Ever since the Eighth Princess returned to Beijing, the Sixth Princess would often come to sit in her courtyard.
On the surface, the two of them appear to be very close sisters.
But secretly, Qingyin knew it.
This guy is probably waiting to bare his fangs at any moment.
However, Fang didn't wait for the reward, but instead received some bad news.
Qingyin's figure was a little shaky, with disbelief on her face, "Honglian, you, what did you just say?"
Honglian's face was also pale. She tried to calm herself down, but her hands were still shaking. "Princess, the fifth prince has been accused of poisoning the emperor and is now imprisoned."
"No, it's impossible. How could the emperor poison someone?" Qingyin said in disbelief.
The Sixth Princess stood aside, her face showing no emotion.
But a feeling of both happiness and distress arose in my heart.
The good news is that once the fifth prince falls, Qingyin naturally loses her backing.
The trouble was that she had just come up with other ideas. If the fifth prince fell, her plan would naturally fail.
But, that's all.
Compared to seeing Ninth Sister in such a miserable state, those things didn't seem important.
If you ask her why she hates Qingyin so much, actually, there is no reason.
The Sixth Princess withdrew her thoughts, a trace of worry on her face. "Ninth Sister, don't be too sad. Maybe there was a mistake somewhere."
Qingyin nodded and said, "Yes, it must be a mistake. I want to go back to the palace." After that, she picked up her skirt and ran out.
Honglian followed closely behind and said, "Princess, please slow down."
The Sixth Princess looked at the two people running away in panic, the corners of her mouth slowly rose, and her smile became more and more intense.
She looked at the candy figure on the table that Li Yu had given Qingyin this morning, slowly picked it up, and took a bite.
Although she obviously doesn't like sweet things, she still slowly ate the whole candy man.
Qingyin, who was running out, bumped into the person who came. Qingyin raised her head and saw that familiar face. She couldn't hold back her tears, which slowly slid down her face like broken beads.
She choked up and said, "Li Yu, my royal brother...he, he...won't harm my father. Believe me!"
Qingyin finished the sentence in a halting manner, with a pleading look on her face.
Li Yu hugged her softly and comforted her: "It will be fine."
"Will everything really be okay?" Qingyin grabbed Li Yu's clothes tightly, hoping that this would give her some strength to support herself.
Li Yu turned his eyes away slightly. He couldn't look into a pair of eyes full of trust and give an answer that he couldn't predict.
When Qingyin saw his action, her heart sank instantly. She stubbornly tugged at his clothes and said, "Then tell me, how is my brother now?"
Li Yu gently placed his hands on Qingyin's shoulders, and said with heartache and determination: "Ninth Princess, trust me once, I will protect you."
She shook her head and pushed Li Yu away, "Honglian, prepare the horse, I want to go back to the palace."
She doesn't trust anyone in this world except her royal brother.
"Young Marquis, are you okay?" The Sixth Princess suddenly trotted out from the darkness and asked with a concerned look on her face.
Li Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the Sixth Princess, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
The Sixth Princess' heart skipped a beat when she was looked at by such eyes. She forced a smile and said, "Young Marquis, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"
After saying that, he took the handkerchief and prepared to wipe it.
Qingyin looked at the Sixth Princess's behavior and couldn't help but sneer.
The Sixth Princess froze, and looked at Qingyin with a hint of flattery in her eyes, "Ninth sister, I..." She bit her lip and looked at Li Yu with a barely perceptible grievance.
Li Yu frowned, not realizing the Sixth Princess's grievance at all. He was hesitating whether to speak because he remembered something.
Honglian quickly had a carriage prepared. She walked over quickly and said, "Princess, the carriage is ready."
Qingyin just raised her foot.
Li Yu said: "Sixth Princess, why don't you go back to the palace together?"
Qingyin paused.
The Sixth Princess was also confused.
Li Yu walked towards Qingyin, helped her into the carriage, and then looked at the Sixth Princess.
Although the Sixth Princess looked confused, she saw Li Yu looking at her steadily. She took a deep breath, suppressed her heart that seemed to be about to jump out of her throat, and slowly walked towards him.
Thinking that he would be helped up by Qingyin just now, he used up all his life's calmness and stopped two steps away from Li Yu.
She smiled and raised her hand slightly.
Li Yu walked past her, went to the other side of the horse he was riding, and jumped on it.
The Sixth Princess froze, then pretended nothing had happened and slowly stepped onto the footstool.
When she got into the carriage, she saw Qingyin already seated, looking outside. Her heart was twisted to the extreme. She slowly sat down and whispered, "Ninth sister, if Fifth Brother really poisoned Father, do you think Father would let you go when you return this time?"
or,
Your Majesty, will the Eighth Princess let you go?
She would like to take a good look at it then.
Without the protection of the Fifth Prince, Qingyin would be humiliated to such an extent.
Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on her face.
The carriage moved slowly.
Qingyin was not angry at all, and looked at her with a smile, "Are you very happy?"
The Sixth Princess was startled, but when she thought of Li Yu riding a horse beside her, she put on an understanding face.
Qingyin lost her patience and asked, "Do you think Li Yu will like you if you do this?"
The Sixth Princess didn't expect Qingyin to see through it. She pretended to be calm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The young marquis and I are innocent."
Qingyin sneered, "I didn't say you and him weren't innocent. I meant that Li Yu was a man you weren't worthy of."
The Sixth Princess's face turned pale, and the smile she had just put on instantly twisted. Then, she thought of something and said coldly, "I think Ninth Sister should take care of herself."
Qingyin looked up at her, and after a long time she looked away, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Although she had won, the Sixth Princess felt a little uneasy.
She lifted the curtain and saw Li Yu's back on horseback.
For a moment, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Li Yu felt the burning gaze behind him and looked back.
I only saw the curtain of the carriage swaying, but no one was seen.
He didn't pay much attention to it and turned his gaze back to the front.
This time, as soon as he heard that something had happened to the fifth prince, he rushed over without stopping.
His father stopped him and asked, "What should you do? What can you do?"
He didn't know, he only knew that he had to stay with her.
There may be a mountain of swords or a sea of fire ahead.
He always has to accompany her.
The last time he returned home, he was detained by his father.
He didn't expect that his father would be even more unacceptable to him liking the Ninth Princess than being with a man.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
He naturally understood the situation in the court.
So, when he first had this idea, he had forced himself to give up.
But the more he shouted to give up, the more that thought grew like a vine, until it filled every corner of his heart.
