The next day, when the rain stopped, they hurried back to the Crown Prince's residence.
"Your Highness." Wan Ge bowed obediently, but her face looked blank.
Qin An immediately stepped forward to help her up, his face filled with joy, but when his gaze fell on her face, it was filled with heartache: "What happened to the Crown Princess? Why were you injured?"
At this moment, Shu Jiqing knelt down and said, "It's all Jiqing's fault. I thought that my cousin, the Crown Prince, was so worried about his sister-in-law that he fell ill. He must have been eager to see her. I rushed to travel at night, which caused the carriage to go out of control and my sister-in-law to get injured."
“I know that my cousin Jiqing also wants to make me happy, but it’s not safe to walk at night. It rained last night. What would I do if you and the Crown Princess got hurt?” Qin An’s eyes were filled with reproach, but his tone was gentle.
While showing his special affection for the evening songs, he also revealed his kind and warm side.
Wan Ge thought to herself, "It's such a pity that the Crown Prince couldn't be an actor in modern times. His expressions and actions are so realistic. If he didn't have the original owner's memories and didn't know the plot, he might have really been fooled by him."
Sure enough, the palace maids standing nearby were filled with envy.
The palace maids outside the door were whispering among themselves: "I told you the rumors outside were pure nonsense. His Highness the Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess so much, how could he possibly have homosexual tendencies? People these days really dare to say anything."
"Isn't that right? You and I know better than anyone how the Crown Prince has treated the Crown Princess these past two years. Those rumors are really going too far."
The Crown Prince, having studied both literature and martial arts since childhood, possessed exceptionally keen hearing. He naturally overheard the palace maids' conversation and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Ji Qing will remember this and will not do it again."
"Never mind, you didn't do it on purpose. By the way, your uncle and aunt sent someone to tell you that they miss you. Stay for two more days to catch up with your cousin-in-law before going home."
"yes."
"By the way, Ge'er, I went out on official business a few days ago and brought you a gift. Let's go back to the room and show it to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"We're husband and wife, there's no need for thanks. Let's go." Qin An grabbed his sleeve and headed towards the room.
Wan Ge glanced down and saw that the other person was becoming increasingly resistant to the woman, and didn't even want to hold her hand anymore. But that was fine, as Wan Ge didn't want to have too much physical contact with him.
…
After returning to his room, Qin An immediately closed the door, while Xiao Ning and the other palace maids remained outside.
Qin An's bedroom was made of special materials, so it was impossible to hear anything unless you were very loud.
The palace maids outside the door were all chuckling. What treasure could His Highness the Crown Prince possibly have to show the Crown Princess? And why were the doors and windows so tightly shut? It was probably because His Highness missed the Crown Princess terribly, and upon seeing her return, he couldn't resist wanting to do something lewd with her.
Xiao Ning was extremely worried. She definitely believed Wan Ge, so she didn't think Wan Ge would lie. Since she said that, then His Highness the Crown Prince must have done something bad to her.
She hadn't suspected so much before, probably thinking the same thing as the palace maids. But now that she knew the Crown Prince didn't like women at all, and considering that the doors and windows were always tightly closed and no one was needed to stand guard, Xiao Ning felt increasingly strange. So, was it always the young lady who suffered during these times?
