Jing Lan came out of Yongfu Palace and returned to Changxin Palace with his swollen face.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, the palace servants dared not say a word.
Recently, the fifth prince's temper has become more and more strange.
These palace maids were arranged by Concubine Su to be around Jing Lan. They didn't care about him at all. Now they simply stepped away without asking whether he had eaten.
Jing Lan sat by the window in the study with a heavy heart, wondering if he had been too impulsive today.
Perhaps he could continue to play along with Su Fei and her daughter, and there was no need to tear their faces apart like today.
But he really couldn't stand being used as a tool by them!
At this moment, he even wanted to go to his father himself to explain his life story!
"Is anyone here?"
At this moment, a soft, baby-like voice suddenly sounded in the yard.
Jing Lan looked out the window and saw Xiao Shuangbao coming.
Behind her followed a palace maid, who was holding a food box in her hand and looking around with her little head.
"Strange, Sister Chen Cao said she saw the Fifth Prince come back from Yongfu Palace alone after being beaten up in the face. Why is there no one here?"
She was muttering to herself in her baby voice.
As soon as Jing Lan saw Xiao Shuangbao, his bad mood instantly improved a lot.
"Shuangbao, I'm here." Jing Lan stood up from the window and waved to her with a smile.
"Brother Fifth Prince!" When Xiao Shuangbao saw him, he immediately ran towards the study happily.
When Shuangbao saw the redness and swelling on Jinglan's face, he felt distressed.
"Fifth Prince, who hit you? Was it Concubine Su? Does it hurt?"
She asked with concern.
As she spoke, she took out a white porcelain bottle from the small brocade bag on her waist, "Fifth Prince, Shuangbao is telling you! This medicine is what Shuangbao asked father for!
"Dad said this medicine works!
"Just apply a little bit and it will quickly reduce swelling and bruises!"
As she spoke, she opened the white porcelain bottle.
Then her big eyes flickered as she looked at Jing Lan: "Fifth Prince, Shuangbao is going to apply medicine on you! It might be a little painful... Well, Daddy said that a real man should be strong and not afraid of pain.
"But, the Fifth Prince is still a child!
"So, even if you cry in pain later, it's okay!
"Shuangbao will keep the secret for his brother and won't tell anyone else, or he'll cry!
"Now, Shuangbao will start applying the medicine!"
As Shuangbao spoke, he put ointment on his little hand and began to gently apply it to the swollen side of Jinglan's cheek.
Her movements were extremely gentle and cautious, afraid of hurting him again.
The little eyes are full of seriousness and care.
At this moment, Jing Lan's originally noisy and bustling heart suddenly became quiet.
He realized he had made a mistake.
In his previous life, he lived for Su Fei and Su Ruyi and never thought about himself, so he went against Su Chushuang at all costs and ended up with a miserable end.
In this life, his heart was filled with hatred towards Su Fei and Su Ruyi.
But just now, Shuangbao said that it didn’t matter even if he cried in pain, because he was still a child.
This made him suddenly realize that he could not allow himself to continue to be immersed in hatred, but should re-plan and live a good life for himself.
"Sister Shuangbao, thank you."
After figuring this out, Jing Lan's mind became much clearer. He pinched Shuangbao's little face and thanked him sincerely.
"Hey, you're welcome, brother. Shuangbao promised last time that she would protect you and not let you suffer any injustice!"
After Xiao Shuangbao applied the medicine on him, his face suddenly became serious.
She looked at Jing Lan, "So, Fifth Prince, please tell Shuang Bao quickly, were you beaten by Concubine Su?"
"Yes, it's her." Jing Lan nodded.
"Then, the Fifth Prince was beaten, not because he did something wrong, right?" Xiao Shuangbao asked again.
Jing Lan shook his head.
"I'm not wrong."
He said confidently, "I just told her the truth that she didn't want to hear, so she hit me."
"Okay! Shuangbao got it!"
After listening to this, Xiao Shuangbao nodded solemnly.
Jing Lan suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Sister Shuangbao, what do you want to do?" he asked.
"Hehe! Of course it's to avenge the Fifth Prince! We can't afford this loss!" Xiao Shuangbao said seriously.
"revenge?"
Jing Lan couldn't help but smile.
He pinched Shuangbao's nose and said, "But Concubine Su is my mother. Even if she hits me, it's only natural. What's more, she is your aunt. If you do this, others will say you are doing something wrong."
"She is not Shuangbao's biological aunt. She treats Shuangbao badly, and Shuangbao doesn't recognize her!"
Xiao Shuangbao immediately said sullenly.
Upon hearing this, Jing Lan fell silent for a moment as he thought of the miserable days that Xiao Shuangbao had endured in the Su family due to abuse.
After all, in his previous life, he had known for a long time that Little Shuangbao's identity had been replaced by Su Ruyi, but he chose to be an accomplice of Su Fei and Su Ruyi, and did not expose them, allowing Little Shuangbao to suffer in the Su family...
At this moment, thinking of this, Jing Lan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of guilt towards Xiao Shuangbao.
"Shuangbao, if I have done something bad to you, will you forgive me?" Jing Lan couldn't help but ask.
"If it were in the past, Shuangbao could forgive the fifth prince." Little Shuangbao thought for a while and said.
