After she changed her clothes, she noticed that Gu Linchao still hadn't returned, and she immediately became suspicious. Had she scared Gu Linchao away?
She frowned, got up, and hopped out of the house on one foot.
Then they saw Gu Linchao, dressed in a single layer of clothing, standing with his hands behind his back under the corridor.
The cold moonlight cast his shadow on the ground, making him appear lonely and desolate.
Her heart tightened, and she blurted out, "Your Highness!"
Gu Linchao heard the sound and turned around.
The girl stood there on one leg, looking unusually thin and fragile.
Gu Linchao's heart tightened, and then he quickly walked towards her.
What are you doing out here?
“I thought you had gone back to the West Garden since Your Highness hadn’t returned for a long time…” Wen Nongnong said, her wet eyes staring at him without blinking.
Gu Linchao felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. Without saying a word, he bent down, picked her up, and carried her into the house.
After carrying her to bed, Gu Linchao urged gently, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
"Oh," Wen Nongnong responded, and spontaneously moved to lie down on her side on the inside of the bed.
After Gu Linchao turned off the lights, he lay down next to her.
Looking at the man lying beside her, Wen Nongnong felt a little regretful.
If she hadn't injured her foot, the two of them would probably have gotten together naturally tonight.
After all, Gu Linchao did have that intention last night. If it weren't for the sudden change that interrupted things, they probably would have been together already.
Thinking about it, she couldn't sleep, so she moved closer to him. "Your Highness, could you tell me about your past?"
Gu Linchao rested one hand behind his head, his mind filled with many thoughts. Suddenly, the girl's soft body brushed against him, and her soft voice fell into his ear. He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her.
"What do you want to know?" he asked gently.
Wen Nongnong recalled what happened in Juezhou and what the King of Jue had said. She was very curious about what had happened when Gu Linchao was a child.
Why did Prince Jue say that if he and Crown Prince Jiande hadn't arrived in time, Gu Linchao would have been violated?
Moreover, why would a prince like Gu Linchao end up in Juezhou?
And what about that lecherous scoundrel?
Wen Nongnong had so many questions she wanted to ask, but she knew very well that these were things she shouldn't ask.
She vividly remembered that after the Prince Jue said those words, Gu Linchao's expression turned extremely frightening.
It seems this was a secret he couldn't bear to share.
Therefore, no matter how curious Wen Nongnong was, she wouldn't be foolish enough to walk right into the line of fire.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I know that in his youth, Your Highness fought on all sides and made countless contributions to the great cause. Your Highness's achievements are unprecedented and unparalleled. If one day..."
She paused, then explained, "I was just using an analogy. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and as the saying goes, 'When the birds are all gone, the bow is put away.' It's better to be safe than sorry..."
Hearing this, Gu Linchao already knew what she wanted to say, and said calmly, "Don't overthink it, none of those things will happen."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong swallowed back the words that were already on her lips.
She sighed silently to herself. It seemed that Gu Linchao had high expectations for Gu Heng.
But he had no idea that Gu Heng had already decided to get rid of him.
Thinking of his fate in the original book, Wen Nongnong felt a little heavy-hearted.
How can she remind him?
He was such a good person, he shouldn't have ended up like that...
Just as she was lost in thought, the man's warm hand suddenly landed on her head.
