Yun Duo's face was full of doubt, and her eyes were blinking as she stared at Li Bingchen. Although she didn't say anything, it was as if a hundred thousand questions were exploding in front of Li Bingchen.
"Cough cough..."
Thinking about how he had lied to Yun Duo, Li Bingchen felt inexplicably guilty, and his face seemed to be burning. He subconsciously scooped up two handfuls of cool water and splashed it on his face.
It's like washing your face.
It's also a way to cool down my face.
Of course, escaping is impossible. After all, you can run away one day, but not the next. You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple.
Since she is Gu Shaoyong's daughter, they will definitely have many more opportunities to meet in the future, and she will eventually find out his real name and identity.
After thinking it through, Li Bingchen turned his head, grinned at Yun Duo, and said, "My name is Li Bingchen, and I am the king's fifth son. Um... I didn't mean to lie to you before, it's just that we can't say our real names when we're outside, no matter who we're talking to. It's a rule set by our father, and we can't break it."
After saying that, he looked at the clouds with an innocent expression.
Looking into Li Bingchen's eyes, Yun Duo felt as if he were saying to her, "I didn't really mean to lie to you, I just had no choice, don't be angry..."
Okay. Actually, there's nothing to be angry about. She's been hiding things from him too. Now that he's revealed his identity, she can't possibly tell him everything about herself. Come to think of it, she's the one who's been hiding more things, so why should she be angry?
Besides, a name is just a code; there's really no need to take it too seriously.
Moreover, Li Bingchen genuinely helped her back then. If it weren't for Li Bingchen, even if she had managed to escape, she probably would have encountered many difficulties later on, and her life wouldn't have been as peaceful and easy as it is now.
Therefore, Yun Duo is truly grateful to Li Bingchen.
Yun Duo smiled at Li Bingchen: "So, you're the Fifth Prince of China? Should I bow to you?"
Seeing that Yun Duo didn't seem angry with him, Li Bingchen felt much relieved. He waved his hand at Yun Duo and said, "Tch, what's with all the formalities? We're friends, no need to be so polite."
Before Yun Duo could say anything more, Li Bingchen's stomach suddenly growled.
What's going on? A grand banquet is being held in the palace, where even the children have their own banquet hall to play and have fun, while the prince of the palace is hungry.
Judging from this, Li Bingchen's situation in the palace must be quite difficult. For a moment, Yun Duo felt a pang of sympathy, and also a bit angry.
Li Bingchen blushed with embarrassment.
"I was stopped by Li Binghao and his men, so... Actually, it doesn't happen often. Don't worry, I'm the Fifth Prince of China, they wouldn't dare to neglect me." Yeah, right!
Li Bingchen's explanation did seem like a cover-up, and Yun Duo knew immediately that what he said was not true, which made her even angrier.
Of course, it was aimed at those who bullied and neglected Li Bingchen.
"They got off too easy! I really should have let Xiao Jiu sting them a few times earlier to teach them a lesson they wouldn't forget!"
As Yun Duo pulled Li Bingchen toward the banquet hall, she spoke in a low but indignant voice.
Only then did Li Bingchen realize that it was Xiao Jiu who had helped him earlier.
