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

Chapter 200 If you don't like it, then don't do it.

It’s not hard to guess either.

Jiang Jinshuang saw that Zhao Yungui's pupils trembled a few times after she asked that question.

Guessed it.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and tilted her head: "I just don't understand, what did you divine for me? Is this divination very bad?"

Zhao Yun averted his gaze.

My gaze fell once again on the divination result.

"Jiang Jinshuang".

"Ok?"

"I don't really like this divination."

Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Yungui would never say such a thing.

Such words are a bit too willful for a national advisor.

Zhao Yungui has always done a very good job in this regard.

But now, Zhao Yungui says he doesn't like this divination.

Like a child who didn't get the rattle drum he wanted, he threw a tantrum at the divination chart and then told her about it.

With a hint of bad mood.

Jiang Jinshuang laughed out loud.

Hearing Jiang Jinshuang's laughter, Zhao Yungui's gaze fell on her again.

Jiang Jinshuang reached out, pinched the three copper coins in her hand, closed her palm, and when she opened it again, the three copper coins in her palm turned into ashes.

Jiang Jinshuang covered her hands, and the dust fell from her palms, disappearing in the summer breeze.

Zhao Yungui was slightly stunned, staring at the scattered ashes, and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Jinshuang laughed wildly, her lips curving upwards with a hint of arrogance.

"Now, you don't have to dislike it anymore."

for a long time.

Zhao Yungui blinked his long eyelashes lightly: "Jiang Jinshuang, do you know that this is a divination performed for you?"

Jiang Jinshuang nodded, without suspicion: "I know."

"Do you know that I stayed in my room for four days to interpret the divination?"

"I know."

Zhao Yungui took a deep breath: "Then why did you destroy this divination?"

Jiang Jinshuang blinked, looking at him earnestly with clear, untainted eyes: "Because you said you didn't like it."

Zhao Yungui: "..."

What kind of reason is that?

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and looked at Zhao Yungui: "Zhao Yungui, if you don't like it, then I won't take it."

“My fate cannot be confined to a divination,” Jiang Jinshuang laughed ostentatiously. “Zhao Yungui, this divination cannot represent my fate, nor should it dictate your likes and dislikes.”

"Zhao Yungui, if you don't like something, you don't have to do it."

Jiang Jinshuang looked at Zhao Yungui with a serious expression.

Actually, she always felt that Zhao Yungui was too upright.

While being upright isn't necessarily bad, being too upright can easily lead to being taken advantage of.

Even a clay figure has a bit of temper.

Zhao Yungui was like an immortal who remained detached from worldly affairs, seemingly never losing his temper.

—Today, this seems to be the first time that Zhao Yungui has said he "doesn't like it."

He had never said such a thing before.

The national advisor of a country should not have his own likes and dislikes.

That's unfair to Wan Jin.

Dust off the hem of her skirt, Jiang Jinshuang smiled fearlessly: "Zhao Yungui, you've been trapped by this divination for four days, that's too much of a loss."

She herself wasn't worried about her fate.

for a long time.

Zhao Yungui chuckled softly, his posture upright and proper. He knelt on the prayer mat, his hands resting flat on his thighs, his body ramrod straight and dignified.

“Your Highness, those few copper coins of mine are unique and quite valuable.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang's eyes widened, and she stared at him in shock: "Zhao Yungui, you're not going to make me pay for this, are you!?"

Zhao Yungui smiled. Outside the door, Xiao Zhengze carried the food and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Master, and you too, the food is ready!"

Zhao Yun replied in a clear voice, "Then punish Your Highness by having you and Zhengze eat more food."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang's lips curved into a smile.

She got up, followed Zhao Yungui, walked out of the room, and sat on the stone bench.

"Young Master Zhengze, I haven't eaten meat for days, could you please let me have some?"

"Don't even think about it! You bad woman, don't try to take her from me!"

"Uprightness means observing etiquette."

"Master, look at her! She doesn't observe any manners at all when she eats!"

"...Her Highness...is not particular about details."

"..."

Breakfast is over.

Jiang Jinshuang stretched and sat on the stone bench, looking up at the slivers of light peeking through the trees.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed.

Although Zhao Yungui hadn't eaten for four days, he didn't seem particularly hungry. On the contrary, Jiang Jinshuang and Zhengze competed to eat about 70% of the food.

Zhengze cleared the dishes, and Jiang Jinshuang hummed a little tune as she watched him clean up with a smug look on her face.

"Doesn't Your Highness want to know what I've calculated?"

Zhao Yungui spoke, asking her in a clear voice.

Jiang Jinshuang blinked and looked at Zhao Yungui: "I'm easily swayed by flattery; I can only listen to nice things."

After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang smiled and said, "Since the divination is not good, you don't need to tell me. I will be unhappy if I hear it."

Zhao Yungui looked at Jiang Jinshuang and said, "Your Highness should be more mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and waved her hand: "I've been in danger far too many times. I've finally had a few days of peace, so I don't need to be on edge or worry about potential dangers."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yungui said nothing more.

I sat in the courtyard for a while longer.

After resting, Jiang Jinshuang looked at Zhao Yungui and asked, "You won't be going into seclusion again?"

Zhao Yungui raised his eyes and calmly corrected, "It is the interpretation of the hexagram."

It's not a seclusion.

Jiang Jinshuang ignored all of that and simply asked him, "And your answer?"

Zhao Yungui shook his head: "No more."

Jiang Jinshuang nodded in relief, got up from the stone bench, and stretched.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Zhao Yungui raised his eyes: "Is Your Highness going to the palace to see His Majesty?"

Jiang Jinshuang paused her stretching for a moment before staring at him in astonishment, "As expected of the Imperial Advisor, you could even foresee this."

Zhao Yungui pursed his lips: "I didn't foresee that Your Highness, after being released from prison, has not come to the palace to discuss this matter with His Majesty."

Therefore, Zhao Yun guessed that Jiang Jinshuang's visit to the palace today was probably to sound out His Majesty's opinion and see if he still blamed her for leaving prison without an imperial edict.

"Although Your Highness was released from prison without imperial decree, he was brought up by the Grand Secretary after all. Now, the Grand Secretary's position is extremely prestigious, and even His Majesty would not easily refuse him."

After a pause, Zhao Yungui continued, "So Your Highness can rest assured that His Majesty will not be harsh on you regarding your release from prison."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled, her eyes flickering with the dappled light and shadow: "Who said I came to him to beg for his forgiveness?"

Zhao Yungui frowned slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Jinshuang raised her chin and smiled, "I'm here to question him."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Eunuch Kang brought in tea for Jiang Huayan, a slight smile on his lips.

"Your Majesty, Princess Her Highness requests an audience."

At his desk, Jiang Huayan paused his movements and chuckled softly.

Eunuch Kang also laughed and said, "This servant knew that His Highness must have been still shaken after being released from prison. Now that he is feeling a little better, he has come to apologize to you."
