Gu Linchao sat on his horse and glanced in this direction.
When she saw a woman sitting in front of Gu Heng, she didn't pay any attention to it, only thinking that Gu Heng had reached the age and it was indeed time to choose a concubine.
"Let's go." He withdrew his gaze and gave the order in a deep voice.
"drive!"
A group of people quickly left the village.
Wen Ruyi glanced at the manor behind her, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on her lips.
She finally broke free from that cage.
She looked away and glanced at the man behind her, her eyes flickering.
She had heard that some men have a natural protective instinct towards delicate women.
Men of Gu Heng's status should belong to this category.
"Cough!" She suddenly lowered her head and coughed.
Seeing this, Gu Heng held her shoulder and asked, "Are you cold?"
"It's alright." She shook her head, trying to appear strong.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Heng simply took off his cloak and wrapped it all over her.
"You look very weak. Once we return to the palace, I will have the imperial physician examine you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruyi lifted a corner of her cloak and looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt and surprise.
Gu Heng thought that she was probably confused about his identity, so he explained, "I am the Emperor of Daye. I am grateful for your rescue today, and I will repay you properly."
Wen Ruyi's face showed fear, "So you're the emperor?"
"Hmm," Gu Heng reassured her, "Don't be afraid. You saved me, so you're different from others. You don't need to be so reserved. By the way, what's your name?"
Wen Ruyi shook her head blankly, "I don't remember..." As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched the back of her head, "When I woke up, I was injured here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng felt even more sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, she suffered from amnesia, couldn't even remember her own name, and was trapped in that village.
Wen Ruyi's eyes darted around. "Since you are the emperor, why don't you help me choose a name?"
Gu Heng paused for a moment, then smiled. "Okay."
A look of triumph flashed across Wen Ruyi's eyes.
The following day, at the Regent's Palace.
Wen Nongnong was still asleep when Lü Qiao hurriedly knocked on the door.
"Miss, the second young master has come to see you."
Wen Nongnong, clutching her blanket, turned over, displeased that her peaceful dream had been disturbed.
"What's that brat Wen Tingyun doing here so early?"
"Miss, are you up?" Green Fairy came in carrying a copper basin. Seeing that she was still lying in bed, she said helplessly, "The Second Young Master has been here for a while. He seems a little anxious, as if something urgent has come up."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong reluctantly sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched her legs to reach for her shoes under the bed.
Lü Qiao shook her head with amusement and went over to help her put on her shoes.
Fifteen minutes later, Wen Nongnong finally finished dressing and washing up and went to the flower hall to see Wen Tingyun.
Wen Tingyun had already drunk two cups of tea when she finally appeared, and couldn't help but complain, "The princess is really putting on airs, making me wait for quite a while."
Wen Nong Nong sat down in the chair opposite him and said irritably, "I was about to say something to you too. Coming over so early in the morning, I couldn't sleep well. You'd better have something important to say."
Wen Tingyun was furious. "I'm your second brother, after all. How can you talk to me like this?"
"Okay, it's my fault. What do you want to tell me?" Wen Nongnong said seriously.
"This morning, the people I arranged at the estate came to report that Wen Ruyi was taken back to the palace by the Emperor last night..." Wen Tingyun said this with a guilty look in his eyes. He had to take the majority of the responsibility for this matter, since it was his negligence that gave Wen Ruyi the opportunity.
Although Nong Nong had explained everything so clearly to him, in his view, she was just a weak woman, trapped in the manor; what trouble could she possibly cause? Therefore, he only sent two old women to watch over Wen Ruyi, but unexpectedly, things still took an unexpected turn…
