After saying that, he left Yue Jiang and went out of the house. Yue Jiang was even more puzzled as she watched Jing Yan walk out the door quickly.
What exactly happened?
Granny Ye and Qingke came in quickly. Granny Ye checked Yuejiang's clothes and found that she was dressed very well.
Suspicious: "Your Highness is usually very gentle, what's wrong with you tonight?"
Yue Jiang shook her head.
Although Jingyan said he would come back, it's not certain. He clearly spoke very sincerely to her during the day, so why did he change his mind before their wedding night?
Yue Jiang wouldn't dare to chase after him in a conspicuous way, she said calmly.
"Granny, Qingke, please help me change my clothes and take a bath first."
...
Jing Yan went out but didn't bathe or change. He just felt the cool breeze outside was refreshing. As he walked, he left the back hall of the East Palace and went to the front hall.
Along the way, he encountered many palace maids and eunuchs. None of them dared to look at him, but Jingyan always felt countless eyes secretly glancing at him.
He couldn't see the expressions on those people's faces, but it must have been very strange for someone to leave their new wife on their wedding night.
The next day, when Yue Jiang goes out, she will likely encounter these strange looks as well. They won't be hidden in the darkness then; they will spread throughout the entire Jing Palace, making Yue Jiang feel very embarrassed.
In this way, the spy who delivered the letter to him today has accomplished his scheme.
Jing Yan sighed as he thought of this. He staggered a couple of steps, leaned on a pillar, and said drunkenly, "Where have I wandered off to? Someone help me back."
A moment later, a servant heard the noise and came forward, carefully helping Jing Yan walk back.
After returning home, Jingyan did not go straight to his room. Instead, he went to the hot spring to bathe and change. By the time he was ready, it was already midnight.
Standing outside the bridal chamber, he was astonished to see that the room, which had been as bright as day, was now only lit by a few faint candles, and the surroundings were eerily silent.
Yue Jiang really was just putting on an act with him; she wasn't even willing to wait for him a little longer.
Granny Ye and Qingke were waiting outside the palace. When they saw Jingyan return, Granny Ye was surprised and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness, you're back. This old servant will go and call the Crown Princess."
Jing Yan walked straight back to his room with his hands behind his back, his voice slightly cold as he refused her request: "You don't need to come with me, I'll go in by myself."
