What a joke... On what grounds?
She didn't want to go to the north, nor did she want to help the Crown Prince protect Princess Ningding.
What is her relationship with Princess Ningding?
She stayed in the Eastern Palace for the sake of the Crown Prince, but now that the Crown Prince doesn't want her anymore, why should she still think about him?
You Jiang is a stubborn woman; once she makes a decision, it's hard to change it.
She was adamant, but Ah Heng was shameless. He smiled and said, "You Jiang... didn't His Highness the Crown Prince instruct you to send a message to Princess Ningding? Since you're leaving anyway, it doesn't matter where you go."
"Then go to the North first and deliver His Highness the Crown Prince's message. After all, we've known each other for a while, and there's still some friendship between us. You can consider this one last time helping His Highness the Crown Prince; it will be a satisfactory conclusion."
"What a load of rubbish about perfection!"
Youjiang couldn't help but want to spit at him. After glaring at Aheng, she quickly left, and finally jogged away, leaving Aheng behind.
Ah Heng watched her departing figure, shook her head helplessly, and turned to find the Crown Prince. As soon as she entered, she saw His Highness sitting there as if he had lost his soul.
Ah Heng sighed heavily, and said with some reluctance, "Your Highness...why do you have to do this?"
The Crown Prince gave a bitter smile, looking exhausted. "I can't explain it either, but I really don't know what to do with Youjiang. I can only let her go!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Heng sighed softly, unsure how to comfort her, and remained silent.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashing in his eyes, but finally decided to speak, "Your Highness, have you considered sending a secret guard to follow Youjiang in secret to ensure her safety? In this way, we can keep track of her whereabouts at any time."
The prince's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope, but that light quickly faded. He gently shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and resolve, "No need... Let everything end here..."
He understood that sending someone to follow Youjiang would only complicate their relationship and make it even harder for him to let go.
He didn't want to get caught up in this entanglement and pain anymore; he just wanted to bury this relationship deep in his heart and never touch it again.
Therefore, he chose to give up, to let go, and to end the relationship.

On the other side, Youjiang drove all the way out of the East Palace and smoothly exited the palace gate.
Standing at the palace gate for a while, not seeing the Crown Prince, You Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Rong Sheng, you're really something!"
You'll regret it!
Not wanting to waste any more time, You Jiang left decisively.
The Crown Prince's decision to send her away was so sudden that Youjiang was caught off guard and didn't know where to go. In the end, she could only find an inn to stay at.
At night, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She thought for a long time but still didn't know where to go next.
Before she was fifteen, she had traveled to many places with her parents and seen the beautiful landscapes of her motherland; and in recent years, following the Crown Prince, she has also experienced the prosperity of the world.
After thinking it over, she realized that she didn't actually have any particular desires or pursuits.
You Jiang lay quietly on the soft bed, the two choices the Crown Prince had mentioned during the day echoing in her mind.
She knew that this seemed to be an unavoidable problem, and she could only make a difficult decision.
Sigh... In the end, she silently said to herself, "Go to the North..."
In this way, she can not only protect Princess Ningding, but also safeguard the people and things that the Crown Prince cherishes on this land.
Although we will never see each other again, at least I can protect the people he cares about.
Moreover, given Princess Ningding's decisiveness and courage, it might be more comfortable and pleasant to follow her than to stay by the Crown Prince's side.
All right……
Let everything take its natural course...
Youjiang sighed softly, then slowly closed her eyes, allowing her weary body and mind a moment of peace.
The next morning, Yu Jiang resolutely embarked on his journey to the north.
She traveled north, and after Aheng learned of Youjiang's actions, she immediately relayed the news to Aying.
Ah Heng knew that although his master appeared indifferent on the surface, he was probably suffering greatly inside. Therefore, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Instruct Aying to prepare in advance for Youjiang's arrival and to report the matter to Princess Ningding.
He believed that his future owner would be grateful for everything he was doing now.
He embarked on his journey alone, traveling day and night without complaint.
After nine days of arduous travel, she finally arrived at Kangye City.
When she arrived at the city gate, she found that Ah Ying had been waiting there for a long time.
She received a letter from Aheng a few days ago and then relayed it to Rong Ning.
Rong Ning didn't say anything at the time, only asking A Ying to find out when You Jiang would arrive in Kangye City, and to bring him back once he arrived.
After several days of travel, Youjiang looked quite disheveled. When she saw Aying coming to greet her, she dismounted and said gently, "Greetings, Miss Aying."
Aying smiled and nodded, quickly walking to her side and offering to lead her horse. She said, "Sister Youjiang, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Aying. Her Highness the Princess is already waiting for you in the city. Let's hurry..."
You Jiang smiled and then followed A Ying into the city.
As they walked, Aying spoke to her, "Sister Youjiang, you must have had a long journey. Did you encounter any trouble?"
Youjiang shook his head. "No, it was just a bit bumpy on the road."
Hearing this, Aying said with concern, "You must be very tired. Take a good rest when you see Her Highness the Princess later."
