Chapter 302 You Miss Me Too
Chapter 302 You Miss Me Too
That night.
All the palace servants of Yongfu Palace withdrew, leaving only Mu Ping to speak.
Jing Anle sat on the bed wearing a white undershirt. The quilt was warm, so she didn't feel cold.
"Princess, what should we do next?" Mu Ping asked.
“Now that Jing Rou is pregnant, she thinks she has more leverage, but Qi Zhi can’t swallow this insult. Tomorrow at the banquet, we can just sit back and watch the show.”
Mu Ping nodded. "Does the princess mean that Qi Zhi will harm this child?"
"A child?" Jing Anle couldn't help but scoff. "Where would she get a child? Tomorrow will probably be even more lively!"
Mu Ping understood Jing Anle's meaning. It was Mu Ping who delivered the medicine for Jing Rou's false pregnancy to Can'er. She did this to sow discord between Prince Qing and Qi Zhi.
“Now, it seems that Prince Qing’s attempt to collude with Qi Zhi is doomed to fail.” Mu Ping was telling the truth. Even if Qi Zhi were willing to cooperate with Prince Qing, how could such a proud man be willing to be used by others?
Jing Anle's eyes turned cold, and she blurted out, "It's not just that they can't do it, I want them to become enemies, fight each other to the death!" As she said this, her hands unconsciously clenched the blanket, and her fair fingers turned red.
Mu Ping frowned, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. Things didn't seem so simple. Although Prince Qing harbored ambitions, he hadn't yet rebelled, yet Jing Anle seemed to have suffered a great loss.
"Princess, rest assured, with our meticulous planning and General Qin's assistance, the assassination of Prince Qing is just around the corner!" No matter what Jing Anle does, Mu Ping will follow her.
Looking at Mu Ping's determined eyes, Jing Anle relaxed, her eyes filled with tenderness. "You must be tired today, go and rest first."
"Yes, princess."
Apart from the two candles by the bedside, all the other lights were turned off. Jing Anle slid into the covers and began to ponder.
Now that Prince Qing and Murong Peifeng have completely fallen out, they both wish they could kill each other. Qi Zhi is only cooperating with Prince Qing for his own benefit. If their interests are cut off, Qi Zhi will naturally see the situation clearly. If handled properly, it might be possible to use the Qi Kingdom to kill Prince Qing. Even if he can't kill him, the two are still mortal enemies. Prince Qing will lose an arm and gain a powerful enemy. In addition, with his weapons stolen, it will be difficult for him to make a scene.
Next… Jing Anle was still thinking when a gust of wind blew by. She saw the candlelight flicker inside the lampshade, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes. She immediately sat up and demanded, “Who is it?”
"It's me." A familiar voice came from inside.
Jing Anle's tense shoulders immediately relaxed, and she tentatively asked in a soft voice, "Xiao Heng?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark figure climbed in through the window.
Jing Anle gently lifted the curtain and looked up to see Xiao Heng's face, his eyes bright and full of affection.
"Does Prince Xiao still enjoy breaking into young women's bedrooms in the middle of the night?"
Jing Anle had said this before, but this time it wasn't out of anger, but out of shyness.
Xiao Heng also felt it was inappropriate and immediately turned around. He had no intention of peeping, but his ears involuntarily turned red.
"Ahem~" Xiao Heng coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
"What does Crown Prince Xiao want with me?" A moment later, the curtain was completely lifted, but Xiao Heng still didn't dare to turn around. As he spoke, Jing Anle had already put on a black cloak.
"Turn around and talk to me." Jing Anle's tone was a little unnatural, with a hint of girlish shyness.
"I..." Xiao Heng only dared to turn around after hearing Jing Anle say that.
The candlelight was dim, but the two men's eyes were bright, and they seemed to have a thousand words to say to each other.
"I missed you." Xiao Heng's gaze was affectionate, and his voice was gentle. The person he admired was standing right in front of him, and his thoughts just came out.
Silence~
Jing Anle was taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiao Heng to be so direct, and her ears turned slightly red.
"Crown Prince Xiao, have some self-respect." After saying this, Jing Anle wanted to smash her head in. What was she saying? She had already promised Xiao Heng to be with him, she clearly missed him, she clearly…
“You clearly miss me too…” Xiao Heng took a step closer to her.
"I didn't," Jing Anle subconsciously retorted softly, but feeling guilty, she could only look away.
"Your eyes betrayed you." Xiao Heng seemed to be teasing him. He tilted his head and leaned down to look into Jing Anle's eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, beautiful and tender. If it were the old Jing Anle, she probably would have already asked him to leave.
Jing Anle felt embarrassed by his gaze. "Even if it is, you shouldn't have come so late at night. Is there something important?"
"You admit it?" Xiao Heng was immediately in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She knew that Jing Anle was very smart, but she was very stubborn and clumsy when it came to matters of the heart. She liked someone very much, but she was only willing to reveal two-tenths of it. Now that she was willing to say this, she must have seven or eight-tenths of it in her heart.
Since the assassination incident, many more guards have been added around Yongfu Palace. Unless something comes up, even if he misses Jing Anle, he doesn't want to cause her any trouble.
"It seems something really has happened?" Jing Anle felt a moment of disappointment after saying that. She was startled by her own thought and quickly pinched her palm.
