He had been standing outside the courtyard of Longxiang Pavilion for nearly an hour, without even a cloak on. He was thin and frail, and his lips had turned blue from the cold wind.
"His Royal Highness..."
"Wait a little longer."
Wait a little longer, the princess will come out eventually.
After this departure, he didn't even know when he would return to Dali again.
And when he comes back again, the high and mighty eldest princess will no longer exist.
"Your Highness, the time has come."
Zhao Gou was urging people outside the door, and the accompanying team was already waiting at the city gate.
These people were all arranged by the princess. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and are determined to ensure that he is safely delivered to the Southern Kingdom.
Pei Yanche was still standing in the yard, his eyes fixed on the door.
Wait a little longer.
Just wait a little longer.
She will come out, she will.
"Your Highness?"
Time passed minute by minute, and the only sounds in the yard were the wind and the falling snow.
His thin lips were tightly pursed and his hands were clenched in his sleeves.
Are you really not coming out?
"Captain Zhao, let's go."
She won't come out.
Pei Yanche turned around, and Bai Zhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
In fact, she felt that the princess was not deliberately staying away from coming out, but she seemed very tired and exhausted last night. Maybe she overslept...
But the princess had ordered that no one was allowed to enter, not even Bai Zhi dared to.
Even when we reached the city gate, there was still no sign of that figure.
Pei Yanche thought that even if she didn't see him off, she would still have something to say before leaving.
No matter what, he stayed in the princess's mansion for eight years and suffered torture for eight years.
But now, because of her temporary kindness to him, he seemed to be about to forget the shame and pain of the past eight years.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself for being such a lowly thing.
How can I forget eight years of torture and hatred?
The team left the city gate and walked in the biting cold wind. Zhao Gou, riding on the red-maned horse, said to the people in the carriage: "Prince Pei, I actually think that the princess did not do it on purpose."
"If not for this, the princess wouldn't have asked me to personally escort Prince Pei."
He is the governor of the imperial army, and has the important responsibility of guarding the imperial city. He cannot leave Shangjing easily. But now he has to leave Shangjing for a hostage from another country.
It can be seen that the princess cares about Prince Pei.
A low sneer came from the carriage, followed by Pei Yanche's voice.
"Thank you for the trip, Captain Zhao. The princess is simply worried that this prince might do something detrimental to Dali."
"Prince Pei, do you think the princess sent me to monitor you?"
Zhao Gou was curious. He didn't know much about the relationship between the princess and the prince, but he knew that the princess was never a good person.
Before leaving, the princess said that he would protect Prince Pei to the Southern Kingdom even if he died. If Pei Yanche had an accident on the way, he would not have to go back.
There was suddenly no sound in the carriage. Zhao Gou knew that there would be no answer, so he simply stopped asking.
He simply said loudly, "The journey is long, and Your Highness is weak. I'm afraid you'll have to endure a lot of hardships along the way. If no one assassinates you along the way, it'll be fine. But if there is, at this critical moment, Your Highness, please be sure to protect yourself and don't worry about the lives of us."
In Zhao Gou's eyes, Pei Yanche was just a good-looking male vase.
In the past, he thought that only women could be described as stunningly beautiful, but after meeting Pei Yanche, he realized that these two words could also be used to describe men.
Especially for a man as handsome and elegant as Prince Pei, no wonder the princess refused to let him go after eight years in the mansion.
The sky was filled with wind and snow, and the carriage was moving farther and farther away, but no one saw the slender figure standing on the city wall.
Baizhi held an umbrella, somewhat confused.
"Princess, His Royal Highness just stood in your courtyard for an hour and you didn't come out. Why is he coming back now?"
Shen Qianyue narrowed her eyes. She couldn't tell Bai Zhi that she had overslept in the spiritual space.
That loser Xiao Ba slept even sounder than her. He drank the fine wine that she had snatched from the Ninth Heaven and buried under the wisteria tree a few years ago, and got himself drunk straight away. He hasn't woken up yet.
"This princess is happy to do so. Do you have any objections?"
Besides, it doesn’t matter whether you give it or not.
She stood on the city wall until the carriage completely disappeared in the wind and snow, then turned around.
"Let's go back home."
As soon as Pei Yanche left, Lan Sichen became more attentive than before.
As soon as Shen Qianyue stepped into the mansion, she heard a pleasant sound of piano.
Bai Zhi was intoxicated: "It's Master Lan playing the zither. Master Lan's zither skills are unparalleled in the capital. Many noble ladies can't compare to him!"
"It's just arty."
She is a female devil. She used to steal other people's magic weapons and did a lot of murder and robbery. How could she have the mind to listen to people playing the piano and watching people dancing?
Besides, what can’t the monsters she raise do?
Is it because he is missing a Lan Sichen who can flirt with her?
"Princess, Master Lan invites you over."
Just as she was about to return to her Longxiang Pavilion, the maid beside Lan Sichen came over again.
"I'm busy." Shen Qianyue refused without even thinking.
"Mr. Kelan is sick."
"If you are sick, please go to the doctor. This princess cannot treat illnesses."
maid:"……"
Why is the princess so stubborn?
The princess was not like this when dealing with Prince Pei.
Bai Zhi saw the maid's dilemma and felt a little sympathy. Didn't she know that the princess only had Prince Pei in her eyes now?
Poor Master Lan, he used to ignore the princess but now he can't reach her.
It's really like the saying goes, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west."
Baizhi felt inexplicably happy.
"Baizhi, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Qianyue suddenly turned around, and Bai Zhi looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
The music of the zither suddenly stopped, as if it had been forced to stop. Lan Sichen's maid showed concern: "Princess, please go and take a look. Even just one glance will satisfy the young master."
If the princess doesn't go, the young master will definitely blame her.
"Forget it, let's go for a walk. Bai Zhi, go get the doctor."
"Yes, Princess."
As soon as I walked into Lan Ya Pavilion, I heard Lan Sichen's suppressed cough. He seemed to be coughing in pain.
"Since you are sick, just take care of yourself. Why bother playing the piano?"
Hearing Shen Qianyue's voice, Lan Sichen's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly stood up, but his body swayed weakly, as if he was about to fall.
Shen Qianyue dodged to the side: “If such a big man were to crush this princess, would you be able to bear it?”
The maid hurried forward to support him. Lan Sichen's face turned pale and he coughed twice: "I'm sorry, it's Sichen's fault. I hope the princess will forgive me."
Baizhi brought a medical officer over, who diagnosed the patient and prescribed some medicine.
He said, "Master Lan has caught a cold. I'm afraid it's quite serious, but as long as he takes good care of himself, he will recover soon."
What you said sounds like fart.
