Even so, he still couldn't fall asleep and stayed awake until dawn.
...
The next day, when Wen Nongnong woke up, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart.
My neck hurts, my back aches, and both legs feel numb.
Gu Linchao had already disappeared from her side.
If it weren't for the scent of him on her pillow, she would have thought that Gu Linchao had left after she fell asleep.
Her body was so sore and achy, could it be that Gu Linchao did something perverted to her while she was asleep?
Otherwise, how can we explain the strangeness in her body?
Could Gu Linchao have some kind of perverted fetish?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and she couldn't help but shudder. She really couldn't believe that Gu Linchao was that kind of person.
After she finished dressing and washing up, she asked Lü Qiao and learned that Gu Linchao had gotten up early to go to court and was probably already at the Ministry of War.
Knowing that today was the second day of the martial arts examination and that Gu Linchao would likely have to stay at the Ministry of War for the day, Wen Nongnong's thoughts began to stir again.
Today is the first day of Baihualou's reopening after its first renovation. It must be packed with customers and bustling with activity. She then decided to go to Tunzhou to see how the Fifth Elder managed things and how the other four elders were doing.
Without hesitation, she dressed and left with Lü Qiao.
This time, she told Steward Chen directly that she wanted to go back to the Wen residence.
Butler Chen didn't think much of it and even sent her a carriage.
After getting into the carriage and leaving the city, Lüqiao said with some worry, "Miss, will the Prince be angry if he finds out that you've sneaked out again?"
"Of course she's angry," Wen Nongnong nodded.
Green Fairy's eyes widened, and she said nervously, "Then why did Miss..."
"Don't worry, even if he's angry, I, your young lady, have a way to appease him. Don't worry. It's a rare opportunity to get out, have some fun," Wen Nongnong said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao was speechless, because her young lady was indeed very capable and always had a way of coaxing the prince away from being angry.
After arriving in Tunzhou, Wen Nongnong took Lü Qiao for a stroll around the city.
I noticed that everyone on the street was talking about the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
It seems the Fifth Elder has done a lot of work to promote the reopening of Baihua Tower tonight.
When I arrived at the teahouse, I found many young men gathered together, loudly discussing the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
They were either excited or thrilled, and they greatly admired Baihualou.
Wen Nongnong was satisfied. It seemed that tonight, the Hundred Flowers Pavilion would be as she had imagined, packed with guests.
She and Lüqiao drank some tea and ate some snacks. After resting enough, they decided to go to the Prince Tun's Mansion first.
Now that she's in Tunzhou, she naturally has to go to the Tunwang Mansion. That way, when things come to light, she can tell Gu Linchao that she's here to see her good nephew Gu Yi, and he probably won't be so angry.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she has to get Gu Yi to be her witness first.
However, what she didn't know was that an uninvited guest had just arrived at the Prince's mansion.
The atmosphere in the lobby was tense and strained.
"...My dear nephew, please think carefully about what I just said to you. Don't rush to reply to me. I can wait." A man around fifty years old sat in the seat of honor. He spoke politely, but his words were domineering and left no room for argument.
"Lord Jue, please say no more. I have already made it very clear that it is impossible for me to cooperate with you." Gu Yi's expression was resolute, a stark contrast to his usual playful demeanor, and his tone was decisive and crisp.
