Lu Xinghe put away the cardboard.
"Okay, you rest first. I'll find a tool to make it. If you need anything, just call the maid at the door."
Just as he was turning around to leave, he saw a small white hand tightly tugging on his sleeve, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Chu Yue said with some embarrassment, "Ms. sir, where is the book of words you read to me last night? I'm bored in bed, I want to take a look."
Lu Xinghe smiled, took the storybook from the cabinet on the side and handed it to Chu Yue.
"Don't look at it for too long, you may hurt your eyes."
Chu Yue took the script and smiled like a sneaky little fox.
"I know, I know, go and do your work."
Lu Xinghe looked at her like this, shook his head helplessly, took the cardboard and went out.
Because her left hand was inconvenient, Chu Yue had some difficulty reading. She often had to put it down to turn a page, and then lift it up to read the content. After flipping through half of the book, she felt that her right hand was sore and soft, so she wanted to take a rest. Take a break and then continue watching.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside the house.
"Princess, have you rested?"
"Ningdong?"
No wonder Chu Yue was suspicious, the main reason was that Ningdong used to be called "Miss", but now she suddenly changed her title, and she didn't react for a while.
The voice outside the house was a little choked, "Princess, I am a slave. Can I come in and see the princess? Will it disturb the princess' rest?"
"come on in!"
Hearing Chu Yue's permission, Ningdong cried and laughed.
She gathered her emotions, raised her hands to wipe away the tears on her face, and then opened the door and entered the house.
When she looked at Chu Yue, who was lying motionless on the bed, she felt sad and knelt down in front of Chu Yue's bed.
"Princess, this slave is useless. It is my slave who failed to protect the princess."
Chu Yue's voice was calm.
"There were so many killers at that time. I am lucky to be alive. I don't blame you. Get up."
"Princess Princess..."
Before Ningdong finished speaking, Chu Yue's tone became a little heavier.
"Ningdong, don't you even listen to your master now?"
"Yes, Princess." Ningdong got up from the ground, came to Chu Yue's bedside, and held her hand, "Princess, is your body still hurting?"
Chu Yue subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but found that her neck was now fixed.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it just needs some time to recover." He then looked at Ningdong's arm hanging in front of him with a white cloth, "How is your hand?"
Ningdong moved his fingers.
"It's fine now. My slave's fracture is not serious in the first place. It's mainly a flesh injury, and now it has scars."
After a pause, she said again, "Princess, I want to come back to serve you."
Chu Yue looked at her.
"How can you serve me when your own hands are not healed yet?"
Ningdong said hurriedly, "As long as I don't hold heavy objects with my hands, I'm almost fine. There's no problem in serving the princess in her daily life."
"That won't work either." Chu Yue refused without thinking, "You can take care of yourself for the next few days. I have Aju and my husband here. That's enough for the time being. When I return to Zhuangzi in a few days, what do you think?" Take care of me and I promise not to stop you.”
"Princess Princess..."
"This matter is settled." As if thinking of something, Chu Yue looked at her and asked, "By the way, how is Kuroki's injury?"
Speaking of Heimu, Ningdong's eyes flashed with a hint of shyness.
Chu Yue didn't notice anything unusual in her expression because she had poor vision while lying down.
"Brother Kuroki's wound is on his abdomen. Doctor Zhang has stitched it up before. He has been changing the dressing every day for the past two days and the wound is healing well."
"Are you taking care of him?" Chu Yue asked.
Ningdong hummed, "He was also injured that day while rescuing the slave, so he should take more care of her."
"Okay, just take good care of Kuroki these days. You don't have to worry about me for now. The sooner you get better, the sooner you can come back to me."
Blissful body in winter.
"yes."
…
After Ningdong left, Chu Yue took a nap in the room for a while. After lunch, Zhang Zheng came to give her a follow-up consultation.
"How do you feel?"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It's much better now, Master."
"The protective gear and bed you designed this morning, brat showed it to me. They are indeed very good. How did you come up with the idea?"
Chu Yue suppressed the look in her eyes.
"I didn't get hurt before, so I didn't think about it. This time I got hurt, so I figured it out based on my own needs. It's hard for Master to appreciate it."
Zhang Zheng nodded.
"Put out your hand, I'll take your pulse first."
After a moment, he looked at Chu Yue.
"Have you still had headaches and dizziness in the past two days?"
"No more, Master."
"You're lucky girl. Although the injury is on the head, it's not too serious. Only the wound on the forehead is a bit scary. After tomorrow, you can get up and walk around a little bit with the help of protective gear."
Chu Yue said sincerely, "These past few days, I have made Master worried."
Zhang Zheng waved his hand.
"I know Master is worried, so get better soon, be more careful in your actions in the future, and don't follow the tricks of traitors again. Master, I don't want to experience a white-haired person sending a black-haired person."
Chu Yue followed the good deeds as if they were flowing.
"I know Master, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Afterwards, Zhang Zheng gave Chu Yue an injection before leaving.
When it was getting dark, Lu Xinghe returned to the house.
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe who had been gone for a day.
"My husband, if you are always here with me, will it delay your studies? You will have to take the exam in a few months."
"It's okay." Lu Xinghe dragged the couch beside him to the bed and lay down, looking at her and asked, "Is everything okay today?"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It's all good. Master said that I can go to the ground and move around with the protective gear tomorrow."
Lu Xinghe nodded, "The protective gear has been prepared. When the cloth cover outside is ready, I can get it for you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Chu Yue felt happy in her heart.
"That will come in handy later!"
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"Yueyue, I have to go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning to report to the teacher on the homework of the past few days. I also have some other things to deal with. I may return to Lingwu Villa later."
Although Chu Yue was reluctant to give up, she also expressed her understanding.
"Actually, there is no need to rush back in such a hurry. The mountain road is difficult to walk, and safety is important. It will be the same when you come back after the things over there are settled. I have Aju and Master here, so everything will be fine."
Lu Xinghe reached out and pinched her face.
"You……"
I thought that the little girl had become coquettish and clingy after this setback, but it turned out that it was only temporary.
But such a sensible look made him feel even more distressed.
In fact, as long as she acted coquettishly with him, he would stay for her and put off the matters at hand, but she didn't.
"What's wrong with me?" Chu Yue asked.
Lu Xinghe shook his head.
"Nothing, I just thought you would be much more clingy when you woke up yesterday than you are now."
