"I was wrong. I will just wait for you here from now on."
"Xuan Xixi, I am so happy to be your Crown Princess."
"Then you will be my Crown Princess forever and never leave me."
'OK. '
"If you fail to do what you promised me, I will not forgive you."
"Ah." The man suddenly let go of the snowball and curled up on the ground with his head in his hands.
The dagger was pressed against his cheek, and King Xuan trembled with fear. He squatted down carefully, "It's the emperor's fault. The emperor should have dealt with Pei Shi earlier. It's all the emperor's fault."
Xuan Yanyu's ears were buzzing, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Ningning, can you take me home with you?"
"Ningning, please don't abandon me. Take me home with you."
"Okay, I'll take you home." The girl agreed with a smile.
"Yan Yuning!" The man looked up at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you abandon me? Why did you lie to me? Why did you leave secretly? Why? Why?"
"Yu'er." King Xuan took advantage of his distraction and snatched the dagger from his hand.
"Empress." His sight fell on King Xuan, and Xuan Yanyu seemed to have found his backbone, "She lied to me... She lied to me..."
The man's voice faded away, and he slowly leaned on King Xuan's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, the decree to postpone the succession ceremony has been issued." Feng Xixi threw the incense in his hand into the bamboo basket.
"Yes." Prince Xuan patted Xuan Yanyu's back lovingly, and looked at Yan Yuning on the bed. His words trembled between his lips and teeth. After a long while, he said, "After settling the Crown Princess, I will take Yu'er back to Prince Xuan's Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
——
Xuan Yanyu opened his eyes again. After two days, he suddenly sat up, rubbed his stuffy heart, his eyes full of unwillingness and despair.
"Yu'er, you're awake." Empress Xuan touched Xuan Yanyu's forehead with tears in her eyes, "You're not hot anymore, does your head still hurt?"
After His Majesty brought Yu'er back to the Xuan Palace, he developed a fever that night and fell into a coma. He kept muttering to himself, and Ningning left him.
Ningning went home and didn't want him anymore.
Her heart ached as she listened.
"Return." The man closed his eyes tiredly.
"Yu'er, can you accompany the Queen to eat something?" Queen Xuan gently coaxed, "You haven't accompanied the Queen for a meal for a long time. Accompany the Queen for a meal today."
"Yes." Xuan Yanyu nodded hoarsely. He lifted the brocade quilt and was about to get off the bed when Ye Chen walked into the hall holding two portraits, "Your Highness, take a look."
The man's eyes fell on the portraits. One showed a girl in gorgeous clothes, pulling his ear angrily, and the other showed him coaxing the angry girl with gentle eyes.
He seemed to see his Ning Ning adjusting her clothes and hairpins again, "Your Highness, do I look good?"
"Does it look good? Does it look good?" the girl came closer to him and asked with a smile.
"Xuan Yanyu, I will take you home."
'We'll go home together.'
The girl's smiling face suddenly turned into a mocking one, "Xuan Yanyu, I was just kidding you, did you believe me? How could I take you home? I won't, I will never take you home, never."
"Take it out, take it out!" Xuan Yanyu roared, his hands trembling as he gripped the quilt.
"Xuan Yanyu, I will not take you home."
