Chapter 61: Tell Him to Get Lost as Far as Possible!
The Crown Prince has been utterly exasperated by these rumors in the past few days, especially since the matter not only involves the Jingyang Marquis Mansion but also the General Han Mansion. The fact that Miss Han from the Han Family turned against her good friend for a man is utterly disgraceful!
Early on, he instructed Su Xingyan to forge alliances with a few young masters of the Han Family to secure General Han’s support.
In the court, General Han has always maintained neutrality, and he has no military power. If the Crown Prince could secure General Han’s support, even if his position becomes unstable in the future, he would have something to rely on. Han Yuxiao is the only daughter of the Han Family and is greatly cherished. If Su Xingyan could marry her as his main wife, it would undoubtedly be a great advantage for him.
However, even the Crown Prince did not expect that an even more spoiled and willful Han Jing would suddenly appear and snatch Su Xingyan away. He also did not expect the situation to escalate to this extent.
This Han Jing is simply a disaster!
"Brother, this time I fell for Han Jing’s trick. I didn’t expect her to come up with such a scheme. But I really don’t want to marry her..." Whenever Su Xingyan thinks of Han Jing, he wishes he could kill her immediately. Marrying her would be worse than death!
But what his brother said is also true. If his position as Crown Prince wavers, he won’t gain anything, and if at this time, he’s sent away by the Emperor to a fiefdom, and later on, someone other than his brother ascends the throne, he will never return for the rest of his life! His life would truly be over!
"Women are meant to be coaxed. Go and appease Han Jing for now. Have you forgotten? In a few days is the autumn hunt. At the Liangshan Hunting Ground, opportunities abound. Do you remember the Liangshang Snow Forest behind Liangshan Hunting Ground?" The Crown Prince patted Su Xingyan’s shoulder and spoke in a low voice.
Su Xingyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at the Crown Prince, who gave him a nod.
An ominous grin appeared in Su Xingyan’s eyes: "I want to see whether, by then, she’ll have any life left after entering Liangshan Snow Forest!"
The two exchanged a knowing glance, and Su Xingyan cupped his hands, "Rest assured, brother, I will go to the Princess Mansion immediately, and I will not mess up again."
The Crown Prince nodded.
Leaving the Eastern Palace, Su Xingyan hurried towards the Princess Mansion.
It was nearing the Wu hour. Han Jing had just practiced yoga for two hours and was sweating all over. Her body was still too frail to engage in intense exercise. Therefore, Han Jing had to take it slow with gentler methods. Coupled with the nightly cultivation of inner strength, her complexion had improved significantly over the past few days.
Dongbao ordered someone to prepare hot water for Han Jing. As soon as Han Jing stepped into the bath, she heard Bo He report from outside: "Prince Ling is here! Already at the door. The Eldest Princess went out today. Shall we let him in?"
Dongbao opened the door and through the screen asked Han Jing whether to see him or not.
Han Jing didn’t have the time to deal with that mad dog Su Xingyan: "Let him get as far away as possible!"
"Yes!" Dongbao immediately perked up. Ever since she found out that her lady no longer liked Prince Ling, she was more excited than anyone else. Not a word of what the Eldest Princess said was wrong; how could Prince Ling ever be worthy of her lady!
As Han Jing’s main maid, Dongbao, accompanied by Bo He, walked out of the courtyard with great authority. The gate guards could not stop Su Xingyan; by this time, Su Xingyan had already reached outside Han Jing’s Chenyu Pavilion!
