The prince didn't care that there were people present: "I also told you that I can't let you leave the prince's mansion."

The soldiers standing nearby saw the prince pulling and tugging at a dirty beggar, and realized that something was unusual, so they cleared away all the onlookers.

Li Wanrong looked at the prince angrily: "Our relationship has come to an end. There is no need to stay together any longer."

"I still say the same thing. Even if we never see each other again, you can't leave the Prince's Mansion."

Li Wanrong yelled hysterically, "Do you want me to waste my life in the Prince's Mansion? For the sake of our former love, let me go."

The prince pointed at Huo Jian and said, "He is just a businessman. He can neither give you wealth nor stability. What do you want to do by following him?"

"For freedom, for the two of us to have the same values."

Until now, the prince didn't know what Li Wanrong meant by the three views, and he didn't want to know: "I can also give you freedom. I won't lock you up in the backyard of the prince's mansion anymore."

Li Wanrong felt that the prince never understood her: "The freedom I speak of is not to stay in the prince's mansion, but to see everywhere, even to visit other countries. This is something you can't give me."

After hearing this, the princess did not respond for a long time. She felt that Li Wanrong had changed, and this change should have happened after she met Huo Jian.

Thinking of the sweetness of the past, he lowered his head and saw Li Wanrong's painful expression. He slowly loosened his hand: "Are you sure you want to follow Huo Jian and live that kind of wandering life."

Li Wanrong nodded firmly: "Yes, this kind of life may be hard, but it is free and I like it very much."

"Okay, I'll let you go. When you can't make it anymore, come back to the Prince's Mansion and find me. I'll do my best to help you."

Li Wanrong cried with joy and reached out to hug the prince: "Thank you, and thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

The prince patted Li Wanrong on the back and said, "Be careful outside." Then he took out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to Li Wanrong: "This is all my private money. Take it for emergency."

This was not the first time that the prince gave Li Wanrong money. Li Wanrong did not refuse. She took the banknote and took Huo Jian away from the capital.

The prince led his men away from the city gate.

……

Chunxia ran to the yard and found He Shulan who was looking at the account book: "Princess, how come you are still in the mood to deal with the affairs of the shop in the Prince's Mansion now?"

He Shulan asked in confusion, "What happened? What big event happened in the mansion?"

"Aunt Li ran away."

He Shulan was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses: "What do you mean by run away?"

Chunxia explained anxiously: "Now the servants in the mansion are saying that Aunt Li ran away with a man outside."

"Is it the man who brought Aunt Li back last time?"

Chun Xia shook her head: "I don't know, I just know that the prince led people to look for Aunt Li in the streets and alleys of the capital."

He Shulan put down the account book in her hand. She didn't expect Li Wanrong to be so bold as to run away with another man. "What exactly is going on? Don't make a fuss about it. Bring a few servants and tie up the servants serving in Li Wanrong's yard and bring them to me. We can discuss everything after the prince comes back."

"Yes." Chunxia took action immediately and led the servants of the Prince's Mansion to Li Wanrong's courtyard. Except for a few maids who were cleaning, only Xing'er was left.

Chunxia took Xing'er and walked out.

"What are you doing?" Xing'er broke away from Chunxia.

Chunxia grabbed Xing'er's hand and said, "The princess asked you to go to her yard."

"I won't go." Xing'er panicked: "Auntie Li's escape is none of my business."

Chun Xia didn't care whether Xing Er was willing to go or not. She just followed the order of the Princess: "You can't disobey the order of the Princess."

Xing'er had been worried these days and hadn't eaten. She didn't have the energy to resist Chunxia, ​​so she could only let her be dragged away to the Princess's yard, where she stood aside, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.

He Shulan smiled faintly: "Why are you so nervous? I won't punish you. You are a servant. You can't control what the master wants to do."

Xing Er wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Thank you, Princess."

After calming Xing'er down, He Shulan asked, "Do you know when Li Wanrong left?"

"I didn't know. It was a few days later when I found out," Xing'er replied truthfully.

"How many people know that Li Wanrong escaped?"

Xing Er thought for a while and said, "At first, I was the only one who knew about it. Because the prince was looking for someone in the capital, I guess everyone in the prince's mansion knew about it."

He Shulan did not respond, but fell into deep thought. The prince should not have spread the news of Li Wanrong's escape: "You stay in my yard first, and I will let you out after the matter is dealt with."

Xing'er didn't dare to resist.

He Shulan sat in the pavilion in the garden, drinking tea and waiting for the prince. It was almost noon when the prince finally showed up.

She stepped forward to stop the prince: "Have you found the person?"

"Found them." The prince was silent for a while, then said, "Did I let them go?"

He Shulan was very surprised. She didn't expect the prince to be so generous and let Li Wanrong and the man leave. But it also made her look at him with new eyes. She didn't ask why: "How are you going to deal with this matter?"

"Li Wanrong has already left. What else can we do? Let's just leave it like this!" The prince is now physically and mentally exhausted and doesn't want to care about Li Wanrong's affairs anymore.

"If we let things develop like this, the whole capital will know that Li Wanrong ran away." He Shulan reminded: "We must find a better excuse to cover up the fact that Li Wanrong ran away with another man."

For a moment, the prince didn't know what to do: "Then tell me how to deal with this matter."

"We announced to the public that Li Wanrong died of a serious illness." He Shulan glanced at the prince: "What do you think of this reason?"

The prince thought about it and felt that this reason was very good. It not only saved his face, but also saved the face of the prince's mansion: "You are very thoughtful. I will leave this matter to you."

"Okay." After getting the prince's permission, He Shulan began to get busy and gathered the servants who had followed the prince to look for someone. "I know that everyone followed the prince to look for Li Wanrong in the streets and alleys of the capital, and they all speculated whether Li Wanrong had escaped. I am here to formally clarify that Li Wanrong did not escape, but contracted a serious disease. She was afraid of infecting the prince, so she secretly returned to her home, so everyone should not spread rumors."
