Jiang Nian followed the nanny all the way to Concubine Hui's bedroom. There was a maid guarding the door and only let her in.

Concubine Hui was lying on the bed without raising the curtains. Jiang Nian stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Her Majesty Hui."

The person inside the bed curtain didn't say anything. Jiang Nian just knelt there and didn't say anything else.

There was only one candle burning in the room, the light was dim, and Jiang Nian's legs felt a little numb.

But she didn't move at all, but the person in the bed tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Jiang Nian asked in a low voice: "Madam, can't you sleep?"

The person inside suddenly stopped turning over and still didn't say anything.

Jiang Nian took off the medicine bag from his body, stood up and slowly walked forward, "If your majesty can't sleep, just smell this, it will calm you down."

After passing the sachet from under the bed curtain, Jiang Nian sat naturally on a chair beside him.

Her knees were really hurting, but considering the sachet, she shouldn't be forced to kneel anymore, right?

She was indeed tired, so she leaned back in the chair, supported her head, and took a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Nian heard steady breathing sounds coming from inside the bed curtains.

He chuckled softly, it seemed that he was not so wary of her.

If she gets a good night's sleep and is in a good mood tomorrow, maybe they will let her go back.

Concubine Hui was just a knife in the hands of Concubine Chen. She was the biological mother of Princess Anle. She had no prince by her side and was not very favored in the palace. For so many years, she had been living under Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen wanted to get rid of her, but it was difficult for her to do it herself, so she asked Concubine Hui to summon her and ruin her reputation in Cuiwei Palace. In this way, even if she was discovered, Concubine Hui would take the blame.

They sat there until dawn, and Concubine Hui showed no sign of getting up, so Jiang Nian quietly left the inner hall.

The palace maid outside was about to speak when she saw someone coming out, but Jiang Nian hushed her.

"Empress Hui is sleeping peacefully, it's better not to disturb her."

The palace maids looked at each other in bewilderment. Concubine Hui had always been a light sleeper, waking up several times a night. It was already very good for her to sleep for two hours. Ever since Miss Jiang came in last night, Concubine Hui had not called anyone.

The servants guarding outside also felt a lot more relaxed.

Concubine Hui slept until the hour of Si before waking up. After waking up, she saw the happy face of the nanny beside her and slowly stood up: "What good thing happened? Why are you smiling so happily?"

As the nanny helped Concubine Hui dress, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty slept well last night. It's already the middle of the Si hour."

Concubine Hui was stunned. Si hour? She remembered that she hadn't slept for long last night.

"Your Majesty slept well last night and looks better today."

Concubine Hui remembered something and looked towards her pillow. There was indeed a sachet there. She reached out and took it and smelled it. It smelled good. Remembering what Jiang Nian said last night, she asked, "Where is Miss Jiang?"

"She left the bedroom this morning and should be resting in her room now. Would Your Majesty like to call her?"

Concubine Hui got up and washed. "Did she say anything when she came last night?"

"No, Miss Jiang dressed up nicely and came without saying anything."

Concubine Hui suddenly laughed, "What a clever child! Has the people in her room dealt with it?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been handled. When our people went there, the man was almost dead. This must be the work of Miss Jiang."

"Oh, it seems that the plan is not going to work. I'm going to disappoint that person after all. Well, let her go back. Tell her that I like this sachet very much and ask her to send more."

"But...if we let him go, what will happen to the Imperial Concubine..."

"I can't do anything about it. At worst, I'll just let her lose her temper. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Jiang Nian was resting in the room when the nanny came in from outside. This time her attitude was much better.

"Miss, Concubine Hui said that she will send you back right away."

Jiang Nian was not surprised. He bowed slightly and followed the nanny out of Cuiwei Palace.

"My dear, my master really likes your sachet. Do you have any more?"

Jiang Nian got on the sedan chair and understood what she said: "I will send someone to deliver it to the queen when I get back."

The sedan chair went all the way to the palace gate, where a carriage was already waiting. The sign said it was from Princess Anle's mansion.

There was already a maid waiting outside. When she came out, the maid bowed respectfully to her and said, "Thank you for your trouble, young lady. Please get in the car quickly."

"Thank you."

The person outside helped her into the carriage. As soon as he opened the curtain, he looked confused and hesitated for a moment.

Who can tell her why it is the King of Yan in the car?

Seeing that Jiang Nian hadn't moved, King Yan said calmly, "Why, you don't want to leave?"

Jiang Nian quickly lowered the curtain and got into the carriage. He slowly sat down and asked weakly, "Isn't this... the carriage from Princess Anle's mansion?"

Prince Yan suddenly chuckled: "So you want to send the palace's carriage?"

......

Okay, she shut up.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing her depressed look, Prince Yan knew that she did not sleep well last night. The harem was no different from other places. Everyone in it was scheming and cunning. If you offended one of them, you would probably never be able to get out.

King Yan had to explore the little girl in front of him more.

On the surface, she seems well-behaved, sensible and innocent, but in fact, she is very cunning. She is indeed capable enough to leave the palace under the control of Concubine Chen.

"Do you feel wronged?" King Yan asked suddenly.

Jiang Nian lowered his head and smiled calmly, "I'm not wronged. With my status, it's a blessing to be summoned by a noble in the palace."

King Yan sighed and said one thing but meant another.

After that, neither of them spoke. The palace was a little distance away from the Jiang residence, the carriage was shaking, and Jiang Nian was drowsy.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm really feeling a little exhausted.

But the person sitting next to him was King Yan, and Jiang Nian was torn between his conscience and his desire to sleep.

But she couldn't open her eyes. Well, it was rude, so what? His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had a good temper anyway, so he probably wouldn't bother with her.

His body shook and he lost consciousness.

A big hand reached out from her side, gently supported her head, and let her slowly lean on the pillow in the carriage.

The girl's face was peaceful as she slept, her brows slightly wrinkled, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her lips pink and tender, yet she looked tired.

King Yan tucked her hair behind her ears and sighed softly.

The carriage traveled for an unknown amount of time until it was about a street away from the Jiang residence. The Prince of Yan finally spoke up, "Stop here for a moment."

This pause lasted for half an hour.

When Jiang Nian woke up, he saw Prince Yan holding a book in the carriage. He noticed his posture and quickly got up.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am being rude."

"Ah."

The King of Yan ordered the driver, "Let's go."

The carriage quickly arrived at Jiang's residence. Prince Yan did not get off the carriage. Jiang Nian thanked him and jumped out.

After entering the mansion, the people at the door ran in to report the news.

Jiang Nian entered the palace, lived in Cuiwei Palace, and spent the night there. Everyone in the palace said it was good news, and they were excited all day and all night.

But only Jiang Nian himself knew that this was a warning.

There were rumors that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was deeply in love with her and even wanted to divorce her and marry another woman. Concubine Chen would not agree, so she asked Concubine Hui to teach her a lesson.

If she had known what was good for her, she would have kept her distance from His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. If she didn't, it wouldn't be as simple as inviting him to spend the night in the palace.
