But as a sister, she couldn't forgive Li Yunrui on behalf of Lin Gong!

So, Wan'er left in a hurry but with great determination.

From then on, their mother-daughter relationship was completely dead in name only!

...

After leaving Changxin Palace, Wan'er followed the maid out of the palace.

Along the way, she kept looking around.

But unfortunately, she didn't see Li Chengyuan.

However, Wan'er could feel that Li Chengyuan was nearby.

Finally, Wan'er left the palace and returned to the carriage.

However, as soon as she entered the carriage, she saw Li Chengyuan already waiting for her inside.

When Wan'er saw Li Chengyuan, she didn't say anything and threw herself into his arms.

Li Chengyuan keenly noticed that Wan'er was in a bad mood, so he hugged Wan'er without saying anything, just giving her silent comfort.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" the female guard asked in a low voice outside.

Li Chengyuan looked down at Wan'er and asked softly, "Wan'er, shall I take you back home?"

"No!" Wan'er suddenly said, "Chengyuan, I want to go back home with you tonight. I want... I want you to stay with me for one night!"

"Okay!" Li Chengyuan nodded without hesitation and said, "Xiaozhi, go back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

.....

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at Prince Tang's mansion.

Li Chengyuan and Wan'er got out of the car together.

On the way, they didn't say a word, just feeling each other's heartbeats.

After getting off the car, Li Chengyuan asked, "Wan'er, where do you want to go?"

Wan'er looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled with surprise.

"Chengyuan, the sky is clear!"

Li Chengyuan looked up.

It really is.....

The dark clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and even the starry sky came out.

Wan'er turned around and said, "Chengyuan, let's go to Qingyue Pavilion. I want to go to the top floor to see the stars!"

"Okay! I'll do whatever you want tonight!"

Li Chengyuan took Wan'er and walked straight towards Qingyue Pavilion.

It's late at night now.

There was no one in Qingyue Pavilion.

Li Chengyuan asked the maid to light candles in Qingyue Pavilion, then he dismissed everyone and went to the top floor alone with Wan'er.

They came to the railing together, leaned on the couch together, snuggled up to each other, and looked up at the starry sky.

Wan'er held Li Chengyuan's hand tightly, leaned in Li Chengyuan's arms, and spoke slowly in a low voice.

"I grew up in the palace!"

"Me too!" Li Chengyuan laughed when he heard the voice.

"You are different from me!" Wan'er said softly, "I have been weak and sickly since I was a child, and I am an illegitimate child, so my status is embarrassing.

Since I was a child, my parents rarely visited me.

Every night, I live alone in a big room.

From that time on, I especially like looking at the starry sky!

Because there’s nothing else for me to see except the starry sky.”

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan felt a little guilty and said, "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I should have treated you better earlier!"

Wan'er shook her head and said, "Chengyuan, I don't want you to say sorry, because you are already good enough.

I understand you.

From the moment you told me that Fan Xian was your biological brother, I knew that although you were not an illegitimate child, your identity might be even more embarrassing than mine.

I'm just a little lonely, but you may face all kinds of crises.

It's hard enough to survive in the lonely palace, so how can you have the extra energy to care about others?

What's more, although we both live in the palace, you and I are both reclusive and rarely see each other. How can we care about each other?

If you insist on saying sorry, then I also want to say sorry to you, because I didn't accompany you through the most difficult time of your childhood!"

"..."

Li Chengyuan didn't know what to say anymore. He just felt like his heart was melting.

Wan'er snuggled in Li Chengyuan's arms and said tenderly:

“Also, my previous illness, my previous tuberculosis, whether it was getting better or worse, I felt that I could die at any time.

During the day, I talked to people with a smile, but I was actually very scared.

?I don’t dare to get close to people because I’m afraid that if I die suddenly one day, they will be sad and upset.

So actually, even if you found me when you were a kid, I would probably reject your care!"

Li Chengyuan didn't say anything, but just hugged Wan'er tighter with pity.

Wan'er felt Li Chengyuan's concern, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she continued:

“I once heard that life is like walking on the road, constantly meeting people and then parting ways.

I am so envious.

Because I'm alone on this journey.

Before I got close to you, I had never met anyone else. I could only move forward step by step, alone!

I thought I would die alone.

But unexpectedly, you showed up!"

After Wan'er said this, she suddenly got up and lay on top of Li Chengyuan. She looked at Li Chengyuan affectionately and said gently:

"Chengyuan, do you know?

I have always been extremely grateful that I attended your poetry reading that day last year.

If it weren't for that day, we might never have been together in our lives.

Your appearance is like a ray of light that illuminates my entire life.

To me, you are my whole world.

But...but I am so scared, I am so scared that one day in the future, I will become a human being again."

Li Chengyuan raised his hand and gently stroked Wan'er's face, his voice extremely gentle and firm, "Wan'er, believe me, my love for you will never change and will never waver.

Even if the mountains collapse, the seas dry up, the rocks crumble, the sun, the moon, the stars turn, and the constellations shift, there is no force that can separate you and me!"

Listening to Li Chengyuan's touching love words, Wan'er's tears suddenly fell.

"Chengyuan, I'm sorry!"

Li Chengyuan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Wan'er shed tears, her face full of guilt as she said, "Just now in the palace, I asked my mother if she had betrayed the country, if she had assassinated Fan Xian, and if she had framed my second brother...

I know I shouldn't ask that.

Because it shows my distrust of you.

But... Chengyuan, I really don't doubt you. I just want to hear her admit these things in person...

But I asked anyway.

I know I shouldn't do this.

I don’t know how to apologize to you, I can only be willful and ask you to accompany me here and watch the stars with me.

Because in my heart, this starry sky is the most beautiful and precious thing to me!

Apart from this, I don’t know what else I can give you to express my feelings!"?

Li Chengyuan felt both amused and distressed when he heard Wan'er's words.

In Kyoto, a capital city full of intrigue and deception, Wan'er is simply a rare white lotus.

He wanted to say that he didn't care about what Wan'er said at all.

But after thinking about it, I was afraid that Wan'er would always be thinking about this matter.

So after thinking carefully for a moment, Li Chengyuan said seriously and gently:

"Wan'er, I feel your feelings.

At the same time, I also like your gift. This starry sky is the most beautiful and precious gift I have ever received in my life!

You have given me your best, so the rest is not important anymore!"

Wan'er shed tears and said seriously: "Chengyuan, I promise that I will never distrust you again!"

Li Chengyuan said gently, "Then I also promise that no matter whether it was before or now, I will treat you sincerely, never lie to you, never be perfunctory with you, never ignore you, and always believe in you, care about you, and love you, until eternity, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!"

After hearing this, Wan'er felt as sweet as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining.

Feeling Li Chengyuan's tenderness, Wan'er felt that as long as she had Li Chengyuan in her life, she really had nothing else to ask for.

Wan'er didn't say anything, but just gently gave her most sincere kiss.

Under the starry sky and the moon, the beauty is in my arms, gentle as a dream.
