Chu Shaoyang left the palace early the next morning.
He didn't tell Shen Ning where he was going, let alone what errands he was going to do. She knew there must be a reason why he didn't tell her, so she didn't ask any questions and just sent him out of the house.
When she was about to return to her room, the housekeeper stopped her in front of her and said respectfully: "Princess, please wait a moment. The prince has ordered you to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers first, and then go back to the room to rest later."
She wondered: "Why?"
"This is the prince's order, and the servant is just following the order." The butler replied respectfully.
Shen Ning nodded and went for a walk in the garden without asking any questions.
She sat on the swing and swung for a long time. Speaking of which, Chu Shaoyang built this swing specially for her. He really put a lot of thought into making her happy.
She saw everything he did to her.
She is not a stupid person, how can she not be moved
Before he left, he said that he would get married as soon as he came back.
She leaned her head against the rope and sighed softly.
To be honest, she was not ready to become his wife, but she decided to agree to him and not give herself a chance to regret it.
"Why are you sighing?"
Suddenly, a deep, clear voice sounded from behind her.
She was startled and turned around.
The midday sun shone down from the top of her head, illuminating a young man in black standing upright behind her. His facial features were ordinary, but his eyes were as profound and unpredictable as the sea.
"You... why are you here?"
Shen Ning opened her eyes wide in shock.
Although she expected that he would definitely appear again, she never expected that as soon as Chu Shaoyang walked away, he would appear in front of her with his back legs, and under the noon sun.
"You are so brave, you dare to break into the palace during the day, you..."
She didn't finish her words, because the young man in black looked at her quietly and said:
"Of course I'm here for you."
Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks burned involuntarily.
"Bold! Do you know who I am? How dare you say such things to me!" Her pretty face sank and she said coldly: "If you don't leave, I'm going to call someone."
The young man in black stood there motionless. Although he was dressed in black, he still gave her the feeling of a jade tree standing in the wind.
His facial features were obviously not outstanding, but she couldn't take her eyes away from his face.
"Of course I know who you are, and I know where this place is."
The young man in black raised the corners of his lips, revealing a faint sarcastic smile, but the smile was so faint that it flickered in his eyes.
"This is the Prince of Chu's Mansion. You are the unmarried wife of His Highness the Prince of Chu, but everyone in the mansion has already addressed you as the Royal Concubine, right?"
He deliberately prolonged his tone. She didn't feel any respect at all, but felt it was sarcastic and couldn't help but frown.
"Since you know my identity, leave quickly and I will not hold you accountable for breaking into the palace without permission."
His aggressive gaze and tone made her feel uneasy. Somehow, she felt a great pressure in front of him, which made her flustered and wanted to escape.
In order to cover up her panic, she could only keep a straight face and speak in a cold tone.
"Princess, I am a guard who was just summoned into the palace. I am ordered to protect your safety. It is my duty, so I will not leave." Mo Chuan said calmly.
