After Xiao Niao Niao listened to Jiang Fang's words, he was absent-minded along the way. If it was true as Jiang Fang said, the Queen Mother had never agreed to her marriage to Duan Jiu just because she was worried about herself.
Then, if he helped Xiao Huaiyan tie up the Queen Mother in a secret room, how could he deserve the Queen Mother's love? But it was clear that since Jiang Fang came back, Xiao Niao Niao could no longer see him in the Queen Mother's eyes.
Was he too paranoid? That's why he didn't realize that the Queen Mother still loved him very much. After thinking about it, Xiao Niao Niao became more and more confused.
Although my mind is very clear, I still feel like the whole thing is a mess and I just can't figure it out.
Unknowingly, Xiao Niao was standing in front of the Wanghua Pavilion.
Yes, if the Queen Mother really wanted to marry Jiang Fang and Duan Jiu, then why is Duan Jiu still living in Wanghua Pavilion? Even if the matter has not been notified to the leader of Yue Kingdom, logically speaking, they should not be separated.
If Jiang Fang and Duan Jiu were to become husband and wife, it stands to reason that Duan Jiu should not continue to be held as a hostage in the Yong Kingdom, right? He should have returned to China long ago and come to marry Jiang Fang.
Xiao Niao sighed. It seemed to make sense, but it seemed very far-fetched. Fortunately, Xiao Niao stood motionless at the door and did not dare to say anything. He just looked inside anxiously.
"The eighth princess has arrived------"
Bishui heard the movement outside and hurriedly came up to greet her: "I have seen the eighth princess."
Xiao Niao's thoughts were interrupted, and he quickly said: "No need to be polite, where is the ninth brother?"
Bishui hurriedly said: "Back to the princess, the prince-in-law left early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet. I don't know where the prince-son-in-law has gone."
Xiao frowned. It was so early in the morning, and he and Jiang Fang stayed in the lotus pond for a while. Duan Jiu didn't know where he was going. Could it be that the palace maid was deceiving him?
Xiao Niao Niao winked at Xing Zhi, and Xing Zhi knew what Xiao Niao Niao meant and walked straight in. Bishui didn't stop him much when he saw Duan Jiu, because Duan Jiu was really not there.
After Xingzhi came out, he shook his head at Xiao Niao Niao. Xiao Niao Niao was even more upset. She dressed up early in the morning just to meet Duan Jiu.
Xiao Niao Niao's cheeks are still slightly red when she thinks of Duan Jiu's care yesterday. Duan Jiu has herself in her heart, otherwise why would she send flowers to herself so late?
Duan Jiu still took him to heart, otherwise why would he have worked so hard to cultivate that flower? It was just because of Jiang Fangtong's status as the Queen Mother that he had been holding back, right?
Xiao Niao tightened her fists. She still didn't know what she should do. If it was really like what Jiang Fang said, then she really shouldn't help Xiao Huaiyan treat the Queen Mother like that.
When the time comes, Duan Jiu will naturally be his, but if Jiang Fang is just trying to deceive him, then Xiao Huaiyan is his only hope now.
But after thinking about it, Xiao Niao Niao really couldn't figure out why Jiang Fang wanted to deceive her. Duan Jiu was already her consort, and she was already the third princess. There was really no reason for her to use Duan Jiu to deceive herself.
Xiao Niao was upset and said, "When Brother Ninth comes back, you can tell Brother Ninth that I am here to look for him."
After saying that, Xiao Niao Niao left with Xingzhi. Bishui looked at Xiao Niao Niao's back and shook his head. This girl looked innocent, but deep down she was tainted by this harem.
Duan Jiu was standing in the lotus pond. Early this morning, he came out to relax, but he saw Jiang Fang and Xiao Niao standing by the lotus pond.
Although they were separated by a distance, Duan Jiu could still guess a thing or two about Jiang Fang and Xiao Niao's conversation from the opening and closing of their mouths.
Did Jiang Fang just sell himself out like this? Yesterday, he took the risk to go to the Jade Palace to find out the news for her. Today, Jiang Fang just went along with the flow and dumped himself to Xiao Niao Niao, right?
Although Duan Jiu knew that Jiang Fang's original intention was to stabilize Xiao Niao Niao, and Jiang Fang probably guessed that Xiao Niao Niao was helping Xiao Huaiyan just to get him, Jiang Fang seemed to have underestimated what Xiao Niao Niao wanted.
What Jiang Fang said to Xiao Niao Niao was just to arouse her feelings for the Queen Mother Jiang and to make Xiao Niao Niao stop making mistakes. But when Duan Jiu heard this, she found it very ironic.
Along the way with her, Duan Jiu never thought of quitting because of danger. Instead, he appeared by Jiang Fang's side when he needed it and helped her clear those obstacles.
But now Jiang Fang can say those words easily. Regardless of whether they are true or false, Duan Jiu feels uncomfortable hearing them.
If one day he really needs to make a choice, will Jiang Fang be as easy as saying those words? What exactly do I mean to Jiang Fang?
Jiang Fang's attitude always makes Duan Jiu unpredictable. She is suddenly near and far away, like a gust of wind, which makes people want to hold on but can't.
Jiang Fang felt a little sleepy after returning to Jinxiu Palace. He stayed up all night last night and after talking to Xiao Niao today, he felt less worried.
Looking at Xiao Niaoniao's reaction, she should still have some conscience. Although Empress Dowager Jiang was extremely ambitious and full of lust for power, she was supported by Jiang Huaigu at the beginning.
Xiao Niao Niao was a completely carefree little princess. She was pampered by Queen Mother Jiang and Jiang Huaigu and lived an enviable life.
Now it was just because her return to the palace disrupted everything for her that she resented Queen Mother Jiang. It was just because she had no way to vent her resentment on Jiang Fang.
But Xiao Niao Niao analyzed the pain that Jiang Fang so earnestly expressed today, and she felt it to some extent in her heart. Whether she could rely on Xiao Niao Niao's conscience to find the Empress Dowager Jiang, she could only wait for Xiao Niao Niao's reaction.
Jiang Fang felt a little sleepy. After returning to the palace, he lay down and fell asleep. Duan Jiu, who was enjoying the wind in the lotus pond, unknowingly walked to the entrance of Jinxiu Palace.
He looked at the flowers in the courtyard of Jinxiu Palace and suddenly thought of hugging Jiang Fang here that night, so the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a little.
But when he thought of what Jiang Fang and Xiao Niao said this morning, Duan Jiu's face suddenly turned cold again. He looked at Jinxiu Palace, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while before striding over.
But before she could walk in, she was stopped by Li Chun: "I have seen your consort."
"Um."
Duan Jiu responded lightly and was about to walk inside, but Li Chun stopped Duan Jiu and said: "Prince-in-law, the princess has rested now. She has told the slaves not to see anyone for the time being."
Duan Jiu stopped and asked, "Including me?"
Li Chun didn't dare to look into Duan Jiu's eyes. Jiang Fang didn't say who else but that she was very sleepy and wanted to go back and take a nap without being disturbed.
Li Chun swallowed her saliva and said, "When I replied to the Prince Consort, the princess said no one was allowed to disturb her."
