Before long, the sound of horses' hooves came rapidly, and in a short while, a group of people and horses had arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
Upon seeing the man at the front, everyone quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Welcome back to the Prince (Father)."
The king dismounted, and then everyone saw him walk to the back and pull a young girl out of the carriage.
The lamplight shone on the girl's face, and everyone couldn't help but gasp. What a beautiful girl! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as stunningly beautiful.
However, she seemed unable to move. Suddenly, the Prince condescended to bend down, picked up the girl horizontally, and strode into the mansion.
Upon seeing this, the faces of all the wives and concubines turned ugly.
Unexpectedly, the prince brought back a woman after only a few days away, and she was an exceptionally beautiful woman at that.
The crowd was indignant, but dared not speak out.
Upon entering the palace, the Prince Jue immediately summoned two maids to escort Wen Nong Nong to a side room to rest.
"Take good care of her. I still have a use for her. If she loses even a single hair, I will hold you all responsible."
"Yes." The maid's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not delay, carrying Wen Nongnong to the side room.
Upon arriving at the private room, Wen Nongnong's eyes darted around, her heart filled with hatred for that old man, Gu Shuo.
They even managed to silence her by pressing her acupoint, leaving her unable to speak now.
The maid noticed that her eyes were darting around and thought she was thirsty, so she brought her some tea to feed her.
Wen Nongnong quickly shook her head. In her current condition, how could she drink water? Putting aside whether the water was poisonous, she was already immobile. What if she needed to urinate after drinking water?
Does he just wet his pants?
She couldn't bear the embarrassment.
The maid had no choice but to put down the cup and ask instead, "Does Miss wish to lie down and sleep?"
Wen Nongnong nodded quickly.
The maid had no choice but to help her lie down.
Because the prince had instructed them to take good care of the young lady, the two maids dared not leave the room for even a moment and stayed there the whole time.
Wen Nongnong lay in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.
She was somewhat worried about Gu Linchao.
The King of Jue captured her; it was clearly to deal with Gu Linchao.
She wondered if Gu Linchao would come to Juezhou to rescue her.
On the one hand, she hoped he would come, but on the other hand, she felt that the Prince of Jue was not a good person and worried that if Gu Linchao came to Juezhou, the Prince of Jue would do something to harm him.
She was now praying that her acupoints would release automatically when the time came, rather than that some strange acupoints had been pressed and that the King himself would have to release them.
Forget it, I'll take a nap first. I need to conserve my energy so I can deal with the Jue King.
She closed her eyes, trying to drift off to sleep.
After a long time, she finally felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, when the sky was still overcast, the gatekeeper of the Prince Jue's mansion had just opened the gate when he saw a rider galloping down the long street, arriving at the mansion's gate in the blink of an eye.
The horse neighed loudly and raised its front hooves high.
Before the horse had even come to a complete stop, a man suddenly leaped off the horse and landed in front of the Prince Jue's mansion.
The gatekeeper was taken aback, and only then did he see clearly that although the man had a cold expression, he was exceptionally handsome and possessed a powerful aura that others could not match. The noble air between his brows and eyes was like that of a god, making people dare not look directly at him.
As the doorman looked around, the man walked straight toward them.
"You are..." The doorman stepped forward, his tone hesitant.
Gu Linchao ignored him, his face ashen, and walked past him straight inside.
Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered someone to stop him.
However, as soon as the servants stepped forward, they were swept to the ground by the force of the man's swing.
The gatekeeper was terrified. "Who are you? Stop right there! The Prince Ju's Mansion is not a place for just anyone to trespass."
Gu Linchao's voice was as cold as frost, "The Prince Jue went to great lengths to invite me here, yet you call me an irrelevant person?"
