"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Li Can asked outside.
Zhao Minghui listened with a smile.
Kong Wenru was a little nervous. She had never seen the prince before. According to the rules, shouldn't she go down and salute at this time?
"Follow me into the palace, my mother-in-law is looking for you." Zhao Zong replied calmly.
Li Can paused and said, "I understand. I will go there myself, so I won't bother Your Highness."
There was no response from outside.
"Are you leaving?" Li Can waited for a moment and asked Zhao Minghui.
Zhao Minghui frowned: "I didn't hear the sound of horse hooves."
Li Can was leaning towards the window curtain, intending to take a sneak peek at what was going on outside, when the curtain in front of the carriage was opened.
She was startled and subconsciously hid beside Zhao Minghui.
Zhao Zhen's face was indifferent, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his aura was overwhelming.
"There is still less homework in the Imperial College." He said calmly.
"No matter how much you have to do, you still have to take time to spend time with the people you should spend time with." Zhao Minghui looked at him and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Mr. Zhongguo is accompanying his fiancée, what are you doing with me?" Zhao Zong looked at Li Can and said, "Come down."
"I'll play with the two of them, so I won't bother Your Highness." Instead, Li Can gave way: "I will go to the palace by myself.
Since your Highness’ words have been brought to you, please come back!”
She clenched her little hands tightly. This time, she would not ask Zhao Zhen to hold it.
"There are people coming and going outside, do you have to take action?" Zhao Zhi frowned slightly.
Li Can shrank back and hugged Zhao Minghui's arm unconsciously.
Zhao Minghui's heart pounded, and he leaned forward to block Li Can.
Zhao Ye's eyes were sharp and he leaned into the carriage.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..." Kong Wenru was too frightened to raise his head and wanted to salute, but the carriage was small enough for three people to sit, but it seemed cramped for four people, and there was no place to kneel.
Zhao Ye ignored her and stretched out his hand towards Li Can: "Come here."
"I don't." Li Can hid behind Zhao Minghui and hugged him tighter.
"Your Highness, Sister Can has already said that she will go into the palace by herself without Your Highness having to worry about it." Zhao Minghui raised his eyes, and there was a rare seriousness in his smiling peach blossom eyes: "Your Highness is the prince, so he will not force others to do anything, right?"
Zhao Ye glanced at him lightly and said: "Dong Zhongguo has been engaged for some time. Depending on the situation, the fiancée chosen by the king for you will not be able to control you.
Maybe it will be better if you get married?"
Li Can was confused when he heard this. Why did he talk about Zhao Minghui's marriage?
Kong Wenru didn't think much about it. When she heard about the marriage, she lowered her head and turned red with embarrassment.
"I won't bother Your Highness with my affairs." Zhao Minghui looked a little unhappy.
He heard that Zhao Zong was threatening him.
If he continues to protect Li Can like this, he will ask him to get married immediately.
He knew that Zhao Zong could do it. He thought about it carefully later. He decided to get married so quickly, and he might not be able to escape his relationship with Zhao Zong.
Although he had no evidence, he could still imagine it.
After all, it was after Zhao Zhen went to see his father that the marriage was arranged, and the engagement took place in just a few days. This is not consistent with common sense at all.
He can't get married now. He can't marry Kong Wenru. The person he wants to marry is Li Can.
If he gets married to Kong Wenru, even if he doesn't touch her, he will feel sorry for Li Can. Li Can is the daughter of an innocent family, and he will marry her cleanly.
But he was unwilling to let Li Can go with Zhao Zong.
"My brother, don't worry about it." Zhao Ye straightened his narrow sleeves slowly.
"His Highness just wants to take you into the palace, don't be afraid." Zhao Minghui turned around and glanced at Li Can with a smile: "I'll take you there."
"Okay." Li Can immediately nodded obediently and agreed.
Zhao Gong's eyes cut through Li Can's little hand holding Zhao Minghui's arm inch by inch: "Why don't you let go?"
Li Can reluctantly let go and replied in his heart, "None of your business."
"Shou Zhen, turn around and enter the palace." Zhao Minghui ordered outside, then looked at Zhao Zong: "Why don't your highness go down and ride a horse?"
Zhao Ye said nothing, lifted his robe and sat down next to Li Can.
Li Can squeezed closer to Zhao Minghui again.
Zhao Ye pursed his lips and raised his hand to pull her over: "Sit down."
"I know it myself." Li Can broke free from his hand.
The carriage became quiet and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
Li Can lowered his eyes and pouted slightly.
The four of them remained silent until the carriage stopped.
"We're here." Zhao Minghui looked outside, then turned to look at Li Can: "Go, I'll wait for you outside."
"No, you go and play first. I don't know when I will come out yet." Li Can waved to him, then looked at Kong Wenru, who kept his head down: "Be careful on the road, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she asked Zhao Zhen to pick her up and get out of the carriage.
"What are you doing!" Li Can raised his hand and hit him.
Zhao Ye didn't say anything, but leaned over and put her on the ground.
"Go in." Zhao Minghui poked his head out of the carriage window.
"Okay." Li Can agreed and walked to the palace gate alone without caring about Zhao Ge.
Zhao Zhen followed.
Zhao Minghui watched Li Can disappear, then gave an order and the carriage drove away from the palace gate.
Li Can walked ahead for a while, his pace slowed down, and he hesitated as he looked at the two roads in front of him.
If she was near Ninghe Palace, she could still find the road, but the place inside the palace was so big that she had not memorized the road since she was a child, and now she only avoids getting lost in places she is familiar with.
She didn't know which way to go.
Zhao Zhen walked to her side and slowed down.
Li Can followed him forward.
"Is it cold?" Zhao Zhi asked her.
Li Can looked forward: "I am just an insignificant person, so I won't bother Your Highness."
Zhao Zong turned his face and did not speak again. Li Can slowed down and followed behind him.
"Your Highness, girl." Nafu stood guard at the entrance of the palace and hurriedly saluted when he saw the two of them.
"Aunt Nafu." Li Can returned the greeting.
"Girl, you're welcome." Nafu smiled and walked in: "Your Highness, girl, please come with me."
Li Can followed her into the west wing, and Zhao Zong also followed her in.
"Why did Aunt Nafu bring me here?" Li Can was puzzled: "Where is Aunt Chenfei?"
This is the place where she used to live in Ninghe Palace when she was a child. Although she has not been in the palace for many years, Concubine Chen still keeps her house.
If she had any inconvenience when entering the palace, she would come here.
"My Majesty had lunch, but before the girl came, I went to bed first, and told the slaves to wake her up when the girl came." Nafu smiled and replied: "However, my Majesty has not been sleeping well these days, and the slaves don't
I can't bear to disturb you, so I'll make my own decision. Please forgive me, girl..."
"It doesn't matter." When Li Can heard her say this, he naturally didn't care: "Is my aunt okay? How come she didn't sleep well?"
"Young lady, you can ask your Majesty yourself later." Nafu glanced at Zhao Gong with a smile, lowered his head and stepped back: "I will leave first."
She closed the door.
Li Can knew that Zhao Zong had also followed, so she didn't look back and walked to the back of the room, far away from him.
"You lied today." Zhao Zhen walked to her side and spoke calmly.
Li Can turned her little face and glanced at him, then lowered her eyes and refused to speak.
"Do you know you are wrong?" Zhao Zong sat down opposite her.
"What's wrong with me?" Li Can glared at him angrily: "Where did I lie?"
"You gave Li Zhen perjury." Zhao Xie looked at her with a calm expression.
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Can retorted: "Who reported the letter to you? I will betray her as soon as I get back today!"
"What do I want to know and need your people to report?" Zhao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Can was silent.
Zhao Ye really doesn't need it, he has plenty of ways.
"How did I teach you?" Zhao Zong looked upright and solemn: "Being upright and sitting upright is the foundation of being a human being.
If you do this to perjury, others will not know the truth and will be deceived by you. Where is Li Zhen?
What would Li Zhen think of you?"
"It's too late for Li Zhen to thank me." Li Can was dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice.
"Thank you?" Zhao Zhi raised his voice: "Have you ever thought about the day when you and her fell out and she brought it up, how would you treat her?"
"She is timid and does not cause trouble. I will not fall out with her." Li Can glanced to one side, obviously unconvinced.
"She has become Zhao Xun's, and it's not up to you whether she will fall out or not." Zhao Zong looked at her.
"If I stay away from you, Zhao Xun will naturally not target me." Li Can was angry and blurted out the words.
Zhao Xie paused for a moment and said, "You always do things without thinking."
"The He family, mother and son, killed my mother!" Li Can stared at him with red circles in his eyes: "Why don't I vent my anger on my mother?"
"What purpose does your perjury serve? Li Lainan was just scolded." Zhao Xing frowned: "Aren't they still living well?"
"I disturbed Li Xiangnan from entering Prince Qi's Mansion." Li Can said plausibly.
She has been secretly happy about this today.
"Do you think Zhao Xun really plans to marry Li Xiangnan as his concubine?" Zhao Xun frowned even more.
"It's none of my business. Anyway, if I don't follow you in the future, Zhao Xun won't target me." Li Can lowered his eyes, with a stubborn look on his face: "Not just Zhao Xun, many people will not target me."
Zhao Ye did not answer her words and raised his eyes to look at her: "I have said many times that there are differences between men and women, why are you still following Zhao Minghui out?"
