Forced love, an inescapable fate

Chapter 131: Going with the flow

However, his attentiveness was met with a roll of the eyes from Wanyue.

And she knew clearly what Bai Yu was planning, so she spoke up to remind him.

"You saw what happened that day. The princess is now extremely disappointed in His Highness. Don't act on your own again. If you make the princess angry, I will be the first one to not forgive you."

Seeing that his thoughts were guessed, Bai Yu suddenly looked bitter.

"Wanyue, not only did you not speak up for me just now, you even drew your sword against me. Do you know that I have been worried about you these past few days? Tonight, I even came to see you without telling my master. You really broke my heart."

Wanyue put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at him seriously.

"You should know how His Highness feels about the Princess, but do you think there's any possibility between them? The Princess has always treated him as her own brother. You've seen how much of a blow it was to her after she learned the truth all these years. Now she's finally letting it go. If Her Highness's feelings were known to her, how would it end? I'm afraid she'd hide even further away. Moreover, her marriage to Su Minsheng is already on the agenda. With His Highness's stubbornness, I'm only worried that he might do something extreme. Now I only hope that Her Highness can marry Su Minsheng as soon as possible and put all this to rest. So in Don't come to the Princess's mansion until she gets married. Whenever she sees you, she'll think of His Highness. Even though she appears to have let it go, I know she's never let it go in her heart. The deliberate and unintentional deceptions and exploitations of the past have become a knot in her heart. Furthermore, His Highness's path is already difficult. Now that the Crown Prince has learned of the past between His Highness and the Princess, if he were to discover His Highness's feelings for her, do you think he would let this opportunity slip by? By then, I'm afraid not only will the Princess be put in danger, but His Highness will also be held hostage, making it difficult for him to even take a single step.

Bai Yu certainly didn't think as clearly as Wan Yue did.

After listening to her analysis, I realized that things were not as simple as I thought.

So he asked the questions in his mind about what happened that day.

"So that day you and His Highness acted out a play together?"

Wanyue shook her head.

"Yes and no. I know His Highness wouldn't really let me die because he's concerned about the princess, and I also know his intention to do so, so I just went along with it. After all, without His Highness's protection, the princess would be in danger. I know he did this for the princess's safety. I don't agree with his methods, but it was a helpless move. As for His Highness, although I can understand him, this concerns the princess's safety and happiness. No matter what, I will not let him hurt the princess again."

Bai Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and no longer had any appetite.

He thought carefully about what Wan Yue said and felt that she had a point, but he knew his master and was afraid that what Wan Yue said was not enough reason to stop him.

In the end, I could only sigh deeply in my heart.

But these things are not something he can control, and the fireworks are the most troublesome thing right now.

It’s so late, where can he get fireworks?

But Wanyue said that they couldn't ask their master for help with the fireworks matter. There were only a few hours left, so they should finish this matter first and then consider other things.

After all, he really wanted to do something for Mu Qingli.

But he was still upset about Wanyue's action of drawing her sword against him just now.

He looked at Wanyue with a sad face.

"I won't mention the sword-drawing incident for now. The princess was clearly threatening me with whether we could meet. If I didn't do something inappropriate with the fireworks tonight, she wouldn't let me see you. When did she become so sinister? She's so shameless that she could think of such an embarrassing thing. Wanyue, this is a bad habit. You must never learn it."

Wanyue had finished eating. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, clapped her hands, stood up, and pointed to the messy table.

"Okay, I'm full. I don't know when she became so sinister. You agreed to the fireworks thing right away. Oh, and don't forget to clean up here too. The princess is going to enjoy the plum blossoms here tomorrow. I'm really full, so I'll go digest the food. You can clean up slowly. I won't bother you. You know how the princess has treated us over the past five years. You can't just talk her out of it if you want her to forgive you. These are just small fireworks. I believe you can do it. Remember, you need all kinds of colors. Thank you for your hard work. I'm looking forward to your results tomorrow. Come on."

After saying that, he picked up the long sword he carried with him and gently patted Bai Yu's shoulder, leaving him standing there disheveled in the wind.

After Wanyue left, his colleagues in the mansion saw their leader frantically tidying up the pots and pans in the pavilion. He looked so anxious that he wished he had more hands.

Moreover, during this night, he was witnessed carrying fireworks to the princess's mansion again and again, and he was busy until dawn.

They all thought that he was trying to please Wanyue, so every time they saw him carrying fireworks with difficulty, they would not forget to tease him.

He didn't even have time to refute this.

So that night, he ran almost all over Shangjing, buying all the fireworks he could.

By the time he finished running to the last fireworks shop, he was too tired to speak.

Finally, at the moment of sunrise, I arrived at the Princess' Mansion, dragging my legs that were about to break from running.

After placing all the fireworks, he was so tired that he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Mu Qingli and Wan Yue happened to come over. When they saw the fireworks piled up like a small mountain, they were also shocked by Bai Yu's amazing execution ability.

Looking at his miserable appearance, I couldn't bear it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Baiyu. Since you are so sincere, please stay and have breakfast with us."

Bai Yu was so tired that he didn't want to move, but he had no time to eat breakfast at this time. He had to continue the mission he carried out yesterday today.

He waved his hand and said weakly.

"As long as the princess is happy, this is my greatest ability. I didn't borrow money from others. I bought it by knocking on the doors of fireworks shops one by one. Princess, it's getting late, and I have a mission to attend to. I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first. If the princess needs anything in the future, just let me know. From now on, I will not enter the princess's mansion without the princess's permission. I apologize to the princess for what happened last night."

Mu Qingli was not really angry with Bai Yu for coming into the house last night. Now that he had returned to work for Jiang Ci, it was not easy to keep him, so she had to ask Xiao Tao to go to the kitchen and get him some freshly baked buns.

Bai Yu took the bun handed to him by Xiao Tao, looked at Wan Yue deeply, saluted with his fists and left.

As for what Wan Yue said last night, he still listened to it.
