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

Chapter 115 Return to the Capital

"Aheng, you finally come out, let's go." Shen Zhaixing had already prepared the horse and was waiting for Gu Jingheng to come out and set off to the frontier.

Gu Jingheng led the horse over, jumped on it, turned around and said to Shen Zhaixing: "You don't have to go, stay in the capital."

Shen Zhaixing missed a step and fell off his horse. It was Chu Zhixu who helped him up and he did not fall to the ground.

He looked at Gu Jingheng in disbelief and asked, "Why?"

"Don't you want me to gain experience? If I don't follow you to the frontier, can I grow up if I continue to live a life of luxury in the capital?"

"Staying in the capital may not be better than being outside the Great Wall." Gu Jingheng held the horse whip, leaned over slightly to look at Shen Zhaixing, and said calmly: "Practice your social skills and learn from the prime minister."

Shen Zhaixing snorted coldly: "What kind of exercise? It's obvious that you are tired of me and want to throw me away."

Gu Jingheng looked at Shen Zhaixing's unhappy face, sighed slightly, and said, "Do you still think you can help me by following me to the frontier?"

"I……"

It seems like I really can't help.

Shen Zhaixing was speechless for a moment, but said unconvincedly: "You can't just abandon me!"

"I understand that you left Ah Xu behind to take care of that woman, but why did you leave me behind?"

"You can't just leave me to Nan Yuan to argue with every day, right?"

If that were the case, Gu Jingheng would probably be able to see Nan Yuan's body when he comes back.

That’s right, I guarantee that he must have pissed her off to death.

"I've got a task for you." Gu Jingheng didn't answer him but changed the subject.

"Hmm?" Shen Zhaixing rushed over immediately when she heard there was a mission, looking at Gu Jingheng expectantly: "What mission?"

"Ah Xu's identity is not suitable for many places, so the places he can't take care of are handed over to you. If I come back and Nan Yuan loses a hair, I will ask your Prime Minister to find a good marriage for you."

Gu Jingheng said lightly.

Shen Zhaixing's originally happy expression instantly fell: "You want me to clean up Nan Yuan's mess like you do, no matter who she offended, I have to clean up the mess for her?"

"You know me, but I don't have that much ability. It's not an easy task to deal with the aftermath."

These are all things that offend people.

"No need to clean up the mess. You can beat and scold her as much as you want, just make sure she is safe." He will clean up the rest of the mess when he comes back.

Didn’t Nan Yuan always say that he didn’t care about her?

Then he changed it!

She wanted legitimate protection, so he gave it to her.

As soon as Gu Jingheng finished speaking, he rode away, not giving Shen Zhaixing any chance to refute.

Shen Zhaixing looked at the dust stirred up on the ground and stared blankly at the place where Gu Jingheng left.

"No, how can there be such a person? I treat him as a brother, but he treats me as a servant!"

"He may not necessarily be a servant. Perhaps he is a son." Chu Zhixu, who was watching the fun, came over and spoke quietly.

"Go to hell, why are you still making fun of me?" Shen Zhaixing kicked him, and the fact that he didn't hit him didn't stop him from cursing.

"It's obvious that she failed to gain anything and ended up getting me involved." Shen Zhaixing said angrily.

Chu Zhixu frowned, not understanding what Shen Zhaixing meant, so he asked, "What do you mean by stealing a chicken but losing the rice?"

Shen Zhaixing rolled her eyes at Chu Zhixu and snorted coldly: "Why should I tell you?"

Having said that, he walked aside.

"Where are you going?" Chu Zhixu asked as he followed behind.

"Return to the court! People have said that if Nan Yuan loses a hair, do I have to ask my father to find me a wife to take care of me?"

"For the sake of my happiness for the rest of my life, I can't let Nan Yuan suffer any loss!"

Even though she was the one who poured cold water on him, didn't Chu Zhixu say to take good care of him?

The woman is so delicate. If she continues to stay in this poor and remote place, something bad might happen to her.

Chu Zhixu followed behind, shaking his head and laughing. He couldn't understand how Gu Jingheng and Shen Zhaixing grew up together but had such completely different personalities.

One has a snake heart but a silver tongue, the other has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

***

Inside Nanyuan's tent.

The soothing incense rose up and filled the entire tent.

But Nan Yuan, who was sleeping on the couch, had a frown on her face and tears streaming down her face.

Nan Jiamu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't bear to wake her up, so he could only wipe Nan Yuan's tears bit by bit with a handkerchief.

He was originally going to follow Gu Jingheng to the frontier, saying that he would be given a chance to make merit and would be rewarded after returning to the city.

But thinking that he had been away from home for five years and that the family was finally reunited, she couldn't bear to separate him from his family again, so she let him stay.

In fact, he also knew why Gu Jingheng took such special care of him, it was just because of the relationship with Nan Yuan.

It just so happens that he was tired of fighting and killing, so it would be good for him to go home and rest.

"Don't……"

Nan Yuan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of horror.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan'er?" Nan Jiamu put the handkerchief aside, sat down quickly, and patted Nan Yuan's back gently.

Nan Yuan looked at Nan Jiamu in a trance for a while, then suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, can we go back?"

The dream she had was so horrible. She dreamed that Nan Jiamu was executed by Gu Jingheng after helping Gu Jingheng kill many people.

When the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the good dog is cooked.

The more power you hold, the more people will fear you. The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Nan Yuan didn’t know how to explain this to Nan Jiamu, she only knew that he could no longer stay in the barracks with the military token.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go prepare the carriage." Nan Jiamu patted Nan Yuan's hand.

He didn't know what nightmare Nan Yuan had, but if she wanted to go home, then she could go home.

I have saved up for five years of home leave, so I guess I can rest for a long time.

After Nan Jiamu finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Nan Yuan lowered her head, her hair falling down her shoulders, covering her pale face. Her hands were clenched into fists, clutching the quilt beside her, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Ah! You haven't finished yet?"

Suddenly, a man's slightly teasing voice came to her ears, interrupting her thoughts.

Nan Yuan looked over and met Shen Zhaixing's face.

"Please don't blame us, Miss Nanyuan. We two are here to visit you on behalf of someone else." Chu Zhixu explained behind Shen Zhaixing.

Upon seeing this, Nan Yuan was about to stand up to entertain the guest.

"Just lie down. I can't bear your gift." Shen Zhaixing said as he found a seat farthest from Nan Yuan and sat down. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Nothing good happens every time I see you, so I'll tell you everything at once so we don't have to meet again in the future."

Isn't it true that nothing good happens every time?

When he met Nan Yuan for the first time, he wanted to teach her a lesson to vent his anger on Gu Jingheng, but he didn't expect that after Gu Jingheng found out, he would directly send him here to supervise the army.

The second time I caught her trying to kill herself, I poured cold water on her in the middle of the night to win her favor.

But she didn't get anything good this time, as she ended up losing more than she gained.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingheng was going to go beyond the Great Wall. After what she did, her body was damaged, so Gu Jingheng simply decided not to take her to the Great Wall and let her recuperate.

Live it!

She fought for favor, but ended up being sent to the cold palace.

This is not a big deal. The most important thing is that he was left in the capital and was asked to take care of Nan Yuan!
