The carriage traveled for a day and a night, and finally arrived in Yaozhou.

When I left Yaozhou City, I never thought that one day, I would come back.

Now, the carriage is parked in front of Yaozhou City, and the city is still lively, but unfortunately, things are not people, and the scene at the beginning seems to be still in front of us, but now, it has long been different from the past.

His Royal Highness still stopped at the Tianxiang Inn, and I was placed in the room next to him, and Dr. Cao was in the same room with Pei Yue.

Dr. Cao first bandaged my wound and applied medicine, and then His Royal Highness personally sent me food, estimating that I had no appetite, so he sent a porridge and side dishes.

"Xiyan, eat some." He handed me the porcelain spoon.

I shook my head, I had no appetite, and even my throat was dry and painful, but no matter how much water I drank, it seemed that I couldn't quench my "thirst".

"Xiyan, you still can't give up on him?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at me.

The candle flame on the table flickered, shining on his warm and jade-like face, but it looked mottled.

I didn't respond, stood up, and opened the window.

"It's cool at night!" He said to me softly.

"I feel, chest mouth, suffocation." I lowered my eyes and looked at the bustling city below.

The people below also drank wine and ate meat at the night stalls, and some went shopping in twos and threes.

"I'll let Dr. Cao take your pulse?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that, and he was about to walk towards the door.

"No need, in a few days, it will be fine." After I finished speaking, I turned around and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Highness also looked at me, his eyes, gentle as water, are still in my memory, His Highness as warm as moonlight.

"Xiyan, this time in Beijing?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked to my side, and there was a hint of melancholy in his watery eyes.

"Your Highness, you don't need to spend any more time on me, when the time comes, you will hand me over to the priest, but Xiyan has something to ask for!" As I spoke, I knelt down for His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Sunset!" He immediately held me up: "What's the matter with you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Please, no matter what, save Dr. Cao's life!" I looked at him: "I know that this matter is also difficult for you, but Dr. Cao is affected by me." ”

I bit my lip lightly and pleaded with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He just stretched out his hand and gently stroked my neck: "Between you and me, where does the word "ask" come from? ”

"Your Highness?" When I heard this, my heart was immediately filled with apologies.

"Does it hurt?" He stroked the wound on my neck: "I'm still too late to make you suffer." ”

"No, Your Highness, you?" Before I finished my words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand and hugged me in his arms: "Xiyan, marry me, become my crown princess, let me be rightful and protect you." ”

"Your Highness?" I was stunned, and my eyes were gloomy: "I am already married." ”

"I don't care what happens when I get married." As he spoke, he hugged me tighter.

"I care! The crown princess, in the future, I will be the mother of the world, not only am I not a prominent family background, nor am I a complete body, I am not worthy of His Royal Highness! With that, I gently pushed him away.

His Royal Highness looked at me with a gloomy gaze: "Even in the past, you didn't want to marry me, you said that you were not worthy of me, it was just an excuse." ”

I was silent, and I didn't dare to look at his dejected expression now.

"That's it, as long as you marry me and have the name of the crown princess, the priest will not dare to do anything to you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, taking my hand up: "I know that you have no self in your heart, but I still hope that you can be my only wife." "It's easy

"Wife?" I muttered.

"Yes, even if it's the nominal wife, the nominal crown princess, it's fine." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at me.

I shook my head: "Your Highness's kindness, forgive Xiyan for not being blessed." ”

"Xiyan, if that's the case, after you enter Shengjing, I'm afraid, Priest?" His Royal Highness was solemn.

"They want to kill or chop, it's all whatever, I don't care." I looked out the window and said indifferently.

"Your senior sister, you have already returned to the palace." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly spoke.

"Back to the palace?" I looked at His Highness: "Didn't she go back to the village?" ”

"On the way, something happened, and now I am unstable, I have been sick for several months, but I have not recovered, and your senior brother?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly when he talked about his senior brother.

"Senior brother has also returned to Shengjing?" I looked at His Highness in amazement.

At the beginning, when we were separated, I asked my senior brother to take my senior sister back to the village.

Shengjing is a luxurious cage, and he finally found a chance to escape, why should he go back?

"Your senior brother, now, is in the priesthood." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, his eyes becoming gloomy: "I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

"At the Priestess?" In my heart, I already chuckled, that is to live under Xiao Ce's nose?

"Xiyan, I can let you go, but in the future, you will definitely blame me, blame me for not telling you all this!" His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes were full of melancholy: "It is the next step to let you go back to the palace, but I know that you will definitely choose to go back." ”

"I will go back, however, I will not marry you." I pursed my lips, I owe him too much, I don't want to continue to drag him down, after I go back, I admit what fate it is.

"Would you rather die than marry me?" His Royal Highness half lowered his eyes, and there were faint tears in his eyes, but he forcibly endured it, turned around, and walked towards the door of the house with only one sentence of "good rest".

I looked at his departing back, and there was loneliness written in this back.

He left, and I was still standing by the window, looking at the pedestrians below, and the man in blue carrying the lantern on the Flower God Festival came to my mind.

"Xiyan?"

Outside the door, Dr. Cao's voice sounded.

I turned my head sideways and saw Dr. Cao standing in front of the hidden door.

"Doctor Cao, come in." As I spoke, I walked over to the wooden table and made him a cup of tea.

Doctor Cao looked at me: "You have a wound on your hand, don't move." ”

"It's just a minor injury, it's fine." I said lightly.

"This is Bai Qing, I went to find the scald plaster, the wound on your foot must be carefully applied, otherwise, it will leave a scar." After Dr. Cao finished speaking, he squatted down and gently lifted the corner of my skirt to give me medicine.

"Doctor Cao, I'll come by myself." Immediately I reached out to lift him up.

"Girl Chu, your father is gone, I will try my best to take care of you in the future." After he finished speaking, he had already taken off my cloth shoes, but when he looked at my feet, he did not move for a long time.

I lowered my eyes and looked at my feet, and found that after the burns, there was a layer of blisters, but in the past few days, the blisters have worn away, and the ankles and sides of the feet are blurred with flesh and blood.

"Chu girl, now, this medicine must be a little painful, perhaps, it hurts more than wine, you bear with it." Dr. Cao raised his head and said to me distressedly.

I nodded, smiling and saying I wasn't afraid of pain.

He lowered his eyes and smeared the black plaster on my wound, and as soon as the medicine touched my wound, I gasped in pain, but this pain was nothing to me now.
