Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When Yongqi came to her house angrily, Xiaoyanzi was still calm and composed. She sat on the bed, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, eating them and humming a little tune. When she saw Yongqi coming in, Xiaoyanzi just glanced at him indifferently and continued eating melon seeds.

Even if she did something wrong, she remained calm and composed.

"Yongqi!" Xiaoyanzi now stays in this small courtyard every day, unable to do anything. Her only hope is that Yongqi can come to see her.

But these days, Yongqi seemed to have figured it out. He stayed in the study every day and didn't know what he was doing. When asked, he didn't tell her, only saying that he would tell her after the matter was done. Xiaoyanzi didn't ask questions like before, but she was happy every time Yongqi came, and this time was no exception.

"Yongqi, come here and look what I got! Melon seeds! Can we eat melon seeds together?" Xiaoyanzi said with a smile.

She seemed to have forgotten what she had just done.

Yongqi was so angry that his face turned red. He looked at Xiaoyanzi with no longer affectionate eyes, as if Xiaoyanzi was his enemy. He strode to the bedside, glared at Xiaoyanzi, and said in a low and cold voice: "Xiaoyanzi, what are you doing? Why are you doing this to me?"

Xiaoyanzi was frightened by Yongqi's momentum, and the melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground. She widened her eyes, looked at Yongqi, and said innocently: "Yongqi, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"

Yongqi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He said slowly: "Xiaoyanzi, you know what? I have been trying to change our situation, but you get into trouble again and again. What did you do to Xinrong? Do you know what this means to me?"

Yongqi accused bitterly that he had not expected his Xiaoyanzi to become such a vicious woman.

Xiaoyanzi felt nervous after hearing Yongqi's words. She suddenly remembered what happened just now, and a trace of guilt appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

She said softly, "Yongqi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... I was just in a bad mood and I did this on impulse."

Yongqi shook his head, a trace of pain and disappointment flashed in his eyes. He said: "Xiaoyanzi, you are always like this, never considering the consequences of doing things. Do you think that an apology can solve all problems?"

Xiaoyanzi lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Now she had learned to give in and show weakness. Anyway, Yongqi would always succumb to her tears, and this time would be no exception.

She choked up and said, "Yongqi, I really know I was wrong. I won't do this again. Please forgive me, okay?"

Yongqi turned his eyes away with reluctance. He really wanted to forgive Xiaoyanzi, just like he did before.

He really couldn't look directly at Xiaoyanzi's stubborn and aggrieved face. He knew that he had feelings for her. He once loved her so much that he could even give up wealth and glory just to be with her. But now...

"Xiaoyanzi, how could you be so cruel to hurt Xinrong?" Yongqi finally couldn't help but speak, his voice filled with helplessness and pain.

Xiaoyanzi's eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked and said, "I am the victim! You locked me up, restricted my freedom, and let Xinrong insult me! I was just teaching her a lesson!"

She didn't want to stay in this cage-like palace at all, but because of love, she trapped herself in it, but in return she was betrayed by Yongqi again and again.

He had no idea how sad she felt every time she saw Xinrong's belly.

Yongqi shook his head, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Xiaoyanzi, you have changed. You are no longer the kind and lovely Xiaoyanzi."

"No, I haven't changed!" Xiaoyanzi shouted excitedly, "You are the ones who have changed! You all bully me!"

Yongqi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Xiaoyanzi, no matter what, Xinrong is pregnant. She is pregnant with my child. If you really love me, you should accept this fact."

"I can't accept it!" Xiaoyanzi screamed hysterically, "I don't want to be the third party, I don't want to destroy other people's families!"

Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi, his heart full of contradictions and pain. He once loved Xiaoyanzi so much, but now he found that she had become so strange. As for Xinrong, although there was no love between them, she was pregnant with his flesh and blood after all.

Even though Xiaoyanzi caused him to fall from being a noble emperor to being imprisoned today, he never regretted falling in love with her.

But now he complained.

No matter what, the child in Xinrong's belly is his, no matter what, it is an innocent life.

Besides, this child is very important to him, but Xiaoyanzi doesn't know it at all. She only knows how to be willful, only knows how to blame, and only knows how to cause trouble.

Xiaoyanzi's cold and ruthless face made him feel particularly unfamiliar.

The Xiaoyanzi he knew was the chivalrous and courageous Xiaoyanzi who would stand up for justice, not the Xiaoyanzi who hurts others indiscriminately today.

Xinrong is still in danger. The midwife and the imperial physician said that she is likely to have a premature birth or a difficult delivery.

He wanted to ask Xiaoyanzi right now, to ask her whether she had any heart.

Xinrong:......? ? ? So what? My life is almost gone, and you are still here asking her if she has a heart?

As a result, Yongqi came to Xiaoyanzi's yard. He thought Xiaoyanzi would at least feel guilty, anxious and regretful, but she didn't. She even had the leisure to eat melon seeds. Xiaoyanzi didn't even know the seriousness of the situation.

Yongqi took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You know what? Once this child is born, the emperor may set us free, and then I can run away with you."

"But you screwed it all up!"

He has been busy these days just for this matter.

For Xiaoyanzi, he could give up his status as a royal prince and live in seclusion in the mountains with her, as long as they were together.

From the beginning, Xinrong and he were just a deal, including the child.

When this child is born, he will inherit his title, and then he will be completely free.

Xiaoyanzi was dumbfounded, she didn't know the truth was like this.

Her resentment suddenly lost its source of venting, and she felt extremely depressed.

After all, Yongqi's betrayal is an objective fact, but Yongqi did pay for their future.

She didn't seem to have any reason to blame, but she shouldn't!

Xiaoyanzi's brain simply can't think of such complicated problems.

I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I looked at Yongqi, who was in great pain, and my brain suddenly went blank.

"But, but you..." Why don't you tell me.

Xiaoyanzi suddenly lost her temper. She had indeed acted on impulse and it was too late to say anything now.
