She was reborn. Because he and Yi Chenli were not on the same side in the future, An Yuan'er was always polite to him from the beginning and never really wanted to befriend him.
However, Yi Chenqi knew nothing about it, yet she directly sentenced him to "death"; he was innocent.
An Yuan'er's gaze drifted and inadvertently fell on the willow leaf bookmark on Yi Chenqi's desk.
An Yuan'er recognized the words on the bookmark; they were An Piao'er's.
She asked instinctively, "This bookmark?"
Yi Chenqi said with a bitter tone, "If Xiao Yuan'er doesn't want to give me her bookmark, someone else will."
"My bookmark has always been..."
An Yuan'er suddenly realized that Yi Chenqi had been trying to reward the first-place winner that day, which she had found strange.
It seems someone is up to no good.
An Yuan'er's mind raced, and she pulled Yi Chenqi, saying, "Yi Chenqi, come with me."
Yi Chenqi was bewildered, not knowing what An Yuan'er wanted to do, but he still followed her.
The place An Yuan'er brought Yi Chenqi to was the route that ministers had to take to court. It was all steps, and only by climbing the steps could one reach the main hall where they went to court every day.
It was dusk, and there was no one on the road.
An Yuan'er took out a thick, long rope from behind her back and wrapped it around Yi Chenqi's legs below the thighs. After binding them, Yi Chenqi's legs could not move.
An Yuan'er has always been bold in her actions, and Yi Chenqi asked uncertainly, "Little Yuan'er, what do you want to do? You don't mean to cripple my legs to avenge Yi Chenli, do you?"
Yi Chenqi never expected that his momentary carelessness would lead him to fall for a girl.
An Yuan'er glanced at Yi Chenqi: "Even if Yuan'er is bold, she wouldn't dare to harm a prince's daughter. Yuan'er just wants the Fifth Prince to play a game with me."
"A game? What kind of game needs this? It's kind of scary."
An Yuan'er quickly gave an answer. She found a wheelchair and helped Yi Chenqi sit in it while supporting himself.
"Fifth Prince, do you see the steps ahead? I'm wondering if the Fifth Prince could go up without using his legs, but with the help of his wheelchair."
Yi Chenqi didn't think much of it, but said confidently, "What's so difficult about that?"
If Yi Chenli can do it, he certainly won't lose either.
Yi Chenqi sat up straight, pushed his wheelchair, and headed towards the steps.
As soon as he started turning the wheelchair, Yi Chenqi didn't expect the friction to be so great. After only a couple of turns of the wheels, his hands were rubbed raw.
However, Yi Chenqi wouldn't let himself lose face in front of a girl. He endured the pain in his hand and continued to push upwards.
The steps had an upward slope, making it very difficult to move forward. Before Yi Chenqi had even gone halfway up, his strength was insufficient, and the wheels started to roll backward.
"Thump."
With his feet bound and unable to move, and his hands also clumsy, Yi Chenqi, along with his wheelchair, fell heavily to the ground in a sorry state.
Ouch! That hurts!
An Yuan'er stepped forward and helped him up.
"Fifth Prince, don't force yourself if you can't do it. Yuan'er will help you untie the rope."
Yi Chenqi was stubborn: "Who says I can't do it? I'll try again."
He saw that Yi Chenli used the wheelchair very well, it wasn't difficult for him at all. Why couldn't he control his own wheelchair?
Ignoring the pain from the fall, he tried again.
One after another, Yi Chenqi fell and injured his hands and feet, but still failed.
"I don't believe it, I'm determined to go up there."
Yi Chenqi tried dozens of times, over and over again.
Until the very last time, he finally...
He turned around and shouted excitedly, "Xiao Yuan'er, I made it up! I did it!"
