Chapter 304 Crown Princess
Liquid fell on his shoulder, and the warm touch made Jiang Lige feel as if he was scalded, and his whole body tensed up.
Jiang Lige had never seen Ning Yunxiao like this before. Even when he was bullied, he never shed a tear, let alone such humble words now.
His love is passionate and sincere, and has never changed in the slightest due to the changes in the world. It should always be cherished.
"No, Yun Xiao." Her heart ached suddenly, and she quickly explained, "Three years ago, my life was indeed hanging by a thread. When you were dealing with Ning Luyang, Jiang Chuchu and the others, Manzhu noticed a pulse in me. Seeing that the battle was at a critical moment, she quietly sealed my heart meridian with medicine, making me appear to be dead. Then she replaced me and brought me back to Youyuan Valley for treatment.
This treatment took about a year. During that time, Manzhu put aside all Chi Clan affairs to focus on my treatment, even turning her hair gray. But when I recovered and returned to Youyuan Valley, the Chi Clan was in chaos. The restorationists, represented by Dunzhu, were hell-bent on restoring the Chi Clan and were making numerous moves. The pacifists, represented by Yifeng, advocated maintaining the status quo and recuperating. The relentless conflict between the two factions roiled the entire Chi Clan.
Ultimately, this incident stemmed from Manzhu's decision to leave her post to treat me. It was only natural that I should help the Chi Clan resolve this problem. So, I returned to the Chi Clan as Manzhu's direct disciple to help Yifeng suppress the Restorationists. Two years passed like this..."
Hearing this, Ning Yunxiao's emotions seemed to stabilize a little, and he raised his head and glanced at her with dignity.
"Why didn't you write to let me know you were safe two years ago?"
Jiang Lige felt very aggrieved. "Two years ago, you were leading the troops to fight Po Xiao. The battle on the front was stalemate. How could I dare to distract you?"
Ning Yunxiao choked and remained silent for a moment before asking again, "What happens after the war ends?"
Jiang Lige replied, "You had just returned to the capital at that time, and Prince Xiaoping was eyeing the situation covetously. The Eastern Palace was in a difficult situation. The Chi Clan was also in turmoil at the time. I know that with your personality, if you knew then, you would have come to Youyuan Valley to find me regardless of everything. The Eastern Palace was in a mess and you had to split your attention to help me deal with the Chi Clan's internal strife. You would have been too busy to handle it. I don't want to see you so exhausted, Yun Xiao. As I said before, I want to be the woman standing by your side, not behind you."
Ning Yunxiao frowned slightly, lowered his head, and lost the intention to argue. He turned his head away awkwardly and muttered without much confidence.
"After all, you always have your reasons."
Look at this look, how can he have the dignity of a Crown Prince? Instead, he looks like a spoiled little girl.
Jiang Lige grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and then she said.
"Yun Xiao, I'm back. I won't leave again, unless..."
She paused for a moment with malicious intent, and the person opposite her was like a civet cat with its fur standing on end, and a strong sense of oppression came over her.
He gritted his teeth and asked her, "You still have unless?!"
A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she readily replied, "Yes, unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no longer needs us and personally asks me to leave."
The man turned his head away and snorted proudly, "You're dreaming."
Jiang Lige climbed up the pole, stretched out his hand to hold Ning Yunxiao's arm, and said with a smile, "If you don't speak, I won't leave."
The soft tone of voice came into my ears, like a spring breeze, easily bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.
The timing was always just right, calling her out from the dusty memories and walking towards him with spring.
From then on, the ice melted away and the flowers bloomed.
He finally saw colors in his own world again.
See, she always has a way to easily...control him.
But even so, he still smiled uncontrollably.
Then he said, "Then stay. The flowers in the yard are blooming. That's what we agreed on."
"Well, we agreed."
She smiled after she said that, and her smile was extremely bright. She emphasized the word "we", which made Ning Yunxiao's smile on his face grow even wider.
Forget it. As someone who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood like him, he has seen countless separations and hatreds. Why should he bother about such trivial matters now and push away his obvious love?
It’s nice to bask in the sunshine, he should cherish it.
Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige reconciled in this way, quietly and yet with great fanfare.
The next day, the two of them happily entered the imperial city together. Jiang Lige met Empress Dowager Jiang, Princess Ronghui, Songyue, Fengquan, Fu Longzhou, Zheng Baoyao, Yu Linglong and others.
After a long separation, everyone tacitly kept silent about the missing past and only looked at the present.
Now, the most important thing is that they can be reunited.
And what about Ning Yunxiao?
He never interfered too much in her affairs. He just sat quietly beside her, watching her interacting with everyone. His heart felt as if it was wrapped in warm water, warm and cozy.
He saw that his heart, which had been broken into pieces, was now being glued together bit by bit and finally restored to its original state.
Ning Yunxiao's attitude of not caring was very obvious, but there were still people who felt sorry for him, such as...
Ye Jiayun.
At that time, Ye Jiayun was still unaware of Jiang Lige's return to Beijing. Seeing that Ning Yunxiao was busy accompanying the young master of the Chi tribe all day, she thought it was just official business.
After all, the last time the Ministry of Rites treated the young prince of the Chi tribe with disrespect, it caused a huge uproar. Not only did the Minister of Rites and his family suffer, but the Vice Minister of Rites was also sentenced to exile. It can be said that this gave the Chi tribe enough face.
Now that Ning Yunxiao can accompany the young master of the Chi tribe, it is naturally for this purpose.
Thinking this, Ye Jiayun entered the East Palace as usual and helped Aunt Fu deal with some backyard affairs.
Normally, these matters should be handled by the Crown Princess, but there is no Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace, so the burden falls on Aunt Fu.
Ye Jiayun was also a person who knew how to deal with things. She often came to the East Palace to chat with Aunt Fu or play chess. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.
As someone who had experienced this, Aunt Fu naturally understood Ye Jiayun's thoughts and was happy to see it happen. So later she turned a blind eye and allowed her to help handle the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. In the past six months, almost all power was handed over to her.
At this point, Ye Jiayun's status in the Eastern Palace has become increasingly higher, and the palace maids and nannies below all privately respect her as the future Crown Princess.
Ye Jiayun really enjoyed this feeling.
Ning Yunxiao seemed to be particularly fond of flowers. Although he didn't have any rare varieties, the flower garden in the East Palace bloomed beautifully all year round.
Ye Jiayun inspected the flower garden as usual, but a thorn got caught on the hem of her skirt. Just as she bent down to untie it, she heard several palace maids from the other side of the moon-shaped gate approaching, chatting along the way.
