Chapter 143 The Poor Duck

On the river bank, Bai Qianqian and Helian Tuo, wearing moon-white hooded capes, stood facing each other.

Helian Tuo looked at Bai Qianqian in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless but still asking in a good-tempered manner, "Qifeng said you wanted to see me, did something happen?"

Bai Qianqian looked at the prince in front of her, with a look of grievance on her face. She pursed her lips, but said nothing and just turned away.

Helian Tuo was very familiar with her temper, so he stepped forward to coax her, "Qian'er, tell me, what happened?"

Bai Qianqian then looked at him, her eyes slightly red, and even her voice was filled with grievance, "Yesterday I went to the horse race, and heard that the prince was discussing marriage with the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an."

Helian Tuo had just seen her attitude and had guessed it in his mind. When he heard her say this, he just smiled.

"It's just that my father chose a wife for me because I'm still single. I didn't care about this marriage, so I didn't tell you in time."

He paused, then said, "If you don't like it, I will report to my father and reject this marriage."

As soon as Helian Tuo said this, Bai Qianqian turned around abruptly, with surprise and confusion on her face.

After struggling for a while, she finally shook her head.

"Even if we don't have the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, we still have others."

There was a hint of sadness in her voice, which made her look even more charming against her fair, delicate oval face.

"Qianqian knew that there would be no possibility between us the day I entered the palace. I could not be your wife, but the Prince Li's Mansion needed a Crown Prince's Consort. I came to you today not to argue with you, but just to say goodbye to you for the last time..."

As Bai Qianqian spoke, her voice choked with sobs and a tear just fell.

"Prince, we are not destined to be together in this life, so let's just forget it."

Helian Tuo looked at her sad and touching face, his heart suddenly tightened, and he walked forward and hugged her without hesitation.

Bai Qianqian was hugged by him fiercely, and she struggled for a few times, crying, "Prince, please let me go."

"No!" Helian Tuo hugged her tightly, his tone and actions were tougher than ever before, "I only want you in this life, only you, Qian'er, you are not allowed to say such things again. I won't allow..."

Bai Qianqian's tears fell even harder as she listened to the man's words. She forgot to fight and instead hugged him back tightly, "Prince..."

The river's reflection of the two people hugging each other made them look like a pair of star-crossed ducks who could not get what they wanted.

After a long while, Helian Tuo felt the person in his arms calm down again, then he gently let her go, reached out to gently wipe the tears from her face, and comforted her softly.

"Qian'er, you have to believe me. One day, I will openly and honestly take you back from that man. You are the only prince's consort in my heart."

Bai Qianqian couldn't help shedding tears after hearing his deep feelings.

"Qianqian is afraid that she won't be able to wait until that day..."

In particular, the emperor's attitude towards her has now reached the point of disgust.

If she had not been born in the Bai Mansion, perhaps the emperor would have kept her in the cold palace forever.

After observing her for the past few days, Helian Tuo also understood her situation.

Helian Yue's moods are unstable, and Qianqian will be discarded like a worn-out shoe if she can't get his favor.

After all, he is a heartless and ungrateful man.

"I know you have a hard time in the palace, Qian'er, just bear with it for my sake."

Helian Tuo coaxed her softly for a long time, and finally made Bai Qianqian smile again. He was tall and Bai Qianqian was thin. When they stood together, her head only reached her chin. From his angle, he could only see her chin hidden under her hood. He couldn't help but reach out and take off her hood.

"Qian'er, don't let your imagination run wild. You are the only one in my heart."

He was used to kissing the top of her head, and his action at this time was also out of habit.

Bai Qianqian couldn't help but change her expression the moment he took off her hood, and subconsciously protected her head, "Don't..."

Helian Tuo was stunned, still not understanding why she reacted like that, and then he saw that her hairline was obviously widened and her hair was thin and close to her scalp...

His eyes trembled slightly, and then he frowned.

What is going on?
