Chapter 450 Abandonment

Princess Guangning was dressed in a bright red dress, her soft black hair was styled into a flying bun, and she was adorned with silk flowers of the same color as her dress, which made her fair cheeks look like snow and her appearance gentle and beautiful.

The moment she looked up at him, the fan in her hand covered half of her face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes that met his gaze from afar.

Princess Guangning stopped and stared blankly at Prince Yu.

The man was wearing a dark blue robe, and his expression was as warm as a spring breeze.

But she felt no warmth at all, only a bone-chilling cold.

She tightened her grip on the fan, suppressing the fear welling up inside her, and told herself that the person in front of her was the one she loved deeply, and that she should not be afraid of him.

The inner suggestion seemed to have really worked; Princess Guangning seemed genuinely unafraid of Prince Yu anymore.

She slowly lowered the fan that was covering her face: "Your Highness, are you going out of the manor?"

Prince Yu looked at Princess Guangning, who was approaching him. There was still a trace of fear in her eyes as she timidly walked up to him.

He naturally understood Princess Guangning's thoughts. As an unloved princess sent to a political marriage, her fate was not in her own hands, and she was even bound to him.

Princess Guangning had no choice but to rely on him to survive, so even though she feared him, she had to force herself to get close to him.

"I have some matters to attend to." Prince Yu slowly descended the steps, his gaze falling on the round fan in her hand, embroidered with a peach blossom forest, vibrant grass, and fallen petals, creating a profound and evocative scene: "What is it you wish to discuss?"

Princess Guangning's heartstrings trembled, and she gently pursed her red lips: "I heard from Yun Shu that the Empress Dowager once recuperated here and greatly admired the local customs and culture." After a pause, she said softly, "I would like to leave the palace tomorrow to take a look."

Yun Shu was part of the dowry given to Princess Guangning by the Empress. After being trained by the Marquis of Shou'an's household, she became the Empress's right-hand woman, assisting her in managing the affairs of the six palaces.

Prince Yu was unaware of Yun Shu's true identity, assuming she was just an ordinary maidservant who had accompanied him in his dowry.

Now, hearing Princess Guangning's words stirred something in Prince Yu's heart.

Yun Shu knows the Empress quite well, so he probably has some connection with her.

Prince Yu said, "You are my princess, you don't need to ask me about these trivial matters."

Princess Guangning stared at Prince Yu in a daze upon hearing his words.

Prince Yu nodded slightly and walked past Princess Guangning.

Princess Guangning stood there, watching Prince Yu's figure disappear into the courtyard, her heart sinking to the bottom.

Yun Shu and Yun Ying told her that Prince Yu's men were retreating and seemed to be planning to leave Yongqing County.

Prince Yu did not send anyone to inform her to begin preparing to pack her trunks.

Yun Shu said, "Princess, Prince Yu is cautious and extremely methodical in his actions. His staying in Yongqing County is probably not because he was blocked by the mob, but because he has other plans."

Yunying added, "The fact that we're evacuating now suggests something has gone wrong."

Princess Guangning feared that she would become a burden to Prince Yu and would be abandoned by him in Yongqing County.

Because Prince Yu never wanted to marry her.

If she dies in Yongqing County, Prince Yu can not only get rid of her, but may even use her death to gain benefits for himself.

It's a win-win situation.

Princess Guangning was flustered and afraid that she had misunderstood Prince Yu, so she came over to test the waters.

really……

Prince Yu did not intend to take her with him.

Princess Guangning returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart, looking at Yun Shu and Yun Ying who were waiting there.

She made up her mind: "Aunt Yun, can you do me a favor?"

She absolutely cannot be abandoned by Prince Yu; she must make him take her away.
