The lush green foliage sheltered him, making his profile even more perfect. His jet-black hair cascaded over his shoulders, softening his sharp features and adding to his elegance.
Such a beauty makes one want to stop and look at her a few more times.
But now is not the right time to appreciate it.
Wen Nongnong only paused for a moment before regaining her composure and walking over.
When she got closer, she could see that Gu Linchao was wiping his nosebleed.
Crimson blood seeped from between his fingers, a truly shocking sight.
"Your Highness?" she looked at him in surprise.
Gu Linchao paused, and when he turned his head to meet her wide, peach-blossom eyes, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face. He frowned slightly, but said nothing, and turned to walk towards the hot spring pool.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a full quarter of an hour before she came to her senses.
Oh my god, Gu Linchao has a nosebleed.
Of course, she wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Gu Linchao's nosebleed was because he saw her.
It must be that nourishing soup, right?
Did the Empress Dowager think that Gu Linchao was incapable, so she ordered the imperial physician to prepare the medicine and have it brewed into a tonic soup, which was then sent to the Prince's residence for Gu Linchao to drink?
Could it be some kind of super-nourishing tonic soup?
If that's the case, how could a man like Gu Linchao, who is already full of vigor, possibly withstand it?
She shuddered at the thought of the Empress Dowager's purpose.
Fortunately, Gu Linchao wasn't the type to act recklessly, otherwise she would have been in trouble tonight.
She didn't dare linger and quickly left the place.
Not long after Wen Nongnong left, Granny Zeng led her people into the hot spring pool.
But in the huge hot spring pool, the person who should have been soaking in it was Gu Linchao.
Granny Zeng asked in surprise, "When did the Prince arrive? Where is the Princess?"
Gu Linchao leaned against the pool wall, his robes still on. While suppressing the restlessness within him, he took a moment to say, "I understand the Empress Dowager's intentions. Granny Zeng, please take your people back to the palace."
Granny Zeng was now in a dilemma.
She was ordered to leave the palace today and could only return after the prince and princess had consummated their marriage.
But the prince always kept his word, and she didn't dare to disobey him.
After thinking for a moment, he compromised and said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager wishes for you and the Princess to consummate your marriage as soon as possible."
"I know. Go back and report to the Queen Mother. I will not let her down."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zeng's expression relaxed. "Then this old servant will return to the palace first."
After Granny Zeng and her entourage left, Gu Linchao finally took off his robes.
In the misty air, the man's figure was slender and upright, with distinct lines and well-proportioned, firm muscles. Every part of him was just right, as if favored by the Creator.
However, at this moment, Gu Linchao was not feeling well; his smooth forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
It took a long time to suppress the restlessness within him.
Meanwhile, at the Agarwood Courtyard.
After returning to her room, Wen Nongnong drank a large cup of cold tea.
However, when she lay down on the tatami mat to sleep, she began to feel hot all over, and her mind was filled with the scene she had just seen outside the hot spring pool.
The man's handsome profile and tall, imposing figure kept stirring her senses...
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
It must have been caused by that tonic soup.
Although the tonic soup was mainly for men, it would also have an effect on women, especially since she drank two bowls of it.
She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn't drunk that soup.
I got up, washed my face with cold water, and opened the window to let the cold wind blow on me for a while. The heat in my body finally dissipated a bit.
