Chapter 378: A New King
Mi Shuang was about to explain when Nalan Yujie interrupted her, saying, "That's enough. If you don't understand, then don't understand. Why ask about something that's completely unfounded?"
Abbot Kongchan chanted "Amitabha" and sat back down at his desk, fiddling with his prayer beads. Although Nalan Yujie didn't say anything, her aura suddenly changed as if she were a different person.
Yu Shiyan glanced at her without any emotion, "You can't keep up with your studies so quickly?"
"Of course you can learn it. Even if you don't watch it now, you'll eventually watch it."
"This princess is tired and will return to her residence first."
"No need to see me out."
Nalan Yujie turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, Prince Mu, this princess has always repaid evil with kindness."
After saying that, she was helped down the mountain by Mi Shuang, got into the carriage, and set off to return home.
Seeing that Nalan Yujie was in a bad mood, Mi Shuang didn't dare to speak again along the way. She just knelt down at Nalan Yujie's feet and poured tea and burned incense for her.
Nalan Yujie picked up a piece of candied fruit from the dish, took a bite, and then threw it back with a look of displeasure, saying, "It's disgustingly greasy."
Mi Shuang quickly lowered her head, "I've inquired, and they say this is what she usually likes to eat."
"She's not even a stepping stone anymore, there's no need to display her anymore, it's just too tiring to look at."
Nalan Yujie rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the cushion as she played with the lily of the valley flowers, her tone somewhat nonchalant, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Tell me, how have things been these past few days?"
"I heard that the Crown Prince seems to care about her a lot, and even assigned Dongru, who serves him personally, to her."
Furthermore, the First Prince has completely replaced all the people the Princess had placed around him. Without your permission, they dare not act rashly and are all waiting for your order.
"Oh?" Nalan Yujie smiled playfully, reached out and broke off a stem and leaf of a lily of the valley, examining it carefully in her palm.
"I was wondering why the puppet was so obedient this time; it turns out it had its own agenda."
"Then... Princess, would you like to..." Mi Shuang made a throat-slitting gesture.
"This little thought is harmless for now, let it go."
Nalan Yujie waved her hand, "After all, he is the King of the Northern Frontier. He should act like a king. It would be improper for him to always listen to me like this."
Mi Shuang paused, then unconsciously swallowed. "You mean..."
"Isn't that clear enough? Stop the medication; he's no longer of any use to you."
The old ways are too boring; it's time for a new king in the north.
Nalan Yujie's tone was casual and indifferent, as if the decision she made in a moment of thought was not about life or death, but merely an insignificant one.
"I understand." Mi Shuang took a deep breath and replied quickly.
Nalan Yujie lifted the curtain and glanced at the scenery flashing by outside. "We're changing our route. We're not going back to the manor."
"Where does the princess intend to go?" the guard asked with a sigh.
"The Crown Prince's Residence".
"I heard that the Crown Prince is under house arrest and no one is allowed to visit him. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to go there rashly?"
"Huh? Grounded?"
Mi Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly apologized: "Yesterday, when I received the news, I wanted to report it, but seeing that the princess was taking a nap, I figured it wasn't anything of great importance, so I didn't disturb you."
It wasn't...it wasn't that the servant knew but didn't report it.
"What's there to be nervous about? I don't mean to blame you." Nalan Yujie patted her shoulder, her smile full of unfathomable depth.
"Besides, I know you are loyal."
Even if you're not loyal, the drugs in your body will force you to be loyal when they take effect.
"Yes...yes."
