Chapter 136: Prince Song's old memories come back

After sinking into a deep breath, Prince Song woke up from his dream.

Zhao Yuyan, who was sleeping next to him, was also woken up. Seeing beads of sweat on his forehead, she asked anxiously.

"Is the prince having a nightmare?"

Was it a nightmare? Prince Song was not sure. If it was really a dream, why was it so clear?

"You go to bed first. I'll go to the study to take a rest."

"I'll go with you, Prince. I'm really worried about you being like this."

For Prince Song, Zhao Yuyan's value has always been greater than her emotions. He was once truly infatuated with her beauty, but now with many family interests involved, even her emotions have become less pure.

Therefore, I don't want her to follow me at this time.

"No need, go to sleep first."

After saying that, he stood up, put on his clothes and left. He was so determined when he left. Zhao Yuyan didn't know what had happened. She and the prince had always had a good relationship during this period of time. Naturally, she felt a little uneasy when it suddenly became like this.

"Tan Di."

"The servant is here."

"Go find someone to follow the prince and see if he has entered the study."

"Does the concubine suspect that the Crown Prince wants to find the Crown Prince's wife?"

"Who knows? After all, the two of them had a friendship. If it was just so easy to break up, I would be a little scared."

Hearing what Zhao Yuyan said, the maid Tan Shi nodded and then went to make arrangements.

They were not married alone like Jiang Shijin, so people could be found quickly. After everything was arranged, Zhao Yuyan was still lying down, but she couldn't sleep.

Outside, it was dark and windy.

Prince Song walked along the corridor and unconsciously came to the courtyard where Jiang Shijin was, but his mind was not filled with the loving scenes he had with her in the past. Instead, there were some strange scenes.

Sometimes there was Jiang Shiyuan's charming smile, and sometimes there was her cold sneer. Obviously, there was no trace of her here at all, but for some reason, it seemed as if this yard was where she was supposed to be.

There is an indescribable feeling of trance and suffocation.

He stood quietly in the yard without disturbing anyone.

But when this action fell into the eyes of the Zhao family's entourage who followed, it took on other meanings.

The next day, when it was almost dawn, Lingzhi, the maid serving Jiang Shijin, got up to fetch water to help the Crown Prince's wife wash up. Unexpectedly, when she got up and was about to go out, she saw the Crown Prince whom they had not seen for a long time.

Surprised, he walked out quickly.

"Prince, are you here to see the Crown Princess?"

He found it difficult to refute Lingzhi's words. He couldn't say that he had been yearning for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family for half the night, so he lowered his voice and asked.

"How is the Crown Prince's Concubine?" "Her wounds have healed a lot, but she's still a little weak. She thinks of the lost young master from time to time. I saw her crying secretly a few times. I wanted to ask someone to invite the Crown Prince to come, but the Crown Prince's Concubine said that the concubine had just entered the family, and it would be bad to let her think that the Crown Prince's Concubine was jealous and wanted to monopolize the Crown Prince during her confinement, so the plan was abandoned."

Lingzhi is good at speaking, and with just a few words she made Jiang Shijin appear innocent and aggrieved.

Now that they have lost the support of the Jiang family, their only reliance in the palace is the prince's mercy, so the more miserable they are, the better.

After hearing these words, Prince Song did not feel much moved.

But because the Jiang family was still useful to him, he could only say the first few words.

"I will tell my subordinates to take good care of the Crown Prince's Consort. Right now, many things are still new, so I won't say much. Your body is your own after all, so take good care of it so that you can have a long life ahead of you."

To Lingzhi, these words were much better than any medicine.

So she replied excitedly, "I understand, and I will naturally comfort the Crown Prince's Consort. Please don't forget the affection you had for her in the past."

Love?
Prince Song thought that there was such affection before, but now he always feels that there seems to be something else mixed in with this affection. Even the meeting and knowing each other between the two has become a little dull at this moment.

Without further answer, Prince Song left the yard.

When I left, my mind was full of images of Jiang Shiyuan. For some reason, my obsession became more and more obvious.

In Zhao Yuyan's room, she heard the attendants talking about the whereabouts of the prince. She was not surprised at all. Instead, she felt calm as if everything was under control. Just like before, she had a serious breakfast and then drank a bowl of slightly bitter pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

It is not a wise move to try to win back the prince's heart at this time.

The Crown Prince may have daughters from the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Liu family in the future, but the most important thing for her is to give birth to a child while the Crown Prince's wife is unable to give birth and the Princess' mother-in-law has high expectations of her.

So even though this bowl of wine tastes bitter, it tastes sweet in her mouth at this moment.

"Concubine, do you need me to tell the subordinates to do their job well?"

"No need. If she lives too miserably, that will make men love her more. What I want is for her to get better day by day. Anyway, she is injured and cannot get pregnant. The biggest bargaining chip is gone. We just need to deal with it calmly."

Zhao Yuyan's absolute self-confidence made her take the right step. Over time, people in this mansion began to speak highly of her.

Concubine Xun seemed somewhat indignant when she was chatting with her daughter-in-law Bai.

"I thought this girl from the Zhao family was arrogant and intolerant, so I was just waiting to see the good show on the other side, but who knew that it was calm and peaceful. It makes people dare not underestimate her."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. She has only been married for a few days, so of course we have to pretend. Concubine Zhao is not pregnant yet. If she is, don't worry. There is no need for us to instigate. The drama over there is interesting to watch."

Bai's ambition was far greater than that of Concubine Xun. What she coveted was not only the status of a Crown Prince's Consort in Prince Chun's Mansion, but also the Princess of Prince Chun, one of the most famous women in the Dasui Dynasty, so she said so.

Seeing her daughter-in-law so confident, Concubine Xun, who was originally a little unhappy, felt a little relieved. She wanted to watch carefully how the person next door fell from the clouds.

Everything in Prince Chun's Mansion is not to be told to outsiders, and the same goes for the Princess' Mansion next door.

Princess Qinghuan was the most powerful one in Dasui, but her wedding day was lonely and deserted. It was not because she had lost favor, but because she simply did not care about these things.

So on the day of the ceremony, Cheng Dengping just wore a slightly gaudy dress and entered the palace with a helpless look on his face. He paid his respects to the old emperor and the empress dowager, and the marriage was then settled.

The gifts from the officials were piled high, but no one had the courage to come forward to bless the couple, so on the wedding day, the arrival of Jiang Shiyuan and Pei Zisu added a little more popularity to the happy event in the princess's mansion.
