Chapter 522: Her Initiatives

Before Wen Ruan could say anything, the woman reached out her hand.

She opened her palm and held a broken jade pendant in her hand.

The jade pendant was lustrous and translucent. It was green and warm. One look and one could tell that it was a high-quality jade.

Wen Ruan looked at the woman in confusion.” Why are you giving me this?”

“This is the jade pendant that the old king gave me when I married him. Later on, I accidentally broke it into three pieces. When I gave birth to Bao ‘er, I gave Bao’ er one piece, and then I gave Yao ‘er another piece.”

“Bao ‘er, take this jade pendant and go to the border to find Yao’ er. He has the royal bloodline. We can’t let the son of a b * tch take over the country.”

The woman stuffed the jade pendant into Wen Ruan’s palm. Wen Ruan wanted to return it to her, but she held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

A hot tear fell on the back of Wen Ruan’s hand, burning her heart like a whip.

Wen Ruan wanted to tell the woman again that she was not her precious child, but when she saw the grief in the woman’s eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The sound of a lock being unlocked came from the main door. The woman seemed to have regained some consciousness. She pushed Wen Ruan and said,” Leave through the back door quickly. Don’t let anyone see you!””

Wen Ruan nodded, then said,” I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come back to see you next time. Take care!””

Wen Ruan walked to the back door and heard the guard who opened the door say rudely,” If you cry again, the Queen said that she will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!”

Goosebumps appeared on Wen Ruan’s arms. He sighed helplessly and quickly left through the back door.

Back in the guest room, Wen Ruan lay on the bed and looked at the broken jade in her hand with mixed emotions.

Her rationality told her that she should not get involved in this mess.

However, something seemed to be pulling her, forcing her to accept this jade pendant.

Wen Ruan’s mind was in a mess. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep.

Wen Ruan woke up when the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Nangong Han’s personal maid knocked on the door and asked softly,” Miss Wen, are you awake?” The King wants you to go to his palace to understand the princess’s condition.”

Hearing that Nangong Xiao wanted her to go to his palace, Wen Ruan’s heart suddenly tightened.

What did he ask her to do?

Wen Ruan didn’t want to see Nangong Xiao. Although she didn’t know why, she felt scared and disgusted from the moment she saw him!

Wen Ruan took out a silver needle from her bag and pricked the acupuncture points on her wrist.

She opened the door and looked at the maid weakly with a pale face.” I caught a cold last night. If I go to see your King, I’m afraid I’ll infect him!”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but cough.

The maid saw that Wen Ruan’s face was pale and he was coughing non-stop. He seemed to be quite ill. She nodded.” Then you should rest first. I’ll go and report to the princess first.””

Wen Ruan stopped the maid.” Please tell the Princess that I’ve caught a cold and it’s inconvenient for me to stay in the palace. I’ll leave the prescription for the diet therapy. The Princess will take it on time and her spleen and stomach will improve.””

The maid nodded and left.

Half an hour later, the maid came over and told Wen Ruan that she could leave the palace.

When she arrived at the entrance of the palace, Wen Ruan saw a black Rolls-Royce driving towards her. Soon, the car stopped in front of her.

The tall and cold man got out of the car. Seeing Wen Ruan’s pale face, he frowned.” Are you feeling unwell?”

Wen Ruan shook her head.” It’s nothing serious. Let’s talk in the car!””

Wen Ruan sat in the passenger seat. It was only after they had driven for some distance that her tensed heart relaxed a little.

Ever since she found out that Nangong Xiao wanted to see her in the morning, her heart felt like it was weighed down by a huge rock. Even though she had successfully left the palace, there was still some uneasiness and fear in the depths of her heart.

“What’s wrong with you? It doesn’t look right.” Huo Hannian parked the car by the roadside and reached out to touch Wen Ruan’s forehead.” You don’t have a fever!””

Wen Ruan pulled Huo Hannian’s hand down and clenched it tightly. After a moment of silence, she said,” Last night, I was taking a walk in the Princess Garden. I heard a woman crying. I had a nightmare!”

Huo Hannian pursed his thin lips.” Don’t go to the palace again. If Nangong Han looks for you, contact me immediately!””

Wen Ruan nodded.” Alright.”

“I’ll send you back to the apartment and pick you up at the airport later.”

Wen Ruan looked at Huo Hannian in confusion.” Why are we going to the airport?””

Huo Hannian’s handsome face looked unnatural. He cleared his throat and said,” I’m going on a business trip, so I’m going to bring you along.””

Wen Ruan bit her lips and said softly,” I can’t go on a business trip with you. I plan to take leave and go home.””

Although the two of them had the most intimate relationship, Huo Hannian did not know much about Wen Ruan. He did not even know where her home was.

“Back where?”

“Cloud City, China.”

Huo Hannian frowned. It was his birthday the day after tomorrow, and he was going to Country M for a business trip. He had planned to bring her along and spend the rest of his life with her there, but now that she was going back to Yun Cheng, he definitely wouldn’t be able to make it back in time.

Huo Hannian pursed his thin lips.” Is there anything urgent at home?””
