Chapter 173 He is so obedient that she feels soft-hearted

However, there was no sign of the carriage on the road we came from, and there was only pitch-black night over there.

He didn't know that his queen mother had the lights hanging on the four corners of the carriage extinguished and was watching him in the darkness.

He thought his mother had left and he was the only one left here.

His tears fell even more violently.

The Queen Mother doesn't want him anymore.

If he didn't rush in to see his sister now, he would have to stay here alone, no one knew him, no one cared about him...

He cried and told himself silently—

Ayou, you have to be brave, you must see your sister.

It’s not difficult, just say a few words. After you finish saying it, you will be able to see your sister. You can definitely do it.

He tried hard to overcome the trembling of his body, and he looked at the doorman while wiping his tears.

His thin lips parted a crack.

He uttered a few barely audible words with difficulty.

"I...King Rui."

The doorman was an elderly man. He only saw the young boy opening his mouth to speak, but he couldn't hear clearly what he said.

He loosened the boy's shirt and asked, "What did you say?"

The autistic boy didn't dare to look the doorman in the eye, he lowered his head and dodged.

Just saying those few words had exhausted all his strength. He tried desperately to organize his words, but was unable to utter them again.

The concierge lost his patience and said, "Young Master, if you have nothing to do, please leave. Our master has already gone to bed. If you have nothing urgent to do, please come back tomorrow, okay?"

As he spoke, he pushed King Rui, trying to push this reckless and incoherent guy out.

Prince Rui hugged the door tightly and cried and refused to leave.

He came here with great difficulty, he doesn't want to leave.

His mother had disappeared, and he could not return home after he left.

As he struggled, the wound on his wrist split open and blood gushed out, flowing down his elbow.

The doorman tried to pull his arm, but suddenly felt something sticky on his hand. The doorman was stunned.

He raised his hand to his eyes and looked at it. The bright red blood scared him so much that he cried out!

"Oh my God, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were injured? Did I make your wound bleed? Where are you injured?"

He wanted to check on King Rui's wound, but King Rui was so frightened that he curled up into a ball, hugging the door tightly like a quail, with his head tucked into his arms.

The doorman felt a little headache and helpless.

"Young Master, what on earth do you want to do? You refuse to leave no matter what you say, so who are you looking for? What big deal do you have that you have to come here to argue with me in the middle of the night, huh?"

Prince Rui was like a frightened bird at this moment. His head was buzzing and he couldn't hear clearly what the doorman said.

He only vaguely heard the words "who to look for".

He trembled and forced himself to speak.

"Looking for...my sister."

The concierge heard it clearly this time.

But these two words didn't make any sense at all. He asked in confusion, "Which sister are you looking for? Which one is your sister?"

King Rui pressed his head against the cold door. He banged it hard twice. The pain in his head helped him overcome his fear and stay calm.

He lowered his head and uttered the name that he had repeated countless times in his mind.

"Chen...Yuan...Wei."

The concierge was stunned.

Who are you looking for?

Looking for their wife?

Wait, the lady had asked him to open the door to welcome the noble Prince Rui from the palace, and this young man came to see the lady again. Could this young man be...

The doorman panicked. He asked tremblingly, "Are you His Royal Highness Prince Rui?"

Prince Rui turned around, looked at the doorman with his tear-red eyes, and nodded randomly.

The doorman was so frightened that his legs went limp.

My God, who would have thought that such a dignified prince would run to the door in such an embarrassed state? Where are the ceremonial guards, the imperial carriage, and the servants accompanying him?

If he had seen the imperial carriage, how could he have regarded this young man as an ordinary citizen?

He kowtowed quickly.

"I was blind and didn't know His Royal Highness Prince Rui was here. I kowtow to you and apologize!"

King Rui pursed his lips, secretly glanced at the doorman who was kneeling on the ground, and while the doorman was not paying attention, he immediately slipped into the door like a loach and stumbled inside.

He looked around while crying.

Where is my sister?

He is going to find his sister.

The doorman hurried after him, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please follow me. The general and his wife live over here. Please come in, please come in quickly."

He walked and muttered, "Our wife has been waiting for you with the door open. When she saw that you were late, she thought you were not coming today, so she asked us to close the door and go and rest..."

King Rui was stunned.

He looked up at the doorman's back, and a light suddenly lit up in his dark eyes.

Did your sister close the door because she thought he wasn't coming?

My sister didn’t abandon him, did she?

He suddenly felt relaxed all over. He pursed his lips, but could not hide his joy. He followed the doorman obediently. He couldn't wait to appear in front of his sister and tell her that he was here.

After walking for a while, the doorman brought Prince Rui to the outside of Xiao Lingzhao's yard.

When the nanny guarding the gate learned that the young man in front of her was His Royal Highness Prince Rui, she quickly ran to the door of the room to tell Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei.

Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao have already gone to bed.

Hearing that Prince Rui had arrived, Shen Yuanwei suddenly opened her eyes.

She raised herself up on her elbows and looked at the door in surprise.

"He actually came? I thought he wasn't coming."

Xiao Lingzhao was also a little surprised.

He got up, put on his clothes and opened the door.

He looked up and saw the young man in white standing at the gate of the yard.

He looked around twice and found that only the young man was there. There was no sign of the empress dowager and the servants. He became more and more surprised.

After looking the embarrassed young man up and down, Xiao Lingzhao turned around and shouted into the room, "Yuan Wei, His Highness is alone, not the Queen Mother."

Shen Yuanwei was also shocked.

An autistic teenager who was unwilling to step out of the yard even when being led by the Queen Mother, how did he come here alone now?

Shen Yuanwei was anxious and distressed. She couldn't get up from the bed, so she shouted, "Ayou, sister is here."

The young man stood quietly at the gate of the yard with his head down. This unfamiliar environment made him very scared. He shrank his body like a hedgehog whose fur would explode at any time.

Suddenly he heard a familiar voice and raised his head abruptly.

He looked at the door with his bright dark eyes and ran into the yard.

After going up the stairs, he glanced at Xiao Lingzhao, then lowered his head and pretended not to see the person blocking his way. He leaned sideways and carefully slipped past Xiao Lingzhao, then rushed into the room.

Seeing that the young boy didn't dare to touch his clothes and was crawling close to the door like a timid little gecko, Xiao Lingzhao couldn't help but laughed softly.

Why is it so cute?

Prince Rui ignored him, walked into the room, looked around and found the direction of the bed.

He immediately took small steps and ran happily to the bedside. Looking at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a day, he felt relieved instantly.

He squatted down obediently beside the bed, leaned his head over and gently touched his sister's arm, smiling silently at her, a shy and sweet smile.

Shen Yuanwei looked at the cute boy running towards her silently, and her heart softened.

She looked at the boy tenderly, and asked with joy and distress, "Ayou, how did you get here? Did the Queen Mother send you here? Where is she?"
