They didn't say what they were thinking about, but they exchanged an understanding look. Prince Jing took hold of Yun Shang's hand, restrained his smile and sighed. "At that time, I really thought that I would never be able to see you again. What annoyed me most was that I didn't even have the time to tell you that I had a crush on you. Later on, i think that we have been married for more than half a year, but we are always separated from each other. I haven't had time to accompany you. Then I started to regret marrying you. I'm afraid you'll marry someone else sooner or later if I'm dead. Thinking that maybe someone else will hold your hand, or that they will do something more intimate with you, I got furious. Fortunately, God heard me crying. I was still alive after all..."
Yun Shang didn't expect these words from Prince Jing. She stared at him as if she didn't understand what he meant.
Prince Jing was not in a hurry. He smiled, holding Yun Shang's hand, and whispered, "my identity is something no matter what it is. There will be a way to solve it. It's okay. But I hope that no matter what my identity is, I promise you that you will be my only wife. No matter what happens, you will be with me."
Yun Shang remained speechless for a while. Then she suddenly remembered her first concerto with him, a song called courting a Phoenix, which he said she must be the one to play together with him.
She was surprised and wondered why she suddenly thought of such a thing. She smiled and thought that maybe fate had been decided at that time. "Okay." Yun Shang raised her head and said determinedly, "it's my pleasure to have such an outstanding Prince to accompany me."
Prince Jing was overjoyed and full of love for Yun Shang.
"Master, the doctor is here."
There came the voice of secret guards. Yun Shang was startled. She quickly bowed her head, stood up and opened the door, "just go in. I'll go to see if Qian Yin's food is ready." Then she ran away as fast as she could.
Puzzled, the secret guard looked at Yun Shang for a while, and asked the physician to get in, only to find Prince Jing smiling at him. The physician paused, and turned to the secret guard, "Sir, let the physician have a look at your wound."
Prince Jing said "yes", and the doctor went to him at once...
Since Prince Jing was awake, they came back to the imperial city faster. As Prince Jing said, there will be a solution. Thinking of that, a smile appeared on Yun Shang's face. She kept her eyes on a book, but didn't turn a page for a long time.
Prince Jing leaned against the carriage wall and had a rest with his eyes closed. The atmosphere in the carriage was warm.
"Your Highnesses, we are going to enter the city." There was the secret guard's voice coming from outside. Yun Shang lifted the curtain of the window and looked outside. She was indeed at the gate of the imperial city. She was prepared for it, but still felt heavy.
The guards at the gate of the imperial city were examining the passers-by who would enter or leave the Imperial City, so the carriage stopped. Qian Yin pushed the door open and crawled in. "The snow is so heavy. It snowed heavily on our way here. But it seems we can't make it even if we get there in a minute."
Then she saw Prince Jing was taking a rest. She asked softly, "Your Highness, shall we go back to Prince Jing's mansion first?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and slightly nodded. "I feel tired after a long journey. I'd like to go back to Prince Jing's mansion and have a rest first. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to pay respects to father and mother. It is impolite to go in such a rush."
Qian Yin nodded and said to the outside of the carriage, "Luo Yi, let's go back to Prince Jing's mansion first."
It seemed that the secret guard had informed the mansion of Prince Jing's condition. When they got off the carriage, the butler, who was waiting at the gate, walked up to Prince Jing and held him up. "Your Highness, I've been informed by her highness that your highness was hurt. I was so worried about you."
Prince Jing smiled and looked at the woman who got off the carriage. After she got off the carriage, he took her hand and turned to the butler. "Nothing. Just a little injury."
The chamberlain was clever. He could tell what happened when Prince Jing and Yun Shang got off the carriage. Though he felt relieved when he knew that Yun Shang and Prince Jing came back, he replied, "thank you very much. The servants have already cleaned the mansion. It was the new year's Eve just now. Though Prince Jing and Lady jing were not in the mansion, it's necessary for me to make some arrangements. The place looks more festive. The dinner is ready. But I'm afraid your highness and her highness haven't enjoyed a good meal and taken a good rest on your way here."
"Thank you, sir." Yun Shang smiled and held Prince Jing's arm, walking towards Prince Jing's mansion.
