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

Chapter 54: Didn’t you want to call me Brother Gu? Why don’t you call me that now?

Gu Jingheng lowered his eyes and looked at Nan Yuan calmly.

Her eyelashes were very long and trembled with her breathing, making her look very adorable.

Gu Jingheng looked at the fair and slender little hand on his wrist and said in a low voice: "How is my health?"

Nan Yuan didn't expect Gu Jingheng to ask, and her heart suddenly became even more panicked, "Wait a moment."

Gu Jingheng stared at her with a dark and deep gaze, and it was unclear what he was thinking at the moment.

The eldest princess watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help but smile slightly, her eyes full of relief.

One appears calm on the surface, but who knows what kind of turmoil is going on inside; the other has all her thoughts written on her face, and anyone can see that she is weighed down with worries.

She has seen countless people, how could such a little trick between them be hidden from her?

The eldest princess held her chin with one hand and looked at the two of them with interest. She hoped that they could be together happily even more than Gu Jingheng did!

Nan Yuan noticed the princess's gaze, but she didn't dare to look at her. She just buried her head even lower. The pulse that could have been diagnosed immediately could not be diagnosed now.

Nan Yuan was a little anxious, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her palms were soaked with cold sweat.

She was keenly aware of the eldest princess's thoughts. It seemed that the eldest princess was trying to match her with Gu Jingheng.

This is exactly the same as in her previous life. The eldest princess in her previous life was also keen on bringing her and Gu Jingheng together.

Nan Yuan closed her eyes and fell into memories of her past life.

In her previous life, she had realized that Gu Jingheng was not a good man and tried to withdraw from him several times, but because of the eldest princess's persuasion, she continued to sink deeper and deeper, and finally ended up being skinned and killed.

Gu Jingheng stared at Nan Yuan, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

Then he looked up at the eldest princess with a look of displeasure in his eyes.

The eldest princess curled her lips slightly and looked away.

"Your Highness' pulse is floating and tight, which is a sign of wind and cold invading from outside and blocking the defensive Qi. You have fever and headaches. We should focus on dispelling wind and cold, and wait until the wind and cold dissipate before warming the meridians and unblocking the collaterals."

Soon, Nan Yuan got the diagnosis results.

She withdrew her hand from Gu Jingheng's wrist, lowered her eyes to look at her fingers, which seemed to still be stained with Gu Jingheng's warmth.

Hearing this, the princess looked at Gu Jingheng nervously, "Look at you, you don't even know you're sick? If Xiao Yuan'er hadn't examined your pulse today, how long would you have waited to go?"

"No one will die." Gu Jingheng said in a cold tone and did not take the diagnosis seriously.

The princess sighed. She really couldn't do anything about him, so she turned her attention to Nan Yuan: "Xiao Yuan'er, you have to prescribe a prescription for him. His illness must be cured."

"Yes, eldest princess."

Nan Yuan responded softly.

She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the prescription: "Boil these herbs and take them for three days, and they will get rid of the cold."

After she wrote the prescription, she handed it to the eldest princess.

"Decoction?" The princess took the prescription, looked at it for a few seconds, and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that none of my subordinates are reliable. I don't know where to go when I'm decocting the medicine. I'm afraid the disease won't be cured, but worsened."

"How about that," the princess held Nan Yuan's hand and said, "How about you, little Yuan'er, take care of Jing Heng? You are Jing Heng's adopted sister now. Logically, if your brother is ill, you should take care of him."

When Nan Yuan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

"It's not a big deal. I'll just boil one more dose of medicine. If you come to my place, you can bring the medicine with you. If not, I'll ask Jing Heng to go to the Nan Mansion to get it, okay?"

Nan Yuan had already rejected the eldest princess once, and this time the eldest princess had said so much. If she refused again, she would probably make the eldest princess angry.

So she had no choice but to agree.

"it is good."

"Jingheng, why don't you follow Xiao Yuan'er to get the medicine?" The eldest princess said to Gu Jingheng with a smile.

Gu Jingheng nodded, his expression unchanged, but his hands hanging by his side were slightly curled up.

"Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'll take my leave first." Nan Yuan bowed, stood up and left.

The princess nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Nan Yuan exhaled a breath and walked out.

Gu Jingheng stared at her back closely until she disappeared around the corner. He then looked away and turned to look at the eldest princess: "Sister, you did this on purpose."

Although it was Nan Yuan's plan to recognize Nan Yuan as her sister, this plan would not have been so successful without the eldest princess's instigation.

The eldest princess rested her chin on her hand and stared at Gu Jingheng with interest: "You like her very much, don't you?"

Gu Jingheng pursed his lips and said nothing. He lowered his head and played with the chess piece in his hand, his eyes dark and unclear.

The princess saw that Gu Jingheng remained silent and said, "Sister is helping you!"

Gu Jingheng put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his face turned cold. He really didn't like others prying into his thoughts.

The princess didn't seem to realize Gu Jingheng's bad expression, and continued, "Look, isn't Xiao Yuan'er hiding from you? This time I asked you to recognize her as my sister because I wanted you to appear around her more often, and she has no reason to refuse.

I know what you are worried about. You are worried that it will be hard to get rid of this reputation. But that is a matter for the future. The current issue is how you can get in touch with Xiao Yuan'er more."

When the princess finished speaking and looked up at Gu Jingheng, his seat was already empty. She didn't know when he left or whether he heard what she said.

-

Gu Jingheng caught up with Nan Yuan when she was about to go out.

He put his arm around Nan Yuan's waist and brought her into his arms.

Nan Yuan was shocked and hurried to see if there was anyone around.

"What are you afraid of? Am I not your brother now? It's just a brother hugging his sister. What if someone sees it?" Gu Jingheng said close to Nan Yuan's ear, his voice gentle, low and seductive.

Nan Yuan's face flushed immediately. She pushed Gu Jingheng twice but failed to move him. She had to soften her voice and coax him, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have plotted against you. Can you please let go first?"

Gu Jingheng acted as if he didn't hear it, and instead held Nan Yuan even tighter.

His lips pressed against Nan Yuan's neck, his warm breath pouring over it.

Itchy.

Nan Yuan shrank her neck.

"Gu Jingheng..." Nan Yuan said in a low voice, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Hmm?" Gu Jingheng hummed softly, his voice revealing a bit of laziness and charm: "Why don't you call me brother? Didn't you want to call me brother Gu? Why don't you call me that now?"
