Chapter 499 - 154: Searching for Medicine_2

Chapter 499: Chapter 154:

Princess Yongning sat in the hall, with a maid playing the zither on one side. The sound of the zither was quite beautiful and melodious, but the more Princess Yongning listened, the more irritable she felt, and she could not help but show a bit of a sullen expression on her face. Mei Xiang saw this, signaled the maid to stop playing, and quickly leave. After the maid left, the hall returned to quiet.

Fresh fruits and pastries were placed on the table, but Princess Yongning was not interested. She had attended a banquet at the Shen family a few days ago, thinking of taking the opportunity to get closer to Shen Yurong. However, Shen Yurong not only didn’t show happiness, but there also seemed to be a hint of reproach.

She knew the rumors surrounding the Tongxiang case had not completely subsided, but to be paralyzed by this was not in Princess Yongning’s nature. The more cautious and careful Shen Yurong was, the more it infuriated her. If he truly loved her, why would he care about these things? He should be ready to overcome any obstacle to be with her. But looking at Shen Yurong now, it was clear he would only decide to take her as his wife when everything was risk-free.

This was not up to him. A trace of impatience flashed between Princess Yongning’s eyebrows. She wanted to tell Empress Dowager Liu, but Empress Dowager Liu was never very fond of Shen Yurong, probably disagreeing. She could only tell Prince Cheng, who had great admiration for Shen Yurong. If Prince Cheng supported her, the matter should be able to proceed.
