Chapter 36
The princess was stared at for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think the princess has become more and more beautiful in the past two years."
"What a smooth talker!"
"Princess, I think Princess Yuan will definitely use this incident to her advantage."
"Um"
"Does the princess have some plans?"
"No"
"Then the princess must be careful."
The princess put down her book, looked at Lin Ce, and beckoned with her finger. Lin Ce obediently knelt down in front of her.
The princess lifted Lin Ce's chin and looked at him tenderly.
Do you know why I've always refused to have you?
"Why?"
Because I'm afraid.
Lin Ce grabbed the princess's hand urgently.
"Lin Ce will not leave the princess."
The princess shook her head.
I'm afraid I'll leave.
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm afraid I'll get tired of you, so I've been reluctant to touch you."
Lin Ce kissed the princess's hand.
"No, Princess, you won't. Lin Ce is willing to do anything for you."
"Then let me see what you're capable of."
"good"
Yan Heng didn't know if his decision was right or wrong; he would tremble all over just thinking about it. He looked at Yun Song, who was tidying up beside him, and didn't even dare to tell him. Yun Song noticed his unease and asked him with concern.
"Phoenix, what's wrong?"
After much hesitation, Yan Heng finally told Yun Song his plan. Yun Song immediately collapsed to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably. He then crawled to Yan Heng's side.
No, no!
Yun Song shook his head in despair.
"That won't work."
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and her voice trembled violently.
Yan Heng seemed to have made up his mind.
"I've made up my mind, but I still need your help."
Yun Song didn't want the Phoenix to do that.
"For my sister, for you"
"Yun Song doesn't want her, he doesn't want the Phoenix."
Yan Heng helped Yun Song up and gently comforted him.
Do you trust me?
His only response was tears and despair.
A month later, Yan Heng had made full preparations and happened to run into the eldest princess admiring the flowers in the garden.
"Sister, you've come here to admire the flowers too?"
"Isn't this Heng-di? What brings you here?"
The eldest princess dismissed everyone.
"I come here to admire the flowers often, but I don't see you here very often, sister."
"Yes, it's rare for me to come here and then run into you."
"What? Is your sister scared?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
"I'm afraid Sister Lu will take your place, oh no, I'm afraid she'll take back her own place."
"What did you say?"
Anger surfaced on her beautiful face.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
The princess did not want to argue about it.
"Hmph, consider this my bad luck."
Yan Heng grabbed the princess who was about to leave.
"Sister, we rarely see each other, don't you want to have a chat?"
Let me go
Yan Heng gripped the handle so tightly that it hurt a little.
"Doesn't your sister want to know where she falls short?"
"Ha, I'm inferior? In what way am I inferior to that bitch? I was born into nobility, and I am the first princess of the Phoenix Kingdom. Where exactly am I inferior?!"
"But I haven't even said who's worse than me, so why are you angry?"
"You! Now you're even playing word games with me?"
"No, but now it seems that Sister Yuan is indeed much dumber than Sister Lu."
"You! Yan Heng! I advise you not to push your luck."
Yan Heng's grip tightened, causing Yan Yuan pain and making her struggle. Yan Heng then pushed himself into the water, following her force.
The cold water instantly enveloped his limbs, like countless needles piercing his pores. He coughed and shook his head, frantically grabbing at the water's surface. His ankles seemed to be pulled down by an invisible hand, and his body tilted backward uncontrollably. Water was poured into his mouth and nose again, the salty liquid stinging his throat.
The eldest princess, seeing that things were going badly, cried out for help.
Everyone rushed over, and those who could swim jumped in instantly to save Huang Zi.
Yan Heng was carried into the room, and the imperial physician was immediately summoned to come and see him.
The second princess rushed over immediately upon receiving the news and waited outside with the eldest princess.
"elder sister"
"snort"
The eldest princess still didn't give her a friendly look.
Huang Shang also rushed over in a hurry, and the two immediately bowed.
"Wishing Your Majesty a speedy recovery."
"No need for that. How is Heng'er?"
"Still not awake"
"How could someone suddenly fall into the water?"
Yan Yuan explained.
"It's all my daughter's fault. She was playing with her younger brother in the Imperial Garden and accidentally caused him to fall into the water."
"you!"
"It's all my daughter's fault, Your Majesty, please punish her."
Yan Lu stood quietly to the side, watching Yan Yuan put on his act.
At this moment, Yun Song ran out of the house.
"Phoenix Ascends"
"Alright, stand up and talk. How is Heng'er?"
"Your Majesty, the Phoenix Prince has awakened."
Huang immediately went inside to check.
"Heng'er, how is he?"
Yan Heng struggled to sit up and answered weakly.
"Your Majesty, I am mostly unharmed."
"That's good. How could you have suddenly fallen into the water?"
Yan Heng's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"It's all my fault. I was wrong and didn't know how to speak properly. I offended Sister Yuan. It's all Heng'er's fault."
"Yan Yuan!"
The eldest princess immediately knelt down.
"My daughter acted unintentionally; I beg Your Majesty to punish her."
Yan Heng coughed as he prepared to bow.
"It's not Sister Yuan's fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have blocked your way."
Yan Yuan didn't expect him to pull such a childish trick just to annoy him, so he held back and didn't say anything.
"Since Heng'er has said so, then you should rest well during this time, and no one should disturb you."
"Daughter takes her leave"
Yan Yuan bowed deeply and left the room, leaving behind the mother and son, deeply moved.
