Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 148 What am I thinking?

"Abbot, please speak." Xiao Jingheng nodded.

"Your Highness, the fate between people is rare. Now that we've overcome obstacles, we must continue to work hard to maintain them." The abbot stroked his white beard and spoke slowly, "It's like growing flowers. The weeds around them must be eradicated. Otherwise, a seemingly perfect ending may actually be the beginning of future misfortune."

"Thank you for the advice, Abbot."

The abbot didn't say anything else. He just clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and watched Xiao Jingheng leave.

Han Desheng followed closely behind the Crown Prince, who was striding briskly, thinking in his heart that he would talk to the Crown Prince about the palace maid he had met in Yufu Palace before.

Xiao Jingheng's emotions that day were full of ups and downs. First, there was the medicine under the pomegranate tree, and then the Prince of Jin's rude remarks made him extremely angry. Then, when he heard his father say that the day for the wedding had been chosen, he was ecstatic again.

At this time, Xiao Jingheng was leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed. Han Desheng was constantly revising his speech and was about to speak, but he found that the prince had fallen asleep beside him.

Rather than saying that Xiao Jingheng fell asleep, it would be better to say that he was pulled into a dream again.

In the side hall of Yufu Palace, in the wing where Ruan Liuzheng lived, the palace maid knelt on the ground, and Ruan Liuzheng just looked at her nails indifferently.

"Miss Ruan, I didn't mean to tear your clothes." A purple dress with gold embroidered patterns was thrown beside the palace maid.

"This is the gift from Concubine Li to our girl. She just made the clothes and has never worn them. She hung them outside and they were torn into pieces in less than two quarters of an hour. You can't even afford to pay for it with your life." Ruan Liuzheng's maid Xueyan said indignantly.

"Xueyan, stop talking. Judging from her behavior, she didn't do it on purpose." Ruan Liuzheng waited until the maid was frightened before speaking, "Help her up."

"Miss, this dress is what you were going to wear while waiting for the prince to come, and now it has been destroyed by her." Xueyan was still not giving in.

Ruan Liuzheng glared at Xueyan, then stood up and helped the maid off the ground. "What's your name?"

"My name is Rendong." The maid stood there at a loss.

"I don't blame you, I'm just a little puzzled. You usually work in the main hall, so why are you in the side hall today?" Ruan Liuzheng smiled gently.

"Miss Ruan, I'm cleaning for someone else." Rendong replied in a low voice.

"I'm cleaning for someone, but I've run into some difficulties and need money?" Ruan Liuzheng got to the point. She had known for some time that a eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace and the maid named Rendong were from the same hometown, and the news of the misfortune in Rendong's family was relayed by Quan Lu of the Eastern Palace.

"Yes." Honeysuckle lowered her head even lower.

"This is inevitable in life. Now that I know about it, I will help you." As soon as Ruan Liuzheng finished speaking, Xueyan immediately handed over a silver note.

"One hundred taels is not much. Take it." Ruan Liuzheng said, patting Rendong's hand. Rendong knelt down again with tears of gratitude. "Miss Ruan, I have no way to repay your kindness. I am willing to repay you with a valerian ring."

"Get up, and go thank the person who sent you the letter." Ruan Liuzheng said with a faint smile. After Rendong left, the calculation in his eyes disappeared, "This is a wise man."

"Honeysuckle——"

Han Desheng was startled by the prince's voice and quickly served tea, "Your Highness, are you in a nightmare?"

By the way, is this "Lonicera japonica" the Lonicera japonica he was thinking of? Before, when Miss Ruan came to the East Palace, she always brought this girl named Lonicera japonica with her.

But, the prince didn’t even see Miss Ruan, so how did he know about this honeysuckle?

Xiao Jingheng pushed the cup away from Han Desheng's hand and said, "I'm not thirsty. Is there a maid named Honeysuckle in Yufu Palace?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good memory. I just discovered today that there is a maid in the Yufu Palace with this name. Moreover, she often follows Miss Ruan to the East Palace to bring you things." Han Desheng said.

"Stop the car and go to Yufu Palace."

"Your Highness, it's not convenient to enter the harem now." Han Desheng looked up and gestured, but he only saw the roof of the prince's carriage.

"It's inconvenient for me to go, so you go and take the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with you to take this thing called Honeysuckle." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and ordered.

Han Desheng was looking forward to going back to rest, but now he has work to do. "Yes, I will do it right away."

"Zhang Wen, take Zhang Wu and interrogate the eunuch Quan Lu from the Eastern Palace again. Use any means necessary to get to the bottom of this matter. Don't let anyone outside the palace be spared. From now on, intercept any letters from the Ruan family to the Yufu Palace."

"Yes." Zhang Wen quickly agreed and rode his horse to find Zhang Wu to convey the task.

Xiao Jingheng wanted to wait and find out what Rendong and Quanlu were planning to do. He didn't believe that Ruan Liuzheng would become friends with a palace maid for no reason, even when this palace maid's lover was from the Eastern Palace.

It was too much of a coincidence, there must be something fishy. He already had the answer in his mind, but he could not use the speculation from his previous life's dream to convict Ruan Liuzheng in this life.

There is more than one thing going on in life. The wedding date has been set, so the three letters and six ceremonies must be started; and hunting is just around the corner. There will be a battle with the King of Jin, and the King of Jin's wife has sent someone to drug him. All the things need to be dealt with.

Annual hunting is a tradition of the royal family. However, the emperor's health has not been as good as before in the past two or three years, so it has not been organized. But this year is different. The emperor's health has improved, and it is rumored that another concubine in the harem is pregnant.

There hadn't been such good news in the harem for several years. In addition, several princes had also returned to Beijing, which was a happy thing for the emperor as his father.

At the hour of Mao, Han Desheng helped the prince get up and dressed, and then went to wait at the palace gate.

Many people have already arrived. Officials above the fourth rank can bring their families with them. However, at this time, it is still not bright outside and it is difficult to see clearly. Xiao Jingheng looked around carefully several times but did not see the Gu family's carriage.

As the Crown Prince's confidant, Han Desheng naturally knew what the Crown Prince was looking for. He leaned forward and whispered, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is not here."

When Xiao Jingheng first heard Han Desheng say "Crown Princess", he felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, it was still dark, otherwise he would be embarrassed if others saw his embarrassment.

"Aren't you calling her Miss Gu San? Why did you suddenly change the address?" Xiao Jingheng raised his hand to his lips and cleared his throat.

"Oh, Your Highness, I have been wanting to change my words for more than half a year. When I first saw the Third Miss, I felt like she was my master." Han Desheng said with a smile, "My heart is the same as yours."

"What are you thinking?"

Han Desheng was speechless for a moment. Could he say that it was a long-planned plan?

"Of course I hope that you and the Crown Princess will get married soon." Han Desheng said with a smile.
