The prince is very cruel

It seems like they are admiring the flowers, but in fact they are waiting for someone.

They waited until night. The imperial garden was full of colorful flowers, which looked like a grand baptism under the moonlight. The insects hidden deep under the soil crawled out one after another, chirping.

For a time traveler, this scene is like a fairyland. There is no industrial pollution, and the flowers are blooming in a unique and beautiful way, many of which have become extinct in later generations.

A graceful figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the Imperial Garden and called out softly, "Guan Ning..."

The voice was so low that if you didn't pay attention you might think it was an auditory hallucination.

Guan Ning, who was sitting on a stone bench, suddenly turned around and saw a person hiding under the pear blossoms on the treetops. He was immediately surprised and said, "My Queen!"

He walked over quickly: "Are you really here?"

"I, I happened to come here to relax, and I didn't expect to meet you." Yapin's beautiful eyes dodged, but in fact she came here every day during these days, but Guan Ning was not there.

"What a coincidence?"

"How have you been lately? Are you okay?" Guan Ning asked.

Yapin nodded: "Thanks to you, everything is fine."

"You're so polite. Let's go for a walk?" Guan Ning invited.

Concubine Ya was obviously a little nervous and scared. After all, this was the imperial garden. If others saw it, she would be in big trouble!

"How about going somewhere quieter?"

"Here, I'm afraid..."

"Okay!" Guan Ning agreed immediately.

Yapin's cheeks were burning hot. As a concubine, she really shouldn't be like this, but she just couldn't help it.

Entering the palace as a concubine was not her wish.

If Guan Ning had not appeared and those things had not happened, perhaps she could have endured the lonely death or just accepted her fate, but Guan Ning's appearance brought her heart back to life.

The two walked through a long patch of grass and came to a quieter woods where no one would come.

The cool moonlight from the sky shines through the shade of the trees, sprinkling down in tiny pieces, which is so beautiful.

"How have you been recently? Is everything alright at home?" Yapin kept a distance from him and asked with concern like an older sister.

Guan Ning stood shoulder to shoulder with him and said, "Everything is fine. I've been with Chen Tu these past few days."

Yapin looked at him, suddenly serious.

"Guan Ning, thank you for Chen Tu's matter."

"Ever since meeting you, not only has he risen rapidly in the corporate world, but his personality has also changed a lot. He's stopped playing around and often writes to me and asks people to send me delicious food."

"I finally have something to look forward to in this deep palace."

Hearing this, Guan Ning's heart inexplicably tightened. I secretly thought that in this deep palace, I finally had a hope...

The implication is that she is very unhappy here and feels like a prisoner.

That’s right, how many concubines in ancient times were happy, and how many of them were not miserable people who could not fight back?

"Hu..." He let out a breath of foul air.

"We are all one family, so we should keep our differences."

"I will find a way to get Chen Tu to come to the palace more often to accompany you, and I will come to see you more often these days."

Yapin's eyes suddenly became red, she was moved by just an ordinary sentence.

"Thank you."

Guan Ning reached out to wipe her tears, but Yapin took a step back like a frightened rabbit, dodged it, bit her lip and said, "But, but you don't have to take care of me like this. Your frequent visits to the palace will arouse suspicion."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"I am a concubine in the palace, our identities..." She hesitated to speak, feeling helpless and painful with a sense of fate.

Guan Ning frowned, feeling distressed.

"Don't worry, I'm here to see you, everything is safe."

"As for taking care of you, that's nothing. Now that the emperor wants to use me, he will give me some privileges."

"Besides, you've never hurt me in any way. If there's any harm done, it's always me who hurt you."

"If that night..."

"Stop talking." Yapin turned away.

Guan Ning opened his mouth and didn't continue, but took a step forward and then held her shoulders with his hands.

Yapin's delicate body trembled, and she tried to move away, not wanting to continue this wrong relationship.

But Guan Ning's hands held her shoulders like iron clamps and moved closer little by little.

The two looked into each other's eyes, the moonlight shining brightly, and their gaze was frozen in time.

"Don't worry, I, Guan Ning, am not an irresponsible man. I won't watch you die of old age in the deep palace."
