There was no time to lose. Yan Huaijing immediately left the manor with the pills, but when he stepped out of the courtyard, he bumped into Han Jingshu.
Han Jingshu had already gotten married to him a few months ago and was now his Princess Consort Jing.
Han Jingshu was wearing a royal blue dress with a waist. She was dressed very well. It was unknown if she was about to go out or had just returned.
Yan Huaijing composed himself and said gently, “It’s so late. Why aren’t you resting yet?”
Han Jingshu smiled gently. “How many times have I told Your Highness? Just call me Shu’er.”
“Shuler,” Yan Huaijing called out forcefully. He was in a hurry to enter the palace and did not have the time to deal with Han Jingshu for too long.
Han Jingshu looked at the perfunctoriness and urgency that inadvertently flashed across Yan Huaijing’s face and asked, “Your Highness, are you leaving the manor?”
Yan Huaijing paused and said bluntly, “Ah, I’m going to the palace to deliver some medicine to Father.”
“What a coincidence,” Han Jingshu murmured.
“What’s wrong? Is Shuler also going to the palace? Did Mother summon Shuler?”
“No, Mother didn’t summon me. I said it was a coincidence because I just heard the news that Princely Heir has returned to the Capital and is about to visit Father.”
Although Yan Jiuchao’s return to the Capital was not hidden from anyone, it did not stop at causing a stir in the city, especially when not many people knew that he had entered the palace to visit the Emperor. However, Han Jingshu was not an ordinary woman after all. She was both his Princess Consort and the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Yan Huaijing did not ask Han Jingshu who she had heard the news from. He was in a hurry to enter the palace before Yan Jiuchao, so he said to Han Jingshu, “He could visit all he wants. There’s no conflict.”
Han Jingshu said, “Princely Heir Yan must have heard the news that Father is seriously ill since he rushed back to the capital in such a hurry. Princely Heir Yan is still very filial to Father.”
“It’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, Princess Consort, go back to your room and rest.” Yan Huaijing had no intention of continuing to talk to her. If Han Jingshu was a guest, then Yan Huaijing’s words just now were almost a disguised order to leave.
Han Jingshu pursed her lips. Before she could respond, a maidservant hurried over with a few exquisite brocade boxes. The maidservant bowed to the two of them. “Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Princess Consort.”
“Have you taken everything?” Han Jingshu asked.
The maidservant said, “Princess Consort, I’ve counted them three times and confirmed that I brought them all.”
“You’re going out?” Yan Huaijing asked.
Han Jingshu smiled. “Mrs. Xiao gave birth. During the one-month-old banquet, I caught a cold and couldn’t go to congratulate her. Now that I’m better, I plan to visit Mrs. Xiao and Young Master Xiao.”
Yan Huaijing frowned slightly.
Han Jingshu caught a glimpse of his expression and quickly whispered, “I too, hope you can have one less enemy and one more ally, for Your Highness’s sake. Back then, in order to save Prince Yan, Grand Marshal Xiao sent his troops south. It can be seen that at the critical moment, he’s still the person His Majesty values the most.”
Yan Huaijing said seriously, “He’s Yan Jiuchao’s stepfather! With Yan Jiuchao around, do you think he might join me?”
His tone was a little heavy, and Han Jingshu was slightly stunned. It was not that she did not know that Yan Huaijing actually did not have her in his heart, but ever since the wedding, the two of them had been respectful to each other. This was the first time he had spoken so harshly.
Han Jingshu explained softly, ‘Father said that if Prince Yan has already passed away, then it’s unlikely that Grand Marshal Xiao will join YOur Highness. However, Prince Yan has returned and he still has feelings for Mrs. Xiao. There will definitely be a competition between these two men. As long as we seize the opportunity, Grand Marshal Xiao can be used by Your Highness*
To be fair, Han Jingshu’s words made sense, but Yan Huaijing still felt a little uncomfortable. How close was she to the Prime Minister Manor when a
Princess Consort who married into the Prince Manor kept saying “Father said”? How much did the Prime Minister Manor want to interfere with the Prince Manor?
Han Jingshu bent her knees and bowed. “Shuler and Father are also thinking for
Your Highness. If we have overstepped our bounds, please forgive us.”
Yan Huaijing reached out to help her up. “What are you talking about? You’re my wife, and the Prime Minister is my father-in-law. If you really think about me, I’ll be overjoyed. Why would I blame you? If you want to visit Mrs. Xiao, then go. However, it’s a little late today. I’m worried that it’ll be inconvenient for you to go out. Why don’t you go tomorrow?”
The last sentence was sincerely for Han Jingshu. A trace of joy flashed across
Han Jingshu’s eyes. She looked at Yan Huaijing gently. “Alright, I’ll listen to
Your Highness..”
