She always felt that what happened back then was not as simple as it seemed.
In the future, if this edict is to be used to overthrow Gu Heng, Gu Linchao must be made aware that the rescue he received by the Crown Prince of Jiande was a play he orchestrated himself.
Otherwise, even with this imperial edict, it would probably be useless, as Gu Linchao would certainly not use it.
Furthermore, we cannot let Gu Linchao know about the existence of the will.
Thinking it over, she carefully put the will back into the box, then found a secluded place to hide it.
After confirming that everything was correct, she went to sleep.
Because even now, her legs are still a little sore.
study.
Wang Houde emerged from the study in a strange manner, momentarily thinking he was dreaming.
His master actually asked him to find some books about romance and sex for him to read.
He thought he was hallucinating.
I pinched myself hard and it hurt, which confirmed that I wasn't dreaming and that my master really had given that order.
It's like the sun has risen in the west.
My master, who has always despised that kind of calligraphy and painting, actually asked to see it one day.
What exactly triggered this shock in our master?
Despite his complaints, he quickly went and found a few books on romance and the like.
"Master, the book you requested has been found," Wang Houde said with a look of self-satisfaction.
Gu Linchao said indifferently, "Leave it there, you can leave now."
Wang Houde put the book down and, as he left, reminded his master, "I've left it here. Don't forget to read it, Master. I went to great lengths to find these. The contents are wonderful and can be considered an introductory guide for beginners. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
Gu Linchao gave him a cold glance.
Wang Houde shrugged, not daring to say another word, lowered his head, and quickly retreated.
After he left, Gu Linchao's gaze fell on the books. He hesitated for a moment before picking one up and flipping through it.
Before long, he put it down, his face flushed, finally finding an explanation for the problem that had been bothering him.
No wonder last night, even towards the end, Nong Nong was still not very comfortable and kept rejecting him.
So, it wasn't enough...
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips.
...
night.
Gu Linchao went to the military camp in the afternoon and did not return, so Wen Nongnong ate dinner alone.
Not long after dinner, she asked Lüqiao to prepare water for a bath. After taking off her clothes, she checked her body and found several faint bruises on her body, all left from the previous night.
Her face flushed, and she splashed water on it.
However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that Gu Linchao had not returned yet.
He probably won't come over tonight.
After taking a bath, she leaned against the soft couch and read a book, while Lü Qiao stood beside her with a towel and helped her wring out her hair.
Just as her hair was almost dry, Lü Qiao's voice suddenly rang out, "Your Highness."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback and looked outside.
Sure enough, Gu Linchao walked in from outside.
Upon seeing him, Wen Nongnong paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, her calves suddenly trembled.
"Your Highness...why have you come?" After a long while, she stammered.
"It's getting late," Gu Linchao said calmly, his dark eyes slightly closed.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant.
He meant that it was already very late, so he came over.
So... you're planning to spend the night here?
In an instant, Wen Nongnong felt a little nervous.
Thinking about what happened last night, she shuddered.
In the past, she was always very curious about that kind of thing, but after actually experiencing it, she found that it was different from what she had imagined, even very different. She had no experience of what the books said about "gaining immortality or death." In addition, Gu Linchao had good stamina, so last night, she could be said to have suffered a lot.
She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Just as she was trying to find an excuse to avoid it, Gu Linchao suddenly handed her a box with carved patterns.
She stared at the box in front of her, then looked up at the man. "What?"
"This is a hairpin I bought for you. I don't know if you like it," Gu Linchao said gently.
Wen Nongnong was somewhat surprised, reached out and took the box, then opened it.
Inside lay a pure gold hairpin, the head of which was shaped like a rabbit.
She was stunned for a moment. She had never seen a hairpin with such a design before. It was so unique and cute.
However, what attracted her most were the rabbit's two eyes.
The rabbit's two eyes are inlaid with purple gemstones, making them very beautiful and unique.
Wen Nongnong took one look and immediately fell in love with it.
"Thank you, Your Highness." She held the hairpin, clearly delighted with it.
Seeing that she liked it, Gu Linchao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, please help me put it on, I want to see it." Wen Nongnong tugged at his sleeve and said impatiently.
"Okay." Gu Linchao took the hairpin from her hand, but looking at her loose long hair, he was at a loss for what to do and didn't know how to insert it.
At the opportune moment, Lü Qiao handed over a comb.
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then reached out and took it.
He had never combed a woman's hair before, nor did he know how to style a woman's hair.
For a moment, looking at the woman's long, flowing hair, he felt somewhat troubled.
Wen Nong Nong then noticed that her hair was still loose, and said, "Your Highness, just comb it for me, as long as I can put a hairpin in it."
Gu Linchao had no choice but to comb her hair.
This was the first time he had combed her hair, and he was afraid that he would be too rough and damage her hair, so he combed it very carefully.
Wen Nong Nong noticed it and secretly looked at him with her peach blossom eyes.
