Li Hongyuan was going to be pissed to death by her.

At this moment, Li Yuanyuan walked to the door, her eyes filled with tears, “Princess Consort, I have finished the dance. Can I go back now?”

Li Hongyuan turned to look at her.

She stood at the entrance, shrinking her neck, looking pitiful.

“From now on, you are not allowed to order her around at will.” After saying this to Jiang Ning, Li Hongyuan went over and took Li Yuanyuan’s hand to leave.

Huang Ying sighed, “Miss, you went a bit too far this time. His Highness’s hand was burned so badly that he probably won’t be able to write tomorrow. The Prince is not one to be trifled with.”

Jiang Ning said, “Whose side are you on? How dare you lecture me?”

“As your servant, I naturally want the best for you, which is why I’m saying this.” Huang Ying advised, “By tormenting Li Teng’s people, aren’t you making His Highness pity her even more and dislike you even more?”

“I just can’t stand him or his father even more.” Jiang Ning sneered.

That short, fat, greedy old man, she kindly took him in and gave him food, but he turned against her, scheming against her. Even now, he doesn’t dare to face her.

Isn’t that guilt?

If she ever had the chance, she would send a few stunningly beautiful vixens into the palace to bewitch the short, fat, greedy old man and ruin his empire.

For the damn Imperial Throne, the royal father and sons have absolutely no integrity at all.

Huang Ying said, “No matter what you do now, His Highness will naturally have to go along with you. But have you ever thought about what you’ll do when the child is born and the Prince takes the child away to be raised by someone else?”

“With the properties in my dowry, I can live a carefree life.” Jiang Ning said.

“You don’t want the child?”

“This brat inherits Li Hongyuan’s genes. What good do you think can come from that? When he grows up, he will fight for power and have multiple concubines.”

Huang Ying was left speechless.

When she thought about it, it was true.

If the Princess Consort didn’t like the Prince, she probably wouldn’t like the child born from him either.

After all, the royal family wouldn’t mistreat the child.

“Tell them all to leave. The noise is giving me a headache.” Jiang Ning said.

Huang Ying laughed, “You called them here, but now you find them annoying. Rather than seeking happiness, you’re clearly trying to provoke His Highness and make him angry.”

“I’d love it if he dropped dead from anger.”

“Whether or not he gets angry is none of my concern. As long as you don’t get angry.” Huang Ying laughed, “At least consider the little prince in your belly. Are you still going out?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll have them prepare the carriage.”

As Li Hongyuan led Li Yuanyuan away from the Crystal Clear Manor, she looked down at the wrist he had grabbed, her heart pounding. She wished that the road would never end.

But who would have thought that just after leaving the gate of Crystal Clear Manor, Li Hongyuan let go of her hand, coldly saying only one sentence: “Go back by yourself,” before turning to leave.

“Your Highness!” Li Yuanyuan grabbed him, “What happened to your hand? This is a large area of redness from the burn, it must hurt so much? Let me put some medicine on it.”

“No need.”

“But Your Highness, seeing your hand injured like this really breaks my heart.” Li Yuanyuan gently tugged at his sleeve, shaking it, “Why don’t you come to my place? I have excellent burn ointment. Once you apply it, it won’t hurt anymore. Hmm?”

Her voice quivered at the end, touching the heart.

However, Li Hongyuan felt annoyed, and his mind was full of Jiang Ning’s casual and seemingly smiling appearance.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong with you?” Li Yuanyuan looked at him pitifully, “You just pitied me and didn’t let me go to the Princess Consort again. Did the conflict just happen because of this? I’m willing to serve the Princess Consort, so please don’t be angry with her for the sake of a servant, especially since she’s still pregnant with our child…”

“I’m just doing this to provoke her.” Li Hongyuan’s eyes were indifferent, “You’re overthinking it..”
