"I... I will go into the palace to ask for your Majesty's decree without your instruction..." Li Can's obsidian eyes were wet, and the ends of his eyes were red, like a frightened kitten, and he took several steps back.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Minghui hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bravely took half a step forward, protecting Li Can behind him, and said with a smile: "If you ask me, since Sister Can..."
"Classes at the Imperial College started on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, but you never went to report in person." Zhao Hao glanced at him lightly, and in a clear voice, he said slowly: "You will miss one day of class on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Okay, I won't stop you anymore." Zhao Minghui stepped aside and looked at Li Can sympathetically, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He understood what Zhao Zong meant. If he didn't get out of the way, he would tell his father, King Zhen, about his absence from class.
Although his father is the only old man like him, he is not pampering. Instead, he is very strict and always wants to be taken care of by the family. Therefore, he does not dare to make trouble in front of his old man.
"Cancan, otherwise you should go back with Brother Six..." Zhao Yinhuan persuaded in a low voice.
Her sixth brother, who is the crown prince, has always been indifferent to emotions and anger, and is decisive and merciless in killing. Because she took Li Can around and played around, I don't know how many people who called her sixth brother were tied to the queen mother, but
He was beaten and disciplined frequently.
She was most afraid of Sixth Brother. If she hadn't been worried about Li Can, she would have run away by now.
"You've already taken care of others, so why bother me?" Li Can's eyes were a little redder, and he huddled in the corner without retreating, with tears in his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Zhao Ye said nothing and only stretched out his hand to catch her.
"I told you I won't go with you." Li Can closed his eyes tightly and slapped him randomly, but he grabbed both his wrists.
"Let me go!" She struggled with all her strength.
But she was born weak, with little strength and no confidence. Zhao Gao had practiced martial arts since childhood and was tall. Her little strength in front of Zhao Gao was like a mayfly shaking a tree.
No matter how hard she tried, Zhao Ji did not move at all, only looking at her with lowered eyes.
Li Can had never dared to resist Zhao Hao like this. Seeing that he could not escape, he was so scared that he was scared to death. His red eyes were like an angry little white rabbit, and he opened his mouth and bit the back of Zhao Hao's right hand.
Zhao Ye remained motionless, only slightly raising his chin, as if he was not the one who was bitten.
Li Can tasted the smell of blood and let go of him in shock, his palm-sized face full of panic.
Zhao Zong's face was expressionless, and he took off his cloak with one hand to cover her, and leaned over to hold her on his shoulders.
He turned around, and Zhao Minghui and Zhao Yinhuan both gave way. They both looked at the ring of tooth marks on the back of his hand, with bright red blood oozing out, which was very conspicuous on the cold white back of the hand.
Both of them were afraid of being offended and did not dare to take a breath.
Zhao Ye walked up to Zhao Minghui, stopped and turned to him.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Zhao Minghui asked bravely.
It's not that he wanted to ask, it was just that he couldn't escape from this battle, so he might as well take the initiative to speak first.
"Bring it here." Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand towards him.
"Take? What to bring..." Zhao Minghui pretended not to know.
Zhao Ye frowned slightly, pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes were cold, with a hint of impatience in his indifference.
Zhao Minghui had no choice but to take out the chi-shou jade belt hook and put it reluctantly in his palm.
Zhao Gao held the jade belt hook, carried Li Can on his shoulders, and turned around to go outside.
Li Can's head was down, lying on his shoulder. He was so wrapped up in the crane cloak that he could hardly move. The only loose legs were still held by Zhao Zhi, so he could hardly move at all.
She struggled for a moment, then felt tightness in her chest and dizziness: "Let me go, I feel uncomfortable..."
Zhao Ye slid her off his shoulders, held her in front of him, and stepped up his pace.
Li Can raised his hand to the side of his face, held up the crane cloak, and breathed lightly.
Zhao Ye carried her into the carriage, placed her on one side, lifted her robe and sat down.
Li Can pushed away the crane cloak on his body and sat leaning on it with a white face, his long curly eyelashes covering his obsidian eyes, looking listless.
She didn't speak, and Zhao Zhen wouldn't take the initiative to speak. The two of them were silent for the whole time.
As the carriage entered the East Palace, Guangdang Tanggao hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Can get out of the carriage.
"Follow me." Zhao Zhi said lightly, turned around and headed towards the inner hall.
Li Can looked at his back, feeling aggrieved and frightened. He stopped holding the hands of the two maids, covering his chest with his slender white hands, and frowning.
"Is the girl feeling uncomfortable?" Tang Cake was worried when he saw this.
The girl ate too many desserts today, which would have made her feel uncomfortable. Your Highness is like this again.
The girl never gets angry, especially after using something. If she gets angry, she will vomit.
Li Can felt his stomach churn, and he was so uncomfortable that he could not speak. He waved his hands and took two steps forward. After all, he couldn't help but squat down and vomited.
"The girl vomited!" Guangdang was anxious and distressed, and shouted towards Zhao Zhen's back.
Tang Cake hurriedly stroked Li Can's back to calm her down.
The group of maids in the back were all shocked, fearing that Candy's shouting would annoy His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhao Ye stopped and turned around.
Li Can squatted there, vomiting with tears streaming down his face. Those snacks were sweet when he ate them, but when he vomited them out, his mouth was full of sourness.
"Water!" Candy supported Li Can and turned around to order.
The two maids responsible for carrying water hurriedly brought up a cup of water.
"Girl, come and rinse your mouth." Guangdang carefully put the water cup of Fentang Flower Glaze to Li Can's lips.
Li Can rinsed his mouth with her hand and felt better in his stomach.
"Your Highness, would you like to help the girl?" Wu Zao, the attendant, couldn't bear to look at her and persuaded her in a low voice.
Zhao Ye glanced sideways at him.
Wu Zao was so frightened that he lowered his head: "You are too talkative."
"Can we still leave?" Zhao Zong looked at Li Can again and asked quietly.
Li Can slowly stood up, took the handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped his lips, raised his black and white eyes to look at him, turned his eyes away, and pursed his lips in silence.
Zhao Zhen didn't say much, stepped forward and picked her up, striding towards the inner hall.
Outside the inner hall is the garden of the East Palace.
Zhou Xianru was holding an exquisite camphorwood copper-wrapped corner-carved food box in his hand, followed by two personal maids, standing by a tall Daphne tree.
This season, daphne has already bloomed, and there are faint waves of fragrance in the air.
She poked half of her head out and saw Zhao Hao holding Li Can in his arms and striding into the inner hall.
"Girl, let's go in too?" the maid Ji Xiang said softly.
Zhou Xianru looked back and glared at her fiercely. Her delicate knuckles holding the handle of the food box turned pale.
Why does His Highness the Crown Prince treat Li Can so favorably?
It’s just a sick child! If she really takes over the position of Crown Princess of the East Palace, I’m afraid she won’t even be able to give birth to a legitimate son!
"His Highness has told me that girls are not allowed to enter the inner hall at will. Are you going to make her reprimanded by His Highness like Miss Li?" The maidservant Ruyi glanced reproachfully at Ji Xiang. She is much more steady and considerate than Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang shrank his neck in fear and did not dare to say anything.
After hearing these words, Zhou Xianru felt a little more at ease. Almost everyone in the imperial capital knew how harsh Zhao Ge was towards Li Can. From this, it can be inferred that Zhao Ge had no intention of caring about Li Can. Taking care of her was just a sacred wish that could not be violated.
That’s all.
She stood for a moment, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she had an idea in her mind.
"Leave someone here to keep an eye on Li Can. When His Highness is gone, she will come out alone to report to me." She ordered, turned around and left neatly.
