Just as Su Ruojin was about to pull her hand out of her sleeve, a maidservant hurried over and bowed to Yuening, saying, "Princess, Young Master Lu requests an audience."

A hint of panic flashed across Yue Ning's face. "Why is he here?"

She waved her hand, and the maids and ten young masters all quickly withdrew.

Yuening looked at Su Ruojin with a strong warning in her eyes, "Madam Jiang, a wise person knows when to yield. I advise you to quit while you're ahead and not miss this opportunity. Otherwise, you'll end up losing both your money and your life, and it will be too late to regret it. I'll give you three days to think it over. You can come to me anytime you've made up your mind. Muqin, see Madam Jiang out."

"Yes, Princess."

"Madam Jiang, this way please."

Su Ruojin glanced at Yue Ning, then turned and left.

As she left, she brushed past Lu Junyuan.

Upon seeing Lu Junyuan, Yuening's previous fierce demeanor vanished, replaced by a gentle expression as she approached him, her voice soft and sweet, "Junyuan, what brings you here?"

Lu Junyuan handed the jewelry box he was holding to Yuening, saying, "I saw this hairpin at Xiangshi Pavilion before, and it suits you perfectly, so I bought it and brought it to you."

Yuening was very happy. "Junyuan, put it on for me."

"Okay." Lu Junyuan took out the hairpin and put it on Yue Ning's head.

"Is it pretty?" Yuening looked at Lu Junyuan with a shy expression.

"She looks good in anything," Lu Junyuan said affectionately.

"I saw a woman when I came in just now. Who is she?" Lu Junyuan asked.

"Oh, she's just a merchant's wife from the Great Chu. I called her over to see if she had any special Great Chu jewelry to buy," Yue Ning said casually, her eyes flashing.

"Did you pick one? If you did, I'll buy it for you."

"No, they're all ugly." Yuening's eyes flickered.

"Then I'll take you to Xiangshi Pavilion another day to pick out some things you like," Lu Junyuan said with a smile.

"Junyuan, you're so good to me."

“You are my fiancée, and our wedding day is in a month. If I don’t treat you well, who else can I treat well?” Lu Junyuan gently embraced Yue Ning.

Yuening leaned against him, her face full of sweetness.

"By the way, Yuening, I remember Her Majesty the Empress once gave you a poison-avoiding pill, do you still have it?"

Yuening looked at Lu Junyuan with some anxiety, "Junyuan, have you been poisoned?"

"No, I've recently become interested in medicine and would like to spend a few days studying it. I wonder if it would be convenient for Yue Ning?"

Lu Junyuan was known as a child prodigy in Xiaoyue Kingdom from a young age. He could recite a hundred poems at the age of three, speak eloquently at the age of five, and was proficient in all arts, including rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics by the age of ten, making him famous throughout the world.

After achieving the highest rank in the imperial examination, he was granted a marriage by imperial decree to Princess Yuening, becoming the prince consort of Xiaoyue Kingdom.

Lu Junyuan had a wide range of interests since childhood. Now that he had become the emperor's son-in-law and could no longer pursue an official career, he enjoyed studying various skills in his spare time.

Some people felt sorry for Lu Junyuan, but Lu Junyuan didn't care. On the contrary, he treated Princess Yuening very well and seemed to be happy to become her husband.

Now that Lu Junyuan says he is studying medicine, Yuening is not surprised.

Because of Princess Shang, Lu Junyuan was unable to enter officialdom, and Yuening felt somewhat guilty towards him, so she granted almost all his requests.

However, without hesitation, Yuening had Muqin take out a poison-avoiding pill and give it to Lu Junyuan.

"Junyuan, what's mine is yours, don't talk about lending it or not," Yuening said with a smile.

Lu Junyuan accepted the antidote pill, looking at Yue Ning with tender eyes, "Thank you."

After Lu Junyuan left the princess's residence with the antidote pill, the smile on his face vanished instantly. He said to the guard, "Go and investigate the person that Yue Ning saw."

"Yes, young master!"
