Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Your Highness?" Seeing that the Crown Prince did not respond, Zhang Wu pushed the box in his hand forward again.

However, the prince still didn't ask him to open it now. This was completely different from what Zhang Wu had expected when he came here. When the prince asked him to deliver the things yesterday, he was still full of expectations. How could there be such a big change in just two days?

Xiao Jingheng looked at what Zhang Wu was holding, pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "Han Desheng, put it in the study first."

"Yes." Han Desheng knew that the prince was a little abnormal, but he still agreed without questioning. In short, he adhered to the saying that serving the king is like serving a tiger, so you have to be careful at all times.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the lost Zhang Wu and asked in a deep voice, "Did you also pass on the letter I asked you to deliver?"

"Yes, but the third lady hasn't even read the letter yet, but she asked her maid to bring out the box and asked me to deliver it to you. She also said that you don't need to send anyone in the future. This is inappropriate." Zhang Wu replied. He also thought it was natural for a girl to make such a request.

"Han Desheng—" Xiao Jingheng heard what Zhang Wu said and called out to Han Desheng who had already walked out the door, "Bring the things here, I want to see them now!"

Han Desheng came back quickly, put the things on the table, and glanced at Zhang Wu who was standing aside. "Guard Zhang, come out with me and wait."

Zhang Wu nodded reluctantly and went outside to imagine the excitement of the prince opening the box.

Xiao Jingheng's mood was naturally unusual when he opened the box. He couldn't guess what Gu Qinghe would give him, but reason told him that it was definitely not something that would make him feel good.

When he opened the box, his mind was filled with the scenes from last night's dream, reminding him that he was sorry for Gu Qinghe. The pain in his heart was no longer just a simple sourness and dull pain, but it felt like hundreds of ants were biting him, the pain was dense and dense, an unprecedented experience.

Should I open it? Maybe if I don’t open it, I can still deceive myself and feel better, but if I open it, I will know what Gu Qinghe put in it.

For the first time in his two lives, Xiao Jingheng felt such an anxious and conflicted feeling, but he was not an indecisive person. After a few breaths, accompanied by a "click", the box opened.

There was nothing inside except a letter. When he opened it, he saw the words written in a very familiar handwriting: "Since we parted, we shall both be well. Forcing things together will only lead to harm. I wish you great success."

There was no signature, but Xiao Jingheng knew that this was the handwriting that Gu Qinghe had practiced with him in his previous life in the Eastern Palace.

There were only a dozen or so words, and the large blank space on the letter paper was in stark contrast to the ink-filled drawing paper that he had sent the day before.

Let's part ways? He can't let go, can't let go.

Isn’t it said that you have to pay back what you owe in your previous life in this life?

"Your Highness, it's almost time to roll in." Han Desheng's voice rang out from outside the door.

Xiao Jingheng sighed deeply, put the letter away and was about to put it back, but he found something bulging under the compartment. He casually opened it and found a hairpin.

Before, he had hidden the wooden hairpin inside in the name of the empress dowager. The hairpin, which he had carved with his own hands, broke into two pieces and lay there quietly.

The cross section is very smooth. It seems that the person who cut it was quick and decisive.

"Bang!" The box was closed with a sound, and Xiao Jingheng fell into the chair behind him. His scalp was numb. He wanted to raise his hand to rub his temple, but found that he had no strength in his hands.

Han Desheng was outside listening to what was happening in the room, and he exchanged a glance with Zhang Wu opposite him. Zhang Wu then belatedly realized that what he brought back today was probably not a treasure.

"Manager Han, please go in and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first. I'll take my leave now." Zhang Wu said with a bow.

Han Desheng nodded and said, "Guard Zhang, please go ahead. If the Crown Prince summons you, I'll ask Baoshun to find you."

Zhang Wu quickly agreed, but thought to himself: It would be best if the prince doesn't summon him in the short term.

A while ago, the prince said that he didn't want to see Zhang Wu in the short term, but now it's the other way around...

Han Desheng was not polite and knocked on the door a few times. There was no movement from inside. He gently pushed the door open and found that the prince looked decadent and was leaning back in a chair.

The Crown Prince has never lost his composure like this before. Can he go to court?

"Your Highness, I'll send someone to Xuanzheng Hall to ask for leave for you. You never miss work all year round, so I'm sure the emperor will approve it." Han Desheng looked at the prince and asked with concern.

"No need. I won't ride a horse today. I'll just prepare a carriage." Xiao Jingheng said.

He just thought that if there was something about him that Gu Qinghe appreciated, or found pleasing to the eye, then it would probably be acceptable for him to be a monarch.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be "I wish you great success" in today's letter, which accounts for a quarter of the words, and she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask about Prince Jin before.

Thinking back to when I heard it, I was complacent and thought that she still cared about me, and even thought that I was in sync with her.

Now that I think about it, what Gu Qinghe cares about is not her husband, but the emperor. It is a minister asking the emperor, not a wife asking her husband...

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. Shall we set off now?"

"Let's go." Xiao Jingheng said expressionlessly.

Xuanzheng Hall

Xiao Jingheng arrived a little later than usual today, and most of the ministers had already arrived.

He glanced around as usual, but when he saw his father-in-law in his previous life, the Minister of Personnel Gu An, his eyes became a little unsure.

If it weren't for her identity and what happened in her previous life, Gu An, who protected his daughter so well, would have gone to her house to ask for an explanation, or found a way to bring his daughter home.

Gu An also noticed that the prince was looking at him, but he felt strange. The prince's eyes looked as if he had done something wrong and was actually apologetic towards him.

Haha - maybe the prince has a change of heart and realizes that he has recognized a wrong sister and caused trouble for Qinghe?

He had a cousin who lived in the palace every day and couldn't take care of her. Fortunately, Qinghe was smart and pulled Princess Yunhua out, so the matter was finally resolved.

Before Gu An finished complaining in his heart, he heard the voice of the chief steward, "The emperor has arrived——"

All the ministers naturally knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

"Everyone, I love you."

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

It was very rare that the emperor did not take the initiative to discuss matters. The ministers looked up and saw that the emperor looked obviously sick and was struggling to sit upright on the dragon throne.

The Minister of Rites took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"explain."

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to choose a Crown Princess for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible."
