The stick only lightly tapped her leg; it didn't actually hurt her.
Lan Jingtang's eyes showed reluctance.
An Yuan'er, you're willing to trade your own leg for his, but he's not willing to, and he wants you to trade instead.
In the end, it was Lan Jingtang who gave in first. From the moment he realized he had feelings for the girl, Lan Jingtang lost all chance of winning.
He spoke with difficulty: "An Yuan'er, you said this has always been your wish, so I will fulfill it for you."
At the bottom of the cliff, the girl thought she was going to die. At that moment, her only wish was to help the man heal his legs.
How much must she have loved him for him to be the only person she could think of until the very end?
Furthermore, if it weren't for helping him treat his leg, she wouldn't have been so sensitive to the Lan family, and she wouldn't have stepped in to save him or become acquainted with him.
Ultimately, the origin of their entire relationship was that of that person.
"Lan Jingtang, I'm very happy that you can help me. Yi Chenli will also thank you."
Lan Jingtang frowned and said seriously to An Yuan'er, "I don't need his thanks. An Yuan'er, I want you to know clearly and plainly that I helped him solely because of you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Because I care about you as a friend, and because I don't want you to be disappointed, I will still fulfill your wish even though I am very reluctant to help him."
"Lan Jingtang, I..." An Yuan'er didn't know what to say for a moment.
She knew that what Lan Jingtang wanted to hear was definitely not gratitude.
Lan Jingtang sighed softly, "Xiao Yuan'er, I really regret that I only met you so late."
If we had met earlier, would her heart have been filled with him instead?
"Let's go, before I regret it."
An Yuan'er finally brought Lan Jingtang to Chenyang Palace, the place where she had been since she was six years old.
It's where she grew up, and where Yi Chenli lived.
Lan Jingtang remained silent, occasionally glancing at the layout of Chenyang Palace.
He discovered that the entire palace was staffed by eunuchs, with no female servants, and that this cold palace bore traces of a girl's growth.
Swings and pavilions have been built here, and a courtyard full of peach blossoms has been planted. It looks deserted, but it has the most beautiful scenery.
Lan Jingtang could imagine that, through spring and summer, An Yuan'er and that man would be here enjoying tea, playing chess, and frolicking... He had only known her for such a short time, and those moments together were things he had missed in his life, things he lacked.
The further inside they went, the more obvious the traces of their time together became. As they passed through the hall, he even saw that calligraphy piece.
The grass on the plain grows lush and green.
These five words were incredibly jarring, and Lan Jingtang was so jealous he was almost losing his mind.
He wondered, how outstanding must that man be to have been crippled for so many years, that Xiao Yuan'er would be so devoted to him?
Lan Jingtang was somewhat expectant. Who exactly was this man who only appeared in Xiao Yuan'er's words, this mysterious sixth prince?
How could he possibly be worthy of such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, like a fairy?
An Yuan'er encountered Li Gui and asked him, "Where is Yi Chenli?"
Li Gui glanced at Lan Jingtang behind An Yuan'er, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, "Master is in his room. Miss An has been away for three days, and Master has been in a bad mood and hasn't gone out much. Miss has finally returned."
“Then I’ll go find him.” An Yuan’er took Lan Jingtang and went to Yi Chenli’s room.
