ASTRP -Chapter 210 Returning to the Prince’s Manor to Consummate the Marriage

So she walked over and saw that Xiao Jinghan was still soaking in the wooden tub.

Resting her chin in her hand, she asked, “Your Highness still isn’t done bathing?”

“Does my wife want to help me wash?”

Without turning around, Xiao Jinghan spoke lazily. His long hair had been tied high up, though a few strands had fallen loose against his shoulders.

Feng Jingge let out a silly little laugh.

Before this, she had been confused about many things, but now the road ahead finally seemed bright.

She had found her goal.

And it felt as though both her body and soul had finally settled into the right place.

“Your Highness… your skin is so nice…”

“Then does my wife want to come over and touch it?”

“Your Highness already belongs to me.”

“I can touch you whenever I want!”

Hearing her words, Xiao Jinghan wanted to laugh.

But he still teased her, saying, “Is my wife shy, or just scared?”

“I’m not!”

Xiao Jinghan did not continue exposing her bluff. He simply grabbed his clothes and draped them over himself before stepping out with heavy moisture clinging to his body.

“Ah, let me dry Your Highness’s hair.”

“Dry my hair…”

He opened his arms.

“Give me a hug.”

“Huh?”

“We’re both still alive.”

“Congratulations to my wife for recovering Miss Feng’s memories and learning the truth.”

“And it seems you’ve also managed to persuade Shen Nan.”

“That makes three happy occasions. Shouldn’t we hug?”

“Oh, right, right! We should!”

Feng Jingge stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, rubbing her face against his cool skin.

But suddenly, Xiao Jinghan reached out and fiercely pinched her cheeks.

“Ow, that hurts!”

“Didn’t Your Highness already pinch me back at Witch Gu Mountain?”

“I did… but every time I think about it, I get angry again.”

“When I’m angry, I want to pinch my wife!”

“Can’t my wife do something that reassures me for once instead of making me worry so much?”

Standing on tiptoe, Feng Jingge kissed the corner of his lips.

“But this disaster turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, I never would’ve learned all these things.”

“Soon… once I finish my revenge, we’ll finally get to live happily.”

“My wife will give me children.”

“No problem.”

Xiao Jinghan pressed her head against his shoulder.

“Jingge… when the time comes, you won’t think about leaving me and returning to your world, will you?”

After all, Feng Jingge had once gone back before, and that truly terrified him.

He was afraid that one day her resolve might weaken and she would start looking for a way home again.

Even though he knew she was not someone weak-willed.

But people changed. No one could predict the future.

If she left him again like before, he knew he would never be able to endure it.

“Your Highness, I won’t leave. Even if I do go back, I would bring Your Highness back with me.”

“It’s just that I was afraid you wouldn’t agree, so I never said it out loud.”

Xiao Jinghan had not expected her to think that way. He hugged her even tighter.

“How could I possibly refuse? As long as I’m with my wife, I can live anywhere.”

“Oh right, Your Highness, I know the Empress Dowager’s secret…”

Feng Jingge told him everything she had seen through the original host’s memories.

“Your Highness, are you thinking the same thing? That Feng Qiancheng wants to use the Empress Dowager to seize power?”

Xiao Jinghan sneered. “That depends on whether he actually has the ability.”

“I know Your Highness is powerful, but warfare is full of deception. The fact that Feng Qiancheng managed to hide himself so perfectly for so many years proves he’s definitely capable.”

“Mhm. I know what I’m doing.”

After that, Feng Jingge and Xiao Jinghan went once again to Shen Nan’s palace chambers.

By now, she was already extremely familiar with the place.

It practically felt like returning home.

“Let’s sort out our thoughts and talk about our plans going forward.”

Shen Nan clenched his fists.

“So it really was Feng Qiancheng!”

“I’m going to personally slit his throat. Not only to avenge my sister, but also to avenge Feng Jingge.”

Feng Jingge laughed softly. “I’m going to kill him too. To avenge myself… and also to avenge the original ‘Feng Jingge.’”

“Because I was killed by Feng Qiancheng!”

The two exchanged information about everything that had happened.

Shen Nan stated that he intended to follow Feng Jingge back to Jing Kingdom.

He had to personally cut open Feng Qiancheng’s throat himself.

He refused to just stay behind waiting for news while letting Feng Jingge handle everything alone. That would be no different from not taking revenge at all, and he could not accept that.

“There’s no problem with the affairs of state on my side. Our country is small, and before my mother passed away, she adopted a daughter. Though she’s young, she has always followed me around and was personally trained by me. She also carries the royal family’s unique gu worm, so we can still exchange information remotely.”

After saying this, Shen Nan let out a long breath.

“The next issue is my identity once I reach Jing Kingdom. I’ll become your elder brother.”

He explained that Feng Jingge should head back first. Within a month, Wu Xing Kingdom would send tribute specialties.

And that “specialty” would be himself.

At that time, he would appear as Feng Jingge’s elder brother.

Feng Jingge agreed readily. “Alright. I’ll also refrain from acting against Feng Qiancheng for now. This is something that’ll take a long time to accomplish. It’s just… are you sure you want to be my brother?”

“Not only am I sure, I also want to live in the Prince’s Manor just like you.”

“Huh? Live in the Prince’s Manor?!”

Instinctively, Feng Jingge looked toward Xiao Jinghan.

Narrowing his eyes, he replied, “Living in the manor is fine, but you must obey this prince.”

“If you can’t do that, don’t blame me later for making things difficult for you.”

“Fine.”

Afraid the two men might start fighting because of her, Feng Jingge hurriedly interrupted.

“I think you should reconsider. You—”

Shen Nan waved his hand.

“There’s no need to say more. I’ve already made up my mind.”

In fact, he had already thought even further ahead.

Once the enemy truly died, he planned to take his own life and go find his parents… and find Feng Jingge.

He just didn’t know whether she would forgive him, or whether she would even be willing to speak to him again.

Seeing him like this, Feng Jingge could not bring herself to say anything else.

She merely nodded.

Eventually, they finally decided to return home.

Inside the carriage, Feng Jingge stretched lazily.

At last, she was leaving this land and returning to her own home.

She wondered how Feng Yunman was doing, how the two little ones were doing, and what things were like between Prince Yu and Xi Liyue.

“Your Highness, do you think Prince Yu has managed to win over Xi Liyue by now?”

“And that child too… I wonder if Ning’an and the others have figured everything out yet…”

Whenever she thought of that adorable child, Feng Jingge could not help smiling.

“Your Highness, do you think our child would be just as cute as that little one?”

Xiao Jinghan smiled. “My wife, we haven’t even consummated our marriage yet, so where would the child come from?”

“But since my wife is so eager for a child, your husband can certainly satisfy you.”

Feng Jingge immediately wrapped her arms around him and pushed him down against the carriage wall.

“There’s no one here right now. Did you think I’d still be shy?”

She even took the initiative to kiss him.

“With Your Highness by my side… it feels so good…”

Lowering her head, she captured his lips in a kiss and even gave him a playful bite.

Xiao Jinghan’s gaze darkened.

“My wife, don’t tease me recklessly.”

“So what? Your Highness belongs to me!”

“Mhm. I belong to you… so once we get back, shall we consummate the marriage?”

“Pfft—”

Feng Jingge burst out laughing.
