The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 100 Princess, I'm very stupid.

Actually, if you count on your fingers, Yan Jue has been by her side for more than three years.

However, since she had not yet been demoted from the capital, she left the inkstone in Baiyujing to recuperate.

Although Yan Jue's martial arts were taught by her, his own talent was indeed quite good; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach this level in just three years.

While casually tracing the gold thread on the brocade quilt, Jiang Jinshuang suddenly didn't know what to say.

The shock of those handwritten secret letters and defense maps she received today was too great; she was still somewhat overwhelmed.

She was just about to chat with Yan Jue, but after only a couple of sentences, she stopped talking. Isn't that a bit of a joke?

While she was lost in thought, it was the man outside the window who spoke first.

Will His Highness remain in the capital?

Yan Jue had a clear and crisp voice, and a tall and imposing figure.

"meeting."

Without a second thought, Jiang Jinshuang answered like that.

Even after she finished answering, she was momentarily stunned.

Outside the window, Yan Jue seemed to nod, only saying "Okay".

Jiang Jinshuang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Yan Jue, I still don't believe it."

The inkstone remained silent.

Even with the handwritten letter and the defense map in front of me, I still didn't believe it.

Jiang Jinshuang herself couldn't explain why.

She prided herself on not being a particularly obsessive person, but when it came to the matter of Prince Ruiyang, even after reaching the Yellow River and seeing his coffin, she still couldn't give up.

She insisted on jumping into the Yellow River, opening the coffin, and seeing for herself what was going on.

The inkstone outside the window remained silent.

Jiang Jinshuang scratched her face awkwardly and chuckled, "Am I being a little too stubborn?"

The figure outside the window moved.

Yan Jue spoke softly, "That's very good."

Jiang Jinshuang was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Yan Jue, who wasn't well-read, explained in words he could understand: "Stubbornness is also a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang couldn't help but chuckle: "What's so good about being stubborn?"

for a long time.

Jiang Jinshuang heard Yan Jue's cold voice, carried by the night wind, enter her ears.

"Because you are very good."

"So being stubborn is good, disbelief is good, and staying in the capital is also good."

Only one candle was lit in the room. To ensure she could sleep peacefully, Chuntao trimmed the wick considerably, leaving only a few scattered lights.

Jump a little.

"Princess, I'm very stupid."

"But you are fine."
-
In the latter half of the night, Jiang Jinshuang did not have any more nightmares.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, she finally groped her way out of bed.

Chuntao knew she hadn't slept well last night, so she didn't wake her this morning and let her sleep until now.

Jiang Jinshuang asked Chuntao to help her change clothes and wash up, and glanced at the figure outside the window that was no longer there.

"What about the inkstone secret?" she asked.

Chun Tao was tying Jiang Jinshuang's belt when she smiled and said, "Young Master Yanjue said he has some business to attend to outside the capital. He should be back in five days if things go smoothly."

Jiang Jinshuang nodded.

Yan Jue's martial arts skills were so good that he could do whatever he wanted even in Wan Jin, so she wasn't too worried about his safety.

As Chun Tao helped Jiang Jinshuang get dressed, she grumbled with concern, "Your Highness has looked so thin these past few days at the ancestral hall."

"Really?" Jiang Jinshuang pinched her cheek. "Why do I feel like I've gained weight?" Chun Tao frowned. "After Your Highness went to bed yesterday, Mr. Si Ning came to tell me that he wanted to send a few chefs from Yong'an Prefecture to give Your Highness a change of pace."

Jiang Jinshuang smacked her lips nonchalantly: "I eat quite a lot every day."

Chun Tao didn't listen to her at all: "Your Highness also said that you eat less in one meal than the little birds in the manor eat."

"This servant remembers that the shredded pork noodle shop on South Street in the capital, you could eat a whole bowl of it in one sitting."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled innocently: "A beautiful sight is pleasing to the eye. I must have had a great appetite when I had a handsome man by my side."

Chun Tao sighed, ignoring Jiang Jinshuang's nonsense, and muttered, "Alas, it's a pity that the owner of that shredded pork noodle shop moved away, otherwise I would definitely ask for a recipe."

Jiang Jinshuang laughed and said, "Where did it move to? It should be working as a cook in Pei Du's Wenshan Pavilion now."

"Huh?" Chun Tao was stunned, looking blank. "Your Highness must be mistaken. I even went to ask the vendor next door, and they said their daughter got married and the whole family moved to Qiu City."

Jiang Jinshuang's smile faltered.

She suddenly remembered the bowl of shredded pork noodles that Pei Du had sent over the night she was injured.

Although she didn't taste it, the smell alone was exactly the same as the shredded pork noodles from back then.

strangeness.

Jiang Jinshuang frowned, but didn't take it seriously.

Chun Tao felt sorry for him, and frowned as she muttered, "Speaking of Lord Pei, I feel sorry for His Highness. His Highness treated him so well back then, yet he let Xia Yurong jump around in front of you. It was too much."

As she spoke, she began to feel sorry for Jiang Jinshuang, biting her lip and her voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness, you are just too soft-hearted. It's just that back then... that matter, you attributed all the favors to Xia Yurong."

Chun Tao lowered her head, wiping away tears while adjusting Jiang Jinshuang's clothes: "You just want to be a good person..."

Jiang Jinshuang couldn't stand seeing Chuntao shed tears.

She sighed, bent down slightly, and wiped away Chun Tao's tears: "My dear sister, if you cry again, I'll have to use my clothes to wipe your nose~"

Chun Tao smiled through her tears, but was still not very happy: "This servant is feeling wronged on behalf of Your Highness."

“I have been with you since I was a child. I know better than anyone how much you have suffered,” Chun Tao paused, then wiped away her tears. “Your Highness, Chun Tao will always be with you.”

"Although Chun Tao can't be of much help, Your Highness can speak to me if you have been wronged."

Jiang Jinshuang's heart softened.

She smiled gently and playfully pinched Chun Tao's nose: "Who said you can't be of any help? Without you, who would make me snacks?"

Chun Tao laughed and said, "Then this servant will make pastries for Your Highness for the rest of my life."

"Fine! As long as I don't choke to death, I'll eat your desserts for the rest of my life!"

……

After having lunch, Jiang Jinshuang went to the side hall where Pei Du had once lived.

Back when Pei Du was still in the princess's residence, Jiang Jinshuang would often come to the side hall to see him.

This side hall is very spacious, and there are two desks in the sleeping quarters.

When Pei Du was studying in this room, Jiang Jinshuang liked to stay by his side and think about things.

Sandalwood incense burned in the room, and behind the desk was a screen depicting clouds, cranes, pines, and cypresses. The wafting sandalwood fragrance created a very pleasant atmosphere.

When she's in this room, she always seems to figure things out very easily.

Perhaps it was because of the sandalwood, perhaps because of the screen, perhaps because of Pei Du.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't know either.

Now, she has returned to the side hall and sat down at her familiar desk.

Si Ning had lived in this room for some time, but he wasn't delicate and didn't touch the furnishings at all.

On the desk lay a stack of secret letters and defense maps.

Jiang Jinshuang sat at her desk, holding two letters in her hands, comparing them word by word.

She lit sandalwood incense in the room.

I inexplicably drifted off into a daze.

Jiang Jinshuang suddenly remembered that she seemed to have flirted with Pei Du here before.
