Chapter 12

"Does Your Highness have something on your mind?" On the way to send the third prince back to his residence, Liu'er kept her head down and remained silent, making it easy for people to guess that there was something hidden in his heart.

"Well, it's okay." Liu'er smiled apologetically at the third prince, "I made the third prince worry."

"Your Highness, you don't need to see others like this. Although it's the first day we met, I think we can be friends. Your Highness can call me Xuan Ying directly, not always the third prince and third prince." Xuan Ying has a straightforward personality. Seeing Liu'er, he was full of affection for him, such a slender and quiet person, sitting on a high platform, made people feel the desire to protect him.

"Okay, the third prince, ah, brother Xuanying can call me Yingliu." Although I know the name my father gave me, it's the first time I'm not used to saying it to others.

"Okay, I drank some wine today, and it's getting late, let's talk in detail tomorrow, okay? I brought a lot of specialties from Lushu, how about it?" Xuan Ying looked expectant, and Liu Er nodded happily .

Getting along with Xuan Ying reminded Liu Er of Xiao Ye, it seemed that both of them had straightforward and free-spirited personalities, getting along with them felt very relaxed.

On the second day, Liu Er arrived as scheduled.Because during the day, Father Huang and Xuan Ying talked about something, so when the two met, it was already evening.

Xuan Ying thought the room was too narrow, so she asked the servants to put the wine and vegetables in the gazebo in the garden.Screening away the attendants around, only two of them were left to drink and talk happily.

"How about the fine wine in our Lushu Kingdom? It's different from your Xun Kingdom. It's not brewed with grain, but with various fruits. It tastes sweet, and even children like to drink it." Xuanying filled up the wine for Liu'er.

"Well, it's really delicious." Liu'er first tasted it, and then drank it down, "Brother Xuan Ying, tell me about Lu Shu."

Liu'er has never had the opportunity to travel far, and the farthest place is probably the "fairyland" where Xiao Ye lives.Liu'er was naturally curious about another country.

"Lushu, the customs and customs of Xun Kingdom are very different. There are more mountains in Lushu. In the past, Lushu people lived by hunting. Now a lot of farmland has been opened up, and life has become more and more stable." Xuan Ying told Liu Er while drinking wine, "We must go to our Lushu in the future, and I will introduce you to you when the time comes."

"Is it okay?" Liu'er pursed her lips, and said with some embarrassment, "If I'm not the prince, if you say, if you say that I'm just the most ordinary commoner, will you take me there?"

"Of course, no matter what your status is, you are my friend of Xuanying. You are welcome to go to Lushu at any time." Xuanying has a deep understanding of the infighting in the court, and as the heir to the throne, she also knows a lot about the national conditions of Xun Kingdom deep.This prince was found from the people, and he has no one to rely on. Maybe he will be killed at any time, so it is no wonder that he would say such a thing.

"Thank you." This thank you, Liu Er said sincerely, even though Xuan Ying's promise was just perfunctory to him, it still made him feel grateful.

"I'm bothering His Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince." A voice suddenly came, which made Liu'er tremble with familiarity.Looking up, the person who came was Xiao Yun, and behind him, there was a small figure, who turned out to be Li Ren whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Li Ren!" Liu Er flew over and hugged Li Ren tightly in her arms.

"His Royal Highness." Li Ren's eyes were red, but because of Xiao Yun's presence, he could only carefully push Liu'er away.

"What did you call me, and you call me that too?" Liu'er looked at Li Ren disappointedly, but saw Li Ren pointing at Xiao Yun quietly, Liu'er felt more at ease, probably because Li Ren was afraid that Xiao Yun would blame him Bar.

"Wei Chen just came to return Li Ren to His Highness the Crown Prince, so I will take my leave." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yun turned and left.

"My lord..." Liu'er looked at Xiao Yun's back reluctantly, not knowing when he would be able to meet him calmly, but it must be after the death of his father, how could he expect this day to come sooner Well, I don't know how long this dilemma will last.

"Your Highness, the third prince is waiting for you." Li Ren reminded softly at the side, Liu Er withdrew her gaze, but gave Li Ren a glare.Li Ren immediately understood, showed a big smile, and took Liu'er's arm, "Good Liu'er, the third prince is waiting."

With Li Ren by her side, Liu'er felt much better, and pulled Li Ren to sit down, "Brother Xuan Ying, this is Li Ren, my best friend, also like a younger brother."

Liren tugged at Liu'er's sleeve uneasy, in front of Liu'er, he could still be Liren from the past, but in front of the third prince of Lushu Kingdom, how could he be equal.

But Liu'er sat him tightly on the stone bench and filled him with a glass of wine, "I haven't seen you for so long, do you know how worried I am about you? Did anyone make things difficult for you? It's all my fault for being so willful. "

"Liu'er, I'm doing well. Why would King Yi embarrass such an inconspicuous person like me? Is this wine for me?" Changed the subject, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a sip, "Wow, it's really delicious, what kind of wine is this?"

"It's the most famous fine wine in the Lushu Kingdom." Xuanying explained to him, and Liren smiled awkwardly. In order to comfort Liu'er, he could only temporarily put aside the difference in status, but there were people like the third prince present , making it really difficult for him.

"It's delicious. Brother Xuanying specially brought it here. These are also special products of the Lushu Kingdom. Try it." Liu'er didn't see Liren's embarrassment, but was only happy for the reunion.

Li Ren didn't want to disappoint Liu Er, so he had to smile apologetically at Xuan Ying, and then chatted intimately with Liu Er.

With Li Ren around, Liu'er drank a lot of wine unknowingly, the wine didn't feel anything at first, but the aftertaste was great, Liu'er felt a little dizzy, but she still didn't want to let go of the cup in her hand.

"Liren, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, Liren, you know, I've been feeling so uncomfortable recently, so uncomfortable, I'm about to die, but I can't die, the prince will There is danger..." Liu'er gradually spoke more and more, her eyes were confused, she leaned on Li Ren's shoulder, and muttered to herself.

"Liu'er, you're drunk, let's go back to the house, shall we?" Li Ren saw that Liu'er was drunk and didn't want him to lose face in front of the third prince, but Liu'er pulled him relentlessly, "Don't No, Liren, listen to me, I have a lot of things in my heart, but no one can listen to me, no one can understand." Thinking of the grievance and pain in her heart, Liu'er couldn't help crying , "Li Ren, I don't want to be a prince, I don't even want to be an emperor, Li Ren, you know, I just want to stay with the prince, you know, you know..."

In this world, there is probably only one person who can understand herself, Liu'er can't wait to tell him all her grievances, but ignores the third prince next to her.

Xuanying looked at Liu'er meaningfully, it turned out that this handsome man has such a beautiful name, Liu'er.A prince, one person under one person and above ten thousand people, enjoys the unique love of the emperor, but weeping here like this, I don't know how much pain he puts in his heart.He felt unbearable to bear so much pain in such a weak body, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Liren didn't want Xuanying to see Liu'er losing his composure, so while supporting Liu'er, he said to Xuanying, "Third prince, I'm a little rude today. My master has always treated me like a relative, so I'm so happy when we meet today. I drank a few more glasses. Thank you Third Prince for your hospitality, I want to take Master down to rest."

"It doesn't matter. It's my honor that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't treat me as an outsider, so he got drunk with peace of mind." Xuan Ying smiled lightly, her eyes and eyebrows looked very kind.

This reassured Li Ren, he pleaded guilty, and took Liu'er back to his room to rest.Serving Liu'er to sleep, Li Ren sat on the edge of the bed and watched over, looking at Liu'er's thin face, blankly wondering what he was thinking.

"My lord..." Liu'er murmured in a low voice, Liren listened, showing a distressed expression, "Liu'er, you are such a good person, why do you have to suffer so much?"

Although it is very distressing, what can he do, he can only do his best to take care of Liu'er's life and try to make him happy.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw Li Ren lying on the bedside and fell asleep, "Li Ren, why did you fall asleep like this, come on, lie down." Liu'er woke Li Ren softly and asked him to lie down next to her.

"Liu'er, do you have a headache?" Li Ren lay beside Liu'er, worried that he would get a hangover.

"It's okay, it seems that Lu Shu's wine is indeed different, but am I drunk?" Liu'er found that she couldn't remember what happened later, and didn't know how she got back to the room.

"That's right, he was so drunk that he kept pulling me and telling me how much he missed me!" Li Ren snuggled into Liu'er's arms and said with a smile.

Liu'er stroked Liren's hair in love, "Really, I really miss you, with you by my side, I feel much more at ease."

The two of them took a nap on the bed for a while and got up to wash up.As soon as the refreshments were served, the little eunuch guarding outside announced that the third prince of the Lushu Kingdom had asked to see him.

"I'm so sorry yesterday, I made Brother Xuanying laugh because I was drunk." Liu'er told Xuanying to sit down and have breakfast together.

Xuan Ying looked at the prince with a faint smile in front of her, but she was still thinking about Liu'er who was crying so hard last night.Sometimes, a smile is just an expression, not a mood.

"Can I call you Liu'er?" Xuan Ying asked in a pleading tone, and Liu'er naturally agreed, he was already used to the name, but he failed to live up to the name chosen by his father.

"Liu'er, I'm going back to Lushu Kingdom tomorrow. I came here today just to tell you again that you will always be my Xuanying's friend. No matter when or what happens, you must remember me Friends can help you, you must remember."

Although we only got along for a short time, Liu Er's shadow was firmly engraved in his heart. He only hated that he was not from Xun Kingdom, so he couldn't stay by his side to protect him. I have to bear it all by myself.

"Well, I will remember." Liu'er nodded solemnly in agreement, moved by Xuanying's sincerity, maybe, in the future, she can really go to Lushu Kingdom to spend the rest of her life.

Seeing that Liu Er listened to her heart, Xuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know why he cared so much about someone he had only known for a few days, but he was very grateful to God for giving him such an opportunity to know Liu Er like this. If possible, he is willing to use all his strength to protect him and prevent him from any harm.

After sending off Xuan Ying the next day, the palace returned to calm, but with Li Ren by her side, Liu'er felt much better, at least she was no longer alone in the cold room.

Xuan Ying, who was sitting in the carriage, was still reluctant to part with Liu Er. This time we parted, and I don't know how long it will be before we see each other again.Feeling sad in his heart, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the servant reported outside, "Your Highness, King Xun Guoyi is asking to see you."

"Wing Wang?" Xuan Ying frowned, the prince that Liu'er was talking about that day was probably this person, and it seemed that they must meet for a while.

Xuanying got off the carriage, Xiao Yun was alone, riding a white horse, and nodded to Xuanying with a confident smile, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to toast with His Royal Highness the Third Prince these days, so I just rashly Come to bother me, the restaurant in front has already been taken over by me, and I hope the third prince will do me a favor."

"Of course, King Yi's name is as loud as thunder, and it's my wish to be able to tell you about it today!" Xuan Ying also smiled back, her eyes met, everything was clear to her chest.

"Does the third prince know the life experience of the current prince?" After sitting down at the restaurant, after a few casual greetings, Xiao Yun went straight to the point.

Xuan Ying knew the purpose of Xiao Yun's trip early on, and drank the wine in a leisurely manner, "The prince is the prince, and I am not interested in any life experience."

"Really, the third prince is really magnanimous." Xiao Yun praised, but then changed the topic, "Then if the prince comes from a brothel, doesn't His Highness care?"

"The brothel?" Xuan Ying was a little surprised. Although she knew that the prince had been lost among the people, she had never heard of the brothel.

Xiao Yun looked at Xuanying's reaction with satisfaction, "Does Your Highness still plan to support such a prince?"

At this time Xuan Ying had recovered from the astonishment, and shook her head indifferently, "I just sigh that the prince has suffered so much, but, as I said just now, the prince is the prince."

"Your Highness is a magnanimous person, so naturally he doesn't care about it, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty may not agree." Although it was somewhat unexpected, Xiao Yun also knew that Xuan Ying was not easily persuaded to move.

Xuan Ying thought for a while, then smiled, "If they know about the matter between King Yi and the prince, who would they be more inclined to?"

This time it was Xiao Yun who was stunned, it had only been a few days, how could Xuan Ying know about this matter, it was because she wanted to buy Liu Er's heart that this happened, but now it has become the most difficult problem.

Without waiting for Xiao Yun to speak, Xuan Ying continued, "Liu Er is such a good person, even King Yi doesn't know how to cherish him. I really feel sad for him. I don't agree with King Yi, so I will leave first. Let me say one more thing, I have let Liu Er down." , it will be you who will regret it in the end."

After all, Xuan Ying got up and left, leaving Xiao Yun in astonishment. Although he didn't know what happened between Liu Er and King Yi, but thinking of Liu Er's tears that night, his love for King Yi was clear at a glance.

If such a good person was by his side, he would definitely take care of him in every possible way, how could Liu Er be so sad like King Yi.Forget it, it doesn't matter if you ignore such a person, if he makes Liu'er suffer, I will definitely not make him feel better.
