"So the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are late today because of this matter?" Gu Wen interrupted her, somewhat incredulous.

Pei Yan's eyes flashed with pain: "Otherwise, I know you were injured and almost lost your life, how could I be indifferent."

Gu Wen shook his head and took a few steps back: "You also said that because you came to see me without permission, I almost lost my life. Why do you want to call me out again?"

His voice was cold, like the thin ice hitting each other in an ice pond, cold and distant.

Pei Yan felt even more pain in her heart: "What do you mean? Now you don't even want to see me?"

"Yes!"

Gu Wen almost blurted out: "Pei Yan, you are now the Crown Princess. It is impossible for you and me to be together. Besides..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind. He looked straight into Pei Yan's eyes and said word by word, "I already have someone I like. You live your life and I live mine. Let's not dwell on the mistakes of the past and continue to make mistakes!"

"What did you say?"

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, her heart suddenly tightened, she stared at Gu Wen without blinking, and murmured in disbelief: "You already have someone you like?"

"Yes," Gu Wen said firmly, "I already have someone I like, so please respect yourself, Princess."

When he said this, there was an unbreakable tenderness in his eyes, but that tenderness was not directed towards Pei Yan, but towards the bright and gorgeous color in the corridor that was brighter than the snow.

Pei Yan saw it clearly, her body was shaking, tears welled up in her eyes, she choked and said, "You and I have been childhood sweethearts, and we have been engaged since we were young. Ever since I can remember, I have always regarded you as my brother and my future husband.

You didn't want to see me, you rejected me, I just thought it was a false act to protect me, but now you say everything in the past was a mistake, and you already have someone you like? "

There was a glimmer of malice in her eyes: "Is it the third young lady of the Shangshu Mansion?!"

Ever since he sat down, his eyes have been on the third young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and he couldn't move them away. It must be her!

Without waiting for Gu Wen's answer, she turned around and was about to rush out of the rockery, but was grabbed by Gu Wen: "What are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?!" Pei Yan looked back, but was suddenly stunned.

The man who was always gentle and elegant in her memory was seen in his unprecedented nervousness and out-of-control state without any concealment.

Pei Yan's heart ached again, and she felt desperate: "I'm going to ask her, there are so many men in the world, why did she have to snatch you from me!"

"You are crazy!"

Gu Wen's dark eyes at this moment were as dark as the night sky filled with haze, extremely cold and dark: "Do you know what your status is now? You are the Crown Princess, you represent the face of the royal family, your father and brother, and your family. Are you going to throw all of these away for the sake of love and disregard everything?!"

Pei Yan seemed to have come back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment, her feet went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. She pulled the corners of her mouth in a lost and dazed manner and murmured, "Yes, I am the Crown Princess, I am the Crown Princess..."

She smiled and shed tears: "I am not worthy, it's me who is not worthy... Brother Wen, it's not you who has changed, but me..."

Gu Wen looked at her distressedly and said earnestly, "Let it go, Pei Yan, don't be stubborn anymore. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truly loves you and cares for you. Otherwise, with his identity and status, how could he have only had you in the entire Eastern Palace for so long and never taken in concubines? How could he still be so warm to you in the face of your indifference?

Pei Yan, I don't want you to miss someone who truly loves you."

"Also," Gu Wen stood still, the extreme coldness and darkness in his dark eyes faded away, and sparks of light flickered and floated, "Miss Lin has no feelings for me, it is me who loves her unilaterally, please don't embarrass her, Princess."

After saying this, Gu Wen was about to leave, but after turning around, he paused.

Not far away, Jiang Hong was standing in the snow, looking at him calmly.

Gu Wen pursed his lips and was about to say something, but Jiang Hong waved his hand tiredly, his voice a little hoarse: "Go away."

Gu Wen nodded, sighed, and left calmly.

Jiang Hong walked step by step to Pei Yan. He didn't know how long he had been standing in the snow. The ends of his hair were wet with the melted snow, and there was even a layer of unmelted snow on his shoulders.

He squatted down, put his hands on Pei Yan's shoulders, and helped her up from the snow: "The ground is cold, get up."

Pei Yan stood up in a daze. When her sad eyes fell on Jiang Hong, they instantly turned into anger. She pushed Jiang Hong away and said, "Get out of here! Don't touch me!

It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I be trapped in this palace with high walls and green tiles like a living dead!

If it weren't for you, I would have married Brother Wen a long time ago. How could we have ended up like this today! "

She was heartbroken and yelled at Jiang Hong heartbreakingly.

At this moment, she wanted to kill the man in front of her: "Why, you knew I was engaged, why did you force me to give myself to you..."

Jiang Hong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot. He approached Pei Yan and gritted his teeth, "Enough, stop talking. Do you know what will happen if others hear it?"

"The end? What end? All of you are only using the royal family and the reputation of your family to force me!"

"I won't force you. Let's go back to the East Palace. You can scold me or beat me however you want. I'll accept it!"

Except for the night when they woke up after their first lovemaking, Jiang Hong had never seen such a desperate look on her face. The pain and fear also tortured him deeply, making him almost collapse.

He took a deep breath and took a few steps forward: "Come here, let's go back."

"Don't come here!"

Pei Yan suddenly pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair and pointed it at her throat: "If you dare to come over, I will die in front of you!"
