Lu Yunyang rested in the palace for another two days and felt much better, but he didn't see Jiang Jiu ask to leave, which made him wonder.

"My lady, you don't want to live in the palace all the time, do you? Shouldn't we go back?"

Jiang Jiu had just returned from outside and felt very sad.

"Okay, go back."

If I don't go back, things will get messed up. When I just entered the door, I saw the governor of Su City and his disappointing second son pleading with the prince, but he didn't even see the prince.

Only Gu Chengyan came out to convey the message, asking him to teach his son well, and not to let him go to jail because the second young master was dying.

They also say that if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Even a prince has to be careful with his words and actions, let alone your child.

The prefect kowtowed and left with gratitude.

Later, Jiang Jiu learned that the dissolute second son had provoked a hot-tempered woman, who had reported him. Knowing that reporting to the prefect was useless, she directly stopped the ninth prince's carriage.

The ninth prince was furious and captured the second son of the prefect and beat him half to death. The prefect then found out about it and rushed to rescue him and plead for mercy.

Jiang Jiu lowered her eyes slightly, but in the end she let her vent her anger for Lu Yunyang's sake.

Having a backer is useful, but it also comes at the cost of Lu Yunyang's efforts.

But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Jiu regretted it.

"You should stay a few more days, my husband. If we leave, you and the prince... won't be able to see each other often..."

Although this kind of relationship is difficult to talk about, she still has to agree to it.

Lu Yunyang was stunned: "Do you meet often?"

"The prince and I..."

No, Lu Yunyang always felt something was wrong. He stared at Jiang Jiu's eyes in confusion.

"What happened between me and the prince?"

Jiang Jiu was very nervous under his stare. His expression was clear as water, but he dodged everywhere, unable to hide his guilty conscience. He had never thought that Lu Yunyang's eyes were so sharp.

Smiling awkwardly, "Nothing, I just think the prince is so good to you..."

"Hmm..." Lu Yunyang hummed softly, expressing his agreement, and casually made up an excuse, "Maybe I'm a more likable person."

She is more than just likable, she is the apple of the Ninth Prince's eye.

Jiang Jiu: "Then we should stay for a few more days. Otherwise, if you leave, the Ninth Prince will definitely be sad and lost."

Huh? Lu Yunyang was puzzled. Did his going there have anything to do with the Ninth Prince?

No, isn't he...

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Jiang Jiu approaching him with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Lu Yunyang was confused: "What..."

Yes, this is a modern word, it is normal that he doesn’t understand it.

Jiang Jiu blushed and tried to explain, using gestures.

Lu Yunyang was frozen, his mind was almost in a tangle, and suddenly he understood what Jiang Jiu said. His eyes widened, and widened again, and he suddenly roared.

"Jiang Jiu...you are so outrageous..."

How dare they say that he has a homosexual tendency? He is an upright man.

Suddenly, her mouth was covered by Jiang Jiu's soft and cool little hand.

"Shh, this is between you and me. Stop shouting, or everyone will know. If the Ninth Prince finds out, he might chop off my head..."

Lu Yunyang widened his eyes in disbelief and forcefully pulled Jiang Jiu's hand away.

"Who told you that I..."

Suddenly, Lu Yunyang grabbed Jiang Jiu's wrist and brought him to the bed.

"I want to show you whether I am gay or not..."

Jiang Jiu was pushed onto the bed by him. Curiosity outweighed innocence. He had an undying heart and a tongue of steel.

"Even if we have something, it can't prove that you and the Ninth Prince are innocent. Maybe you are attracted to both men and women. After all, you are so beautiful..."

Is it even possible?

Lu Yunyang was stunned. His movements were too big and pulled the wound, causing him to hiss in pain.

"What's on your mind all day?"

Jiang Jiu also felt aggrieved, but he felt that she seemed to be wrong about this matter.

"Could it be that you were unwilling? Were you forced by the Ninth Prince?"

Lu Yunyang's breath was choked, and his head felt buzzing: "You, you..."

Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Yunyang innocently and embarrassedly: "How did I find out?"

"It's because when you were injured, the Ninth Prince was more nervous than any of us. Not only did he mobilize the imperial physicians in his palace, he also asked the guards to donate blood for you."

"That's fine, but after you woke up, he came to see you three times a day. It shows he really cares about you. If I didn't even have that much understanding, wouldn't I have grown up in vain..."

Lu Yunyang held her forehead with her hand. This was the case, but it was not what she thought. Was it possible that he was the ninth prince, the current emperor's younger brother, the King of Qi?

And the one who pretended to be the King of Qi was just his secret guard.

But he didn't want to tell Jiang Jiu his identity.

"go home……"

Lu Yunyang felt that he could not stay in the palace any longer. If he stayed there for too long, who knew what Jiang Jiu would think of.

And staying any longer would definitely not be beneficial for his future actions.

That person has started to send people to assassinate him openly. Who knows what dangers will happen in the future.

At this time, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was the most dangerous place, and he didn't want Jiang Jiu to stay there any longer.

Lu Yunyang stood up from the bed angrily, which seemed to further confirm Jiang Jiu's guess, and he actually started to lecture him.

"Oh, don't be angry. Although I don't quite understand the relationship between you and the Ninth Prince, I respect your choice. Love has no boundaries. Between men and women, men and men, women and women, the moment of falling in love is irrational..."

The more Lu Yunyang listened, the angrier he became, and he even laughed out of anger.

"So, you're quite experienced. You've lived in the county magistrate's residence for so many years, never leaving the main gate or the secondary gate. Have you ever fallen in love with anyone?"

Tempted?

A man in black clothes suddenly appeared in Jiang Jiu's mind. Although he was wearing a mask and covering his eyes, he could still be seen as a very handsome man.

When she was in the most danger, he appeared like a god.

He walked out from the cold and dark night, his eyes were firm and sharp, his movements were smooth and flowing, and he was decisive and ruthless.

At that moment, her heart was beating like a deer.

Lu Yunyang waited for Jiang Jiu's answer, but when he looked up, he found that she was lost in thought.

Yes, if he remembered correctly, Xiao Yimo once said that Jiang Jiu already had someone in his heart.

Could it be that the person she is thinking about now is her lover?

With a cold snort, Lu Yunyang poured himself a cup of tea. On the surface, he remained calm and there was no sign of any clues.

The drooping corners of his mouth and frosty eyes betrayed his heart.

Jiang Jiu came back to his senses and scolded, "I was talking about you, why are you dragging me into this? After all, we are still husband and wife in name only. I can just help you cover it up, it won't do me any good at all."

That's right, even if there is a man she is attracted to, he will probably stop bothering her after seeing that she is already married.

Wait, what's in it for him?

In order to cover up his affair with the Ninth Prince...

Lu Yunyang's eyebrows twitched, and his forehead was full of black lines.

"Pack your things and go home."

Jiang Jiu stood up and sorted their bags. Suddenly, Jiang Jiu's expression changed. He took out a ring from under his pillow and looked at it carefully again and again.

"Husband? This...this ring wasn't brought with us, was it?"
