Qianyue invited He Guiren in. When He Guiren saw Jiang Wange, he subconsciously saluted:

"I have met Jiang Liangyuan."

"Xiao He, are we still so polite to each other? I heard that you were sick some time ago. Are you feeling better now?" Jiang Wange asked with great concern.

In fact, Jiang Wange had been neglected for the first six months after entering the palace, and her life was quite difficult. Chu He often sent her things, but they rarely met.

But Jiang Wange always kept Chu He's kindness in mind.

Hearing Jiang Wange's words, Chu He smiled slightly and sat next to her.

"During the time I was ill, you were favored by His Majesty. I was very happy for you. But if I were to be on good terms with you, people would inevitably gossip about you. That's why I held back from coming to see you. I heard that you were assassinated last night, and I was very worried about you..."

Chu He explained in a low voice, being very thoughtful.

When Jiang Wange heard Chu He say this, he understood her feelings very well and gently held her hand:

"Xiao He, I know your character, so I won't misunderstand that you are the kind of person who curries favor with the powerful."

Jiang Wange whispered to comfort her, saying that if Chu He was a person who shunned the powerful, he should have stayed away from her during the six months when she was ignored, instead of giving her gifts and taking care of her from time to time.

Hearing this, Chu He smiled knowingly and took out the food he had brought.

"This is a snack I made myself. You can try it. I remember you liked it very much before."

Chu He signaled to the palace maid to bring a box of lotus cakes, and Jiang Wange's eyes lit up when he saw them!

"Xiao He, you are so nice. How did you know I wanted to eat this? I am so greedy! Thank you!"

After Jiang Wange finished speaking, he picked up a lotus crisp and took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy, and delicious. Xiaohe's cooking skills were really good.

Seeing that Jiang Wange really liked to eat, Chu He smiled:

"If you like it, I'll ask the maid to bring you one when I make it next time."

"That couldn't be better! Xiaohe, you're so nice!"

Jiang Wange said very happily.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they got together they chatted about a lot of gossip. Qianyue and the others all laughed when they saw it:

How come these two ladies are so childish? They don't look like concubines in the deep palace at all.

"By the way, are you injured? I only know that there was an assassination in Xianfu Palace, but I don't know about your situation." Chu He just remembered to ask this.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The assassin failed and I'm unharmed."

"That's good. Now you live in Fengming Palace, which is closer to His Majesty's bedroom and has more guards. This kind of situation shouldn't happen again."

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine."

After seeing this, Chu He smiled sincerely, then looked at Jiang Wange again, feeling a little embarrassed:

"Wange, can you please ask all your maids to leave for a while? I have something to ask of you, and only you can know it."

Hearing this, Jiang Wange was stunned at first, then nodded, glanced at Qianyue and Yujin, and motioned for them to wait outside.

Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the room.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's just the two of us now."

Chu He took a deep breath and then made his request:

"Elegy, although I know my request is a little difficult, I have no choice. I really don't want to..."

Jiang Wange could see that Chu He was really in trouble, so he held her hand and continued to comfort her:

"It's okay. There's nothing we can be embarrassed about. Just tell me and I'll do whatever I can for you."

"Wange, I want to ask you, if His Majesty summons me to sleep with him in the future, can you find a way to get His Majesty out of the way? Let His Majesty come to you? I don't want to sleep with him."

Chu He mustered up his courage and said these words.

Jiang Wange was shocked when she heard Chu He's words, and it was obvious that she found it difficult to understand her request.

"But why? Don't you want to be favored?" Jiang Wange asked, restraining his expression.

"I don't want to. I didn't want to enter the palace at all. After entering the palace, when His Majesty summoned me to sleep for the first time, His Majesty just let me sleep on the floor, and I felt relieved. Later, I found out that His Majesty never let concubines sleep with him. After knowing this news, I felt relieved, but now... you have really slept with him. Although His Majesty has not summoned other concubines to sleep with him, I am still very worried... So Wange, can you help me?"

Chu He spoke very sincerely, and the worry in her eyes could not be acted.

"If it's just this matter, I can help you, but can I ask why you are unwilling to serve His Majesty?" Jiang Wange asked cautiously, always feeling that Chu He had some unspeakable secrets.

Chu He looked up at Jiang Wange's eyes, his expression suddenly became sad, and his whole body looked very depressed:

"Wange, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I already had a crush on someone before I entered the palace. I originally wanted to elope with him and run away, but I never expected that the person I loved would die in an accident. I was so disheartened that I agreed to enter the palace to be selected and spend the rest of my life there. But I still can't serve other men. He is still in my heart and I can't forget him..."

Chu He couldn't help but sob softly. Jiang Wange was very moved. She felt that Chu He was truly in love with her beloved, and she could also understand her feeling of not wanting to sleep with him.

"Don't worry, Xiaohe. I won't let His Majesty summon you to sleep with him."

"I feel relieved when you say this. Thank you so much, Wange. I have no way to repay you. In the future, as long as you can use me, I will definitely stand by your side." Chu He said very seriously.

Jiang Wange smiled knowingly, reached out to wipe her tears, and said nothing else.

As soon as Chu He left with the palace maids, Xiahou Xuan came to Fengming Palace.

"Who was that person just now?"

Xiahou Xuan just happened to see Chu He leaving Fengming Palace, so he asked.

"It's yours truly, my little sister, who came to talk to me." Jiang Wange answered truthfully.

Xiahou Xuan didn't know what to say after she said "yours and the nobleman".

"When did you become friends with her? Be careful, for I'm afraid she might have bad intentions." Xiahou Xuan warned in a low voice.

It’s no wonder he’s suspicious. He had never heard of Jiang Wange being close to anyone before. How come now that she’s in favor, she and the nobleman show up?

"Xiao He is not that kind of person. During the half year when you ignored me, Xiao He was the only one who often helped me and brought me delicious food. She is not a bad person." Jiang Wange couldn't help but defend his good friend.

After hearing her say this, Xiahou Xuan became a little interested:

"With your personality, she can trick you away with just a little bit of delicious food. Are you so sure that she is sincere in making friends with you?"

"Of course, because she just begged me to find a way to prevent her from sleeping with you. She doesn't like you at all and wants to stay away from the palace." Jiang Wange said confidently.

Xiahou Xuan raised his eyebrows, very surprised by this result:

"Can I ask why?"

"No, this is her privacy, I can't tell you. Anyway, you won't let other concubines sleep with you, so I generously agreed to her request. You should be able to do it, right?"

Jiang Wange looked Xiahou Xuan up and down. If Xiahou Xuan dared to say "no", she would be done with him!
