A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 220 Keep a close eye on 1 point

Let Jiang Mingyun protect Zhou Hanzhang for the rest of her life.

She watched Zhou Hanzhang until she could no longer see her back before turning back.

As she turned around, she saw someone lurking suspiciously in the corridor. She called out, "Who's there?"

Bitao stepped forward timidly, "Miss, I saw that it was so late and I was thinking of telling you to go back and rest early."

Jiang Mingyun's eyes were still a little moist. "From now on, you just need to do your job well. You don't need to worry about me."

After saying that, he walked towards his own yard.

Seeing that Jiang Mingyun had left, Bitao quickly and secretly slipped out.

The eldest prince was discussing today's events with Ye Gui.

"From now on, you should avoid coming here unless absolutely necessary. Although you don't hold any official position now, you are the best person to help me get close to Jiang Mingyun. If people find out that you are involved with me, it will cause trouble."

"I know, but the situation is really urgent today. I was afraid that things would be delayed, so I came here in my own time."

"But Your Highness, please rest assured, I came discreetly, wearing a veil when I went in and out to ensure no one saw me."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's expression softened somewhat. Just as he was about to say something, someone announced, "Miss Bitao has arrived."

The eldest prince frowned and looked at Ye Gui.

Ye Guiyi said coldly, "I didn't know she was coming."

Big Yellow was getting impatient. "Let her in."

After entering, Bitao first respectfully kowtowed to the eldest prince, saying, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

“Your brother has already told me everything that happened today. If you want to talk about today’s events, you don’t need to.”

"I have something else to report, which also concerns Miss Jiang."

The eldest prince then showed some interest. "Get up and answer."

Bitao stood up respectfully. Actually, she wanted to tell the eldest prince that she was pregnant, but knowing his temperament, if she was already pregnant before the princess entered the family, he would definitely make her abort the child.

As for Bitao, she only discovered she was pregnant with the Crown Prince's child in the last couple of days. At first, she was overjoyed, but later, when she thought about related matters, she became terrified.

Given that she is now pregnant, she must help the eldest prince get close to Jiang Mingyun as soon as possible, no matter what.

Tomorrow will be a good opportunity.

As long as Jiang Mingyun's innocence is ruined, and the eldest prince takes the opportunity to say that he doesn't mind marrying her as a concubine, then things can proceed smoothly.

When things settle down and the pregnancy is stable, my baby will be born safely.

"It's like this, Miss Jiang seems to have had a nightmare recently. I don't know the specifics, but since having this nightmare, she has been following the young prince day and night."

The eldest prince scoffed, "What kind of minor prince is Zhou Hanzhang? He's just the son of a good-for-nothing. So what if he has the favor of his father and grandmother? He's just a money-grubber."

He didn't think Zhou Hanzhang could be his opponent at all.

Everyone in the royal family has a good appearance, and he doesn't think he's any less handsome than Zhou Hanzhang.

Bitao quickly adopted a lovestruck expression, looking at the Crown Prince with adoring eyes, "Of course, the Crown Prince's majestic and heroic figure is far beyond his reach. But..."

She changed the subject, and the eldest prince's attention was immediately drawn. "But what?"

Bitao didn't mince words and said directly, "It's just that Miss Jiang is quite..."

She subconsciously wanted to say "Young Prince," but then remembered that the eldest prince didn't like it, so she immediately changed her words, "He trusts Zhou Hanzhang completely. I don't know if he said something to Miss Jiang, but now Miss Jiang doesn't seem to trust me and my brother as usual. Even now, I've been moved to the outer room by Miss to handle miscellaneous tasks."

"What?! Jiang Mingyun sent you to do odd jobs in the outer room?"

The eldest prince frowned deeply.

Bitao knew exactly what he was thinking, and quickly replied, "Although I was sent to do odd jobs in the outer room, I have been with Miss Jiang for many years, and I can easily find out about her whereabouts and what is happening around her."

She glanced at Ye Gui and continued, "Besides, I'm still considered to be staying in Miss's courtyard, and my rank hasn't dropped yet. Even if Miss doesn't let me stay by her side now, I still have a certain say in her courtyard."

Just like today, when my brother came to see me, I could bring him out to meet the young lady, which would also provide some cover for our plan.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my utmost to make Miss Jiang your princess consort."

The eldest prince finally relaxed his brow slightly. "Remember what you said. I don't need people who are useless to me."

Bitao instinctively wanted to put her hand on her stomach, but remembering the Crown Prince's temperament, she held back. "I'm awake."

"Keep a close eye on things tomorrow. Don't mess things up at crucial moments, or you'll have no value."

Ye Gui and Bi Tao's hearts tightened, and they quickly bowed and said, "Yes."

"If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Ye Gui left the First Prince's residence quickly, but Bi Tao lingered, unwilling to leave.

"Is there anything else?"

The eldest prince looked at Bitao, who was unwilling to leave.

Bitao said shyly, "Your Highness, I haven't served you for a long time. A few days ago, I made a very special set of clothes, and I specially wore them today to show Your Highness."

The eldest prince had dismissed the servants before they entered. Seeing that there was no one around except her and the eldest prince, Bitao boldly peeled off her outer garments one by one in front of the eldest prince.

Since learning she was pregnant, Bitao had been worried about the fetus and hadn't made any intimate moves with the eldest prince for a long time.

However, due to Jiang Mingyun's strange behavior recently, she has to let the Crown Prince see another side of her, otherwise she is really worried that she will be abandoned.

She was wearing very little clothing, and with seductive eyes, she leaned against the eldest prince step by step.

The eldest prince's breath hitched, and he pulled her into his arms, rolling her onto the bed.

It was almost midnight when everything was over. Bitao, thinking about the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, could only greedily glance at the still-sleeping First Prince before dragging her tired body back to the Jiang residence.

Although Zhou Tong said that no one needed to pick them up, Zhou Hanzhang still took Xiao Ba to Youjian Bookstore early the next morning.

"The boss is probably still asleep. Wait a moment, I'll go wake her up and open the door."

A short while later, Zhou Tong came out yawning, but she looked much better than when Zhou Hanzhang first saw her.

Well, after all, I have to go out and meet people.
