The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 238 Princess Yongping

"Aunt?" Jing Anle murmured, and almost instantly she remembered.

Princess Yongping, the youngest daughter of the late emperor, was married off to the southern border more than a decade ago for a political alliance. Now, she has been secretly in contact with Prince Qing, and her return to Jing Kingdom must be for some ulterior motive.

"Auntie's suggestion is right. Anle is still a little dazed after just waking up. I'm sure Auntie won't be angry, right?" Jing Anle leaned against the headboard, a faint smile on her lips. Her face was ashen, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, and she looked cold and weak.

"Hmph." Princess Yongping chuckled softly, not answering directly, but instead said, "You do indeed look very much like your mother, even when you're sick you're still a beautiful woman. Especially your eyes, they're so alike, no wonder your brother dotes on you so much."

Jing Anle was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Princess Yongping asked such a question, but she didn't dare to let her guard down. "It is only natural for a daughter to resemble her mother. As for Father Emperor... Anle is Father Emperor's daughter, so naturally she deserves Father Emperor's love and care."

"Fine, I don't want to hear it." Princess Yongping turned away angrily, as if recalling something unpleasant. Jing Anle was even more puzzled. She looked at Princess Yongping's back, tall and slender, like a proud peacock.

Almost instantly, Princess Yongping turned around again. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a palace servant's voice, "His Majesty has arrived, and the First Prince has arrived."

Princess Yongping's eyes lit up with joy in an instant. She looked at Emperor Jing with a gaze that no one else could see, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty." Emperor Jing merely glanced at her, said indifferently that there was no need for such formalities, and walked toward Jing Anle. Only Jing Fengyao, who was walking behind Emperor Jing, bowed to Princess Yongping.

Jing Anle stirred slightly, somewhat excited to get up and greet him, but his body was too weak, and any movement made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Anle, don't move." Emperor Jing stepped forward quickly, helped Jing Anle up, and sat her down on the edge of the bed.

"Father," Jing Anle said in a hoarse voice.

"I have caused my father and brother to worry."

Emperor Jing looked on with a kind expression, "As long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Anle, you've been unconscious for three days," Jing Fengyao said, unable to contain himself. The dark circles under his eyes were obvious, clearly showing that he hadn't rested well in the past few days.

"Three days?" No wonder Jing Anle felt not only physically exhausted but also had a headache.

"Then... what about Xiao Heng?" Jing Anle suddenly remembered, her fingers gripping the mattress tightly as she looked at Jing Fengyao expectantly.

Princess Yongping, who was standing to the side, finally found an opportunity to interject and said, "Anle, there is no need to worry. Not long after you fainted that afternoon, Feng Yao brought people to find you. The Crown Prince Xiao that you are concerned about has only caught a minor cold. After resting for a few days, he should be almost fully recovered."

Although he didn't have a good impression of Princess Yongping, Jing Anle was somewhat relieved to hear her say that.

"Anle, what exactly happened that day? Who was chasing you?" Jing Fengyao was still young and impatient, eager to know what had happened.

Jing Anle was wary of Princess Yongping and didn't want to say these things in front of her, so she simply started to act coquettishly, "Father, look at my brother, I just woke up and can't remember anything right now."

These words were exactly what Emperor Jing wanted to hear, so he said with a stern face, "Enough, enough. Your safety is the most important thing. You should rest first, and if you remember anything, send someone to report to me."

"Your Majesty really dotes on Anle. It reminds me of the times I spent with you when I was a child." Princess Yongping looked at Emperor Jing, her eyes filled with emotions that Anle could not understand.

"Time flies, I wonder if my royal brother still remembers?"

Emperor Jing's expression did not change. He simply turned his head and said, "Between you and me, brother and sister, there is naturally no need to say such things."

Even though Emperor Jing's expression remained unchanged, and even somewhat indifferent, Princess Yongping was still pleased, saying, "It's good that my brother still remembers."
