Chapter 946: Don’t cause any trouble
Jiang Xue responded softly: "The situation of the Third Prince and Yuyin is different. In this world, men are often more open-minded than women. So, just because His Highness wants to see me doesn't mean Yuyin is willing to see me."
"But Her Royal Highness is much more magnanimous than most people. Whether a man or a woman is broad-minded or not does not depend on gender."
Huangfu Shang added.
Jiang Xue didn't want to beat around the bush anymore: "To tell you the truth, I really don't want to see Jiang Yuyin."
The two sisters had long since broken up, and meeting each other would only add to their troubles.
If Yuyin was not doing well, meeting her would only increase resentment; if she was doing well, she might take the opportunity to mock her. Neither of these two situations was what Jiang Xue wanted, so it was better not to meet her.
"But Princess An Ning is your highness's only sister. Can you really bear not to see her?" Huangfu Shang asked tentatively.
"If you really couldn't bear to let her go, why did you let her marry?" Jiang Xue asked back.
Huangfu Shang smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness's decisiveness is admirable."
"Thank you for the compliment, Third Prince." Jiang Xue replied calmly.
Huangfu Shang saw that she was not in a good mood, so he asked, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Please ask and see if I can answer your question." Jiang Xue said.
Huangfu Shang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Who was the man who gave you your first taste of love?"
Jiang Xue sneered: "Who is the woman who enlightened you?"
"She is a charming woman."
Huangfu Shang answered frankly, "Since I told the truth, shouldn't Your Highness answer my question?"
Jiang Xue glanced at him, and seeing that he would not give up until he achieved his goal, she said bluntly: "Of course it's the man I love deeply, Xiao Zhan."
Huangfu Shang obviously didn't believe it: "You two have never gotten along, how could it be him?"
"Why can't it be him?"
Jiang Xue explained: "He is not only handsome and smart, but he also risked his life to protect me when I was a child. The disagreement between us is just a show for others to see."
Huangfu Shang finally realized how wrong he was. It turned out that Jiang Xue's affection for Xiao Zhan was genuine.
Recalling that she had once said that her heart belonged to Xiao Zhan, he thought she was lying. Now it seems that he was overthinking.
In Huangfu Shang's eyes, losing to Xiao Zhan made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Your Highness is indeed extremely wise, but it's a pity that your taste in choosing men is not very good."
Huangfu Shang said coldly: "What happiness can Xiao Zhan bring you?"
"Yun Che is fine." Jiang Xue replied softly.
Huangfu Shang lifted her chin and said, "You just haven't tried other men. How about we give it a try? I promise you'll like it."
"OK."
Jiang Xue responded with a smile, and gently took off the jade hairpin on Huangfu Shang's head with her fingers. With a little force, the hairpin turned into powder.
"If the Third Prince doesn't mind that something of his is as fragile as this jade hairpin, then I don't mind giving it a try."
Although Huangfu Shang longed for Jiang Xue, he knew very well that she had a strong personality and if he angered her, the consequences would be disastrous.
Therefore, he chose to retreat temporarily, thinking that there would always be a way to make her surrender.
"It doesn't seem to be a good day today, let's discuss it another day. I have something else to do now, so I'll take my leave first."
Not long after Huangfu Shang left, Jiang Xiaoan walked out of the inner room with an unhappy look on his face.
"Did you hear everything?" Jiang Xue asked.
“Yes.”
Jiang Xiaoan said: "Huangfu Shang is really too much. He actually dared to speak to the princess like that. If my cousin knew about this, he would definitely not let him off easily."
Jiang Xue smiled, remembering the last time Huangfu Shang spoke rudely to her in the imperial city, and was secretly drugged by Xiao Zhan, causing her to suffer a lot.
Recalling that time, she thought Yun Che's jealous look was quite cute.
"This is Tianshui's territory, we shouldn't cause any trouble." Jiang Xue said.
Jiang Xiaoan nodded in agreement, but he had already made up his mind that if he had the chance, he would teach Huangfu Shang a lesson and vent his anger for his cousin.
As for Xiao Zhan, he found that apart from not treating his leg injury, Yelu Cheng did not send anyone to torture him again.
Yelu Minzhen came to harass him every now and then, and although he sometimes beat him up, this was nothing compared to the torture he suffered at the beginning.
He could endure all this and just hoped that Xiaoxue would come soon and take him home.
As soon as Huangfu Shang entered the mansion, Jiang Yuyin came to greet him in a hurry: "I heard that Jiang Xue has arrived in the capital of Tianshui Kingdom."
"Yes," he responded briefly.
"I have to see her."
Huangfu Shang smiled contemptuously, with disdain in his eyes: "Do you think she wants to see you too? Just give up on this idea, Jiang Yuyin."
"How can you be sure she doesn't want to see me?" she demanded.
"I just came back from her place, and she made it clear that she didn't want to see you. Besides, what exactly is your purpose in looking for her? It's better to stay at your own place and stop annoying people."
After saying that, he strode away, leaving only his receding back to Jiang Yuyin.
She stamped her feet in anger, clenched her fists, and was determined to see Jiang Xue no matter what.
Jiang Xue expected to be summoned by the Emperor of Tianshui the next day.
At this moment, she stood in front of the window, holding the little puppet Xiao Zhan gave her, with a gentle look in her eyes. She was determined to rescue him and bring him back to Beijing, and to officially become his wife.
As night fell, Jiang Xue was preparing to rest when someone came to report that Jiang Yuyin was seriously ill and asked to see her.
Jiang Xue immediately woke up Jiang Xiaoan, hoping that he would accompany her.
But Jiang Xiaoan frowned and reminded: "Princess, Huangfu Shang just said those unpleasant words during the day, and at night there was news that Princess An Ning was seriously ill. I'm afraid there is a trick."
"Even so, I still want to go see her. After all, she is my biological sister."
"But what if this is a trap set by Huangfu Shang?"
"Don't worry."
Jiang Xue explained: "Here, Huangfu Shang is still under the control of the Crown Prince, so he will act more cautiously. Now he can only gain some advantage with words, but he won't really take action."
Jiang Xiaoan knew in his heart that even if it was just a verbal attack, it would be difficult for Xiao Zhan to accept.
How he hoped that Xiao Zhan would return soon and personally protect Jiang Xue.
When they arrived at Huangfu Shang's residence, a servant immediately came forward to greet them:
"Your Highness, the Third Prince has already arranged everything. When you arrive, I will take you to see the Third Prince's wife. Please follow me."
Jiang Xue followed the servant into Huangfu Shang's residence and anxiously asked about Princess An Ning's condition.
“I’m not sure about the details.”
The servant replied, "I only heard that the Third Prince's wife vomited blood and fainted last night. After waking up, she kept shouting that she wanted to see you, the eldest princess."
"I understand. Take me there." Jiang Xue said.
When we arrived at Jiang Yuyin's villa, Huangfu Shang was already waiting at the door.
"Princess, you are finally here." He stepped forward and said.
"How is Yuyin doing?" Jiang Xue asked with concern.
Huangfu Shang chuckled and replied, “She is fine, she just took some poison and insisted on seeing you.
Princess, your feelings for this sister are much deeper than you think, otherwise why would you come here so quickly?"
