Twitching her lips in embarrassment, Hua Xuanji felt that the talkative prince was not very cute.
Hua Xuanji scratched her hair in annoyance. She didn't expect to be caught the first time she used force. After thinking about it, she pretended to be calm and explained:
"My father is a martial arts student, so he is influenced by what he hears and what he sees."
Pointing to the person on the ground, he turned around quickly and urged: "Prince, change quickly. It will be bad when he wakes up later."
"Yes." The prince responded softly and quickly changed his clothes.
The two of them jumped out quickly and quietly along the window.
Hua Xuanji vigilantly checked the back wall, and when she confirmed that no one was there, she jumped to the top of the wall, looked down at the prince below, and whispered: "Can you do it?"
The prince remained silent, his black and white eyes narrowed, and before Hua Xuanji could react, he fell outside the wall.
Hua Xuanji opened her mouth in disbelief, as if she had swallowed a fly. She stopped on the wall and forgot about it, saying incoherently: "You, you can actually do martial arts."
"Of course." The prince replied matter-of-factly.
"Then, why didn't you stop the assassination?" Hua Xuanji pursed her lips somewhat warmly and raised her injured arm, which was healed but still slightly painful.
"You come down first." The prince urged uneasily, "It will be bad if others see you."
Fortunately, it was noon at this time and it was summer. Almost everyone had gone to enjoy the cool weather, so no one was seen.
Only then did Hua Xuanji realize that she was still on the wall, and she quickly stood up and prepared to jump down. However, her foot slipped and she fell towards the wall.
Not daring to shout loudly, Hua Xuanji closed her eyes helplessly. Suddenly, she forgot all the Qinggong skills Bai Yan had taught her, and could only let her body fall downwards.
However, the moment she closed her eyes, Hua Xuanji felt that she had fallen into a warm embrace.
Opening his eyes carefully, he saw the prince's ink-like eyes staring at him for a moment. Under the high bridge of his nose, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his cheeks as white as gelatin looked unexpectedly...
It was slightly red, and his breathing was a little rapid, with a little bit of dragon's fragrance, slowly spreading into the nasal cavity. The boy's clothes were a little too small, and his perfect figure was accurately outlined, with a few loose strands of hair hanging down.
It hit Hua Xuanji's face and stung her so much that Hua Xuanji couldn't help but sneeze loudly at the wrong time.
The prince quickly let go of the hand holding Hua Xuanji, and ran like a child in the sunshine, raising his head high, spreading his arms, and breathing in the fresh air.
Hua Xuanji was also infected by the pleasant atmosphere, and the two of them ran wildly on the street regardless of everyone's weirdness and pointing eyes.
The face that resembled Ye Hua showed a satisfied smile, and the two of them ran all the way to the cool west without any sense of direction.
It was summer at this time, and the golden sunshine hit the lake randomly, shining with dazzling light. Large expanses of peonies and daisies dotted the grass beside the stream, full of life.
The prince suddenly stopped, took a deep breath in place, put his hands in the shape of a trumpet to his mouth, and shouted: "I finally came out."
Hua Xuanji also shouted along with him, lying flat on the grass and watching the white clouds floating in the sky. She felt lighter than ever at this moment, and the worries of Bai Yan and Yehua were forgotten in an instant.
From the first day I came to this era, what awaited me every day was infinite pressure, infinite fear, and infinite conspiracies. Everyone seemed to be harboring evil intentions, smiling on the surface, but always stabbing me in the back.
When the prince was tired from running, he imitated him and lay beside her. Hua Xuanji picked a piece of grass and bit it in her mouth. The aroma of the grass spread in her mouth. Hua Xuanji curled her lips and closed her mouth in satisfaction.
Eyes closed.
"The world outside is so beautiful." Those black and white eyes reflected the blue sky, and the prince looked at everything in front of him with longing.
The prince let out a long breath and turned his head to look at Hua Xuanji's face wearing a human skin mask: "Actually, I envy my second brother very much."
Second brother, Hua Xuanji's closed eyes suddenly opened and she looked at the prince in disbelief. Second brother, isn't that Yehua? What is there to envy him?
As if he noticed her doubts, the prince sighed heavily.
"Because he doesn't have to worry all the time about being assassinated in the next second. Because he can move around freely without being affected by anyone. Even if he is ostracized by the world, he should be happy."
Excluded? Hua Xuanji suddenly remembered the reactions of those maids, looked at the two similar faces, and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you the same mother? Why is he being excluded, and you..."
I have only heard that mothers and concubines will be ostracized if they are not favored. However, these two people are obviously the same mother. How can they be geographically different, one in heaven and one on earth?
"Aren't you from here?" The prince said as he sat up, holding his chin and looking directly at Hua Xuanji.
"Well, I got here later." Hua Xuanji explained quickly.
"I see." The prince suddenly understood and explained to Hua Xuanji, "In our country, there is an unknown rule. Among twins, the one born first is lucky and has the qualification to be the emperor. However, the one born later is the
Disaster, the only choice is death."
Looking at Hua Xuanji's suddenly enlarged eyes, the prince shook his head helplessly, "Later, my queen mother couldn't bear it and kept him here."
The doubts in her heart were solved at this moment, but Hua Xuanji felt that what she got at this time was not the joy of knowing the truth. Instead, there was a heavy breath pressing on her heart, and she couldn't let it out no matter what.
Perhaps because he had been holding it in for a long time, the prince seemed to be opened to chatter, and continued to chatter endlessly.
"Since he was a child, he has not been embraced by his relatives. My father never let me play with him. All the maids and eunuchs also avoided him." The corners of his thin lips slowly raised, as if he was smiling self-deprecatingly.
"I know he hates me. But how could he know that I also envy him."
A bitter smile appeared on the prince's lips, recalling his reaction when she called out those words about the child in Wanyao Courtyard. Suddenly, she felt a little sorry for him.
Just as he was talking, the prince suddenly seemed to remember something, took out an jade sign from his arms, and threw it to the ground.
