"I didn't say those words to Sister Ah Yao." Li Can avoided her hand and frowned.
She glanced at Zhao Zong and saw that his face was expressionless, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Zhao Zong was still facing her just now, but now Xia Jieyao was crying so miserably, he must have felt distressed and couldn't even say anything.
"I'm just asking you, are you among the people having lunch?" Zhao Luan refused to give in and took another step forward.
Li Can pursed her lips and said nothing. When she said "yes", Zhao Luan guaranteed that she could not deny it.
But she was really wronged and she didn't want to apologize.
She had been pampered and pampered since she was a child. Even if Zhao Lu taught her harshly, he had never really wronged her. In addition, she had a soft-spoken temperament. If Zhao Luan tried to persuade her, she would probably give in.
Already.
Now, the more Zhao Luan forced her, the less she wanted to apologize to Xia Jieyao.
She was right, what should she apologize for?
"You don't dare to speak, do you?" Zhao Luan said aggressively: "No matter whether you said those words or not, you were entertaining guests in the East Palace and failed to stop those words. You are responsible and should apologize to Ah Yao."
"That's what the eldest princess said." Li Can retorted in a low voice: "If someone is killed during a banquet at the eldest princess's palace, the eldest princess should also bear the responsibility. Should the palace official of the imperial capital arrest her?"
Isn't this unreasonable? Zhao Luan couldn't do anything to Zhao Yinhuan, and he didn't dare to offend Liu Zhenlian, who was the most popular person in the family, so he had no choice but to bully her.
A eldest princess, at such an old age, is still acting like a child.
Zhao Luan sneered and looked at Zhao Xie: "This is what you taught me. Do you care about it?"
"Seventh Emperor's Aunt, Li Can has already said that those words did not come from her." Zhao Ji frowned.
"So what? Isn't she there?" Zhao Luan was very angry: "What's the use of protecting her like this? She's just a white-eyed wolf.
Ah Yao had exchanged her life with one of his own hands, but she would rather see Ah Yao so sad than go forward and say a word of apology.
Do you still protect this kind of person?"
She pointed her finger at Li Can and spoke fiercely.
Zhao Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Li Can.
Li Can also raised his face to look at him.
"Think about it for yourself." Zhao Zhi whispered.
Li Can's eyes were red, and she walked out from behind him, walked slowly to Xia Jieyao, and said in a tearful voice: "Sister Ayao, don't be sad, it was my fault, I should have stopped those words.
I will make amends to you."
As she spoke, she gave Xia Jieyao a deep blessing.
She was not wrong, but she couldn't be a white-eyed wolf. It was okay to apologize to her savior. She comforted herself in her heart and tried hard to hold back her tears.
Zhao Zong looked at her from behind, his eyes were deep and imposing.
Xia Jieyao was still crying, and she didn't know if she heard Li Can's apology.
"Apologies should also be sincere." Zhao Luan stepped forward and scolded: "Louder."
Li Can had never suffered such grievances. He couldn't help but burst into tears as he stood there. Zhao Luan just didn't like her and bullied her because of his status as the eldest princess. Zhao Ji just watched and didn't help.
she.
"Sister Can, why are you crying..." Xia Jieyao raised her head, as if she just realized that Li Can was standing in front of her, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like walnuts.
When Li Can saw her standing up, tears rolled down her face uncontrollably. She raised her hand to wipe them away and sobbed quietly without speaking.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to you..." Xia Jieyao looked distressed and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister Can, please stop crying. It's all my fault."
As she spoke, she turned to explain to Zhao Luan: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Sister Can. Sister Can did not mention it. Sister Can never said a word."
"If it wasn't her, she wouldn't be able to get away with it." Zhao Luan snorted coldly.
Zhao Ye stepped forward and pulled Li Can over: "The matter has been explained clearly.
Don’t be lazy and see your guests off.”
He just said that and took Li Can away without looking back.
"Ze Yu, if you indulge her like this, you will get into big trouble sooner or later." Zhao Luan was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude and spoke rudely to his back.
"Mother." Xia Jieyao hurriedly pulled her, with a worried look on her face: "Didn't you say you came to look for the Ninth Princess? Why did you talk about Sister Can's arrival? Now, Sister Can will probably resent me..."
"She dares." Princess Zhao Luan showed her aura: "However, it is better for such unruly people to have less contact with each other in the future."
"Sister Can, she is just a bit childish, but she is actually still..." Xia Jieyao hesitated to explain to Li Can.
"You!" Zhao Luan patted her hand: "You are just too soft-hearted and innocent, and you don't understand my good intentions."
Xia Jieyao lowered his head.
Zhao Luan led her back to the carriage and said earnestly: "Your appearance, conduct, and rules are all top-notch in our Dayuan. Are you willing to die in my house like this?"
Xia Jieyao was leaning against her, but when she heard the words, she raised her head and said with a serious face: "Mother, this is what Ayao planned. Ayao will accompany his mother until she grows old, serve the two elders in place of brother Zhongyong, and do his best in front of you.
filial piety."
"Silly boy." Zhao Luan patted her hand, with a look of kindness on his usually serious face: "You are still so young. From now on, your father and I will go there, and you will be left alone with no one to take care of you. We
I’m not worried either.”
"Then Ah Yao will go with his father and mother." Xia Jie Yao snuggled into her arms, her tone serious and coquettish as a daughter towards her mother.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Luan patted her again: "I've seen it too, you don't like those ordinary men at all.
Besides, you are my daughter now, and I can't find an ordinary one for you.
I think the position of Crown Princess is quite suitable for you."
"Mother, no!" Xia Jieyao raised his head suddenly, with a look of sincerity and fear on his face: "Don't tell me that Ayao has sworn never to marry, and that he will stay with his father and mother for the rest of his life.
Even if he gets married, Ah Yao will not marry to the East Palace. How can Ah Yao be worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Let’s talk about Sister Can. She grew up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They are childhood sweethearts and they are a perfect match.”
Zhao Luan snorted coldly: "Then Li Can will cry when something happens. Do you think she looks like a princess?"
"That's because Sister Can is still young and she can just wait a few years." Xia Jieyao said hurriedly: "Sister Can is really good, mother, don't misunderstand her..."
"She is indeed a trouble." Zhao Luan raised his chin and said: "Even if she can't become the crown princess, considering the affection he has had for so many years, Ze Yu will at least give her the position of concubine, and she will be yours from now on.
Rival, you can no longer take your heart out to her."
"Mother, I won't agree..." Xia Jieyao choked and was about to cry again.
"Stop crying, haven't you cried enough today?" Zhao Luan took out the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Let's not talk about it for now. Go back and have a rest, and put a good compress on these two eyes..."
＊
Zhao Zong walked very fast. He had long legs. Li Can took two steps to keep up with him if he took one step. She was almost trotting.
"I'm not leaving!"
She forcefully shook off Zhao Zong's hand and stood still. She felt aggrieved, and she became even more angry when she asked him to pull her away quickly.
If you didn't speak for her just now, what's the use of dragging her away so fast now!
"What are you upset about?" Zhao Zhen turned to look at her.
"I'm annoyed with you!" Li Can pursed her lips and glared at him.
Under the moonlight, her little face was gleaming white, and her eyes were round and round, like a kitten that had been annoyed by others, but it was so angry that it could give someone a paw at any time.
