Chapter 422 I like you if you are the prince, but I think it is a waste of time if I don’t look at you
Qiao Wanyan didn't know how to describe He Zhiyu at this moment.
The crimson corners of the eyes, the misty pupils, and the slightly trembling lips were all things she had never seen before.
He looked at her with burning eyes, just wanting to find an answer.
Seeing such pitiful He Zhiyu, Qiao Wanyan let out a long sigh, with a hint of sadness in her brows.
What should I do?
Seeing him like this, I wanted to make him cry even more pitifully.
"I like your highness."
He Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes, covered with layers of mist, reflected tiny pieces of light along with his expectant gaze.
He will know!
Qiao Wanyan: "I only like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The light only lasts for a moment before being drowned by endless darkness.
Qiao Wanyan said calmly, "Your Highness, what are you doing now? You once said that you only love Qiao Yihuan in this life, and you will only marry her as the Crown Princess even if the road ahead is full of thorns. Now you ask me if my love for you is fake. Excuse me, I think it's ridiculous."
He Zhiyu's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
That’s right, the first time he saw Qiao Yihuan, his heart started beating wildly.
An emotion he had never experienced before suddenly arose in his mind, an emotion he could not explain clearly but was extremely strong.
I want to be close to her, I want to talk to her, I want to spend my life with her.
He did so. Whenever he saw her, he felt warm in his heart and satisfied.
But what should he feel warm about? What should he feel satisfied about? He had never thought about it carefully.
It was as if...he was born to love her.
But now, He Zhiyu listened to her words and suddenly began to wonder, if he liked Yihuan, and if he had to have her, why would he ignore the fact that she was sent away by the Qiao family?
He knew clearly that Yihuan didn't really want to leave the Qiao family or leave the capital that day.
He knew it clearly, but he acquiesced to the Qiao family sending her away and did not stop them.
Does he really like Qiao Yihuan?
Thinking of this, He Zhiyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and the pain made his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat.
Qiao Wanyan was shocked when she saw his extremely painful expression. She took two steps back and was held by Xu Shujian's shoulders.
"Second Miss, are you okay?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't answer him, but was surprised when she saw He Zhiyu covering his head in pain.
Can't you bear the blow?
What I said doesn't seem to be too much, right?
Xu Shujian showed no sympathy for He Zhiyu's current state, and said, "Second Miss, His Highness doesn't look well. Shall we go find a doctor to check on His Highness?"
He Zhiyu was shaking with pain and couldn't stand. He staggered and fell to his knees on the ground.
Seeing Qiao Wanyan was about to leave, he immediately grabbed her hand, his red eyes pleading: "Don't go..."
Qiao Wanyan wanted to shake off her hand, but He Zhiyu was so strong that she couldn't break free for a while.
"Let go!"
Tsuru Chiyu raised his head and asked, "So, you never liked me, right?"
Qiao Wanyan felt a little pain from his grip, and frowned as she replied, "You are from a royal family, I don't believe you are stupid, you just don't want to face the facts so you ask me over and over again."
"I like you, but I also don't like you."
"I like you because you are the prince. If you are not me, I would think it is a waste of time to even look at you."
She said it clearly, and He Zhiyu felt a chill all over his body and his heart was trembling violently.
Qiao Wanyan: "He Yanli only has me in his eyes. Even though he says he hates me, he has never really hurt me, either in the past or now. But Your Highness, what about you? How many times have you hurt me because of Qiao Yihuan? How many times have I been hurt because of you? Do you still remember?"
Tsuru Chiyu's hand that was holding her wrist slipped away.
He Yanli only has eyes for her?
Yes, she agreed without hesitation even if it meant cutting off her heart’s blood, so how could I hate her?
He himself said that he just hated Wan Yan for not loving him.
Qiao Wanyan half-closed her eyes and looked at him: "I can always pretend that I have never suffered any injustice, but you are useless."
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
Qiao Wanyan didn’t know what happened to He Zhiyu later. She only heard that after he returned to the East Palace, he claimed to the public that he was unwell and did not see anyone.
Qiao Wanyan admitted that she said those words without considering the overall situation and that she must not make the same mistake a second time.
Not everyone in this world is He Yanli.
What's more, although He Yanli went to Zhenyang Pass, no one can be sure whether he can quell the disaster at Zhenyang Pass and make great contributions like He Zhiyu.
But she felt that He Yanli was not an incompetent fool.
On the contrary, he was very smart. Although the emperor was partial, he was never vague in his teachings to the princes.
But the situation had come to that point, and she felt suffocated if she didn't say it out.
The little fox was well taken care of in Yongning Pavilion these days. He tilted his head and looked at Qiao Wanyan lying on the couch, as if she was thinking about something. He then looked at the grapes that the maid had just brought up, and an idea came to his mind.
It jumped onto the couch and rubbed Qiao Wanyan's arm, looking at her with narrowed eyes, looking flattering.
Qiao Wanyan glanced at it and cursed, "Get lost!"
The little fox left the scene in disgrace, and was even more difficult to deal with than the man who had raised it before.
The human heart is hard to predict.
I was hugging it and patting its head in the morning, but now it is yelling at me.
Zi Yuan walked in and said, "Miss, tomorrow is the blessing ceremony. I heard that the master will also enter the palace. Do you want to join in the fun tomorrow? I heard that officials can bring their wives."
The blessing ceremony is divided into two days. One day is held in the Baohua Hall in the palace, and the other day the emperor will leave the palace and go to the National Temple. The people can witness his holy power and accept the emperor's blessings and grace.
"Not interested." Qiao Wanyan glanced at her and asked, "Did you have pork elbow for lunch today?"
Zi Yuan blinked her eyes. "Miss, how did you know?"
Qiao Wanyan: "Wipe your greasy mouth. You ate all the extra food you had for the day, didn't you? Do you have any money saved now?"
Zi Yuan shook her head. "I don't have a father, a mother, or brothers or sisters. Is it useless for me to save money?"
I use my monthly allowance to buy big pork elbows to eat. It’s such good value for the money!
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips. Yun Yao still had baby fat because she was still young, and Zi Yuan still had baby fat purely from eating.
At this time, a servant came in and said, "Miss, the doorman came to report that a palace maid came to deliver a letter."
Zi Yuan took it and handed it to Qiao Wanyan.
She opened it and took a look. "Jingxin asked me to enter the palace tomorrow. It seems his antidote will be ready soon."
"Then Miss, are we still going to the palace tomorrow?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything. She thought about it carefully. "The antidote is not due tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow. He asked me to enter the palace tomorrow, probably because he will leave the palace and return to the National Temple the day after tomorrow, and he is worried that the medicine will not be delivered in time."
"Go and prepare yourself, and go to the palace tomorrow to attend the blessing ceremony."
"Yes, miss."
