Upon hearing this, Jun Ning cautiously pulled Jing Shu behind her to protect, then turned around and asked, "Eldest Brother, is there any other instruction?"
The Eldest Prince's gaze settled on Jing Shu behind Jun Ning.
Jing Shu seemed very afraid of him and kept hiding behind Jun Ning under his gaze, unable to lift her head.
Jun Ning didn't know why Jing Shu feared the Eldest Prince, but she tightly protected Jing Shu, not allowing the Eldest Prince to come any closer.
The Eldest Prince did not force her aside nor did he step forward to pull her away but rather kept a certain distance from her, perhaps mindful of her plague infection.
He looked chillingly at Jing Shu behind Jun Ning, and said, "Oh, isn't this the Crown Prince's legitimate daughter? Why is she here as well?"
Jing Shu did not respond, her head hung lower.
"Don't be afraid," Jun Ning comforted Jing Shu while holding her hand, and also said to the Eldest Prince, "May I ask, Eldest Brother, if there's any issue?"
