You Jiang asked in confusion, "How did you know I was coming?"

Seeing her expression, Aying didn't hide anything, "Aheng gave us advance notice that you were coming to the North. Sister Youjiang, don't blame Aheng for making the decision on his own, he was just worried about you."

Oh... okay...

Youjiang followed Aying all the way into the city, finally stopping in front of a house.

This is Rong Ning's place of residence in the North. It's a two-courtyard house, not large, but usually only the two of them, mistress and servant, live here. It's spacious and comfortable.

When they arrived, Rong Ning was looking at the message handed to her by her subordinates. She slowly looked up when she heard the noise.

You Jiang bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

“We’ve finally arrived…” Rong Ning said softly, putting down what she was holding and looking at her with her head propped up. “What is Big Brother thinking? You’re such a good person, and you’re willing to send yourself to my side.”

Speaking of this, You Jiang was still angry and said sullenly, "Your Highness, I was driven out by the Crown Prince."

"real?"

Rong Ning clicked her tongue. "That older brother is really ungrateful. He must be out of his mind to do something so stupid."

You Jiang's lips twitched, thinking that in the whole world, only this little princess would dare to speak ill of the crown prince in front of outsiders.

She dared not answer, so she shut her mouth and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Rong Ning stood up, pulled on the reins and sat down to the side, saying, "Before I went to the North with my elder sister, my elder brother said he would give you to me."

But at the time, I thought that you had followed my elder brother through thick and thin for so many years, and our friendship was deep. If I agreed, it would be like taking away someone else's love.

But things are different now. You came to my side on your own initiative, and I'm currently short-handed, so I need capable people like you to help me.”

Rong Ning took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then said, "I know that if it weren't for my elder brother's connection, you would never have come to the North to find me after leaving the Eastern Palace."

But whatever your original intention in coming to me, now that you're here, don't turn back.

Although I don't know what happened between you and my elder brother, the fact that he was so heartless as to let you go means that he has severed any possible future between you two.

My elder brother and I are both children of the royal family, so we don't really believe in the idea of ​​a lifelong, monogamous relationship.

He was indeed a bit cruel to drive you away, but from a certain perspective, he was also a good person. At least he didn't use the name of loving you to trap you in the Eastern Palace.

Since that's the case... you should completely let go of your thoughts and stop trapping yourself in them.

In this vast world, with so many things to worry about, this little love affair is nothing at all.

"Today, I sincerely request that you stay by my side and help me pull off a big heist in the North, returning to Nanyang City in glory, leaving my elder brother filled with regret."
