Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 699 Different

Princess Ningyang was overjoyed when she saw Li Ji appear.

She subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was pulled back by the two prime ministers around her.

"Princess beware!"

The general who defended the city received the order from the regent and hurriedly sent the order down.

"Quick! Close the city gate!"

The soldiers quickly turned the mechanism, trying to pull up the lowered city gate.

Seeing this, the people were afraid that they would be imprisoned in the city, so they ran even faster.

The crowd was turbulent, and there were inevitably pushing and falling, which led to a stampede, and there were constant cries and curses from the crowd.

The speed of the carriage was also forced to slow down.

The general disguised as a coachman asked in a low voice.

"The regent is here, what shall we do?"

Ah Qi in the car replied, "Rush out."

He knew that once Li Ji caught him, he would never be able to take Man Man away.

This is his only chance.

He must not miss it!

The general flicked his whip vigorously, forcing the horse to speed up and rushing out of the crowd.

The people in front were scared and retreated in panic, screaming everywhere.

However, the carriage did not go far, and unfortunately collided with an ox cart.

The carriage shook violently.

Under the effect of inertia, Hua Manman also hit the car wall.

Ah Qi held on to the car window to stabilize his figure with one hand, and pulled Hua Manman with the other, trying to pull her into his arms.

However, at this moment, Hua Manman's eyelashes trembled, and then slowly opened.

She felt that she had just had a long dream, and when she woke up, her mind was completely blank.

Everyone was stunned.

Until a low cry came from my ear.

"Manman, you're awake!"

Only then did Hua Manman recover from the trance.

She propped her hands on the wall of the car, sat up straight, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead that hurt from the impact, and looked at the man sitting beside her.

"Are you... Ah Qi?"

At this moment, Ah Qi's eyes are full of longing, and he can't care about anything else. .

"It's me. I thought you were dead. Fortunately, God took pity on me and sent you back to me. Man Man, from now on I will stay by your side every step of the way, and I won't let you suffer any more. Not a single bit of damage!"

While talking, he stretched out his hand and held Hua Manman's hand tightly.

Hua Manman met his deep eyes that were slightly reddened by excitement, feeling very inexplicable.

"Why am I staying with you?"

Then she looked around again, and found that she was in the carriage, and there were still shouts outside.

what is happening?

Ah Qi thought she was panicking, so he immediately calmed down with a soft voice.

"Don't be afraid, I found you in the secret room underground in the palace, and I also brought you out."

Hearing this, Hua Manman was very annoyed: "Who told you to bring me here?"

She had already made up her mind, let Sanhuamao go to the secret room to guard her body first, and when she woke up, she took Sanhuamao to find Li Ji.

Thousands of calculations were made, but Cheng Yaojin was not killed halfway.

Now she was not only separated from Sanhuamao, but she didn't even know where she was, so she was very worried.

Ah Qi said in a deep voice, "I'm protecting you!"

Hua Manman: "But I don't need your protection."

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Ah Qi held her hand tightly with great strength.

Looking at that posture, it seemed that her entire hand was about to be crushed.

Hua Manman frowned: "You hurt me!"

Ah Qi stared at her closely, and said every word.

"I promised that I would protect you. I, Ah Qi, made the oath, and I must do it!"

Hua Manman felt a little guilty when she thought of the lies she had fabricated to A Qi in order to escape.

She slowed down and explained seriously.

"Actually, I have been using you from the very beginning. The reason why I approached you deliberately to make you feel good about me is to let you help me escape Xiao Hong's clutches. I have never had any feelings for you beyond the limit. If my actions hurt you, then I apologize."

Ah Qi stared at her steadfastly, without saying a word, and unwilling to let go of his hand.

Hua Manman: "So many years have passed, and now I have my own family, and you have a brand new life, so let's go back to the dust and return to the road, and we will never have anything to do again."

Ah Qi's lips trembled, and he forcefully squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"Do not!"

He already knew the truth.

He knew that she was deceiving and using him, and he knew that he was just a tool man.

But there was still a trace of delusion in his heart.

Delusion that she can have a little bit of affection for him in her heart.

Hua Manman didn't understand: "Why are you so persistent?"

The time she spent with Ah Qi was actually not that long. Logically speaking, even if Ah Qi had a crush on her, he wouldn't be so paranoid.

Ah Qi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't say a word.

What should he say?

Born as a slave, he was never treated like a human being.

In the eyes of those upper-class people, his value is not even as good as a sheep.

Every day he has to undertake heavy work, not enough to eat and not warm, he can only sleep in the smelly sheepfold at night, and when he is unlucky, he will be severely beaten with a whip.

His life was shrouded in darkness, and he never felt warmth, let alone kindness.

Manman is the first person to show kindness to him.

Even that kindness is mixed with many calculations and uses.

But at least, that kindness really existed.

She was willing to smile at him, talk to him softly, and care about whether he was cold or hungry.

All this is like honey that he has never tasted before.

Even though he knew that there might be poison wrapped under the sugar coating, he still couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to taste it.

After a long time, Hua Manman heard him say something in a very low voice.

"No one has ever been as good as you."

Hua Manman was startled.

She felt that she was just acting on the occasion, but she didn't expect that for him, it would be considered good.

This shows how difficult his life was.

Hua Manman: "I don't know what you were like before, but now you are His Highness the Prince of Xiliang, you have a noble identity and status, there must be countless people who are willing to treat you well, and there is no shortage of me."

Ah Qi shook his head: "It's different."

Hua Manman: "What's the difference?"

Ah Qi: "You are the first."

No matter how many people treat him well in the future, they will not be able to surpass her.

Because she was the first to smile at him and treat him with an equal attitude.

Hua Manman gradually understood his thoughts a little bit.

She took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who was abandoned by her mother and endured her father's poison every day.

Her life was in a mess, and when she opened her eyes every day, everything she saw was darkness.

Until she met a light.

That light illuminated her life and allowed her to grow up and become the me you see before you. "
