Minglang received the news last night that Yuchi Lan was detained at the post station. After practicing martial arts today and having breakfast with the Empress Dowager, he took some gifts and boarded the carriage to the post station.

As soon as she left the palace, Liang Chongyue received the news:

"Let her be."

Minglang's token to leave the palace should have come from her mother. Seeing Minglang's unwavering favorability, Liang Chongyue tacitly allowed her to do what she wanted.

"Your Majesty, the post station delivered news this morning."

Ping An presented the secret letter, which contained all the results of the diplomatic missions from various countries doing something important in silence last night.

Liang Chongyue flipped through the book and found it as expected. If she guessed correctly, Minglang went there today to add some spice to what happened last night.

Outside the courtyard of the post station, Yuchi Lan was startled when he heard the soldiers on duty outside calling "Your Highness". While he was stunned, the gate of the courtyard opened from the outside. He pushed the door open and went out. The person who was reluctant to leave last night was standing in the courtyard, looking at him with a smile.

It is said that the royal family of Daxia has good looks. No matter whether they are princes or princesses, they are all born with outstanding looks and are unforgettable. The Queen of Daxia was even more so when she was young. Prince Bao must have perfectly inherited the beauty of the Queen of Daxia. I am jealous of her every frown and smile.

Yuchi Lan strode forward, and the officers and soldiers who arrived wanted to stop him, but were waved away by Minglang.

However, Minglang still took a step back when he approached. Yuchi Lan was originally quite pretty, but after drinking two bowls of medicine yesterday, she probably didn't sleep all night. She looked haggard and looked more than a year older.

From time to time, a bitter smell of immersion wafted off his body, which felt more bitter than his life.

Yuchi Lan noticed Prince Bao's retreat and quickly caught up with him.

"Your Highness, do you dislike me?"

Yuchi Lan had a sad look on his face, as if Minglang had played with his heart and then casually abandoned him.

However, Minglang already knew Xiaowan's thoughts. Yuchi Lan only had a simple-looking face, but his thoughts were not as simple as his face showed.

Minglang reached out and gathered his cloak. The heavy cloak became a barrier between the two of them, trying to keep Yuchi Lan out as much as possible.

Minglang's hand was already on the soft sword wrapped around her waist. If he went any further, she would not be polite.

The delegation that was supposed to send the letter back last night had already taken action. Yuchi Lan had offended her, so the annual tribute was increased to 30%. Xiaowan had raised her own good son, but she had to clean up the mess herself.

The officers and soldiers who were driven back did not go far away. Every time Yuchi Lan took a step closer, they took three steps forward, keeping a distance from His Highness. But as long as Yuchi Lan took another step forward, they could immediately punish him.

Whether Yuchi Lan was shameful as a prince of a foreign country was not something they should consider. The safety of Prince Bao was the most important thing.

The sound of armor rubbing against each other made Yuchi Lan sober up a little. He glanced at the officers and soldiers with a grim expression.

Xiaowan is not as good as Daxia, and his words carry little weight. He cannot lose Prince Bao, as this is the only ceremonial guard in his later life.

Only by capturing Prince Bao can he change his fate.

After thinking it through, Yuchi Lan stopped where he was supposed to be, not taking another step forward, with a look of guilt on his face.

"I should have gone to look for His Highness, but instead he asked His Highness to look for me. It's my fault."

Seeing that he still had some rationality in him, Minglang slowly spoke:

"Didn't you sleep well last night? You look so tired."

Minglang's face was filled with worry and concern, his heroic brows were slightly wrinkled, and the youthful majesty between his eyebrows disappeared, making it seem more like his heart and eyes were filled with only him.

Yuchi Lan didn't sleep all night last night, but he couldn't say it.

"Your Majesty cares about me and specially ordered Aunt Yunling to send me some medicine. It's very effective. I feel like I'll be completely healed after taking it for another day. Your Highness, don't worry."

Some people had already stuck their heads out from the surrounding tall buildings, carefully observing what was happening below. Minglang noticed it but didn't take it seriously.

She came here today just to sing the full set of the opera, and she was singing for this group of people to watch.

"The Queen Mother specifically ordered the famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital to prepare some medicine for you. However, no matter how effective the medicine is, you still need to take it several times to consolidate its effect. Since the beginning of spring in the capital, the late spring cold has been very severe. You must take care of yourself."

Minglang stretched out his white and tender hand from under his cloak and handed over the gift he had picked up this morning.

"I came out today without telling the Queen Mother. This is a gift I specially picked for you. Take it. When you recover from your illness, I will go and ask the Queen Mother to let you out. Don't worry."

Yuchi Lan's gaze moved down to the exquisite jade string. It was a jade string again. It seemed that the rumors were true. Prince Bao's preferences were very similar to those of the Queen of Daxia, and even their preference for jade strings was almost the same.

"But I have nothing to give Your Highness. Your Highness already gave me such a valuable gift last night. Your Majesty, please take this one back."

It’s not that Yuchi Lan had never seen any good things. On the contrary, the west was rich in minerals. He had seen minerals and jades, no matter how beautiful they were. However, he could not keep them and had to offer them to the higher authorities.

The West only has the right to mine, but cannot take it for itself.

Minglang loosened the jade twist one finger at a time until it was hanging precariously on his index finger, just about to fall to the ground.

Such a beautiful jade twist will easily crack if it falls to the ground.

"You don't want it, it's because it's not blessed. I haven't taken back what I gave away yet."

After Minglang finished speaking, he pointed his index finger downward, and the string of sapphire jade that was the same color as Yuchi Lan's eyes fell straight to the ground.

Yuchi Lan wanted to reach out to take it, but he hadn't slept all night and there was still some distance between him and Prince Bao, so he didn't catch the jade stick before it fell to the ground.

I watched helplessly as the jade twist fell to the ground, and the most beautiful sapphire on it cracked into several pieces.

Yuchi Lan quickly squatted down and picked up the jade twist, touching it again and again with great heartache.

“Such good stuff.”

Yuchi Lan felt sorry for the jade string, and when she looked at Prince Bao, her eyes were inevitably filled with condemnation, and she clearly wanted to laugh.

She threw her own things away. Why would this person feel sorry for her? Isn't it because he wants to maintain his image and doesn't want to keep them?

What are you installing now?

"I don't take back anything I give away. Since you don't want it, why are you so upset?"

Minglang looked puzzled, as if he had no idea what he was so sad about.

This thing was not his, Yuchi Lan's, in the first place. He felt so sad as if she had dropped something that belonged to him, Yuchi Lan.

He has treated her things as his own so early. Doesn't he think that the whole Daxia will soon be in his pocket, Yuchi Lan?

What a big face.

Yuchi Lan could sense that Prince Bao was a little angry, but seeing her puzzled expression, she didn't know where to start her prepared remarks.

He could explain that he just felt it was a pity to drop such a beautiful gemstone, but Prince Bao's indifference made his explanation seem too deliberate.
