Yi Chenli's lips were pale, and his whole body was filled with a deathly aura as he sat listlessly in his wheelchair.
His leg had been examined by the best doctors in Shengjing, and there was no hope of saving it. Only that silly girl still believed in miracles.
If there really were any miracles, Yi Chenli thought, he was definitely not the person chosen by God.
He muttered to himself: Round and chubby, how can I get you to accept someone as flawed as me?
Just thinking about it makes Yi Chenli feel ashamed that he had already taken the image of the world's best treasure.
But he couldn't bear to let her be with a disabled person; she would be ridiculed. He couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit.
A gloomy atmosphere enveloped Yi Chenli; he seemed to have entered a dead end from which he could never escape.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms withered, and the hottest summer arrived.
An Yuan'er is afraid of the heat, so the ice from Chenyang Palace is always sent to her room first.
Because it was so hot, An Yuan'er only wore a simple thin gauze dress in the room during the summer, which could be seen faintly revealing the charming figure of a girl just beginning to develop.
Whether it was to avoid suspicion or because he was still bothered by what happened last time, Yi Chenli had changed his mind. They used to eat, play chess, and drink tea together every day, but in the past three months, they had hardly seen each other at all, let alone played chess or drank tea together.
Every time An Yuan'er asked the eunuch to call Yi Chenli over to eat together, the answer was always the same: he had something to do and told An Yuan'er to eat first. Eating alone, An Yuan'er truly found the food tasteless.
Later, Yi Chenli took away the young eunuchs and replaced them with several young maids of the same age as Guoguo. The maids were clever, so An Yuan'er naturally didn't dislike them. However, suddenly being surrounded by strangers, An Yuan'er couldn't organize the young eunuchs to hold a strategic meeting anymore, and she felt somewhat lonely.
Once, she finally managed to catch the number one eunuch to ask him about the situation. The number one eunuch seemed to have suffered a great misfortune, and he lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look up at her.
The first eunuch said pitifully, "The Sixth Prince said that if any of us servants dare to stare at Miss An again, he will gouge out our eyes and feed them to the dogs. The Prince also said that it was inconvenient for us servants to serve her, so he replaced her with a new palace maid."
An Yuan'er angrily chased the little eunuch away.
What's wrong with Yi Chenli? He even cares about eunuchs. Isn't it said that eunuchs aren't men anymore after they lose their manhood?
The ladies in the palace are served by eunuchs even when they are washing and changing clothes. She only organized a small meeting with the eunuchs, but Yi Chenli was so stingy that he forbade her from doing this and that. How could she live like this?
Girls dress up beautifully not only to make themselves happy, but also because they hope to be appreciated by others!
It's one thing for Yi Chenli not to come, but now he's even taken away the little eunuch. Can this person be any more domineering and excessive?
An Yuan'er was very upset, but Yi Chenli kept avoiding her, so she could only stare helplessly and get anxious.
Regarding Yi Chenli's leg, although An Yuan'er was rejected once, she didn't give up and was determined to persuade him again. In An Yuan'er's heart, Yi Chenli was exceptionally talented, charming, and possessed countless virtues. It would be such a pity if he were disabled for the rest of his life. An Yuan'er would feel very regretful and sorry.
We must try again.

It's hot, and some people still won't stop.
The eldest prince, Yi Chenxuan, and the fifth prince, Yi Chenqi, were no longer satisfied with their rivalry in the academy and began to extend their reach further and further.
