Then she shook it vigorously and began to collect the bucket bit by bit. The bucket was large, and it contained a lot of water, so she gritted her teeth and put her foot on the edge of the well and leaned back. It took her a lot of effort to collect the bucket filled with water, and her hands were red from the rough rope.
After much difficulty, he managed to lift the bucket off the well. However, he didn't place it properly on the ground. It tilted to the side and fell onto the ground.
"Ya, no, no!" She threw away the rope and rushed to lift the bucket. Her shoes and pants were soaked, but not much water was left in the bucket.
"So infuriating!" She was so angry that she kicked the barrel, but there was nothing she could do. She could only continue to bend her waist to pick up the bucket.
"Let me help you." She was about to reattach the bucket when someone came up to her and took her bucket.
Princess Eleven freezes for a moment. She saw Xiao He throw the wooden bucket down and quickly fill it with water before lifting it up easily. She turned around and looked at the wet her. She sighed in her heart and said:
"Let's go back and change our shoes."
Seeing that he was carrying his own wooden bucket, Princess Eleven came back to her senses. She quickly walked over and held the bucket as she said, "Xiao He, I don't need your help, I can do it myself, but I can't ask for your help. Didn't I say that you can't listen to my father's words?
"What else?" he asked, looking at her.
"Also, look at me now. No one will care about our so-called marriage contract. You don't need to have any thoughts of being responsible, nor do I need to."
"Anything else?" He continued to look at her.
"Also, I won't like you. Don't do anything for me, and I won't appreciate your kindness."
"Didn't I already know that? You said that you have someone else you like." Xiao He said.
"So, don't worry about me …"
"Hurry up and leave. If you continue to stay here, you'll be seen by others. When that happens, even if you don't want to admit that we're related, you won't be able to handle it." As he said that, Xiao He picked up the bucket with one hand and grabbed her sleeve with the other. He then pulled her towards the direction of the Changchun Palace — "Wuwuwu ~ ~" "wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwang@@
He did not directly grab her hand, but only tugged at her sleeve.
"I'll go by myself!" Princess Eleven pulls back her hand and walks quickly.
When they had finally reached the gates of Changchun Palace, Princess Eleven hurried over and held out a hand to stop them. "That's enough, you've already carried me a long way and placed me here. I can carry you in, but I don't need anyone's help, I'm doing very well."
She was wearing the same kind of coarse clothes as the palace maids, without any accessories on her body. Her face was flushed from crying, and her hair was a little messy, but it did not affect her beauty in the slightest. From start to finish, she wore a stubborn expression on her face.
Xiao He put down the pail and took out the golden hairpin he had obtained from Imperial Physician Liang. He walked up to Princess Eleven and stuck the hairpin into her bun. Princess Eleven was stunned.
Xiao He reached out to support the golden hairpin before looking at her and saying, "Ling Yue Er, let me marry you."
When Princess Eleven heard this, she was slightly startled. Then, she stretched out her hand and pushed him away, saying, "You're crazy. I said not to say these kinds of things, and you're still going to say it."
"Ling Yue'er!" You said you had someone you liked, but he wasn't with you, was he? Let me protect you, and I will think of a way to stop you from living a miserable life! " Xiao He's voice was slightly shaky. After all, it was the Xiao family that had indirectly harmed her. Back then, the Fourth Prince and his father had been the ones to scheme against the Empress.
"I don't know about your plans, your plots, or even your schemes. I am peacefully living my life every day, and everything is what I deserve. No matter how much time passes, I will not be afraid. So, no matter who it is, don't come close to me, don't sympathize with me, and don't … "You tricked me."
With that, she struggled to lift the bucket and stepped through the gates.
"Make Yue'er …" Xiao He walked up.
"Leave, and don't come back again!" "Remember, no matter if I am rich or poor, I will never marry you." However, Princess Eleven quickly closes the door and Xiao He is locked outside.
Inside, Princess Eleven slides down the steps, her back against the door, tears running down her cheeks. She puts her head between her legs and puts her hands on her knees.
She cried silently just like that. She did not know how long she cried until her eyes were almost gone.
"Cough, cough, cough …" At this moment, the empress's cough came from inside.
"Muhou, I'm here. The medicine will be ready soon." She quickly stood up and wiped her tears away with her hand before carrying the bucket of water into the kitchen to prepare the medicine.
"Yue'er, forget it. If you forget everything, you won't feel any heartache." she said to herself as she lived.
Xiao He stood outside the door for an extremely long time, and only then did he turn around and leave after hearing the sound of Princess Eleven's footsteps as she left.
Along the way, he lowered his head and walked very slowly. His expression had never been serious before, and there was a bit of contradiction and hesitation in his heart that had never been there before. His fists under his sleeves were slowly clenched —
He had just killed someone today. If Yue'er knew who he was targeting today, she wouldn't even give him a chance to speak in her entire life.
She was pure, and he was dark.
"The Grand General of the Heavenly Treasures." At this time, a gentle voice that sounded like a nightingale came from ahead.
He lifted his head and saw Princess Thirteen, Feng Ziyao, standing in front of him. She was dressed in luxurious clothing and wore exquisite yet luxurious jewelry. A sweet smile appeared on her face.
Xiao He's gaze flickered as he clasped his hands together and nodded. "Princess."
Feng Wu Yao walked over to him and asked, "I was passing by and was just about to go to the Imperial Garden when I coincidentally met the Great General Tianbao."
Xiao He took a step back and said, "Since the princess has matters to attend to, this humble subject will not obstruct any further. This humble subject will take his leave first." With that, he turned around to leave.
"Sigh, wait." Seeing this, Feng Ziyao hurriedly took two steps forward, her face revealing a hint of urgency as she shouted.
Xiao He stopped and turned around, politely asking, "May I ask if the Princess has anything else?"
"You, can you not leave the palace?" Feng Tang Yao mustered up her courage and said these words. Her face was very red, and she looked bashful and weak. Her voice was always soft, gentle, and without any hint of aggression.
