After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on
Chapter 22: Trapped in Two Difficulties
In the Prince's Mansion, Ouyang Jing said to Xie Mishuang as soon as he returned: "I still have some official business to deal with. You should have a good rest first. Later, Li Zhong will take you around to familiarize yourself with the environment of the mansion."
Xie Mishuang bowed and said, "I obey your command."
She watched Ouyang Jing walk towards the study, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
As soon as Ouyang Jing left, Qing He couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did this servant do something wrong? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry?"
Xie Mishuang looked at Qing He's worried expression, smiled and shook his head: "No, Your Highness has a good temper."
Li Zhong stood aside, listening to these words, unconsciously looking in the direction where Ouyang Jing left, secretly complaining in his heart: The prince has a good temper? Is he really?
If the Crown Princess knew how cold and ruthless the Crown Prince was to others, she probably wouldn't feel that way.
Xie Mishuang looked around and asked, "Have you seen Xiaolan?"
Qing He shook her head: "No, he disappeared early in the morning."
Li Zhong stepped forward and replied respectfully, "My dear Crown Princess, Xiaolan committed a crime and was tortured and sold to a human trafficker on His Highness' orders."
"Torture?" Qing He quickly covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "What did she do wrong?"
Li Zhong said calmly, "Of course I said something bad about the Crown Princess."
When Xie Mishuang heard this, the figure hiding behind the tree that he saw in Xie Mansion yesterday immediately emerged in his mind, and he guessed the whole story in an instant.
Xie Mishuang sneered in her heart, but remained calm as she instructed Li Zhong, "I'm hungry. Send someone to bring me some food."
"Yes." Li Zhong responded quickly and turned around to retreat.
When Xie Mishuang returned to the bridal chamber, a faint fragrance filled her nose, making her feel relaxed and happy.
Seeing her come back, Xin Yan hurried forward and handed her a letter: "Miss, this is from Miss Jiang. She said it's urgent."
Xie Mishuang took the letter and when his fingertips touched the envelope, an ominous premonition came to his mind.
She slowly opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside and unfolded it.
In the letter, Jiang Yulian said that her father and mother had been thrown into prison because they were falsely accused of embezzling military pay.
She had nowhere else to turn to and could only turn to Xie Mishuang, hoping that she would save her father out of their past friendship.
In his previous life, although Jiang's father was also framed and had his property confiscated and exiled, that happened several months later. How could it happen so soon?
Could it be that her rebirth changed the trajectory of certain things?
But now is not the time to think about these things, she must find a way to rescue the Jiang family.
Xie Mishuang sorted out her thoughts. This matter must be related to Shang Qiuqian of the Shang family. Now that she has become the Crown Princess, she can't touch her and her father, so she turned to Jiang Yulian's family.
In her previous life, she was unable to prevent the ending because she did not know that Jiang Yulian was the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Thinking that life-and-death struggles were commonplace in the court, she did not intervene.
So when he later learned the truth, he felt very regretful for his cold-bloodedness.
She raised her head and looked at Xin Yan with a determined gaze: "Xin Yan, go and reply to the letter quickly. Tell her that I will find a way to go out tonight and ask her to wait for me at Wanxiang Tea House."
"Yes." Xin Yan took the order and left.
Xie Mishuang looked at Xin Yan's departing back, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
The current Prince's Mansion, also known as the Eastern Palace, is still inside the Imperial Palace, and it is not easy to get out.
Besides, she is a newlywed now. Generally, married women are not allowed to go out and show their faces in public. She must find a way to go out.
A figure flashed through Xie Mishuang’s mind, Ouyang Jing!
He is the prince, there must be a way.
She called Li Zhong and asked, "Li Zhong, has His Highness had his meal?"
Li Zhong was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to ask this out of the blue. He shook his head and said, "Crown Princess, His Highness hasn't had his meal yet."
Upon hearing this, Xie Mishuang immediately stood up and asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Ouyang Jing liked. Then he picked up the tray and prepared to go to the study.
Li Zhong saw this and quickly stepped forward to block her path. "Crown Princess, His Highness is busy with official duties right now. It would be best if you didn't disturb him."
Xie Mishuang paused and looked at him in confusion: "I'm just going to bring some food to His Highness, what's wrong with that?"
Li Zhong looked embarrassed and lowered his voice, saying, "Crown Princess, you don't know that His Highness hates being interrupted when he's handling official business. If you anger His Highness, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Even if your Highness the Crown Prince has to be busy with official business, he should eat!" Qing He put her hands on her hips and said firmly, "Besides, with the relationship between my young lady and your Highness, there will definitely be no problem. Don't stop my young lady!"
Li Zhong was amused by her appearance, but he still insisted on his duties: "Miss Qinghe, you don't know..."
"Qinghe is right. I am now the Crown Princess and have the obligation to take good care of His Highness's health." Xie Mishuang said in an unquestionable tone.
Li Zhong was left speechless by her retort and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
He thought about it and felt that Qinghe was right. This was the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made an exception for the Crown Princess and did not follow the rules. Maybe this time would be the same.
Finally, Li Zhong compromised: "Well, Crown Princess, please do as you please. However, I must remind you that Your Highness does not like to be disturbed when he is handling official business."
"I know, I know!" Qing He waved her hand impatiently, urging Xie Mi Shuang, "Miss, go quickly, I'll watch him for you."
Xie Mishuang nodded and walked towards the study with the lunch box.
She walked to the door of the study and knocked gently.
There was no movement inside.
Xie Mishuang knocked again, this time using a little more force.
"Come in."
Ouyang Jing's voice came from inside, his tone was cold, completely different from the one he had just had in the sedan chair.
Xie Mishuang's heart instantly sank. He had been told before that he had a good temper, but now it seemed like he had been slapped in the face.
But after all, she needed his help, so she had to go through the door.
Xie Mishuang took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
A chill came from Ouyang Jing.
He sat at his desk, writing furiously. The memorials beside him had piled up into a small mountain, which showed how busy he was.
People are at their worst temper when they are busy, but Xie Mishuang still gritted her teeth and brought the dishes to Ouyang Jing.
"I heard that Your Highness hasn't had his meal yet. It might be better for him to have his meal first and then deal with these memorials." Xie Mishuang said softly.
When Ouyang Jing heard the voice, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Xie Mishuang.
Xie Mishuang looked like she was thinking about him, which made him a little dazed, but these memorials were also very important. Should he continue to be busy or have dinner with her?
For the first time, Ouyang Jing was in a dilemma.
Seeing that he was silent, Xie Mishuang thought he was angry, so she said, "Your Highness, I actually have something to ask of you, and I didn't mean to disturb you."
