After comforting Liu Xiaomo, Ji Junhao then remembered Xiao Lingruo who had been waiting for him at the door.

He left in a hurry just now, without paying any attention to Xiao Lingruo, nor did he notice the loneliness in her eyes.

"Xiao Mo, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you later."

"No, please stay and keep me company. My stomach hurts." The injured Liu Xiaomo spoke in a coquettish tone.

Ji Junhao was a little helpless, "Then I'll stay with you for a while."

Finally, Liu Xiaomo was coaxed to sleep, and Ji Junhao had time to look for Xiao Lingruo.

After a good night's sleep, Xiao Lingruo felt a little dizzy. Before she could come to her senses, she heard Ji Junhao coming.

"Brother." She lowered her eyelids, neither happy nor angry.

"Ruo'er, I'm back." Ji Junhao thought Xiao Lingruo would be happy to see him, but he didn't expect her to look indifferent.

"I've been away from home for so many days, don't you miss me?"

"Brother, you've been away for so many days. Is there something important that needs to be done?" Her eyes were clearly black and white as she stared at him straight.

Ji Junhao touched his nose. He felt a little guilty. He couldn't say that he was pursuing Liu Xiaomo. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth, "Actually, I was pursuing Liu Xiaomo."

Seeing Xiao Lingruo's expression become depressed, Ji Junhao became anxious, "Listen to my explanation Lingruo, in fact, Liu Xiaomo is your medicine."

After listening to Ji Junhao's whole story, Xiao Lingruo was stunned.

"You mean, you let Liu Xiaomo live in the palace, and she ran away to chase her, actually for me?" She covered her chest, unable to believe it.

"Yes." Ji Junhao nodded.

"Then why didn't you take her blood for me?" After being in the mansion for so long, Ji Junhao had not made any move on Liu Xiaomo.

She showed a mocking expression, "Or maybe we could take advantage of her weakness after being shot by an arrow and drain all her blood and freeze it, then take out her heart blood and preserve it."

Ji Junhao's eyes widened when he heard what Xiao Lingruo said.

"Brother, you didn't do that, and you don't like me as much as you think. Admit it, you just can't bear to leave, and you just like Liu Xiaomo."

Tears flowed from Xiao Lingruo's eyes and her body was as thin as paper.

"Xiao Lingruo! How can you think like that? Don't you know who I like?" Ji Junhao said loudly, but he felt inexplicably guilty and flustered in his heart.

Yeah, why didn't he do that, why?

It was obvious that he wanted Lingruo and him to live long and healthy lives from the beginning.

She asked tremblingly, "Then marry me, why haven't you married me before? Aren't you attracted to me?!"

"It's not the right time yet. Wait until you get better and I find the next medicine, then..." He liked Xiao Lingruo, but didn't want to marry her now.

"Ji Junhao! You're using the same excuse again. It's not the first day you've known me. It's not going to get better. It's not that easy to get better. You just don't want to marry me."

"Enough. You've said so much, don't you just want Xiaomo to die and become your medicine? Lingruo, you have changed. When did you become so vicious?" Ji Junhao looked at her disappointedly.

She covered her chest and said, "Hahahaha, I don't care whether I can get better or not. I don't want her to be medicine. I love you, brother. For so many years, you have always avoided talking about marrying me. I would be sad too. I also have a good intention."

Tears slid down and dripped onto the ground, leaving small circles.

"Please let Liu Xiaomo go, let her leave the palace and go far away." She looked hopeful. As long as Liu Xiaomo left, Ji Junhao would not change his mind during their time together.

"Impossible, Xiao Lingruo, stop being unreasonable. Xiaomo's injury hasn't healed yet. Where do you want a weak woman like him to go?" Ji Junhao said coldly.

"Let him move out of the house, arrange for the best doctor, and let him live in the best courtyard outside..."

"Enough, Xiao Lingruo, you disappoint me so much." Ji Junhao turned away.

Whenever she cried in the past, he would feel extremely distressed. Before, he would never let her shed a single tear.

Xiao Lingruo's eyes were blank with tears still in them. She fell to the ground, buried her head in her knees, hugged herself and trembled continuously.

The moment he lowered his head, all the sadness on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely calm expression.

There is no construction without destruction, and only then will Ji Junhao be heartbroken.

The noise was so loud that Xiao Cui and A Yin outside also heard it. A Yin was nervous inside, thinking that Miss Xiao liked the prince so much, his master would be in trouble.

Recently, all the servants in the palace have discovered that there is a weird atmosphere between the prince and Miss Xiao, and the two seem to be in a cold war.

Every time I run into him, I avoid him without saying a word.

Xiao Lingruo has been staying in the courtyard recently and rarely goes out. Even when Ayin asked her to go out for a walk to relax, she refused.

But today, the retired Steward Lin came to the palace. When he was in office, this steward was highly regarded by Prince Chen.

He asked to see Xiao Lingruo, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Xiao Cui was a little puzzled. What important matter required her to leave the house and go to other places?

Arriving at a restaurant, Xiao Lingruo went to the private room on the third floor.

As soon as she entered, she was stunned, "Prince, aren't you..." dead?

The person in front of him was none other than Old Prince Chen, Ji Junhao's father, who had died of illness earlier.

"Lingruo, sit down." The old man in front of him was dignified without being angry, and his hair was slightly gray. "I know you must be very curious now, why I am not dead."

It turns out that Prince Chen pretended to die of illness in order to hide his edge. In fact, he faked his death in order to alleviate the emperor's suspicion.

Old Prince Chen fought on the battlefield for many years but received no rewards. Instead, he had to be cautious and guard against the emperor being wary of him. As time went on, Old Prince Chen began to complain. Why did he have to defend his country outside while the one sitting on the dragon throne could take it easy and even had to wait for the food and fodder to be delivered slowly?

He developed a rebellious heart, and after the war was settled, he only returned half of the tiger talisman and secretly hid the remaining half, secretly winning over court officials.

But the emperor became suspicious, and Prince Chen had no choice but to fake his death to escape.

"Lingruo, the Ji family has raised you for so long, it's time for you to contribute to my cause." He glanced sharply at the frail woman in front of him.

"What does the prince want me to do?" Xiao Lingruo asked softly.

"Marry Yin Ji, the young master of the largest family, and win him over for me. He is somewhat interested in you, you must behave well." Old Prince Chen learned from his subordinates that Yin Ji was interested in Xiao Lingruo, and if he married Xiao Lingruo to him, the family would help him.

"But I like my brother." She bit her lip.

"Then why hasn't Hao'er married you yet?" Old Prince Chen asked in confusion, "You like Hao'er, so you naturally want him to get the best. When I ascend the throne, he will be the crown prince. You also want him to become the ruler of the world, right?"

She lowered her eyes, thinking about the quarrel between her and Ji Junhao not long ago, "I'll think about it."
