Despite feeling the watchful gazes of the two people behind her, Hanxiang continued to speak coldly.
"Very well, I will give you time. As long as you are willing to talk to me, that's fine. If there is anything you need, or if you are uncomfortable living in the palace, you can send someone to find me. If you want, I can even build a Hui camp for you."
When the Emperor heard that Hanxiang was finally speaking to him, his voice softened.
Seeing the Emperor's obvious change in mood, which was visibly pleased by just one of her words, Hanxiang's calm heart was also slightly disturbed, but it was too subtle for her to notice.
However, it cannot be denied that the Emperor's success lowered Hanxiang's guard even further.
The king of a country is more considerate of her than her father. During this time, he would come to accompany her every time he finished his work, talk and chat with her. Even if she ignored him, he was still very patient. Such a man is indeed very easy to fall in love with.
"No."
Although the emperor meant well, she did not want to return to the place she had finally managed to escape, and she did not want to see anyone who resembled her.
Compared to living like a prisoner in the Hui region, she preferred to live in the palace, where at least she could still see Princess Shen.
"Alright, if you say you don't need it, then you don't need it. But if you suddenly want it, just tell me and I'll have someone build it for you."
Seeing that Hanxiang didn't want it, the Emperor didn't force her. Fearing that she might change her mind and want it again, he added the next sentence, which shows that he was very tolerant of Hanxiang.
"Um."
Hanxiang gave a faint reply, her face indifferent.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
However, the Emperor could still sense that Hanxiang had become much gentler, and the look in her eyes was also more tender. Knowing that he couldn't push her too hard, the Emperor chose to leave.
"Jinlingzi, Yinlingzi, help me wash up. We're going to Jingren Palace."
After the Emperor left, Hanxiang turned to Jinlingzi and Yinlingzi standing behind her and spoke, her face expressionless, though her eyes held a hint of disgust towards the two behind her.
"Princess, what are you going to Jingren Palace for? Let's just stay at Baoyue Tower."
“Princess, the people in the palace are not simple. We might run into trouble if we go out. Let’s stay in Baoyue Tower.”
Jin Lingzi and Yin Lingzi exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with a dark light, and they both spoke up to stop them.
The master said that they should keep an eye on the princess and not allow her to come into contact with anyone else.
The Emperor and his men couldn't stop her, but fortunately the princess refused. As for giving her some time, they thought it was just the princess making excuses, waiting for their master to come and rescue her.
But they can't let the princess see anyone else, otherwise the princess will be hard to control.
"We've just arrived at the palace; shouldn't we pay our respects to Her Majesty the Empress?"
Hearing the two people try to stop her, Hanxiang suppressed her nausea and anger, as well as the disgust on her face, and spoke in the same calm tone as usual.
"Then, Princess, let's go and come back as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Hanxiang's words, Jinlingzi and Yinlingzi also felt that they made sense.
They chose to take a step back.
They didn't know when their mistress would be able to enter, nor did they know how long they would have to stay in the palace. The Empress was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Moreover, the empress would certainly not be happy about a man who was competing with her for her husband. It would be good to let the princess temper her temper so that she would listen to them more effectively.
Jingren Palace.
"Princess Hanxiang has arrived—"
The Empress and Shen Nian, who were chatting, stopped talking when they heard the sound coming from outside the palace. They both looked outside the palace with doubt in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, Princess Shen—"
