Prince Liang wanted to pull his hand back, but Yi'er held his wrist tightly and refused to let go, looking excited.
King Liang had no choice but to say, "Okay, Yi'er, you go back first. I still have things to do. I'll come and play with you after I finish my work."
Yi'er let him go and nodded eagerly, "Okay, go in quickly, the princess is waiting to be rescued."
King Liang looked at her deeply and whispered, "Goodbye!"
After saying this, he went in with his retainers.
Yi'er watched him go in happily and wanted to leave, but then she thought that she hadn't seen him for so long, so she might as well wait for him to come out and talk before leaving. So she sat on the stone steps and waited for King Liang to come out.
This whole scene fell into the eyes of the prince.
He arrived a little later than Prince Liang. He was asked by the Queen to come. Since he had nowhere else to go, he came here to take a look around and then report back.
He had never seen the useless man look at a woman with such eyes, and he deeply believed that this woman meant a lot to him.
"Do you know who she is?" he asked the servant beside him.
The attendant took a look and said, "This seems to be a woman that His Highness Prince Liang knew among the common people. I heard that she later came to the palace and told the Queen that she wanted to marry a common woman. She was scolded by the Queen. This must be her. I just heard His Highness Prince Liang call her Yi'er. This woman should not know His Highness Prince Liang's identity."
"Oh? She is that Yi'er?" the prince said meaningfully.
He got off the carriage and walked over, calling out to Yi'er, "Yi'er?"
Yi Er raised her head, looked at the prince, and asked in confusion, "Are you calling me?"
"Of course I'm calling you. Don't you know me?" the prince said with a smile.
Yi Er recognized it and shook her head honestly, "I don't know you."
The prince smiled and said, "You don't know me, but I know you. My eldest brother always tells me about you."
"Who is your eldest brother?"
The prince said, "It's the one who just went in. Didn't he ever tell you about my brother?"
The prince asked this, looking a little sad.
Yier stood up and said gently, "No, he did. He always talked about you."
Actually, no, but Yi'er saw that he seemed very sad, so she comforted him.
The prince laughed, "Really? That's great, how about this, we find a place to sit down and eat something to wait for him?"
Yi'er hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll just wait here for him to come out."
The prince said unhappily, "You don't want to show me your favor? Forget it. No one likes to play with me anyway."
Seeing his sad face, Yi Er felt embarrassed and waved her hands, "No, it's just that I don't know you. I can't go out alone with you. Mother will scold me."
The prince pointed at the attendant on the carriage and said, "Look, there are people on the carriage. How can we be considered to be going out alone? Besides, you don't know me, but I know you, and you also know my brother, so we know each other, right? Besides, we are not going anywhere, we just want to find a place to sit down and talk while waiting for my elder brother to come."
Yi'er thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's find a place to wait for him. It's not a good idea to wait at the door, as there are always people coming and going."
Just like that, Yi'er got on his carriage.
Xiao Tuo just happened to arrive on horseback. He vaguely saw a woman getting on the prince's carriage. He was slightly startled. The back figure looked a bit like Yi'er.
He had seen Yi'er before. He happened to be there when Prince Liang met Yi'er.
But he immediately shook his head. Why would Yi'er come here? Even if she came, she couldn't get on the prince's carriage.
He tied up his horse and went in.
When he saw King Liang, he smiled and said, "I thought I saw Yi'er just now."
King Liang didn't say anything and seemed a little disappointed.
When Zi'an went to Chen's house and saw Liu Liu, she was shocked.
The injury was not serious, but she had lost a lot of weight. Her round face had become a melon-seed face, her chin was as sharp as a knife, and her already big eyes had become even more frighteningly large.
When Liu Liu saw her, she hugged her and cried, "Zi'an, I know about the princess and Brother Xiao Xiao. How could this happen? I feel so sad."
Liu Liu's crying was very contagious. She cried wildly and thoroughly without any concealment. Her crying made Zi'an's tears fall all of a sudden.
Chen Taijun was smoking a water pipe nearby, the bamboo tube filled with water making gurgling sounds from time to time, and she looked depressed and irritable.
She exhaled a puff of cigarette and said coldly, "Who do you still pity? If you don't get married, you will be the one to die. This time it's your leg, next time it's your head that will be broken."
After hearing her words, Liu Liu hugged Zi'an and cried even harder.
Zi'an turned around and signaled to the old lady to stop talking, then he comforted Liu Liu and disinfected and healed her wounds.
The injury was not serious, no bones were broken, but there was a large wound and some bleeding. After being bandaged and resting for a few days, he will be fine.
After treating the wound, Zi'an gave Liu Liu a tranquilizer and let her sleep.
When the old lady saw her fall asleep, she sighed deeply and looked at Zi'an seriously, "Princess, you didn't fulfill your original promise."
Zi'an knew he was in the wrong, "I'm sorry, this really can't be forced, matters of the heart cannot be interfered with by external forces."
"I like Xiao Tuo very much, but we are not destined to be together. I will not force it. Please help me persuade this girl to agree to my request and get married as soon as possible."
Zi'an said: "But Liu Liu is also very stubborn. She told me before that she has Xiao Tuo in her heart and doesn't want to marry anyone else."
"What is more important than your own life?" The old lady frowned, "I don't have this feeling now, but I can cultivate it in the future, as long as I am still alive."
Zi'an took a deep breath and advised, "Old Lady, actually, I don't think it's necessary to believe those words. It's ridiculous that you will die if you don't get married."
The old lady looked at her sharply, "Do you have the right to say that? Nonsense? Isn't your story ridiculous? Why is your story reasonable while others' is ridiculous? What you said is ridiculous in the first place!"
Zi'an's heart trembled and he looked up at the old lady. What did she know
The old lady stood up and waved her hands, "Alright, I have never begged anyone before, but now I am begging you to persuade this girl. She must get married. I am old and cannot bear the stimulation of seeing someone die young. You might as well just kill me. I am tired of living anyway."
Zi'an was in a dilemma. If Xiao Tuo was really interested, he could still force him, but who knew what he was thinking
Zi'an thinks she can see through many people's minds, but Xiao Tuo is a fool with a simple mind, so she can't figure him out.
She sighed, "We can't ask Marquis Jingguo to force him, right? Marriage is such an important matter that you really can't force it."
After hearing this, the old lady looked up at her, as if she suddenly had an idea.
Zi'an looked at her, both amused and sad, "You don't really want Jingguo Hou to force him, do you? A forced melon is not sweet, and if it succeeds, it will harm them for the rest of their lives."
The old lady said simply and rudely: "Who cares whether the melon is sweet or not? As long as there is a melon, it's fine."
