Therefore, Qin Hanwu had to suppress the smile that had already spread across his face.

"You mean you came here and then got lost, is that what you mean?"

Jiang Jingyue nodded without hesitation; she had indeed gotten lost after arriving here.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Jingyue opened her arms to Qin Hanwu in front of her and gestured to him with her eyes.

However, he was just a roughneck, how could he possibly understand what Jiang Jingyue meant?

He looked at Jiang Jingyue, somewhat bewildered, "Xiaoyue, did you really ask me to pull you?"

That's what Jiang Jingyue meant; otherwise, what else could it mean?

"Yes! Your Highness, could you please give me a hand? I've been sleeping for too long, and my neck is a little numb."

Without hesitation, Qin Hanwu immediately reached out and pulled the little woman in front of him up. As soon as he pulled her up, Jiang Jingyue lost her balance and fell onto him.

Qin Hanwu didn't push her away; instead, he immediately hugged Jiang Jingyue.

"Your Highness, I've just thought about it and I'm willing to live a good life with you and be your princess. I only have one request, though. If Your Highness can agree to that, I'll stay."

Jiang Jingyue's words piqued his curiosity, and he raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

"Oh, then tell me what your demands are."

Jiang Jingyue paused for a moment before looking at Qi Yehan and speaking slowly.

"First, I'll tell my parents as soon as I get back."

Secondly, I hope that Your Highness will only have me as your concubine. If Your Highness meets another woman you like in the future, you can tell me, and I will voluntarily give up my position.

I have only these two requests; I hope Your Highness can grant them.

These two requirements were not even considered requirements for Emperor Wu of Qin.

So he nodded without hesitation.

"I can grant you both of these requests, as long as you are willing to stay and live a good life with me. I will treat you well."

Hearing Qin Hanwu agree, Jiang Jingyue's face was beaming with joy, and she was very excited.

"Your Highness, when can I go home? Can I go home now? My parents will be very worried when they find out I was taken away."

Looking at Jiang Jingyue's expectant expression, Qin Hanwu couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

Her biological father and stepmother didn't care about her at all. The reason they let her participate in the imperial concubine selection was because they couldn't bear to part with their own daughter.

In their eyes, Jiang Jingyue had no place at all.

However, Jiang Jingyue still wants to go back. She probably doesn't know that when her so-called parents learned that she had been taken away by the Regent's Palace, they were not worried, but only greedy.

"Yes, if you want to go back, I can have a carriage prepared right now. I just hope you won't disappoint the king, understand?"

This sentence sounds like it has a hidden meaning.

However, Jiang Jingyue didn't think too much about it. She wanted to go back to the house where the original owner used to live because the original owner had a wish: that everyone in her family would pay the price for the bullying she had done in the past.

This time, she was going back to make those people pay the price, not because she was afraid her parents would worry, which was why she was so eager to go back.

However, it's not good to talk about this kind of thing openly, because I'm worried that someone with ulterior motives might target me.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will be back soon."

When Jiang Jingyue set off in the Prince's carriage, Qin Hanwu waved his hand, signaling someone to follow.

"Go and take a look, but remember to stay far away so that no one notices you."

Jiang Jingyue had long known that someone would follow her when she came out this time, but to her surprise, three groups of people came at once.

She knew that some of Qin Hanwu's people were among them, and as of now, Qin Hanwu's people wouldn't harm her.

I just don't know where the other two groups of people come from.

Jiang Jingyue had been waiting for people to come to her in person. She felt that these people, who had been following her at a distance, must have something they wanted to ask her.

She just couldn't find a suitable opportunity. These people weren't there to kill her, because she knew that if they wanted to, they would have already come at her with knives.

Since they hadn't found an opportunity, Jiang Jingyue decided to create one for them himself. He wanted to see what these people were really up to.

Jiang Jingyue asked the driver to stop, saying that the scenery ahead was beautiful and she wanted to see it. The driver nodded and stopped immediately without hesitation.

At this moment, Jiang Jingyue stepped out of the carriage, giving them a good opportunity.

Sure enough, after Jiang Jingyue got off the carriage, the carriage behind also stopped, and then a person came out of the carriage. Without hesitation, that person came to Jiang Jingyue's side.

Seeing the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, Jiang Jingyue feigned surprise and looked at him with some confusion.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? Is there something you need?"

When he heard Jiang Jingyue ask that question, the man in front of him immediately nodded.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a bag of silver in front of Jiang Jingyue and opened the bag so that Jiang Jingyue could see how much was inside.

When Jiang Jingyue saw so much silver, her eyes lit up and a greedy look appeared on her face.

Of course, she was faking it all to fool the person in front of her.

"This... so much silver, is it all for me?"

Jiang Jingyue's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"Yes, you don't need to doubt it. All these things are yours, but I need you to do me a favor. After you do it, I will give you this much silver again."

"So, do you agree? If you agree, this silver is yours."

Jiang Jingyue nodded without hesitation. "I agree. Go ahead, what is it?"

"This matter is actually very simple. Just observe the Regent and see if he behaves anything unusual. If he does, have someone send a message to Jinghua Inn to find a man named Xiao Dong. Do you understand?"

When he saw Jiang Jingyue nod, Qi Man prepared to leave. He couldn't stay any longer; he didn't want to be seen by others.

However, just as he was about to leave, Jiang Jingyue called him back.

"Wait, which side are you on?"

When Jiang Jingyue asked him this, the man hesitated. He didn't know about this matter and wondered if he could tell her.

Jiang Jingyue immediately noticed his hesitation and promptly handed him the things she was holding.
