Gu Linchao's mind went blank, and his smooth forehead was soaked with sweat.
He didn't hear what she was saying at all; he only felt the distinct, tingling sensation under his hands...
His fingers froze there, too afraid to move.
After a long while, he came to his senses, subtly withdrew his hand, and looked away. "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll go to my study first." With that, he walked past her and headed towards the courtyard gate.
Wen Nong Nong watched him leave, and found it amusing that he was moving his arms and legs somewhat in unison.
Haha, Gu Linchao is really easy to tease.
She laughed for a while, then took the internal energy cultivation manual that Gu Linchao had given her and returned to Chenxiang Courtyard.
This internal energy cultivation manual was not as complicated and difficult to understand as she had imagined, because there was a line of small annotations below the manual, written in cinnabar ink, making it easy to understand at a glance.
It was clearly added by Gu Linchao later.
Judging from the age of the ink stains, they seem to have been added just a few days ago.
Could it be that Gu Linchao added it specifically for her so that she could understand it?
Thinking of this, she felt a strange sweetness in her heart.
After flipping through a few pages, she tried to sit cross-legged and regulate her breathing, as instructed.
At first, she could understand and followed the instructions to regulate her breathing.
But later on, she lost her way and took the secret manual to the study to find Gu Linchao.
Gu Linchao had been sitting in his study for half a day, but hadn't dealt with anything at all.
Si came in and changed his tea several times, but seeing that he was still lost in thought, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He had never seen his master like this before.
It seems that the prince has been like this ever since he summoned the princess to the West Garden.
He left the study with doubts, only to see Wen Nongnong walking towards him from a distance.
He quietly closed the study door and then retreated into the courtyard.
"Si Yi, is the Prince inside?" Wen Nongnong asked, then glanced at the study behind him. Just as she was about to step onto the stairs, Si Yi stopped her with a hand. "The Prince does not wish to see you at this moment."
Wen Nongnong was stunned. "How is that possible?"
Si Yi's expression was cold. "Doesn't she know what the Princess Consort did to the Prince?"
"What did I do to the prince?" Wen Nongnong asked blankly.
Si Yi reminded her: "In the West Garden."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong immediately thought of what had just happened, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
Could it be because she grabbed Gu Linchao's hand and placed it on his heart that he no longer wanted to see her?
No way?!
Does he have to be so conservative and distant?
Although the two did not consummate their marriage, they were still a legitimate married couple.
If she doesn't mind, why should he?
Wen Nongnong was somewhat discouraged.
When Si saw her constantly changing expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
She must have done something to the prince, which is why he was distracted all morning and even neglected his most important official duties.
The princess's influence on the prince is too great, which is not a good thing for him.
"Your Highness still has official business to attend to, Your Highness, please return first," Si Yi said with a stern face.
Wen Nong Nong lowered her head and had no choice but to walk back.
She took a couple of steps, then remembered something and turned back. She opened the manual, pointed to a line of mental techniques, and asked, "Si Yi, what does this mean? Can you explain it to me?"
In her opinion, Si Yi's martial arts skills were not weak either, so he must know them too.
