There is nothing in this world that can be kept secret, let alone the fact that Gu Jingheng is making such a high-profile decision to choose a title for Nan Yuan.

Thank you, Prince's Mansion.

“Chen’er, have you heard that the Crown Prince has recognized Nan Yuan as his adopted sister?” Princess Xie hurriedly grabbed Xie Luochen and asked, “I just sent Princess Zhaoren back to the palace, and on the way I heard that the Crown Prince had stayed in the Ministry of Rites for three whole days just to choose a title for a princess. I asked around and found out that this princess turned out to be Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan!”

When Xie Luochen heard this, his hand, which was practicing calligraphy, suddenly stopped. The ink spread across his white rice paper, quickly dyeing it black.

"Chen'er! What are you thinking about?" Princess Xie asked worriedly when she saw Xie Luochen like this.

Xie Luochen then realized that shouldn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like Nan Yuan?

How could he recognize Nan Yuan as his sister?

What are they doing?

"Chen'er, do you think I should go to the Nan family again and rekindle the engagement before the news gets out? After all, Nan Yuan is about to become a princess!"

Now that Nan Yuan has become a princess, there is no need for her to force her son to marry Princess Zhaoren.

"It just so happens that you also like the girl from the Nan family. I don't have any objections to her now, so let's keep the marriage. Even if I have to sacrifice my reputation, no matter how the Nan family humiliates me, I will take back the marriage for you."

Princess Xie was just speaking when she suddenly noticed a group of people coming outside.

“This is…” Princess Xie was a little surprised, but the officer went straight to Xie Luochen.

"Thank you, my Lord. You have been away from your post for too long. Lord Shen specially asked me to come and ask you to return."

Lord Shen?

Xie Luochen frowned, he seemed to understand something.

He adjusted his facial expression, then put down the paper and pen in his hand, walked forward and said, "Thank you for your help, my Lords."

Turning around, he said to Princess Xie, "Mother, I am sorry to have wronged you. I will have to trouble you with my child's marriage to the Nan family."

Before Princess Xie had the time to say a few more words, Xie Luochen followed the crowd and left.

-

Nan family.

Nan's father didn't know that Nan Yuan was going to be canonized as a princess. He was still working in the Imperial Hospital. At this time, Nan Yuan was the only one in the Nan family.

"Your Highness, why...why are you here?" Nan Yuan saw Gu Jingheng walking towards them and hurriedly retreated.

She still remembers clearly how she cheated Gu Jingheng last time. Could it be that Gu Jingheng came here this time to settle the score with her?

When Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan looking frightened like a frightened bird, he suddenly had evil thoughts in his mind.

He walked forward quickly, and Nan Yuan could only hide backwards. When she had no more room to retreat, Gu Jingheng asked, "Why are you hiding? Do you still feel guilty?"

Behind Nan Yuan was a cold wall, and in front of her was Gu Jingheng who was coming at her with great momentum. She was stuck in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.

She didn't even know when someone would suddenly come in and catch them in the act.

"Your Highness, it was you who asked me to leave that day." Nan Yuan's words were a little unclear, but she still flattered him: "Your Highness's words are as good as gold. How dare a little girl like me go against your Highness's wishes?"

Nan Yuan's words put herself in a very low position, and Gu Jingheng would definitely feel embarrassed to argue with her.

Just as Gu Jingheng was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

He looked back and saw Ah Qi hurriedly walking in from the door: "Master, something bad has happened!"

Gu Jingheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Nan Yuan took this opportunity to escape from Gu Jingheng, and secretly thanked God that Ah Qi came at the right time and helped her escape.

"An epidemic has broken out in the disaster-stricken area outside the city." Ah Qi's expression was solemn. "The Black Armor Army has already controlled the victims. Master Shen and the others are really unable to handle it. We are just waiting for the master to go and take charge of the situation."

Black Armor Army?

Isn’t that the military camp where my brother is?

Nan Yuan's brain was buzzing.

Gu Jingheng lowered his eyes and walked out.

Nan Yuan grabbed the corner of Gu Jingheng's clothes.

"what happened?"

"Can you take me with you?"

"What's the reason?"

"I'm a doctor and I know medical skills." Nan Yuan thought for a moment but still didn't tell anyone about her brother's experience in the Xuanjia Army.

"Pick out any imperial physician whose medical skills are no worse than yours." Gu Jingheng refused without hesitation.

He stared into Nan Yuan's eyes with a slightly cold look.

He knew what Nan Yuan was thinking. He didn't care how scheming Nan Yuan was. What he cared about was her sincerity towards him. But she didn't tell him a word of truth now, so why should he do as she wished?

The atmosphere between the two was subtle and the room was silent.

A thought suddenly flashed through Nan Yuan's mind, and Nan Yuan said with gritted teeth: "You just recognized me as your sister a few days ago. Now your sister wants something from you, and you... won't agree?"

"Oh?" Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Yuan: "Then... call me brother and let me hear it."

Nan Yuan lowered her head and bit her lip slightly, with a look of shame and embarrassment.

"Forget it." Seeing this, Gu Jingheng turned around and was about to leave.

One.

two.

three……

"Don't……"

Nan Yuan blurted out, she stretched out her hand and gently stopped Gu Jingheng.

"Ok?"

Gu Jingheng looked back at her. Nan Yuan opened her mouth several times but couldn't shout out.

The two of them remained in silence for a moment.

Until Nan Yuan finally mustered up the courage and squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "...Brother."

The sound was not much louder than the buzzing of a mosquito, but Gu Jingheng was quite satisfied and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He took Nan Yuan's hand away, raised his foot and walked forward.

Nan Yuan sighed. This was purely a way of taking advantage of her, right?

Noticing that Nan Yuan didn't follow him, he stopped, looked back at Nan Yuan, and said, "Are you still not leaving?"

Hearing this, Nan Yuan's eyes lit up and she quickly followed.

She left a message for Yue Ran, asking her to comfort her father as she had to go out for something.

But when Nan Yuan walked to the door, she suddenly became troubled.

She didn't know how to ride a horse and there was no carriage available. What should she do?

Gu Jingheng climbed onto the horse swiftly, then extended his hand to Nan Yuan, and said in a teasing tone, "Why don't you get on, my dear sister?"
