Jiang Ning pointed at the handkerchief on the bed: “What about that?”

It was to be shown to the Empress and the Noble Consort in the palace the next day.

Prince of Yu nonchalantly suggested: “There are elder matrons and maids with you, they surely can think of some method. Use chicken blood, dog blood, any kind of blood. I don’t care.”

“Good idea. Let’s, sleep then.”

Jiang Ning bent down to take off her shoes and carefully moved onto the bed to lie down.

The red candle flickered in the room, filled with a faint scent, but it was a bit hot.

Prince of Yu said in a cold voice: “Where do you expect this prince to sleep?”

“On the floor, on the table, anywhere. I don’t mind.”

” ” Prince of Yu squinted his eyes slightly.

This woman, seemingly gentle and weak, never gives in an inch.

If it were his usual temper…

This woman will sooner or later die inexplicably.

He took a deep breath, sat next to the table, picked up a tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, and held it to his mouth for a sip, only to find out that it was wine.

Was the teapot filled with wine?

He lowered his head to take another look, slightly frowning, and turned to call someone for tea—

With a “hoo” sound,

Jiang Ning had extinguished the only lantern by the bed.

The room immediately plunged into darkness, only the faint moonlight that seeped through the window allowed the vague view of shadows in the room.

Li Hongyuan said coldly: “Light the lamp!”

“I can’t sleep with the light on.”

“You are on the bed and this prince is on the floor, yet you have the face to say such words.”

“I can’t help it, after all, I am a weak and feeble lady.” Jiang Ning turned to look at him, “Your Highness, if you can’t sleep, why don’t I keep you company with a drink? On our wedding night, we didn’t even have our bridal wine.”

Li Hongyuan ignored her, he lit the dragon and phoenix candles on the table.

Jiang Ning got out of the bed, limped to the foot of the bed, poured him a cup of wine, and said with a smile: “Your Highness, I know you don’t like me, because you had no choice but to marry me, and you are even disgusted by me. As for me, I don’t want to displease you. After tonight, we can each lead our own lives. It’s best if we can pretend the other doesn’t exist, shall we?”

Li Hongyuan responded indifferently: “At least you are self-aware.”

“I definitely am.” Jiang Ning replied with a smile, “Actually, Your Highness, there’s no need to resent me. I’m just an ignorant little girl. I didn’t choose to be crippled. Who have I bothered or provoked? Regardless, this is the most important day of my life. This is the only time I will be married in my life. This cup of wine, is for Your Highness.”

Li Hongyuan glanced at her, didn’t take her cup of wine, poured himself a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

In the front yard earlier, he was already coaxed into drinking quite a lot by his brothers. Fortunately, he always had a good tolerance for alcohol and was still sober.

But, no matter how much of a heavy drinker one is, there’s always a limit.

It’s not really true that one would never get drunk.

Jiang Ning appeared harmless, and after several cups of wine, coupled with the fatigue of a busy day, Li Hongyuan began to feel slightly tipsy.

Seeing him slumped on the table, motionless, Jiang Ning prodded his arm: “Li Hongyuan?”

No response.

It seemed that Knockout Drug she had dabbed on the cup was starting to take effect.

“This two-faced little rascal. Do you think I won’t dare to hit you just because you’re good looking?” Jiang Ning rolled her sleeves up, aiming for his face, and slapped him hard, “You plan to use me and then ditch me in the palace, not caring whether I live or die? I’ll make you wear a cuckold’s hat for a lifetime, raising somebody else’s sons!”

By hook or by crook, she strenuously managed to move him onto the bed after much effort.

She was panting heavily and covered in sweat from the effort.

After a good rest, once she had regained her strength, she began to undress him..
