Chapter 622 No one can mention Mianmian's marriage.
Aruo is already able to walk.
He walked with a limp, holding a cane.
Little Mianmian sat to the side, smiling as she watched him, a peeled grape in her hand.
She couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
This kid named Aruo is really good at taking care of people.
She couldn't help but think of the letters that Madam Wu and Wei Xun had written some time ago.
The letter mentioned Xiao Qing'er and Mianmian.
Zhou Ruiyuan had previously stated that their princess would never be sent for a political marriage, so naturally they couldn't just marry Xiaomianmian to the Northern Di.
Besides, the weather is cold in the north, and Xiao Mianmian wouldn't like it.
She immediately wrote a letter to refuse the offer again.
She decided to let Xiao Mianmian make her own decisions when she grows up.
As parents, they don't want to control their child's life too much.
“Mianmian.” Du Wanchun walked inside.
Little Mianmian looked up at her, jumped off the chair, and ran to Du Wanchun. "Mommy, come and see, Brother Aruo can walk now."
Du Wanchun greatly admired the child's perseverance and nodded slightly, "Our Mianmian's medical skills are truly amazing; she really cured your leg."
Aruo is a very introverted child, unlike Xiao Qing'er who is lively.
He held his cane, lowered his head, and slowly walked back to the bed, falling silent.
Du Wanchun did not disturb his silence. Seeing that his injuries had healed well, she left after standing there for a while.
Before leaving, he turned back and looked at Aruo one last time.
Suddenly, I wondered what would happen if the Guo family knew that the Third Prince they had plotted to kill was not actually dead.
They might have sleepless nights, be filled with worry, or even get so angry that they vomit blood.
She is now living a very comfortable life thanks to the power of Prince An, but no matter how powerful Prince An is, he is no match for the ruler of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
The king of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom always adored his third son.
Since Aruo disappeared, he has sent people everywhere to search for him.
Prince An even pretended to be deeply in love with his brother and cried several times in front of the king. Seeing how much he loved his younger brother, the king also developed a greater fondness for his eldest son.
However, nothing stays hidden forever. The king of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom began to hear rumors that the third prince had been murdered by the eldest prince.
Although the king did not believe it, he became much colder towards Prince An.
Today, Prince An, having been mistreated by the king, angrily came to Lady Guo seeking comfort.
Guo, with her proud figure, sat on Prince An's lap, her arms around his neck, her face full of seductive smiles.
Prince An kissed her, his hand running through her hair.
After the kiss, Prince An slowly released her, looked down at a strand of silver hair in his hand, and asked in surprise, "Madam, why do you have white hair at such a young age?"
Guo was shocked. She reached up and grabbed her head, asking, "I have white hair?"
Prince An handed her the silver hair in his hand, saying, "Take a look."
When Guo saw the white hair in his palm, she was shocked and froze on the spot as if her feet were weighed down by a thousand-pound boulder.
Prince An tossed the silver hair aside, unconcerned. “I guess you’ve been working too hard these days, that’s why your hair has turned white. I’ll send someone to bring you some black sesame seed pills later to help nourish your hair.”
He was infatuated with Guo, not because of her fabricated divination techniques, but because of her beauty.
Without her beautiful appearance, Prince An would never have given her another glance.
Guo was restless thinking about that silver hair, and before long she angered Prince An and drove him away.
After Prince An left, Madam Guo hurriedly went to the mirror, ran her fingers through her hair, and examined herself carefully.
Sure enough, not only that one silver hair, but layers upon layers of white hair had grown in her hair bun.
Guo slammed the things on the table over, yelling, "Someone come quick!"
Hearing the noise, the maids rushed over, "Your Highness..."
Guo angrily rebuked them, "What kind of hair oil have you been using to comb my hair these past few days?"
The maids bowed their heads and replied, "Your Highness, the hair oil we've been using these past few days is the kind you usually use."
Guo's face turned ashen. She gradually realized that the effects of the previous medicine had worn off. She immediately sent the maids out and took out the little medicine left and poured it down her throat.
However, these drugs have long lost their miraculous effects, and taking more of them is useless.
Guo hadn't slept all night because of her white hair. The next day, she secretly used hair-dyeing herbs to dye her hair completely black inside and out.
After dyeing her hair, she changed into a gorgeous dress and came to Prince An's courtyard, captivating him once again.
Prince An stayed in her room every night, enjoying the same favor as before, unaware that this was nothing but the fleeting glory before vanity.
Outside the capital city gate, the assassin sent by the Guo family, holding a long sword, slowly looked up at the city gate.
This assassin was highly skilled in martial arts, not only in swordsmanship but also in the use of poison.
He used to be a bodyguard who escorted goods for others, and his family was quite wealthy.
Ten years ago, he was escorting goods with his sister in Xuan Yue Kingdom when they were accidentally robbed. His sister got separated from him, and he traveled to various countries to find her.
Later, when they arrived in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, Guo said that she had met his sister and that she would tell him about her if he would work for her.
Now that his hands are stained with the blood of many, he probably will never have the face to see his sister again.
The assassin withdrew his gaze and waited until dawn before sneaking into the city by blending into the crowd.
At noon, Du Wanchun, along with Dong'er and Xiaomianmian, left the palace and arrived at Mr. Yuan's residence.
