After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 496: Childhood sweethearts, memories of childhood (6)

Although the King of Qin had been resisting the urge to look for Xue'er, he had privately sent many people to keep an eye on his beloved's movements.

That evening, the eunuch he had sent out came back and reported, "Your Highness, Madam Li is here to see Madam Gu."

Hearing that the Li family came to look for Gu again, the young man immediately frowned: "Why are they here again?"

The young eunuch glanced at him and said, "It seems that he is here to ask Madam Gu about marriage."

"Marriage?" The young man's expression changed immediately: "Didn't their family already want to cancel the engagement? Why are they bringing it up again?"

The boy rubbed his hands anxiously: "What did they say?"

The young eunuch hesitated and said, "Madam Li has been talking to Madam Gu in the room. We really don't know what they are talking about."

"Idiot." The boy cursed and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Xue'er? Is she showing any signs of performance?"

The young eunuch was being scolded by his master and was feeling uneasy. Seeing him asking the question, he quickly replied, "Ms. Xue'er was also accompanying Madam Gu in the room the whole time. It was only later when Madam Li came out that Miss Xue'er came out to see her off."

Before the young eunuch could finish, the young man asked anxiously, "Are you saying that Xue'er went to see the Li family's wife off?"

"Yes." The young eunuch said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Did you hear what Xue'er said to Mrs. Li?"

The young eunuch tried hard to recall and replied, "I didn't say anything, but I saw that Miss Xue'er seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face."

She was actually laughing.

Could it be that the Li family doesn’t want to regret the engagement again?

Does she really hope to marry Li Rong?
The King of Qin has never been so confused in his life.

The night grew darker and darker, and even when the full moon rose into the sky, he did not feel sleepy at all.

This is the first time I feel such torment in my heart.

No, he couldn't help it.

He wanted to meet her and ask her in person.

The young man jumped off the couch without even putting on his cloak, and pushed open the door of the palace impatiently.

The night wind outside blew in his face, calming his fevered mind a little.

It's already late at night, and it would be inappropriate to disturb her at this time.

He hesitated for a long time and went back to the bedroom, but he still felt uneasy.

Thinking that she was going to marry someone else, the young man's heart felt like it was bleeding and he couldn't bear it at all.

They grew up together, and he had long been accustomed to having her around. Why would another man want to take her away from him?

Thinking of this, he wished he could kill Li Rong, and he didn't want to let go of any man who had desires for her.

This idea is crazy and stubborn.

The boy rushed into the bathroom, scooped a whole basin of cold water, immersed his head in the cold water, and tried to force himself to calm down.

But it still failed.

He misses her.

He wants to see her.

He couldn't wait a moment longer.

Late at night, Xueer was already fast asleep, when suddenly, a knocking sound woke her up from her sleep.

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and carefully identified the source of the voice. After a while, she put on her shoes and got out of bed. She came to the north window and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" "Xue'er, it's me."

Hearing this familiar voice, the little girl opened the window without thinking too much. When she saw the boy's appearance, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why is your hair all wet? It's so cold at night, why don't you even wear a cloak? Aren't you still sick?"

The little girl asked a series of questions, but the boy remained silent.

"Your Highness..." She glanced at his face and called out, "What happened?"

There was a tremor in the little girl's voice, as if she was afraid.

The young man wiped his face and smiled at her: "I really couldn't sleep, so I practiced swordplay in the yard. This is not water all over my head and body, but my sweat."

The little girl was skeptical and nodded ignorantly.

"Aren't you sick? You can't catch a cold." As she said that, she took off her cloak and handed it to the boy through the window: "Put this on for now."

The boy took the clothes she handed him, and when his big hands touched her delicate little hands, a hint of heat appeared on his cold face.

The boy quickly retracted his hand and said thank you shyly.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The little girl looked at him and became more suspicious: "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong?"

The young man nodded.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

He didn't answer again, but just half-lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was in a dilemma.

"What happened?" She became more and more unsure and began to worry about him: "Did His Majesty punish you again?"

"Xue'er——"

After a long while, he called her name and raised his head, looking straight at her with a pair of clear eyes: "I like you, I want to marry you, I will treat you well for the rest of my life, in this life, I will only treat you well, Xueer, you have to believe me, you can't marry anyone else, you can only marry me."

The boy spoke these words in one breath, his speech was somewhat incoherent, but every word was clear.

The little girl froze in place.

After a long while, she said: "During the day you still..."

Before she could finish, he continued, "What I said during the day was not my true words. I don't want you to marry Li Rong or Zhang Rong. Those generous words were all said against my will to please you."

The little girl bit her lip and lowered her head.

He raised his hand and grasped her wrist. The young man was dignified and well-educated. Even in such a passionate situation, he did not offend her at all. Although he could not control the urge to touch his beloved girl, he still held her wrist through the gap.

"Xue'er, I just want to ask you, do you like me or not?"

Seeing the little girl remained silent, he continued, "I know you have concerns. You are worried that I am a prince and I will not be loyal in the future. Do those men outside know how to be loyal? Did Li Rong promise you, as I did, that he would not take concubines or have other women in the future?"

He paused, and then moderated his excitement: "It is so rare to meet the love of one's life. Since you have me in your heart, and I love you, I am willing to be devoted to you for the rest of my life. Why can't you be braver?"

Such a dark night always allows people to reveal their true selves.

Faced with such a sincere confession from the man she loved, the little girl finally nodded to him while crying.

The boy was ecstatic: "Xue'er, you agreed, right?"

"I knew you loved me." He gripped her wrist tighter.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and replied seriously: "I don't know if this is love or not, but when I see you in trouble, I feel distressed. I don't have this feeling towards other men, even if Li Rong had his nose broken by someone."

The boy smiled like a child: "Silly girl, this is love."

He pulled him and said, "My father said that as long as we care about each other, that is love."
