...
The next day.
Not long after Yue Jiang woke up in her tent, Jing Yan's voice came from outside: "Princess, are you awake?"
"Your Highness, please come in," Yue Jiang said before Jing Yan could finish speaking, and she had already walked to the tent door and opened it for him.
She smiled politely at Jing Yan, but Jing Yan did not immediately return the smile. His dark, bright eyes firmly captured every inch of Yue Jiang's expression.
Until Yue Jiang's smile froze, and her eyes became timid: "Your Highness, what have I done wrong again?"
Jingyan looked at Yuejiang and found that she was no different from yesterday. After looking at her for a while, her eyes filled with tears. She showed no signs of anything unusual, so she probably hadn't regained her memory yet.
However, he didn't want to be careless and prepared to have the army doctor examine him again, saying, "You injured your head yesterday, let the army doctor take another look at you today, and then we'll set off back to Pingkang City."
Last night, Jing Yan sent Wei You to Lushan, where they found the silver hidden in the cave. Jing Yan also intercepted the Yue Kingdom's marriage procession. Now that everything was settled, it was time to go back.
Once inside the tent, Jing Yan's military order clearly stated that Yue Jiang was the Crown Princess he was about to marry, so no one could underestimate Yue Jiang or reveal their true colors in front of her.
Even the military doctor was much more respectful and polite when treating Yue Jiang's injuries than yesterday.
He first examined Yue Jiang's external injuries, then took her pulse, and asked a few questions about her current condition.
However, amnesia is really hard to diagnose. You can say that she is physically fine, but she just can't remember anything and keeps calling her own prince her husband.
The military doctor was also shrewd. Jing Yan's words were law, and he had already acknowledged the Yue Kingdom's princess and crown princess. As long as Yue Jiang still insisted on marrying the Jing Kingdom, the military doctor would assume that she had not regained her memory.
After packing up the medicine box, she shook her head meaningfully at Jing Yan, implying that Yue Jiang was not well.
Upon receiving the message, Jing Yan waved his hand and dismissed the man.
When she turned back, Yue Jiang was silent with her head down, looking sullen, as if she still resented his stern gaze earlier.
To be honest, Jing Yan didn't understand what kind of woman Yue Jiang was. When he first kidnapped her and put her on his horse, she was so bold that she dared to bite him.
Since losing her memory yesterday, she has been crying nonstop and is timid about everything; when she met Princess Feng, she was able to understand her feelings and help her resolutely reject Princess Feng's infatuation.
In his understanding, Yue Jiang should be a gentle, reasonable, and generous woman, but right now she is throwing a tantrum and is clearly complaining about her attitude just now.
Jing Yan sighed inwardly and asked first, "Are you unhappy?"
Yue Jiang shook her head: "This concubine dares not."
"Then why don't you speak?" Jing Yan asked, disbelieving and questioning.
"I am foolish and afraid that I might offend Your Highness. If Your Highness is angry, I... I am not good at mining and I will die. I am afraid of dying!"
As Yue Jiang spoke, her voice trembled with tears, and she even began to think about her own fate for fear of angering Jing Yan.
However, if you think about it, Jing Yan would never let his soon-to-be-married Crown Princess go mining.
This was merely a metaphor for Yue Jiang's situation, but she couldn't act entirely humble, especially not towards Jing Yan.
She would have to live in the Jing Kingdom Palace from now on, and being weak and feeble would not accomplish anything; she was not the kind of person who would passively accept whatever came her way.
The Moon Kingdom has so many beauties, she wasn't chosen by the An Kingdom solely because of her looks.
Yue Jiang wanted Jing Yan to understand her attitude. She had her own pride and bottom line, and she would be unhappy because of Jing Yan's sudden change in attitude.
Of course, she couldn't show it too obviously at first, because Jing Yan's various behaviors were all the result of his suspicion of her.
It's unrealistic for Yue Jiang to completely prevent Jing Yan from having any doubts about her; it's best to be tactful and know when to advance and retreat.
Immediately, Yue Jiang's eyes filled with tears, stubborn yet aggrieved.
"I don't know why Your Highness is always so hot and cold towards me. I don't want Your Highness to be so unpredictable because of me, so I'd better just stay silent from now on!"
A tear fell onto the back of my hand and splattered everywhere.
Last night, Jingyan only gave Yuejiang clothes, without preparing any hairpins or jewelry. She could only use the ribbon left in her hair from yesterday to tie it up.
Yue Jiang had already turned away from the ground while sobbing, her loose black hair obscuring her face, so Jing Yan couldn't see her tears at all. But listening to her soft sobs, he could imagine that she was crying.
Jing Yan's hand, which was resting on his lap, twitched slightly. Was he very unpredictable?
Mingming simply wanted to observe Yuejiang closely to see if her memory had returned after a night's rest.
Aside from not immediately ignoring her, what did she do that made her think she disliked her and would send her mining services?
Although Jingyan did have this idea at first!
"Don't cry, it was my fault just now," Jing Yan said. He was in the military camp, where preparations were not very thorough. He picked up a piece of gauze left by the military doctor and handed it to Yue Jiang to use as a handkerchief.
When Yue Jiang saw Jing Yan handing her something, she didn't stubbornly refuse to acknowledge him, since they weren't very familiar with each other yet, and being too insistent wouldn't be beneficial.
She reached out her delicate hand to take it, folded the gauze, and gently wiped away her tears on her face.
After Yue Jiang calmed down a bit, Jing Yan realized he couldn't possibly tell her why he had treated her that way, and pondered for a moment.
"I didn't mean to target you just now. I was just distracted by some military and political matters and didn't pay attention to you. It won't happen again next time."
"Really, Your Highness?" Yue Jiang didn't want to make this a point of anger at all; she was happy as long as Jing Yan could explain it to her.
Therefore, she turned around quickly and considerately, her face gradually clearing up.
“Of course,” Jing Yan replied, without any unreasonable arguments. Why should he take it seriously?
He originally thought Yue Jiang was someone who could be manipulated by others, but she turned out to be quite sensitive, which was not bad, as it saved her from being bullied in the palace.
Jingyan must not openly express his suspicions again, otherwise she will realize that his attitude is wrong and feel uneasy, and will easily overthink things.
Yue Jiang's emotions softened, and she looked down, asking with concern, "Your Highness, does your injury still hurt?"
Yue Jiang's sudden concern startled Jing Yan for a moment. He hadn't expected her to remember him. He smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
At this moment, Yue Jiang's tears were still wet on her face, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks, making her look less than refreshed.
Jing Yan raised his hand, picked up a strand of hair that was stuck to her face, and brushed it behind her ear.
After realizing this, Yue Jiang smiled shyly, raised her hand to tuck her long hair behind her ear, and apologized.
"Your Highness, I am not properly dressed again."
Jing Yan didn't seem to care much: "It's not your fault. I was in the camp and couldn't arrange for anyone to take care of you. I've already summoned your servants, so let them come in and serve you."
Immediately, he called out to the outside, and then three men and women of different ages entered the tent one after another.
As soon as they entered, the group knelt down before Yue Jiang, their voices trembling with sobs: "Princess!"
Yue Jiang looked at the people one by one. They were her personal maid Qing Ke, Granny Ye who raised her, and General Shan, the Yue Kingdom's envoy who escorted her to the marriage alliance.
These are the three main people in charge of her marriage alliance.
"Do you still remember?" Jing Yan asked.
Yue Jiang smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking. They have served me for a long time, how could I not remember them?"
