Gu Wushuang saw Chu Yue didn't respond and knew that she was keeping a low profile and didn't want to talk, so she looked around at everyone.
"Sister Heyue has a low-key temperament. She didn't want to sit with us, but I forced her to come here. But I didn't expect that everyone would think that she is a poor girl who clings to the powerful. My sister is the princess personally appointed by my uncle, the emperor. He has medical skills that can revive human flesh and bones, he can cure diseases and he can go to the battlefield, and the title he received based on his own abilities, doesn't he have more qualifications than you to sit here?"
These were the words she wanted to say just now, but because Chu Yue didn't want to make the matter a big deal, she kept silent.
Now that Qianyu made it clear, she no longer had any scruples.
Chu Yue still sat there calmly, stroking the wine glass in her hand with her fair and slender jade fingers, wondering what she was thinking about.
Lin Han then looked at the woman sitting upright next to Gu Wushuang. The girl was wearing a pink skirt. Her appearance was sweet and smart, but her whole person exuded a sense of tenacity and stubbornness.
She just sat there quietly, not showing any signs of irritation because of everyone's discussion just now.
He bowed to Chu Yue respectfully.
"Princess Heyue has been wronged. I am here to apologize to the princess for the guests who just made rude remarks. I hope that Princess Heyue will not be blamed."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yue picked up her wine glass and drank it all, then stood up and nodded slightly towards Lin Han.
"I didn't pay much attention to what happened today. Don't worry about it, Mr. Lin." After a pause, she looked forward and continued, "He Yue grew up in the countryside and is used to being unfettered. Whatever he wishes in this life, he can do whatever he wants. It was to save the world and save people. If it weren’t for the injury, I wouldn’t have stayed in the capital for a long time. They said I was clinging to power..."
The corner of her lips curled into a small smile.
"Do I need it?"
After hearing Chu Yue's words, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Gu Xianyu put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a warm smile on his face.
"He Yue is right. Her current status as princess does not come from clinging to powerful people."
Chu Yue smiled and looked at Mrs. Lin on the main seat.
"Originally, due to physical reasons, I wanted to come and give gifts to Mrs. Lin and then leave. I met an acquaintance on the way and stayed here." She said, raising her hands and bowing, "I hope the old lady can forgive me. He Yue is not feeling well and has to stay." Go back first."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin quickly stood up with the help of her grandma.
"Would you like the doctor to show the princess a look?"
Chu Yue shook her head slightly.
"Have you forgotten, Madam? He Yue is a doctor herself, and she knows her own body best."
"In that case, I'd like to trouble you and Princess Yue to make this trip. Be careful on the way back." He then looked at Mrs. Lin aside, "Go and see Princess Yue off in person."
Mrs. Lin nodded, "Yes."
Soon, Chu Yue followed Mrs. Lin out of the hall from the side door. There were many people in the hall who didn't even see her face, and she couldn't help but feel regretful.
Some people are even more surprised.
She actually left like this?
Because the scene that just happened was not pleasant, no one spoke in the hall but Yuan Xueer snorted coldly.
"Pretentious."
Lu Xinghe frowned slightly, displeasure flashed across his face.
He stood up, clasped his fists slightly towards Lin Han, and left without hesitation.
Yuan Xueer seemed not to have expected that he would leave so simply.
"Why……"
But Lu Xinghe had already walked out of the hall.
Qianyu rarely attends banquets on weekdays. This time she came here because she heard that Chu Yue would come.
Now that she was gone, he felt very bored and left with Lin Han and Mrs. Lin.
Chu Yue followed Mrs. Lin to the door of Shangshu Mansion. She turned around and bowed slightly towards Mrs. Lin.
"Ma'am, just send it here. Let's go back to the banquet hall."
Mrs. Lin saluted towards Chu Yue.
"I originally thought that the princess was recovering from her injuries in the capital. I was afraid that the princess would be bored, so I invited you to come to Shangshu Mansion to talk about it. But I didn't expect that such unpleasant things would happen. It seems that I didn't think well."
"Mrs. Lin, there is no need to blame yourself. Take your leave."
"Princess, walk slowly."
At this moment, Heimu had already driven his carriage to stop outside the door of Shangshu Mansion.
Chu Yue nodded slightly towards Mrs. Lin, and got into the carriage with Ningdong's help.
Just when the carriage was about to go away, a figure walked out quickly, bowed to Mrs. Lin at the door, and then walked straight towards Chu Yue's carriage.
"I live in the suburbs of Beijing, and I'm on the road with the princess. Can you give me a ride?"
After a while, Ningdong opened the car curtain.
"The princess asked you to come up."
Lu Xinghe got on the carriage and sat down next to Chu Yue.
His eyes were always on her, but Chu Yue just grabbed her sleeves and squeezed them, without looking in his direction.
Ningdong noticed the strange atmosphere in the carriage, quietly opened the curtain and sat next to Kuromu.
Kuroki, who was driving the carriage, glanced at her.
"Isn't it good to sit inside? I want to come out to enjoy the cold wind."
"You don't understand." Ningdong put his hands into his sleeves and hugged him in front of him. He leaned slightly closer to him and whispered, "The princess is having a temper with my uncle. The atmosphere inside is even more uncomfortable than the cold wind."
One corner of Kuroki's lips curled up.
"He deserves it."
"Why?" Ningdong blinked, "But I don't think my uncle did it on purpose. Hasn't he been explaining to Miss Yuan that he already has a wife?"
Kuroki shook his head.
"That's not it."
"What is that?" Ningdong's head was full of doubts.
As both men, Heimu had some understanding of Lu Xinghe's thoughts.
"To put it bluntly, he just wants to save face." He glanced in the direction of Ningdong, "Think about it, what would happen if everyone knew that he was Princess Heyue's man?"
After thinking about it carefully, Ningdong looked at Heimu, "You are polite on the surface, but behind your back you scold him for being a softie?"
Kuroki's voice was light and deep.
"If he is labeled as Princess Heyue, the world will think that everything he does has insider information, including next year's joint examination and palace examination."
After Ningdong pondered for a while, he looked at Heimu with admiration.
"Kuromu, you are so amazing. You can actually guess my uncle's thoughts. I follow the princess every day, but you don't even understand."
This was the first time that Kuroki had said so many words to her. Unexpectedly, he was usually cold and cold, but he was not stupid at all.
Next, Kuroki said nothing.
Inside the carriage.
Lu Xinghe's deep eyes looked at the little girl in front of him who still lowered his head.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
After hearing this, Chu Yue shook her head slightly but did not speak.
Seeing her like this, he reached out to take Chu Yue's hand, but saw the little girl shrinking back as if she was electrocuted.
Lu Xinghe's hands froze in the air, and injuries flashed across his face.
This was the first time she refused his touch.
He retracted his hand and tightened his fists, but still tried to keep his tone gentle.
"Angry?"
