Chapter 253 I Want to Marry You
Chapter 253 I Want to Marry You
Yongqi stayed in Huibin Building for three full days.
I do nothing every day and just try my best to make Xiaoyanzi happy.
Xiaoyanzi wanted to die and end it all, but not only Yongqi, but also Liu Qing and Liu Hong, all tried to persuade Xiaoyanzi not to be depressed.
Even the waiters in the hotel and the people in the slum learned about Xiaoyanzi's situation and took turns to persuade her.
Whenever this happened, Yongqi would always chime in with tears in his eyes, "What if you recover completely in a few years? Then you can roam the world again. Then we can go out into the world together and punish evildoers, okay?"
At first, Xiaoyanzi was a little skeptical, because she didn't believe that the pampered Fifth Prince would give up his wealth and glory for her.
But after Yongqi talked too much, Xiaoyanzi began to waver.
The future Yongqi described to her was so beautiful that she longed for it.
In the afternoon, Yongqi was clumsily making medicine for Xiaoyanzi in the kitchen.
When he has prepared the medicine and feeds it to Xiaoyanzi himself, she will definitely drink it.
Liu Hong wanted to help, but the Fifth Prince refused to let anyone else interfere.
She was really worried that the Fifth Prince would set the kitchen on fire, so she could only stand guard by the side.
After ruining two pots of medicine, I finally managed to cook one bowl to the right temperature.
Liu Hong exhaled a breath of foul air: "Fifth Prince, let us do these things from now on."
She really felt bad about the wasted medicinal herbs.
However, Yongqi was completely focused on the joy of his success and didn't care what Liu Hong said. He just took the medicine and left.
Only Liu Hong was left lamenting as she cleaned up the kitchen which looked like it had been robbed.
"I said I don't drink."
Xiaoyanzi turned her head away, very dissatisfied with Yongqi for cooking the medicine without her consent.
Yongqi coaxed her softly, as if to a child, "Xiaoyanzi, I worked hard for half a day to make this. It didn't involve anyone else's hands at all."
Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi reluctantly looked at him and said, "You just left without saying goodbye. I thought you went back to the palace."
When talking about returning to the palace, the Fifth Prince paused. He had not returned for three days. His mother must be very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Xiaoyanzi needed him more.
Yongqi smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that I've been with you all this time and have done nothing."
Xiaoyanzi pouted, but still said nothing and did not take the medicine.
Yongqi brought the medicine to Xiaoyanzi's table and said, "I'll feed it to you, okay? Don't be afraid of the bitterness, I've also prepared candied fruit."
Xiaoyanzi was a little impatient: "I don't want to drink it. I don't want to become a medicine jar. Do you understand?"
These words completely hurt Yongqi's heart. Ever since he knew about Xiaoyanzi's physical condition, Yongqi had been suppressing his worries and fears, and forcing himself to cheer up and make Xiaoyanzi happy.
But he was still afraid in his heart. Whenever he thought about Xiaoyanzi leaving him early, he would panic. These days, he took care of Xiaoyanzi and tried his best to find things to do in order to stop himself from thinking too much.
But even so, he always couldn't fall asleep when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
He already knew when Xiaoyanzi suffered the internal injury, which was when Xiaoyanzi entered the clan residence.
It’s a pity that the situation was so chaotic at the time that everyone thought Xiaoyanzi only had superficial injuries and didn’t take it seriously, which led to the current consequences.
If you ask if Yongqi regretted it, he regretted it to death. Yongqi didn't even dare to think about how much suffering Xiaoyanzi had endured in there. If he had known this would happen, he should have risked his life to rescue Xiaoyanzi from the clan house.
Yongqi still regretted that he didn't pay more attention to Xiaoyanzi's situation. If he could stay with Xiaoyanzi more often, would he have discovered her abnormality earlier?
In short, Yongqi hated himself.
If possible, he would wish that he was the one who got hurt, got sick, and died.
Seeing Yongqi suddenly burst into tears, Xiaoyanzi was a little flustered.
"Don't cry, why are you crying?"
This was the first time Xiaoyanzi saw Yongqi cry. "I just don't want to take the medicine. I really don't want to drink it. Don't cry."
When Xiaoyanzi said this, Yongqi cried even harder. He sobbed, "Xiaoyanzi, please, take the medicine. I can't live without you."
Seeing Yongqi collapse like this, Xiaoyanzi was a little at a loss. After a long time, she took the bowl of medicine and drank it all.
"so bitter."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyanzi drank the medicine so readily. Yongqi didn't know whether to continue crying or laughing for a moment.
Hearing Xiaoyanzi's complaint, Yongqi immediately handed her the candied fruit he had prepared.
After Xiaoyanzi suppressed the bitterness in her mouth, the two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"Yongqi, I want to marry you."
Hearing Xiaoyanzi's sudden words, Yongqi was startled for a moment, then ecstatic. He gently hugged Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, you don't know, I dream of marrying you."
"But, are you still engaged to that princess?"
Xiaoyanzi has always been reluctant to face this problem, but just now, she suddenly had the idea that she must be with Yongqi, so she can no longer act like a coward.
Moreover, Xiaoyanzi also knew why Concubine Yu looked down on her. It was nothing more than a flatterer. Now that she was a county lady after all, it should be easier for her, right?
Her love with Yongqi has long transcended life and death, and no one can stop them.
If she had to choose, she still wanted to be with Yongqi forever.
Besides, now that she is in this state, maybe Concubine Yu and the Emperor will take pity on her and let her go?
Yongqi nodded. "Don't worry, I will take care of it. You don't have to worry about anything. Just focus on recuperating and wait to marry me."
There are still twenty days left before the wedding date that he and Xinrong were originally scheduled to get married. There is still time. As long as he can persuade the Emperor and his mother to cancel the engagement with Xinrong, he can take advantage of this auspicious day to marry Xiaoyanzi.
Thinking of this, Yongqi was full of energy and wanted to go back and discuss it with his mother immediately.
"You must take your medicine obediently these few days. I will go back to the palace and talk to my mother about this."
Hearing Yongqi was going back, Xiaoyanzi subconsciously clutched his sleeves, "I don't want you to leave me."
It was just like that last time. Yongqi was locked up after he left and they couldn’t see each other for a long time. Xiaoyanzi was worried that it would be the same this time.
Yong Qi comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back tomorrow. Even if it means I will disobey the Emperor, I will leave the palace. If they don't agree for us to be together, then I will not be a prince anymore."
Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi quickly spat three times: "Don't talk nonsense, I believe you."
Yongqi smiled and kissed Xiaoyanzi on the forehead to say goodbye.
It's time to go back.
In order to coax Xiaoyanzi, he has been working non-stop for the past three days and feels like he is going to become rotten. If he continues like this, Xiaoyanzi will either dislike him or he will dislike himself.
Looking at Yongqi's confident back, Xiaoyanzi felt empty inside.
For some reason, she had a very strong, very bad premonition.
"Yongqi!" Xiaoyanzi called out, wanting him to come back.
But he just turned around, smiled and waved to Xiaoyanzi, then disappeared around the corner.
