The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

The Third Prince has always been emotionally stable, and it really surprised Lin Heng that he was so out of control today.

On the carriage back home, Sima Yao said nothing, his face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lin Heng didn't dare to say more.

Until Sima Yao slowly uttered a sentence.

"Lin Heng, I seem to... really have a hidden illness."

Sima Yao thought carefully and realized that he had no interest in the beautiful girls in Ji Ya Pavilion. Instead, he found them noisy. But when he saw Gu Nianzhi with a woman, he felt inexplicably irritated.

Seeing his elder brother and his concubines treating each other with respect, he would not be annoyed. Seeing Lin Heng receiving the sachet from the girl, he would not be annoyed.

Just seeing Gu Nianzhi with a woman made him so irritated that he wanted to roar.

Sima Yao felt that he seemed to have found the key to the problem, but he did not dare to admit it.

He seemed to be jealous of Gu Nianzhi.

This is definitely a disease, but he doesn't know how to treat it.

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much. Mr. Gu is smart and clever, he is also humble and polite, and he is also very interesting to talk to. Anyone who has been with him will be impressed by his charm. In addition, Mr. Gu is thin and has been applying facial cream all year round. Whether it is his body shape or skin, he is somewhat similar to a woman, which is why you are confused."

Lin Heng leaned close to Sima Yao's cheek and sniffed: "Third Prince, before you went to bed yesterday, did you apply the facial cream that Mr. Gu gave you?"

Sima Yao was a little embarrassed about secretly applying facial cream. He blushed and asked, "How did you know?"

"Although Mr. Gu chose the lightest scented facial cream as a gift, this is after all a cosmetic that women often use. It's your first time to apply it, Third Prince. The scent of the cream lingers around your nose, which will inevitably make you distracted in your dream and mistake Mr. Gu for a woman."

Lin Heng's interpretation made Sima Yao feel more relieved.

Since childhood, Sima Yao has had no resistance to smart people, regardless of gender.

Gu Nianzhi was extremely smart, and more importantly, he could even deduce the truth about the walnut biscuit incident when he was six years old.

There has never been a person in this world who knows himself so well.

In order to survive in the inner court of the palace, he had been hiding his edge, especially after his mother was forced to leave the palace, he showed himself to others in an ordinary and dull appearance. Everyone only knew that he was simple-minded and foolishly followed the orders of the crown prince. He could not even understand the basic situation in the court. The Second Prince and his party had never even thought of trying to win him over...

But this Mr. Gu, whose origins were unknown, saw through his disguise at a glance, making Sima Yao feel for the first time that he had met a confidant.

"Yes, this is just admiration and mutual respect." Sima Yao convinced himself.

---

There was news from the palace.

The emperor really issued an imperial decree, and the prince would personally go to Qiangyi State to submit the marriage edict and marry the eldest princess, Princess Seya.

The time is set after January.

But, instead of leaving after a month, they returned to the palace to get married after a month.

Gu Nianzhi always remembered what was written in the original book, that the prince's wedding procession left the capital one month after the imperial edict was issued. Now, including the round trip, the time has been advanced by nearly half a month. Where did this variable come from?

"Who is the general who will welcome the bride?" Gu Nianzhi asked.

"Shu Huaiyuan." Lin Heng replied.

In the original book, Shu Huaiyuan has been trying to restrain his edge. In the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, especially the second prince and his party, he is just a useless military officer who enjoys the benefits of his ancestors. He has no practical experience and has not read many military books.

The Second Prince's party originally planned to make Shu Huaiyuan the General of the Wedding, and let the "incompetent" Shu Huaiyuan die on the way to the wedding, eradicating all the bloodline of the General of the Cavalry. But at the last critical moment of deciding on the candidate, Liu Taifu revealed to the Second Prince's party that the Crown Prince was going to use Shu Huaiyuan, which made them wary of Shu Huaiyuan's ability and delayed the decision on the candidate of the General of the Wedding.

According to the book, it took a month from the issuance of the imperial edict to the departure. Now, because Gu Nianzhi replaced Tutor Liu's letter of accusation, the Second Prince's party did not know the relationship between the Crown Prince and Shu Huaiyuan, and the candidate for the general to welcome the bride was directly determined, so the departure time was greatly advanced.

In the original book, the general who welcomes the bride is the nephew of the queen. It was he who turned against the queen and cooperated with the Zinan assassins who disguised themselves as Qiang people to kill the prince and everyone around him. Now the general who welcomes the bride is replaced by the young general Shu Huaiyuan. The second prince's party has planned not only to kill the prince's party, but also to kill all the descendants of their previous political enemy, the General of the Cavalry.

Although his intentions were even more sinister, for the prince, this gave him a glimmer of hope. At least, Shu Huaiyuan was the third prince's man, and at least he would not turn against him at the critical moment.

"Sir, you can indeed predict the future." Sima Yao bowed and said, "I'm sorry for offending you before. I hope you can forgive me."

Even though the two had been at odds with each other since this morning, they had to put their emotions aside when faced with important court events.

Gu Nianzhi's prediction that "an imperial decree will be issued within three days" has become a reality, which is enough to prove that Gu Nianzhi's "foresight" was not just a hoax.

"How good or bad will this trip be for the Crown Prince? Please give me some advice, sir." Lin Heng said. They only knew that the Second Prince and his party must have cheated in this matter, but they didn't know how the other party would do it.

"Since you already know that this trip is dangerous, why bother asking me?" Gu Nianzhi's stomach was cramping, making her feel a little overwhelmed. Her menstrual migraine also came at this time. She felt that she could not think at all. In addition, there were changes in the selection of the general who would welcome the bride. Gu Nianzhi did not dare to speak rashly. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would lead to huge changes.

At this moment, she just wanted to end the current conversation as soon as possible and go back to her room to lie down.

It is one thing to battle with others online and be dissatisfied with the direction of the original book's story, but it is another thing to travel back to that place and become a character in the book.

The top priority now is to maintain the settings of the original book as much as possible so as not to affect one's travel back to reality.

The best option is to be careful with your words and let the characters in the book move forward step by step according to the plot.

However, what Gu Nianzhi didn't know was that from the moment she traveled into the book, her appearance had already produced a butterfly effect, and the world in the book had begun to undergo tremendous changes.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any concerns that make you unwilling to talk more?" Sima Yao saw Gu Nianzhi's hesitation.

"The road ahead is uncertain. We need to be careful and cautious. We can only take one step at a time." Gu Nianzhi answered perfunctorily while enduring the stomachache.
