When Yan Yu heard that Xiao Qirui was injured, he also came over to take a look.

She felt a little regretful. She didn't expect Xiao Qirui to be so lucky that he could survive after falling off the horse.

However, looking at Xiao Qirui's injuries, they were almost as serious as Xiao Chengji's, or even more serious - several of Xiao Qirui's ribs were broken by the horse, and it would take a hundred days to heal the broken bones. Anyway, he would not feel well for the next three months.

After this exchange of feedback, Yan Yu finally felt much more balanced.

Xiao Chengji was shocked by Yan Yu's desire for revenge. He never expected that she would cry when something happened and even hit people in the back with a stick.

No matter what, it was always Xiao Qirui's fault. In Xiao Chengji's eyes, his princess could not be wrong, and whatever the princess did was right.

The most important thing is that everything Yan Yu did was for himself.

This fact made Xiao Chengji feel a little warm in his heart. He knew that Yan Yu liked him, he had always known it, but he didn't know that Yan Yu liked him so much.

He held Yan Yu on his lap and squeezed her soft fingers.

Yan Yu was a little sleepy these two days. The carriage was not as comfortable as usual, so she slept in the carriage to pass the time.

The happiest person is probably Zheng. Xiao Qirui is injured now and cannot do anything to her.

As the queen, she didn't have to serve Xiao Qirui all day long, so she sent her maidservants to serve Xiao Qirui.

Once you enter the palace, it feels like a deep sea. Fortunately, Zheng did not drown in the deep water. She finally stuck her head out and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Qiru's physique was also amazing. He was able to get up and walk after lying down for a day or two.

After all, he was seriously injured, his face was pale from blood loss, and he had become thinner.

At night, Xiao Qirui sat in front of the campfire, and no one paid attention to him.

When the emperor heard that he was injured, he sent a eunuch to say a few words of greeting, but nothing else was said.

The other princes didn't come to greet him either. Xiao Jiashan was already annoyed with him and didn't care whether he was dead or alive.

Xiao Jingshuo was still happy about being a father and didn't want to be involved in the bad luck here.

The other younger princes were not very good at the ways of the world, and did not have much in common with their married brothers, so they did not pay any attention to them.

Zheng didn't dare to approach him or talk to him, for fear of saying something wrong and angering Xiao Jingshuo.

She used to often hear people say that King Qin Xiao Chengji was violent and cruel, but after seeing Xiao Qiru, she felt that they were truly brothers, and they were exactly the same in their bones.

However, in the eyes of the ministers, Xiao Qirui's image is better than Xiao Chengji's, and the ministers think that Xiao Qirui has a gentle temperament.

Xiao Qirui was alone, watching the bonfire fade from light to dark, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Until he heard light footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Wanli standing not far away.

After waiting for her for so many days, she finally came.

Wanli was wearing a guard's uniform and a black hat on her head, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Xiao Qirui chuckled: "So your enemy is me. I killed your brother."

Wanli felt such unimaginable pain in her heart that she could hardly stand.

"Kill me, and avenge your brother." Xiao Qirui said, "Wanli, I am willing to die in your hands."

How could there be such a painful thing in the world? The only man I love in this life is also my biggest enemy.

Wanli knew that she was just a little orphan and the other party was a powerful prince.

A little orphan girl is going to assassinate the prince, unless she wants to sacrifice the lives of nine clans.

Wanli took two steps back.

"Except for the fake identity, everything else I said is true." Xiao Qirui said in a light voice with a bitter smile, "Wanli, I have no way out."

"The Queen Mother saw the power of the Ma family in the army and wanted to marry Miss Ma to the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Brother betrayed and abandoned the Wen family girl. The Wen family was the benefactor of the Ma Family. The Ma Family did not want to marry the Fifth Prince, so they betrothed Miss Ma to your brother, which angered the Queen Mother and led to her revenge."

"It was the Queen Mother who kept Miss Ma in the palace. The Queen Mother drugged both of our drinks that day. It was not my intention to offend Miss Ma."

"The queen was afraid that I would marry into the Ma family. She didn't want me to climb higher than the fifth prince, so she spread rumors to slander Miss Ma and forced her to death."

"Even if it wasn't me, there would be other people who were plotted by the Queen Mother to destroy Miss Ma's reputation that day. I was just their pawn."

Wanli's eyes were dry and she could no longer squeeze out a single tear.

"Since you can't bear to kill me, why don't you leave the Ma family and be with me?" Xiao Qirui stretched out his hand to her, "I will give you a home and treat you very well."

What he said was so tempting. Wanli had always wanted to have a real home since she was a child, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Just as he was about to put his hand in Xiao Qirui's palm, a cold rebuke suddenly came from behind him.

"Wanli!"

Wanli turned around and saw Ma Xiao standing not far away with a frown on his face.

Ma Xiao strode forward: "What are you doing here?"

Wanli woke up instantly.

In Ma Xiao's eyes, the seventh prince Xiao Qirui was a bastard who bullied men and women. His cousin was young and naive. Ma Xiao was afraid that Wanli would be deceived by Xiao Qirui and end up like his own sister, so he walked over without any hesitation and pulled Wanli behind him.

Xiao Qiru stood up and looked Ma Xiao in the eye, neither of them willing to give in.

Wanli turned and left.

Ma Xiao said coldly: "We have already lost a girl in the Ma family. Seventh Prince, please show mercy and spare the other one."

After saying this, Ma Xiao also left.

Ma Xiao probably knew what Wanli was thinking, but he was a man and it was not easy for him to ask her directly.

He must not tell his mother or wife after returning home and ask them to comfort Wanli - Madam Ma and the young mistress were missing the deceased Miss Ma and hated the Seventh Prince to the core. Once they knew Wanli's thoughts, Wanli would have no chance of staying in the Ma family.

She was still young, a girl who had just come of age, and did not have the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The carriage arrived in the capital in the evening of the next day. When they were about to enter the city, Wanli hesitated, touched the flute hanging at her waist, rode to the side of the princess's carriage, and raised her hand to knock.

The carriage curtain was slowly opened, and a familiar face appeared.

Wanli whispered: "Princess, I will not go to the capital. I came here to say goodbye to you."

Yan Yu was stunned.

Having fallen in love with her own enemy, Wanli was too ashamed to see the Ma family, let alone think about her own brother.

She couldn't go back to either the Ma family or her own home.

The walls of the imperial city in front stood tall and majestic in the twilight, and inside was a prosperity that many people of Wei would never be able to see in their entire lives.

"I want to leave now and travel around the world." Wanli said, "I may come back to see you one day. If not, you don't have to worry about me. I may have settled down somewhere else."

She waved her hand, and in the huge procession heading towards Beijing, she asked the horses to turn around and head in another direction.
