Chapter 185: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (50)

"Peach Blossom? What did the princess send you here for? What instructions did she give you?"

Wen Wan: "The princess was very worried about the prince, so when she heard that the prince was injured, she sent me to come and see him."

"Qin Jiang, has news of my injury gotten out?"

The lieutenant replied, "No, as per the prince's request, news of his injury is still being kept under wraps, and it's even less likely that the capital city would know."

Wen Yan: "..."

She panicked.

Damn it, is this going to give us away?

"I—" Wen Wan's eyes darted around in panic, instinctively clutching her sleeve, "I—"

"Get out." Gu Xi suddenly spoke.

Wen Yan: "..."

She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, since she hadn't thought of a reason yet and she really didn't want to stay there.

"It wasn't you, Qin Jiang. Take everyone out. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

Vice Admiral: "???"

"Your Highness, this woman's origins are unknown, and there are many suspicious points about her. Perhaps—"

"go out."

The deputy general had no choice but to take the doctor and guards out and close the door.

Wen Yan: "..."

Why keep her here? Do you really intend to kill her?

"If Your Highness wants to find someone, you can find Chunye or Xiaotaozi. Why find a maid I have never seen before?"

Wen Wan: "Because they're busy."

After saying that, he didn't even believe it himself; it was too clumsy.

"Look into my eyes."

Wen Wan was startled, her eyes red as she stared at Gu Xi. In an instant, she felt incredibly wronged. She had traveled so far and suffered so much, and yet this person was still being mean to her.

Do such people exist?

Gu Xi was slightly taken aback. "Why are you crying? I was just asking routinely, I didn't scold you."

After explaining, I wondered why he had to explain such a thing.

But strangely enough, he just couldn't bear to see this person cry, and he couldn't find any reason why.

"How is the princess now?" Gu Xi asked.

Wen Wan: "The princess is so wronged. As soon as the prince left, she was confined to the palace and could not go anywhere."

Gu Xi's face turned ashen. "She wasn't bullied, was she?"

When Gu Xi asked this, Wen Wan thought about what had happened to her recently. "Of course she was bullied. She didn't eat or dress well, and she was targeted by the Empress. She couldn't see the Prince, and she cried every night and thought about him every day."

Gu Xi: "..."

That familiar feeling came back again.

Wen Wan looked at the maid in front of her. Her expression and tone of voice were so familiar, but her acting was really bad.

"Your Highness has worked hard."

"It's not hard work at all. The princess said that as long as the prince is well, it's all worth it for her to suffer any hardship."

"Uh~" Gu Xi suddenly clutched his chest, his expression changing drastically. Wen Wan instinctively ran forward, "Your Highness, are you alright? You're all better now, aren't you?"

"I am seriously injured. The doctor just said that I am afraid I will not survive this ordeal."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

How is that possible?

"System, is there something wrong with the medicine you gave me?"

System: [...] Please, can you use your brain? Is this person pretending not to see it?

The medicine is fine.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xi spat out a mouthful of blood, which terrified Wen Wan.

System: 【！！！】 Looking at the male protagonist, it actually began to doubt whether there was really a problem with the medicine. But how could there be a problem with the medicine from the Transmigration Bureau? It could bring even the dead back to life, let alone just serious injuries.

"Are you alright? I'll go find a doctor. You hang in there for now."

Wen Wan's hand was grabbed as she stood up. "Tell the princess that I really love her very much. If I die, tell her not to be sad, and that she can find someone else to accompany her in the future."

"If you die, she will remarry, taking your child with her."

Gu Xi: "..."

Suddenly, I didn't know whether I should spit out that mouthful of blood.

Wen Wan's tears streamed down her face. "You can't die. If you die, she'll empty your palace and find three or four gigolos. She definitely won't die for you."

"Then I will truly die with my eyes open in disgrace, Your Highness, don't you agree?"

Wen Wan: "I don't know, you can't die."

She realized what she had said, her eyes widened, and she tried to run away, but Gu Xi grabbed her tightly. "Don't move, the wound is going to open up again."

Wen Wan immediately froze, too afraid to move.

Although her identity was exposed, she was afraid of reopening Gu Xi's wounds, so she didn't even dare to hide, but dared not look at Gu Xi.

"Your Highness? Which one is the real you?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"Was it you who came to my room yesterday?"

Wen Wan remained silent, but Gu Xi continued, "You sneaked in, forced me to take medicine, and then quietly left, all while looking completely unfamiliar. Your Highness, are you human, a demon, or a deity?"

Wen Wan gave up struggling, knowing she would find out sooner or later anyway. But she was curious, "How did you recognize me? I'm clearly not the same as her."

Gu Xi smiled and said, "I wasn't sure at first, I was just guessing, but I didn't expect to be right."

Wen Yan: "..."

So you were bluffing her?

So you vomited blood?

"Really, it's just a bruise."

"So you were faking it just now? Why are you doubting me?" A normal person wouldn't doubt me like that, right? Chu Huang's appearance is completely different from hers; there's not a single resemblance.

"When you truly like someone, you become familiar with everything about them, even if they have a different face. However, many things cannot be hidden."

"So now isn't it my turn to ask? Who are you? What is your relationship with Chu Huang? If you are not Chu Huang, then what was your original identity?"

Wen Yan: "..."

This question hits the nail on the head.

System: [Remember, do not reveal your identity or my identity, otherwise there will be serious consequences. You'd better make up something.]

Wen Wan: How is she supposed to make this up?

"I am actually a deity, here to experience a love tribulation."

The system was surprised. It was supposed to be edited by its own host, but it wasn't supposed to be edited to look so fake.

"So your love tribulation is me?"

Wen Wan nodded.

"Do you know magic?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "When I descended to the mortal realm, my magic was sealed, so I am just an ordinary person."

"So you're possessing Chu Huang's body? Then what about the real Chu Huang? Where did she go?"

Wen Wan: "She has already entered the cycle of reincarnation."

"So what is your immortal title?"

Wen Ju: "Wen Ju."

"Will you leave me?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "No."

Gu Xi smiled, then pulled the person into his arms. "Don't lie to me."

"Um."

System: [? ? ?] Does it not understand this world? Does it not understand the male protagonist? Is it too inexperienced? Such a ridiculous reason, how can any normal person actually believe it?

Wen Wan was also shocked. She didn't expect that Gu Xi really believed her and had begun to suspect that she was not Chu Huang a long time ago. The point of certainty was that her handwriting was so bad that the real Chu Huang could not write it at all.

Wen Yan: "..."

That's just ridiculous.

"So this is what you really look like? Did you change back to your original form for my sake?"

Wen Wan nodded.
