Chapter 196 Choice
Xiao Dai breathed a sigh of relief. He was not sure that he could keep her here. His palms were sweating. He gently rubbed her head and said, "Yingying, be good."
The girl lowered her eyebrows and dared not look up, she could only say "hmm" with difficulty.
The heavy footsteps disappeared outside the door, and she didn't wake up until a gust of cold wind blew in.
"Yingying..."
The two people outside the door ran in anxiously and met her smiling eyes, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I won't leave. Let's go back to Yecheng together."
"But..." Han Liang frowned in worry, but was interrupted by her before he could say anything. "Brother, Yuan's identity cannot be hidden, and my father's affairs cannot be concealed for long. If we run away now, we will have to run away for the rest of our lives."
"I can, but Yuan can't."
Liang Heng stroked her head with a heavy heart, his eyes full of heartache, "Yingying has grown up..."
He pulled Han Liang away, giving the little girl some time to calm down.
This matter was too heavy, and it was really too much to ask a young girl like her to handle it.
After nightfall, she drove away everyone, including Zhu Yu, and wrapped herself in a thick blanket, sitting on the stone steps under the eaves with a futon, staring at the flying snowflakes in a daze.
As she was gazing in a trance, a huge figure blocked her sight. The hanging red lanterns were blown around in the air, and the light flickered.
She blinked before she could see who it was, "Shangying, why are you here?"
"I was passing by on patrol." Shangying had a dull expression, very cold and unapproachable.
Cui Yingying said "oh" and looked at him about to leave, so she tried to persuade him to stay, "Then can you chat with me?"
Shangying hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "What do you want, Princess?"
"Is Yuan's identity embarrassing for everyone?" she asked.
Shangying hummed.
That is indeed a hot potato.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Great Prince are also having a headache, right?"
"The princess's younger brother is of the royal bloodline of Jingguo." Shangying did not answer directly, but reminded her.
There is no perfect solution to this problem.
The reason why Jingguo didn't want to make a big deal out of it was because their national strength was not as strong as that of Da Chu. Once His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely use this incident to completely eradicate and swallow them up.
By then, there will be bloodshed between the two countries and people will have no way out but death.
Cui Yingying nodded, of course she knew.
If she handed him over, she was afraid that she would never be able to meet him again in this life.
But if he doesn't hand it over, he will die.
Once he returns to Jingguo, he will be a member of the royal family. Regardless of what the future holds, at least he will be safe in the short term.
"The princess cannot make decisions for a child. If he grows up and knows his identity, he may hate the princess." Shangying became gentle for a rare moment.
The master and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince racked their brains over this matter, but neither of them could think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
Given the Crown Prince's paranoid personality, if the little princess really couldn't bear to let go, he would directly destroy Jingguo and suppress the truth.
As for what will happen to Cui Shaoyuan when he grows up, His Highness has never thought about it at all. He only knows that the little princess will be sad without this child.
But I never expected that someone would get there first and the matter became a big deal.
Cui Yingying raised her head with a forced smile, "Thank you, I will think about it carefully and will not embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Great Prince."
