Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: The Future Tyrant_1

Jin Man is of foreign heritage, originally having porcelain-white skin and emerald green eyes. Now that she’s ill, her complexion has become even more pallid, near to the point of translucence. The blue veins on her forehead were clearly visible.

Her skin seemed almost see-through.

Her once radiant curls were now lackluster.

Limp and lifeless, they drooped on her head.

The sick woman I felt pity for seemed to temporarily lose her mood for attracting the Crown Prince’s attention due to her physical discomfort.

Hearing the Crown Prince take the initiative to inquire about her, she still showed a spark of joy in her eyes: “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Fortunately, with the care of the Princess Consort and Sister Concubine Li, I feel much better.”

“That’s good.”

Li Hongyuan quickly averted his gaze, his emotionless words carrying no trace of genuine concern or caring.

A gloom fell over Jin Man’s heart.

Li Yuanyuan hurriedly said with a laugh, “I have some free time today, so I especially made some light and refreshing snacks suitable for this early summer heat in the kitchen. If Your Highness and the Princess Consort don’t mind, please come and visit me.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Ning immediately agreed.

Li Hongyuan gave her a glance and said lightly, “Go if you want, I have something else to do.”

“You just said you weren’t busy today.”

“Yes, but I suddenly remembered I have some things left undone.”

“Even if you’re busy, you have to rest, right? All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” Jiang Ning tugged at his sleeve, “Let’s go, it’s rare for Concubine Li to be so thoughtful. The weather is so nice, let’s go and sit for a while. I heard that a crabapple tree has blossomed in the Plum Blossom Cottage, it’s quite beautiful, let’s go admire it.”

Li Hongyuan pulled his sleeve out of her grasp: “Concubine Li is very busy, unlike you, who does nothing all day and annoys everyone.”

“Your Highness must not say so, your words make me fearful.” Li Yuanyuan hurriedly said, “Usually, I long for Your Highness and the Princess Consort to visit, but never have the chance. How could I be annoyed?”

“Did you hear that? They’re looking forward to our visit.”, Jiang Ning urged earnestly, “Let’s go, let’s go.”

“You go on your own.”

Li Hongyuan swept his sleeves and left.@@novelbin@@

Jiang Ning frowned, “His temper isn’t great. No one provoked him and he’s this moody. He’s only the Crown Prince now. If he continues like this, who knows if he’ll turn into a tyrant in the future…”

Jin Man stared at her in surprise.

Li Yuanyuan hurriedly said, “Princess Consort, you mustn’t utter such words. Since His Highness the Crown Prince is not interested in my snacks, it is just as well to entertain the Princess Consort.”

She replaced Xiachu, personally supporting Jiang Ning, talked for a while before turned back to call Jin Man, “Jin Liangyuan, if you are feeling well, why don’t you come and sit with me as well? You might as well, instead of going back to rest, or people could say you are sleeping too much.”

Jin Man hesitated for a moment, then shook her head after a moment of deliberation, “Thank you for your concern, Sister Concubine Li, but I think I’ll have to pass this time. The sun has made me dizzy, I wish to go back and lie down.”

“Alright then, we’re off.”

Li Yuanyuan, supporting Jiang Ning, walked a little distance before confirming that Jin Man couldn’t hear them, then chuckled softly.

Jiang Ning inquired, “What are you laughing about?”

“Princess Consort, do you think Jin Liangyuan will really go back to Plum Blossom Cottage to rest?”

“She said she’s feeling dizzy. What else will she do if she doesn’t sleep?”

“Didn’t you notice her eyes? She kept staring at the direction where our Crown Prince departed.” Li Yuanyuan chuckled, “She will certainly be heading to His Highness’s chamber next.”

“Really? Is she well now? Can she serve him in his bed?”

Jiang Ning clearly remembered that Imperial Physician Dong had said that her Red Syndrome would take about half a month to heal, and in the meantime, she needed to rest quietly.
