After waking up, He Xue habitually touched the side beside her, but no one was there.
He Xue struggled to regain her senses. "Where did the Crown Prince go?"
After Xue stood up, she exclaimed, "Qingdai!"
Hearing He Xue's voice, Qingdai pushed open the door and came in. "Your Highness, you're awake?"
"Hmm, where is the Crown Prince?" He Xue asked.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to his study!"
"The study?" He Xue thought the Crown Prince was probably still bothered by Kangxi's suspicions about him. [The Crown Prince's ability to handle setbacks is terrible. Is he really going to stay up all night just because of one sentence? It's my fault for not noticing his unusual behavior!]
"Come with me to take a look!" He Xue said.
Qingdai draped a cloak over Hexue's shoulders and then led the way for her, carrying a lantern.
Upon arriving at the study, He Xue went straight in and saw the Crown Prince sitting at his desk, seemingly lost in thought.
"Brother Crown Prince!"
The crown prince only came to his senses upon hearing the voice. "Why are you here?"
"I woke up and didn't see you, so I was worried about you and came to check on you!" He Xue said truthfully.
The Crown Prince felt a warmth in his heart and took He Xue's hand, saying, "It's alright, there are just some things I haven't figured out yet."
He Xue looked at the Crown Prince, "Crown Prince, is it because Father Emperor suspected you today?"
"Yes!" The Crown Prince beckoned to He Xue, and after He Xue came over, he pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his lap.
"Brother Crown Prince, Father Emperor was only temporarily provoked; he still trusts you!"
"I know, I'm worried that one day Father Emperor will run out of trust in me, and what will happen to the people behind me! Especially you!" The Crown Prince knew that if something happened to him, He Xue would be the first to be implicated.
“Brother Crown Prince, I’m not afraid. No matter what happens, I will face it with you!” He Xue said with a firm look in her eyes.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with emotion, "Your brother said he would protect you, and he will protect you for the rest of his life!" If that day ever comes, he will definitely arrange everything for He Xue.
He Xue stood up angrily from the Crown Prince's lap. "What do you mean by that? Why don't you give me a divorce agreement right now?"
He Xue suddenly smiled charmingly, "Your Highness, what do you think the Eighth Prince will do if I take this divorce agreement to him? Will he marry me?"
He Xue tilted her head and thought for a moment, completely ignoring the Crown Prince's increasingly dark face.
“No, Eighth Prince. He’s already married Tana. I can’t ruin Tana’s life.”
I think I should let my father pick a few from his subordinates. After all, with my father around, they wouldn't dare to bully me.
If all else fails, I'll go to Jiangnan or Fujian, there..."
Before He Xue could finish speaking, the Crown Prince pulled her back into his arms and kissed her incessantly chattering lips fiercely.
He Xue bit the prince's lips hard until she felt a metallic taste in her mouth before letting go. Sure enough, there was a bright red mark on the prince's lips.
The prince wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "I haven't even said anything yet, why are you already angry?"
"I know what you're thinking. Don't even think about getting rid of me. You provoked me first, so you have to take responsibility for me!" He Xue said through tears.
The prince gently wiped away He Xue's tears, "How could I leave you? You must always stay with me!"
"Crown Prince, no matter what your status is, you are my man. I will never leave you. I can share your joys and your sorrows! I will be with you through life and death, and never abandon you!"
"Alright, we'll be together through thick and thin, never to be separated!" the Crown Prince said, looking at He Xue.
"Brother Crown Prince, what do you plan to do next?" He Xue asked.
"Didn't we say we'd take you to the estate? Let's go tomorrow!"
"Would Father Emperor agree?" He Xue knew that Kangxi had now handed over most of the political affairs to the Crown Prince, and Kangxi would definitely not let the Crown Prince leave easily. The main reason was that if the Crown Prince left, everything would fall under Kangxi's control.
Moreover, Suo'etu's wife is bringing the Xu Yan sisters to Yuqing Palace tomorrow, so she probably won't be able to leave either.
