Even if the Duke was really deep in love with Princess Hua-Yang, in her heart, which man wouldn't hate the new? Even if they were beautiful, when time passed, they would grow tired of it. Not to mention that the Crown Princess Jing's looks couldn't even compare to hers.

That was why she quickly felt that the Duke must have cared about the face of the Crown Princess Jing, so he intentionally kept a distance from her. This point, she couldn't make much of a difference from the mysterious and confident Princess Feng Yi from back then.

If Yan Yuan knew what You Miao was thinking at this moment, he would definitely kick her out of the palace without giving her any face.

When You Miao had such thoughts, she didn't feel that she was being whimsical towards Yan Yuan at all. She blamed it all on the Crown Princess Jing for being too tyrannical, for being too jealous, and for not letting a woman occupy such a noble man.

However, it was clear that the Crown Princess Jing was simply unable to achieve such a feat. Moreover, she had committed the seventh crime, and that was to be jealous.

When the day comes that the Prince treats her with deep affection, she will definitely ask the Prince to divorce that Crown Princess Jing who doesn't know what's good for him with seven pieces of paper!

After thinking deeply for a while, You Miao had already felt that the noble Prince Jing and Crown Princess Jing was waving to her. At that time, when she gets to the position of the Crown Princess Jing, not only would he have to get the Crown Princess Jing to get out of the Crown Princess Jing obediently, he would also have to bring his short-lived son along with her.

The young prince of King Jing Palace should be her and his son.

Unknowingly, You Miao was already standing in the garden, thinking very far away. She had even already thought about what she would call King Jing's son in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She was even more eager and eager to make the prince fall in love with her.

After returning to his own courtyard, he stayed there for a while before quickly concocting some medicine and going to the kitchen.

It was already two hours after Yan Yuan finished taking care of his official business. When he left the study, the sky had already completely darkened.

His gaze turned towards the main hall in the opposite direction of the study, and that graceful figure was reflected on the door. Yan Yuan's expression subconsciously softened a little.

"That stinking brat should be asleep by now."

When he thought back to the time when that stinking brat had returned from the palace, he'd only had so few intimate interactions with his beloved wangfei that he could barely count the number of times he'd used one hand. If it wasn't for the fact that that kid was his own son, he'd have had the urge to strangle that brat to death.

Moreover, she definitely wouldn't want to "fight for the favor" with his royal father. Unfortunately, he saw that Qing Er nearly scared him to death for the sake of making him sick last time, so he decided not to let her take that kind of risk anymore.

Therefore, in this lifetime, he might not have any more cotton-padded jackets.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt in his heart, to the point where he didn't even notice someone approaching him.

Only when the fragrance of a woman assaulted his nose did a figure rapidly charge at him from the corner. Fortunately, his agility allowed him to dodge to the side when the figure charged towards him.

The man who had wanted to rush at him fell to the ground because he missed his target. The tray in his hand flew away as well. As the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, a brown puddle of water spread on the ground.

When Yan Yuan saw the woman in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned cold. That kind of oppressive killing intent, in the dark of the night, was extremely frightening.

's fall was not light. Just now, in order to make herself look more lifelike when she fell, she had seized the opportunity for Yan Yuan to come over. She stepped on her skirt and pounced forward.

Originally, she had calculated the time and angle. When she fell on Yan Yuan's body, he would reach out to support her, then fall into his embrace.

The moonlight was hazy in such a dark night. This was an ambiguous environment to begin with. Furthermore, the prince was so energetic at such a young age …

You Miao had calculated everything very accurately, but she did not expect Yan Yuan to not even try to support her, and instead, avoided his completely. She fell to the ground in a sorry state, and his carefully dressed bun also fell down, and his hands were covered in skin. He looked extremely miserable, and was completely different from what she had imagined.

And at this time, even though she couldn't see Yan Yuan's expression due to the angle, the sudden drop in temperature and pressure caused her to shudder. Her pupils also shrank in fear, but she did not dare to look in Yan Yuan's direction.

She immediately held back the burning pain in her palm and knelt in front of Yan Yuan, "You Miao disturbed Your Highness, I beg your forgiveness."

Although she was afraid that Yan Yuan would be angered at this moment, she still did not forget to act pitiful in front of Yan Yuan, to make him feel a bit of pity in her heart. She was extremely confident in her appearance, especially with such a weak and pitiful appearance.

Unfortunately, she was wrong. She shouldn't have confused this stone-hearted man in front of her with most of the other men, because the person before her had already given all his gentleness to a woman. And this woman, wasn't her, You Miao.

It was because of her one-sided wish that she stopped at the bad news. She even tried to think of a way for Yan Yuan to focus his attention on her again and again.

But she had to admit that, facing the Yan Yuan in front of her, You Miao was still extremely afraid in her heart. The unfeeling coldness on his body, was as though anyone who took a step closer to him would be frozen to pieces.

In her bottomless eyes, there was indifference, not the slightest bit moved by her pitiful appearance. She was more like a sleeping beast that was suddenly woken up, her eyes filled with anger and bloodlust.

"Scram!"

He was too lazy to listen to her explanation. How could he not know what this woman was thinking? If it wasn't for the fact that she could cure the poison in his body, he would have already chased her away.

He was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of the poison, but he was not afraid of it. After he dies, what should he do with Qing Er and her son?

Now, not only was he his husband, he was also his father. He had promised that he would definitely die behind Qing Er's back, and protect her for the rest of her life, so if she were to leave safely, how could he go back on his promise?

Therefore, no matter how disgusted he was by You Miao's motive and thoughts, he still endured it. As long as this woman didn't think too highly of him, he would be able to tolerate her.

When You Miao deliberately acted so pitifully in front of Yan Yuan, causing her to feel pity for him, waiting for his response, in the end, Yan Yuan had only given her such an embarrassing word. Her body froze for a moment, and her heart suddenly became bitter.
