In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Hanjin was assassinated.

Immediately after three consecutive days, Di Ronghua did not see Xiao Hanjin-he did not return to the palace.

At noon on the fourth day, Fan Jiang came to tell her that Xiao Hanjin was in the prince's mansion.

Di Ronghua thought about it and left the palace for a while.

The moment she pushed the door into the room, the smell of medicine swept over the room, and she saw the pale man sitting on the bed at a glance. Her cold and sarcastic gaze was completely different from the hidden indulgence he saw when he looked at her a few days ago.

Di Ronghua lowered his eyes and walked slowly over to sit beside the bed, "How are you?"

The man stared at her for a long time and suddenly laughed, "Are you considering me, Your Highness, Princess?"

Di Ronghua looked at the obvious mocking curve on his lips and was silent for a while, "Did you take medicine?"

He pulled his lips, and a deep or shallow haze was hidden under his ink-colored eyes. "I'm still alive, are you very disappointed?"

Di Ronghua slowly raised his eyes and met his eyes, "I thought you asked Fan Jiang to tell me that you were here because I wanted me to see you." After that, she stood up and said lightly, "If not, I'll go back first."

Xiao Hanjin's eyes shrank slightly.

He looked at her back as she turned around without hesitation, and his heart seemed to be caught off guard by something. He didn't even feel much pain when he was shot. He didn't even feel very sad when he confirmed that the master behind the scenes was his father.

Even... it was not so difficult to accept when he heard that Di Ronghua had known the assassination news but did not tell him.

But at this moment, it seemed like I was going to double the numbing pain, and even my breathing became hard.

He thought that he had known for a long time how much she hated him and could accept everything calmly - but it turned out not.

Her resistance to him was much deeper than he thought.

At least once, when he held her hand and inserted a dagger into his chest, she was shaking, and her eyes were either panic or heartache.

And now, she can watch an assassination indifferently - she probably really hopes that he will die so that she can let her be free, right?

She even...it took so long before she looked at him.

"Rong Hua."

When the low voice sounded, the woman paused and finally stopped.

Xiao Hanjin looked at her figure who was always facing his back, and Adam's apple rolled away, "Come here."

She hesitated for a moment, but slowly turned around and walked to him.

The man stared at her with deep eyes for a moment, "Stand closer, I can't reach it if I'm too far."

"What, do you want to beat me to vent your anger?"

As soon as the words were finished, the man suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist and pulled her whole body into his arms.

Her face changed and she subconsciously raised her hand.

But Xiao Hanjin just hugged her.

Her handsome face was pressed against her waist, and she could not see the specific expression. Only a low and hoarse voice sounded in the quiet air. "When my father said you knew about the assassination for a long time, I really thought about at least hitting you to vent my anger. But after waking up, I just thought - as long as the person I saw was you at first, I would think that I would not know anything."

Di Ronghua closed his eyes.

"But it's been four days." The man's laughter was mixed with a little dull self-deprecation, "If Fan Jiang didn't go to find you, you wouldn't have thought about coming to see me, right?"

“…I don’t know where you are.”

"It's not that you don't know, you just don't care."

“………”

He said softly: "Rong Hua, if you hug me now, I will forgive you, huh?"
