Although Yingning learned An Yuan'er's method, there is a fundamental difference.
An Yuan'er would never say that even though Yi Chenli was disabled, he had people to take care of him. She understood Yi Chenli; she knew how much he wanted to stand up.
Therefore, what An Yuan'er gave Yi Chenli was more encouragement. Even though the hope was slim, she was willing to try to help him get better.
Yi Chenli is not the kind of person who is willing to be served and live a comfortable life.
Ying Ning was still immersed in the illusion that she had answered very well, unaware that some things can only be learned superficially by imitation; the true inner essence cannot be learned.
A cold glint flashed in Yi Chenli's eyes; his mood was even worse than before.
He spoke softly, "Since the princess can accept being crippled, then naturally I don't mind. Take a look at my crippled leg."
Ying Ning's expression changed drastically. She had only been deceived by his handsome appearance, but she had never actually come into contact with a disabled person.
Her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Yi Chenli's trouser leg.
What do those legs look like? Are they terrifying? Disgusting? Scary?
She could no longer pretend to be indifferent; instead, she trembled slightly.
Yi Chenli lowered his voice and sneered, "Didn't the princess say she liked me? Why are you scared now?"
Even without raising his voice, Ying Ning was intimidated by the terrifyingly low pressure emanating from Yi Chenli. This man had no chivalry whatsoever, and no sense of tenderness towards women.
Ying Ning took a few steps back, not daring to look Yi Chenli in the eye. She completely forgot the purpose of her visit and staggered away.
Yi Chenli watched Ying Ning flee in disarray, then pushed the wheelchair back without expression.
He stopped halfway through the procession and said to Li Gui, "Yesterday, Yuan Yuan was fussing about wanting to eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). The salted egg yolk and pork zongzi from the shop near the East Gate is said to be the best. Have someone buy some for her so she can eat them when she wakes up."
Li Gui nodded: "This servant understands."
Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yi Chenli return to his room.
My master is terrifying. One second his eyes are full of murderous intent, and the next second he can order me to buy the zongzi that Miss An wants to eat.
One is heaven, the other is earth.
Princess Yingning is likely to be disappointed.
A master like that either doesn't get moved at all, or once he does, it's a lifelong commitment.
Even if Princess Yingning tries her best, it will probably all be in vain.

Princess Yingning did not leave; instead, she stayed in the west wing.
She picked up a pen and wrote a note.
【Today, Yingning acted rashly out of timidity; please do not take it to heart, Your Highness. Yingning's feelings for Your Highness remain unchanged, and one day, she will accept everything about you. Please give Yingning some time.】
“Send someone to deliver this to the Sixth Prince.”
Zijing took the note, somewhat displeased.
She complained, "How can a princess of such noble status live in such a small room? It's beneath her dignity. Besides, it's always been others who pursue our princess. When has she ever lowered herself to fawn over a cripple?"
Yingning gently scolded Zijing: "I've really spoiled you. Look at you, calling me a cripple all the time. The Sixth Prince doesn't like hearing that, so you can't say it anymore."
"Besides, so what if it's a side room? No one lives in it yet. Aren't there enough rooms for you?"
Zijing said, "This servant is not acting for myself, but for the princess. This servant has inquired and found out that the young lady from the An family lives next to the sixth prince. An Yuan'er is just a noble lady, why should she live better than the princess?"
Yingning said nonchalantly, "She arrived before me, so it's fine if she's staying in a better place, but what about the future..."
