Chapter 498

"Why did he treat you like this? You... you are also his child after all." Lin Siran said sadly.

Li Xingxu shrugged, and said: "I don't know, maybe my father thinks that this is also a kind of exercise, and I used it once and found it very effective. I really won't make the same mistake again. It's very worry-free."

Lin Siran walked a little closer to him, she didn't know if this would make him feel better.

"If people have never seen the light, they should not be afraid of the dark. If I knew from birth that my father doesn't love me, I should be able to adapt to the fact that he has other children in the later days. Neglect and indifference."

Li Xingxu smiled wryly.

Lin Siran thought of what Qingxuan said about why His Majesty didn't like Concubine Hui's mother and son, and felt more and more distressed for Li Xingxu.

Even if the Empress Dowager is at fault and Concubine Hui is at fault, what does this have to do with Li Xingxu?

It's not something he can choose, he is also His Majesty's flesh and blood, but he cannot get His Majesty's love and care.

"You don't have to be too sad. There is also a relationship between father and son. For example, I am also my father's biological daughter and his first child, but we don't have a father-daughter relationship. He doesn't like me. Abandoned me shortly after birth, without any hesitation. Later, he took me back because Lin Qianyu could get rid of the engagement. To him, I was just a tool. Kick off."

"Although His Majesty doesn't love you that much, at least he didn't abandon you. You are still the prince. You have never been abolished because of any gossip or other people's interference in these years."

Lin Sizan looked at Li Xingxu, and said with a smile, "We really share the same disease, don't we?"

Li Xingxu also smiled, and said: "It was very sad at first, but when I think that this is what we have in common, I feel a little happy."

"Haha...you are so stupid." Lin Siran laughed heartily.

Seeing her smile, Li Xingxu also smiled, and took Lin Siran's hand, tightening it a little.

If the dark is scary, find someone to keep you company.

The smile of the person beside you can light up the endless night.

The gate of the city was closed, and they had no way of going back, so they could only spend the night in a ruined temple outside the city, and return to the city when it was dawn.

Li Xingxu lit a fire again, asked Lin Siran if he was hungry, and then took out a piece of cake from his bosom.

"Why are you still carrying this?" Lin Siran asked.

"I'm used to bringing some dry food with me when I go out, just in case." Li Xingxu said.

Lin Siran said: "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."

Li Xingxu tore the cake in half, handed half to Lin Siran, and said, "Eat a little, after walking so much, you will definitely be hungry."

Lin Siran was indeed a little hungry, so he took it and took a bite. It was hard and not tasty, but Li Xingxu ate it as if he was used to it, and chewed it very well.

Lin Siran asked: "Do you often eat this?"

"Occasionally." Li Xingxu said, and then took out a water bag for Lin Ruran to drink.

"If you find it hard to swallow, drink some water." Li Xingxu said.

Lin Siran took the water bag and drank a couple of sips.

"You didn't go out often, did you? After all, you have been pretending to be sick, and His Majesty has not given you any errands to travel far." Lin Siran asked casually.

Li Xingxu smiled at her and said, "You also know that I'm pretending to be sick, so of course I ran out secretly."

Lin Siran almost choked, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being known?"

"If you are afraid, you don't have to do anything? You don't really think that you can keep the position of the crown prince, it's all because of the mercy of the emperor?" Li Xingxu smiled, "Every sound of the waste crown is a protection for Gu. "

"Huh?" Lin Siran was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood, "You let people spread the word?"

"Yeah, the louder the shouts outside, the more the emperor will not move his lonely position." Li Xingxu showed a mocking smile, "Because he doesn't want to be manipulated."

Lin Siran couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Great!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Xingxu smiled smugly, then winked mischievously at her.

Lin Siran asked: "How dare you tell me the truth? Are you not afraid that I will betray you?"

"Will you?" Li Xingxu asked.

"No, and there is no point in spreading it, and there is no evidence." Lin Siran smiled, "But I am still very happy, you are willing to tell me the truth."

Li Xingxu's eyes softened, and in the firelight, he looked much gentler than usual.

"Didn't I tell you to stand behind me as a companion? The back can be safely handed over to you, so naturally I'm not afraid to tell you the truth." Li Xingxu said.

Lin Siran lowered his head and smiled slightly, his heart was full of irony.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Lin Ruran was a little drowsy, Li Xingxu didn't speak, but when she was dozing off, he quietly moved his body over so that she could lean on.

After a night passed, when Lin Siran woke up, it was already daylight.

She found herself lying on Li Xingxu's lap, and quickly bounced up after making a fuss.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Lin Siran shouted.

Li Xingxu rubbed his numb legs and said, "You slept comfortably, but it hurt my legs."

Lin Siran was embarrassed and full of apologies.

"You can wake me up."

"You're so tired, I can't bear to wake you up even after you've slept." Li Xingxu smiled wryly, "Hey, I can't even stand up now, will my leg be crippled?"

"No... no, just get used to it." Lin Siran smiled shyly.

Li Xingxu said: "You help me, you can't keep me in this position all the time, can you?"

Lin Siran then went over to help him up.

Li Xingxu deliberately put all the weight of his body on her side, but Lin Siran gritted his teeth and held on, although he was staggering, as if he would fall down at any time.

Li Xingxu's eyes were full of smiles.

"Small body, but the strength is not small."

"It's not that you're too heavy." Lin Siran complained, "You look thin, but I didn't expect to be so heavy."

"Help me outside." Li Xingxu said.

Lin Sizan helped him to the entrance of the ruined temple, the sun had already come out, the weather was fine, the wind was breezy, refreshing.

"We should go back to the city." Lin Siran said, "If we go back later, my godmother might be in a hurry."

"Time should stop at last night, or now." Li Xingxu was a little bit reluctant, "Go back to the capital, and you will become the unapproachable Lin Siran again, and I will continue to play the role of the weak pawn prince. Like two lines that never meet, each living its own life."

Lin Sizan smiled slightly, and said, "We are companions, aren't we? Even if we can't meet, we can't let people see the intersection between you and me, but I know in my heart that we are working hard for our common wish."

Li Xingxu nodded slightly, looking at Lin Siran's side face, her face in the morning light had a different kind of beauty.

When Li Xingxu thought of her baby-like sleeping face before she woke up, his heart was filled with an indescribable tenderness, and he couldn't help thinking, if every day in the future, he could see her sleeping face. Yan, how wonderful would that be?
But these words, after all, he can't say it now.
