In Lian Er's memory, there is such a special existence.
That porcelain doll-like person, like the most precious pearl, is held in the palm of the prince's palm, and it hurts on the apex of his heart, and no one is allowed to hurt her in the slightest.
She still remembered that ten years ago, Emperor Jingde's health was worsening day by day. Every day at dawn, a large number of imperial doctors flooded into the palace, and even the prince stayed in the palace all day long. After returning to the mansion at night, the prince always frowned tightly, and she would sometimes hear him muttering to himself outside the window, and every time he repeated, there was only one sentence - the world will be in chaos.
When that little girl from the Ning Mansion came over, the lord's frown would relax, and a half-smile would appear in his eyes.
The prince didn't want that little girl to know about those things. The prince loved that little girl. The status of that little girl in the prince's heart was even higher than his own life.
She was always looking forward to that little girl's arrival, and only that little girl's laughter could dispel the haze in the yard.
At that time, the old prince was still alive, and the old grandfather with white beard and hair, no matter who he was facing, always had a benevolent look, without any majesty of being a relative of the emperor. People are not afraid of him, but that little girl in the Ning Mansion always hides from the old lord whenever she comes to the wangfu to look for the lord.
For a long time, she didn't understand why the little girl in Ningfu was so afraid of such a kind-hearted old man.
Until she heard the sound of a father and son quarreling in the Wangfu study.
On that day, Lian'er was just passing by. She should have left in a hurry like countless days before, but on that day, she heard the gentle and refined prince provoking his anger with a blunt tone, so, Suddenly, she stopped.
It was only after that time that she realized that the old prince was far from being as kind as he had shown, and that the prince's love for that little girl even exceeded everyone's imagination, so much so that in order to protect the people in Ning's mansion, he That little girl did not hesitate to disobey the emperor's orders.
That night, the lord dressed in casual clothes, picked up the sweet little girl who was lying on the bed in the bedroom of the palace, and secretly left the mansion.
Standing under the thick night, the young prince whose face has not faded, said to the sleeping person in his arms: "Even if this king loses this life, he will definitely protect you."
Hiding inside the door, she burst into tears. The prince's actions are intended to run counter to the imperial power. From then on, there will be no more glory and wealth, no more supreme power. After the moment the decision is made, he will have nothing.
However, the little pink and jade-carved doll lying in the prince's arms didn't know anything, as if even the dreams were clean and carefree.
That was the last time Lian'er saw her prince smile. Under the dark sky, the boy kissed the girl's cheek, and then smiled softly.
Such a relieved smile has never been seen again since then.
Later on, the Ning Mansion, which was so prosperous for a while, was destroyed by a fire, and all the glory and achievements were annihilated in that fire. That child can no longer be found, Wu Zuo said, in such a fire, the little baby might have been burned to ashes, and even the bones could not be found.
After that, she never saw the prince's smile again. In the palace, there was another person who lost his soul like a walking dead.
