Gu Beichen entered Princess Zhen's room. Not long after, some servants heard the sound of something falling to the ground. Everyone lowered their eyes, fearing that it would harm themselves.
"It seems that the new princess really has a lot of skills, and she can actually make the prince protect her like this."
"What do you know? The prince is trying to establish authority for the princess. Otherwise, the concubine will always have the final say in our mansion."
"Anyway, the concubine is also an elder..."
Just as she was talking, the maid looked around as if she suddenly remembered something.
"But let me tell you, our princess is someone who can even deny her biological father. How could she take the concubine in her eyes?"
Several people chattered away from the outside of the courtyard, but when they were in the courtyard, they did not dare to speak casually.
"Zitan, do you really want to do this to me?"
Today, Princess Zhen was waiting to set some rules for An Ruowan. Not to mention that An Ruowan was not able to show up at such a late hour, but now Gu Beichen was the only one here. How could Princess Zhen accept this!
Gu Beichen said with a nonchalant expression, "Mother, if you were tired last night and couldn't get up today, you don't have to wait any longer."
Even though Gu Beichen knew very well that this was against the rules, he still said it for An Ruowan.
Seeing the anger on Princess Zhen's face, Gu Beichen leaned over slightly, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Gu Beichen's back in front of her, Princess Zhen understood that this was Gu Beichen's way of expressing dissatisfaction with herself, because she had not agreed when he proposed to marry An Ruowan.
"Zitan, now that I have become Princess Rong, do you really want to do this?"
There was a hint of sadness in Princess Zhen's voice. Seeing that Gu Beichen still couldn't stop, Princess Zhen added, "Are you sure you can always protect her?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Beichen's departure really stopped, but he still did not look back.
"If my concubine hurts even a hair on Ruowan's head, I will definitely seek justice for her!"
After the words fell, Gu Beichen said nothing more and soon disappeared.
Seeing this, Princess Zhen immediately succumbed to her legs and sat down. She couldn't believe that Gu Beichen would really treat her like this.
Normally, Ping Ning would be there to comfort her when things like this happen, but now that Ping Ning is still lying on the bed, how should he comfort her?
Thinking of Ping Ning still lying unconscious on the bed, Princess Zhen felt her heart twisting. She said nothing, just turned around and went to Ping Ning's room.
The person on the bed still closed her eyes tightly, but as long as Concubine Zhen thought of Ping Ning's injuries, she would remember all of it on An Ruowan, and she would definitely seek justice for Ping Ning!
Although the idea of a substitute marriage that day was Ping Ning's, she was also involved. Now that Ping Ning was punished in public, wasn't it a slap in her face?
Thinking of this, Princess Zhen's eyes became darker.
After Gu Beichen left the courtyard of Concubine Zhen, he recalled Concubine Zhen's words in his ears. Indeed, he could not guarantee that he could always protect An Ruowan, otherwise what happened yesterday would not have happened!
If An Ruowan hadn't reacted quickly enough yesterday, he would have been severely humiliated by Princess Zhen. Compared with what happened today, Gu Beichen no longer struggled.
When Gu Beichen returned to the courtyard, he raised his hand, and a green figure in the darkness appeared in front of him.
"From now on, you will follow the princess every step of the way to protect her safety. Don't reveal your identity until absolutely necessary."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingying understood what he meant and quickly disappeared after responding.
When Gu Beichen entered the courtyard, Caihuan, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly greeted her. Although An Ruowan had told her not to let anyone disturb her sleep, Caihuan didn't know for a moment who Gu Beichen was. Doesn't count as a bystander.
After all, this is Prince Rong's palace, and the person in front of him is Prince Rong.
At the moment when Cai Huan hesitated, Gu Beichen had already entered the room. Now, Cai Huan didn't need to stop him and simply left.
The person on the bed slept soundly, but Gu Beichen still wasn't sure what happened last night. After thinking about it, he covered An Ruowan with the quilt before turning around and going to the study.
"Qingfeng."
After the words fell, a figure appeared in front of his eyes. Gu Beichen asked what happened last night, but Qingfeng said that they did not dare to look more at this night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
Upon hearing this, Gu Beichen coughed twice in embarrassment, and then waved his hand to make Qingfeng retreat.
"That's all, wait until Ruo Wan wakes up before asking her."
Picking up the book in front of him, Gu Beichen forgot about the matter for the time being.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that An Ruowan woke up.
Hearing the noise coming from the house, Caihuan hurriedly went up to greet her. After seeing An Ruowan waking up, she quickly brought in the prepared basin.
"Miss, no, princess, you need to eat."
Caihuan couldn't change her tune for a while, but she didn't dare to let others hear this.
An Ruowan just felt a little dizzy now, so she just responded lightly, closed her eyes again, and waited until Caihuan waited for her to wash up before she left again.
When Gu Beichen learned that An Ruowan had woken up, he started to walk back into the house.
When Caihuan came back with the food, she unexpectedly bumped into Gu Beichen on the road. She felt a little embarrassed again, and she quickly leaned over to salute.
When Gu Beichen saw what Caihuan was holding, he raised his hand and excused her.
"Princess, are you hungry?"
The two of them walked in one after another. Gu Beichen smelled the aroma of the food and subconsciously asked.
Caihuan didn't dare to talk nonsense, she just responded and just wanted to see her young lady as soon as possible, otherwise she would be almost nervous to death.
Fortunately, this journey didn't take long, and soon Caihuan saw the savior. She quickly put the food on the table and waited behind An Ruowan.
Gu Beichen sat down opposite An Ruowan, as if he had never seen An Ruowan, and made An Ruowan feel like he had returned to his own home.
But in an instant, An Ruowan realized that this was indeed Gu Beichen's home.
When this idea came up, An Ruowan was amused by herself, and she really laughed at this time.
This smile immediately made Gu Beichen look up and asked, "The princess seems to be in a good mood today?"
Hearing this, An Ruowan suppressed the smile on her face a little. After all, Gu Beichen had just saved her from a big trouble today.
"Exactly, with the prince protecting me in Prince Rong's palace, won't my life in the future be very easy?"
After the words fell, An Ruowan didn't forget to smile at Gu Beichen, and then she blocked Gu Beichen's mouth.
After the two of them had breakfast, An Ruowan looked at the other side seriously.
