Chapter 587
Li Huoyue's question made the prince stunned for a moment. She didn't know if the words "last look" had pierced a nerve in her, and some painful feelings that she realized belatedly surged into her heart.
He opened his mouth and two lines of tears flowed out.
Li Huoyue seemed a little passive when she cried. She was not good at comforting others. Just now, when she saw the prince calling her "corpse" all the time, she thought she had accepted it.
The hand that was pinching the prince's neck was finally put down, and instead gently stroked the prince's furry head.
Only for a moment, unfamiliar and polite.
This is the best that Li Huoyue can do.
The prince gritted his teeth and shed tears silently for a while. He took a few deep breaths before he began to speak again in a breathy voice:
"...I, I think."
Now she doesn't actually need to deliberately control her breathing. The constriction in her throat naturally forces her to be unable to make any sound. She speaks with her mouth open, trying hard to control her expression while speaking.
Worried that Li Huoyue didn't understand, she added, "I want to, I want to go and see...but, but they..."
The more she spoke, the more wronged she felt. Guilt, helplessness, fear, resentment and other emotions filled her little head. Finally, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
The noise scared Li Huoyue so much that he wanted to disappear on the spot again.
The leader who was guarding outside also heard it and felt a headache. He didn't know whether he should come in to comfort her. After holding it in for a long time, he finally stammered outside the door: "Your Highness... You, please accept my condolences."
The prince seemed to cry even louder.
Li Huoyue frowned. He didn't like the noise and didn't think it was safe.
Although the prince's courtyard and the Prince of Liang's courtyard were separated by a long distance, and the Prince of Liang's hearing was not as trained as Li Huoyue's, he was afraid that it would not be able to withstand the dead of night, and it would be bad if the Prince of Liang came over to make trouble.
Li Huoyue rubbed the prince's head again, a little hard, and it was immediately clear that it was not meant to comfort him, but rather as a reminder.
The prince opened his mouth and cried, then opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Li Huoyue.
Li Huoyue raised his chin, facing the slightly open window.
Without saying a word, the prince immediately understood what she meant. He looked back and forth between the window and Li Huoyue with a look of joy yet uncertainty, and even stopped crying.
The leader outside sensed something was amiss and called back tremblingly, "Your Highness, are you tired of crying? Shall I call for someone to help you rest?"
At this moment, the prince was even less likely to send anyone over. He shouted angrily, "Get out!"
"Okay!" The team leader agreed and stayed outside the door without moving.
After a brief conversation with the team leader, the prince stared at Li Huoyue again.
This was an emergency, something Li Huoyue had never anticipated before she arrived, so now she had to think about how to get the child out of the room without being discovered.
Or whether or not to take her out.
"Will...will your father go to see your sister?" Li Huoyue asked.
If a master dies in the mansion, no matter how humble his status is, it will be reported.
Such a commotion would definitely alert King Liang, so he had to hurry if he wanted to leave.
The prince shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking about, tears welling up in his eyes again, "...Father has instructed that if...something happens to my sister, her body must be chopped up and thrown away."
"!!! Don't you two look the same? Why are you so cruel to your sister?" Li Huoyue found it unbelievable.
The prince shook his head again, "Father told us that a long time ago, but he didn't tell us why."
Li Huoyue thought it was a bit illogical. "You two are constantly switching identities. What if one day something happens to one of you before you can switch?"
The prince lowered his head, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "...same."
As for what the "same" meant, Li Huoyue didn't have time to ask. She had already heard more than a dozen people with extraordinary skills rushing towards this side.
"We have to go," Li Huoyue said, "but I can't take you there."
As the sound of overlapping footsteps got closer, Li Huoyue quickly whispered something in the prince's ear, and the prince nodded after listening.
The guards outside the door were still doing their duty diligently, looking around from time to time. Just when he thought he would spend the whole night in this state, he saw Manager Zhao leading a small group of King Liang's guards over with a worried look on his face.
The team leader frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.
He is a guard directly under the command of the Left Instructor of the Side Courtyard. Although Prince Liang is a prince and the master of this palace in public, everyone in the palace knows that Prince Liang listens to the Left Instructor most of the time.
Therefore, in the eyes of the team leader, even though they are all guards, the guards of their side courtyard are superior to the guards of King Liang.
Now the prince's courtyard has been assigned to the guards of their side courtyard to take over, so why did Manager Zhao invite the guards of Prince Liang over?
Manager Zhao saw the team leader's expression and knew that he was not feeling well, but there was nothing she could do. After she left, she felt more and more that something was wrong. However, she could not ask the people from the side courtyard to come, nor could she go back to Team Leader Wang and alert the enemy. She happened to meet a small group of guards on patrol, and then she brought the person over.
She wanted to inform Prince Liang, but she was afraid that she was overthinking it. What if nothing happened after she brought Prince Liang here, and the prince's rest was disturbed? Then she was afraid that she would be in danger of death.
Seeing from afar that the team leader looked unhappy, Manager Zhao immediately stepped forward and quietly approached the team leader to explain.

He was a guard directly under the command of Instructor Zuo of the Side Courtyard. Although the Prince of Liang was the prince and the master of the palace, everyone in the palace knew that the Prince of Liang mostly listened to Instructor Zuo.
