Prince Yan's Mansion.

Although Shen Guidi came back hungry.

After what Lin Huaian had done just now, she had no appetite at all and said she was full after just a few bites.

He Qingchen pursed his lips.

Without waiting for Shen Guidi to say anything, he reached out and picked her up by the waist, put her on the bed, and said softly: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat it. I will ask someone to prepare some snacks from the south. You can try them when you are hungry."

"Ah."

"You've been tired for most of the day, why don't you take a rest first?" He Qingchen said softly.

Shen Guidi glanced at him dimly, neither saying whether to sleep nor not to sleep. He Qingchen relaxed his brows and immediately took off his robe and shoes, got on the bed, and lay down beside her.

Shen Guidi lay flat on his back, without any sleepiness in his eyes, staring blankly above the bed.

He Qingchen was originally facing her sideways.

Seeing her like this, he pursed his lips, slowly held her in his arms, and let her head rest in his arms.

The other hand patted her back gently.

He patiently and gently coaxed her, "Go to sleep, don't think about it. From now on, I will accompany you in whatever you want to do. Even if... you want to attack the Lin family, I will help you."

Shen Guidi lay in his arms, listening to his breathing, and vaguely made a "hmm" sound.

She was hugged tightly, her hand on his chest, and she could still feel the pounding heartbeat. The unique scent of He Qingchen lingered at the tip of her nose.

Unconsciously, her eyelids became heavier and she even began to feel a little sleepy.

After a while.

He Qingchen looked down at her.

Although only the side of her face could be seen, her long eyelashes trembled, her little mouth was slightly open, and her breathing was shallow, which made her particularly adorable.

He Qingchen felt soft in his heart.

The arm that was resting on her head was stiff and sore. He moved slightly. Shen Guicui frowned slightly, and He Qingchen was so scared that he dared not move again.

After a while.

There was a flurry of footsteps outside the door, and a figure approached from a distance and knocked gently on the door: "Your Majesty..."

It was Butler Wang’s voice.

He Qingchen turned his head and glanced at Shen Guidi who was sleeping soundly. He did not respond, for fear of waking her up.

There was another knock on the door, and Butler Wang's voice sounded again: "My Lord?"

He Qingchen was secretly annoyed at Wang Huan's ignorance of the seriousness of the matter.

Ah Yi just fell asleep. Is there anything that can’t be discussed later?

After thinking for a moment, he carefully pulled his arm out.

Shen Guidi was sleeping soundly. He just frowned, turned his head sideways and slept inside. Maybe he felt hot, so he moved his body. The next moment, his feet fell outside the quilt and he slept like a pig.

He Qingchen curled his lips silently, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her on the mouth.

Her lips were so sweet and fragrant that he couldn't help but explore further.

Thinking that Wang Huan was still waiting outside, he grumbled in dissatisfaction, leaned over again and whispered something in her ear, licked her lips, rubbed her nose, and then walked out.

Outside.

Wang Huan's heart almost jumped into his throat.

Knowing that the prince and princess were resting, based on past experience, he would definitely not be so rash as to come and knock on the door.

But this is a special case!

He knocked on the door twice, but he didn't know if the prince and princess were asleep or what, there was no sound from inside.

He paced up and down the corridor.

While wondering whether I should knock on the door again, I looked towards the door, hoping that the person inside had heard the sound.

However, no.

Then...should he knock again, louder?

at this time.

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and He Qingchen walked out with a dark and cold face.

Wang Huan was startled and rushed forward: "Wang..."

He Qingchen raised his hand to interrupt him and looked at Wang Huan indifferently.

Wang Huan understood and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

He Qingchen then relaxed his expression and whispered, "Follow me."

After saying that, he looked at the guards in the yard and said, "You guys follow too."

Everyone didn't understand what was going on and quickly followed.

After leaving the courtyard and making sure that Shen Guidi would not be disturbed, He Qingchen instructed the guards in the courtyard: "Watch the courtyard carefully and don't let anyone disturb the princess's rest. If there is anything, wait until I come back."

"Yes."

"Keep your voice down and don't disturb the princess." He Qingchen's face turned cold and he warned carefully.

The guards looked at each other, but lowered their voices and responded again. Seeing that the yard was surrounded tightly, he felt relieved and took Wang Huan out with confidence.

"What happened?" He Qingchen went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.

Wang Huan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."

If the person coming was just an ordinary messenger, Wang Huan would not be so nervous. The key point was that the person coming was the most powerful old maid beside the queen. He knew without even thinking that this person was coming for the princess.

He didn't dare to delay and could only come over in person to ask for help.

He Qingchen paused slightly.

Obviously understood what Wang Huan meant.

There had been visitors to the palace before, and Wang Huan had always handled them well, but he had never lost his composure like he did today.

He pursed his lips: "Who is coming?"

Wang Huan: "Madame Gu from the Queen's palace, I have already invited her to the main hall."

Nanny Gu?

He Qingchen didn't have a deep impression of this person, he only knew that she was not young anymore.

This nanny is his mother's confidant.

She is the Gu family's daughter. She has been good-looking since childhood, but her personality is soft and gentle, and she is easy to control.

The Queen brought her to the palace, intending to ask her to help consolidate her favor.

But in the end, it was another maid who could not suppress her greed and desire, and took advantage of Emperor Zhao Yuan's drunkenness to climb onto his dragon bed.

The maid thought she was going to ascend to heaven in one step.

The result was really a "step to heaven".

The first thing Emperor Zhaoyuan did after waking up was to be extremely angry. He immediately ordered his men to drag her out and beat her to death with sticks. As a result, for a long time afterwards, there were few concubines in the palace who sought his favor.

The queen was short of servants, and she was originally wanted to take over.

However, she was too soft-hearted and anyone could step on her. Seeing that she really couldn't stand up, the queen didn't force her and simply let her be an obedient maid in the palace.

She originally had the opportunity to leave the palace.

No one knew what had tripped her up, and she had to endure the torture in the palace.

It takes decades.

Two years ago, the head nanny of the queen left the palace due to illness.

No one knew what the queen was thinking, but she transferred this Nanny Gu to work by her side. Although she was not the head nanny, her status and dignity were much higher than the new head nanny.

As He Qingchen walked towards the main hall, he tried hard to search his mind for memories related to Nanny Gu.
