Yan Huaijing stroked her temples. âThen Iâll go first. Rest early.â
Han Jingshu stopped him. âYour Highness⦠are you coming over tonight?â
Yan Huaijing was stunned. After a moment, he said in a low voice, âFatherâs health isnât good. Iâll go and attend to his illness. I donât know how late Iâll be back. Thereâs no need to wait for me.â
Han Jingshu smiled. âOkay.â With that, she bowed. âGoodbye, Your Highness.â
Yan Huaijing quickly walked into the night. Han Jingshu stared at his back in a daze until he completely disappeared into the night.
âPrincess Consort, His Highness has left. Letâs go back to the courtyard too. The wind is strong. Be careful not to catch a cold, â the maidservant reminded softly.
Han Jingshu sighed faintly. âGo back first. Iâll take a walk.â
âThen these thingsâ¦â The maidservant really did not understand why the Princess Consort asked her to deliberately carry these things to the Prince.
âTake it back to the courtyard.â Han Jingshu smiled bitterly.
Visiting Shangguan Yan? Her father said that Prince Yan and Xiao Zhenting would definitely turn against each other for a woman? She was making it up. Her father was the current Prime Minister. How could he make up stories about
Xiao Zhenting and Prince Yan behind their backs?
She said it for him because she wanted to see his reaction.
Did the excuse of turning against each other for a woman make him feel familiar? If he didnât have such a plan in his heart, he would naturally think that she was talking nonsense. He felt that it made sense, perhaps he had a similar idea in his heart.
There was actually no irreconcilable hatred between him and Yan Jiuchao. It was impossible for Prince Yan and Yan Jiuchao to threaten his throne. She had carefully paid attention to it. Prince Yan had returned to the Capital for so long, but he had never visited His Majesty. Did this look like he wanted the throne?
As long as he looked at the overall situation, he would not deliberately rope in Xiao Zhenting, let alone insist on becoming enemies with Yan Jiuchao. The reason why he did this was not for the throne, but for that woman.
âHe still hasnât let go of herâ¦â Han Jingshu murmured in a daze.
âPrincess Consort, what are you talking about?â The maidservant did not hear her clearly.
Han Jingshu held her handkerchief and waved her hand. âNothing. Go back to the courtyard. Iâll walk around. Donât follow me.â
The maidservant wanted to say something but hesitated, but she did not dare to disobey Han Jingshuâs order. She could only bow to Han Jingshuâs back and leave with the things in her arms.
Han Jingshu walked in the Prince Jing Manor. The Prince Jing Manor was the original Second Prince Manor. After the wedding, the Emperor gave them the manor next door. She broke through the walls of the two manors and built a long corridor.
Someone dug a fish pond under the corridor and fed it colorful koi. She took some fish food and went to the corridor.
She was in a daze as she fed her. She accidentally stepped on her skirt and fell forward. Her body pounced out of the corridor and just as she was about to fall into the water, a tall figure descended from the sky and caught her with both hands. His toes swept across the water and he jumped up, bringing her back to the corridor.
The person put her down and took a step back. He cupped his hands. âPrincess
Consort. â
The fish food in her hand was all spilled, leaving only an empty plate. Han
Jingshu panted in shock and said in a trembling voice, âGuard Jun.â
Jun Changâan glanced at her and said, âWhy did the Princess Consort commit suicide?â
Han Jingshu was stunned and hurriedly shook her head. âI didnât! I accidentally fell!â Jun Changâan did not believe her. Han Jingshu took a step forward and looked fixedly at Jun Changâan. âItâs true. Iâm living well. Iâve never thought of committing suicide.â
âThatâs good.â Jun Changâan was Yan Huaijingâs guard and was only responsible for Yan Huaijingâs safety. He saved her because she was Yan Huaijingâs Princess Consort. Yan Huaijing still needed her and the Prime Minister Manor behind her. Whether she really fell or not was not within Jun Changâanâs consideration.
Jun Changâan turned to leave.
Han Jingshu said, âAre you going to tell His Highness?â
Jun Changâan did not say anything.
Han Jingshu said pleadingly, âCan you not tell him? I know youâre his men, but⦠Iâm really fine. I donât want him to misunderstand anything.â
Jun Changâan frowned and said, âWhat does the Princess Consort think His
Highness will misunderstand?â
Han Jingshu lowered her head. âMisunderstand that⦠I think he still has feelings for that woman. I canât accept it, so I committed suicide. Or perhaps, I used suicide to scare him.â
Han Jingshuâs intelligence and straightforwardness were beyond Jun Changâanâs expectations. Jun Changâan looked at her deeply. âYouâre the only woman in His Highnessâs backyard. You shouldnât be worried about these things..â
