Xiao Yu stubbornly said, "As long as my great uncle can forgive me, everything won't be torture. If my aunt truly loves me, then she can stay here with me and knock on the door!"

The Duke's wife couldn't let him kneel for too long, so she hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

When she saw Prince Li, she knelt on the ground and said, "Prince Li, I hope you can have pity on Yu'er. Please, for the sake of the Duke's Mansion, forgive him this time. He is still young. If you teach him well, he will understand things!"

Prince Li looked at her with a complicated expression, "The Emperor allowed Xiao Yu to put pressure on Prince Li's Mansion, and you followed suit, didn't you? You know very well that the Duke's Mansion is full of loyal and brave people, and their kindness to the Xiao royal family is as great as a mountain. If you come to ask for help, I will never say no!"

A trace of shame flashed across the Duke's wife's face. She had already found out that ever since Xiao Yu was accidentally burned, the Queen had transferred all her hatred onto Lin Yiwan.

As a result, the relationship between the two became very strained.

But no matter what, she has passed away tragically!

No matter how great the dissatisfaction is, it should be dissipated completely.

She spoke anxiously, "I don't want to embarrass Prince Li, but Yu'er has realized his mistake. His small body is standing at the gate of the palace with thorns on its back. As his aunt, I feel so distressed!"

Prince Li said in a single voice, "Just because he suffered doesn't mean I should suffer the injustice. Let him go back. I have made up my mind to leave, and I will never change my mind because of anything!"

The Duke's wife wanted to beg again, but she had already been asked to leave.

A hint of uneasiness flashed across her face. If Xiao Yu did not seek forgiveness from Prince Li, he would surely be disliked by the Emperor.

This child is already so pitiful, how can he be blamed again?

As an aunt, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Since I can't ask Prince Li for help, I'll go find Lin Yiwan.

She is the most beloved daughter of King Li, so what she says must be effective.

Instead of leaving, she went straight to the back house.

Zi'er politely welcomed her into the inner courtyard, and she saw Lin Yiwan feeding medicine to the injured Zhan Qingning.

The little girl was very thin, and her face was pale.

The Duchess's wife is also a mother, so naturally she can't stand this.

She asked anxiously, "Is the injury so serious? Is his life in danger?"

Lin Yiwan said softly, "It's fine for now, but I need to rest for a while!"

The Duke's wife said with guilt, "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I will definitely make up for it when I return. Please don't mind, Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan turned to look at her. "You're here for Xiao Yu, right? He's so young, yet he knows how to apologize. He's truly impressive!"

The Duke's wife spoke obscurely, "He was simply instigated by others. I heard that the Emperor has replaced all the servants around him. He can change for the better. Madam Hou, can't you give him a chance?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and laughed, "Madam, you care about your children too, right? If someone wants to hurt them, will you do your best to protect them?"

The Duke's wife answered without hesitation: "Of course!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "That's right. You might not know that if Qing Ning hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and used her tiny body to push all my children out of the pavilion, you wouldn't be here to visit me, but to offer condolences!"

The Duke's wife tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. Now she finally understood. No wonder Lin Yiwan refused to help the Queen. It turned out that she had done such a cruel thing.

She said with guilt: "My sister was wrong, but Yu'er is also a child with a miserable life. He suffered burns. I'm afraid that he will be looked at with strange eyes for the rest of his life!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted calmly, "Madam, we here at the palace sympathize with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but we can do nothing to help him. This capital is truly a sad place, and no one can keep us here any longer!"

The Duke's wife widened her eyes in shock. She never expected Lin Yiwan to be so heartless.

However, now that things have come to this, she can no longer beg.

She said goodbye solemnly and left. Just as she arrived at the palace gate, she saw Xiao Yu asking anxiously, "Aunt, have you asked my great uncle to forgive me?"

The Duke's wife wiped the sweat from her forehead and said distressedly, "Yu'er, listen to your aunt. Stop kneeling. Let's go back to the palace first, okay?"

Xiao Yu immediately understood Prince Li's attitude. He subconsciously pushed the Duke's wife away and said, "No! I'm going to kneel until my great-uncle forgives me!"

When the Duke's wife saw that his back was covered in blood, she felt extremely distressed.

She sobbed sadly: "Yu'er, my poor aunt Yu'er, why are you doing this?"

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said nothing. He had caused a great disaster, and only this method could force Li Wangfu to compromise.

Otherwise, he would be sent to the imperial mausoleum.

It is a bitter and cold place that will torture him to death.

After kneeling for about half an hour, Xiao Yu felt dizzy and dizzy.

His throat felt like it was on fire, and he looked at the Duke's wife beside him with some sadness: "Aunt, I, I'm very thirsty, I want to drink some water!"

The Duke's wife quickly took out a water bag and fed him water, but as soon as he took a sip, he passed out.

The Duke's wife immediately shouted anxiously, "Someone, hurry up and save His Royal Highness!"

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, he saw Emperor Sheng An and the Duchess's wife surrounding him.

He curled his lips in disappointment: "Father, I fainted at the gate of the palace, and my great uncle didn't come out to see me?"

A complex expression flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face. He said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about the affairs of Prince Li's Mansion anymore. Just stay in the Prince's Palace and recuperate!"

After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Xiao Yu's pale little face was filled with fear and anxiety.

He asked nervously, "Aunt, what does father mean? Is he going to send me to the imperial mausoleum? Is he planning to abandon me?"

The Duke's wife quickly comforted him, "No, your father will not send you to the imperial mausoleum. It is the Prince Li's Mansion that has decided to move the whole family to southern Zhejiang!"

Xiao Yu was stunned. He murmured softly, "How can they leave? Father will still blame me!"

The Duke's wife lowered her voice and said, "It's just that they can't leave for the time being. Zhan Qingning is seriously injured and can't travel quickly. Take advantage of this time to smooth things over with Prince Li's palace. Perhaps they will stay again."

Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We need to ease the tension. If Aunt Wan's favorite little cat gets hurt again, they won't be able to leave, right?"

The Duke's wife turned pale with fear. She couldn't believe that these words would come out of the mouth of the three-year-old Xiao Yu.

She anxiously reminded: "Yu'er, don't let your imagination run wild. If you hurt Little Miaomiao again, you will really have a mortal enemy with the Prince Li's Mansion!"
