She was perfectly fine when I took her to the party this morning, how come she got so sick after only a short time?
An Chaoli frowned, tenderly picked up his daughter, and comforted her.
In her daze, An Yuan'er seemed to see her father when he was young. At this time, her father had not been framed and imprisoned, and he was still full of vigor.
For some reason, An Yuan'er burst into tears. She tugged at An Chaoli's beard and said coquettishly, "Father, you are so young and handsome! Yuan'er misses you so much!"
Being confessed to by his own daughter in front of outsiders, An Chaoli blushed uncomfortably. He didn't even feel the pain when half of one side of his beard was pulled out.
"Hehe!" He chuckled sheepishly, wondering why his daughter missed him so much after only a day apart.
An Chaoli carried the feverish An Yuan'er on his back and comforted him, saying, "Father is taking Yuan'er home. After seeing the doctor, Yuan'er will feel better."
An Yuan'er obediently rested her head on her father's back. Her father's back was broad and reliable, the most secure harbor in the world. An Chaoli carried her steadily, and An Yuan'er didn't feel any bumps along the way.
An Yuan'er told herself that she would never pursue that illusory wealth again in this life. She only wanted to protect her family and the people she cared about, and not let villains sway her from alienating her family.
I must live this life well.
Fearing his daughter might become delirious from the fever, An Chaoli sang to An Yuan'er the whole way: "My daughter is good, my daughter is wonderful, my Yuan'er is a treasure..."
An Yuan'er, kicking her short legs, couldn't help but complain, "Daddy, you're off-key. And it sounds awful!"
An Chaoli stubbornly refused to admit it: "It wasn't unpleasant to hear. You're too young to appreciate it yet, so your father doesn't blame you."
An Yuan'er: "..."
With her father's demonic voice in her ears, An Yuan'er thought that she must have been very clear-headed on the way and would not be confused.
Just as she was about to leave the courtyard, An Yuan'er suddenly remembered something and turned around abruptly.
An Yuan'er saw that Yi Chenli was only accompanied by a small eunuch. He did not ask the eunuch to help push the wheelchair; he pushed the wheelchair himself.
While other princes and princesses were surrounded by attendants, he remained aloof and detached throughout.
An Yuan'er waved goodbye to him from afar, but Yi Chenli never looked up at her.
An Yuan'er turned around in disappointment.
She thought sadly that the future tyrant was so lonely when he was young and innocent. Did he ever long for a friend?
An Yuan'er couldn't get the answer in place of Yi Chenli.

Only after confirming that the girl had left did Yi Chenli look up and stare at the direction where An Yuan'er had disappeared for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Li Gui had served Yi Chenli since childhood, so she had some idea of her young master's feelings.
“The little girl from the An family has a really good relationship with her father. If the prince likes this little girl, this old servant can often invite her to play at our Chenyang Palace,” Li Gui suggested.
Yi Chenli withdrew his gaze and bluntly refused, "No need!"
“The little girl is very noisy, and I don’t like her.”
After saying that, Yi Chenli pushed his wheelchair again and headed towards Chenyang Palace without a word. Li Gui could only follow silently behind him.
Yi Chenli thought, "A round, chubby girl like this must have grown up in a loving family. They're from completely different worlds, so why bother..."
