Yue Lang chuckled self-deprecatingly and teased, "You're not coming with me, so why would I go out of my way to fawn over An Chenghuan?"
If Yue Jiang doesn't follow him, all his plans will be meaningless. He won't let An Chenghuan profit from Yue Kingdom's wealth. Only if Jing Yan lives will it be good for Yue Kingdom.
“He sneaked in saying he wanted to see you, and that he wanted to cause internal and external troubles in An to save you. An Chenghuan also wanted me to persuade you to accept your fate and marry him.”
"If you want to see Jingyan, you must first get An Chenghuan to lower his guard and allow me to take you out of the palace. I have already brought Jingyan into An Kingdom, and it is impossible for me to help Jingyan sneak in again."
Yue Lang could give up the Moon Kingdom, but unfortunately Yue Jiang didn't choose him.
The Moon Kingdom has always been neutral, and Jing Yan currently lacks the ability to make the Moon Kingdom completely choose him, so there's no reason to sacrifice the Moon Kingdom to help Jing Yan.
Finally, Yue Lang, still unwilling to give up, added a sentence.
"But you need to think this through. I have a better chance of saving you than Jingyan. If you don't come with me now, who knows how confident Jingyan is? If he fails, you might really have to marry An Chenghuan."
Yue Jiang understood Yue Lang's words. If she wanted to move around freely, she had to show An Chenghuan her sincerity.
However, how Jing Yan will save himself remains to be seen, and there is a possibility that he will fail.
Yue Jiang remained silent for a moment. Jing Yan had risked his life for her, so she had no reason to back down.
"I believe him."
Upon hearing the answer, Yue Lang was heartbroken. He said in a low voice, "Fine, I'll tell An Chenghuan that you won't cause trouble anymore."
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked out of Fengyi Palace.
An Chenghuan heard the news only half an hour later. He was surprised that Yue Jiang had agreed so quickly. He couldn't help but be suspicious and personally went to Fengyi Palace with Yue Lang.
On the way, An Chenghuan probed with his words.
"Does Princess Yuejiang really intend to forget everything about Jing Kingdom and stay by my side? But Your Highness has done something, so it's best not to hurt Princess Yuejiang."
Yue Lang suppressed his displeasure and smiled nonchalantly: "She is a living, breathing person. She has won His Majesty's favor. What could I possibly do to her? Yue Jiang is from the Yue Kingdom."
"When her family members came to speak frankly, they praised His Majesty, saying that Yuejiang was personally chosen by His Majesty back then, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the best. How could they not know the reason behind it?"
"She married Jingyan first, for fear that if she easily agreed to His Majesty's request, you would think she was a fickle woman," he explained, pointing to his head with great annoyance.
"It's all because that scoundrel Jing Yan damaged her brain when he kidnapped her back then. She was taken to Jing Kingdom and indoctrinated with things that were bad for An Kingdom. She can't accept Your Majesty's kindness for a while. Your Majesty, please understand."
If that's the case, An Chenghuan's suspicions lessened somewhat. Back then, when he tried to redeem Yue Jiang from Jing Yan, Jing Yan tricked him.
If he had known earlier that Yue Jiang had lost her memory, things wouldn't have been so difficult.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. It is I who have been careless these days and failed to understand Princess Yuejiang's feelings, causing the princess to suffer. I should apologize."
An Chenghuan spoke modestly to save face, and Yue Lang exchanged a few polite words in return. Soon the two arrived at Fengyi Palace.
Yue Jiang had already composed herself and lit a candle on the candlestick. Hearing someone approaching, she turned her back to the candlestick and burned the love knot in her hand.
When An Chenghuan and Yue Lang arrived at the door, they saw a wisp of black smoke swirling around Yue Jiang.
"What are you doing?" An Chenghuan's eyes darkened, thinking that Yue Jiang was doing something foolish. He rushed up and pulled Yue Jiang away, and the burning object fell to the ground.
An Chenghuan looked down and saw that it was the love knot that Yue Jiang had made earlier. His cold eyes softened and he stared at Yue Jiang with a scrutinizing gaze.
Yue Jiang stepped back and apologized: "After listening to my brother's words, I know that His Majesty's intentions are not to deceive me. Since we can no longer return to Jing Kingdom, I want to stay here in peace. Things that I shouldn't be thinking about should be dealt with."
"I have startled Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
A red love knot was completely swallowed up in front of the two of them, and Yue Jiang's words touched An Chenghuan's heart.
He was willing to accept his fate and destroy the knot of unity, which had already relieved the knot in his heart. As for his other true or false intentions, we will have to see how they are discerned in the future.
An Chenghuan said gently, "Princess Yuejiang, you are too kind. I am so happy that you can see things clearly that I almost lost my temper. You don't need to be afraid of me."
Yue Jiang thought that An Chenghuan had probably let his guard down, and she smiled faintly.
Seeing that An Chenghuan was very satisfied with Yue Jiang's actions, Yue Lang took the opportunity to complain.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, my sister used to be quite bold. But after spending a few years in Jing Kingdom, she became dull and timid. I think it's all the fault of that scoundrel Jing Yan."
“Anguo is very different from Jingguo. Why don’t I take my sister out to see it, relax, and get used to the local customs and culture of Anguo?”
After Yue Lang spoke, An Chenghuan remained silent for a long time, but he was right about some things. Yue Jiang was indeed different from before, and it was impossible that she hadn't been influenced by Jing Kingdom.
An Chenghuan also wanted Yue Jiang to become a true Anguo person, and he readily agreed.
"Very well, I will personally accompany Princess Yuejiang out of the palace for a stroll."
Yue Jiang's heart skipped a beat, but she glanced at Yue Lang with a look of flattery.
Yuelang politely replied, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs; wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to accompany us siblings out of the palace?"
“Leaving the palace can also be considered as understanding the people’s conditions, which does not contradict national policies,” An Chenghuan liked Yue Jiang’s current attitude, but that did not mean he would feel at ease letting Yue Jiang leave the palace.
The Moon Kingdom is neutral, but after all, it has been related to the Jing Kingdom by marriage for many years. It is not afraid that Yue Lang would dare to take Yue Jiang away from the territory of the An Kingdom, otherwise the Moon Kingdom will have to give it an explanation.
But he feared that Yue Jiang was just putting on an act and taking the opportunity to inquire about Jing Yan's current situation.
An Chenghuan insisted on this, and Yuelang had already said that he would take Yuejiang out of the palace and could not go back on his word. So the three of them walked out of the palace with their own thoughts.
