The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Jiang Xianyue turned around. Because she had just taken a bath, her hair was loose and she was barefoot in the room when she unexpectedly encountered that figure.

Shen Shijing had come to see what was happening, but upon seeing this scene, his gaze froze for a moment.

"Your Highness, this is not a place for you. It seems inappropriate."

Jiang Xianyue wasn't too uncomfortable, after all, she wasn't some lady from a prominent family, and she didn't have the mentality of dying of shame and indignation just from being looked at.

Shen Shijing went inside and asked her, "What exactly happened when you fell into the water? Why were you with your sister instead of with your second brother?"

Moreover, Miss Jiang's abilities don't seem to suggest she was wrongly harmed; I'm just a little curious.

Shen Shijing's gaze was full of scrutiny.

Jiang Xian Yue couldn't say anything because she was distracted when she saw Shen Shi Jing standing with her love rival, chatting and laughing.

Having returned in this life, some things are the same as before, and some things are different. At this palace banquet, she was surrounded and attacked, but Shen Shijing showed no intention of helping her.

Now they've come to watch the fun.

Jiang Xianyue pouted, feeling dissatisfied.

"I was just thinking about some things, but I didn't expect Jiang Ruyan to be so stupid as to try to frame me at this time. These kinds of power struggles in the inner quarters can be really annoying sometimes!"

"That's exactly what Miaomiao said! It's nothing new for matters of the inner quarters to escalate to the palace banquet every year!"

Jiang Xianyue frowned upon hearing Liu Miaomiao's name.

Are His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess very familiar with each other?

"We grew up together!"

At this point, the conversation was getting a bit off, and Jiang Xianyue didn't want to talk to him anymore, even though she felt perfectly justified in doing so.

"Did the Crown Prince come to see me simply to see me make a fool of myself, or...?"

"I can't understand what happened at the Star Palace. I also can't understand why you fell into the water, so I wanted to talk to you about it!"

Shen Shijing seems to have nothing better to do.

"We are going to the Star Palace, and Eunuch Su dares not lie now!"

Shen Shijing frowned.

"It's easy to say. Do you even know what the Star Palace is? Even people with some skills wouldn't dare to barge in. Does Miss Jiang really think she has some extraordinary ability?"

In both her past and present lives, she has never been to the Star Palace.

That place is very mysterious.

"No matter what, we've come this far. If we don't go and see, His Highness's problem will never be resolved. If this continues, your luck will be drained, and you will die!"

Jiang Xianyue spoke, her tone becoming excited.

Just then, another set of footsteps sounded at the door of the room.

"Miss Jiang, are you inside?"

Compared to the former, the latter was much more polite and did not barge in.

However, Jiang Xianyue was still nervous.

Shen Qinglan was here too, like a persistent ghost. Jiang Xianyue didn't know how to deal with him, glancing at the man so close to her. Clearly, Jiang Xianyue didn't want anyone to see her with Shen Shijing.

She always felt something wasn't right.

Shen Shijing was the same, but the room was completely open, and it didn't seem like a place where people could hide.

Only the bed inside.

Jiang Xianyue pointed inside, but Shen Shijing grabbed her wrist. Then Shen Shijing lifted Jiang Xianyue up by the waist and covered the two of them with a thick quilt.

The real reason is that if Jiang Xianyue were seen like this by other men, it would seriously damage her reputation.

Jiang Xian Yue grew up on Wanggu Mountain, so perhaps she was unaware of these intricate details.

Shen Shijing simply didn't want a woman's innocence to be ruined and her to be forced into marriage.

"Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Xianyue was so hot, her face was flushed. She had just taken a hot shower and was now covered with a thick blanket.

Jiang Xianyue was dissatisfied, but still cleared her throat.

"Please come in!"

Shen Qinglan walked in and frowned when she saw Jiang Xianyue lying down.

"Second Prince, if you have something to say, you can just stand here. I just caught a chill and I still feel a little uncomfortable after taking a bath, so I would like to lie down for a while."

It's inconvenient for you to come over!

Shen Qinglan always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"This prince only wanted to come and see the young lady!"

Jiang Xian Yue asked directly, "Jiang Ru Yan didn't complain, did she? This matter has nothing to do with me, but is the Emperor going to blame me?"

Her tone was hesitant and filled with a sense of grievance.

"If Father can see things clearly today, Mother can too, so Miss Jiang need not worry."

At this moment, Shen Qinglan instantly felt that the conversation was going nowhere.

"That's good!"

Jiang Xianyue took a deep breath.

"I'm fine!"

“Miss Jiang, the Grand Master says that your destiny is extraordinary. I am thinking of having you meet with the Grand Master alone.”

The girl always says she doesn't feel any different from others; isn't she curious about these things related to fate and destiny?

Jiang Xianyue paused.

She wasn't curious, because she was an expert in these things, but speaking of the Grand Master, she still wanted to see him. After all, the Star Palace was in the Grand Master's hands, and it would be a good thing if she could use this opportunity to enter the Star Palace.

After all, Shen Shijing and I had already planned this.

Jiang Xianyue thought about it and nodded.

"Then let the Second Prince make the arrangements!"

Shen Qinglan wanted to take another look inside when her maid arrived, bringing in some jewelry.

Upon seeing Shen Qinglan, he bowed to her.

"Why is the Second Prince here too?!"

"I've only come to take a look!"

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Should I fetch the imperial physician? Why are you lying down?"

Jiang Xian Yue became nervous again at the maid's words. She had just said she was going out to get something, and she was afraid that Shen Qing Lan would suspect something.

"I'm just a little cold and tired. You should rest for a bit. I'm afraid we can't go to the banquet for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan said, "I will have someone personally escort the young lady back in a moment!"

"Thank you!"

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, the two went out together. Only after they were far away did Shen Shijing crawl out from under the covers.

The two looked at each other.

"The Second Prince seems to really care about the girl!"

"If the Second Prince has a good relationship with the Grand Preceptor, then going to the Star Palace will be much more convenient."

"This is also for matters concerning His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shen Shijing's gaze was gloomy and unfathomable.

"How could a prince as noble as me not even be able to enter the Star Palace? You just wait!"

After saying that, Shen Shijing got out of bed nimbly.

"Miss Jiang, have you thought this through? I dislike traitors the most. If you have any other intentions, you should put them away now, lest you lose your life because of it!"

"A suspicious man!"

Jiang Xianyue was puzzled; Shen Shijing had already left.

She sneezed twice and felt extremely unwell. Her health was already poor, and falling into the water at this time made her fall ill.
