RPAGF Chapter 395 I haven't thought of you yet, but I love you.
Chapter 395 I haven't thought of you yet, but I love you.
Prince Ning did not leave, but said to the steward, "I want to have a private talk with the Second Miss."
The person in charge was quick-witted. He went to the records room and gave some instructions, transferring all the other people on duty away.
The second sister was displeased upon seeing this: "What are you going to do? I'll go with you."
The official sighed, "Lord Si, the Lord has returned from the brink of death, and the first thing he wants to do is see you. You... can't you at least give him some face?"
The phrase "nine deaths and one life" stirred the second sister's heartstrings, and she did not object.
Prince Ning walked in. The room was poorly lit. She was dressed simply, but she looked much healthier than when she was with him in Lingnan City.
It was perfectly round and smooth, and its beauty was beyond compare.
So when he fell in love with her at first sight, he did everything he could to have her with him.
He stepped forward and called out, "Mu Tong."
The second sister said calmly, "Your Highness, please still call me Second Miss."
Prince Ning seemed not to hear him, continuing to ramble on about his affairs.
"I don't remember anything from the past, I can't even remember that you are my wife. I thought that the strange feelings I had for you were because of admiration, but later I realized that was not the case."
"That day, I was being chased on the mountain. I ran for my life, thinking only of coming back alive and seeing you again. Mu Tong, I can't remember the past, but I remember the battlefield, when I was stabbed multiple times and about to die, I was still thinking of living."
“It wasn’t the instinct to survive, but because I have someone I love. After returning from the battlefield, I became the Prince of Ning, but I still don’t understand who I’m desperately trying to live for. I thought it was the Jiang family, but when I met the Jiang family, I found that they were not the relatives I had imagined.”
"It wasn't until this time that I realized the person I'd been thinking about all along was you."
"Mu Tong, I'm sorry, I forgot about you. I haven't fully remembered you yet, but I've fallen in love with you again. Yes, I love you."
Prince Ning extended his hand.
"Are you still willing to be with me?"
The second sister's tears welled up in her eyes.
He escaped with his life on the line, looking so haggard and disheveled. Was the first thing he did to run back to her and confess his love?
but……
The second sister shook her head: "I don't love you."
Prince Ning stared at her blankly, without saying a word.
The second sister took a deep breath and said, "My love for Sanlang was completely wiped out during that time. Perhaps I still have some lingering feelings, but not because of you, but because of those days. Your Highness, you are not Sanlang."
“I am not Sanlang, I am Xiao Youchuan, but I, Xiao Youchuan, love you, Si Mutong.” Prince Ning took two steps back and smiled slightly. “You don’t love me now, that’s alright, I will always follow you, always…”
He turned and left.
Tears welled up in the second sister's eyes, and she squatted in the corner, covering her face.
The case is closed.
Leaving aside the change in officials, this is a great relief for ordinary people, especially since this incident mainly involved businesses. Merchants in various places have been exploited by officials, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After Zhu Lao Er recovered, Si Muyan had someone send him back to Yuncheng, and everything returned to normal.
However, He Laiqian has not returned yet. He only sent a letter, saying that the village head of Songji Village wanted to invite him back to properly implement the plan proposed by Si Muyan to develop Songji Village into a tourist town.
This was the intention of Fenghuang County, but Song Lizheng felt that he was not smart enough, and thought that Lai Qian was quick-witted, so he asked Lai Qian for help.
Si Muyan naturally agreed and even rewrote a proposal, which she had sent back to Songji Village.
This is something.
The hottest news in Kyoto right now is the Crown Prince's wedding.
The Gui family was enjoying unparalleled prestige, and for nearly a year, Master Gui had become accustomed to living the life of a wealthy and powerful man. Gui Shan's two uncles, on the other hand, were promoted because of the Crown Prince, bringing their positions back to what they had been before their demotions.
This is because of the Crown Prince, and also because of Gui Shan.
The Gui family was very happy, especially Gui Shan's brothers, who treated Gui Shan even better than before. They hoped that if the Crown Prince could recommend a suitable place for them to gain experience, they would be happy to accept.
After the major case concerning the Grand Canal was resolved, the Emperor felt a little more relaxed and asked his younger sister, "Visiting your family is too much trouble. Why don't you invite your sisters, or some of your former close friends, to the palace for a chat?"
The younger sister had an idea and said, "Second sister is very busy. If you really don't have time, that's fine. We can meet again when you have time. But I miss my girlfriends, I haven't seen them in a long time."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Miss Du sang, and Miss Gui Shanshan, who is about to become the Crown Princess. Before entering the palace, Miss Hu gave me a palace flower, which I liked very much."
The Emperor laughed heartily: "What kind of palace flowers do you want? Aren't they available in the palace?"
The younger sister said coquettishly, "What His Majesty gives is naturally different from what my sisters give."
"I still remember that girl, Du Shangge. She's even more reckless than Zhao Ning. I thought you wouldn't associate with someone like her."
The younger sister shook her head: "Your Majesty has guessed wrong this time. Of all these ladies, the one I am closest to is Shangge. She is frank and unpretentious, warm and cheerful, without any ulterior motives. I like her very much."
The Emperor, of course, readily agreed and ordered the matter to be carried out.
The younger sister added, "However, Shanshan should be preparing for her wedding right now. She'll be entering the palace soon, so we can see each other then. If she's not available, then forget it."
The Emperor said, "Preparing for the wedding won't make a difference if we take one more day. It's her good fortune that you care about her."
Du Shangge entered the palace early in the morning, looked around in the garden, and held her younger sister's hand, saying, "I thought I could go to the Zichen Palace to see you."
The old nanny beside her whispered a reminder: "Miss, you should address Her Majesty as 'Your Highness'."
The younger sister waved her hand: "Alright, it's not an important day for an audience. I just wanted to invite my friends over. What's the point of being so formal?"
After dismissing the old woman, the younger sister asked Du Shangge about things outside the palace.
Du Shangge answered each question in turn, and then said, "My marriage is settled. I'll be a cavalry captain in the cavalry battalion, and my aunt is very satisfied."
"Are you satisfied?" the younger sister asked.
Du Shangge pouted and thought for a moment before nodding: "I'm satisfied too, because I plan to take up a position at the Dali Temple. He said that as long as I'm willing, I can go wherever I want, and he won't interfere with me."
Are you satisfied with this marriage, or are you simply satisfied because you want a carefree life?
Du Shangge said, “It’s all the same. I told your second sister, and she said that if I go to Dali Temple, I will have to shoulder my responsibilities and can’t be as playful as I am now. So I won’t be unrestrained. I can also do something for everyone.”
The younger sister patted her hand in agreement.
At this moment, a palace maid brought Miss Hu in.
