Chapter 160 Binding Him
At a time like this, let alone the prince, any man would be so clingy.
When you don’t have something, or when you want it the most, you are the easiest to talk to and the most willing to coax others.
It's not like she hasn't seen him fall out before.
No matter how deeply in love he is now, and how many vows he has made, in the future when faced with the social status quo, he will still abandon her and favor Xu Wan.
But Li Runrun still took a few more glances at him, because it was inevitable that her heart would be soft-hearted and she would like him too.
Li Ruanruan gently pulled out her fingers, and he held her hand, not too tightly.
He loosened her fingers one by one until the last one was separated and looked at her: "Want to come back?"
Li Ruanruan laughed: "Where else can you run to? You can't leave this East Courtyard anyway."
Ye Yunchu raised his hand and lowered the bed curtain. He lay behind the curtain, and his figure became blurry.
Li Runrun really wanted to go back to the ear room and bolt the door, but if she did, the prince would be angry.
If she offended him deeply, she would suffer no good consequences.
Besides, the door bolt couldn't withstand his kick.
Although he probably wouldn't do that, what if he did? Then the initiative would no longer be in her hands.
It would be better to let her coax him, maybe with a little more gentleness, and the night could get through.
Li Runrun didn't understand either, and no one taught her. Most importantly, she couldn't even tell him that she was pregnant.
She reached out and touched her belly, then moved her hand away.
Ye Yunchu waited for a while, then sat up and saw the maid coming back.
She lifted the curtain, and before Ye Yunchu could say anything, his eyes were blindfolded.
He chuckled and touched the cloth covering his eyes: "Where did you learn that? You're reading those bad books again."
Li Ruanruan blushed: "My Lord, please speak less."
He paused, then touched the black cloth on his face. It was unknown what he was thinking, but a smile was still on the corner of his lips.
So gentle, as if it wasn't him who got angry at her when she came back.
Li Runrun covered Ye Yunchu's eyes.
Ye Yunchu handed it over with both hands: "This bundle?"
Li Ruanruan grabbed his hand and waved it away: "No need to tie it up."
This cannot be tied up, because it cannot tie him up, but instead it will arouse certain thoughts in his mind.
Li Ruanruan looked at Ye Yunchu: "You are still criticizing me, what kind of storybook did you read?"
Ye Yunchu came up to Li Ruanruan and said, "I've read a lot. Do you want to read it? I have an out-of-print copy. Let's read it together? Hmm?"
Li softly pressed his shoulders, pushed him onto the pillow, and then said, "Don't look."
"Look."
She covered his mouth: "Be quiet."
Ye Yunchu kissed her palm and waited for her to let go.
Then he said so meekly: "Okay, I'll listen to you tonight."
..........
Li Runrun got up very late the next day. When Ye Yunchu got up in the morning, she opened her eyes. Her waist was sore and she didn't want to move.
After getting enough sleep, I opened my eyes and moved around a bit, but I didn't feel any discomfort.
When I sat up, it felt no different than usual.
A sigh of relief.
Li Ruanruan got up and washed up. When she returned to the ear room, she saw a note on the table.
Li Runrun picked it up and glanced at it. Apart from the prince's secret guards, no one would put a note on her desk like this.
This shouldn't be the prince's handwriting, it looks very standard.
It was written by the secret guard who delivered the note.
That makes sense, who is worse than the people around the prince?
Sure enough, the time was changed, and within three days, it should be today.
After reading it, Li Runrun threw the note into the charcoal brazier and burned it. Then she picked up the tongs and turned it over, watching the paper burn to ashes, with nothing left.
It would be better to change it to today. It’s almost the end of the year and I’m worried that the prince won’t have time to see her.
If you want to escape before the Crown Prince's wedding, the sooner you make arrangements, the better.
She was lost in thought as she sat in front of the charcoal brazier, thinking about how to discuss matters with the prince in the afternoon.
Then she got up and took the box from yesterday out of the cupboard. She pulled out a brick from under the bed and hid some of the gold in it.
I want to bring some to exchange for jewelry.
You should know that jewelry made by skilled craftsmen in the capital can often be sold at a higher price when brought to the wealthy provincial capitals below.
After all, not every place is convenient for coming to the capital.
But the desire for luxury goods is the same.
Preserving value is also a form of investment.
Li Runrun put the gold into her purse.
In order to prevent the gold from being taken away by the prince, after all, the prince has a criminal record.
Before Li Runrun went to the teahouse, she went to the jewelry shop first.
This time she came out with Ye Qiaoqiao, otherwise it would be difficult for her to come out alone without Ye Qiaoqiao.
But Ye Qiaoqiao is different. Everyone in the mansion knows that Ye Qiaoqiao has a Suzhou embroidery shop outside. It is registered under the name of the prince, but it is actually managed by Ye Qiaoqiao.
If you go out, just say you are going to the shop and no one will be suspicious.
Ye Qiaoqiao saw that Li Runrun spent money like water and bought a lot of gold bracelets, anklets and gold hairpins that looked like they were made of extraordinary craftsmanship.
He was shocked and grabbed Li Ruanruan's hand: "Ruanruan, what happened?"
Li Ruanruan chuckled softly, looking very happy: "The prince gave it to me so that I could buy some decent jewelry."
Li Runrun picked up the anklet and thought it was a good thing. When she ran away, she asked her father and brother to wear it on their feet and hide it in their socks so that no one else could see it.
Ordinary people cannot take it away.
This is much safer than hiding banknotes in the soles of your shoes.
Li Ruanruan nodded.
Ye Qiaoqiao was surprised when she heard Li Ruanruan say this: "When did big brother become so generous?"
Originally, Ye Qiaoqiao knew that Ye Yunchu was generous, but after hearing Li Runrun say it several times, and considering the cooperation with Su Xiu, she also labeled Ye Yunchu as stingy.
The stingy prince was so generous that it frightened her.
Then Ye Qiaoqiao said, out of pure curiosity: "If I buy so many anklets, will I be able to wear them all?"
Li Ruanruan hummed, raised the anklet, and whispered in Ye Qiaoqiao's ear, "Put them on the prince, two on each foot."
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Li Ruanruan in confusion and whispered in her ear, "What does this mean?"
"It means wanting to bind him forever, to tie him down."
"So that's what you mean."
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded, then reached out sheepishly and picked up one: "Then I'll buy two for Master Gu too."
Li Runrun was amused. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Ye Qiaoqiao to actually believe it.
But he didn't go too far and reached out to grab her hand: "Just buy one and give it to him first to see if he likes it. Not everyone can accept it. If he can't accept it, wouldn't it be a waste."
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded as if she had learned something.
Li Runrun bought the bracelet and paid for it, but she didn't expect that they would be spotted by the prince's secret guards as soon as they got off the carriage.
At this time, the secret guard was hiding in the dark, and with his extraordinary hearing, he heard every word of their conversation. After thinking it over, he prepared to go back and tell the prince without missing a word.
