Xiao Jingheng was also a little surprised. After listening to Zhang Wu's words this morning, he was a little hesitant. He guessed that Gu Qinghe was also reborn, but he didn't know when she would come back.

Earlier today, when Xiao Jingheng returned from the court session at Xuanzheng Palace, he saw Zhang Wu waiting at the palace gate.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Wu bowed.

"Get up. Didn't I ask you to stay by Miss Gu San's side and protect her safety?" Xiao Jingheng asked.

"Your Highness, I have been following Miss Gu San. Yesterday, I went to Xiangguo Temple and ran into a few of the brothers in the team. During our conversation, I learned that you had ordered the erection of a longevity tablet. I didn't think much of it at first, but then Miss Gu San also asked the abbot to erect a longevity tablet, and she even cried. I thought it was a coincidence, so I came back to report this to Your Highness."

Xiao Jingheng was originally sitting upright in an armchair, methodically fiddling with the ring on his finger. However, when he heard that Gu Qinghe had also placed a longevity card, his hand suddenly clenched, "Anything else?"

"I didn't get close to see it, please forgive me, Your Highness." Zhang Wu looked at the prince in confusion. His reaction was so big that he thought it was a coincidence. He was afraid of being scolded later, so he ran back to report it.

Xiao Jingheng leaned back in the armchair, feeling a little short of breath, his mind was in a mess, and he was a little scared. He raised his hand and tugged at his clothes before saying, "Zhang Wu, go back and protect her."

"Yes, I resign from my humble position."

Han Desheng stood aside, not daring to speak. He had been listening the whole time. He knew in his heart that the longevity tablets that the Crown Prince and Miss Gu San had both set up were probably for someone they knew in common. But when did the two of them develop such a deep connection?

But the prince looked like he was afraid. What was he afraid of?

Jamel Xiao had only one thought: when did she come back? After their miscarriage? And how long after that?

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Jingheng was now not only afraid but also felt guilty and ashamed. His left chest was very sore and he just wanted to see her quickly and ask her clearly.

"Han Desheng, prepare the horses. I want to go to Xiangguo Temple." Xiao Jingheng changed his previous helpless look and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes, I'll ask someone to arrange it right away." Han Desheng retreated quickly.

Xiao Jingheng originally wanted to take advantage of this time to write a few words to calm his mind, but when he picked up the pen, he only wanted to write cursive script and his mind could not calm down at all.

He paced around the study, his mind and heart filled with thoughts of who Gu Qinghe had erected the immortality tablet for? Was it the unborn child?

After all, Gu Qinghe's family is now complete, so there's no need for a longevity tablet. The only possibility is the child from the previous life who never saw the world...

So, did she come back after becoming the Empress Dowager?

In that case, it's not bad, I can enjoy a few years of happiness...

However, he hoped that she would come back before anything happened to the child.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince—" Han Desheng's voice interrupted Xiao Jingheng's thoughts.

"Let's go." Xiao Jingheng walked out of the East Palace hall quickly, and then he started to gallop. Poor Han Desheng, the East Palace steward who was considered to be living a life of luxury, almost had his buttocks broken into five or six pieces. He secretly thought that looking at the prince's enthusiasm for Miss Gu San, it was probably not just love at first sight, but more like the prince owed Miss Gu San in his previous life.

Finally, when the horse was about to be too tired to run, we saw the gate of Xiangguo Temple.

Xiao Jingheng dismounted and walked straight to the Hall of Rebirth where the tablets of longevity were enshrined. He casually ordered, "Tell the abbot that I am in the Hall of Rebirth."

"Yes." Han Desheng responded and quickly sent someone to call the abbot.

Just after giving the order, he saw the prince holding a girl in his arms. Their eyes met. The girl was not shy at all, and the boy had a curious look on his face. There was no love story like in the novels at all.

Han Desheng was a little stunned. What kind of woman could be hugged by a handsome man like the prince and still have no expression on her face?

"Master, are you okay?" Han Desheng looked at the prince who was tidying up his clothes and hurried forward.

"It's okay." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand, then looked at Gu Qinghe and coughed lightly: "You are not hurt, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine. Since Your Highness is fine, I'll take my leave first." After Gu Qinghe finished speaking, she bowed and was about to leave.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe in front of him. She was quite different from the last few times he had seen her. At this moment, she was dressed in white, with a plain jade hairpin on her head and no earrings. She was like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration. However, the first thing that came to his mind was not how beautiful she was, but that she was like a fairy flying to the moon, as if he could hardly catch her even if he stretched out his hand.

This is what he thought and did. He stretched out his hand, and contrary to his imagination, he grabbed a smooth and tender hand.

fortunately……

Gu Qinghe had never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been very particular about etiquette and rules, would actually do such an inappropriate thing. It was really abnormal for him to grab the hand of a woman he didn't know in broad daylight.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself." Gu Qinghe pulled his hand back forcefully.

Xiao Jingheng's hand was suspended in the air, and then he twisted his fingers before putting it behind his back and chuckled, "Miss Gu San came here to set up a longevity card?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe stopped wiping his right hand with his left hand, then continued wiping without replying.

"Since your master is unwilling to answer, then you answer it." Xiao Jingheng pointed to one of the girls who was smart and quick-witted based on his impression. He was quite familiar with the two girls around Gu Qinghe. After all, they were the favorites of the Queen.

Wangchun pointed at herself in surprise. When she saw the man just now, she just felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was. She just thought he was another playboy. Just when she was about to call for help to save the girl, the man started talking to the girl.

Wangchun then remembered that this was the culprit, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had caused misunderstandings at the girl's coming-of-age ceremony and disrupted the relationship between the Lu family and the girl.

Forget it, I can’t afford to offend…

"In reply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the young lady did bring us here to set up a longevity tablet. The young lady is kind-hearted and set up a longevity tablet for me and Yingchun's relatives, and also lit an eternal lamp." Wangchun said.

Xiao Jingheng felt a little relieved when he saw that the little girl didn't seem to be lying.

"Your Highness, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my people and leave first." Gu Qinghe said calmly.

She wondered how Xiao Jingheng, a man who was busy marrying his cousin to a concubine even after his wife had a miscarriage, could remember that he had a child with the queen? Even if he saw the tablet, he probably wouldn't have a single trace of it in his mind.
