Chapter 197: It's a Nightmare

Nangong Xuanyi hid Gu Yanran's sudden change in emotions tightly and didn't let Gu Qiqiao inform the others in the Protector's Mansion.

Nangong Xuanyi knew that if Gu Yanran woke up at this moment, she should make the same decision as him.

Judging from the attitude of the descendants of the Protector Mansion, they all care for Gu Yanran, and if they know her condition, it will inevitably be another burst of people turning their backs.

When it was time for dinner, Gu Yanran hadn't woken up yet, but Lin Wanzhi had already sent someone to invite her.

Chunying blessed Nangong Xuanyi. "Second prince, the meal has been prepared, you and the princess ......"

"Nope." Nangong Xuanyi was not tactful, and refused directly. "Yan'er has been in poor spirits for the past few days, it should be because she has been asleep for more than 20 days for no reason, and now she is asleep, please go back and convey it to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and we will not go over to eat."

Chunying said. "Then later, the slave maid will let someone bring you some snacks, you first pad your stomach, and when the princess wakes up, you tell Qiqiao to go to the dining room to serve food, and there will be people waiting in the dining room."

Nangong Xuanyi responded. "Hmm."

"The slave and maid will retire first." After Chun Ying was blessed again, she withdrew from the main house.

Soon after Chunying left, Gu Yanran woke up.

Nangong Xuanyi had been sitting on the edge of the collapse with his eyes closed, and after hearing the subtle sound beside him, he looked sideways. "Awake?"

Gu Yanran slowly sat up, looking dazed. “???”

"Remember before you lost consciousness?" Nangong Xuanyi asked.

"Lost...... Hiss! As soon as Gu Yanran moved her mouth, she felt a tearing pain coming from her lower lip.

Nangong Xuanyi saw that Gu Yanran was about to raise her hand to touch the wound on her lower lip, and hurriedly grabbed her. "Don't touch it, I just drugged you."

Gu Yanran was silent for a moment, tilting her head to look at Nangong Xuanyi. "What's wrong with my lips?"

"I can't remember." Nangong Xuanyi sighed lightly and spread out her half-held palm. "Not only your lips, but also your hands."

Gu Yanran looked at the few small crescent-shaped marks in her palm in a daze. "...... what's going on?"

"On the way back to Yingyue Pavilion, you suddenly lost control of your emotions and hurt yourself, I called you a few times and didn't see you react, so I had to order your sleeping hole, Lao Li Tou checked your pulse, saying that it was caused by stimulation or fright, so you took the Qingxin Ning Shen Pill." Nangong Xuanyi roughly explained the situation.

As soon as she heard the words stimulation and fright, Gu Yanran intermittently remembered what happened not long ago.

At that time, she was introducing the distribution of the courtyard of the Huguo Mansion to Nangong Xuanyi, and after mentioning the partial courtyard, she recalled the situation of killing the lotus pond with Gu Qiqiao in her previous life.

After that, she had no memory...... It turned out that reason had been invaded by fear and hatred.

"I remember." Gu Yanran leaned weakly on the guardrail at the head of the bed.

Nangong Xuanyi was worried that a similar situation would happen in the future, so he had to ask the doubts in his heart. "Why are you afraid of water?"

Gu Yanran turned her eyes and glanced at Nangong Xuanyi, but she could guess something. "What did Tangram say?"

"She said you've suddenly become afraid of water since the beginning of this year, for no reason."

"That's right." There is no need for Gu Yanran to deny this.

Nangong Xuanyi asked another question. "You're afraid of water, but it's related to the side hospital?"

Gu Yanran couldn't help but be surprised. "How did you know it had something to do with the side hospital?"

"You had an abnormality when you mentioned the side hospital, it's easy to guess." Nangong Xuanyi shook Gu Yanran's fingertips, as if to convey some kind of firm belief. "Can you tell me why you have extreme emotions about the side hospital?"

Gu Yanran wanted to tell the truth in a flash, but when the words came to her lips, she was stopped by her own reason.

It's better not to say anything about the strange power and chaos.

If you are treated as an outlier, you are afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

So, Gu Yanran explained half-truthfully.

"A few months ago, I had a nightmare that I was pushed down the lotus pond and lost my life, and when I was out of the sky, I witnessed Qiqiao being implicated and killed because of looking for me, that scene was too real, and the pain of dying was too real, so I was afraid."

Nangong Xuanyi was convinced of Gu Yanran's statement and said. "Then don't go near the side courtyard in the future, if you want to go to a place with a water source, you must let me accompany you."

Gu Yanran's heart swelled with warmth. "Okay."

Later, Nangong Xuanyi and Gu Yanran simply had dinner.

The two maids who came from the main courtyard were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Qiqiao came to Nangong Xuanyi and Gu Yanran.

"Second prince, imperial concubine." Gu Qiqiao obediently blessed his body. "The bath is ready, will you two clean the bath together or separately?"

Gu Qiqiao's ordinary-sounding sentence made Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi's expressions become a little unnatural.

However, it is obvious that the newlyweds are thinking crookedly.

The meaning expressed by Gu Qiqiao is actually very simple, very simple.

If Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi want to clean the bath together, they will ask people to go to other courtyards to move a new bath bucket that has not been used, and the two of them will clean the bath in different rooms at the same time.

If these two people are cleaning baths separately, there is no need to let people move the bath bucket, just use Gu Yanran's original bath bucket, and then see who of the two wants to clean the bath first, and ask the dining room to continue to warm the hot water for the person who cleans the bath later.

But Gu Qiqiao's words sounded to Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi: [Do you two want to take a mandarin duck bath or take a separate bath? 】

Nangong Xuanyi didn't speak, but just looked at Gu Yanran with a very expectant gaze. "......" Mandarin duck bath! Mandarin duck bath! Mandarin duck bath ~~~

"Separate baths!" Gu Yanran made a choice with a red face.

Nangong Xuanyi held his chin and sighed. "Whoa......" knew it would be like this.

Gu Qiqiao's eyes were inexplicable. “???” What kind of situation are these two swollen?

After that, it is necessary to determine who will clean the bath first and who will clean the bath later.

"You decide." Gu Yanran lost the choice to Nangong Xuanyi.

Nangong Xuanyi bowed. "Then I'll do it first."

Gu Yanran looked at Nangong Xuanyi expressionlessly. "......" It doesn't matter who comes first or second, but shouldn't you mean to be humble?!!

"It's cold in the quilt, take a clean bath for your husband first, and then go and warm the quilt for you." Nangong Xuanyi said with a smile.

Gu Yanran stroked her forehead. "......" is ...... It's a lot of fun.

According to the decision made by Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi, Gu Qiqiao went to prepare for the bath.

When Nangong Xuanyi began to clean the bath, there was an intermittent sound of running water behind the screen not far from the bed.

Gu Yanran sat on the bed, closed her eyes, and covered her ears tightly with her hands. "......" Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people.

Ask the heavens...... Why is it still in such an embarrassing situation?!
