"He's using you, don't you know that?"
"I know."
"You still like him even knowing that."
"I like him even if he's using me." Jiang Ning looked at him leisurely.
"You're so spineless."
"I really am spineless." Jiang Ning said, "If someone treats me well, I like them. I don't care if they're good or bad. Haven't I told you that I'm the kind of person who can't resist being treated gently?"
"If you like him so much, why not marry him?"
"Because someone is stopping me. Your Highness should know this better than anyone."
Li Hongyuan didn't speak anymore.
The two were quiet for a while, and then Jiang Ning remembered something: "Didn't you have something to tell me?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Where to?"
"By the Emperor's order, I am to guard the Imperial Mausoleum."
"What?" Jiang Ning sat up straight, "You're really going?"
