Wen Nongnong pretended not to see his meaningful gaze, her eyes darting away, and stubbornly said, "I didn't ask him, why did you bring him up, brother?"
Wen Tingyun smiled without saying anything and did not expose her.
"Go back and prepare yourself. The Emperor will come to fetch you personally once he has dealt with the matter," he said gently.
Wen Nongnong paused for a moment, and when she heard Gu Linchao's identity change from prince to emperor, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Thinking of something, she coughed and asked casually, "By the way, Your Highness is now the Emperor, have any ministers been sending people into the harem... uh, to put people in there?"
"Guess," Wen Tingyun said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
Wen Nongnong's face fell. "Yes, right?"
Wen Tingyun said solemnly, "In the Emperor's harem, you are the only one, and you are far away in Xiangzhou. Naturally, someone has designs on you."
Wen Nongnong was very unhappy upon hearing this, especially considering that someone was desperately trying to take advantage of Gu Linchao, which made her very uncomfortable.
After thinking for a moment, she clenched her fist and said, "Big brother, I plan to go to the capital tomorrow." She wanted to go to the capital to keep watch and prevent those sluts from having any designs on her.
Seeing her anxious expression, Wen Tingyun couldn't help but chuckle. "There's no need to rush. You should know that after this trip to the capital, you won't be returning to Xiangzhou. You should at least make some arrangements and preparations."
Wen Nongnong slumped her shoulders and remained silent.
"What are you worried about?" Wen Tingyun chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Don't you know the Emperor's character? Even if officials want to send people into the harem, they have to get his permission first. If he doesn't agree, who would dare to do that? So, you don't need to worry at all. Just stay in Xiangzhou and wait for the Emperor to come and pick you up in person."
Wen Nongnong pursed her lips. "He wouldn't have done that before, but now he's the emperor. With so many temptations, he might have some ulterior motives."
Wen Tingyun said with a laugh, "Before becoming emperor, he wielded considerable power. If he wanted to, he could have opened a harem, but he didn't. Don't overthink it; the emperor isn't that kind of person."
Wen Nong Nong knew Gu Linchao's character and knew he wouldn't do anything to betray her, but since she wasn't by his side, she couldn't help but overthink and feel uneasy.
Wen Tingyun first escorted her back to the Prince's residence, and then turned back to the Wen residence.
After watching her brother leave, Wen Nongnong turned around and stepped into the mansion gate, only to see Si Luo carrying Gu Huaijin and walking towards her. She quickly went to greet him.
