Unfortunately, King Cheng had no interest in her at all. She only went to the palace banquet because she heard that King Cheng was going, and she couldn't wait to follow him into the palace.
Little did she know that she would be drugged by one of King Cheng's admirers and thrown near the forbidden area, because that person knew that anyone who entered the forbidden area would inevitably die.
That was his plan too. As long as Jiang Jingyue went in, she would die. The Emperor would not let anyone who entered the forbidden area go unpunished.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jingyue was lying at home, leisurely eating, as if the events of the past few days had no effect on her at all.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you these past few days? You haven't gone out at all. You usually love to go out and see Cheng Wang, don't you? Why aren't you going out now?"
Seeing that Jiang Jingyue had been staying at home for the past few days and showed no intention of going out, Jiang's mother couldn't help but worry.
The main problem is that her daughter is almost never home.
Because she felt that although Cheng Wang didn't like her now, if she kept hanging around in front of him, he would eventually fall in love with her.
So, rain or shine, she came to the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion every day without fail, waiting for Prince Cheng.
However, Prince Cheng completely ignored her, but Jiang Jingyue didn't care at all. She felt that as long as Prince Cheng was willing to look at her, she would be satisfied.
Jiang Jingyue lay there, listening to her mother's words, and immediately took another grape and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mother, I won't go there anymore, and I don't like Prince Cheng anymore either. Don't worry, Mother!"
Hearing Jiang Jingyue say this, Jiang's mother was stunned and could hardly believe that her daughter would say such a thing.
"Xiaoyue, is what you said true? You really won't like Cheng Wang anymore?"
Jiang's mother never wanted Jiang Jingyue to fall in love with Prince Cheng, but she insisted on it, and Jiang's mother couldn't do anything about it, so she could only let her go. However, she was always disappointed in her daughter.
Now that Jiang Jingyue has said this, Jiang's mother is really surprised and can hardly believe it.
"Mother, this must be true. Where are my elder brother and the others? I'll go and bring them back."
Before Jiang Jingyue fell in love with Prince Cheng, she was always the first to go out and greet her father and brothers whenever they came back.
Tell them that ever since Jiang Jingyue fell in love with Prince Cheng, Jiang's father and the others have no longer received the same treatment as before.
So this time, when they saw their daughter (sister) standing there waiting for them, Mr. Jiang and his brothers were all stunned.
"Dad, I think I'm seeing things. I suddenly feel like I can see my sister waiting for us up ahead."
"Fifth brother, I think I'm seeing things too. The person in front of me looks like our sister."
But that's impossible. Xiaoyue hasn't come to wait for us in so long; we must be overthinking it.
As she watched this large group of people walk past her, seemingly without noticing her, Jiang Jingyue grew anxious.
"Father, brothers, you saw me, why didn't you pay attention to me?"
Mr. Jiang initially couldn't believe it, but when he heard Jiang Jingyue's voice...
He couldn't help but turn around and look at that person.
"Father, it really does seem to be our sister."
The eldest brother immediately went to Jiang Jingyue's side and carefully examined her.
There was an emotion in that look that Jiang Jingyue couldn't understand.
He reached out and touched Jiang Jingyue's head, asking anxiously.
"Yueyue, what's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you here at this hour?"
Yes! Jiang Jingyue's sudden appearance here at this time is obviously very strange.
She would never normally show up at this time!
"Xiaoyue, were you bullied? Tell your father, and I will definitely help you get revenge."
Jiang Jingyue shook her head as she looked at her father's worried expression.
"Father, don't worry! Xiaoyue is fine. Xiaoyue just suddenly realized that since Prince Cheng doesn't like me, why should I keep bothering him?"
Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but nod.
"It's good that you've come to your senses. Now that you've come to your senses, your father is relieved. Don't worry, your father will definitely help you find a suitable husband."
Hearing what her father said, Jiang Jingyue shook her head.
"No need, Father. This matter can't be rushed."
Of course, there's no need to rush; she already has a suitable target for her pursuit.
However, this matter cannot be told to Jiang's father, because if it were told to him, she would definitely not agree.
Jiang's father always said that King Cheng was an old man, while the current emperor was two years older than King Cheng.
If he knew that Jiang Jingyue was currently trying to win over the current emperor, Jiang Jingyue wouldn't even need to think about it; her father would definitely be furious.
Moreover, Jiang Jingyue could guarantee that if her father found out about this, he would definitely be angry.
Therefore, Jiang Jingyue knew that the best time to tell her parents was after she had confirmed her relationship with the Emperor, so that her father wouldn't be too angry.
"Father, if there's nothing else, Xiaoyue will go back to rest now."
Father Jiang nodded, watching Jiang Jingyue skip and hop into the house.
He couldn't help but smile. As long as Jiang Jingyue didn't go looking for Prince Cheng, he could rest assured.
However, Mr. Jiang's peace of mind only lasted for about ten days. At the beginning, he was happy to see that Jiang Jingyue stayed at home and did not run out every day as before.
Because every time I ran away before, it was to find that man. Now that I'm not going out, I definitely won't be looking for that man.
The thought that Jiang Jingyue would no longer have any contact with Prince Cheng made Jiang's father extremely happy.
However, seeing Jiang Jingyue spending all her time in the mansion these past few days, he started to worry again.
The main reason was that Jiang Jingyue was lying at home every day, without any desire to go out. Jiang's father suspected that she was in this state because she was too heartbroken.
Fearing that Jiang Jingyue would get sick from holding it in, he had no choice but to call his sons over to discuss what was going on.
"Father, do you think my little sister is heartbroken? What should we do now? She doesn't even want to leave the house."
Father Jiang called them all over so that they could discuss what good ideas they might have.
If he knew what to do, why would he need to call them all back?
