Chapter 65
"His Highness the Crown Prince and I are destined not to be together in the end. I conspired with Shen Zheng to scheme against him. Even if he truly loves me, if he finds out the truth, do you think he will abandon everything and continue to treat me sincerely?"
The answer is naturally no.
Although Song Xuan, as the crown prince, was humble, it did not mean he had no temper. Moreover, who would dare to challenge the authority of the royal family?
She also has a mother to take care of. Leaving after giving birth is the best outcome for her and Song Xuan, and it will also leave a place in Song Xuan's heart.
If she stays regardless of everything, she will face certain death.
Therefore, she must leave!
Xiaoju had obviously thought of this as well. She sighed slightly and said with some emotion, "If only Master hadn't asked Miss to do this, then Miss and His Highness the Crown Prince could have truly been a harmonious couple."
During this time, Xiaoju has become extremely loyal to Shen Qingnian. She feels sorry for Shen Qingnian and thinks she is a pitiful person.
Hearing Xiaoju's words, Shen Qingnian shook her head with a light laugh: "Xiaoju, you are too naive. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't be standing in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Even if we have some interaction, I would never develop feelings for him. We are not the same kind of people. My preferences, my hobbies, everything I have is for him.
Xiaoju, this isn't the real me...
As she finished speaking, Shen Qingnian's voice lowered.
She wasn't gentle at all, nor was she kind, let alone going out of town to distribute porridge. It was all just an illusion.
They are all just means to pursue power.
Xiaoju shuddered, realizing just how ridiculous her thoughts were.
She wanted to explain, "Miss, I just wanted to make you happier... I thought His Highness the Crown Prince could bring you happiness..."
She simply felt that the position of Crown Princess was prestigious, and that His Highness the Crown Prince treated her very well.
Shen Qingnian smiled and shook her head: "Xiaoju, only the noble and gentle eldest daughter of the Shen family can be in harmony with His Highness the Crown Prince. Don't say these things anymore."
She is nothing more than a counterfeit who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Xiaoju nodded.
Shen Qingnian also lowered her head and leaned over the table to reply to Song Xuan with a poem.
"The moon's reflection on the Jade Terrace, the image I cherish in my dreams. Though I do not go there, will you not come to me? At midnight, I wait for you through the window."
She handed the letter to Xiaoju and asked her to send it to the East Palace.
It's been a while since the Flower Festival, it's time to go and see them.
at night.
Shen Qingnian timed it perfectly and had Xiaoju bring her a bathtub. After slightly opening the window, she began to take a bath.
Nighttime, the Eastern Palace.
Song Xuan buried himself in his work, then shook his wrist, which was a little sore from annotating official documents, and got up to end his busy day.
At this moment, Xia Zi walked in and said softly, "Your Highness, there has been progress in the case of the missing grain supplies at the border. His Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Study, saying that he wants to discuss it with you."
This case is the biggest one recently, and His Highness the Crown Prince has been keeping an eye on it for a long time.
Song Xuan paused for a moment, then looked at the envelope on the table. The letter had been delivered from the Shen residence that afternoon and was written by Qing Nian.
A hint of longing appeared in his eyes as he instructed, "Xia Zi, tell Father that I have something to attend to and cannot go. Then invite the Grand Tutor to the Imperial Study."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the study.
Xiazi looked at Song Xuan's hurried back and scratched his head.
Your Highness was supposed to be most concerned about the grain supply issue, so why aren't you going now?
