Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The rockery stands beside the clear lake. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the lake surface and fish leap on the water. There is noise in the quietness but it is not noisy.

Yuan Jing stood by the lake, and his mood couldn't help but relax, even his eyes slightly closed.

He rarely had time to relax like this, and later on—

Yuan Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and the figures of two girls came into his sight with the sound of clattering footsteps.

"Princess!"

Anya Song dragged the reluctant Fang Linhan to kneel and salute first.

When Yuan Jing saw Anya Song, the unhappiness of being disturbed in his heart dissipated a little.

He nodded towards the two of them and asked:

"Are you here to enjoy the lake view as well?"

When Anya Song was asked this question, she was stunned for a moment, nodded first, and then shook her head repeatedly.

"No, Princess, I came here... because I want to tell you something."

Yuan Jing said "hmm" (twice) in surprise.

If I remember correctly, today was the first time he and Anya Song had met, so she would have something to tell him.

He couldn't think of anything, and didn't say anything to stop it. He said calmly:

"You said."

Anya Song looked at Yuan Jing’s face several more times, and clenched her hands into fists to give herself courage.

"Princess, I mean, you are extremely beautiful and a princess of high rank. With your background and appearance, why would you do something else but do something like that?"

There was another puzzled "hmm" sound, and Yuan Jing was a little confused and didn't understand what she was saying.

Anya Song seemed to be in a state of emotion, her expression was excited, she kept talking, and she couldn’t stop at all.

"Some things can't be forced. Look, even Liu Zhuangyuan didn't want to come to the banquet. The couple seemed to be separated into two families. They were too unfamiliar."

"When Liu Zhuangyuan came just now, he was not close to you at all. If you are in love with each other, would you still say such intimate words at this time?"

"Although Liu Zhuangyuan is indeed good-looking, even if it is just placed at home as a decoration, it can bring joy to the body and mind. But she will be unhappy, which is so heartbreaking."

Her expression was full of regret and disappointment.

After finishing her words of persuasion, Anya Song thought about what she had just said, and was worried that Yuan Jing would blame Liu Yao, so she quickly added a few more words.

"You can't blame Liu Zhuangyuan for not being close to you. You did something like that, but she didn't say anything bad to you. She was so gentle. It's good enough that she just didn't want to be close to you."

After listening to these words, Yuan Jing finally understood her purpose. She came to "seek justice" for Liu Yao's broken marriage.

However, he and Liu Yao got married more than a month ago.

Anya Song had not even been back in the capital for a month.

After returning, I have to meet the emperor and prepare for the flower-viewing banquet. I am so busy that how can I have time to understand what happened more than a month ago.

Yuan Jing did not refute her previous words, and asked curiously:

"Oh? I did something like that. What was that thing?"

"He used his power to force a marriage, breaking up the childhood sweethearts who loved each other, and making Mr. Liu the champion's wife a concubine..."

Anya Song then began to recount the rumors Fang Linhan had told her.

"Why was it that I had to force her into marriage, instead of Liu Yao asking for it? Maybe she was just trying to curry favor with the powerful, was blinded by greed, and wanted to use her power to climb up the social ladder."

These words were not much different from what he had said before when he defended Yuan Jing in front of Fang Linhan.

But after changing her opinion of Liu Hao, Anya Song immediately felt uncomfortable listening to these words.

She tried hard to defend Liu Hao, but since she had only been there for a short time and didn't know much, she stuttered when she explained.

Finally, he simply pulled out the person behind him and said angrily:

"Fang Linhan, you speak."

Fang Linhan was originally staying well in the back, with a weak presence, and she didn't have to worry about being taken out on.

As a result, he was pulled out to face the princess and was even called out by name. He couldn't help feeling angry and vaguely afraid.

But soon, she remembered the scene in the flower-viewing garden just now:

The young master Liu whom she admired appeared at the gate of the courtyard and walked straight towards where the princess was.

The whispers through the gauze curtains, even though not intimate, revealed a hint of ambiguity.

However, during the long time from when Liu Yao appeared to when he left, he did not even look at him once.

Anger was overwhelmed by jealousy, so Fang Linhan told all the rumors.

"It is impossible that it was Young Master Liu who requested the permission. Otherwise, how could Young Master Liu never enter the princess's room after the marriage except on the wedding night?"

"If it was really Master Liu who took the initiative, and you didn't have this intention, why didn't you say no when the marriage was granted?"

Fang Linhan would never have thought that the emperor was too absurd. When she was thinking about the mastermind behind the marriage, she naturally focused her attention on Yuan Jing.

As she spoke, she lost her mind and said things that she only used to vent her jealousy in her boudoir.

"Could it be that you have stayed in the palace for too long and rarely see the young masters of noble families outside?"

"I finally got to see the handsome and talented Master Liu, and I was afraid that someone would snatch him away, so I couldn't wait to ask for an imperial decree to tie Master Liu to my side."

"presumptuous!"

The angry voice rang in her ears, Fang Linhan trembled and knelt on the ground.

When she saw Yuan Jing's gloomy expression, she remembered the difference in status between them and quickly pursed her lips.

After a while, he quickly took himself out:

"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't say those words. I heard them from others when I was out."

Yuan Jing's eyes fell lightly on Fang Linhan, confirming his guess.

When Song Anya rushed up to be the first to come forward, he noticed that her clear (naive) and (silly) eyes were exactly the same as those of Duke Song.

Considering the character of Duke Song, he immediately guessed that someone must be instigating this.

Now that it has been confirmed, he knows what to do.

Yuan Jing had no interest in explaining. He clapped his hands, and a secret guard with his face covered appeared from not far behind the rockery.

These are the secret guards uniformly deployed to protect the safety of the royal descendants.

As soon as the secret guard appeared, he knelt in front of Yuan Jing.

Yuan Jing sneered.

"Didn't you say that? Is Miss Fang so easy to believe the gossip outside, and even tell others the rumors that she herself is not sure of?"

"Master Fang is a really good family teacher. Suyun, go ask Master Fang if the position of the Director of the Imperial College is worthy of the position of a person whose family cannot be managed."

Looking at Fang Linhan's pale face, he suddenly felt bored.

He has a lot of things to do and it's impossible for him to focus on this.

Even though the dark times that no one cared about were brought up again, Yuan Jing lowered his eyes and buried his emotions deep in his eyes.

He glanced at Anya Song, and no longer had the intention to make friends, so he reminded her in a cold voice:

"Princess Luoning, you need to think twice before making friends. Don't drag yourself and Duke Song into the quagmire."

Yuan Jing turned and left, his figure disappearing in front of the two of them.
