Sister, you traveled through time too?

"Your Highness, Young Master Jiang has woken up."

Xiaoyu had just finished washing up and was eating lunch when she heard Cuiling coming over to report.

Jiang Haoyi has been dizzy for several days, it's time for him to wake up.

If he doesn’t wake up, Xiaoyu is afraid that he will become Sleeping Beauty.

It seems like Sleeping Beauty needs a kiss from the prince to wake up?

She didn't mind being a prince, but Jiang Hao was too young and she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Well, let's go and see Sleeping Beauty...Oh no, Jiang Hao."

Xiaoyu stood up and said, smiling to herself.

She took the cotton towel and wiped her hands slowly.

As soon as she entered the west wing, she smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. Xiaoyu pushed open the door, walked in and saw Jiang Hao.

He was naked from the waist up, lying weakly on the bed. Some of the wounds on his back had already scabbed over, while others were still very hideous.

Jiang Hao pursed his lips, and when he saw Xiaoyu coming in, he hurriedly pulled the quilt over himself.

The movement caused his wound to hurt, and he hissed with a distorted face.

At this moment, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into, thinking that he had embarrassed himself again.

Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing. She walked to the bedside, found a chair and sat down. She said with a teasing smile, "You little brat, are you still ashamed?"

"Why didn't you know this before?"

Jiang Hao's face turned red as he recalled the day when he thought he was dying and was lying in front of her like this.

He blushed, feeling embarrassed for no reason.

He really wanted to say that he was not a child.

His Highness is only three years older than him, but he always likes to call him a child.

Jiang Hao had just woken up this morning, and his entire body was still aching and sore.

Xiaoyu stopped laughing at him and just lifted his blanket and said seriously, "Covering up is not conducive to recovery."

Jiang Hao hummed softly, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me." Jiang Hao said, tears welling up in his eyes but never falling.

He could not imagine where he would have died if he had not come to His Highness.

Will he die on a deserted street? Or on his way to death?

He didn't know how to explain his miserable situation to His Highness, so he just kept his head down and remained silent.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu gave Cuizhi a look.

Cuizhi understood and took the servants out. Suddenly, Xiaoyu and Jiang Hao were the only ones left in the room.

"I already know about your situation." Xiaoyu said softly.

She told Jiang Hao about the cleansing and rectification of Qingshan Academy, and also told him that Suisui was safe now.

Jiang Hao nodded, but he felt mixed emotions.

His Highness is well-connected and must know about his affairs with his family.

"Yesterday, I saw your brother."

Xiaoyu just smiled and spoke casually.

When Jiang Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly became a little flustered. His brother was the best at confusing right and wrong.

For no reason, Jiang Hao was a little scared. He was afraid that His Highness would listen to his brother and that His Highness would hate him.

But he understood that he was naughty and evil, and was indeed annoying.

There are many people who hate him, but when he looks at the princess in front of him, he is afraid that she also hates him.

She was the only one who ever gave herself a chance.

He is also the only person who has said that he will never give up on him over the years.

His father, brother, and everyone in the Ningyang Marquis's mansion had given up on him.

He thought silently in his heart, what should he do if His Highness also gave up on him?

He really doesn't know anymore.

The fire in the heart and the light in the eyes slowly faded away in silence.

Xiaoyu looked at his expression, walked over, lifted his chin, and asked him to look at her carefully.

"Don't you want to guess how I did it?"

"I slapped him hard for you."

"I drew my sword and warned everyone in Ningyang Marquis's mansion not to disturb you."

"Now, at least half of the imperial city knows that you, Jiang Hao, are mine."

"Do you understand, little brat?"

Xiaoyu's eyes were firm and her tone was serious. She gently released Jiang Hao's chin and looked him in the eye.

Tears flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes. He stared at Xiaoyu in a daze, and her words echoed in his ears word by word.

All his pessimistic thoughts were shattered. He shouldn't be afraid.

I shouldn't be afraid that His Highness will be deceived by his brother's words.

For his sake, His Highness was willing to break off relations with the Ningyang Marquisate and even drew his sword for him.

The prince in front of him was of slender stature, and he could hardly imagine what it would look like if he drew his sword.

Through the seriousness and tenderness in Xiaoyu's eyes, he seemed to be able to imagine her heroic appearance at that moment.

She didn't give up.

The words "You are mine" exploded in Jiang Hao's mind.

His life was saved by Her Highness, so he should be hers.

He was willing to serve her even though he was useless.

"Your Highness saved my life. Your Highness, please allow me to serve you."

The tears in Jiang Hao's eyes rolled down gently and landed on the back of Xiaoyu's hand.

It was very hot, it was a warm tear.

"I am not good at studying and have no achievements, but if Your Highness does not mind, please keep me as your guard."

"I have learned martial arts and am quite skilled."

Jiang Hao spoke quickly, anxious to make his own value clear.

Afraid that I will be abandoned again because I am not valuable enough.

"Your Highness, I have no further connection with the Ningyang Marquisate."

"You let me live again, my life is yours."

"Your Highness, please don't abandon me."

"Don't give up on me, okay?"

Jiang Hao's tears were so hot that he held onto Xiaoyu's sleeve tightly, like a child who was afraid of being abandoned.

He has no home anymore, and he will never have a home again.

His body and mind had died the moment he left the house.

It was Her Highness who brought him back to life, and he really wanted to stay with her.

Xiaoyu gently wiped away his tears. She was rarely so serious and there was no smile on her face.

"Jiang Hao, you can't stay with me."

She just had a firm look in her eyes and spoke in a gentle tone.

Just one sentence was enough to make Jiang Hao feel hopeless.

Your Highness, you don't want him anymore and are you going to give up on him?

Jiang Hao controlled himself and didn't let his tears fall.

Yes, he is neither good at literature nor martial arts, so he is of no use at all. Your Highness does not need him.

He didn't have a stunningly beautiful face, and His Highness thought he was just a child, so he had no chance of staying in His Highness's backyard.

It's no use blaming him.

Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Hao's expression and felt melancholy.

He stopped asking and trying to get her to agree before she had finished.

Jiang Hao, a child who lacks love in his original family.

His heart is empty and powerless.

He lacked that feeling about everything.

He could give up the title without hesitation, and had no interest in power, money or anything else.

Over the years, he had become numbed by lack of love and oppression, so numb that he had lost hope and feeling for everything.

He will subconsciously think of the worst and will not have the courage to fight for it.

The dandy and rebellious appearance in daily life seems to be fake, just a shell to resist the outside world.

If others say he is useless, then he is useless.

If others suppress him, he will fall.

If others compete with him for something, he will give it to them.

If you say he is a dandy, then he will be a dandy.

He had not received support and love, and had lost his drive and determination, not to mention his strength.

The little fish just looked at him quietly, wondering how long he would struggle in the hole.

Her arrival was like a redemption for Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao's trauma needs a lot of love to repair.

What is more needed is her unwavering choice and support.

But she wanted Jiang Hao to stand up quickly, wanted the little tree to come back to life quickly, and wanted him to regain his inner strength.

She had a stern face and was very serious.

She thought she had to make Jiang Hao understand seriously that he had to stand up.

"Don't you want to know why?"

"You didn't ask me why, but you started to have wild thoughts and started to belittle yourself?"

Xiaoyu asked, his eyes sharp.

She just pinched Jiang Hao's chin and said,

"Jiang Hao, do you want to play something big?"
