"Your Majesty..."

Ah Cai glared at Ah Yu, then softly consoled him:

"The princess will definitely handle this matter. She is so smart, nothing will happen to her. Your Highness, don't worry."

Leng Yu had a cold face and said nothing, but his heart was already in a knot.

How could he not be worried? He had known someone would give her a hard time, but he hadn't expected it to get to the point where the emperor would have to conduct an inquest. This couldn't be as simple as someone taking her medicine and dying.

After a moment of silence, Ayu whispered again:

"Your Majesty, go to bed and rest!"

He waved his hand and said, "Everyone go out and leave me alone for a while."

"Your Highness, how can this be? The princess asked us to take good care of you before she left."

"Oh!"

He suddenly sneered sadly, "Everyone go out, I'll be alone for a while."

He reiterated that Ayu wanted to persuade him, but Acai pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned him to go out.

They knew something about the prince's temper from the princess. He didn't want to sleep, and even if Ayu kept persuading him, he wouldn't go to sleep.

The room was quiet, but Leng Yu could no longer control his sobs. His tears wet his face, and he was unwilling to raise his hand to wipe them away.

How could he sleep if she didn't come back?

She didn't know how helpless she was right now, so how could he sleep peacefully?

Lan'er has been here for so long that they have become an inseparable part of each other. He is afraid that something will happen to her and that someone will harm her.

But the more he fears something, the more likely it is to happen. What should he do?

What else can he do with this broken body?

He still needs her to take care of him, and his huge Prince Yu Mansion also needs her to support it, but he can't help her. He can only wait for her here and pray in his heart for her safe return.

He longed for the day when he could stand up, he longed for the day when he could protect her...
