It was three days later that Bai Zhaoyi woke up again. She was awakened by raw pain. Her internal organs seemed to have been displaced. She moved her arms.

"Hiss..." Bai Zhaoyi frowned and didn't dare to move anymore. Sandalwood and the other maidservants with angry faces heard the noise and hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in. They saw Bai Zhaoyi lying on the bed with a pale face and slight beads of sweat on his forehead. Sandalwood Come forward immediately.

"Miss, please don't move. The imperial doctor said that you were injured internally and need to be taken care of." Tanxiang Zhuli knelt in front of her bed. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she could tell she had cried. There was remorse on her face.

"Miss Bai, you're awake. I'm going to tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." The maid in a light yellow dress leaned over to salute and then hurriedly left.

"Okay, I don't blame you. Stop crying. Look, I'm fine." Bai Zhaoyi comforted her softly. If you ignored the beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead, you would be more convinced.

Sandalwood couldn't help but her eyes were red and she shed tears again. Zhuli also looked at her with distress. She was almost scared to death when she saw the young lady lying on the bed in the past three days. If the fire was so big, if the young lady couldn't come out...

Bai Zhaoyi looked at their hearts softening and said helplessly: "Good Sandalwood, if you keep crying, I'm afraid this princess mansion will be flooded by you."

Sandalwood then broke down into a smile, her face turned slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed to be teased by her own lady.

Bai Zhaoyi looked around. The room was luxuriously furnished, with floor-to-ceiling hoods, lilac-purple green gauze curtains, a bronze mirror dressing table placed on the long table, and light smoke rising from the four-cornered copper beast stove. Love the scent of crabapple flowers.

There is also an ice furnace in the distance, so the heat in the house will not be unbearable in summer.

The princess's mansion is truly exquisite in every aspect.

There were footsteps in the courtyard, and Bai Zhaoyi turned his head to look in the direction of the door. The eldest princess was wearing a lavender dress, with a bun in her black hair. When she walked around, the bun looked very beautiful under the sunlight, with a smile in her eyes. A gentle smile came over slowly.

"My maid pays homage to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Bai Zhaoyi struggled to get up, but Aunt You, who was beside the eldest princess, hurried over to interrupt her from getting up.

The eldest princess sat beside the bed and reached out to pat Bai Zhaoyi's hand that was placed beside the bed and said: "Don't be too polite. You were injured while trying to save me. The doctor ordered that you need to rest for a few days. You will stay here for the next few days." You are here to accompany me at the Princess Mansion, okay?"

Bai Zhaoyi blinked and didn't expect the eldest princess to be such a gentle person, so he smiled in agreement.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the eldest princess couldn't help but look a little gentler. If her daughter had survived, she would probably be about the same age as her...

The eldest princess looked gloomy. That child was her heartache and she had not been able to let go of it for so many years.

Bai Zhaoyi looked at the eldest princess's suddenly lonely expression and guessed that she must have thought of the child, so she quickly asked in a low voice: "Did the princess have any health problems due to the fire that day?"

The eldest princess couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Bai Zhaoyi's concern: "I am fine. Fortunately, you saved me. How could you be alone in Jing'an Temple?"

The eldest princess looked at the girl in front of her, who was no more than 13 years old and had clear features, and spoke in confusion.

"Your Highness, my grandmother is having a birthday banquet. I will go to Jing'an Temple to pray for my grandmother and stay for a while." Bai Zhaoyi replied.

The eldest princess's eyes flashed. She knew something about the things in the mansion even without asking. Although her mother had protected her very well since she was a child in the palace, she had seen a lot of scandalous things.

The eldest princess gently held the hand of the girl in front of her and spoke again: "You saved my life, but if you have anything you want, it doesn't matter."

Bai Zhaoyi looked at the eldest princess with his clear eyes and suddenly tilted his head and said briskly: "Princess, I do have something to ask for. I want to ask the princess to allow me to marry freely without interference from my family."

The eldest princess looked at the woman in front of her with curiosity in her eyes: "Why?"

Bai Zhaoyi sighed lightly and said with red eyes: "My daughter is a concubine of the prime minister's house. If she gets married one day, she will definitely marry a high family as a concubine. My mother has passed away during the New Year. Before she died, my aunt only wanted her to be a concubine." When you marry an ordinary person, you don't seek glory and wealth but a stable life. I think so too, but I can't make the final decision on marriage matters, so I boldly ask for the princess's grace."

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would say such words, and then she couldn't help but feel sore when she saw the redness in her eyes. If her daughter was still alive, she would definitely hope that she would be safe and healthy.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

The eldest princess's face was filled with emotion, and she reached out and touched Bai Zhaoyi's cheek. Aunt You's eyes turned red when she saw the eldest princess's appearance.

The princess has suffered so much these years.

The eldest princess choked with sobs and said: "I promise you that I will ask the emperor for this grace for you. I also hope that Miss Bai San can marry the person of your choice."

Bai Zhaoyi was overjoyed and quickly bowed his head to thank him, his voice slightly excited: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness. It would be great if the princess would not give up and call me Ah Zhao."

The eldest princess is indeed very fond of the girl in front of her, she is well-behaved and gentle.

"Okay, I will call you Azhao from now on. You don't want to call me eldest princess. From now on, just call me Aunt Nan. You stay here and I will send someone to inform you at home." , Ah Zhao will be well taken care of here."

"Yes, Aunt Nan."

Bai Zhaoyi responded warmly.

The eldest princess's name was Xiao Jianan. After saying this, she gave a few instructions so as not to disturb Bai Zhaoyi's rest, and left with Aunt You.

It was rare for Bai Zhaoyi to show happiness. With this grace, Mrs. Chen would no longer have the illusion of being able to interfere in her marriage, and she would no longer have to marry Xiao Yan without any name or status.

Tanxiang saw that her young lady was rarely happy, and after hurriedly feeding her a bowl of porridge, Bai Zhaoyi fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the room was completely dark. Only two candles lit in the distance could be seen in the room. It was already dark.

Just as he was about to call someone, a hand suddenly swallowed back what Bai Zhaoyi meant. Bai Zhaoyi looked at the owner of the hand with a tense look in his eyes.

The visitor was wearing black night clothes, but his face was not covered. Bai Zhaoyi used the light to see clearly the true face of the visitor.

It was none other than Prince Rong An, the young master of the Jiang family who had accepted her money three days ago. Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Bai Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly.

Patting Jiang Que's arm to signal him to move his hand, Jiang Que chuckled and whispered in her ear: "Then you are not allowed to call anyone, otherwise my honor will be at stake."

Bai Zhaoyi felt speechless for the first time after his rebirth. He rolled his eyes and nodded heavily, with "Don't worry" written all over his eyes.

Only then did Jiang Que feel relieved and let go of his hand. He saw Bai Zhaoyi trying to sit up and gave him a slight hand. Bai Zhaoyi stiffened. A man and a woman were alone in the same room and still had physical contact...

Randomly thinking of what Jiang Que said just now, all grudges disappeared in his heart. The prince's "fame" was much more valuable than hers, and he didn't have anything to fear.

Letting Jiang Que lift him up and lean against the bed, Bai Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Que, whom she defined as a "dangerous person", and said casually: "The prince is not at home to guard his honor. There is someone who came to my room late at night. What's the point?"
