The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 288 Crack

After everyone left, the Fifth Prince looked at Cai Lian and asked, "Do you think I was wrong today?"

Yongqi didn't know what he wanted to ask was wrong. He just felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, which led to the current result, but he didn't understand where he went wrong.

Cai Lian lowered her head and said nothing. What could she say? No one in their right mind could say that the Fifth Prince was innocent.

The two of them were not simply wrong, but extremely wrong.

Seeing that Cailian was silent, Yongqi laughed at himself and said, "Forget it. For Xiaoyanzi's sake, let it be. I hope Xiaoyanzi won't cause trouble again in the future."

The lights in the Fifth Prince's courtyard were not turned off until the second half of the night, and Cai Lian, who had been busy all night, could finally rest.

At night, Yongqi couldn't sleep because of the pain. He struggled to get up and beat his legs.

The movement affected the wound on his back, and he gasped in pain.

Perhaps because he injured his knee while kneeling a while ago, he always felt bursts of pain in his knees, especially today after kneeling for a while in the Yangxin Palace, he had been feeling a dull pain since he came back.

The pain was so excruciating that even the pain in my legs and the pain in my back were not so noticeable.

Unfortunately, the doctor had just left. If he went to the palace to ask for help from the imperial physician at this time, the emperor would definitely think that he was dissatisfied with the punishment he received today.

Yongqi sighed, maybe his knee was injured in the past few days, so he just needed to take good care of it.

He lay down carefully and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

But the pain made him particularly energetic. Even though he was very tired today, he was still very awake.

He thought about what had happened in the past few days, about his father and mother, about Xiaoyanzi, Xinrong, and Cailian.

I don't understand how a dignified fifth prince like him has ended up like this.

Thinking of the people passing by whispering about him when he was carried back to the mansion, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

I guess a lot of people in Beijing have been making fun of him recently.

Look at my dilapidated house again.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and he seemed to be feeling a little regretful.

No sleep for one night.

Early in the morning, there were noises coming from Xiaoyanzi's yard.

The nanny specially sent by the emperor was better than Nanny Rong. Since early morning, Xiaoyanzi's wailing could be heard from her courtyard from time to time.

The problem is that these maids are upright and honest. Everything they do is to teach Xiaoyanzi how to have good manners and manners, and how to be a good princess of the Fifth Prince. They are not like Aunt Rong who deliberately tortures people.

But Xiaoyanzi was obviously not an ordinary girl. No matter what the maids said, she still did what she wanted.

So several maids took turns to attack Dafa in a nagging manner, staring at Xiaoyanzi all the time and telling her what she did wrong and what to do.

The tortured Xiaoyanzi wanted to bang her head against the wall.

Sounds always travel farther in the early morning, and Yongqi could vaguely hear Xiaoyanzi's cries.

Although he couldn't hear what they were arguing about, based on Fifth Prince's understanding of Xiaoyanzi, it couldn't be anything good.

For some reason, Yongqi suddenly thought of what Cailian said yesterday. It seemed that Xiaoyanzi had relatives in Dali. Wouldn't she be unable to bear learning the rules and run to Dali to find her relatives?

The Fifth Prince suddenly came to his senses and said, "No!"

We must not let Xiaoyanzi go looking for her relatives!

Just then, Cailian came in with hot water. Yongqi called out, "Cailian, you said yesterday that you knew if Xiaoyanzi had any other relatives, right?"

Cai Lian nodded, "Yes."

"Don't mention this again. Even if Xiaoyanzi asks you, just say you know nothing."

Cai Lian blinked, not understanding why Yongqi had such an attitude, but she nodded anyway. She had originally intended not to care about Xiaoyanzi.

Since they love each other so much, of course they want to be together forever.

Originally, Yongqi was worried that Cailian would ask him why, but when he saw that she just nodded obediently and began to wipe his face, Yongqi suddenly felt a little guilty.

Cai Lian is always like this, standing silently behind him and supporting him in everything he does.

Xiaoyanzi was under house arrest, Xinrong was too lazy to care about him, only Cailian would take care of him tirelessly.

The Fifth Prince is not blind. He can tell who cares about him the most.

Looking at Cai Lian busying around wiping his face and hands, the Fifth Prince suddenly began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to blindly pursue being with Xiaoyanzi.

It is undeniable that Xiaoyanzi is a very special woman and he loves her very much, but does Xiaoyanzi really love him that much?

He received forty more beatings for her, and even these beatings were caused by Xiaoyanzi, but Xiaoyanzi did not show any concern or sympathy for him at all.

Even when he said in front of the emperor that he would take the punishment for Xiaoyanzi, Xiaoyanzi said nothing.

This kind of little emotion does not appear when standing up for love.

But now, facing the meticulous care of another woman, Yongqi's heart began to uncontrollably compare.

Although Cai Lian remained silent, he could see her admiration for him. Although he pretended not to know, the look in her eyes as she looked at his back was so fiery, and she carefully hid it when she looked at him. How could he not know?

Yongqi knew that he loved Xiaoyanzi the most, but with Cailian as a comparison, Yongqi began to doubt whether Xiaoyanzi loved him deeply.

Could it be that in Xiaoyanzi's eyes, the injuries he suffered for her were not as important as her house arrest?

Cai Lian stayed with Yongqi every day, so she naturally noticed Yongqi's low mood, but since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She diligently acted like a little white flower who only knew how to take care of people, which actually made Yongqi like her more.

Compared to Xiaoyanzi who always needs others to coax and pamper her, Yongqi now prefers Cailian, who is gentle and always puts him first.

Yongqi didn't care about Xiaoyanzi, and Xinrong was even less likely to do so. For a moment, Xiaoyanzi fell completely into the clutches of several governesses. She had no one to turn to, and her only choice was to learn the rules obediently.

On the day Xinrong returned home, Yongqi naturally could not go back with her.

But a new problem arose. Yongqi himself could not go, so the gifts had to be prepared generously, but he was so poor that he could not even afford a decent return gift.

It was not until this moment that he realized his embarrassment.

But the things Xinrong brought were the dowry given to her by her parents. If she took them back as a return gift, people would probably laugh at her.

Xinrong was not in a hurry. She just watched Yongqi scratching his head. She knew that sooner or later, the Fifth Prince would realize his predicament and the importance of money.

If he were still the high and mighty Fifth Prince, he could naturally say openly that money is useless and act as if it were dirt.

But if he fell into the mud and it was difficult for him to maintain his daily expenses, could he still say this?

Fortunately, Concubine Yu did not let the Fifth Prince worry for too long, and finally begged the Emperor to send a return gift from the palace.
