Chapter 886: Chapter 887 You Shouldn’t Have Co… Chapter 886: Chapter 887 You Shouldn’t Have Co… An Jing couldn’t help but feel annoyed, “My adoptive father is the Emperor, my sworn brother is the Crown Prince, and my husband is Prince Yi. How could I not have a high status?”
Gong Jue Chen remained silent, still smiling with a shaless expression on his face.
The more he acted like this, the deeper she believed his sches to be.
An Jing beca even more irritated, “You already know my husband is Prince Yi, how co you don’t pay him respect? When you first t the Fifth Prince, you were scared to death and extrely respectful!”
Gong Jue Chen said with a teasing smile, “The Fifth Prince and the others are the Fifth Prince and the others. I’m not familiar with them, but I am with you. Besides, we are friends, aren’t we? How could I show disrespect by offering formal greetings?”
An Jing retorted, “We don’t have a friend like you!”
“No problem, no problem,” Gong Jue Chen replied, not seeming to care in the slightest, “It’s okay as long as I consider you friends~”
An Jing was speechless. She didn’t believe for a second that Gong Jue Chen regarded them as friends.
“Speaking of the Fifth Prince…” Gong Jue Chen suddenly adopted a very gossip-hungry deanor, “Jingjing, was the assassin caught?”
An Jing gave him a sideways glance, “Whether he’s caught or not, it’s none of your business, is it?”
“It isn’t, but I’m curious.” After a pause, Gong Jue Chen said with a hint of distress, “The Fifth Prince was soone I healed, about to make a full recovery, but then he was gone. It feels like a waste to have saved him. Had I known he was going to die, I wouldn’t have bothered saving him just because he looked good.”
An Jing couldn’t be bothered with Gong Jue Chen anymore.
In his mind, Gong Jue Chen wanted to dig for more information, but thinking that Xiao Changyi and An Jing were not fools, he decided it was better not to ask any more questions, lest they beco suspicious of him.
Being suspected of anything else might have been fine, but if they started suspecting he had so connection with the Royal Family, that would be troubleso.
…
The assassin who killed the Fifth Prince remained uncaught due to a lack of clues, and there was no lead to pursue, which ant that the whole matter of the Fifth Prince’s murder had to be left unresolved, leaving the Ministry of Justice with no way to handle it.
However, ng Zhuqing had been ordered by Xiao Changyi that if he ever encountered Wild Goose Jade, the ‘suspect’ again, he must capture her.
ng Zhuqing didn’t want to fight with Wild Goose Jade or capture her, but he couldn’t defy Xiao Changyi’s orders. So all he could do was pray that he wouldn’t see Wild Goose Jade again.
But no matter how much he prayed, it was to no avail. On the night of May 15th, Wild Goose Jade ca looking for him again.
And again, it was in the middle of the night.
Since it was the fifteenth, the moon hanging in the night sky was perfectly round.
When ng Zhuqing saw Wild Goose Jade appear at his room door, he so wished the person before him was just a hallucination.
“You shouldn’t have co…” ng Zhuqing said softly, looking down at the floor, sighing.
Wild Goose Jade imdiately scoffed, “You don’t want to see ?” She had co specially for him since it was his birthday!
“Want to… and also don’t want to…” ng Zhuqing was incredibly tornted at that mont, for he had to take action against Wild Goose Jade. As soon as he captured her, she would hate him, wouldn’t she?
Wild Goose Jade’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, not quite understanding ng Zhuqing’s words, but she didn’t ask anything and instead entered ng Zhuqing’s room.
Upon entering ng Zhuqing’s room, Wild Goose Jade put the bundle she was carrying onto the round table in the room and said, “This is for you.”
Just as ng Zhuqing closed the door behind him, he heard Wild Goose Jade’s words and puzzledly asked, “What is this…?”
Wild Goose Jade didn’t speak, simply took a seat on a round stool at the edge of the table, her posture relaxed, distant, and her every gesture exuding an air of nobility.
