With a scream, Murong Lie's mind was finally awakened.
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them sat facing each other.
"Your Highness, why did you do this?"
Jiang Tian's emotions are usually stable, but now they are not.
She looked as if she had been severely shocked.
That is indeed the case.
Murong Lie felt utterly ashamed.
He had no bad intentions at all; he just wanted to play a prank and scare the palace maid.
Who would have thought things would turn out this way?
Murong Lie looked at Jiang Tian, recalling those indescribable impulses, and her snow-white skin, and his ears silently turned red.
He didn't answer Jiang Tian, but instead asked her seriously, "How have you been lately? Have you been doing well?"
Jiang Tian seemed to be simple-minded, but when he asked her a question, her mind went astray.
"It's great. The food and accommodation are both good. I have my own room now. Before, I slept in a dormitory with other people."
Jiang Tian's reply was neither hurried nor slow.
She seems quite content with her current life.
This is a bit tricky.
Murong Lie couldn't help but scratch his head: "Then you have no ambition. What's the point of being a palace maid here?"
Jiang Tian looked at him with some surprise: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean."
"What I mean is that I'm short of palace maids again. Why don't you go back? It's not convenient for me to use someone else, after all, you know my illness best."
Murong Lie spoke these words very fluently and earnestly, as if that was truly his thought.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
The two stared at each other for a long time.
"What's wrong? You're still not satisfied with going back? Do you want to live out your days alone here? Do you know what the rules are here? As my woman, if you weren't with me, no one would care about you. Other palace maids can leave the palace, but you can't. A wise person knows when to yield. You should have known what to do a long time ago."
Murong Lie spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.
Jiang Tian suddenly fell silent.
There was an indescribable sadness about her whole being.
After a long while, she seemed to have made up her mind and nodded silently: "I understand what Your Highness means. Don't worry, I will go back in a few days."
"Why wait a few days? Can't we go back today?"
Murong Lie still seemed quite dissatisfied.
“Because I also have my own things to take care of, I originally thought I would be staying here for a long time, so I took on some work. If I don’t finish it and pass it on to others, they will scold me.”
Murong Lie remained silent.
This woman is sometimes skilled and sometimes not. Can't she delegate her work to someone else?
It seems she had no intention of doing so at all.
Murong Lie thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you seven days. Come back quickly, or I'll come to find you myself."
"But Your Highness, why do you want me to go back? You know perfectly well that I have no strengths, I am careless in my work, and I am not good-looking at all. Serving you in the Eastern Palace would be a disgrace to you."
Murong Lie couldn't help but sneer: "You seem to know yourself quite well. Well then, I'll tell you the truth. I'm also quite sentimental. My mother kept telling me to come and take you back. I couldn't bear to part with her loving motherly heart, so I had no choice but to come back to find you. Are you satisfied with this reason now?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. I have seen the Empress's concern for you, but if you don't let me go back, she certainly won't say anything. You are the Empress's only son, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. There is no need for you to compromise for a mere palace maid like me."
Jiang Tian spoke with such righteous indignation.
Murong Lie's face was extremely ugly: "What am I supposed to do? Do I have to obey your orders? I'm willing to let you come back, so come back right now. Don't say things you shouldn't say, things that are offensive."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will return in a few days."
Seeing that she was silent, Murong Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His heart is still pounding after witnessing what he just saw.
If he hadn't hidden it so well, the palace maid would definitely have noticed something was wrong.
As for why he wanted her to go back, that naturally requires some investigation.
What is it about this woman that makes him react to all sorts of strange and unusual things?
He needs to investigate this thoroughly.
It's strange that he doesn't feel any ill will towards her in this life, considering she killed him in his past life.
Jiang Tian returned to serve the Crown Prince.
When this news came out, many people said they had guessed correctly.
Jiang Tian said that she and the Crown Prince were in a cold war, and cold wars always have a good time. When the two of them are reconciled, she will definitely go back to serve the Crown Prince.
Now it seems that I was right.
When Jiang Tian returned, she received a warm welcome from the palace maids and eunuchs.
In this opportunistic Eastern Palace, Jiang Tian's position was further solidified.
Previously, people had some doubts about her being the Crown Prince's woman, but now there's not a single doubt left.
After being neglected, she was able to return to the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Prince. If she wasn't the Crown Prince's woman, would that make sense?
Jiang Tian's life became better again.
Her life became easier, but Murong Lie's life became less so.
He simply couldn't understand why he felt an inexplicable fondness for this woman, who was so unremarkable.
This is not right, he told himself.
But it's pointless to say anything.
It's inherently difficult to fathom when one person has feelings for another.
His Highness the Crown Prince is now desperately resisting these feelings; he doesn't want them to affect him.
After all, for him, if one wants to gain the greatest advantage on the throne, one must at least not do things that shouldn't be done.
For example, being attentive to a woman.
Murong Lie was desperately resisting his senses.
He didn't think this feeling was right, because he had never had any feelings for a woman in his past life.
He brought this woman back to see if she had drugged him.
If there were no other issues, they were clearly strangers.
Perhaps they are also enemies.
But it was precisely at this critical juncture that he took it to heart.
Murong Lie's inner struggle was completely unknown to others.
When the Empress heard that he had called the palace maid back again, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
In her opinion, her son had feelings for this woman.
Now that she's set her mind on it, how far away can her future grandchildren be?
Gu Qinyao was completely unaware that her target had developed some unusual feelings for another woman.
She's been busy with beauty and skincare lately, she's been incredibly busy.
After all, people say that a woman's looks are what make her attractive.
If she didn't have enough good looks, how could she have won over the high and mighty Crown Prince?
