The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

"Xu..."

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Jiang Li, who was resting her head on the man's legs, almost fell off the seat due to inertia. Fortunately, Li Jinyuan was quick to hug her and she was saved.

The girl's sleepiness was completely disturbed by the commotion. Her eyes widened and there was a hint of helplessness in them.

Li Jinyuan felt a little distressed, so he picked her up and held her in his arms, speaking softly.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll go out and take a look."

When the car curtain opened, Li Jinyuan saw Qi Yu shivering while sitting in front of the car table.

Before he could ask, Qi Yu hurriedly pointed to a woman kneeling in front of the horse's hooves and explained hurriedly.

"Your Highness, it was this woman who suddenly blocked the road, so I stopped the car abruptly, startling you and the princess..."

Li Jinyuan glanced sideways, his eyes were cold and chilling.

Because they were at a distance from the main force, they were quickly discovered by Lin Ci. The young man rode his horse slowly over to check, with confusion in his eyes.

But when he saw the familiar figure kneeling in front of the carriage, the boy's face changed.

"Chun Ming!? Why are you here? What happened to Sister Qing Wan?"

The maid turned around, and her face was already covered with tears from fear.

But the moment she saw Lin Ci, she breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected General Lin to be there. He loved the young lady so much, he would definitely not let himself be punished by the Third Prince...

"General Lin, our young lady, our young lady..."

"What happened to her? Tell me!"

The noise outside was so loud that Jiang Li lost all sleepiness. She pulled aside the curtains and stuck her head out. When she saw the familiar person, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

It's her again... It seems they like to play the same trick a second time.

Due to the blind spot in her vision, she couldn't see Li Jinyuan's figure, nor did she hear his voice.

With her almond-shaped eyes half closed, Jiang Li leaned back on the fox fur cushion again.

Would Li Jinyuan believe the same trick a second time...

Chun Ming knelt down at Li Jinyuan's feet with tears on her face, her tone sad.

"My Lord, you must save my young lady!"

Li Jinyuan did not react, but Lin Ci jumped off the horse in a hurry.

"What happened to her? Tell me!"

"It's autumn now, and the temperature has dropped dramatically. Our young lady was constantly worried about the prince in Changzhou, and she caught a cold without paying attention."

"Now... her weak body has also been triggered by her chronic illness. Not only does she have a high fever every day, but she's also vomiting blood!"

"What!?"

Lin Ci's pupils trembled and his face was full of helplessness.

Chun Ming didn't care about his reaction. The most important thing was the Third Prince...

"Your Highness, please go and see our young lady. She is really dying..."

"I have already said before that if you feel unwell, please call the imperial physician."

The man's tone was cold, as if he wasn't moved at all.

The girl in the car couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, a little surprised by his reaction.

"Your Majesty..."

Not only Chun Ming couldn't believe it, even Lin Ci couldn't help but call him with a look of surprise.

Sister Qingwan contracted this disease when she was a child because she saved the prince. How could he be so cold and indifferent...

"Your Highness! It's because of you that our young lady has ended up like this. Please have some mercy on her..."

"The imperial physician said that her will to live is too weak. Ever since she and the eldest prince were engaged, she has been depressed all day long. Even now, she has been unconscious and has been calling out your name all day long..."

Chun Ming kowtowed continuously, as if Lin Qingwan was really dying.

Lin Ci couldn't help but speak up for her and persuade Li Jinyuan.

The man's face became increasingly cold, and his aura became oppressive.

Well, this time, let’s get everything settled.

"Lin Ci, go call your sister over and ask her to escort Li'er back home."

"Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the carriage.

The curve of Jiang Li's mouth had already straightened after hearing his words, and a self-deprecating smile appeared in her eyes.

Jiang Li, Jiang Li, how could you forget that you are a married couple by agreement, you must not have any feelings...

Fortunately, it was still in time and we nipped it off before it sprouted...

Li Jinyuan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart after seeing the indifferent expression on the girl's face. For some reason, he felt that the distance between them that had been so hard to narrow had returned to the starting point.

He was a little panicked and just hoped that this was all his illusion.

"Lili, I'll let Lin Qingtang take you back home first. I'll be back soon, okay?"

Jiang Li turned her head to look at him, and casually pulled her hand out of his, with just the right smile on her face, just like usual.

"Your Highness, you don't need to explain to me what you want to do. I will return home obediently."

"Pear..."

Li Jinyuan fell silent. It had been a long time since she had called herself a concubine in front of him, nor had she called him Prince...

The familiar yet distant name completely disturbed Li Jinyuan's heart.

"Your Majesty, please go quickly and don't keep others waiting for too long."

The girl's distant attitude told Li Jinyuan that she wouldn't listen to anything he said.

"it is good……"

In that case, he would wait until he had dealt with everything thoroughly before explaining everything to her.

……

Night, the Three Princes' Palace.

Jiang Li had already finished her bath, her long black hair draped behind her, and she was only wearing a thin inner garment.

The girl was lying on the bed holding a sketchbook, reading with great interest, with no intention of turning off the lights to rest.

Zhu Yu was worried that this would hurt her eyes, so she went up to her and advised her to rest.

"Hasn't he come back yet?"

"The Third Prince? It seems not yet."

Zhuyu looked out the window. The lights in the prince's bedroom opposite were still off, so there must be no one there.

So... the princess hasn't slept tonight because she's waiting for the prince?

Jiang Li closed the sketchbook, turned around and blew out the candle.

Haha, you bastard, nothing you say can be trusted.

The funny thing is that she is actually waiting for him. She is really becoming more and more depraved...

"Knock down!"

"Li'er? Are you asleep..."

A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Li turned her head sharply.

Seeing that Zhuyu was about to open the door happily, the girl hurriedly stopped her.

"Don't open it!"

"Why? Princess, aren't you waiting for the prince?"

"Who said I was waiting for him? Anyway, you are not allowed to open it..."

"Oh……"
