Chapter 174: Learn to admit mistakes, so you can live longer
Seeing this, Sang Zhi glared at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li felt wronged: "Eighth Prince, please hurry up, Miss Xiang. It's almost midnight now. It will probably be Chou time by the time we get to the palace. The Emperor has been discussing matters all day and hasn't rested yet."
Ye Qianning regained his breath and complained after hearing this: "It's all because of you who delayed me."
Eunuch Li felt very aggrieved. He had such a big pot on his head. Miss Xiang had so many secret guards behind her, but they chose to make things difficult for him, a eunuch. Who could he go to for justice?
Sang Zhi bent down and exerted some strength to pick her up. His feet were unstable and he swayed a little, then he carried her into the car shakily.
Eunuch Li was surprised that the Eighth Prince could even pick someone up...
This made Eunuch Li even wonder if his physical strength had declined after becoming a eunuch.
Ye Qianning didn't expect that he, who looked so weak, could actually pick her up in one breath. Sang Zhi was ten years old and only a head taller than her, about 1.3 meters tall.
He has no height advantage, and he is too thin, with very white skin. At first glance, he looks unhealthy and sickly.
I don't know where he got so much strength from.
The two got on the carriage and it started moving slowly.
The royal carriage was large and luxurious, with not only soft couches, but also a full supply of tea, pastries, and some candied fruits.
Ye Qianning unceremoniously pinched a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, then sat on the couch and stared at Sang Zhi. He was still wearing the academy's student uniform and sat upright in the carriage.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"happen."
"I heard from my father that the palace gates must be locked, and after that, no one in the palace can come out. How did you happen to be there?"
Sang Zhi was silent.
"You didn't come here just to see me, did you?" Ye Qianning's eyes widened in sudden realization.
"No." Sang Zhi retorted with a blush on his face.
Ye Qianning tilted her head with a smile, staring at him with her small eyes without blinking, watching his face turn from slightly red to bright red...
She found that the old-fashioned boy was particularly bad at lying, and now she understood why he was always silent when she talked to him.
"Well...right?" After a long while, Sang Zhi squeezed out three words with a red face.
"Are you worried about me?" Ye Qianning asked.
"You just came to the capital and are still young. There are many things you don't understand. Prime Minister Gao is in a high position and has great power. How dare you bring people to attack him?" Sang Zhi's face was still flushed as he lectured with a stern face.
"My father is a general, isn't that okay?"
"Of course, your father is a military commander, and the Prime Minister is a civil official. They are both powerful in their own ways. If the Emperor punishes you for being so reckless, your father and the entire Xiang family will be implicated."
Ye Qianning tilted his head, as if listening, but also as if daydreaming.
"I just got off the car and took a look. It's just the plaque and the door threshold that were cut. Although it's a big deal, there's still a chance to make amends. When you see father later, you must admit your mistake first." Sang Zhi kept on reminding.
"Why should I admit my mistake?" Ye Qianning listened for a long time but didn't understand much. Admitting my mistake first? That wouldn't work.
Sang Zhi was slightly taken aback by the question, and then said, "Breaking into the Prime Minister's residence without permission is already a serious crime. Now that there is a war at the border, my father values General Xiang very much. If you admit your mistake, my father will definitely not punish you for General Xiang's sake."
"But why admit it if you're not wrong? If you admit it, doesn't that mean you're wrong?"
Sang Zhi was stunned again, staring at those clear eyes. A strange look flashed across his eyes. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips for a long time before saying, "Only by learning to admit your mistakes can you live longer."
Ye Qianning frowned, raised his hand and held his hand, looking serious: "No, brother, you are not right to say that."
