"Prince, it’s nothing serious, just superficial wounds. A few applications of dicine and I will be fine soon," Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.
"Rest well in a bit," Xiao Jinxing ordered coldly. "Do not go anywhere without my command."
"Yes." Xiao Wu knew the Prince was forcibly making him recuperate. He couldn’t help but ask, "What about the Princess?"
As soon as Ye Qichi was ntioned, Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened.
Xiao Wu noticed, but couldn’t help asking again, "How is the Princess? When we ca out of the fire, the Princess seed to have been burned worse than . She kept protecting and the little girl I was carrying. She was knocking down the falling pillars with her own hands."
Xiao Jinxing still did not speak.
In fact, he really hadn’t noticed how severely Ye Qichi was injured.
Last night, not only was he focused on Bai Mowan, but since Bai Mowan had her back exposed due to treating wounds, he could only keep his eyes on Bai Mowan’s face as much as possible to maintain decency.
However, Ye Qichi’s entire focus was on Bai Mowan’s wounds. If he really looked at Ye Qichi, he might inadvertently see Bai Mowan’s body. He had to force himself to not turn his head, unless absolutely necessary.
Turning his head at necessary monts was also to only look at Ye Qichi’s face.
Ye Qichi’s face was so dirty, one simply could not see the extent of her injuries!
Now that Xiao Wu ntioned it.
It made him think, when Ye Qichi was bandaging Bai Mowan, who knows... how severe her injuries were on her hands.
They probably weren’t too severe.
Otherwise, Ye Qichi would have ntioned it.
Moreover, Ye Qichi’s body is extraordinary.
Her injuries heal much faster than a normal person, even without treatnt.
This morning, seeing her, she seed more spirited than anyone.
And louder than anyone.
Thinking of this.
The guilt in Xiao Jinxing’s heart seed to lessen a lot.
He said indifferently, "She’s gone to the plague area to treat the sick."
"The Princess doesn’t rest?" Xiao Wu was sowhat agitated.
Did she leave to provide help without properly recuperating?!
Moreover.
Xiao Wu said, "Does the Princess not know that the dicinal materials have already run out? Even if she goes now, it’s useless."
"Don’t worry about her." Xiao Jinxing’s expression turned frosty.
Ye Qichi simply doesn’t listen to him.
Thinking of Ye Qichi’s defiance, the anger he had swallowed flared up again.
"Prince, whether what you do is right or wrong—maybe it is right, after all, you are the Prince, everything you do is correct. But the lack of dicinal materials was indeed per your orders, don’t you think you owe the Princess an explanation?" Xiao Wu couldn’t help but boldly speak up.
Once he spoke.
Xiao Jinxing imdiately beca furious.
"How dare you, Xiao Wu! Who exactly is your master?! Whose side are you on?!" Xiao Jinxing roared.
Xiao Wu imdiately knelt on the ground, "I realize my mistake! It’s just that I feel the Princess really isn’t having it easy, she doesn’t even care about her own life for the sake of the people of Yuzhou City..."
"Enough!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "Do not ntion Ye Qichi in front of ! And go back to your room now, don’t set foot outside your door without my permission!"
Xiao Wu dared not say more.
But he felt that the Prince’s reaction was a bit too much.
Was he reacting harshly because he hit a sore spot, and the Prince was furious out of embarrassnt?!
In any case.
Xiao Wu thought, it’s really better for the Princess not to harbor any feelings for the Prince.
The Prince.
Only cares about Miss Bai’s feelings!
...
Xiao Jinxing put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Yuan Wenkang was waiting at the door.
Seeing Xiao Jinxing co out, he imdiately bowed, "This humble official greets the Prince."
From calling for reinforcents at the border to coming back to Yuzhou City, and then following Xiao Wu to catch Chen Hezhi and his son, he now finally had the chance to report back to Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly, "You’ve had a hard journey."
"It is this humble official’s duty."
"Xiao Wu was severely injured, this Prince has ordered him to rest and recuperate," Xiao Jinxing said. "You co with to et Chen Hezhi and his son."
"This humble official obeys."
After saying this, Xiao Jinxing didn’t imdiately lead Yuan Wenkang away. Instead, he turned and walked to the room next door, knocking on the door.
"Co in," a voice from inside, Bai Mowan’s voice, replied.
It seems she is awake.
He pushed the door and entered.
In the room, two maids were taking care of Bai Mowan, currently feeding her.
Seeing Xiao Jinxing’s arrival, Bai Mowan quickly called out, "Brother Xiao, have you had your al?"
