Di Sheng's escape from the prison cell was discovered the next afternoon.
Prince Rong returned home, and Haoyun, who had not returned for the entire night, also returned at this time. The matter of Zhai Sheng's escape was finally exposed.
After King Rong figured out what had happened, he found out that it was his beloved daughter who had helped Zhai Sheng escape.
"Tell me, why did you do this? Prince Rong, who was so angry that his blood was boiling, called Haoyue over and asked her to kneel in front of the hall.
Haoyue's calm little face didn't reveal any fear. "Ama, it's my fault, please punish me.”
"Alright, do you really think I won't dare to touch you?”Prince Rong was about to go crazy! What was she saying? Also, what kind of attitude was this? She looked like she was going all out. How could he not be angry when he saw her?
"Men, bring me the family law.”
"Tsk tsk."
Family discipline? Hao Yun's expression changed greatly, his tall body immediately blocking in front of Haoyue.
"Ma, you really want to punish Haoyue? Haoyue's body won't be able to take it!"
"She asked for it. No one is allowed to plead for her!”Prince Rong said sternly.
This was the first time Hao Yun saw Ama so angry that his face turned blue. He knew that he couldn't save Haoyue by himself, so he immediately ran out to find mother to help plead for mercy.
However, water from afar could not put out the fire nearby. As soon as Hao Yun left the hall, the servant who brought the family law arrived.
"Your Highness." The servant respectfully handed over the family law.
"What else do you have to say?" King Rong came to Haoyue with the family law in his hand.
Looking at the long and thick black stick in front of him, Haoyue shook his head with an ashen face.
Prince Rong thought that his daughter would beg for mercy, but she did not say a word. He was so angry that he raised the family law and hit her without hesitation.
In his rage, he struck out a few times in a row. He basically didn't think that Haoyue's delicate body would be able to withstand it, so he didn't restrain his strength, and each time he struck, it was a heavy blow.
At first, Haoyue was still gritting her teeth and not making a sound. One stick, two sticks, three sticks, as the number of times increased, it was hard to tell whether it was tears or sweat on her face!
His body, which had been hit by the stick, felt like it was burning. Other than pain, there was also a wet feeling. He should be bleeding!
Haoyue couldn't take it anymore, and his body fell down softly. His consciousness was also slowly slipping away from her brain. It was so painful, she thought she was going to die soon!
Did Zhai Sheng escape Beijing safely? She was still thinking about Di Sheng, completely forgetting about her injuries.
To her, Di Sheng was more important than her. As long as he could live, what did her suffering count for?
five years later
It was the lukewarm spring season again, with hundreds of flowers blooming and competing for beauty. In the back garden of Prince Rong's residence, a young girl was standing there, admiring the beautiful flowers around her.
The sun shone faintly on her face, and a gentle breeze blew across her face. At this moment, if someone who did not know her saw her face, they would most likely be amazed by her beauty.
She was prettier than a flower. This sentence seemed to be tailor-made for her.
Her features were as beautiful as a painting, and her face was extremely beautiful. This beauty was none other than Princess Haoyue of the residence of Prince Rong.
Her clear eyes looked at the boundless blue sky. After a while, she sighed.
"Brother Zhai, it's been a long five years!”
It had been five years since Di Sheng had escaped. The fifteen-year-old girl was now a twenty-year-old girl.
At the age of 20, she was still unmarried. In fact, after she turned 16, there were many people who wanted to marry her. Wangye, Baylor, Bei Zi, who knew how many relatives of the royal family expressed their desire to become in-laws with Prince Rong.
As for those descendants of famous families, there was no need to mention them.
However, she was still the little aunt who lived alone and was still the bright moon princess in the residence of Prince Rong.
She was the only one who knew the reason why she refused to marry.
She was still waiting for that person.
Even if he knew that there was no possibility of anything happening between the two of them, even if they met, he would definitely not be able to accept her true identity. But to her, this impossible relationship was her only love in this life.
He had always held a place in her heart. It was precisely because he was in her heart that she could not open her heart to another man.
"Sister Hao Yue, sister Hao Yue!" The one who interrupted Haoyue's thoughts was a petite young girl. She looked at most sixteen years old. She had an oval face, big eyes, and a small mouth. She looked lively and cute.
If Haoyue's beauty was described as a serene landscape painting, this little girl's beauty was described as a lively portrait!
She hopped to Haoyue's side.
Unlike Haoyue's calmness, her unique alluring radiance warmed Haoyue's originally cold heart like sunlight.
"Sister Hao Yue, I've been looking for you everywhere, so you're hiding here!”She grabbed Haoyue's hand and spoke to him intimately.
Haoyue lovingly touched her little face. "Xiyan, when did you arrive?"
Xi Yan wrinkled her nose. "It's been a while, but"
"But my big brother went out, right?”
"Sigh!"
Xi Yan's sigh was really cute. Haoyue couldn't help but reach out and rub her head."Don't sigh. If you stay for dinner, won't you be able to see my brother?”
"That's true." Xi Yan was happy." I haven't seen Brother Haoyun in a long time!"”
"A long time? I remember that you came to my house a few days ago.”Haoyue deliberately embarrassed her.
"Aiya, sister Hao Yue, you're so annoying!”Xi Yan shouted with a red face. "I didn't come on purpose last time. I have something to look for brother Hao Yun!”
"Last time, it wasn't intentional. Then this time, it's intentional!”
"Sister Haoyue…" Xi Yan stomped her feet and chased after Haoyue. "Why are you laughing at me? You know that. Aiyo, you're so annoying!”She shouted as she chased after Haoyue.
"Haha!" Haoyue smiled unhappily. What she liked most about Xi Yan was that she could always bring joy to everyone.
Xi Yan's father was Prince Yi, and they had been friends for more than 20 years. Because of this, Haoyue and Xiyan's family were very close. She, Xiyan, and Xiyan's sister Chaoyan were like sisters and got along very well.
Both families knew that Xi Yan had feelings for Haoyun, who was seven years older than her. However, everyone knew that Haoyun had always had a crush on Chaoyan. As for whether Chaoyan was interested in Haoyun, no one knew!
The emotional world of these three people was like a fog. They were in it, and so far, it seemed that no one could walk out.
To be honest, Haoyue admired Xi Yan as he was the closest outsider to her.
Knowing that the person she liked someone else, but still being loyal to her feelings and loving her was not something that everyone could do.
In order to prevent Xi Yan from getting hurt, Haoyue never asked her about her relationship. She didn't know if Xi Yan had been hurt by this one-sided love.
Xiyan always showed her happy and pure side in front of others. Perhaps it was because of this that she could continue to love her brother who would not respond to her love!
Xi Yan finally caught Haoyue. The two of them looked at each other and laughed non-stop.
"You actually caught up to me. It seems that I really am Old Luo.”Haoyue said with a smile.
"Compared to me, of course you are older.”Xi Yan said with a smile. "But it's only fair because you're prettier than me!”
Haoyue pointed at her forehead. "You're so sweet with your mouth."
"Hehehe!" Xi Yan giggled for a while and suddenly asked,""Right, sister Hao Yue, can I ask you a question?”
"Of course, go ahead."
"You were the one who said it was okay!" "I'm just wondering if you have someone else in your heart that's why you haven't married yet." Xi Yan said carefully.”
Haoyue looked at Xi Yan and didn't say anything.
Xi Yan thought that she had said something wrong, so she quickly pulled Haoyue's hand and said,"Don't be angry. I'm just curious. I don't mean any harm.”
"I know, I know. I'm not angry.”"Do you think that I'm so old and still can't get married, so you find it strange?"”
Haoyue's smile made Xi Yan feel relieved." Not really! Actually, everyone knows that it's not that you can't get married, but that you don't want to. So I guess you must have someone else you like because you're afraid that your Ma won't agree to your marriage with him, so..."
Haoyue shook his head. "You're such a smart girl. Your imagination is quite rich!”She smiled and knocked on Xiyan's head.
"Then tell me, am I right?”Xi Yan asked curiously.
Haoyue's smile disappeared, and his eyes were ethereal as he looked ahead, as if he was staring at a certain figure in the distance.
Seeing that Haoyue didn't say anything, Xi Yan was even more certain of her guess.
There was definitely someone in sister Hao Yue's heart. She must be waiting for that person, which was why she rejected so many suitors.
Poor sister Hao Yue, I wonder where that person is now. Why hasn't he appeared yet? Wasn't he afraid that sister Hao Yue would be snatched away?
Xi Yan's worry was unnecessary because three days later, the person Haoyue was waiting for appeared!
It was the first day of the month, and also the day Haoyue went to the Yuanheng Temple in the eastern suburbs of the capital to offer incense and pray for his family.
It was Haoyue's habit to make a trip to Yuanheng Temple on the first day of every month since he was fifteen years old. The motivation that prompted her to do so was Zhai Sheng.
She came here every month to pray for her family and for Zhai Sheng, who was nowhere to be found. As long as she was alive, as long as she was still in Beijing, she would not stop this habit.
As usual, she sat on the palanquin of the Prince's mansion and was protected by more than a dozen guards as they marched toward Yuanheng Temple.
Yuanheng Temple was located on the mountainside of a small mountain. A round trip would take at least four hours.
Sitting in the swaying palanquin, Haoyue opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside. As far as the eye could see, it was a vibrant green, and new buds were sprouting from the treetops. It was spring again.
Spring was her favorite season because she and Di Sheng met in spring.
She suddenly felt thirsty, so she called out to the window, Coral, are you there?"
Then a maid approached the window, but it was not Coral. "Ge Ge, what are your orders?"
Haoyue then remembered that Shanhu hadn't come with them because she wasn't feeling well. "I'm thirsty. I want to drink some water." she said to the maidservant.
"Ge Ge, you must be tired. Do you want them to stop and rest for a while?”
"Alright, pass down the instructions for me.”Haoyue thought that everyone might be tired, so it was good to stop and rest.
"Tsk tsk."
Not long after, the palanquin stopped, and Haoyue got off with the help of the maidservants.
"Everyone, take a break."
As soon as he said that, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were dressed in black and their faces were covered with black scarves. They all held large knives and rushed towards them without saying a word.
"Ah!" The two maidservants screamed in fear.
The guards went forward to confront the masked man, while the remaining people protected Haoyue and the two maidservants.
" Protect Ge Ge! Protect Ge Ge!"
"Ge Ge, don't be afraid. We'll protect you.”Although the maidservants were trembling in fear, they still did their duty, surrounding Haoyue in the middle.
Both sides fought fiercely, blood splattering everywhere, Haoyue was shocked. It was not that she was not afraid, but now was not the time to be afraid. She did not want to see anyone get hurt, whether it was her own people or enemies.
"Stop!"
Haoyue's delicate voice sounded sonorous and steady at this moment, stopping the coming storm of blood in time.
"Move aside, let me out." Haoyue said to the guard protecting him.
"No, Ge Ge. It's too dangerous.”
"I said move aside, this is an order!" Haoyue shouted sternly.
No one dared to stop her, Haoyue walked with his head held high and strode to the middle of the two parties.
"I am Princess Haoyue from the residence of Prince Rong. May I ask why everyone is blocking the palanquin?”Even though his heart was quite uneasy and afraid, Haoyue's current words and actions were unexpectedly calm.
No matter what, she was still a Ge Ge. She couldn't let Ma lose face.
"Haha!"
She was greeted with a series of laughter. Then, a tall man walked out from among the masked men.
He walked in front of Haoyue and stood still. His tall and imposing body gave Haoyue a strong sense of oppression, and the cold aura he emitted made him even more daunting.
Haoyue was deeply shocked!
It was not because of his oppressive aura, nor was it because of his aura that was colder than winter, but because of his eyes.
These were the eyes in her memory. Why did the man in front of her have eyes that were similar to Zhai Sheng's?
Because of the shock, her mind went blank.
Could this person be the Zhai Sheng that he had not seen for five years?
Was that so? Was it really Di Sheng?
"Perhaps we've underestimated you too much, Haoyue Gege.”
This voice? Haoyue was so excited that his lips kept trembling. Heavens, this voice was similar to the one she remembered. Oh my god, he really was Zhai Sheng!
She was unable to describe her feelings at this moment. Was it excitement, excitement, ecstasy, or fear? She only felt helpless.
She often dreamed of their reunion, but she never thought that they would meet under such circumstances.
"This warrior, why did you suddenly attack us?”She asked him in the calmest and most natural voice as she managed to calm her restless heart.
She could not reveal any flaws. She could not let the people of the Imperial Residence know that the one who led the attack on them was Di Sheng.
Di Sheng laughed loudly when he heard her words.
"Alright, Ge Ge is straightforward. I won't waste time with you. I want you and those two maids. If you know what's good for you, we don't want to hurt the innocent. Tell your men to leave quickly.”
"You mean, as long as the three of us stay, you won't make things difficult for us anymore?”Hearing that Di Sheng wanted to keep him, Hao Yue's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both happy and worried.
"That's right, that's it."
"Ge Ge." At this moment, a guard rushed to Haoyue's side and whispered in her ear,"Ge Ge, the current situation is extremely dangerous. Ge Ge, please let us go all out and fight these evil thieves. We swear to protect Ge Ge and leave this place safely.”
Haoyue shook his head. "No, I can't let you risk your lives for me.”The other party had more than twice as many people as them. Coupled with the previous exchange, she could see that not only did the other party have more people, but their martial arts were also not bad. If they really fought, their people would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"Ge Ge, don't say that. Protecting Ge Ge is our responsibility!”
"I've made up my mind. Don't say anything else. Please help me pass this message to his highness and tell him not to worry about me. I will think of a way to escape.”Haoyue said with certainty.
"Gege."
"Are the two of you done whispering?”
"I'm done." "If the three of us stay behind, can you guarantee that we won't harm the others and let them leave safely?"”
"Deal." Di Sheng answered straightforwardly.
"Alright, I'll believe you." Hao Yue looked deeply at Di Sheng, then turned around and said to the guards,"You guys should leave quickly!"
"Ge Ge!"
"This is an order."
The guards looked at each other, and in the end, the leader of the guards made a decision. "Ge Ge, please take care. We'll definitely find a way to find Ge Ge and save her.”
Instead of staying here and making meaningless sacrifices, it was better to go back and get reinforcements to save Gege. This was the only way now.
"Next," Di Sheng walked to the front of the two maidservants. "Which one of you is Coral?”
Coral? Oh right, how could she forget about corals?
Haoyue was so moved that his eyes turned red. She was sure that the person in front of her was Zhai Sheng, because he was looking for Coral, wasn't he?
He had not forgotten her, just like how she had not forgotten him!
"We're not Shanhu. Shanhu didn't come.”The two frightened maidservants stammered.
Haoyue saw the disappointment in Di Sheng's eyes. After the disappointment, his eyes turned fierce.
He shouted at the two maidservants,"Get out of my sight, both of you. Get as far away as possible."”
The maidservants were frightened, and they looked at Haoyue for help,"Gege."
"Let's go!" Hao Yue hurriedly said to them. She was afraid that if Di Sheng went back on his word, it would be too late for them to leave!
Hearing Haoyue's words, the maidservants said goodbye to him with tears in their eyes," Ge Ge, please take care!" Then, the two of them held hands and fled.
Finally, only Haoyue was left.
Haoyue's eyes were fixed on Di Sheng. At this moment, she had forgotten about her own safety, her entire heart was occupied by the man in front of her.
Thanks to God's mercy, she finally saw him!
As she watched her beloved, whom she could only meet in her dreams, walk towards her step by step with a cold aura, her every heartbeat was filled with the greatest joy.#
