She wrapped herself in the quilt and waited obediently for the person to come back. After about a cup of tea, Xiao Su came back.

The kerosene lamp in the room was half burned. He looked up, then quickly looked away, turned around and closed the door. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep..." Cui Yingying blinked and said in a muffled voice.

Xiao Su put down the charcoal basin and still chose to turn his back to her.

"What do you want me to do to fall asleep?" The man's voice was full of compromise.

Cui Yingying shook her head in distress, feeling as if her little thoughts were not presentable.

If she is still a princess, she could just say it directly. If not, why don't they just go their separate ways?

But now her father has committed treason, and in front of Xiao Su, the crown prince, a huge sense of shame surged in her heart.

"Good night, Your Highness..." She was silent for a long time, then crawled into the quilt and covered herself tightly.

After the man lay down, Xiao Su turned his head back, his brows furrowed, with a lot on his mind.

Cui Yingying was a person who could not hide her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. How could he not notice such an obvious change?

At noon the next day, the two finally rushed back to the small house. Han Liang and Liang Heng rushed over first, caught Cui Yingying and checked her up and down.

I breathed a sigh of relief only after I was sure she was not injured.

"Second brother, I'm a little tired... I want to rest." Cui Yingying tried hard to force a smile and looked at Liang Heng eagerly.

She was in no mood to think about anything else now. Apart from saving her own life, she had to think of a win-win solution to protect her life and A Yuan's life.

The two men were careless and didn't notice anything wrong. They escorted her back to the house, one in front and one behind.

Xiao Dai slid to his brother's side, and seeing that he looked troubled, he roughly guessed what was going on. "What are you going to do next?"

"Things got tricky after that girl found out."

"Royal brother... do you think she doesn't believe me?" Snow began to fall again. Xiao Dai felt worried when he heard his brother's calm yet frustrated tone.

After this incident, Cui Shaoyuan's identity could no longer be concealed.

Once the news reaches my father's ears, I'm afraid the brother and sister will be in great danger.

"Royal brother will find a way for you." Xiao Dai patted his shoulder heavily and promised.

Xiao Su's face was ashen, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He stood at the door of the house for a long time, but finally did not go in to disturb her. Instead, he returned to Ruan Mansion alone.

After Cui Yingying entered the house, she never came out again, and several people realized something was wrong.

When Liang Heng and Han Liang pushed open the door in a hurry, they heard sobbing sounds coming from under the quilt.

Cui Yingying, who was dug out, had red eyes from crying. She looked at the two of them with tearful eyes and burst into tears, "Second... Second Brother, what should I do?"

As soon as she said this, the two of them immediately understood.

Liang Heng hurriedly wiped her tears, "Yingying, don't cry, second brother will find a way for you, okay?"

"Second brother, I like him...but there's nothing I can do. My father has committed treason. There's nothing I can do." It was the first time she loved someone, the first time someone was willing to risk his life for her, and yet she was heartbroken before it even started.

"Yuan hasn't grown up yet..."

She didn't want to give her brother to anyone.

Han Liang had a complicated expression, and said seriously: "Brother will take you away from Da Chu, and you can go anywhere. No one can take Yuan away from you. Brother has savings, and Brother can support you."

"When you grow up, I will find you a good husband."
