PREGNANT BEFORE THE ROYAL MARRIAGE

Chapter 918: Chapter 918_1

Jiang Ning still felt a bit uneasy: “Jin Man is the Crown Prince’s woman, a legitimate consort. Even if she were to be given away, who would dare to accept her?”

“The Crown Prince has never summoned her to his bedchamber.”

“Even so, it still feels wrong,” Jiang Ning frowned, “What if by doing this it ends up harming Jin Liangyuan? I don’t wish to be implicated in this unnecessarily. It’s better to keep her in the palace to live a quiet life. After all, she will not be mistreated here, with all her food, clothing, and other needs taken care of.”

“Everyone has their own desires. Concubine Li may want a peaceful life, but Jin Liangyuan may not necessarily feel the same. Even if you keep her here, if her mind is always on a man, her heartache will be endless and difficult to sustain for long.”

“Sigh, you’re right, everyone has different pursuits. Jin Man is in the prime of her youth and stunningly beautiful, it’s inevitable for her to yearn for a romantic relationship. If the Crown Prince continues to neglect her, it would indeed be quite painful for her.”

“Exactly. From what I’ve observed lately, Jin Liangyuan seems to be wilting. Her spirit isn’t as lively as before, and there’s no light in her eyes.”

Jiang Ning said: “All she wanted was the Crown Prince’s attention, so much so that she took a potion that made her sterile. But all she got in return was indifference from the Crown Prince. Anyone would give up in despair.”

Huang Ying had sorted out her jewelry and turned around with a smile, “In that case, why don’t you ask Jin Liangyuan what she wants? If she wants a peaceful and wealthy lifestyle, keep her. If she’s willing to leave, then so be it.”

“Alright, let’s go with her wishes.”

Jiang Ning yawned, turned on her side facing the wall, and murmured, “Why is it so complicated?”

Despite feeling sleepy, she was still trying to make sense of the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress.

What kind of power does the Empress possess that ensured the Emperor’s protection even after causing harm to Concubine Jin?

Could it be that everyone misunderstood the Emperor’s feelings, and it was the Empress who was his true love?

According to Jiang Ning’s judgment, that seems highly unlikely.

So, there is only one possibility left: that the Empress has something that makes the Emperor wary.

Could it be the Empress’s family is so influential that the Emperor can’t afford to offend them, just like her own circumstance?

Her free reign in the harem doesn’t stem from her own capabilities, but rather relies on the power of her family.

But Jiang Ning had thoroughly investigated; although the Empress’s maiden family, the Liu family, was noble and wealthy, she couldn’t rely on them for support due to their debauched and pleasure-seeking lifestyle.

If it’s not love, nor influential familial support, then what other reason could there be?

Jiang Ning racked her brains to the point of confusion, eventually falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, she felt someone approach her from behind, that familiar chill oak fragrance filled the air, and she didn’t need to open her eyes to confirm his identity.

“I am your legitimate consort whom you married with pomp and grandeur. You can come here before dark, there’s no need to sneak around in the middle of the night as if we’re having an affair.”

Jiang Ning moved a little closer to the wall, sleepily remarking.

Li Hongyuan reached out his arm, pulling her into his embrace, “Even half-asleep, you are as sharp as a tack. I won’t do anything tonight, just go to sleep.”

“What are you here for?”

“Cannot sleep, so I came to have a look.”

Honestly, Jiang Ning thought, you’re probably just feeling lonely in the long night, unable to sleep. What’s there to hide?

Pretentious, aren’t you?
