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

She knew that Gu Jingheng was not a good person, and she later guessed that Gu Jingheng came that day specifically to wait for her to ask him to save her father, but she never thought that Gu Jingheng would design to frame her father.

Yes, if this was something designed by Gu Jingheng, then it would explain why she could not find out anything after investigating all the relevant personnel in the Princess's Mansion, and why that official committed suicide out of fear of punishment and even left a letter in advance to prove his father's innocence.

It turned out that this was just Gu Jingheng's plan. He just wanted me to beg him and depend on him.

The goal has been achieved, and all that remains is a sloppy ending.

However, he killed a life. The official died. Just because of Gu Jingheng's plan, he was able to take the official's life.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Nan Yuan didn't dare to imagine how helpless the official was when he died.

And her father was imprisoned this time on trumped-up charges. If she gets angry with Gu Jingheng again next time, will Gu Jingheng kill her family?

Nan Yuan's body couldn't stop shaking, and she felt a chill on her back.

Gu Jingheng never takes other people's lives seriously.

Nan Yuan felt scared. She was too naive. Could a man who could sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince be a good person?

"Sister, please be careful with your words. Now that things have passed, don't mention them again." Gu Jingheng's face darkened and he put down the teacup in his hand.

“Okay, okay, for the sake of those twenty secret guards, I will just pretend that I don’t know.” The eldest princess agreed.

Nan Yuan was standing outside and when she heard the eldest princess' voice, her body shook violently and her face became even paler.

And the eldest princess, she also knows about it.

She turned her head to look inside the room, and Gu Jingheng and the eldest princess' eyes met.

Nan Yuan felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped together. She clenched her hands into fists. She didn't want to stay here any longer. The people in the royal family were too scary.

"Da da da--"

Just when Nan Yuan was about to leave, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Her heart stopped beating suddenly and she subconsciously held her breath and concentrated. She waited until the footsteps approached before she slowly turned her head.

Looking up, she saw a group of people walking towards the eldest princess' bedroom, led by the aunt in charge.

If the aunt in charge saw her here and reported it to Gu Jingheng, Gu Jingheng would definitely guess that she had heard their conversation, and the consequences would be disastrous.

In a flash, Nan Yuan walked towards the aunt in charge.

Bumping into the head aunt, Nan Yuan immediately said, "Head aunt, may I ask where the eldest princess is now? I have been looking for her for a long time but can't find her."

The head aunt was originally wondering why Nan Yuan was here, but now after hearing Nan Yuan's question, she dispelled her doubts and said, "I will take the girl to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."

Nan Yuan took a deep breath and finally calmed herself down, but her palms were already covered in cold sweat.

The aunt in charge walked in front and Nan Yuan walked behind.

Nan Yuan kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hands. The aunt in charge suddenly stopped, and Nan Yuan also stopped. Her body froze.

"This is it, Miss Nanyuan."

The aunt in charge opened the door, whispered a few words into the eldest princess's ear, and invited Nan Yuan in.

Nan Yuan nodded and stepped into the room.

She just lowered her head, not daring to raise it at all, for fear that she would not be able to hide the panic in her eyes.

"Why is Xiao Yuan'er back?"

Nan Yuan bowed to the princess and said the words she had rehearsed countless times in her mind before coming here: "I came here this time because I am worried about the health of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"On the way back, I thought about the princess's proposal again and again, and I always felt that this method was not very reasonable."

The room suddenly fell silent, with only the crisp sound of tea cups colliding. Nan Yuan's heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out if she opened her mouth.

Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and she swallowed nervously.

"Da da da--"

The only sound in the room was the crisp sound of Gu Jingheng's teacups clinking together, which was thrilling.

He kept fiddling with the teacup with a faint smile on his face, his narrow peach blossom eyes looking deep and difficult to understand.

After a moment of silence, the princess sighed, helped Nan Yuan up, and asked, "Come on, tell me what's wrong with what you said?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, not daring to look directly at the princess.

"I have thought about it again and again, and I am afraid that frequent trips between the Princess's residence and my home will consume a lot of time on the road, thus affecting my careful care for Your Highness.

I hope to be able to take care of Your Highness when you need me most, to prevent any villain from harming Your Highness.

In view of this, I have an idea. If I can give up the running in between and live directly in the Princess's mansion to take care of Your Highness, I can use every moment to take care of Your Highness, thus ensuring that no villain dares to cross my eyes and harm Your Highness. "

Gu Jingheng's eyes became fierce when he heard this.

He had a hunch that Nan Yuan’s plan would definitely not be that simple.

Living in the Princess's Mansion to take care of the Princess, I'm afraid that she has other intentions than working in the bar.

Nan Yuan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take care of the eldest princess to avoid him. After all, if she was with the eldest princess all the time, how would he have the chance to attack her?

This is much safer than being in her own home.

The eldest princess also noticed Gu Jingheng's eyes and obviously thought of this.

"Ha!" The princess laughed out loud. She reached out and touched Nan Yuan's nose, and asked lovingly, "You are very thoughtful, but being just a maid in my house is too unfair to you. You are willing to let go, but I am not."

"When I said I wanted you to take care of me, I actually just wanted you to chat with me. How could I really ask you to do the rough and heavy work?

There is no need for you to live in my house. I cannot bear to separate you from your parents. As long as you can come to see me from time to time, I will be satisfied."

"But if I often go in and out of the Princess's Mansion without a suitable name, there is no guarantee that outsiders will make random speculations, which will be detrimental to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Nan Yuan lowered her head, her tone filled with deep worry and fear.

Even if Nan Yuan's family was poor, they could still be connected to the court. If the princess had been too close to the family members of the court officials, it might be suspected that she was forming a clique for the prince consort if the news got out.

After hearing what Nan Yuan said, the eldest princess' eyes flickered a few times and she pondered for a long time, not knowing how to respond.

Gu Jingheng said, "Then come and be my personal maid. When I come to visit my sister, I will take you with me."

When Nan Yuan heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground in panic, her head almost bowed to the ground: "Your Highness, please take back your order!"
