Jiang Ning was taking great risks to persuade Chu Yunli not to go.
She might be regarded as a monster...
Or someone who is considered ominous.
If one follows the approach of self-preservation, it would mean staying silent and keeping this matter hidden so that no one would know her secret.
But if this happens, Chu Yunli will die.
Jiang Ning's body trembled slightly and she looked at Chu Yunli, "I know, what I said seems like a fantasy... But believe me, trust me once, don't go to He Province."
Chu Yunli looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Ning nervously tightened her hold on her clothes. She could already predict what he would ask next.
The atmosphere was quiet and solemn, it is so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
"Chu..."
Jiang Ning was just about to speak.
"I believe you." The calm voice fell, and the corners of Chu Yunli's lips curved slightly, raising a faint arc, and the figure of the person in front of him was reflected in his dark eyes.
Jiang Ning didn't react and raised her face which was very surprised.
What did he say?
For a moment she thought she had misheard.
"Chu Yunli, I..."
Jiang Ning opened her mouth in a daze, wanting to speak. The next moment, she fell into a hug.
Chu Yunli hugged her tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and wrapping his arms around her. "A'Ning..." he murmured softly.
He is extremely happy.
Jiang Ning told him what was hidden in her heart. Does it mean that she has begun to trust him?
His heart was racing at this moment, and he had never been so happy as he is now.
Jiang Ning was at a loss when she was hugged suddenly. She didn't know what Chu Yunli was thinking, she was just racking her brains to think of how to explain this.
"Chu Yunli, listen to me..."
"You don't need to explain, I believe you won't lie to me." Chu Yunli hugged her tighter and murmured in her ear.
How could she lie to him?
She pondered all night and came to see him in the middle of the night and told him about He Province, how could it be just to deceive him?
She must have been struggling for a long time...
Chu Yunli stroked Jiang Ning's hair with one hand and whispered, "A'Ning, you can trust me more... I will not ask about your secret, I will wait until the day you choose to tell it to me."
Jiang Ning opened her eyes wide, and when she heard the soft words in her ears, her heart felt like it had been struck.
The tip of her nose was a little sore, and her eyes were filled with tears.
In her previous life, no one was willing to believe her.
No matter how she explained or tried to please others, she would always be met with cold indifference.
But now there is someone who trusts her unconditionally. Even if it is something as unbelievable like the landslide on the way to He Province, he believed her without even asking a single question.
Her long-frozen heart, which had never trembled, was cracking at this moment.
Her eyes turned red and tears fell.
After a while, Chu Yunli let go of his arms, saw Jiang Ning crying, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
He had been waiting for this day for too long.
He had been waiting for Jiang Ning to take the initiative to tell him.
In fact, he had already suspected Jiang Ning's secret, ever since he was in the Jin family's manor.
Jiang Ning looked at the person in front of her and remembered that he had hugged her tightly just now, and the tips of her ears turned red.
It turns out it feels so good to be trusted.
She was like a lonely boat drifting, but now she had found some comfort. Chu Yunli made ripples in her heart.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and brought the topic back to the topic, "So, don't go to He Province. There will definitely be trouble on the way to He Province. This is a trap set by Jiang Mengyue and the Crown Prince for you!"
Jiang Mengyue...
Jiang Ning clenched her fists.
Today's Jiang Mengyue is very difficult to deal with. With the Crown Prince protecting her, it is not easy to get rid of her.
Chu Yunli raised his hand, rubbed Jiang Ning's head, and said warmly, "A'ning, thank you for telling me, but... I still have to go to He Province."
"Why?"
Jiang Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at him in shock, "Why are you still going to He Province? This trip is dangerous..."
The smile on Chu Yunli's face faded little by little, and his expression became serious, "Thousands of people in He Province are suffering. If I don't go, who will save them?"
"Floods in He Province have destroyed farmland and houses. If relief supplies don't arrive in time, how will they survive..."
"Right now, at this very moment, people are dying."
Chu Yunli clenched his fists, "He Province, I still must go!"
Jiang Ning was shocked in her heart, and now she could really see what kind of person he really is.
Yes, he will be a cold-faced, ruthless and upright regent in the future. How could he run away in face of danger and hide in his comfort zone for his own safety?
Even on the battlefield, he is someone who bravely rushes to the front and will never cower and hide behind others.
Jiang Ning's heart fluttered.
Chu Yunli raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound. I will never let the things you said happen."
The words he said calmly and indifferently makes people trust him involuntarily.
What Chu Yunli said today was deeply imprinted in Jiang Ning's heart. No matter what happened in the future, it gave her the courage not to shrink back.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but think to herself.
If Chu Yunli becomes the Emperor, he will definitely be a good Emperor who cares for the people.
.........
Another place.
In Jiang Mengyue's house, Jiang Mengyue wore a layer of gauze, picked up a candle, and lit oil lamps one by one.
Soon the room became brighter.
Then he slowly turned around and looked at the man sitting at the table, "How could His Highness the Crown Prince come so suddenly at night... Is there something you need?"
The Crown Prince's eyes fell on Jiang Mengyue.
She only wore a layer of undergarment and sheer fabric, which highlighted her graceful curves.
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "I received a quick report today that the floods in He Province are serious and we need to send relief supplies."
Jiang Mengyue smiled faintly, walked over and poured the Crown Prince a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, do you believe what I said?"
The Crown Prince's eyes were intense as he took the tea cup and took a sip. "You are indeed my lucky star! My Father Emperor wants to assign disaster relief to me today. Had I agreed to this, I will be in big trouble."
"You said, when I led my elite troops to provide disaster relief, we encountered a landslide and all the relief supplies were washed away... I survived by luck. Although my Father Emperor did not punish me, he neglected me since then..."
It’s scary just thinking about it.
Fortunately none of this happened.
He rejected the matter and left the trouble to Chu Yunli.
"Heh heh." The prince sneered, "Chu Yunli took over the disaster relief work. After this trip, his reputation will be ruined and he will never be favored by Father Emperor again!"
The prince felt delighted when he thought of what was about to happen, and he couldn't wait to see Chu Yunli's lost dog appearance.
The Crown Prince looked at Jiang Mengyue, "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'd probably be in big trouble..."
"It is Yue'er's honor to be able to relieve His Highness' worries." Jiang Mengyue smiled slightly.
