However, at this time, Zhan Chengde didn't care much about this matter, so he just shook his head and ignored it.
The main reason is that he felt this matter was unimportant.
Because of this incident, he was unable to accept it even after he came to terms with it.
At this moment, Zhan Chengde looked at Jiang Jingyue in front of him and was somewhat indignant. He felt that he had already discussed this matter with Jiang Jingyue, so why did she suddenly go back on her word at the last minute?
So he immediately yelled at Jiang Jingyue in front of him.
"Jiang Jingyue, how could you do this? You clearly agreed to this a while ago, why are you suddenly regretting it now?"
After saying this, Zhan Chengde suddenly rushed to Jiang Jingyue and reached out to pull her up.
Jiang Jingyue looked at his outstretched hand and subconsciously took a few steps back.
This just happened to cause Zhan Chengde's hand to miss its target.
At this moment, Zhan Chengde was thinking about only one thing: he definitely needed Jiang Jingyue to continue to help, otherwise he wouldn't be able to know what was happening in the Regent's Palace in a timely manner.
So when he saw Jiang Jingyue's action, he wasn't annoyed; instead, he smiled and looked at her.
"Xiao Yue, tell me, has someone threatened you? If someone has, I will definitely protect you."
Jiang Jingyue smiled when she saw that he still didn't believe her.
"How could anyone threaten me? No one can threaten me about things I don't like to do. Besides, who would threaten me?"
Looking at Jiang Jingyue's serious expression, Zhan Chengde was momentarily at a loss for words.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Jiaorou beside him and gesture to her.
Zhao Jiaorou knew what Zhan Chengde meant, but she just couldn't accept it.
Seeing that she didn't react, Zhan Chengde immediately nudged her.
"Jiaojiao, didn't you want to tell your sister something? She's right here. Hurry up and tell her! Tell her what you told her last time, it was just a joke. Hurry up and tell her."
Unfortunately, Zhan Chengde kept gesturing to Zhao Jiaorou, and she couldn't pretend not to see it.
So in the end, Zhao Jiaorou could only speak to Jiang Jingyue.
"That's right, Xiaoyue, didn't you tell me before that you would only ever love Prince Cheng? Why are you unwilling to do even a small favor for him now?"
Have you forgotten? Prince Cheng said that as long as you complete your mission, he will definitely bring you into his manor. At that time, we will be true sisters.
After Zhao Jiaorou finished speaking, she tried to reach out to pull Jiang Jingyue, but Jiang Jingyue dodged her.
"There's no need. I'll definitely have a better life if I follow the Regent."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaorou immediately retorted.
"Sister, have you forgotten just how cruel that regent is? If you stay with him, he will definitely not let you go. Have you forgotten how his two previous wives died?"
Jiang Jingyue was indeed curious about this matter, so she couldn't help but look at the person sitting quietly beside her.
Zhan Beiting immediately tried to stand up, but Jiang Jingyue stopped him.
She wanted to take a closer look at what these two people were up to.
I didn't expect them to say so much as soon as they opened their mouths.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Beiting could no longer remain seated.
He suddenly stood up and spoke to Jiang Jingyue somewhat anxiously.
"Yueyue, I will explain this to you slowly later. Don't listen to their nonsense."
The moment Zhan Chengde saw Zhan Beiting, he was startled.
He never expected that Zhan Beiting would be by Jiang Jingyue's side.
Right now, he's at a loss, completely unsure of what to do.
Zhan Beiting turned around and glanced at Zhan Chengde indifferently.
That one glance startled Zhan Chengde.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what are you doing here? What I just said was just a joke with Xiaoyue. Please don't take it to heart."
This is all a misunderstanding, don't overthink it.
Zhan Chengde didn't even notice that his eagerness to explain only made people more suspicious of him.
Because of his appearance, people get the feeling that he's trying to hide something obvious.
Zhan Beiting looked at him like that, and Zhan Chengde couldn't stand it any longer. The main reason was that his elder brother's aura was really too strong, and he couldn't resist it at all.
So he immediately spoke to Zhan Beiting.
"Your Majesty, I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Zhang Chengde pulled Zhao Jiaorou and prepared to leave.
However, after he talked for a while, Zhao Jiaorou still didn't react.
He couldn't help but look up at Zhao Jiaorou.
He suddenly noticed that Zhao Jiaorou was staring blankly at Zhan Beiting in front of her.
Seeing her like this, Zhan Chengde was furious.
With a single pull, he yanked the person over.
Zhao Jiaorou was staring blankly at Zhan Beiting, mainly because she hadn't expected this regent to be so handsome. She had never seen such a good-looking man before.
The moment Zhao Jiaorou saw the Regent, she suddenly felt that Prince Cheng was quite ugly.
If Prince Cheng hadn't pulled her like that, Zhao Jiaorou probably wouldn't have come to her senses yet.
After she realized what was happening, she saw Zhan Chengde's unpleasant expression and couldn't help but speak up.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Has something happened?"
"Now that we've met the Regent and his sister, shouldn't we sit down and have a good chat with them to strengthen our relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Chengde almost couldn't help but sneer.
He and Zhan Beiting had absolutely no feelings to share; they had always been irreconcilable enemies, so how could they possibly have a conversation?
He wanted nothing more than to kill Zhan Beiting right in front of him, but he didn't dare; he could only think about it in his heart.
So when he heard Zhao Jiaorou say that, he didn't say anything more, but turned around and left immediately.
Since Zhao Jiaorou wants to stay, then let her stay.
Zhao Jiaorou hadn't expected Zhan Chengde to leave like this.
