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

"Just arrived."

He sat down and answered nonchalantly while wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes to hide the fleeting light in her eyes.

Too close.

The smell of him lingered on her nose and she couldn't ignore it.

Nan Yuan felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, and a slight warm current flowed through her body. She turned her face away, not wanting Gu Jingheng to notice that she was abnormal at this moment.

Gu Jingheng naturally noticed that something was wrong with Nan Yuan. He looked down at the sachet he was wearing, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"What's wrong, dear?" Gu Jingheng deliberately whispered in Nan Yuan's ear, and then blew a breath of hot air on her neck.

Nan Yuan's whole body stiffened, her body temperature rose sharply, and she wanted to get closer to him uncontrollably.

"...It's okay." Nan Yuan gritted her teeth and replied, suppressing the impulse in her heart.

But the more you suppress it, the harder it is to extricate yourself.

Her face had turned crimson, and her clear eyes were gradually becoming blurred.

"Uncomfortable?" Gu Jingheng suddenly had bad thoughts.

But before he could do anything, two soft petals pressed against his lips, carrying her unique sweetness and fragrance.

Nan Yuan's tongue drilled into his mouth and stirred inside like a naughty little deer.

Her kissing skills were poor, even a bit clumsy, but this did not affect Gu Jingheng's feelings towards her at all.

Instead, it aroused his deeper desire.

His palm naturally clasped the back of Nan Yuan's head and deepened the kiss.

"Like this..." Take the initiative?

Is it because of the love poison?

Gu Jingheng suddenly felt somewhat dissatisfied with this love poison. He loved Nan Yuan with all his heart, but all Nan Yuan felt for him was lust.

Suddenly feeling a little irritated.

"pat-"

Somehow, my cheeks became wet.

When she looked up, she was crying.

"Why are you crying?" Gu Jingheng suppressed his irritation and carefully wiped away her tears, his tone filled with a hint of pampering and concern.

"It hurts so much, the board hitting my body hurts so much... They want to kill me, my brother's fingers are broken, one more step... and I would have died..." Nan Yuan said sobbing, her hands still tightly clutching the clothes on Gu Jingheng's chest.

Hearing this, Gu Jingheng's heart was filled with pain, and he promised: "I will vent your anger and will not let anyone go."

What happened two months ago was just the beginning.

In another six months, he would be able to get everything done.

No matter how wronged you are, you will suffer for another half a year.

"When? Isn't it possible now?" Nan Yuan asked, looking up.

She hated Chu Yunni and everyone in the Chu family. They tried to take her life again and again.

As long as they live, she will not be able to sleep.

Gu Jingheng didn't say anything, but this also showed his attitude.

No.

“…Okay.” Nan Yuan nodded and said nothing more. She just lay obediently on his lap.

If she said she felt hurt, would he vent her anger? Would he do something that might delay his plans?

Will not.

I knew it a long time ago, but I still didn't give up.

Asking over and over again, being disappointed over and over again.

Gu Jingheng keenly noticed that Nan Yuan was in a bad mood. He didn't understand why Nan Yuan kept asking stupid questions.

She has always been smart and knows her own plans, but she often expects things that are impossible to do now.

It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that there are better options. Why do we have to dwell on this dead end?

Gu Jingheng sighed, held her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Dear, it will be soon. I know you hate them. After a while, after a while, I will pluck out all their claws and send them to you. You can do whatever you want with them, okay?"

Nan Yuan blinked, hiding the emotions in her eyes. If he was happy to coax her, she should smile.

She raised her head, put on a perfect smile, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Nan Yuan's little face was red, and even her eyes were watery, just like a flower bud about to bloom.

Gu Jingheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he suppressed the desire in his body. He hugged Nan Yuan in his arms, lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead affectionately.

Not yet, the injury hasn’t healed yet.

But he could endure it, but Nan Yuan couldn't.

He felt extremely uncomfortable and was screaming.

"Uncomfortable?"

Gu Jingheng noticed Nan Yuan's abnormality and decided not to carry this love Gu with him in the future.

At least, not until Nan Yuan’s injury is healed.

Nan Yuan didn't say anything. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth she would moan and groan, and he would laugh at her.

She tried her best to endure it, but her heart was still beating violently. It felt like there were thousands of ants gnawing at her body, and it was itchy, hot, numb, and tingling...

Looking at Nan Yuan's appearance, Gu Jingheng chuckled and reached out to the hem of her skirt, pinching it gently.

Just as Nan Yuan was about to speak, he blocked her mouth.

"Be quiet, I'll help you calm down."

Nan Yuan doesn’t know what their relationship is like now, is they having an affair or something else?

He didn't say anything, she didn't ask, and she didn't want to bother thinking about it, so let it be.

Nan Yuan closed her eyes and let him soothe her with his hands, lips and tongue.

……

General's Mansion.

Chu Yanzhi looked at his broken left hand, a trace of pain and regret flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that the prince would actually have no feelings for him and simply had his left hand chopped off.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Chu Yanzhi sneered when he heard the voice.

how?

Cut off one of his hands, is that not enough?

What else are you going to do?

When Gu Jingheng walked in, he reeked of alcohol. He frowned slightly, then hid his emotions and walked forward in a friendly manner.

"Yanzhi, how is your health?"

Chu Yanzhi gritted his teeth and didn't get up. He watched Gu Jingheng talking to him as if nothing had happened. He became more and more annoyed, but he had no place to vent.

"Goodbye..."

After thinking for a long time, he decided to salute first, but before he could stand up, he was pushed down by Gu Jingheng.

"Why should we be so polite between you and me?" Gu Jingheng grabbed Chu Yanzhi's arms, his face full of tenderness, as if the ruthless prince two months ago was not him at all.

Chu Yanzhi looked at him, confusion in his eyes.

Gu Jingheng looked at Chu Yanzhi's severed hand again, sighed, and said, "What a pity, but I have specially found a miracle doctor for you to reattach your left hand."

When Chu Yanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed Gu Jingheng's clothes with his only remaining right hand and asked, "Are you serious?"

It's not that he hadn't thought about reattaching his hand, but after searching all over the world for famous doctors, he found that no one could do such a miraculous thing.

Now, the prince actually says that he can do it?

"Of course it's true. I even brought him here specially for you. If you want, I can let him in right now."

Chu Yanzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Jingheng looked at his happy expression, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, and he pulled his hand back calmly.

When Gu Jingheng turned around to leave, he counted silently to one, two, three, and sure enough, Chu Yanzhi called out to him.

"His Royal Highness!"

"What's wrong, Yanzhi?" Gu Jingheng put on that perfect smile again.

Chu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness, may I ask you, why did you..." Why could she just let someone chop off his hand without any regard for the old friendship?

Gu Jingheng sighed, looked at Chu Yanzhi, and said, "I didn't want to tell you at first, but since you asked, I naturally want to know the reason."

Chu Yanzhi nodded.

Gu Jingheng continued, "Do you know how many people's interests were harmed by the imperial examination you held?"

"Do you know how many memorials are put before me every day asking me to execute you?"

"It is true that I asked you to hold the imperial examination, but you acted too hastily and offended so many people in secret. So many people wanted to kill you. I suppressed all of this."

"You act too arrogantly in the palace. I am only the crown prince, and my father is above me. Even my father is controlled by those old and pedantic officials in the court. If you let them get hold of your evidence this time, they will team up to kill you. How can I do that? If I don't punish you, all that's left for you is death."

Gu Jingheng spoke to Chu Yanzhi earnestly.

After hearing this, Chu Yanzhi lowered his head.

How could he be so useless? He made so many enemies but was completely unaware of it, causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to clean up the mess for him.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. You've made too many enemies in the imperial examination, so let's put it aside for now. I'll let someone else take over. You should take care of your injuries first."

After saying this, Gu Jingheng wanted to leave.

"Your Highness, I can do it. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

The prince has considered everything for him so carefully, how could he give up halfway?

Gu Jingheng gave him a few fake words of advice and then left the matter of making enemies to him again.

The more enemies he makes, the greater the chances of his plan succeeding when Chu's father returns.

"Don't worry, Yanzhi. Once you have dealt with this matter, I will immediately restore your title."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Yanzhi sent Gu Jingheng out the door with a grateful look on his face.

Gu Jingheng winked at Chu Zhixu, who then walked in and put a fake hand on Chu Yanzhi.

Soon, screams were heard.

Another month has passed.

Nan Yuan has not been idle during this period. On the one hand, he used Gu Jingheng's name to form cliques and factions and extended his hand to the court; on the other hand, he continued to help poor candidates, waiting for them to take part in the imperial examinations and be valued.

She knew that Gu Jingheng wanted to use these commoner candidates to compete with the old ministers in the court, take back power, and uphold the imperial power.

So, she took both sides into consideration to prevent Gu Jingheng from failing.

Nan Yuan remembered that in her previous life, Gu Jingheng didn't gain much advantage, but instead suffered heavy losses.

She didn't know what her life would be like, but in short, she had to be fully prepared.

Prince's Mansion.

"No, how could you allow her to stretch her hand so long?" Shen Zhaixing walked back and forth in the study room in a threatening manner. He looked at Gu Jingheng, who still had a calm face, and felt extremely puzzled.

We must not allow the dictatorship of foreign relatives to come into being after the gentry and landlords have been defeated.

"She has plans for you. Don't tell me you can't see it." Shen Zhaixing slammed the table and asked nervously.

"It's better to have a plan than nothing." Gu Jingheng put down the document in his hand and said, "It's normal for the Crown Princess to have some power of her own."

Shen Zhaixing was so upset by this, "Are you really planning to make Nan Yuan the Crown Princess?"

"Don't forget, she's married."

Gu Jingheng was very calm: "Just divorce."

"Besides, after the imperial examination is completed, I should set an example for the people and marry a princess who is of commoner origin to show my reliance on her."

"Nan Yuan, the identity is just right."

When Shen Zhaixing heard this, it was as if he had met Gu Jingheng for the first time.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What if you fail the imperial examination? You have no reason to marry Nan Yuan? After all, her status is just..., not to mention more, her grandfather was just an ordinary citizen, and even her father was just an imperial physician."

Gu Jingheng put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and said seriously: "Then seal it. If one generation doesn't work, then two generations. All of them will be sealed retroactively."

"If you don't have enough status, then seal it. If you don't have enough money, then reward it. Whatever you lack, you will get it."

As long as he wants Nan Yuan to be his Crown Princess, there must be a way, otherwise he would be useless as the Crown Prince.

"You are crazy, I think you are really crazy, you have been bewitched by Nan Yuan!" This is not the Gu Jingheng he knew, he seems to be possessed by some evil spirit!

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you running?" Chu Zhixu watched Gu Jingheng make Shen Zhaixing angry and chased after him quickly.

"Why are you arguing with him? When has his decision ever been influenced by others?" Chu Zhixu quickly caught up with Shen Zhaixing.

"I'm not arguing with him, I just feel sorry for him." Shen Zhaixing said angrily.

"Not worth it?" Chu Zhixu asked with interest, "Not worth what?"

"How much has Ah Heng done for Nan Yuan? Look at what Nan Yuan has done. Using Ah Heng's hand to form a clique for personal gain, does she really think that others are fools who can't see it?"

"Also, the things she did before, marrying someone while Heng was away, and...what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Chu Zhixu smiled and said, "It's just a little quarrel between lovers, why do you care so much?"

"Besides, you are thinking from Ah Heng's perspective. What if you think from Nan Yuan's perspective?"

"She was living her life peacefully, but Ah Heng had to interfere, forcing her to follow him. She didn't want to, but you made her say she was ungrateful."

This made Shen Zhaixing speechless. He thought for a long time before he realized, "But, if it weren't for Ah Heng, she would have been killed long ago!"

"Without Ah Heng, she can live well." Chu Zhixu corrected: "Without Ah Heng, she wouldn't get into so much trouble and offend so many people."

"I've seen the shop she runs. It's well organized and profitable. If Ah Heng hadn't gotten involved, she would have been able to make a good living with her own abilities. Why would she have to spend so much money like she does now to earn a living?"

"What about you? You're still thinking about blocking the road that others have opened with their own money. No one in the world is as bullying as you are."

Shen Zhaixing licked the corner of her lips, not knowing how to refute.

What Chu Zhixu said does make sense. Most of the troubles Nan Yuan got into were related to Ah Heng. If it weren't for Ah Heng, she might really be able to live a good life.

"Okay, don't worry about these things. Ah Heng knows his limits."

"Where's Ah Heng?" Shen Zhaixing suddenly realized that he was gone.

"Where else can we go? Nan Yuan's place."
