocked the document out of Nan Yuan's hand, grabbed Nan Yuan's neck and pulled her to his side. His fingers slid across Nan Yuan's eyebrows, and his cold eyes were filled with infinite danger.

Nan Yuan tried to look away, but Gu Jingheng grabbed her chin.

He whispered in Nan Yuan's ear: "Miss Nan Yuan, the masters in the palace know to give their servants some benefits to win people's hearts. Why don't you even give me a little sweetness and expect me to work for you wholeheartedly?"

Gu Jingheng's figure completely enveloped Nan Yuan. Nan Yuan felt the dangerous aura coming from him and her heart became inexplicably tense. She wanted to escape, but she found that there was no way to escape.

"Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Gu Jingheng's breath sprayed on her neck, and Nan Yuan's speech became a little slurred.

Nan Yuan's hands were stroking the desk, and she finally touched the plate of cakes. She picked up a piece of cake and put it to Gu Jingheng's mouth, saying, "Your Highness, try it. It's quite sweet."

Gu Jingheng was stunned by Nan Yuan's behavior. What was the point of fooling him with cakes? Could he be coaxed by just a few cakes?

It’s better to use local ingredients and his pastries!

Gu Jingheng snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Nan Yuan keenly noticed that Gu Jingheng's attitude had softened a little, so she reached out and put the pastry towards Gu Jingheng's mouth.

"Your Highness..."

Gu Jingheng stared at the little hands and the pastry that was so close to him. His Adam's apple slid slightly, and suddenly he opened his mouth and took a bite.

Nan Yuan's eyes lit up and she asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Her voice was soft and full of anticipation.

Gu Jingheng chewed the cake for a few times, swallowed it, and said, "Not very good, too sweet!"

Having said that, Gu Jingheng let go of his hand.

Only when the big hands that had bound Nan Yuan loosened did Nan Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, you can try eating something sweet when you are in a bad mood. Sweets can soothe people's mood. My brother told me this when I was a child, and I think it is very effective." Nan Yuan explained.

Gu Jingheng glanced at Nan Yuan. When he heard the word "brother", he thought of Nan Yuan's cousin. His voice suddenly turned cold: "Brother? I'm afraid it's not my lover brother, right?"

Nan Yuan's face changed when she heard this, but she recovered quickly and said with a faint smile, "He is my brother. Five years ago, he followed the Black Armor Army to guard the border, and there has been no news since then."

Hearing this, Gu Jingheng frowned and his eyes darkened slightly.

In his previous life, after Nan Yuan had followed him for three years, he also sent people to the Xuanjia Army to inquire about the news, but all he got was the news of Nan Mo's death.

I was afraid that Nan Yuan would be sad, so I never mentioned it to her.

In this life, as soon as he came back, he sent people to keep an eye on the Xuanjia Army, but no news has been reported back yet.

Along the way, there was no more conversation between the two.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Nan Mansion.

After Nan Yuan settled Gu Jingheng, she ran towards her father's study.

Half an hour later, Nan Yuan learned about the suspicious candidates from her father.

Nan Yuan wrote down all the names. When she came out, the sky had turned dark, as if it was going to rain heavily.

"Yuan'er, there is no need to rush right now. You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should wait until the rain is over before checking." Father Nan said with concern.

"Don't worry, father. I know what I'm doing." Nan Yuan replied with a smile.

Father Nan looked at Nan Yuan and suddenly sighed, saying with great regret: "It is because of me that I have implicated you. If I had not been careless and framed, the Xie family would not have broken off the engagement with you. In the end, it is because of me that I have implicated you."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yuan hurried forward to hold Nan's father's hand and comforted him, "Father, don't say that. It's not our fault that the Xie family broke off the engagement. Even if it hadn't happened today, there would have been other things in the future.

After all, the Xie family doesn't think highly of us, so no matter what we do, we are not worthy of their approval. Why should we punish ourselves for the mistakes of others?"

As soon as Nan Yuan finished speaking, she heard Xie Luochen's voice coming from outside the door.

"Uncle! Cousin!"

"Get out! Get him out!" When Father Nan heard Xie Luochen's voice, he was so angry that he pointed at the door and shouted.

"Yes, sir." Butler Huang immediately responded and walked out.

Nan Yuan looked at her father like this and couldn't help but comfort him softly, "Dad, don't be angry."

"His mother came yesterday, and he came today. Does he really think that our Nan family's daughter can't get married, and that she has to cling to the Xie family?" The more Nan's father thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed the table and stood up.

"Old Huang, go, tell that kid now that our Nan family is canceling the engagement! Immediately!!

It's not that the Xie family looks down on our family, it's that our family looks down on the Xie family, who are so arrogant and look down on us. We can't afford to marry them!"
