”Ling Yue'er!” You said you had someone you liked, but he wasn't with you, was he? Let me protect you, and I will think of a way to stop you from living a miserable life! ” Xiao He's voice was slightly shaky. After all, it was the Xiao family that had indirectly harmed her. Back then, the Fourth Prince and his father had been the ones to scheme against the Empress.

”I don't know about your plans, your plots, or even your schemes. I am peacefully living my life every day, and everything is what I deserve. No matter how much time passes, I will not be afraid. So, no matter who it is, don't come close to me, don't sympathize with me, and don't … ”You tricked me.”

With that, she struggled to lift the bucket and stepped through the gates.

”Make Yue'er …” Xiao He walked up.

”Leave, and don't come back again!” ”Remember, no matter if I am rich or poor, I will never marry you.” However, Princess Eleven quickly closes the door and Xiao He is locked outside.

Inside, Princess Eleven slides down the steps, her back against the door, tears running down her cheeks. She puts her head between her legs and puts her hands on her knees.

She cried silently just like that. She did not know how long she cried until her eyes were almost gone.

”Cough, cough, cough …” At this moment, the empress's cough came from inside.

”Muhou, I'm here. The medicine will be ready soon.” She quickly stood up and wiped her tears away with her hand before carrying the bucket of water into the kitchen to prepare the medicine.

”Yue'er, forget it. If you forget everything, you won't feel any heartache.” she said to herself as she lived.

Xiao He stood outside the door for an extremely long time, and only then did he turn around and leave after hearing the sound of Princess Eleven's footsteps as she left.

Along the way, he lowered his head and walked very slowly. His expression had never been serious before, and there was a bit of contradiction and hesitation in his heart that had never been there before. His fists under his sleeves were slowly clenched —

He had just killed someone today. If Yue'er knew who he was targeting today, she wouldn't even give him a chance to speak in her entire life.

She was pure, and he was dark.

”The Grand General of the Heavenly Treasures.” At this time, a gentle voice that sounded like a nightingale came from ahead.

He lifted his head and saw Princess Thirteen, Feng Ziyao, standing in front of him. She was dressed in luxurious clothing and wore exquisite yet luxurious jewelry. A sweet smile appeared on her face.

Xiao He's gaze flickered as he clasped his hands together and nodded. ”Princess.”

Feng Wu Yao walked over to him and asked, ”I was passing by and was just about to go to the Imperial Garden when I coincidentally met the Great General Tianbao.”

Xiao He took a step back and said, ”Since the princess has matters to attend to, this humble subject will not obstruct any further. This humble subject will take his leave first.” With that, he turned around to leave.

”Sigh, wait.” Seeing this, Feng Ziyao hurriedly took two steps forward, her face revealing a hint of urgency as she shouted.

Xiao He stopped and turned around, politely asking, ”May I ask if the Princess has anything else?”

”You, can you not leave the palace?” Feng Tang Yao mustered up her courage and said these words. Her face was very red, and she looked bashful and weak. Her voice was always soft, gentle, and without any hint of aggression.
