Grandma Li looked at this scene and did not dare to step forward to stop her. She quickly turned back to Princess Zhen's courtyard and told the truth about the situation just now.
"Okay, it seems that now Zitan has learned to disobey me!"
Princess Zhen clenched the cup in her hand, but quickly suppressed the anger in her eyes. She believed that Gu Beichen would give her a good explanation.
Gu Beichen's sudden move made An Ruowan stunned in place. It wasn't until she left the Buddhist hall that she struggled to stop, but she didn't expect Gu Beichen to pick her up and move faster.
Feeling her feet in the air, An Ruowan subconsciously stretched out her hands to wrap around Gu Beichen's neck. Before she could speak, she caught a glimpse of the slightly raised corners of Gu Beichen's mouth.
While An Ruowan was stunned, the two of them had returned to the courtyard, but Gu Beichen still refused to let go.
"You just took me away like this, have you ever thought about how my mother and concubine would explain it?"
After hearing this, Gu Beichen put the person on the bed and said, "You don't have to worry, I will explain it to my mother and concubine."
Before An Ruowan could speak, Gu Beichen walked out. Not long after, Qingfeng brought a lot of food.
Smelling the aroma that hit her nostrils, An Ruowan put all her worries behind her and decided to fill her stomach first.
Gu Beichen went to Princess Zhen's courtyard and felt the depression in the room as soon as he entered.
"I've met my mother-in-law."
Only then did Princess Zhen raise her head, with obvious anger in her eyes.
"You still know that I am your mother-in-law!"
"My mother and concubine are joking, so my son and I will understand."
Gu Beichen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and seemed not to notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.
Seeing that Gu Beichen was still reluctant to speak, Princess Zhen placed the cup in her hand heavily on the table, "Why did you come here today?"
"The princess is not feeling well. I have specially invited the doctor to go there. I came here to inform my mother and concubine."
As soon as the words fell, Princess Zhen heard a cold snort in her ears, "She is not feeling well. I look at her body and she looks very good!"
At this time, Gu Beichen raised his head and looked in front of him, "If the mother-in-law insists on saying this, I may understand that the mother-in-law is deliberately targeting her?"
Concubine Zhen looked in disbelief and heard Gu Beichen continue speaking before she could speak.
"Maybe it's because my son doesn't like to interfere in the affairs in the backyard, so my mother and concubine forgot about it."
For some reason, Princess Zhen suddenly realized that she could not let Gu Beichen continue talking.
"okay."
But Princess Zhen was not able to shut up Gu Beichen. Instead, she met his eyes head-on.
Only then did Princess Zhen realize that Gu Beichen's eyes no longer had the same expression as in the past, but were a little calmer. This look made her feel a pain in her heart.
"If I carry a big sedan chair to marry Princess Rong who comes in later, if my mother and concubine are dissatisfied in any way, I can come to my son and vent all my anger on her, which will only make me look down on her."
Princess Zhen didn't understand how Gu Beichen could say such cold words, so she blamed An Ruowan for everything.
"What did she tell you? I already know that she is not a worry-free person. I just punished her by kneeling in the Buddhist hall. She is slandering me in front of you like this?"
Princess Zhen looked aggrieved, but when she mentioned An Ruowan, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"It seems that the mother-in-law still doesn't understand what I mean."
Gu Beichen took half a step forward, but the aura around him was suddenly released. Concubine Zhen's breath was stagnant, and her eyes were filled with strangeness, as if someone was holding her throat, leaving her speechless for a long time. .
"What happened today was done by Erchen and had nothing to do with Ruowan. She didn't say anything to Erchen, but everything my mother and concubine did was seen by Erchen."
Seeing the look in Gu Beichen's eyes, Princess Zhen couldn't help but slump her legs and sit on the chair.
"I came to my concubine today just so that this kind of thing would never happen again in the future. I wonder if my concubine understands?"
Hearing the threat in Gu Beichen's words, Princess Zhen tightly held the armrest in her hand. She did not expect that Gu Beichen would not hesitate to break up with her for An Ruowan.
"Zitan, have you thought about it?"
Hearing this, Gu Beichen's face was full of determination, "Of course, I wonder if mother and concubine still have any doubts?"
Princess Zhen's eyes fell on him, and she spoke slowly after a long time, "Okay, this is Zitan's choice. I will remember it. I hope Zitan will not regret it in the future."
"Thank you, concubine, for the advice. I will remember it in my heart."
Gu Beichen leaned towards Concubine Zhen before retreating.
Seeing Gu Beichen's figure disappear, a trace of disappointment flashed across Concubine Zhen's face. She never thought that the child she raised would one day stand opposite her.
"Empress..."
Nanny Li on the side stepped forward quickly. When she saw the look on Concubine Zhen's face, she unconsciously lowered her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say to make Concubine Zhen feel better.
"I want to be alone for a while."
Princess Zhen heard the footsteps beside her ears and waved her hand to make all the servants in the room retreat.
After Gu Beichen left the courtyard of Princess Zhen, he raised his eyes and looked in front of him. He didn't want to do this, but Princess Zhen went too far every time. If he continued to sit idly by, Prince Rong's palace would be in chaos.
After Gu Beichen returned, An Ruowan had filled her stomach, but she didn't know what was going on when Gu Beichen went to look for Princess Zhen, so she raised her eyes and looked in front of her without saying anything.
"As for the mother and concubine, I have already agreed that this matter will end here. You don't have to take this matter to heart."
Hearing this, An Ruowan was actually more curious about what Gu Beichen and Princess Zhen said, but it seemed like the wrong time to ask this question at this moment, so she could only hide the confusion in her eyes for the time being.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
An Ruowan saluted Gu Beichen and Fu Shen and then wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, Gu Beichen held her wrist.
"This king has helped you so much, don't you have any expression?"
An Ruowan's eyes flashed with surprise. This was the first time she heard such words from Gu Beichen's mouth.
Just when she was stunned, Gu Beichen picked her up without any explanation, and then strode towards the bed.
When An Ruowan came to her senses, she was already on the bed. This sudden change made her tense up unconsciously.
Seeing this, Gu Beichen didn't pay attention. Instead, he lay on the bed fully clothed, stretched out his arms to hold An Ruowan in his arms, and then slowly closed his eyes.
An Ruowan subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she didn't want to hear Gu Beichen's voice in her ears.
"Don't move. I'm tired. Just sleep like this for a while."
The sound made An Ruowan subconsciously stop her movements. She was relieved when she saw that Gu Beichen made no other movements.
Even this position was still uncomfortable for her, but looking at Gu Beichen's uncomfortable look, she finally stopped moving and just stared quietly in front of her.
The way Gu Beichen closed his eyes was completely different from usual. There was a bit of an intimidating coldness about his body, but he looked much more approachable.
After realizing this, An Ruowan completely relaxed and fell asleep in a short time.
