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

The scene before us was not one of tense confrontation.

Jiang Xianyue also felt that they had only just met, and Shen Qinglan should not have made a move against her under any circumstances. However, there were still some things that Jiang Xianyue was not sure about.

Jiang Xianyue was completely stunned by what she saw.

Before me was a small sea of ​​flowers, with peach trees standing tall, clearly arranged.

This place is definitely suitable for a date.

Jiang Xian Yue couldn't understand Shen Qing Lan's thought process at all, so she got out of the car after going to the Star Palace first and then coming here.

"Second Prince, this is..."

"Miss Jiang doesn't like it?"

"In the mountains, they always say that peach trees are a way to ward off evil spirits. If there is a whole patch of peach trees and no other trees, it is hard to say whether it is the underworld or the world of the living."

What does the Second Prince like about me?

Jiang Xianyue noticed that Shen Qinglan's face had darkened.

It seems I was the one who was oblivious to romance.

No, what's the point of being sentimental with someone who used her and killed her? Jiang Xianyue couldn't say she didn't hate him. Rather than hating him, she felt more that she was useless and that's why she died.

What's the use of hatred? Defeating the enemy is the most important thing.

She's willing to accept defeat; she can afford to lose.

Shen Qinglan took a long time to adjust her expression.

"It's all just idle talk from ordinary people, Miss Jiang, you don't need to take it seriously!"

Jiang Xianyue nodded.

"That's true. What did the Second Prince bring me here for? It's not to admire the flowers, is it?"

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath and became serious again.

"May I call you Miss Xian Yue?"

"cannot!"

Jiang Xianyue showed no mercy.

"We just met, we're not that close yet, so calling me that might be misunderstood by others."

Especially my half-sister, who gazes at His Highness with such affection every day. My life in the manor is already difficult enough, constantly on guard against petty schemes. I dare not try to climb the social ladder, lest I die without even knowing how!"

Jiang Xianyue speaks very directly.

"I fell seriously ill after the palace banquet when I was submerged in the water!"

I don't know how to put it, but I felt that Shen Qinglan was a little embarrassed.

"Father Emperor said that Miss Xian Yue should choose one of the princes she wants to marry. You can find out by asking around in the capital. After the late Empress passed away, my mother, Consort Lin, took over the management of the six palaces. My position in the court is quite powerful."

"If the young lady chooses the future king, it wouldn't be unreasonable to place all your bets on me!"

Shen Qinglan probably remembered just how capable Jiang Xianyue was.

She is a person capable of great things, which is why I have repeatedly made concessions.

No matter the circumstances, Shen Qinglan genuinely disliked Jiang Xianyue's personality. Now that they no longer met, she had become even more eccentric, and several times Shen Qinglan had almost lost her temper.

"Father also wants to see if your destiny as a phoenix is ​​real."

Shen Qinglan patiently guided him.

"In that case, it's good for you and for me, isn't it?"

Jiang Xian Yue frowned. The confession from her past life had come long ago, and Shen Qing Lan's words were all very strange. In her past life, he talked about feelings and pure love, but this was about their love tribulation.

Now he talks about rights and struggles as if he knows exactly what the entanglements between them are.

Could it be?

Jiang Xianyue felt a chill run down her spine upon closer examination.

"Is this what the Second Prince wanted to say?"

"What does it matter to me what the Emperor thinks? In my opinion, the Emperor would rather I choose my ideal husband."

I can't say I'm familiar with any of the princes, and I've only met you, Second Prince, a few times. If I were to choose a husband for me, I'm afraid it would be very difficult!

Shen Qinglan's lips twitched, as if confirming something, and in the blink of an eye, her expression changed.

"Indeed, it was Your Highness who was presumptuous."

Shen Qinglan's gaze instantly turned affectionate: "Actually, there is a selfish reason why I am asking for your hand in marriage. I fell in love with you the first time we met and I hope to be with you."

Otherwise, why would I, Your Highness, waste so much time on this young lady!

Jiang Xianyue felt a chill run through her body. This bastard was too terrifying and too difficult to deal with.

What exactly does he know?

Jiang Xianyue even suspected that what happened in the Star Palace was somewhat deliberate.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xianyue waved her hand.

"Second Prince, could you allow me some time to get to know everyone properly? The Emperor isn't in a hurry, so isn't the Second Prince being too hasty?"

"I am indeed more familiar with the Second Prince than with others, however..."

"Too!"

Shen Qinglan lowered her head, somewhat impatient.

"It's good that Miss Jiang remembers what I said. I'll take you back first!"

……

Back at the Jiang family home, all was quiet.

After taking a bath, Jiang Xianyue sat on a chaise lounge reading a book, wearing only light clothing.

There are indeed too many things that she can't figure out, so Jiang Xianyue is particularly confused right now.

Suddenly, the wind chimes hanging outside the door started to sway.

Jiang Xianyue looked up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Your Highness, are you not behaving like a gentleman? Must you appear at this hour?"

Jiang Xian Yue was extremely flustered and impatient, wondering why Shen Shi Jing had come. It was probably because of Su Yong's matter…

Su Yong is dead!

As expected, Shen Shijing didn't waste any words.

Jiang Xianyue stepped aside to let Shen Shijing come in first, as walls have ears, not to mention the main entrance.

"When I returned to the Star Palace today, I witnessed his death with my own eyes. Not only was he dead, but the Star Palace was also robbed of an important treasure hidden by the Grand Preceptor!"

Jiang Xianyue's voice was indifferent, as if nothing mattered.

"How did you know about Su Yong? You should have taken him away then and saved yourself the trouble!"

"I have my own way!"

Jiang Xianyue remained calm, as Shen Shijing had conveniently come to her, and she just happened to lack spiritual energy.

She leaned closer, having already found a spot that was neither impolite nor inappropriate, and said calmly, "What I'm more worried about is the Second Prince!"

"Second Prince?"

Shen Shijing smiled mockingly.

"Does Miss Jiang wish to recount the details of their date today?"

Although the statement was made casually, the sarcastic tone was unpleasant.

"I think the Second Prince is acting a bit strange."

The matter of rebirth was too mysterious for Jiang Xianyue to mention. However, Jiang Xianyue frowned and said, "Everyone says that the Second Prince is noble and calm, but why does he seem so impatient today?"

Furthermore, the matter concerning the Star Palace is quite ingenious. He sought me out because he wanted the Grand Master to examine me!

What will be tested?

“Disciples of the Xuanmen sect can all detect it. The Grand Master thought I couldn’t tell that what he was holding was a magic weapon.”

Furthermore, the timing of the theft at the Star Palace today is quite convenient, and the things the Second Prince said to me were also rather strange.”

Shen Shijing seemed to have thought of something.

Shen Shijing previously thought he had been reborn and changed everything, which is why many things took a different turn. Jiang Xianyue's unintentional mention today might mean that Shen Qinglan also...
