Because she was genuinely afraid, Qin Hanwu knew that the person who had been hiding in the shadows was her.

She had watched Qin Hanwu grow up since he was a child, and the wet nurse knew what kind of person he was better than anyone else.

He is an extremely cruel person, and anyone who offends him will not have a good ending.

The wet nurse knew that at this moment, she absolutely could not let Qin Hanwu know that the person who betrayed him was her.

Otherwise, her fate would definitely be terrible. It doesn't matter if she dies, but her husband and son are still waiting for her to save them. No matter what, she can't die too soon.

At this moment, Jiang Jingyue, led by her maid, had already circled the palace several times.

However, she still hasn't found a breakthrough, a way to leave the palace.

Meanwhile, the system also learned that Jiang Jingyue wanted to sneak out of the palace, and it couldn't help but ask her in confusion.

"Host, isn't this the perfect time? Our target is right here. Why don't you just approach him from inside the palace? Why do we need to leave?"

Jiang Jingyue must have her reasons for doing this, and when she heard the system ask her that question, she slowly opened her mouth.

“Tongzi, you don’t understand. To deal with this kind of person, you have to use the methods that this kind of person likes. To conquer this kind of wild man, you have to be soft and weak.”

Because what they hate most are women who are even more masculine than themselves; only delicate women can arouse their desire to conquer.

System: But host, what does this have to do with you secretly running away from the palace?

This is something the system can't understand; it feels that its host's current actions have nothing to do with being delicate or weak.

Jiang Jingyue shook her head. "You don't understand. The easier it is for a man to get something, the less he will cherish it. I wanted to leave the manor so that he would understand my importance."

The system knew it couldn't win an argument with its host, so it ultimately remained silent.

Anyway, it knew that leaving the Regent's Palace wasn't so easy; its host wouldn't be able to leave so easily at all.

Sure enough, after wandering around for a while, Jiang Jingyue discovered that not even a fly could get out of the Regent's Palace. Every exit was guarded by several people.

It would be impossible for a woman as weak as her to get out of here.

With no other option, Jiang Jingyue had no choice but to return the way she came.

Meanwhile, Qin Hanwu also learned of Jiang Jingyue's current location.

Having nothing else to do, he had someone bring Jiang Jingyue to his side.

When Jiang Jingyue was brought here, she was still a little confused. It wasn't until she saw the man in front of her staring at her that she couldn't help but ask him pitifully.

"Your Highness, could you... please let me go home? My parents are waiting for me to return."

"My mother just told me to come and participate, she didn't say I had to stay! Your Highness, please, let me go home!"

Looking at the pitiful little woman in front of him, with pleading in her eyes, Qin Hanwu suddenly felt that he was being unreasonable.

The young woman in front of him probably had no idea why she had suddenly been brought here!

However, since he had finally met a woman who interested him, he wouldn't let her into his life until he was sure of her true feelings.

Qin Hanwu immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Jingyue's fair hand, and with a gentle pull, Jiang Jingyue fell into his arms.

"Didn't your parents tell you that if you were chosen during the imperial concubine selection, you would have to go home with that person?"

Jiang Jingyue immediately shook her head. "Nobody told me this, but my mother said that no one would choose someone with my petite figure, so I don't need to worry."

After saying that, Jiang Jingyue looked at Qin Hanwu in front of her and asked with a pleading expression, "Can you let me go back now?"

Qin Hanwu shook his head. "No, now that you've come back with me, you're my woman. I said I won't let you leave."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue immediately put on a bitter face and looked at Qin Hanwu with some fear.

"But...but we don't know each other at all, and there's no emotional foundation between us. This kind of marriage would be very unhappy, and I don't like it."

Qin Hanwu was taken aback when he heard her say that, and looked at Bai Jingyue with some hesitation.

"Since that's the case, let's start cultivating our relationship now and try to get to know each other as soon as possible so that we can get married."

She didn't dare to look up at Qin Hanwu, so she kept her head down, showing that she was very scared.

Seeing her like this, Qin Hanwu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He felt that he must have been too fierce, which was why he had scared the little woman in front of him.

"Don't be afraid. Since I've already told you this, I certainly won't hurt you. I'll give you a month. If you still don't want to go by then, I'll let you go home. Is that alright?"

This was the first time Qin Hanwu had spoken to someone so gently; he would never speak to anyone so gently normally.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Jingyue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Then I promise you, if we really aren't a good match, will you really agree to let me go home?"

When she saw Qin Hanwu nod, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but touch her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

Jiang Jingyue awkwardly covered her stomach. She cautiously looked up at the man in front of her, then quickly lowered her head again.

Qin Hanwu almost burst out laughing when he saw Jiang Jingyue like this.

He was just afraid that the young woman in front of him was shy, so he tried his best to hold back.

"Are you hungry? Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll have it brought over right now."

Jiang Jingyue blushed with embarrassment and shook her head somewhat shyly.

"I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything."

Qin Hanwu nodded and ordered someone to prepare a meal, while he held Jiang Jingyue in his arms, showing no intention of letting her go.

Being held by him for so long made her uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but want to struggle free.

However, despite her struggles, Qin Hanwu held her tightly and wouldn't let go, which left her feeling somewhat helpless.
