And his arm around Wen Nongnong's shoulder never let go.
Upon seeing this, Empress Dowager Guo gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, almost losing her composure.
Seeing that Wen Nongnong did not want to see the imperial physician, Gu Linchao said to Empress Dowager Guo, "If the princess does not want to see the imperial physician, then so be it. She may have just caught a cold. She will be fine after resting at home. Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager."
Having said that, before Empress Dowager Guo could speak, he directly picked up Wen Nongnong and carried her horizontally.
Wen Nong Nong naturally wrapped her arms around his neck.
The girl's soft, boneless arms suddenly wrapped around him, causing Gu Linchao to stiffen slightly and look at her with some surprise.
Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly, "I'm afraid you'll drop me." As she spoke, she tightened her grip on her arm.
A flush rose to his handsome face. Gu Linchao looked at the girl's face so close to his own, and his heart fluttered, his emotions stirring.
He suddenly couldn't bring himself to say the word "no." He stood there holding her for a while, then finally walked away with her in his arms.
Watching the two people walk further and further away, oblivious to everyone else, Empress Dowager Guo's fingertips dug deeply into her flesh.
If nothing's wrong, why are you still holding her?
Is Wen Nongnong's foot injured?
A deep gloom swept across Empress Dowager Guo's eyes.
She didn't believe Gu Linchao was the kind of person who would be swayed by beauty; it must be that vixen Wen Nongnong who used some underhanded tricks.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes. The Regent's Palace was far too small in number.
Let's leave it at that for today, tomorrow then. Tomorrow she needs to speak with the Empress Dowager and offer some suggestions.
How could such a powerful vixen like Wen Nongnong be allowed to dominate such a vast Regent's Palace?
If we bring in a few more beauties, it will be quite lively.
Empress Dowager Guo's lips curled into a smile.
On the other end, once she was sure she was out of Empress Dowager Guo's sight, Wen Nongnong hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please put me down quickly."
Gu Linchao was taken aback, but seeing her insistence, he had no choice but to put her down.
As soon as Wen Nongnong landed, she tugged at his sleeve, "Your wound hasn't healed yet, won't you tear it open again?"
Hearing this, Gu Linchao felt a warmth in his heart, took her hand, and said gently, "It's alright."
"But you just hugged me..."
"You don't weigh much."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong was overjoyed. Women all like to be complimented on their light weight, and she was no exception.
"But is Your Highness really alright?"
"It's nothing," Gu Linchao said.
"Then I'm relieved." Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief and instead took his hand. "Your Highness, let's go home quickly."
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on the hand she was holding, and he paused for a moment before replying, "Okay."
...
Inside the Nine Stars Palace, Wen Ruyi slowly woke up.
She looked at the top of the tent with a somewhat blank expression, then suddenly realized something and sat up in surprise.
"Don't move around." Gu Heng had just walked over when he saw her making such a big movement. He was startled and stepped forward to press down on her shoulder. "Lie down properly."
Wen Ruyi stared at him blankly, then her eyes filled with tears. "Your Majesty? Is it really you? Or am I dreaming?"
Gu Heng sat down by the bed and comforted her, "Of course not. You've been through a lot these past few days."
Wen Ruyi immediately shook her head, "I am not tired. I have offended the Regent's wife and deserve to be punished..." As she spoke, she placed her hand on her stomach, "If it weren't for the fact that I am already pregnant, the Cold Palace would not be a suitable place for me to rest. I would not dare to risk my life to escape from the Cold Palace..." As she spoke, she began to sob.
