Zhao Jingyi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have already visited my grandfather, and he has almost recovered. I would like to return to the Prince's residence."
In front of so many people, Zhao Jingyi dared not say it outright, so she could only hint in this way that she had obtained the Yunshao jade pendant.
Yun Shao understood, and his gaze toward Zhao Jingyi softened. "Yi'er, I see that Grandfather's face is still a little pale. Why don't you serve Grandfather a little longer, and I'll come to pick you up from the manor in a few days?"
Zhao Jingyi was stunned. Yun Shao understood what she meant, but he still wouldn't let her return to the manor. Why was that?
But she had been by Yun Shao's side for a long time and knew his character. If she dared to say a word against the decisions he made, she would suffer when she returned to the manor.
Zhao Jingyi dared not say anything more, and could only lower her head and reply, "This concubine understands."
Yun Shao didn't care what Zhao Jingyi was thinking. He looked at Su Ruojin and extended an invitation, "Princess, you're new to Yun City, so you're probably not very familiar with it yet. How about I show you around Yun City these next few days and let me be your host?"
Zhao Jingyi suddenly raised her head, her eyes widening instantly as she looked at Su Ruojin in disbelief.
What does the Third Prince call Su Ruojin?
Princess?
Princess!!!
Is she really a princess?!
The Third Prince wouldn't say something like that, so Su Ruojin really is a princess!
Zhao Jingyi thought about how she would have to lower her head whenever she saw Su Ruojin in the future, and she clenched her handkerchief tightly in both hands.
Also, why did the Third Prince take her to tour Yun City?
Seeing the way Yun Shao looked at Su Ruojin, Zhao Jingyi, as a woman, understood perfectly well.
The Third Prince has feelings for Su Ruojin!
How can this be!
A sense of crisis arose in Zhao Jingyi's heart.
If Su Ruojin were to enter the Third Prince's residence with her looks, would she still be able to maintain her position?
Can't!
Absolutely not!
Zhao Jingyi then caught a glimpse of Steward Lu, who was standing to the side, and a thought struck her.
She had previously thought that if Su Ruojin gave the jade pendant to her grandfather, perhaps she wouldn't have to take her life. But now it seems that Su Ruojin is doomed to die, for daring to seduce the Third Prince!
Su Ruojin didn't care what Zhao Jingyi was thinking. She looked at Yun Shao and calmly replied, "I dare not trouble the Third Prince. The Third Prince also knows that my maternal grandfather is not in good health. It is rare for me to come to Yunqi, so I should serve my maternal grandfather. After my maternal grandfather's health improves, I should return to Da Chu with my grandmother."
Yun Shao was not annoyed by the rejection. "My concubine is my grandfather's granddaughter. With her taking care of her, Princess Chang Le can rest assured. If the princess is still worried, I can also have the imperial physicians come to the Zhao residence to be on call at any time. How about that?"
Zhao Guangtao and Zhao Jingning watched Su Ruojin with concern. Yun Shao was, after all, the Third Prince. If Su Ruojin refused too harshly, it might be detrimental to her.
Before Su Ruojin could say anything, Yun Shao spoke again, but this time he was speaking to Zhao Guangtao.
“Grandfather, Princess Chang Le has not been in Yunqi for long. After she leaves, if you need anything, please send someone to the manor to find me. I will do my best to help.”
A cold glint flashed in Su Ruojin's eyes. Yun Shao's words, seemingly addressed to her grandfather, were actually a warning to her.
If she doesn't give Yun Shao face, once she returns to Da Chu, Yun Shao, as the third prince, will naturally have ways to deal with the Zhao family.
If it were just Su Ruojin herself, as the Princess of Great Chu, she wouldn't need to give Yun Shao any face. Would Yun Shao dare to provoke a conflict between the two countries just because she refused?
He would be despised by all the people of Yunqi, and how could he possibly ascend to that position?
