The little prince held Lord Yan's hand tightly all the way, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the gate of the palace.
When the little prince saw the three characters "Rui Wangfu" written by himself, he felt a burst of disappointment in his heart. He felt that Lord Yan must have taken him to a shortcut, otherwise, how could the distance of a street travel so fast.
Lord Yan didn't understand the little prince's thoughts, so he let go of his hand and said, "It's not early, go back and rest early."
The little prince refused to obey, and grabbed Lord Yan's sleeve with the gall of wine.
Fortunately, Lord Yan was able to turn the corner this time, and he soon realized that he lowered his head and pecked the little prince on the lips again.
The little prince pursed his lips, although he was still a little unfinished, but thinking about the future, he let Lord Yan go back.
After Lord Yan left, the little prince kept his fingers on his lips and kept stroking back to the room with joy.
However, the moment he stepped into the door, the little prince's smile completely solidified on his face.
On the bookshelf in the room, a secret cell was wide open, and the edict inside had disappeared.

The little prince's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. When he rushed out of the room, his legs were weak and he almost tripped over the threshold.
He called out Pearl's name in a panic, and when Pearl heard it, she hurried over.
"Tonight... Who has been here tonight?" The little prince couldn't stand still, grabbing the pearl tightly to stabilize his figure.
Pearl has followed the little prince for many years, and has never seen him so complacent. He answered tremblingly, "After you and Lord Yan left, the servants went back to the lower room and never approached the room."
The little prince stopped talking. He left the palace today, and the guards at the door were taken away by Lord Yan. Anyone can easily...
Suddenly, in this cold and freezing night, layers of cold sweat ooze out from the back of the little prince, his face was as pale as paper, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "No, he must not be. on purpose."
Pearl carefully supported the little prince, and was about to cry in fear: "What's wrong with you, prince, who are you talking about?"
The little prince broke away from Pearl's hand, his eyes were empty, he was just a playful and lovely person, and he seemed to have lost his soul in a blink of an eye.
He staggered to the room step by step, before taking a few steps, he passed out in the white snow.

The little prince was in a coma for a day and a night, and did not wake up until the evening of the second day.
Pearl knelt beside the bed and sobbed softly. Seeing that the little prince opened his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you feeling better, prince?"
The little prince stared blankly at the curtain on the top of the bed. The scenes from last night flooded into his mind one after another, causing him to have a splitting headache.
The little prince asked in a hoarse voice, "Has Lord Yan ever been here?"
Pearl said, "Never."
The little prince closed his eyes again, and two lines of tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes and into the hair between his temples.
After that, the little prince lay on the bed for two more days, rarely eating during that time. When he woke up, he stared at the bed curtain in a daze, and said nothing.
Pearl thought that the little prince had some kind of strange disease, so he specially went to the palace and invited the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. The imperial doctor shook his head and said that it was a heart disease.

Two days later, in the early morning, a little eunuch suddenly came from the palace, saying that the New Year was approaching, the emperor was going to hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and King Rui was invited to attend.
Pearl looked at the lost prince in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the prince suddenly seemed to have recovered his spirit. He stood up from the bed and said to the little eunuch, "Eunuch Lao has conveyed it. Please rest assured, the emperor, this king will definitely attend on time."
That night, the little prince entered the palace alone, wearing his favorite red jacket, and sitting on the low table closest to the emperor's dragon chair.
All the ministers were already seated at the table, and the emperor was long overdue. The little prince looked in the direction where the emperor was coming, and saw Lord Yan, who had not appeared for many days, followed closely behind him, talking to the emperor as he walked.
The little prince clenched his palms tightly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan seemed to have a feeling and looked in the direction of the little prince.
At the moment when the four eyes met, a trace of panic flashed unexpectedly in the eyes of Lord Yan, who had always been calm and calm.
