Chapter 988 Self-blame
"No matter what our sisterly relationship is, the fact that we are connected by blood cannot be denied. If I know or see you treat her badly again, I don't mind strengthening my relationship with Huangfu Shen."
Hearing this, Huangfu Shang laughed and said, "Princess, please rest assured. I will treat Princess An Ning gently."
It was also a good thing for him that Jiang Xue was so obviously protecting Jiang Yuyin.
After saying that, he took Jiang Yuyin's hand and said, "Then we'll leave first."
Looking at their departing figures, Jiang Xiaoan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I've long been fed up with Huangfu Shang's appearance. What Third Cousin and Her Royal Highness the Princess did today is really applaudable."
However, Jiang Xue's expression did not look relaxed: "I just hope that today's lesson can make him restrain himself for a while."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Xiaoan hurriedly said goodbye, because he knew that only Xiao Zhan could truly make her smile.
Xiao Zhan waved to Jiang Xue: "Xiaoxue, come here!"
She walked over as instructed, and he gently pinched her nose and jokingly said, "Is it because Jiang Yuyin doesn't want to stay here at all, so she looks depressed?"
Jiang Xue shook her head: "I am indeed a little unhappy. Although we can't say that we have a deep sisterly bond, I did promise my father to protect her.
However, if she was in Tianshui, I would be out of reach. Maybe I shouldn't have married her there, but should have abolished her princess status and driven her out of the capital."
In this way, even if Jiang Yuyin resented her, at least she would not fall in love with a man who might have ulterior motives like she is now, nor would she be in danger all the time.
Xiao Zhan comforted him, "Whether she should have been married to Tianshui Kingdom at that time, or whether she should stay in the dynasty now, you gave her the right to choose, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"Having said that, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." Jiang Xue sighed.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Zhan smiled slightly: "How about letting me help you relieve it?"
"OK……"
As soon as he returned to the envoy's villa, Huangfu Shang asked Jiang Yuyin: "Have you said everything I asked you to say to Jiang Xue?"
Jiang Yuyin nodded and replied: "Of course."
Huangfu Shang's eyes revealed a probing look. Seeing her sincerity, he continued to ask, "Does she believe it?"
"I have no idea."
Jiang Yuyin shook her head: "After all, I have hurt her several times before, and she has always been cautious, so she may not believe what I say."
"That's true. If she believed your words so easily, she wouldn't be Jiang Xue anymore."
Huangfu Shang said: "But this prince can see that she does not bear any grudge against you and still has sisterly feelings for you."
“I don’t know whether she has a sisterly love for me, but I remember that when my father was dying, he placed my hand in hers and told her to take good care of me.
She is a person who values her promises and she will definitely not watch me die. "
Jiang Yuyin's eyes gradually became cold: "That's why she would rather marry me to Tianshui than kill me."
Huangfu Shang laughed and said, "She spared your life at the beginning, but now you still hate her."
"We are both noble princesses, but she now has all the power in the world, and I was married to a foreign country. How can I not hate her?"
Jiang Yuyin said coldly: "In this life, she and I will never coexist."
Huangfu Shang laughed loudly. With a helper like Jiang Yuyin by his side, it would be easy to create trouble for Jiang Xue in the future.
When Jiang Xiaoan walked to the gate of the princess's mansion, he happened to see Fu Dong standing there, and his steps stopped involuntarily.
However, he changed his mind and thought that it should be her who was sorry for him instead of him doing anything wrong, so what was there to be afraid of? Thinking of this, he walked straight over.
Fu Dong stretched out his hand to block his way: "Jiang Xiaoan!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoan immediately responded loudly: "The princess and third cousin did not assign you a task to deal with me today, so you have no reason to stop me."
The other party explained that he just wanted to chat for a few minutes, but Jiang Xiaoan covered his ears and refused loudly: "I don't want to listen."
Seeing this, Fu Dong was both angry and amused: "Why are you covering your ears like a girl?"
Jiang Xiaoan immediately jumped up and retorted: "You are too rude and are getting more and more outrageous. I will go to the princess and my third cousin to seek justice now."
In fact, he was just trying to scare Fu Dong. After all, Jiang Xue was in a bad mood, so how could he dare to bother her again?
Fu Dong gently pressed his shoulder, and Jiang Xiaoan immediately calmed down.
Having seen her strength, he dared not act rashly.
"What I said just now was indeed inappropriate. I'm very sorry. Please don't mind it." Fu Dong apologized sincerely.
This surprised Jiang Xiaoan: "I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to apologize to me without the princess's order?"
Fu Dong smiled slightly: "Since you know you are wrong, you should apologize."
She continued, "Let's stop beating around the bush and just speak directly!"
Afterwards, Fu Dong put forward his own idea: "I took a fancy to the poison that Prince Consort used to deal with Huangfu Shang today, so..."
Jiang Xiaoan immediately interrupted her: "That's the secret recipe I worked so hard to develop, how can I just give it to anyone?"
Fu Dong frowned: "What if I insist?"
Jiang Xiaoan took a few steps back: "Even if you threaten me with force, I will not compromise, and I will tell the princess and my third cousin."
Fu Dong chuckled and explained, “You misunderstood, I had no intention of using violence against you.
I just want to know what I need to exchange for the poison. Jiang Xiaoan, you are really a coward. "
"No, absolutely not. Even if you offer me a priceless treasure in exchange, I will not agree."
Jiang Xiaoan firmly refused. Fu Dong responded calmly:
"Really? A few days ago, I met a medicinal herb merchant who has extensive connections with medicine merchants in the Western Regions and specializes in the sale of rare medicinal herbs.
I originally wanted to introduce you to each other, but seeing your current attitude..."
"Master Fudong, please tell me what you need. Why use such a blunt word as exchange?"
As Jiang Ju spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and quickly handed it to her:
"This is exactly the poison that my third cousin used to deal with Huangfu Shang today. It is very effective. If it is not a special person, I will not give it to him easily."
Since Gan Kingdom is separated from the Western Regions by Tianshui Kingdom, the medicinal materials there are extremely precious, especially the rare ones which are hard to come by.
As a manly doctor, it would be okay for him to bow to her in order to obtain the herbs he desired.
Even if a lady goes first, what does it matter?
Fu Dong took the small medicine bottle and simply said thank you.
"So, what about the introduction between me and the herbal medicine merchant?"
"Don't worry, we will meet at Hongyun Building tomorrow morning. I will introduce the businessman to you."
