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

Chapter 206 Depression

"Ah! How did you get hurt like this? It's such a shame to ruin such a beautiful face!"

When the female doctor saw the long bloodstain on Nan Yuan's right face from behind the ear to the corner of the mouth, she cried out in surprise.

Nan Yuan didn't react when she heard this. She just sat there blankly on the edge of the bed.

Her eyes were looking at the ground, where there seemed to be a pool of blood, and there seemed to be a person lying in the blood.

"Did you see anything?" Nan Yuan asked in a daze.

While the female doctor was applying medicine to Nan Yuan and bandaging her wound, she looked in the direction Nan Yuan was looking. The ground was clean, so where was the thing?

"No." The female doctor answered truthfully, and then reminded Nan Yuan: "Take this medicine once in the morning and once in the evening, otherwise you will get scars on your face."

The female doctor handed the medicine to the maid who was serving her and left.

"How come, no?"

“It’s clearly there.”

Nan Yuan muttered to herself, still staring at the pool of blood in a daze, but she kept thinking in her heart: Why, why is it like this? Why can't I see it?

It's quiet at night.

Nan Yuan lay on the couch, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

A dim little lamp was placed at the head of the bed, making Nan Yuan's face look even paler.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Before Nan Yuan could come to her senses, someone grabbed her neck and tore off her clothes.

Nan Yuan was terrified and struggled desperately, kicking and hitting the person with her hands and feet.

The man's movements were rough and brutal, without any mercy for women. He threw Nan Yuan onto the bed, lifted her legs, and rushed towards her fiercely without any tenderness.

"Ah...get away...don't touch me!"

Nan Yuan screamed in pain, tears filling her eyes.

Gu Jingheng snorted coldly: "It's the same trick again, aren't you tired of acting it out?"

Gu Jingheng stretched out a hand and patted Nan Yuan's cheek frivolously: "Put away your worthless tears, this trick will not work on me."

Nan Yuan looked up in disbelief, looking at Gu Jingheng with tears in her eyes. Her body was in great pain, but Gu Jingheng refused to let her go and continued to torture her.

"Gu Jingheng... don't do this, I'm afraid you'll hurt me..." Nan Yuan cried, her body shaking violently, and her words were intermittent.

"Afraid?" Gu Jingheng curled his lips and smiled, with a chilling cold light flashing in his eyes, "You're afraid now?"

"Why weren't you afraid when you were stealing from someone?"

Nan Yuan cried even harder, her eyes were red, and her body kept twisting and shaking.

Seeing Nan Yuan so pitiful, Gu Jingheng became even angrier. He lifted Nan Yuan's slender legs, put them on his shoulders, and asked viciously, "Has he been here?"

Nan Yuan didn't feel any pleasure at all, only endless pain and humiliation.

"It hurts..." Nan Yuan choked, tears falling drop by drop on the pillowcase, staining it into a bunch of gorgeous tear lotuses.

Her eyes were full of despair and sadness, but it did not soften Gu Jingheng's heart at all. He still looked at her coldly, as if she was a lifeless puppet, lifeless.

"Pretend, keep pretending. I want to see how long you can keep pretending."

Gu Jingheng rushed forward even harder, with such force that his force almost crushed Nan Yuan's legs, sending pain throughout her body.

When Nan Yuan was about to faint from the pain, Gu Jingheng pressed hard on the wound on her calf caused by the porcelain piece and forced her to wake up.

Fainted, awake, awake, fainted...

After being tortured over and over again, Nan Yuan has become numb. She has even lost the feeling of pain. The only thing she can feel is despair.

Nan Yuan gritted her teeth and endured the pain, no longer begging for mercy.

It's useless, he won't have mercy on her, and begging for mercy will only bring humiliation.

Nan Yuan turned her head away, and the moonlight filtered through the gap in the window and fell onto the ground.

The white moonlight slowly turned into blood-red, and in the pool of blood was still the woman who had died tragically.

But this time, Nan Yuan saw the woman's face, it was herself.

The dead person was Nan Yuan.

The torture did not end until the early morning. Gu Jingheng let go of Nan Yuan and tidied his clothes.

"Nan Yuan, I am warning you that my patience is limited. Next time, if you annoy me like a dead fish again, I will cut off one of your brother's fingers."

"You also know that it is normal for the Royal Guards to encounter danger."

"Don't worry, you have ten, no, nine chances to be with Gu Jian."

When Nan Yuan heard this, her body couldn't stop shaking.

She had no doubt that what Gu Jingheng said was true. If she really did something wrong, Gu Jingheng would cut off one of her brother's fingers without hesitation.

"No...I...I'll be obedient..." Nan Yuan said in a trembling voice.

Gu Jingheng raised a cruel and bloodthirsty smile. He lifted Nan Yuan's chin and said, "Smile."

Nan Yuan immediately grinned, but that smile was uglier than crying.

When Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan's forced smile, he became even angrier.

"Get up and help me get dressed." Gu Jingheng ordered in a cold voice.

Nan Yuan didn't dare to disobey and quickly got off the couch. Her legs were trembling and she could hardly stand steadily, but she didn't dare to go against his wishes.

Gu Jingheng sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan carefully picked up the quilt and covered her naked body, then knelt in front of Gu Jingheng and helped him dress.

Gu Jingheng felt even more unhappy when he saw Nan Yuan, who was so humble and submissive.

Even he himself didn't know what he was angry about.

After getting dressed, Gu Jingheng walked away indifferently.

Nan Yuan collapsed on the couch, gasping for breath.

After a night of tossing and turning, Nan Yuan was extremely tired, and her whole body felt sore and weak as if it was falling apart.

After Gu Jingheng left, Nan Yuan didn't move and just let herself lie on the cold couch.

"Ahem."

Nan Yuan covered her mouth and started coughing violently.

Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken gong.

Nan Yuan's body collapsed on the bed, staring at the bloodstains on the ground with a dazed look, a hint of mockery and despair at the corner of her mouth.

The woman on the ground will be her final fate, sooner or later.

Nan Yuan loosened her hand, and some blood suddenly appeared on her palm.

She was coughing up blood.

The servants in the Prince's Mansion are accustomed to changing their attitudes according to the situation.

Yue Ran was locked up by Gu Jingheng, who did not allow them to meet as master and servant.

Seeing that Nan Yuan was not welcomed, the servants became even more lazy.

No one came to replace the medicine on Nan Yuan's face for several days.

Food was just thrown around the house at random, leaving it to die.

Nan Yuan didn't care. She stayed by a dim light every day, closed the door tightly, and watched the flickering candlelight.

She was afraid of the dark, so she lit a candle; she was also afraid of seeing people, so she kept the door closed.

The only person Nan Yuan saw every day was Gu Jingheng. They had nothing else to talk about and only communicated in bed.

Our bodies are becoming more and more familiar with each other, but our hearts are becoming more and more distant.

Gu Jingheng would leave after venting his anger and never stay overnight, and Nan Yuan would never ask him to stay.

But later, Gu Jingheng stopped leaving. He and Nan Yuan cuddled together every night, sleeping with their arms around each other, just like the sweet love of a newlywed couple.

Nan Yuan, however, couldn't sleep every night. After Gu Jingheng fell asleep, she went down barefoot and stood by the window.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Nan Yuan felt increasingly cold in her heart.

She saw blood on the ground more and more often, the miserable condition of the person on the ground became clearer and clearer, and the frequency and amount of coughing up blood also increased.

She seemed to have foreseen her future fate.

Two months passed like this and then the cold winter arrived.

As usual, after venting his anger, Gu Jingheng hugged Nan Yuan from behind and rubbed her abdomen with his hands.

"You've lost weight." Gu Jingheng whispered softly in Nan Yuan's ear.

Nan Yuan raised the corners of her mouth just right, putting on a perfect mask, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will eat more in the future, and my hands will feel the same as before."

Gu Jingheng was silent for a moment and tightened his arms around Nan Yuan.

After a while, he said, "You seem to be getting further and further away from me."

It was clearly right at hand, but he felt like he couldn't grasp it.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am right here and I cannot escape your control."

"Shall we have a child?" Gu Jingheng suddenly said.

Nan Yuan's body froze, and she couldn't find her voice for a long time.

"Okay?" There was a hint of caution in Gu Jingheng's voice.

Maybe having a child would be much better.

Even for the sake of the child, Nan Yuan would stay by his side peacefully and never leave.

He used to hate the idea of ​​using a child to tie a woman down, but now he has no other choice.

Nan Yuan no longer liked him, and even hated him.

But he still liked Nan Yuan very much and couldn't let her go.

Nan Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "If Your Highness the Crown Prince can give me a child, it would naturally be my honor."

Gu Jingheng was happy, but before he could laugh, he heard Nan Yuan's next words.

"But I've been drinking too much contraceptive medicine recently. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to get pregnant at this time."

Gu Jingheng licked his lips. He knew that Nan Yuan was right. It was not suitable to have a child at this time.

It is extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth.

Nan Yuan needs to take good care of herself and only think about having a child after she's well.

What he wants is the safety of mother and child, and he will not tolerate any loss.

"Okay, then let's take care of ourselves first." Gu Jingheng compromised.

Nan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She knows her own physical condition and is afraid that she won't be able to wait until that time.

The next day, Gu Jingheng summoned the female doctor to come and take care of Nan Yuan's health.

"Why wasn't the medicine changed on time?" When the female doctor changed Nan Yuan's medicine, she found that the wound on Nan Yuan's face did not improve, but instead showed a tendency to become more serious.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the medicine you prescribed was replaced by someone else, and the other is that the medicine was not replaced properly.

When Gu Jingheng heard this, he looked around with cold eyes.

The maids immediately knelt down in a large group, begging for mercy one after another, which was very noisy.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"This is none of my business, please spare my life, Your Highness!"

The maids blamed each other. Who could have thought that after such an ugly incident, they could still be favored again?

Gu Jingheng's face was terribly gloomy, but he didn't lose his temper in front of Nan Yuan.

He just had these maids disposed of and replaced them with new ones.

The female doctor prescribed some conditioning medicine for Nan Yuan, and Gu Jingheng asked for a dose of medicine that could make people sleep.

Mix them together and let Nan Yuan take it.

He knew that Nan Yuan didn't want his child, and the so-called recuperation was just an excuse.

But he wanted to.

In order to prevent Nan Yuan from interfering, putting her to sleep is also a good option.

Someone was taking care of her closely, and it didn't matter whether she was asleep or awake.

Nan Yuan spent half a month in a daze. She was drowsy during the day and was only allowed to wake up for a moment at night when she saw Gu Jingheng. She could not do anything.

It's evening.

Gu Jingheng fed Nan Yuan the antidote as usual, and within a moment, Nan Yuan regained consciousness.

It's dark inside.

Gu Jingheng forgot to turn on the light. To him, there was no difference between darkness and daytime; he could see clearly in both.

But Nan Yuan is different.

The darkness frightened her.

"Boom——"

A flash of lightning struck, and Nan Yuan saw Gu Jingheng's face.

"what--"

"Get off!"

"Do not touch me!"

Nan Yuan had just woken up and her consciousness was still a little confused.

She did not think about the fact that Gu Jingheng was the crown prince who held the power of life and death over her, but only thought that all her misfortunes were caused by him.

It was he who pretended to be Xie Luochen to deceive her, and it was in such a dark scene.

It was he who caused her to be paraded through the streets and drowned in a pond. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could remember how those people scolded her, pointed fingers at her, spit on her, and threw dirty things at her.

It was he who locked himself up here, isolated himself from the world, and forced her to do this every day...

Nan Yuan shrank to the foot of the bed in fear, covered herself with the quilt, and shivered.

The hand that Gu Jingheng had just stretched out was suspended in mid-air. She was afraid of herself. He clearly saw the great fear in Nan Yuan's eyes.

She is afraid of him.

How could she be afraid of him?

She should love him or hate him, but how could she be afraid of him?

"Ayuan..." Gu Jingheng's voice was a little choked, and he reached out to pull Nanyuan.

"You shouldn't be afraid of me. How can you be afraid of me?"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

He turned around, drew out the dagger with a "swish", and walked towards Nan Yuan under the moonlight.

Nan Yuan watched helplessly as Gu Jingheng pulled out a dagger and approached her.

Finally... is it here?

Nan Yuan closed her eyes.

Death is also a kind of relief.

"laugh--"

The sound of a dagger piercing flesh.

Nan Yuan waited for a long time but didn't feel any pain.

She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Jingheng, only to see Gu Jingheng stabbing the dagger into the back of his right hand.

Blood dripped down along the tip of the knife.

"So, you won't be afraid of me anymore?"

The corners of Gu Jingheng's eyes were red as he looked at Nan Yuan eagerly.

study.

"Why do you get injured every now and then?" Chu Zhixu sighed as he treated Gu Jingheng's wound.

He hadn't been injured in the past year or so, but this year he has been running here every day.

"Where is the antidote?" Gu Jingheng looked at Chu Zhixu.

"Are you in such a hurry?" He thought that the love potion came at the right time, and it would give Gu Jingheng a suitable reason to express his feelings to Nan Yuan.

For adult men and women, communication in bed is a great help in promoting feelings.

Therefore, he was not so anxious to research the antidote.

Chu Zhixu didn't know what had happened between Gu Jingheng and Nan Yuan during this period.

"As soon as possible." Gu Jingheng said in a calm voice.

He didn't like the feeling of not being able to control himself, nor did he want to see Nan Yuan crying quietly in the middle of the night and wetting her pillow every night.

"Okay." Chu Zhixu didn't know why, but since he had been told, he just did it.

"Oh, by the way, Qi Chuan is back."

"Where?"

"I came to the Prince's Mansion this morning. Didn't you see me?"

backyard.

Hua Qichuan was wandering around. This time when he came back, he really wanted to meet the woman who could control Gu Jingheng so well.

I wanted to meet him before I went beyond the Great Wall, but time was tight and I didn't have the chance.

Today, he wants to see who that person is.

Turning around, Hua Qichuan arrived at Gu Jingheng's bedroom. He walked inside and saw a slender figure sitting on a swing from afar.
