"If we don't see each other in the future, and you need to find me, go to Granny Gui in the Imperial Garden. You can also go to her if you encounter any trouble." Yinreng earnestly instructed. He had thought it through. Although Consort Yi was now thriving in the palace, most of her influence was still within the palace, and she had fewer connections outside the palace. However, he could make up for that deficiency.

Whether she was in the palace or outside, Yinreng couldn't leave without someone watching over her, so he arranged everything for her well in advance, even putting this matter before expressing his feelings to Jingrou.

The most important thing is to keep her safe and sound. As for other things, we can talk about them in detail later.

"Also, if you encounter anything particularly troublesome that you can't handle, go and ask your elder brother for help," Yinreng continued. This matter was originally the work of two people, and although he ultimately bore the burden alone, his elder brother was a man of loyalty and refused to give up. In the end, he instructed Yinreng to take care of the Jingpo tribe, which temporarily calmed him down…

He's not stupid. If both of them went to the military camp to retrieve this information, then there might not have been any involvement between them at all!

But if my elder brother stays in the palace, at least there's hope and a glimmer of hope. He's also capable and would be better able to push forward the thing we both want to achieve…

Jingrou opened her mouth, but what she really wanted to say was that she would definitely have fewer opportunities to come to the palace in the future. In that case, with her maternal grandfather protecting her outside, she would definitely not encounter any problems.

Therefore, Yinreng was really worrying unnecessarily!

But seeing his furrowed brows and worried expression, Jingrou stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I will definitely follow your instructions. If anything happens, I will go to the person you told me to ask."

Yinreng nodded, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

“I won’t be back for too long. I’ll come back once Khan has finished this matter and those people have given up.”

At that moment, he reached into his bag and finally retrieved the jade pendant, which he had warmed from holding it in his hand. Before he could even say anything, his ears and neck had already begun to turn slightly red…

Jingrou asked a question mark.

"This is a jade pendant I made, as a keepsake for you..." Yinreng said shyly.

I originally wanted to just say it directly, but now opening my mouth seems so difficult, even though I wasn't usually a particularly shy or hesitant person...

Normally, Jingrou would have just thought it was a small gift and accepted it without hesitation—although the jade pendant was very valuable and looked to be of excellent quality, Yinreng had given her quite a few valuable things before, so she wouldn't have thought much of it. After all, he was the Crown Prince, and it was enough to leave her speechless with just a casual gesture.

But she's not the same person she used to be. She just received some guidance from the system last night, not to mention the many things she'd been overthinking. So seeing his actions now gave her a bit of a premonition.

"Yinreng." She looked up, her eyes filled with doubt and hidden surprise.

Under such gazes, Yinreng felt he had nowhere to hide, yet courage also arose out of nowhere.
