There's something wrong with the lonely princess

The crescent moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the sparse stars are at three or four o'clock. Li Shengjing is still kneeling outside Chaoyang Hall, his lips are getting paler. He glanced at Bai Li who was also kneeling beside him, and raised his hand. Bai Li thought he was about to get up , hurried over to help, but Li Shengjing waved his hand: "You don't need to be with me, Gu's legs don't feel, so I just kneel down, why bother? Gu is still counting on you, go back."

Bai Li: "Your Highness, Your Highness should also take good care of your body. The emperor has already returned to the palace. It is useless for us to kneel here. Your Highness might as well come back tomorrow."

Li Shengjing shook his head and glanced at the sky: "In two hours it will be morning time, Gu will wait here."

"Your Highness," Bai Li wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately Li Shengjing didn't listen anymore. He bit his lip, straightened his back and knelt beside Li Shengjing, "Bai Li was picked up by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince suffers, how could Bai Li go back by himself?" The truth? If the crown prince wants to kneel, Bai Li will kneel with him, I don't believe that the emperor's heart is made of stone!"

"Bai Li!" Li Shengjing reprimanded lightly: "Stop talking nonsense, you can't hold back your words in the Imperial Palace and Forbidden Garden, beware of losing your life!"

"Throw it away and throw it away." Bai Li murmured nonchalantly, and even cried himself: "I've never seen a father so cruel."

"You," Li Shengjing wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "From now on, you can't say this again, otherwise don't talk about you, you'll be lonely and afraid."

Li Shengjing didn't say what was said later, and Bai Li didn't understand after listening to it for a while, but he vaguely knew that it was not good to say it. The royal family is different from ordinary people's families. The father is not only the father but also the emperor. Can you not be cruel?

Bai Li didn't come out of the palace. He was a little beggar picked up by Li Shengjing on the side of the road. At that time, Li Shengjing had just moved out of the palace, and he picked up this little beggar at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. His clothes were ragged, but his eyes were piercing. Light, Li Shengjing gave him a name, and stayed by his side as a companion.

"Mother, you said that the crown prince entered the palace yesterday, why hasn't there been any news about it all day and night?"

Xie Yiyan has already changed back into women's clothing, with a hazy long skirt with a begonia flower on her hair, and no makeup on her face, ignoring his obviously bold and unrestrained sitting posture, she is indeed a great beauty who is all over the country, and she is said to be the number one beauty in Yejing City Not at all.

"Sit down." Mrs. Xie came over and patted him, and instructed: "I don't care if you wear men's clothes, since you wear women's clothes, you have a look, otherwise, if you really enter the prince's mansion, what will happen?"

Xie Yiyan tidied up her skirt, very dissatisfied: "Can't I be at my own home?"

Mrs. Xie: "I'm afraid you're used to being casual at home. What if something goes wrong in front of others?"

"It seems that I will definitely marry the prince from what you said. Didn't the prince enter the palace and retire?" Xie Yiyan was a little annoyed: "Maybe I will retire. When the marriage is terminated, I will go back to my hometown so as not to cause trouble again." trouble."

Mrs. Xie put down the bowl and sighed: "I'm afraid it's true. Let's talk about it when your father comes back from court. It would be great if you can really retire, but son, mother feels that this matter is probably mysterious. There is no news all day and night, which shows that the emperor has made up his mind." , the prince will get married sooner or later, this time, "

As she said that, her eyes turned red again, and Xie Yiyan hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't be too pessimistic, even if you really can't retreat, it's just a prince's mansion, so I can just go?"

"You speak lightly!" Mrs. Xie beat Xie Yiyan: "What do you know? Then you can enter the prince's mansion casually? If you are really a girl, you can go if you go. Although the prince has leg problems, he can listen to your father." The character is also very good, if you become a family, you will definitely not be treated badly, but you are a boy, how can you go!"

Mrs. Xie has shed tears these two days, her eyes were almost swollen from crying, Xie Yiyan couldn't bear to see her mother so sad, so she picked up light words to coax her: "Mother, you also said that the prince's character is not bad, If this marriage cannot be rejected, it is not because we are sincerely deceiving, His Royal Highness will definitely understand, don’t you think so?”

"If it's a big deal, I'll dress up as a woman to the end, and don't let him know my identity?" Xie Yiyan squeezed Mrs. Xie's shoulders: "If it doesn't work, mother will marry me as a daughter. After all, the prince will not treat me badly." .”

"How can it be the same!"

"Then why is it different?" Xie Yi Yan Shunzui said: "The prince has a leg problem, I heard people say that he is not good in that aspect, why is it different?"

"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Xie was annoyed all of a sudden, and continued to beat Xie Yiyan: "I won't let you run outside, and you must listen to it. What foul language you learn outside, that's what you can say ?! Your rules, your upbringing!"

"Mother, mother, mother, don't hit me." Xie Yiyan, who was dressed in women's clothing, held up her skirt and hid in a panic. Madam Xie looked at him like that, angry and funny, and felt very sad.

He stopped, touched Xie Yiyan's face, and sighed: "Yan'er, I have wronged you for more than ten years."

"Why are you wronged?" Xie Yiyan hugged Mrs. Xie: "Mother, what's wrong with this, isn't it just wearing a woman's dress and pretending to be a woman, son, it's for survival, look at me alive and kicking, I even won the swordsman list two days ago First, how worthwhile it is, don't you think?"

The couple were hugging each other and crying, when Xie Shoufu came back from the court, he also sighed when he entered the door.

"What's the matter? But, the crown prince didn't say anything?" Mrs. Xie was in a hurry: "Then think of another way!"

"What way?" Xie Shoufu took a sip from his teacup, "Do you know that the crown prince knelt outside Chaoyang Hall for a day and a night yesterday? He knelt like that this morning, and when he saw me, he told me not to worry. He will definitely ask the emperor to return this marriage, and will never delay our family's 'daughter'."

Xie Shoufu put down his teacup and sighed: "You haven't seen him, his face is as white as a piece of paper, and the eyes of the little servant next to him are swollen from crying, exactly the same as your mother's eyes, sorry to see you."

"Then you are soft-hearted?!" Mrs. Xie stomped her feet anxiously: "You can't see him soft-hearted and push us into the fire pit?"

"Listen to me." Xie Shoufu continued: "I wanted to say it at the time, otherwise forget it, the crown prince also begged for mercy, what can the emperor do if he doesn't agree? But guess what?"

Xie Yiyan didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so she sat down to comfort Mrs. Xie before asking: "What's wrong? Could it be that the emperor blamed dad?"

"The emperor didn't blame us. The emperor said that the prince was disobedient. He said that the order to grant the marriage had been made, but the prince acted willfully. This rebellion will be severely punished. He also said that the prince is disrespectful. Ten boards, and then let him come to our house to apologize."

Speaking of this, Xie Shoufu sighed heavily: "If you want to kneel, come kneel at the door of our house."

"How can this be done!" Mrs. Xie was even more anxious.

"It's not over yet." Xie Shoufu said again: "The emperor also said that it's okay to call off this marriage, but it's even more difficult for our family to propose marriage again if we call off the royal marriage, so if we want to call off the engagement, we have to go back again." Find a marriage and see who is willing to marry, if someone is willing, the emperor will give the marriage again, as the prince wants."

"and then?"

"There is no more. The time to kneel outside the Prince's hall was too long. I heard that there was still no water in it. I couldn't hold it anymore. I passed out. The emperor said that I will discuss it after the prince wakes up."

"This, isn't this two-sided pressure?" Mrs. Xie slumped on the chair: "After retiring the prince's marriage, you have to find another one. What's the difference?"

"Ma'am." Xie Shoufu stood up: "The emperor doesn't want to divorce at all. What he said this morning is all about the prince's willful disobedience. It is clear that it has nothing to do with our family. The fault is all with the prince, but in reality? What about every word? They are all putting pressure on us, what can the prince do wrong? It is our family who do not want to get married, the prince pleaded for us, and knelt outside the palace for a day and a night, you say this, you have to be unconscionable!"

"It's not that this marriage can't be withdrawn, have you heard what the emperor means? If we really want to withdraw this marriage, the crown prince and we will both lose." Xie Shoufu sighed again: "This marriage, in my opinion, will be settled. "

"How can I do that! Yan'er's identity, have you forgotten? If I really gave birth to a daughter, I wouldn't say anything, but you are a son, how do you marry? Can you bear the crime of bullying the king and destroying your family? "

"Mother, don't worry, it won't be that serious." Xie Yiyan supported Mrs. Xie, looked at the elder and thought for a while: "Mother is just worried that the identity of the child will be discovered, and it will be difficult to end it, but this matter is extremely private. It's hard for others to know. The child has been at home for many years, but other than the confidantes around him, don't they know? In my opinion, there is no need to worry about these things. If you can retire, maybe the boy will be able to return to the identity of a man and honor his parents."

"Yan'er, this is no joke." Mrs. Xie felt that Xie Yiyan's thinking was too simple.

Xie Yiyan smiled: "It's not a joke, in fact, our family has no way out in this matter, let's just settle this matter, I don't think the prince is a bad person, didn't my parents say it all?" , the crown prince has a leg problem, but his heart is still good, even if the identity of the child is discovered, I believe that the crown prince can kneel down and beg for divorce today, and he will definitely not abandon us in the future."

Madam Xie was still wiping tears, Xie Shoufu patted Madam on the shoulder and sighed heavily: "If I knew this, I should have returned to the field earlier that day."

On the eaves of Xie's mansion, Xie Yiyan was lying on the roof in women's attire looking at the moon, with a leaf in her mouth, and sat up after watching. I am a Jianghu person, my favorite is martial arts competition, drinking and being happy and unrestrained. I originally thought that I would officially become a Jianghu person one day, but who knew that after stepping half a foot, I would marry the prince when I came back?

He hasn't even seen what the prince looks like, no, he has to go and see, it doesn't mean that the prince has been begging for a day and a night, he just treats it as a visit.

In Donghua Garden of the Prince's Mansion, a small lamp was lit by the bedside. Bai Li waited on him for half the night. Now he saw that the Prince was in a deep sleep, so he went outside to doze off. He was just dazed when he saw that the room seemed to have entered. People, just about to open their eyes to see, when it gets dark again, they don't know anything.

Xie Yiyan didn't expect the little servant who was watching the night to be so clever, his footsteps were already light enough, but he was almost spotted, so he tapped the little servant's sleeping hole before going in boldly.

Under the candlelight, the person on the bed was frowning, and his thin lips were so transparent that they were almost colorless. Xie Yiyan was in poor health when she was a child, and it could be considered that the prince was in poor health. He soaked his body in a medicine jar, and now he is strong and strong enough to be able to compare with a sword. The prince obviously didn't soak it well, and drank so much medicine for nothing. This person is still very weak, and he can faintly smell him when he gets close. medicinal scent.

"Oh, but also a poor man."

Sighing, Xie Yiyan took out a small medicine bottle from her body, this is the tonic left by his master, it is the best way to nourish the body, just take it as a thank you to this little sick man for pleading for Xie's family today.

Sensing that the breathing rate of the person on the bed had changed, Xie Yiyan knew that he was going to wake up, so she wanted to find a place to hide first, but His Royal Highness woke up faster than he thought, Xie Yiyan had time to hide on the beam.

"Who?" Li Shengjing's voice was a little weak, and he coughed twice, looked up at the position of the beam, and said in a weak voice, "This is not a place you can come to. If you want to hunt for treasure, you can go to the next room to get some. , don’t hurt anyone or yourself.”

Xie Yiyan found it interesting as soon as she heard it, and squeezed her voice and said deliberately: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If you were an assassin, I would have died a long time ago." Li Shengjing propped himself up on the bed and got up a little: "Go, the patrolling guards will come over in a while, and you won't be able to leave."

"I don't pay attention to mere forbidden soldiers." Xie Yiyan snorted, pretending to be a gangster: "It is said that you are the only one in the imperial city who has treasures. Rumors have fooled me, I can’t believe it, that’s all, let’s go, I’ll come back when I have a baby!”

A veil rushed towards Li Shengjing's face and blocked Li Shengjing's sight, and then he heard the man say again: "The medicine bottle on the table is a tonic, keep it for use."

The veil fell, and Li Shengjing saw that there was indeed a small medicine bottle under the lamp. He took it over and felt the medicine bottle was still warm, so it should be worn close to his body.

"What a weird quack."
