The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"It was my fault."

"I didn't ask anyone to protect you. If anything happened to you, I would never forgive myself."

Lin Qianqian shook her head. "I was also wrong. I shouldn't have taken it so lightly."

"I thought the capital was under the emperor's feet, and there wouldn't be such bullying of men and women. I will definitely bring guards with me when I go out in the future."

Before, Lin Qianqian could go out whenever she wanted. It was too boring to stay in the Marquis' Mansion all day, and being watched no matter what she did was really annoying.

Now that something like this has happened, she will definitely not go out unless it is necessary, and she will have to bring guards with her to protect her safety.

The two hugged each other for a long time.

Gu Huai rested his head on Lin Qianqian's shoulder, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and whispered, "Qianqian, I didn't want to study hard before, I just wanted to play."

"But, after seeing the newly crowned number one scholar Lu Ji compose a poem for you, which was even circulated among the people in the capital, I suddenly wanted to compose a poem for you, but I found that I didn't have enough literary talent. I used to waste a lot of time playing around. If I could compose a poem, I would definitely compose a poem as good as his."

"And now, I find that I am not strong enough to protect you."

"Today, three men tried to drag you into the alley. If I were there, I certainly wouldn't be able to beat three men by myself. If I had to witness you being humiliated, I would have hated myself to death."

"Qianqian, I will become strong and protect you in the future." Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's shoulders and said very seriously, her was all in his eyes.

Lin Qianqian pursed her lips.

Reaching out and hugging Gu Huai back, "Yeah."

Gu Huai turned his face and rubbed Lin Qianqian's forehead. Qianqian was so good, he would never let anyone hurt her.

After brewing this sentence in her mouth for a long time, Lin Qianqian finally said it, "Madam has always believed that it was me who prevented you from consummating your marriage with the Crown Prince's wife."

"I'm not asking you to ignore the Crown Prince's wife and just be friends..."

"Stop talking." Gu Huai interrupted Lin Qianqian directly.

His face turned pale, and he looked at her with anger in his eyes. "I will explain this matter to my mother."

"But, Qianqian. My mother probably knows better than anyone else that I don't want to, and neither does Cheng Jiayao. If both of us don't want to, how can we consummate the marriage?"

"She habitually attributes the mistakes to you and always talks about this matter. She is putting pressure on you, and at the same time, she is also putting pressure on me in disguise. You don't have to pay attention to her and just ignore her words."

"I can touch whoever I want to, and I don't want to touch anyone I don't want to. Is she going to force me and Cheng Jiayao to consummate our marriage?"

"She said that on purpose. If you persuaded me to touch her in order to prove that you are not like that, then you have fallen into her trap."

Lin Qianqian was stunned for a moment, as if something had suddenly dawned on her.

It really is.

Yu said this on purpose. She really wanted to prove that she was not like that, and even wanted Gu Huai and Cheng Jiayao to be friends.

Think about it, if Gu Huai and Cheng Jiayao become friends, and the two have a good relationship. He is attracted to Cheng Jiayao, and the two have a conflict. Considering his friend, is the chance of Gu Huai standing by her smaller?

Lin Qianqian realized it later and felt a cold chill crawling up her back from her heels, and she shivered.

It seems that it is not right to let Gu Huai and Cheng Jiayao relax.

She should do nothing and say nothing.

The next morning, before the sun came out and the dew on the leaves had not yet dried, Gu Huai went to the martial arts field in the backyard, which was rare.

The martial arts arena is a small open space with a two-meter-high plum blossom stake next to it. Knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons are placed on wooden racks next to it.

Gu Huai picked up a red cloth strip and tied it in front of his forehead, then tied it behind his head, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes.

He first picked up a spear, performed a set of martial arts on the spot, and then picked up the sword.

Lin Qianqian stood by and watched him practice martial arts attentively.

She thought of the president of the martial arts club in college. Every punch he threw was completely different from that of the new freshmen.

Their fists are very powerful, not weak at all. They hurt a lot more than ordinary people when they hit someone, as they seem to concentrate all the strength of their body into their fists, which is very magical.

Gu Huai gave her the feeling of being just a show-off, as if he had exhausted himself. The weapon in his hand kept stumbling, as if the weapon was practicing on him.

After practicing for about half an hour, Gu Huai raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He panted and watched Lin Qianqian wipe the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.

She was sweating so much that it soaked the thin handkerchief in her hand.

"What? Huai'er actually went to the martial arts arena!"

When Yu heard about this, she tightly gripped the teacup in her hand and looked at Nanny Hong in surprise.

"Yes, he was very diligent and practiced seriously for half an hour."

Yu seemed to have just reacted slowly. She paused for a moment and smiled, "That's great!"

"Huai'er was unwilling to practice martial arts before, but I didn't expect that he would practice martial arts again now, and practice for so many hours."

"Help me go and check it out. Don't let him tire himself out. Oh, and the weather is so hot, we can't let him get a heat stroke. Quickly ask the girl to go over and tell him to stop practicing."

"Stop practicing? It's hot? Why can't we practice? Is he made of paper? He can't even stand this little bit of heat!"

The Marquis's angry voice came from outside.

He was happy when he heard that Gu Huai was practicing martial arts, but he became angry instantly when he heard Yu's words.

"It's you! You, the mother! You've educated your son to be the weak, incompetent, indecisive fool he is today!"

"Now he is practicing martial arts, but you won't let him practice. You are really hurting Huai'er!"

While she was scolding, Yu was already in tears.

She cried out loudly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "No, that's not the case, my lord, that's not what I meant."

"It's true that the weather outside is too hot. After staying in the sun for a while yesterday, he felt the heat was unbearable. He hasn't practiced martial arts for a long time. I'm afraid he has really hurt his body. Heatstroke is not a pleasant feeling."

The Marquis pointed at Yu and said, "You are too kind! Don't interfere with Huai'er's martial arts training!"

"As a mother, you just need to take care of his daily life. It is not your turn to take care of his studies and martial arts."

"Yes." Yu lowered her head.

Marquis Yu came to the martial arts arena and saw from afar that Gu Huai was actually
