Qingyin looked up at him, feeling helpless and pitiful like an abandoned cat.
Luo Jingxuan finally sighed and said in a gentle tone, "Does it still hurt?"
Qingyin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, but was afraid that he didn't believe her, so she lifted up the injured part to show him.
"Follow me."
After Luo Jingxuan finished speaking, he left.
Qingyin also knew that this was not the place to talk, so after a while, she slowly followed.
But after walking for a long time, she didn't see anyone.
It’s over!
She lost the person.
Just when she was anxious, someone suddenly grabbed her right hand and pulled her down, causing her to fall into the rockery.
"Luo..."
Before he could finish his words, his lips were sealed.
Only a humming sound remained, and the voice was broken.
She was released after a long while. Qingyin felt a little out of breath and took a few deep breaths before she felt better.
She was about to get angry.
But his hand was gently lifted up, "Does it hurt?"
Qingyin blinked in a daze. Was he feeling distressed?
Qingyin climbed up the pole and pouted, "It hurts."
Luo Jingxuan suddenly put her hand down, "You deserve it!"
Qingyin pursed her lips in anger, then remembered that she still needed help from the person in front of her. She quickly put on a pitiful expression and said, "Grand Tutor Luo, although I don't understand the affairs of state, the people and officials praise you, so I believe you must be a very good person, so..."
"cannot."
"You didn't even listen to me, so why can't you?"
"You don't have to listen, and you can't."
He naturally knew what she wanted to say. As for the matter of the Fifth Prince, he could only say that he could do nothing to help.
In fact, to him, he was better than the ambitious Fifth Prince and the easy-to-control Crown Prince.
Besides, there was nothing wrong with the prince, he was just a little easily influenced and confused in his actions.
He is not suitable for a monarch of an open territory.
However, for the monarch who is defending the country, it is just right.
Qingyin grumbled in dissatisfaction, "The people praised you as a good official who spoke up for the people. You clearly knew that my brother was wrongly accused, yet you let him do nothing. How can you be considered a good official like this?"
Luo Jingxuan brushed off his sleeves and said, "The Fifth Prince is not a commoner."
"You! You are making excuses!" Qingyin said angrily.
Luo Jingxuan laughed angrily and said, "Who is making excuses, me or the Ninth Princess?"
"Princess."
A familiar voice coming from a distance made Qingyin panic: "You can't go out!"
After saying that, he casually pulled his clothes and walked out from another exit.
What she didn't know was that not long after she walked out, the people in the rockery also left through another exit.
Honglian almost cried when she saw Qingyin, "Princess, where have you been? You scared me to death."
Qingyin, "I'm just taking a walk."
Honglian looked around and saw the rockery. She felt a little uneasy and said, "Princess, are you... not afraid anymore?"
"Afraid?" Qingyin murmured subconsciously.
She looked back at the rockery from afar. It was no different from the other rockery in the palace.
If you really want to find a difference, there is a jujube tree next to this rockery?
jujube?
Qingyin suddenly found a strange memory in her head.
"Ninth sister, shall we play hide-and-seek together?"
Qingyin rubbed her temples.
Is that the voice of the Sixth Princess?
When she saw the young Qingyin, she was confused at first, and then suddenly nodded happily. This was the first time that a sister played with her, so no matter what the Sixth Princess said, she would do it very obediently.
"Ninth sister, you just hide in there, okay? I'll ask someone to come and look for us later."
However, this hiding lasted for a long time.
Until a voice sounded outside, Qingyin thought that it was the person sent by the Sixth Princess who came to find her.
She was worried about being found, so she sneaked towards another cave and tried to escape.
But who knew that he would be seen by that person.
Later, when the man saw Qingyin, he was stunned at first, but then he laughed uncontrollably, "I didn't expect there was such a beautiful person hiding here."
At that time, Qingyin's mother had passed away.
The eunuchs and palace maids only cared about the powerful and the weak, so naturally they didn't serve her attentively. So, in Meng Yuan's eyes, he thought Qingyin was just a new maid in some palace.
Although Qingyin didn't understand the look in Meng Yuan's eyes, she subconsciously felt that the look made her unhappy.
So, she immediately wanted to escape.
But she was just an eight-year-old girl, how could she escape from an adult man?
So, when Meng Yuan caught her, although she struggled hard, it was of no avail.
later,
Qingyin rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with anger.
When Meng Yuan grabbed her, she struggled but took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit his wrist hard.
While he was in pain, she ran away.
But Meng Yuan didn't want to let her go at all and chased after her relentlessly.
That afternoon, she felt despair for the first time.
Fortunately, the emperor's brother saw that she was not in the room and came out to look for her. When he saw her being chased, he picked up a stone next to him and threw it at Meng Yuan without thinking.
She just watched.
The blood slowly seeped into the soil along the winding stones, more and more... until it flowed to her feet.
Seeing her feet, whose shoes had fallen off at some point, soaked in blood, she fainted from fear.
When she woke up again, she had forgotten about it.
She only remembered that her royal brother had been away from her for five days. When he came back, it seemed that from that time on, those servants who used to flatter the powerful and the weak gradually became respectful to her.
