Before dark, the group arrived at Yingzhou, the only way to Yanzhou.
There are many people coming and going in Yingzhou, and there are many merchants. As a result, Yingzhou is considered a prosperous place.
Here, you can see people from all over the world, so the culture is diverse and very inclusive.
Yan Xi sat in the carriage listening to the noise outside, and couldn't help but curiously lift the curtain to peek inside.
The streets were bustling with traffic, and there were people performing acrobatics, with onlookers cheering and applauding.
Seeing how fascinated he was, Li Yancheng's eyes curved slightly. "If you want to see it, we can stay here for a few more days."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi lowered the carriage curtain and shook his head, "It's more important to hurry on. I'm going to take up my post, not to enjoy the scenery. I can't delay even a moment."
Li Yancheng nodded, "Okay."
Everyone stayed at the largest inn in the city. After dinner, everyone took the time to rest and set off at dawn.
The night was beautiful, with a cool breeze blowing, but the room was a little stuffy.
Yan Xi couldn't sleep, so he walked quietly to the corridor to get some fresh air.
Just as he was daydreaming, Li Yancheng came over, stood beside him, leaned on the railing, looked at the starry sky, and whispered, "Can't sleep?"
Yan Xi looked at him and hummed absentmindedly.
"Are you worried about something?" Li Yancheng tilted his head to look at him.
Yan Xi lowered his eyes slightly, "No."
"You've been in a daze all day."
The implication is, how can you not have any worries?
Yan Xi looked up at him, not knowing what to say. His thoughts were very complicated and could not be explained at all.
Li Yancheng pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask. But I still want to tell you that no matter what you have in the future, you can tell me. As long as I can help you, I will come forward. Don't always keep everything in your heart."
Yun Candu told me about his situation during this period.
Ever since he and Lou Jinchuan separated, Yun Can often saw him sitting in the yard in a daze in the middle of the night, and his appetite was not as good as before.
However, he always acted like "I'm fine", making everyone think that he was fine.
Yan Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "Prince, don't always be so nice to me. I can handle some things myself."
Li Yancheng stood up straight, looked at him steadily, and said in a low voice, "Yanxi, I like you. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? When I like someone, I want to do something for him. For me, being able to help you is something worth being happy about."
Hearing the words "I like you", Yan Xi tightened her fingers, "I have someone I like."
"I know." Li Yancheng's eyes darkened, "But you can't be together, right?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi suddenly looked up with a surprised expression, "You knew?"
"How could I not know this little thing?"
Yan Xi was suddenly choked. Yes, he was a prince, so it was easy for him to know whatever he wanted.
"So can you try to accept me and give me a chance?" Li Yancheng's eyes were deep, with a hint of pleading in them.
Yan Xi stared at him for a few seconds, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Even if it was the same person, he couldn't take care of both.
He must do what he promised Lou Jinchuan and not go back on his word.
Lou Jinchuan felt insecure, and he couldn't provoke him anymore.
Perhaps the best option is for both sides to refuse.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't want to waste your time."
Hearing this, Li Yancheng unconsciously lowered his hand from the railing. The night breeze blew across his cheek, making his eyes a little sore and his heart ached. "Why?"
Are you that obsessed with him?
When Yan Xi touched his eyes, which turned slightly red for a moment, his already slightly disturbed heart began to ripple with waves, making him extremely uneasy. He wanted to speak, but found himself unable to open his mouth when he met his burning gaze.
He lowered his head, his eyes dark, "I also want to know why."
One difficult problem after another was thrown at him, leaving him no chance to breathe.
"If I say I am willing to accept you but cannot break off my relationship with him, can you accept that?"
He looked up and looked at the person in front of him.
Hearing this, Li Yancheng frowned, a gloomy look gathered between his brows. He clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, "No."
"Yes, we can't, so this is the reason." Yan Xi suddenly smiled.
Seeing him so nonchalant, Li Yancheng's face darkened. "Yanxi, you know very well that if you truly love someone, you won't allow a third person to come between you. Even if you want to reject me, don't do it this way."
The smile on Yan Xi's face gradually disappeared. He moved his lips and said after a while: "It's because I know that I can't give a reason."
Li Yancheng stared at him quietly for a long time. He turned away, hiding the turbulent emotions in his eyes. "I'll give you some time to think about it. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Yanxi, I'm not a generous person." Li Yancheng suddenly interrupted him, "Sometimes, I also use some despicable means."
After saying that, he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Yan Xi was uneasy because of what he said.
Does this sentence mean to use force?
Is this forcing him to choose between them?
What on earth is he trying to do?! He's caught in the middle. Why can't he just stay the same person?!
Yan Xi returned to the room in a irritable state and crawled into bed to lie down.
