Chapter 465 Doing What We Should Have Done
Chang Le Palace.
When Jiang Wan Ning heard that Yan Chang Feng had taken a woman into his harem, she felt that the harem couldn't remain just a shell for her forever.
“Your Majesty, this woman was presented to the King by the military governor; she is not the one the King desires,” Rong Pei said.
“Granny, what you say is true, but in the past, when ministers tried to offer the king beautiful women, the king always refused.”
Another palace maid, while removing Jiang Wan Ning's makeup, said preemptively, "This servant thinks that the King seems to have truly fallen for this woman this time."
“What do you, a mere maid, know? How could the King’s love for the Empress change so easily?” Rong Pei said deliberately.
"I only heard people outside talking about it, saying that the woman the governor presented today is very beautiful." The little palace maid said, glancing at Jiang Wan Ning. "Of course, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as our Lady."
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to these little maids' nonsense. The King must have his own difficulties."
"This old servant believes that the King's feelings for the Queen are not something that just anyone can interfere with."
"Granny, you don't know, I secretly glanced at that woman, and she was very alluring. I'm afraid she might use some seductive tricks."
The young palace maid said, "I've heard that some women specialize in learning these seductive tricks. Even ordinary women can't resist them, let alone men."
"Her Majesty is pregnant, and the King has been... "
The young palace maid hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "Your Majesty, how about we think of a way to lure the King to our Chang Le Palace?"
Granny Rongpei glanced at Jiang Wanning, and seeing that Jiang Wanning had no expression, she pretended to be angry and scolded the little palace maid, "Who gave you the guts?"
"How dare you speak to Her Majesty like that?"
"It was my fault, I was wrong." The little palace maid immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, this little maid is still young. Please forgive her this time, considering it's her first offense. This old servant will definitely discipline her properly so she won't gossip or give Your Majesty any bad advice."
Jiang Wan Ning played with a strand of her hair and said to Rong Pei with a smile, "Granny, you can go down now."
"I'm tired, I need to rest."
“Since the king has found another woman, then he should not come to Chang Le Palace for the time being. I want to take good care of my pregnancy, so I will let that other woman take good care of the king.”
“Also,” Jiang Wan Ning said calmly, “next time, just say what you have to say directly. There’s no need to put on an act in front of me.”
"If the king wants to fill his harem, that's his business."
Upon hearing Jiang Wan Ning's words, Rong Pei immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, this old servant dares not."
"Next time you hire someone to act, you can find someone who is naturally talkative. I met this little girl once during the day, and she wasn't that talkative."
"Alright, you may all leave."
Jiang Wan Ning went to bed, covered herself with the blanket, and prepared to rest.
She didn't know why, but when she heard that Yan Changfeng had found another woman, she didn't feel sad or upset at all. According to them, she should have been sad.
But she couldn't lie to her own heart; she wasn't sad.
All she wants now is to give birth to her baby safely.
For some reason, she always wanted to go to Dongling. It seemed that she would have to leave the palace in a couple of days to investigate herself, since the palace was full of Yan Changfeng's people.
Seeing this, Rong Pei had no choice but to tell Yan Changfeng everything.
Yan Changfeng returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Jiang Wan Ning really didn't care at all, even though she had arranged for the woman to be next to Chang Le Palace and she almost went inside.
The fact that she doesn't care about the outcome only shows that she doesn't care about herself and doesn't have herself in her heart.
Even though she has lost her memory, why can't I win her heart?
Yan Changfeng slammed the memorial in his hand shut in frustration, stood up and said, "Prepare the carriage for Chang Le Palace."
"Your Majesty, the Queen is probably already asleep."
Normally, if Yan Changfeng heard that Jiang Wan Ning was asleep, he would not disturb her. But today, Yan Changfeng felt uneasy.
He picked up the wine jug beside him and took a big gulp, saying, "I say I'll set off for Chang Le Palace."
Rong Pei dared not stop them any longer, and the old eunuch beside Yan Changfeng immediately went out to order someone to bring the imperial carriage.
Yan Changfeng drank cold wine all the way to Chang Le Palace. He hesitated for a moment at the palace gate before stepping inside.
Jiang Wan Ning was just about to fall asleep. Martial artists are naturally more sensitive to sound, and she sat up when Yan Chang Feng pounced on her.
Yan Changfeng walked to the bedside, paused, then turned back and lit all the candles in the room before softly calling, "Ningning."
Jiang Wan Ning smelled alcohol and frowned slightly. "Have you had too much to drink?"
"Weren't you supposed to be at Anle Palace? Why didn't you rest properly and instead came here?"
Jiang Wan Ning put on her clothes as she spoke.
When Yan Changfeng heard Jiang Wanning calmly talking about the Anle Palace, his previously calmed emotions surged back to his head.
Frustrated and angry, he thought, "Anle Palace, Anle Palace, is this how you wish for me to be with other women?"
For the first time, Yan Changfeng lost control and shouted at Jiang Wanning, "Haven't you felt anything for me all this time?"
Yan Changfeng rushed forward, saying, "Tell me, what do I have to do to earn a place for me in your heart?"
"Tell me, please?" Yan Changfeng grabbed Jiang Wanning's arm.
Jiang Wan Ning raised her hand to push him away, but Yan Chang Feng lost control and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "Why? Why?"
Why are you so cold to me?
"All I want is a little bit of your love, can't you even give me a little?"
"Tell me, what else do I need to do? What do I need to do to earn a place in your heart?"
Jiang Wan Ning felt a little uncomfortable being hugged so tightly. "Let me go first."
Yan Changfeng not only didn't let go, but hugged her even tighter. "Tell me, what do I have to do for you to care about me?"
"I'm very uncomfortable with you like this. Could you please let go of me?" Jiang Wan Ning pushed Yan Chang Feng away forcefully.
Yan Changfeng gripped Jiang Wan Ning's arm tightly, losing control. Looking at her slightly furrowed brow, he felt a pang of loss and sorrow.
The next moment,
Without hesitation, Yan Changfeng bent down, picked up Jiang Wanning, and carried her to the bedside.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wan Ning asked in surprise.
Yan Changfeng said calmly, "Naturally, we should do what we are supposed to do."
"Don't worry, I've already consulted the imperial physician, and it's fine now that you've passed the three-month mark."
Although Yan Changfeng felt uncomfortable looking at Jiang Wan Ning's slightly protruding belly, he endured it for her sake, saying, "I will be careful."
As long as Jiang Wan Ning truly becomes his person, he won't care even if she regains her memories and blames him later.
Maybe because of this, she won't be with Pei Yanchuan anymore.
The child in her womb could be Pei Yanchuan's, or it could be Yan Changfeng's.
"Are you crazy?" Jiang Wan Ning pushed Yan Chang Feng away forcefully.
Just as Yan Changfeng was about to pounce again, Jiang Wanning had already pressed a knife against her own neck. "Get out!"
Yan Changfeng was afraid that Jiang Wanning would really hurt him, and he sobered up a lot in an instant. "Ningning, don't be impulsive. I'll go out. I'll go out right now."
Yan Changfeng obediently went out.
Jiang Wan Ning then put down the dagger in her hand. Fortunately, she had placed a dagger under her pillow because she was feeling uneasy.
In the following days,
Jiang Wan Ning did not leave Chang Le Palace, nor did she send Yan Chang Feng over.
