Chapter 56
Ever since Luo Sanrong and Li Yin parted ways on bad terms last time, Luo Sanrong has been deliberately avoiding Li Yin, deliberately taking on jobs that are not in the East Palace in order to avoid Li Yin.
Until today, Li Yin directly dismissed everyone and came to Luo Sanrong.
Luo Sanrong was busy with the tasks assigned to him by Eunuch Ma. When he looked up and saw Li Yin standing before him, he quickly stepped back, bowed, and said, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
Li Yin did not speak as he took out a bracelet from his sleeve. This bracelet was the 'Chain of Eternity' that he had taken a fancy to last time. He did not buy it immediately because of the incident with the tail knife. Later, he went back and saw that the bracelet was still there, so Li Yin bought it immediately.
Luo Sanrong looked at the bracelet and asked in confusion, "What is this? What?"
Li Yin put the bracelet on her and jokingly said, "It's the most suitable jewelry for a beautiful woman! What else could it be?"
Luo Sanrong noticed at a glance that Li Yin was wearing the same bracelet on his wrist, but she didn't say anything.
"Beautiful woman? Who?" Luo Sanying asked with his head tilted.
The bracelet was finally put on. Li Yin cupped Luo Sanrong's cheek and said ambiguously, "I said I'm in love with a woman, and she's right in front of me."
Luo Sanrong's eyes were a little evasive, but Li Yin forced her to look him in the eye and said word by word: "You are the woman I cherish most in this world."
Luo Sanrong's heart skipped a beat, her heart exploding. Her fingers curled unconsciously. She cautiously asked, "Do you know everything?"
Luo Sanrong did not clearly say what she knew, and she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Li Yin directly admitted: "Yes"
Luo Sanrong's voice trembled slightly as he continued to ask, "Could it be that in the Imperial Garden..."
"yes"
There was a burning sour feeling in Luo Sanying's throat, the ending of his words was tinged with a barely perceptible tremor, and his eyes were stubborn.
She looked at the person in front of her, her fingertips clenched white and her knuckles turned blue. Her back, which had been straight just a moment ago, was now trembling slightly.
The breeze from the corridor blew the fallen petals of late spring past, ruffling her hair and making her question less assertive, leaving only a hoarse voice half-choked with sobs: "Since, since you already know...are you kidding me?"
Li Yin was at a loss and could only hurriedly apologize: "I'm sorry," and then said softly: "But this is definitely not because I look down on you."
"While I was sitting comfortably in the sedan chair, you were walking; while I was walking, you were holding on to the canopy until your arms were almost broken; I was sitting on silk and satin, while you were sitting on the muddy ground. How can I say that I cherish you like a woman?"
The heartache in Li Yin's eyes was about to overflow.
Luo Sanrong took a step back, collected himself, and said, "I am the internal official who takes care of His Highness. This is only natural."
Li Yin also took a step forward, took Luo Sanrong's hand, and his eyes fell on the 'Eternal Chain' that he wore. He leaned over and whispered in Luo Sanrong's ear: "This is not the way a man treats the woman he loves."
Luo Sanrong raised her head, and Li Yin realized that her eyes were filled with tears. Li Yin took her hand, kissed her and said, "Now, you are the woman I cherish most in this world."
Finally, the tears could no longer bear the weight and slid down her face. Li Yin wiped her tears and said warmly, "I will block the wind for you, block the sun for you, and take good care of you, okay?"
Luo Sanzhen raised her head and said to Li Yin, "Yes, I am a woman, but I have never lived as a girl."
Li Yin said, "Can't we start now?"
Luo Sanrong once recalled her mother's repeated warnings, telling her not to let others know that she was a girl, otherwise she would be killed.
Luo Sanrong refused: "No, I can't do something I can't do in a place that doesn't belong to me."
Then, he took a step back and said, "I am afraid that I can no longer bring His Highness..."
Li Yin interrupted her and said directly: "This is not your fault. The fault is that I didn't recognize you earlier. So, from now on, I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
After saying this, he gently took her hand and placed it on his heart, letting her feel the strong and fiery beating, as if to prove that his oath was not empty talk.
Luo Sanrong stared at him blankly, "Your Highness..."
After hearing Li Yin's true confession, Luo Sanrong's first reaction was to escape. She hurriedly bowed to Li Yin, said goodbye, and fled back to a place she thought was safe.
Li Yin did not chase after her. He thought that maybe he should give her some time. He looked at the bracelet on his wrist and fell into deep thought.
Weidao didn't expect that he just came to report what he had learned, but unexpectedly learned that his master was actually with the suspect, so he was unsure whether to tell His Highness that "Luo Sanrong is very likely to be Hong Jingxiu's daughter."
He hesitated, and finally he left the East Palace quietly. Perhaps, he would tell him after he had figured out everything!
After leaving the East Palace, Weidao went straight to the training ground. From childhood to adulthood, if he encountered any troubles, he would choose to vent his anger in the training ground. When it was over, it was already late at night, and he returned to the Eunuch Palace.
Weidao sat on the beam in a daze, not saying a word.
Luo Sanrong noticed something was wrong and asked, "Wei Dao, are you worried about something?"
Wei Dao hesitated, but finally he decided to test the waters, "I have a question."
Luo Sanrong was already lying on the bed. Upon hearing this, he sat up and said, "Ask!"
Otoko: "What did you do before you became a eunuch?"
Luo Sanrong showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't I tell you?"
Perhaps she remembered it wrongly, she replied: "On Yuncong Street..."
After hearing this answer, Weidao couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad. He was happy that she told him the truth without reservation, but he was sad that the man also found out about it on Yuncong Street.
Tailblade continued, "What about before that?"
Luo Sanrong: "Live with my mother."
Tail Knife: "Where's your father?"
Luo Sanrong: "I heard she passed away. When I was very young, I didn't even know her name, so in my memory, my mother was everything to me."
Luo Sanrong once recalled that on a certain day every year, her mother would hand her over to the aunt next door and go up the mountain alone. Moreover, her mother was always in a bad mood before and after that day.
Later she accidentally learned that that day was her father's death anniversary, but she couldn't understand why her mother never told her?
Luo Sanrong asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly asking about the past?"
Wei Dao was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "Do you still like Gong Li?"
Luo Sanrong didn't say anything.
However, according to those who know Luo Sanrong, this shows that she still likes the palace.
Weidao sighed silently in his heart, forget it, let's keep this matter secret for as long as possible!
Ever since Odao asked her this question, she had been thinking at night about whether she liked the palace or not, so, as expected, she got up late the next day.
When he hurried to the East Palace, Eunuch Ma saw Luo Sanying, who was late, at a glance.
Eunuch Ma called Luo Sanrong out alone and asked, "Luo Sanrong, what are you doing? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely busy right now."
She was indeed late, and she had nothing to say but to admit her mistake.
At this moment, Zhang, an eunuch from the queen's palace, happened to pass by. After learning what had happened, he said sarcastically, "You've persisted for a long time, but you can't hold on any longer? Do you want me to send you somewhere else?"
When Eunuch Ma heard this, he rolled his eyes inwardly and sternly stopped him, saying, "No, without His Highness's permission, you are not allowed to transfer the people around His Highness without permission."
Xiao Gao, who was behind Eunuch Zhang, spoke up. He came up to Eunuch Zhang and said, "Let me fill that vacancy!"
Xiaopang agreed: "Can I come too?"
Eunuch Zhang scoffed, raised his orchid finger, and said disdainfully, "You don't know yet! Our Highness held his first court meeting, and none of those ministers came."
No one spoke.
Zhang Neiguan continued, "Look, what am I saying? Even if you're acting as an official, you have to do a good job to have a bright future. Otherwise, you'll be the target of public criticism."
Eunuch Ma sternly shouted, "Master Zhang!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his bottom line.
Eunuch Zhang snorted coldly and walked away swayingly with a group of people.
Eunuch Ma spat at his back, venting his anger on Luo Sanrong. He shouted, "Did you hear that? Your actions will only bring shame upon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I know!"
