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

Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Nan Yuan gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to ask, "Yesterday I learned from my father that there are several candidates who have the opportunity to exchange my father's medicine box, but they are all officials appointed by the court. Can I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to invite them out for me so that I can ask a few questions?"

Gu Jingheng lowered his eyes to look at the ring in Nan Yuan's hand, took Nan Yuan's hand, and said: "Seeing this ring is like seeing me in person. I have already given the power to you, why are you still asking me?"

"There is a Yulin Army outside the Princess's Mansion who will accompany you to investigate the case."

Hearing this, Nan Yuan's eyes lit up, she pulled her hand out of Gu Jingheng's big palm, and bowed to him: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Having gotten what she wanted, Nan Yuan didn't linger for long.

Nan Yuan's back walked farther and farther away among the layers of bamboo shadows and disappeared from sight, while Gu Jingheng stood in place, his eyes always stayed on the end of the bamboo forest.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the direction where Nan Yuan left, and his eyes became deep and unfathomable.

Little kite, I am very patient. I will tighten the string little by little until you are completely dependent on me.

Thank you, Prince's Mansion.

Ever since Xie Luochen returned home, he has been staying in the study.

Princess Xie heard from the servant who served him that Xie Luochen knelt in the rain at the gate of the Nan family for half an hour, and started coughing non-stop when he came back. She was angry and distressed when she heard this.

She really didn't know what kind of love potion Nan Yuan had given her Chen'er. Why would the usually obedient Chen'er give up the Xie family's century-old reputation and even his own future for her?

It was obvious that Princess Zhaoren could bring greater help to him and the Xie family, so why did Xie Luochen seem to be blind to this and insist on having Nan Yuan regardless of anything?

"Princess, the prince said he wanted some quiet time." The servant tried his best to stop Princess Xie, but still couldn't stop her from breaking in.

"This princess is only here to deliver medicine to him, and will leave after that."

Princess Xie winked at the servant behind her, who immediately stepped forward to control the boy and opened the door for Princess Xie.

Princess Xie walked in and saw Xie Luochen supporting the table with one hand and his forehead with the other, obviously worried about something.

When he saw Princess Xie, he just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, then shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Princess Xie sighed softly, walked quickly forward, and placed the medicine bowl in her hand on his desk.

"You are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child? Don't you know your body? You are really great to kneel in the rain for half an hour. Do you want to make your mother die of heartache?" Princess Xie said as she took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from Xie Luochen's cheek. Although her tone was reproachful, it could not hide the heartache in her heart.

Xie Luochen felt upset when he heard this and shook her hand away: "I know what's going on."

Xie Luochen was already annoyed. He knew the origin of Princess Zhaoren. It was just a trap set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make him give up his marriage with Nan Yuan.

Once he follows the Crown Prince's wishes and cancels his marriage with Nan Yuan, he will completely lose his value. Not to mention marrying Princess Zhaoren, the opportunity to provide disaster relief outside the city that he has worked so hard to get will also be taken away for some unfounded reasons.

"Do you have an idea? What do you have an idea about? If you had an idea, you wouldn't have gone against my wishes and insisted on marrying Nan Yuan! How can a mere daughter of the Imperial Physician be comparable to Princess Zhaoren?

Do you know what Princess Zhaoren is? She is the daughter of the current emperor and the sister of the crown prince. If you can marry Princess Zhaoren, you will be the emperor's consort!

Do you know what a consort is? Look at the princess's consort, he has risen to prominence all the way! Even his family has risen to prominence!

Even though Princess Zhaoren is not as noble as the eldest princess, it is better than you marrying a little daughter of the imperial physician!"

Princess Xie explained the reason to Xie Luochen, but Xie Luochen remained indifferent and just said, "Mom, don't worry about this matter. Anyway, I will not marry Princess Zhaoren."

"Send Princess Zhaoren back the same way you invited her here!"

Xie Luochen didn't know how to explain the matter of Princess Zhaoren to his mother. Even if he explained it clearly, his mother might not believe it.

She didn't understand what a long-term plan meant, and she was determined to marry the so-called Princess Zhaoren.

He had never heard of Princess Zhaoren before. It was just a title casually drawn up by the Ministry of Rites a few days ago by the Crown Prince. With such a sloppy handling, he could not see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attached any importance to Princess Zhaoren. He was just using her, just a cover to deceive her parents.

"You, you, are you trying to piss me off to death?" Princess Xie pointed at Xie Luochen angrily.

Xie Luochen also became angry, and said directly: "If you really want our palace to have a Princess Zhaoren, you can.

Either you let my father marry her, or you give birth to a brother for me to marry her. I won’t marry her anyway. If you force me to marry her, I will become a monk on the wedding night.”

Xie Luochen's words were so powerful that Princess Xie couldn't help but be startled.

She had never seen her son so determined. In the past, she always thought that her son's liking for Nan Yuan was just a temporary curiosity, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

And she knew that her son had a stubborn character, and once he made up his mind, nothing could change his mind.
