Princess Anyang also looked at Xu Boyan, "Did your dog bite someone?"
Xu Boyan immediately retorted: "That's impossible. My dog never bites anyone."
Zhang Yi covered his bitten thigh and said, "Are you saying that I'm not human?"
Xu Boyan was silent.
Princess Anyang immediately said, "Since it bites people, just send it away."
Xu Boyan didn't say anything, so Princess Anyang took it as his consent.
Afterwards, Zhang Yi retreated to tend to his wounds. Xu Boyan followed him and said, "Since my dog caused this, I'll bandage your wounds."
When the two of them arrived at Zhang Yi's room, Xu Boyan actually bandaged his wounds in a very serious manner.
His gaze was so focused that it frightened Zhang Yi.
"I am a lowly person, how dare I let the general take action." He said this and tried to pull his leg away from his hand.
But Xu Boyan did not let go.
After he bandaged his wound, he stared at him with a dark gaze, "I can understand why you don't like me and even try to play those little tricks on me, but how does my dog bother you?"
"General, don't you understand?" Zhang Yi said sarcastically, "The princess obviously doesn't like that dog. I didn't do this for myself, but only for the princess."
"The princess has been kind to me. If the general is devoted to her, I would naturally be happy to see her happy. But the general has already been married to the princess, and you're still bringing your ex-wife's dog with you. This is inappropriate!"
Although he was born thin, he was not afraid of Xu Boyan at all when facing him, and was even full of contempt for him.
Xu Boyan's eyes showed a complicated expression, "That's what you think."
He said this without waiting for Zhang Yi to answer, and then walked out of the room.
Xu Boyan returned to Princess Anyang's room. The princess was reading a storybook and was laughing out loud when she was in high spirits. But when she saw Xu Boyan, she immediately stopped laughing.
Xu Boyan suddenly spoke up, "That dog is not hers. I've kept it with me for many years. It's been with me for almost ten years."
Princess Anyang looked up in confusion.
"Don't you think it's familiar?"
Xu Boyan sat opposite Princess Anyang.
"When I was little, I was nearly taken away by human traffickers. It was the princess who saved me in that critical moment."
"That time, the dog almost lost its life in order to save me."
"The vet said he was beyond saving, but he was eventually brought back to life."
Princess Anyang showed a look of realization.
"But after that, the princess seemed to have forgotten all of us."
Princess Anyang showed a look of surprise, "You mean this dog is the one I raised when I was a child?
She did have a dog when she was young. She named the dog Xiao Hei and she loved the dog very much.
When she was six years old, she took Xiao Hei outside and did save someone.
In saving this man, she herself was injured.
When she woke up, she returned to the palace and couldn't find Xiao Hei. Everyone said that Xiao Hei was dead.
No one told her that this person was Xu Boyan.
"No wonder, no wonder it was so close to me. I never thought..." She was slightly stunned, then said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Xu Boyan added, "I am telling you this to express my feelings."
"From the age of seven until now, I have only loved the princess. As for your cousin—"
"She has passed away. Originally, I did not want to talk about the deceased, but now I think it is impossible not to talk about it."
"It was at a party when she suddenly approached me."
Princess Anyang knew about the banquet. She had liked Xu Boning for a long time. Her cousin saw what she was thinking and said she would ask Xu Boning what he thought on her behalf.
She also made a sachet, and her cousin eventually brought the sachet back. Xu Boyan did not accept it, so naturally he did not like her.
Soon after that, Xu Boyan got engaged to his cousin.
Xu Boyan continued, "Afterwards, the Song family sent me an invitation to a banquet. I naturally had no interest in these banquets, but the Song family said that the princess would also be returning that day, so I went."
"That day she told me about the princess, saying that she had someone else she loved. I was feeling down, and she suddenly took off her clothes and threw herself at me. Someone saw her again, and she threatened to die, so I had no choice but to marry her."
"I later found out that the tea she gave me was drugged, but I didn't drink it, so she just ignored it."
"With something like this happening before, it's impossible for me to truly consider her my wife. We've only been a couple in name only these past few years."
"Actually, three years ago, the Song family fell into decline, and I was demoted to Wannian County. Others must have thought I was frustrated, but only I knew that I felt a sense of relief in my heart."
"Instead of watching the princess and Xu Ke being affectionate here every day, it would be better to leave."
"She had never suffered hardship before, and a cold took her life. The death of my husband was something I had never imagined. That's when I thought of coming back."
After listening to Xu Boyan's stories, Princess Anyang was stunned for a long time.
Since her cousin was already dead, she naturally had no way to verify it.
But she believed in the dog.
For a moment, Princess Anyang felt a little at a loss when facing Xu Boyan.
She couldn't treat him coldly like before, but...
Xu Boyan said, "So, Princess, can you please give me a chance because I am so honest?"
