A moment later, Liao Han walked in slowly with a veil on.

She was wearing expensive and gorgeous brocade, with delicate red hairpins on her temples. Her brows were gentle as she walked towards the house step by step.

"Liao Han pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Before the prince could respond, Shangguan had already bent down to help him and said gently, "You don't have to perform formalities if you are not feeling well. Sit down quickly."

Liao Han was flattered. She looked at Shangguan and the prince with fluttering hearts. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she sat down reluctantly.

"I came to see Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness is doing well now?" Her voice was soft and boneless, and it sounded tingling in my ears.

Different from Shangguan's gentleness and dignity, Liao Han is as gentle as water. She has a soft feeling all over her body, which makes people feel pity for her.

"Second Miss Liao." The prince called.

Just as Lu Jingning was about to step in, she heard the shout. She quickly retracted her foot, stepped out, and glanced at Xue Yuan: "What did my father call her just now?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls Miss Liao Er."

According to what Shangguan Si said before, the two of them have been close for several months. Would her father call her Miss Liao Er?

This is not right!

"Your Highness." Liao Han looked at the prince nervously, then glanced at Shangguan, obviously wanting to say something to the prince alone.

Shangguan stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will go and see the girl Aning."

The prince grabbed Shangguan's sleeve and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aning will come to pay her respects soon. Ask the kitchen to make more of Aning's favorite dishes."

Shangguan lowered her head and watched the prince holding her sleeve tighter and tighter, with no intention of letting go. Shangguan had no choice but to sit down and glanced at Liao Han again.

Liao Han lowered her eyes.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Miss Liao, you saved my life. I promised your father that I would be responsible for you. From today on, you are the Crown Prince's concubine." The Crown Prince pointed at Shangguan and said, "This is the Crown Prince's concubine. Tell her if you need anything."

Liao Han raised her eyes and stared at the prince mistily, occasionally glancing at Shangguan and pursing her lips.

The prince swallowed his throat. He hated to see women cry. He gently tugged at Shangguan's sleeve. Shangguan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Liao Han: "Concubine Han, you are still pregnant. Don't be sad and cry. It's not good for the child. No one will bully you here."

Liao Han nodded: "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both very good people. I... I just heard His Royal Highness mention my father, and suddenly I felt uncomfortable."

The prince was also upset when Mr. Liao died.

And this death is related to the prince.

The prince frowned and looked at Shangguan with heartache: "Shangguan Si has been going too far in recent years. In order to gain power, he forced you and your daughter to compromise and even attacked an innocent person."

Shangguan was stunned.

"Li'er, Shangguan Si deserves his punishment, and his death is not a pity!" The prince comforted Shangguan instead.

Liao Han pursed her lips tightly as she watched this scene. After a while, she asked, "My father's death is related to Lord Shangguan? Why did Lord Shangguan do this?"

Without waiting for Shangguan to explain, the prince nodded: "Shangguan Si eliminated the Liao family in order to threaten the Crown Princess to work for the Shangguan family. Killing Old Man Liao was also for his own selfish desires. The Crown Princess has killed Lord Shangguan for the sake of justice and avenged Old Man Liao."

Liao Han had been followed closely these past few days, and had no idea what had happened at Shangguan's house that day, but she vaguely knew from Murong that something had happened to Shangguan Si.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess and the Shangguan family have long been strangers." The prince advised.

Liao Han felt bitter when she saw that the Crown Prince always protected the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess she saw was in her early thirties, with fair and delicate skin, beautiful features, and exuding the temperament of a good wife and mother.

At first glance, she knew that the words "combining strength and gentleness" were just right for women.

Compared to the Crown Princess, Liao Han only had the advantage of being young. Now that her face was ruined, she had lost even her last capital.

"Father."

Lu Jingning walked in with a sweet smile on his face. He was surprised to see Liao Han: "Second Miss Liao..."

"You can't call her Miss Liao Er anymore. You should call her Concubine Han." Shangguan reminded.

Lu Jingning nodded and changed his words to Concubine Han.

Liao Han stood up to salute but was stopped by Lu Jingning: "Since Concubine Han is not feeling well, there is no need to salute. Please sit down. I feel much more relieved now that Concubine Han can walk around."

She asked with concern on her face.

Liao Han reached out her hand to touch her veil dejectedly, pursed her lips and said nothing. Lu Jingning then asked, "How does Concubine Han plan to severely punish the Murong family?"

"Murong?"

"It was Madam Shangguan, the one who disfigured you."

Liao Han frowned and shook her head: "When will the cycle of revenge end? In my opinion, let it go. After all, she is still the Crown Princess's biological sister-in-law."

"Concubine Han." Shangguan took the initiative to speak: "One thing is one thing, she hurt you, so she should be punished."

Liao Han continued to shake her head: "So many things have happened recently. I want to pray for the child and just hope that the child can be born safely."

Shangguan sighed and praised the prince, "Concubine Han is very generous. I am ashamed of myself. I have decided to be a vegetarian for three years to pray for the child in Concubine Han's belly."

"How can that be possible?" The prince refused without thinking: "It's not you who made the mistake. You are too weak. The doctor said you need to replenish your body. If you feel bad about it, just copy the scriptures."

"Alright."

She didn't know if it was Lu Jingning's illusion, but she felt that the prince avoided Liao Han as much as possible, was unfamiliar and polite to her, and no longer cared about her as much as before.

Liao Han sat for a while and then went back.

After a while, Lu Jingning also left. Xue Yuan came over and said, "Just now, Sister Meizhu, who is beside the Crown Princess, came to tell her that since Concubine Han came back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never called her name in his dreams again."

"really?"

"Yes! Sister Meizhu also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still loves the Crown Princess as always."

Lu Jingning pursed his lips, but he did not let his guard down in his heart.
