After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

She wore a sword at her waist, and carried a chilling air as she walked.

Xie Mishuang opened the car curtain, and Jiang Yulian recognized her immediately and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be Sister Shuang'er?"

Xie Mishuang smiled slightly, her eyes moving with a hint of mischief: "Sister Yulian, how are you?" As she said that, she helped Qinghe get off the carriage.

Jiang Yulian quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xie Mishuang's hand, and said with a hint of disbelief: "It's really you! You are actually the Concubine Shu who has recently become famous in the capital!"

Xie Mishuang raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise: "Is it really that exaggerated? Famous throughout the capital?"

Jiang Yulian pulled her inside, her tone excited: "It's really that exaggerated! You don't know that the entire imperial city has been in dire straits for the past three years. The prince who was kind and dedicated to the people is now a beast that can go crazy at any time. He is a tyrant! But I'm only saying this to you."

Xie Mishuang sighed, his expression complicated: "The past is over, why should he be so persistent."

Jiang Yulian took Xie Mishuang through the courtyard of the Inspection Office. Along the way, the guards of the Inspection Office respectfully called him "Lord Jiang" with admiration in their eyes.

Xie Mishuang felt relieved to see that Sister Yu Lian was living so well now.

Jiang Yulian brought Xie Mishuang to an attic, opened the door, and said, "This is where I usually work and handle cases. It's a bit messy, so please bear with me for a while. Come and sit down. I'll make you a pot of tea and we can chat about your interesting experiences in Fengshui Town."

Xie Mishuang waved her hand, her expression serious. "Don't bother me, Sister Yulian. I came to the capital this time just to avenge the Xie family for my grandmother, my mother, and my unborn brother. Now that it's almost over, I have to leave."

Jiang Yulian poured Xie Mishuang a cup of hot tea. The lingering aroma of the tea filled the slightly solemn atmosphere between the two of them.

"Shuang'er, I've heard about what happened with the Xie family and the Shen family. Don't worry, our Inspection Department will do its best to search for evidence and make them suffer the consequences!" She spoke in a firm tone with unquestionable determination.

After a pause, Jiang Yulian asked cautiously, "But... you and the Emperor, haven't you resolved your differences yet? The Empress isn't doing well these days, so I'm sure the Emperor isn't sincere towards her. What happened back then... maybe there was some misunderstanding?"

Xie Mishuang took the teacup, took a sip, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but it did not reach his eyes.

"Sister Yu Lian, I know you don't want me to leave, but I still can't stay here."

Jiang Yulian sighed, a hint of helplessness between her brows.

"Well then," she compromised, "then no matter where you go in the future, you must remember to write to me and let me know you're safe. Otherwise, I'll search the world for you just like the emperor did, understand?"

She feigned anger, but her tone was full of concern.

"I understand." Xie Mishuang replied with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Yulian enthusiastically inquired about the interesting things that Xie Mishuang had experienced in Fengshui Town, and her words were full of yearning for pastoral life.

"I didn't even have the chance to meet my godson!" There was a hint of regret in her tone.

"We will definitely meet when there is a chance." Xie Mishuang promised.

Jiang Yulian took out an exquisite toy from her sleeve and handed it to Xie Mishuang.

"This is a gift I gave to that child. Please keep it."

Just as she took out the thing, a handkerchief embroidered with orchids slipped from her sleeve and fell to the ground.

The handkerchief was snow-white, but stained with a barely noticeable bloodstain.

Xie Mi had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the handkerchief, then bent down and picked it up.

"What is this?" she asked in confusion, her eyes fixed on the bloodstain.

Jiang Yulian's face changed, and she reached out to grab it in a hurry. "It's nothing, just give it back to me first!"

Xie Mishuang dodged quickly, raised the handkerchief in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

The bloodstains had dried up and turned dark red, and a faint scent of soap still lingered on the corner of the handkerchief.

"Isn't this something only found in men? How come you have it?" There was a hint of inquiry in her tone.

Jiang Yulian hesitated, her eyes flickering.

"I...I just picked it up while investigating a case."

Xie Mishuang put the handkerchief to her nose and sniffed, and the faint soap scent became more obvious.

"It still smells like soap, it's clearly been washed. Are you responsible for washing things you picked up while investigating a case?"

At this moment, a man in red official uniform suddenly appeared at the door. It was Yan Yunfei, the director of the Inspection Department.

He asked sternly, "Jiang Yulian, how could you bring outsiders in here? Don't you know that you can't just let anyone in here?"

His eyes fell on the familiar handkerchief in Xie Mi's hands. He was slightly startled and then asked, "Why are my things in your hands?"

Jiang Yulian snatched the handkerchief from Xie Mi's hands and explained in a panic: "You saw it wrong, you saw it wrong!" Her eyes flickered, obviously trying to hide something.

Yan Yunfei's gaze moved from the handkerchief in Xie Mi's hands to Jiang Yulian's face, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, I see," he said, dragging out his words and pointing at Jiang Yulian. "So it was you who hid my things. You don't... have any intentions towards me, do you?"

Jiang Yulian's cheeks flushed instantly when she heard this. She glared at Yan Yunfei and said unhappily, "Stop being so narcissistic! I don't have any intentions towards you!"

She snatched the handkerchief and stuffed it back into her sleeve, her movements flustered like a frightened little rabbit.

Xie Mishuang looked at the slightly ambiguous interaction between the two and laughed inwardly.

These two people clearly care about each other, but they are always so secretive.

Three years have passed and there has been no progress at all. It's true that the eunuchs are anxious even though the emperor is not.

It seems that it is time to give them a push.

She coughed lightly and said casually, "Prince Yan, you seem to be getting older. It's time to get married. Some time ago, when I went to the Queen Mother's bedroom, I heard that she was preparing to choose a princess for you. You should have a wife soon." Her eyes moved with a hint of mischievous smile.

Yan Yunfei was stunned and touched his nose subconsciously.

"Why does the Queen Mother care about my marriage?" There was a hint of confusion in his tone.

Xie Mishuang smiled slightly and explained, "You and the Emperor are good brothers, and you are a general who once guarded the border. Naturally, the Queen Mother will pay some attention to you."

Yan Yunfei frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

If the Queen Mother really wanted to interfere in his marriage, she might really arrange a match for him.

He doesn't want to marry a woman he doesn't like.

"That won't do!" He raised his head suddenly, his tone firm, "I don't want to marry anyone casually!" His eyes fell on Jiang Yulian, "Jiang Yulian, aren't you married too? Otherwise, why don't we just make do with each other?"
