The basin of hot water fell to the ground, splashing hot water everywhere.
”My prince —” Ju Xiang and Liu Hong did not try to defend themselves as they kneeled on the ground.
The butler of the palace had followed the Prince Zhan for many years. The prince had always been indifferent and was not interested in anything, but he had always been in control of everything, so when had he ever seen the prince like this.
”Your Highness, after the wangfei fainted, she gave Ju Xiang and Liu Hong the indenture contract and let them go, but the two of them refused to leave. Every day, they would carefully wait upon the wangfei.” The steward of the manor was quite afraid of the prince's current appearance, but he still followed his heart and helped to explain.
”What is the use of this kind of servant coming here? I didn't discover Master's abnormality in time, nor did I inform you about Wan Er's situation in time. Even if you inform me sooner, I would have rushed over to meet Wan Er in time … ”One side …” The Prince Zhan grabbed Nangong Waner's hand unwillingly and sat in front of the bed. She placed Nangong Waner's hand on the side of her face and kissed him again and again.
Before she fainted, she had already told me and Ju Xiang that she was hiding things from her. She said that in front of the great and the people of the country, she wanted you to choose the righteousness of the country, and that she didn't want her matters to affect you. ”It's too bitter.” Liu Hong gritted his teeth as he spoke, his face filled with tears.
”Wan Er, she... Before Coma... what they did. ” Prince Zhan was choked with sobs, his eyes turning red from anger.
”Royal Consort … She thought of the prince and how he would cry. The wangfei calculated the time and wrote a letter in advance. Every day, she would send a servant to send one to the border. She also wanted to write a few more letters, but … ”Princess Hua-Yang couldn't write it anymore …” Liu Hong could not finish his words as he sobbed.
Prince Zhan sat at the head of Nangong Waner's bed with his back to the crowd and a tear fell onto the back of his hand.
”Why?” Prince Zhan did not finish, why couldn't he write anymore?
Liu Hong became stronger, and endured his sorrow, stabilising his emotions, he said again, ”Actually, on the day that the Duke left, the Princess's body wasn't very well, and she couldn't see anything clearly with her eyes, and she sometimes couldn't hear anything clearly, and her body was also gradually not listening to his orders. In the last few days, the Princess had completely lost control of her body, and suddenly fell asleep.”
Looking at Ju Xiang, who had been crying, how could he still have a clear mind to explain anything?
”The day I left … ”Then I won't be able to see it …” Prince Zhan thought back to what happened that day. According to Nangong Waner's personality in the past, how could he not get up to send him off, but that day, he was unwilling to do so. It was likely that he saw that something was wrong with her body.
Prince Zhan felt pain in his heart and he gently stroked his chest. He actually didn't have time to care about the sweet and fishy taste in his throat.
”Your Highness, this is the last letter written by the wangfei. I am ordered to wait until Your Highness returns before I take it to see you.” As he said that, Liu Hong gently took out a letter from a box. It was obvious that Liu Hong was very careful and paid a lot of attention to writing a letter.
Prince Zhan took the letter, but was in no hurry to open it.
”Did the wangfei leave any words for me?” Prince Zhan lowered his eyes and said hoarsely.
”Royal Consort … The Princess said … She really misses you... Wish I could... Wish I could... Wish I could marry you... ”What a pity …” Liu Hong did not finish his sentence, he raised his sleeves and covered his face as he cried.
Prince Zhan raised his face slightly, blinked his eyes, and said as if to stop his tears, ”Go down, I don't want to see you. Since the wangfei has let you go, you should leave the palace.” Prince Zhan's attitude was firm and his tone was fierce.
Ju Xiang kneeled there and wanted to beg for forgiveness, but Liu Hong and Zi Ye had advised him otherwise. The prince was still angry, but his heart was hurt, so he decided to leave the house.
Ju Xiang did not return to the Assistant Minister’s Residence. Like Liu Hong, he found a random place to stay near the Duke Palaces.
If Nangong Waner knew about this, he probably wouldn't have the heart to lie down anymore.
