“He’s using you, don’t you know that?”

“I know.”

“You still like him even knowing that.”

“I like him even if he’s using me.” Jiang Ning looked at him leisurely.

“You’re so spineless.”

“I really am spineless.” Jiang Ning said, “If someone treats me well, I like them. I don’t care if they’re good or bad. Haven’t I told you that I’m the kind of person who can’t resist being treated gently?”

“If you like him so much, why not marry him?”

“Because someone is stopping me. Your Highness should know this better than anyone.”

Li Hongyuan didn’t speak anymore.

The two were quiet for a while, and then Jiang Ning remembered something:

“Didn’t you have something to tell me?”

“I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“Where to?”

“By the Emperor’s order, I am to guard the Imperial Mausoleum.”

“What?” Jiang Ning sat up straight, “You’re really going?”

“Do you think the Emperor would joke about such a thing?” Li Hongyuan said coldly, “He may not show it, but he’s very dissatisfied with me. Not to mention, as the Crown Prince, the Prince of Huai has a say in this matter.”

“What’s the point of sending you to the Imperial Mausoleum? Just because the Emperor is angry?”

“That’s only a part of it. The main reason is to clear the obstacles for the Crown Prince. The King of Chen has been punished, the Prince of Wei is incapable, and my presence in Chang’an City is always a threat to the Crown Prince. No matter how you look at it, I have to leave.”

“Is it like the saying ‘one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers’?”

“Almost.”

“When will you come back?”

Li Hongyuan looked at her and didn’t speak.

Jiang Ning: “Are you never coming back in this lifetime?”

“Do you want to go with this Prince?”

“No, I don’t!”

“…At least pretend to hesitate before refusing.”

“Whether I pretended or not, the result would be the same.”

“At least this Prince could feel a bit better in his heart.”

“Dragging your children to the Imperial Mausoleum to suffer would make you feel better?”

“I never said I would really take them.”

“Then that’s good.”

“You… you’re so affectionate and attached to Wenren Zong, but why are you so indifferent to me?” Li Hongyuan was a bit indignant.

“Maybe because Wenren Zong has always been polite and gentle to me. And you’re not.”

Li Hongyuan had nothing to say.

He was drunk that night, but not completely irrational.

Half of it was due to intoxication, and the other half was probably because he really wanted her.

As a high and mighty prince, everyone around him had always served and obeyed him since he was a child, including his concubines, who were always submissive and never dared to defy him.

He thought that men could take whatever they wanted and that women could only endure quietly.

Little did he know that he would fall for her.

How to put it?

It’s probably his own fault.

Even if Jiang Ning openly admitted her feelings for Wenren Zong in front of him, he could only feel aggrieved in his heart and could not show his anger towards her.

Seeing him fall silent, Jiang Ning felt a little sorry for him and asked, “Do you have to leave so soon?”

“Yes.”

“You royal people are really heartless.”

“Considering my concubine mother’s sake, the Emperor Father has been quite good to me. Did you not see the end of the King of Chen?”

“But leaving tomorrow is too hasty.” Jiang Ning thought for a moment, “How about this—I’ll bring our two children and accompany you to the Imperial Mausoleum for a while?”

Li Hongyuan smiled and said, “It’s hard to say whether you’re clever or stupid. Once you leave Chang’an City, it’ll be difficult to come back. Besides, Wenzan and Lingzi are still so young, this Prince really doesn’t have the heart to make them suffer in a cold and harsh place like that..”
