He was filled with regret once again. If he had known the miraculous use of that plaster earlier, he should have kept it on his body at all times. Now it was too late for regrets.

Tianyun got off the carriage and walked towards the viewing platform on the side of the racecourse.
The weather is nice today. The fog is slowly dissipating, and the soft, warm sun shines down from above, enveloping the indistinct red walls and gray tiles.
Unfortunately, before we could fully appreciate the beautiful scenery, some annoying person jumped out and spoiled the mood.
She was intercepted by Yu Shanlai halfway there.
She still had that friendly expression, as if she and Tianyun were particularly compatible: "That day, I helped my sister achieve her wish and have lunch with the Second Prince. Were you happy, sister?" Her words were reasonable and magnanimous, but they carried a strong hint of sourness.
What does it mean to help me achieve my wish?
What kind of talk is this? You tricked me into believing you'd be grateful to me?
Tianyun's tone became much more distant, and she no longer bothered with the pretense between her sisters. She said bluntly, "Why is Miss Yu acting like this? I only went to the appointment because I thought the person who invited me was you. If I had known that the person waiting there was the Second Prince, I would never have gone."
I wasted several hours of my time and even ate a lunch that I had to be wary of and that was hard to digest!
These were sincere words. But Yu Shanlai interpreted them as her being hypocritical, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, and said softly, "Sister meant well, thinking this would make you and His Highness happy. I never expected my good intentions to backfire, causing you to misunderstand my motives." While His Highness still has some interest in you, enjoy it while you can!
Tianyun plucked a wildflower from the roadside, brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, finding it somewhat amusing: "Miss Yu, you've really misunderstood. I have no feelings for the Second Prince, that's an indisputable fact. Please, Miss Yu, don't do such things again in the future, otherwise don't blame Tianyun for being impolite and daring not to attend your treacherous banquet again."
This flower can be used in medicine to neutralize the bitterness of the medicine. We can pick more to take back later for future use.
The boy had endured too much ridicule and abuse; just living was painful enough, let alone drinking such bitter medicine...
Tianyun felt boundless affection for him.
Yu Shanlai, however, felt that she was just putting on an act and being pretentious. She stroked the pearl by her ear and pointed out, "There are only the two of us here. Why does Sister Tianyun need to pretend anymore?"
Countless women in the capital admire the Second Prince; one more won't make a difference. Sister, you're not an outsider; just tell me the truth. The Second Prince isn't even here; who are you trying to fool with this feigned indifference?!
Xiao Ziwu was walking past the wall when he overheard these words, and his back stiffened for a moment.
"..." This is truly incomprehensible. All that I said before was like talking to a brick wall. Tianyun was speechless for a moment.
Fine, you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep!
Why waste words with her? It's wise to leave as soon as possible. Lazily lifting her eyelids, she glanced at Yu Shanlai and gave up struggling.
“Miss Yu is absolutely right. Tianyun wants to change her clothes now, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee.
She walked away gracefully, completely unaware that the person by the wall had already turned pale, his face devoid of color, standing like a pine tree frozen in the snow.
Does she admire the Second Prince?
