Bai Zhi didn’t speak, she simply looked at her silently.

Princess Qianfang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then said: “Brother Lang and I agreed to meet at the Lantern Festival after the New Year. He said that he will wait for me in the capital, and take me away with him.”

Bai Zhi was slightly surprised: “You want to run away with him?” Runaway with someone who hated her father? Is she joking?

Princess Qianfang nodded her head: “Yes, I want to elope with him. As long as I can be with him, I would rather not be a princess. As long as I can be with him, I am willing to do anything.”

“But now—” She swept her eyes at Princess Qianfang’s legs.

Princess Qianfang said with a sad looked on the face: “Yes, my legs are inconvenient now. I also don’t have any news about my elder brother. I can’t go now, nor can I run away with him at this time.”

“So, what do you want me to do for you?” This was the point.

Princess Qianfang looked up and stared at her with her beautiful eyes: “Miss Bai, you help me pass a message to him. Tell him to wait until my legs are healed, and when my eldest brother comes back, I can go with him at ease.”

Bai Zhi looked at the innocent and kind young lady in front of her. Some words were too cruel, she really didn’t want to say it, but if she didn’t say it, would it harm her?

Bai Zhi sighed, “Princess, I remember you said that your father killed his whole family and he is the only survivor. Do you think that at this moment, there is no hatred in his heart?”

Princess Qianfang nodded: “I’m sure. Brother Lang told me personally. He said that as long as he can be with me, he doesn’t care about anything and can put down everything. And I, I am willing to give up my identity as the princess, just to be with him, and travel all around the world.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “Princess, the human heart is complicated, and it can’t be described in just a few words. Why don’t you think about it? Since your elder brother tried his best to save his life, he naturally has deep feelings for him, but why did he stop you from meeting him? ”

Princess Qianfang frowned. She hadn’t thought about it, except that the eldest brother didn’t want her to associate with the son of the traitor. At this time, this idea seemed untenable. If the eldest brother would not allow her to associate with the son of the traitor, why did the elder brother meet him privately?

Bai Zhi said again: “People will change. Even innocent and kind-hearted people, after a drastic event, will have a change of heart. Princess, you should listen to your elder brother.” Bai Zhi even suspected that the attack on the envoy has something to do with Brother Lang.

Otherwise, why would he travel all the way to Chu Country?

Bai Zhi thought of another thing, and immediately asked Princess Qianfang: “Did you ever meet your brother on the day you were attacked in Jinyang City?”

Princess Qianfang blushed quietly and nodded: “Yes, he came to me in the morning and said these things to me.”

Bai Zhi asked again: “Did he touch you?”

Princess Qianfang’s cheeks became redder, but shook her head quickly: “No.”

Bai Zhi said sternly: “This is very important, so don’t lie. Is it true or not?”

Princess Qianfang didn’t understand what Bai Zhi meant, but when she saw the look on her face. She stopped lying and said, “I slipped and sprained my foot. He supported me and hugged me back to the room. He didn’t do anything else.”

Bai Zhi asked urgently: “When he hugged you, did you felt a tingling sensation in the back of your head and neck?”

Princess Qianfang’s eyes constricted and frowned her eyebrows: “How do you know?”

Bai Zhi sighed, “Is it really there?”

Princess Qianfang nodded: “Yes, but it only for a second. It just hurt for a short while, and it doesn’t hurt after that. Is there any problem with this?”
