Li Ji waited for a while, but did not wait for the next sentence.

he couldn't help asking.

"and then?"

Hua Manman looked confused, and asked, "Then what?"

Li Ji frowned: "Is this gone?"

Hua Manman nodded in response.

"Um."

She felt that the other party's reaction was very strange.

It stands to reason that normal people would be surprised and unbelievable when they heard that she was disguised as a man.

But the man in front of him remained motionless.

Li Ji had already known that the other party was a daughter through mind reading skills, so naturally he would not react much to what she just said.

he asked patiently.

"What does that have to do with your escape?"

Hua Manman explained in a low voice while observing the changes in his expression.

"I've always been a girl.

But because the grandfather was worried that no one would inherit the title in the family.

That's why I was asked to disguise myself as a man and be conferred the crown prince as the eldest grandson of Prince Yu's Mansion.

I don't want to live like this.

I also want to live a decent life as a woman like my sister.

I have had many arguments with my grandfather about this.

But grandfather still refused to let go.

I have no other choice but to run away.

The reason I fell while riding was because I had a falling out with my grandfather and wanted to run away from home.

On the way to Shangjing, I kept looking for opportunities to escape, but unfortunately I couldn't succeed.

Today I deliberately pushed Ban Ren away, just to take the opportunity to escape. "

Having said that, she lowered her head silently, revealing a fragile nape of her neck, looking very helpless and pitiful.

Li Ji looked at her calmly, before speaking for a long time.

"Is that all your reason?"

Hua Manman lowered his head and responded softly.

"Um."

Li Ji reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

The two looked at each other.

Hua Manman shivered from the coldness in his eyes.

Li Ji: "Look me in the eyes and say it again, you didn't lie or hide anything."

Hua Manman's lips parted, as if she wanted to speak, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word.

In her heart, it was as if two villains were arguing.

The little person representing intuition on the left is screaming excitedly.

"Speak quickly! Tell him everything about you, and he will definitely help you!"

The villain representing reason on the right sneered again and again.

"What is your relationship with him? Why should he help you?"

The villain representing intuition retorted.

"If you don't try it, how do you know he won't help you?"

The villain who represents reason disdains and sneers.

"Only a fool would think of pinning all his hopes on someone else. If he sells you out, you won't have a place to cry!"

The villain representing intuition is jumping in a hurry.

"You think of people too sinister! There are still more good people in the world!"

The villain representing reason rolled his eyes directly.

"It's obvious that you are too naive. Do you think the regent is a good person? He can climb to this position, which is enough to show that he is not a kind person. Maybe he is deliberately deceiving you. Once you really hand in all the cards If he goes out, he will immediately turn his face and deny anyone."

The villain representing intuition immediately retorted loudly.

"You also said that he is the regent and holds great power. If he really wanted to kill you, he would have already done it. Why bother talking to you here?"

The villain representing reason hummed.

"Then who knows? Maybe he likes to enjoy the feeling of cat and mouse."

...

In Hua Manman's heart, heaven and man are at war, entangled endlessly.

Li Ji has always known that this woman has a lot of inner dramas, but at this time, she still can't help being quarreled by the two villains in her heart.

But he waited patiently.

He wanted to see what choice she would make in the end?

After a long time, I heard Hua Manman speak.

"Can you give me a little more time, I need to think again."

She really didn't know what to do.

Reason told her that she should keep her secret and not trust anyone.

But her intuition told her that she could try to trust the man in front of her.

They all have a point.

Hua Manman is caught in a dilemma, almost entangled to death.

Li Ji didn't feel very disappointed about this, after all, she didn't want to pretend to be stupid and perfunctory him anymore, which was considered a big improvement.

He let go of the opponent's jaw.

"I can wait, I just hope that the answer you give will not disappoint me."

Li Ji stood up, walked to the door of the cell and stopped again.

He turned and looked back.

"Why don't you go?"

Hua Manman was surprised: "Can I go out?"

Li Ji: "If you want to stay here overnight, it's not impossible."

Hua Manman hurriedly got up from the ground: "No need, I still prefer the free sky outside!"

She followed behind the Prince Regent, and the two left Jingzhao Mansion together.

The news about the collective recruitment of prostitutes by princes and princes from all over the country quickly spread throughout Shangjing.

The news about the princes and nobles has always been something that the common people like to talk about, especially this time the news is even more romantic.

Many people took this matter as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Some people even compiled this matter into their vulgar storybooks, deliberately using writing to clearly describe the details of everyone's pornography.

Hua Manman still doesn't know that he has become one of the protagonists in the vulgar storybook.

After she returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, she was immediately reprimanded by Mr. Du.

Although the regent declared that the princes went to recruit prostitutes collectively, Mr. Du knew in his heart that Prince Yu's son must take this opportunity to sneak away.

In order to let the son remember the lesson, Mr. Du specially took out a heavy ruler.

"This ruler is a gift from King Yu.

Before leaving, King Yu once told his subordinates that if the eldest son gets into trouble, he should use this ruler to discipline him.

Lord, please reach out! "

The ruler is made of brass, and looks very heavy.

Hua Manman is unwilling to reach out: "I made a mistake, and I won't do it again in the future."

Mr. Du, who is always smiling on weekdays, behaved extraordinarily ruthless today.

He ordered people to press Shizi's hands on the table.

The ruler fell hard and was drawn into Hua Manman's palm.

The pain made her face turn pale.

After ten strokes in a row, it stopped.

Hua Manman's palm was covered with bloodstains.

Mr. Du said coldly.

"Master, please remember today's lesson. If you commit another crime in the future, it will not be solved by just slapping your palms ten times."

Hua Manman replied tremblingly, "I see."

When she returned to the house, Jiao Gui hurriedly found medicine for her.

The process of applying the medicine is painful.

Hua Manman gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Jiaogui looked at her worriedly.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Hua Manman: "I'm fine, you go out, I want to be alone for a while."

Jiaogui could only leave silently.

Hua Manman sat by the window, looking down at the wound in his palm, feeling very wronged.

She's not Lu Man, she has nothing to do with Prince Yu's Mansion, why should she suffer this for Lu Man? !

At this time, she heard a sound from the other side of the courtyard wall.

She followed the trend and saw a small head popping out tremblingly from the courtyard wall.

...

If there is no accident, it should be updated at this time in the future.
