He carried Wen Nong Nong back to the bed, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, she suddenly rolled over and pressed his hand under her.
As luck would have it, it's precisely the most delicate part of a woman's body...
When Gu Linchao first touched the cotton husk, he was completely stunned. It took him a long time to realize what it was.
He was covered in sweat and it took him a lot of effort to free his hand, but the feeling was so lingering that it seemed to have taken root in his palm, something he couldn't forget even if he wanted to.
After a long while, Gu Linchao sighed softly.
The next day.
When Wen Nongnong got up, she found something under her. When she picked it up, she was surprised to find that it was Gu Linchao's outer robe.
She was startled. How did Gu Linchao's outer robe end up on her bed?
Could it be... that she slept with Gu Linchao last night?
Really?
That can't be right.
She shook her head, dismissing the idea.
Because even if she wanted to be with Gu Linchao, he might not be willing.
Unless she's shameless and insists on dragging him along, that kind of situation is unlikely to happen.
But how do you explain this outer robe?
Just then, Lü Qiao walked in carrying a copper basin.
"Lvqiao, how did the prince's outer robe end up here?"
Green-haired and radiant, she glanced at her and said with a smile, "Don't you remember, Miss?"
"What should I remember?" Wen Nongnong asked blankly.
“You fell asleep in the study last night, and the Prince carried you back. He must have been worried you'd catch a cold, so he took off his outer robe and draped it over you,” said Lü Qiao. Although she hadn't seen the Prince take off his robe, she guessed that he was dressed lightly when he carried her back.
Thinking about it this way, she realized that the prince treated her young lady quite well.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback, somewhat incredulous. "I was looking down in the study?"
“Yes.” Lü Qiao nodded, wrung out a handkerchief, and handed it to her.
Wen Nongnong took it and wiped her face haphazardly. "Then why don't I feel anything at all?"
"That's because your eyes were downcast, Miss," Green Fairy said nonchalantly. Then, as if remembering something, she added with a grin, "However, when the Prince left last night, his face was very red and he was covered in sweat. I wonder what you did to him when your eyes were downcast, Miss."
Wen Nongnong paused, "You didn't misread it, did you?"
"Of course not, I saw it very clearly," Green Fairy shook her head.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
When she had her eyes down, she probably didn't take advantage of Gu Linchao, right?
She was somewhat uncertain.
After washing up, she folded her outer robe and returned it to the West Garden.
But Gu Linchao went to court and hasn't returned yet.
When she ran into Steward Chen, she couldn't help but ask, "Is the Prince feeling any better?"
Steward Chen nodded. "His Highness is in good health and has recovered this morning. He went to court early this morning."
"That's good." Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Gu Linchao would insist on going to court despite feeling unwell, not taking his health seriously.
He could ignore it, but she had no choice but to take it to heart.
She was counting on him to intimidate Gu Heng and Wen Ruyi.
Seeing her concern for Gu Linchao, Steward Chen was very pleased and asked, "Would Your Highness like to wait for the Prince to return before having your meal, or would you like to have your meal first? This old servant will then instruct the kitchen to prepare accordingly."
"I'll wait for His Highness to return before we dine together," Wen Nongnong sighed, her voice filled with worry. "I can't rest easy until I see His Highness is alright..."
