After talking with Jiugongting for a while, Jiang Jingyue left the Regent's Palace. Before she could return to the Prime Minister's residence, someone stopped her on the road.
When Jiang Jingyue saw the person who had arrived, she couldn't help but frown.
She looked very unhappy, and the person in front of her, seeing her expressionless face, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, Zhan Chengde could only endure it, because he had something to ask the person in front of him and could not offend her.
"Xiaoyue, you went to the Regent's Palace. How did it go? Did the Regent choose you?"
Seeing his expectant look, Jiang Jingyue nodded at him.
"I've been chosen! The Regent said that I'm exactly the kind of person he likes best. Prince Seung is truly a prophet!"
For some reason, Zhan Chengde didn't like Jiang Jingyue talking to him in such a sarcastic way; it made him feel very uncomfortable.
So when Zhan Chengde heard Jiang Jingyue say that, he immediately spoke to her.
"Xiao Yue, I know it was wrong of me to let you get close to the Regent, and I've wronged you. But think about it! It's all for our great cause, so just bear with it."
When Jiang Jingyue heard him say that, she smiled and nodded.
“Brother Prince Cheng, I understand. I was too petty. It was all my fault.”
You yourself said that the Regent is incapable, so he has no way to touch me. All I need to do is stay by his side, is that what you mean, Brother Prince Cheng?
Prince Cheng saw that Jiang Jingyue finally understood his meaning and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, that's the idea. Anyway, Father Emperor said that whoever gives birth to the eldest grandson first will have the throne, so this matter is very easy."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue immediately looked at Zhan Chengde and asked.
"Brother Prince Cheng, have you found someone to have the eldest grandson of the emperor with you?"
Jiang Jingyue's question was rather obvious, and Zhan Chengde felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard it.
But in the end, he nodded.
"Xiaoyue, you know it's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, but I'm worried. I promise you, after you complete the task I assigned you, I will definitely pamper you the most. No one, no matter who they are, can surpass your position in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue pretended to be very surprised and looked at Zhan Chengde.
"Brother Prince Cheng, is what you said true? Will you really dote on Xiaoyue the most? You're not lying to Xiaoyue, are you?"
Although Zhan Chengde was lying to Jiang Jingyue, he certainly couldn't admit it at this moment, so he immediately shook his head.
"You should know how I treat you, Xiao Yue. How could I possibly lie to you?"
When Jiang Jingyue heard Zhan Chengde say that, she finally smiled.
"Alright, since Brother Prince Cheng has said so, then Xiaoyue will believe you. Xiaoyue will definitely complete the task you assigned me well."
Meanwhile, Zhan Beiting, on the other side, was watching the scene unfold from behind. He didn't know how to describe his feelings, so he just stood there without moving.
"Your Highness, why don't we leave? If Miss Jiang sees us, she'll definitely think we..."
Before Su Changde could finish speaking, Zhan Beiting interrupted him.
"Let's wait and see, don't rush, let's see what she's trying to do."
At this moment, Zhan Beiting himself didn't know how to describe the feelings he was experiencing.
I'm just very disappointed.
When Jiang Jingyue saw Prince Cheng about to hug her, she immediately pushed him away.
“Brother Prince Cheng, please don’t be like this. If you keep doing this, Xiaoyue will get angry.”
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's resistance to him, Zhan Chengde felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
The Jiang Jingyue of the past would not have treated him like this.
If he had been willing to hug Jiang Jingyue before, she would have been very happy.
But this time, before he could even touch Jiang Jingyue, she pushed him away.
"Brother Prince Cheng, I have other important matters to attend to. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave now!"
Prince Cheng could now truly feel Jiang Jingyue's indifference towards him. However, he didn't know what was going on, nor did he know how to resolve it.
So in the end, Prince Cheng had no choice but to leave. As he left, he kept looking back at Jiang Jingyue, hoping that she could persuade him to stay.
However, even after he had walked quite a distance, Jiang Jingyue still hadn't spoken, so in a fit of anger, Zhan Chengde left.
After watching him leave, Jiang Jingyue waited a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Come out! Stop hiding, I knew you were hiding all along."
When Zhan Beiting heard this, he didn't react much, but Su Changde stared in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
"Your Highness... what does Miss Jiang mean by this? Has she discovered us? Should we go out?"
Zhan Beiting straightened his clothes, then walked outside and came to Jiang Jingyue's side, asking her a question.
"Yueyue, is what you just said true? Did you only approach me because of Prince Cheng?"
Jiang Jingyue shook her head as she looked at Zhan Beiting's expression.
"Your Highness, what I just said was all a lie to Prince Cheng."
"I don't like him at all, so how could I possibly listen to him? It's only because he's been pestering me that I had no choice but to agree to this."
Upon hearing this, for some reason, Zhan Beiting felt a sense of relief and relaxed completely.
"So, Yueyue, what you just promised him wasn't true, right?"
Seeing Zhan Beiting's excited expression, Jiang Jingyue smiled and nodded at him.
“Your Highness, Prince Cheng has arranged for me to stay with you but not have any children with you. This way, he can give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor ahead of time, and the throne will be his.”
He also said that, since you, Your Highness, are incapable, you pose no threat to him.
After saying this, Jiang Jingyue stared wide-eyed at Zhan Beiting, then asked with some confusion.
"Your Highness, do you...do you know it's not possible? Are you really unable to have children? Have you had any tests done? I love children, so I hope that after being with Your Highness, we can have a child of our own."
So, Your Highness, if you are truly unable to do it, I know an old man who can take a look at you.
