Chapter 413 Farewell

The Crown Prince certainly knew Ling Jingshu's intention.

She came to thank him!

"Catching the traitors and eliminating the rebels in the court are all my duties, so why should I talk about hard work." The Crown Prince responded with a double meaning: "Speaking of which, you saved my father, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

Except for the Lu family, you deserve the reward, so you don't have to thank me.

Through the veil, I couldn't see Ling Jingshu's expression, but I could only hear her gentle and calm voice: "Your Highness is too polite. Without your care, I wouldn't be where I am today. I should have come to thank you. But now that I am waiting to be married, it is inconvenient for me to come again. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince paused for a moment.

She was telling him that she was going to marry Wei Yan. In order to avoid suspicion, there should be no more private involvement in the future.

I had expected this day to come, and I had been mentally prepared to say goodbye to her completely.

But when it really came to this moment, my heart still felt like it was torn apart.

"Congratulations to you and Doctor Wei." He heard himself respond calmly: "My mother has prepared a gift for the dowry upon hearing the good news, and it will be sent to the Ling Mansion soon. I also have a gift for you."

Ling Jingshu did not refuse, and bowed: "Thank you first, Your Highness."

The breeze blew over, blowing up a corner of the soft veil, revealing half of her beautiful face.

He was so close to her that he could see the bitterness on her lips and the apology in her eyes.

He was so far away from her that there was a deep gap between them and they could never touch each other again.

The Crown Prince's hand trembled slightly, and he clenched it tightly to prevent himself from showing any reluctance: "This is the execution ground, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. If there is nothing else, you and your brother can leave and return to the mansion!"

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao responded in unison and bowed to leave.

The Crown Prince watched Ling Jingshu's figure go away, and felt as if something in his heart had also left forever.

...

An hour later.

When the Crown Princess heard that the Crown Prince had returned, she hurried out to greet him.

The Prince of Yan was imprisoned in the clan residence awaiting his fate, and no one could shake the Crown Prince's position. The Crown Princess's life became more and more comfortable. Although she was busy every day, she could not stop the complacency that emanated from her inside out.

"Ayao, why did you go to the execution ground?"

The Crown Princess was happy to see her son and couldn't help but nagging a few words: "Beheading is bloody, what's there to see. If you have this free time, you might as well spend more time with Nian'er."

When it comes to Nian'er, the handsome face of the Crown Prince, like an ice sculpture, eased a little: "I am busy with court affairs on weekdays, and Nian'er depends on mother to take care of her. Thank you for your hard work, mother."

The Crown Princess sighed: "There are wet nurses and palace maids taking care of her, and I take care of her a little on weekdays, so it's not hard. Jiang has been gone for more than a year, Nian'er can already walk, and is gradually learning to talk. It's better for someone to take good care of Nian'er. You have been guarding Jiang for more than a year, and you are worthy of her. Now that the overall situation has been decided, you should consider remarrying!"

After a year of mourning for his deceased wife, he didn't even have a concubine to serve him. Even if he was from the Jiang family, he couldn't blame the Crown Prince for his loyalty and loyalty.

In the past two months, the Crown Princess has mentioned the matter of remarrying for the fifth time.

The Crown Prince felt annoyed for no reason and replied briefly: "I am busy with court affairs and have no interest in this. Let's talk about this later."

The Crown Princess refused to let him go and glared at him with a frown: "What could be more important than your lifelong event? Are you going to keep guarding like this? You only have Nian'er as your only son now. It is better to marry a virtuous Crown Princess as soon as possible and have more children."

"I have asked someone to prepare a few portraits of ladies in the capital. I will ask someone to bring them over for you to take a look. If you think the portraits are dull, Why not hold another banquet and invite more talented and beautiful ladies to come. Then you can look around secretly and pick one that suits your taste. "

The Crown Prince's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and his voice became more indifferent and impatient: "Mother, I really have no intention of getting married now. Don't worry about this matter."

The Crown Princess's suppressed dissatisfaction immediately burst out: "How can I not care! Look at you, are you thinking about the dead Jiang or Ling Jingshu?"

The Crown Prince: "..."

The Crown Prince's face suddenly darkened.

It's a pity that the woman standing in front of him is his biological mother, and the only person in the Great Zhou Dynasty who doesn't need to look at his face to speak and act.

"When Jiang was alive, you were indifferent to her. Now that she's dead, you're really devoted to her." The Crown Princess looked angry: "You've been waiting for her for a year, do you have to keep waiting?"

"And that Ling Jingshu, she saved your father's life, I'm grateful to her. If you insist on marrying her, I can't object. But Queen Wei has already arranged a marriage for her, and she's going to get married in less than a month. What are you waiting for? Do you want to take her back home?"

These words were more direct and sharp than the last, piercing the scars buried deep in his heart and making them bleed.

Yes! He was sorry for Rongyue!

When she was alive, he didn't treat her well. After she died, he often thought of her, and every time he thought of her, his heart ached.

He was also sorry for himself. He obviously liked Ling Jingshu, but missed the best time to marry her for various reasons.

He was even more sorry for Ling Jingshu.

After Ling Jingshu entered the world, her fate became uncertain, and he, the crown prince, was powerless to do anything.

When she was most dangerous and helpless, it was Wei Yan who stayed by her side to save her from fire and water!

She and Wei Yan hit it off. If Empress Wei proposes marriage, she will marry Wei Yan in a glorious manner, which is enough to make all the ladies from famous families the envy of her.

Lovers get married. There was no place for him between her and Wei Yan. What right did he have to think about her again?

The emperor's grandson turned pale, pursed his lips tightly, and squeezed out a few words: "Concubine, please stop talking."

Seeing the pain on the emperor's grandson's face, the princess also regretted: "Ah Yao, I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just hope that you can let go of your arms and live a more relaxed life. Don't always keep your worries in your heart. "

The emperor's grandson tilted his head slightly, and his voice became a little deeper: "I don't mean to blame my mother and concubine. We will wait until this year to discuss the matter of remarrying."

Rarely, he relaxed.

The Crown Princess did not dare to push too hard and nodded in agreement.

The emperor's grandson added: "Mother, Ling Jingshu once saved my father, and Wei Yan spent half a year recuperating his father's body. Both of them are kind to our prince's palace. The mother-in-law's makeup gift is more generous. "

The Crown Princess immediately smiled and said: "This is natural. I have already prepared it and will have it sent to Ling Mansion tomorrow."
