"It's on your knee too, is it still painful?"
The palace wall is paved with broken stones, and it would be extremely painful to fall down.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Yu Seung-ho scratched his head and smiled indifferently.
It was indeed a minor injury. He had been beaten a lot by his father since he was a child. It was common for him to be chased around the street with a stick.
"I'll apply medicine for you." Helan Minzhi went to find the medicine box that Ji Ma had prepared in the room without saying a word. She had never used it once and didn't know where she put it.
She turned the tidy house upside down but still couldn't find it.
Helan Minzhi was depressed. When she returned to Yu Chenghao, he had already torn the strips of cloth from his clothes and tied them up himself.
It seems that she is no longer needed, but the way she is tied is so ugly.
Helan Minzhi held her chin in her hand and suddenly asked Yu Seung-ho, "Brother Hao, do you think the Northwest is good? What if I really go to the Northwest to marry and never come back?"
Yu Chenghao felt a little panic in his heart. Is she really going to the northwest to get married?
"Have you thought it through?" Yu Seung-ho's voice was trembling.
Helan Minzhi did not continue the topic. She smiled with a somewhat empty look in her eyes. She said, "Brother Hao, can you take me out of the palace to light lanterns during the Flower Festival?" She had been looking forward to it for a long time. Lighting lanterns with Yu Seung-ho was one of her biggest wishes.
Flower Festival, lighting lanterns.
Of course Yu Seung-ho knew what this meant, he hesitated and didn't dare to answer.
He had agreed with himself that he could only treat Helan Minzhi as his sister and not overstep the line even a bit, but he didn't expect that it would be Helan Minzhi who took this step first.
She thought Yu Seung Ho's silence meant he didn't know how to refuse. She lowered her head and smiled softly. After a while, she looked up and took back the self-deprecating smile she had just had. She said coquettishly, "Brother Hao, just take me with you. I know you can find a way. I haven't been out of the palace for half a month. I'm almost getting moldy staying here. I really, really want to go out and play~"
Helan Minzhi is not good at acting coquettishly, and this act of coquettishness is a bit stiff.
But Yu Chenghao's brain, which had been smart all his life, short-circuited at this moment. In his eyes, the only thought was that Helan Minzhi really wanted to leave the palace, and then the idea of taking her out of the palace, so he said, "Okay."
Helan Minzhi was so happy that she stood up to pick out some clothes and tried them on for Yu Chenghao to see.
I have already begun to imagine what a beautiful scene it will be for them to stand together under the Jiuyue Bridge and release lanterns.
From the moment she said she wanted to go release lanterns with Yoo Seung-ho, she was destined to say goodbye to such a happy life.
Living a good life is indeed her life creed, but she can't stand such a dull life, so she can at least live a short happy life and then contribute a little of her value as the princess of Fuding Kingdom.
***
The day before the Flower Festival, a funeral was held at the General's Mansion.
It was a small funeral with no condolences. The old general's concubine Wang died.
She had been ill for a long time, coming back and forth.
Except for Jin Xiyan, almost no one in the entire mansion showed any sadness.
Some servants even complained to her that it had to be the day before the Flower Festival. Although Wang was just a concubine and had no right to hold a large funeral, she still had to observe the basic three days of mourning.
Not only did Jin Xiyan have to stay at home and not go out, but the servants in the mansion also had to stay with her.
However, soon, everyone in the general's mansion regained their joy because good news came from the northwest border.
A few days ago, the entire city of Funing was in a panic because the Simu Kingdom in the northwest had successively captured seven cities of the Fuding Kingdom and demanded that the war continue unless a marriage alliance was reached.
Even though Liu Mo's 30,000 elite troops had been rushed to the northwest overnight within half a month, it was of no avail. At this rate, they would soon reach Funing City.
The good news from the northwest was not about retaking a city or winning a battle.
Instead, after hearing that the Queen Mother of Fuding had agreed to the marriage, the Simu Kingdom began to withdraw their soldiers from the seven cities and promised to complete the withdrawal within three days.
This is great news that the whole country should celebrate!
But there was one person who was unhappy, and that person was Yu Seung-ho. After hearing the news, he hid in his room alone, drinking and throwing things angrily.
Using a woman to stop the enemy from attacking and seizing cities, what kind of thing is that!
He was still useless and failed to protect the woman he loved.
No wonder Helan Minzhi was so eager to light lanterns and celebrate the Flower Festival with him. It turned out that she had already agreed to marry him, and this was the last time they could get along well with each other.
Yoo Seung-ho pounded his chest over and over again, retching in pain.

East Palace
In Jin Suting's room.
"Miss, tomorrow is the Flower Festival. His Highness has asked this servant to bring you fresh flowers."
The maids who came in had their eyes covered with cloth. This was a strange rule set by Helan Ruizhe. Ever since Yuan Jing told him about the gossip of the two maids who were responsible for watering the flowers in the garden, he locked up all the maids who had seen Jin Suting's face, and ordered that anyone who entered Jin Suting's room must cover their eyes and not look at her face.
This made Jin Suting very embarrassed. She felt it was very troublesome. The maid had to enter her room at least three times a day. It must be very tiring to do this every day.
"Come on, I'll just wear a mask."
"No, you'll feel uncomfortable wearing a mask."
“…”
Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a perennial champion in wearing masks, so it’s better to listen to him.
At this moment, the blindfolded maid had closed the door and left. Jin Suting looked at the pile of flowers on the table.
