As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yu's eyes turned cold.
Hoshino knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly slapped himself in the mouth several times as punishment.
"My subordinate went to visit me last night. Marquis Dingyuan said that the second young lady suffered from skin trauma."
Xie Yu frowned, that was not what he was worried about.
In the wolf pack, he had always protected Yu Nianchu, so her injuries should not be serious.
Just inside the cabin... I don't know what she went through.
"Hey, Hoshino, do you think Gu is too nice to Chu'er?"
Hoshino nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"Since you helped the second lady last time, you have become a little radical."
"If it were in the past, how could you let yourself get hurt like this?"
Xie Yu put down the cup, looked at the sunrise outside the window with desolate eyes, and said lightly, "Actually, not really."
"Just like yesterday, Gu Mingming could rush in and save her from being humiliated by the bandits."
"But Gu didn't do that. He was afraid that his skills would be exposed and everything he had done over the years would be in vain."
"As Chu'er said, Gu is a cold-blooded person."
Xingye scratched his head and glanced at Xie Yu silently. After what he said, Xingye remembered some other things.
He opened his mouth and whispered, "Your Highness, since last night, my subordinates have heard some discussions, saying..."
Xie Yu: "Huh? What did you say?"
Hoshino lowered his head and said those unspeakable words.
"They said that the second lady was insulted by the bandits and her life was over."
"They also said that the bandits were provoked by the second lady's misbehavior...otherwise why did the bandits only insult her..."
Xie Yu clenched his fists, and his voice was so loud that it floated in the air, unable to land no matter what.
"Chu'er was really..."
But it shouldn't be. In such a short time, and he even flicked a silver needle in, the bandit should have been held in place by the anesthetic on the tip of the needle!
Hoshino shook his head helplessly, "My subordinates don't know, it's just that the people outside are talking about it."
Xie Yu didn't care about his own injury and reached out to get his clothes, "Go and see her alone."
Without thinking, Xingye grabbed Xie Yu.
"Your Highness, at this juncture, you should avoid suspicion! Even if you want to go, you can't go so blatantly!"
Xie Yu clicked his tongue, "What are you trying to avoid? I just want to go in an upright manner!"
"She rescued Xu'er yesterday. As her elder brother, isn't it justifiable for her to go and visit her?"
Hoshino couldn't stop him and had no choice but to follow him while shaking his head.
Now the whole place is on alert, especially Yu Nianchu's camp, where Dingyuan Hou has arranged almost all the guards he brought from the mansion.
Seeing the prince coming, they all saluted, "Greetings to His Highness the prince!"
Xie Yu raised his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. I want to go in to visit the second lady, please get out of the way."
The guards looked at each other with no intention of getting out of the way.
"Back to Your Highness, the Marquis has given orders that the second young lady needs to take good care of herself. Even Master Fu came to visit just now and she was not seen."
"Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Yu frowned and deliberately put on a serious look to scare them.
"Gu is the crown prince. Is there anywhere in this world that Gu can't go to? You dare to stop Gu. You all want to be punished by the Nine Clans, right?"
The guards were in trouble. At this time, a soft female voice came from the camp.
"Let His Royal Highness come in."
The young lady gave the order, and the guards got out of the way, and Xie Yu also entered the camp in a swaggering manner.
After a while, Hoshino and the serving maid came out, leaving only the two of them inside.
Looking at Yu Nianchu, whose face was pale, Xie Yu felt very uncomfortable and was speechless for a moment.
Yu Nianchu was calm, as if nothing happened yesterday, calm and composed.
"Your Highness, won't you sit down?"
Xie Yu did not sit on the stool prepared by the maid, but sat on the bed without hesitation. The hand that was not wrapped in gauze grabbed Yu Nianchu's wrist.
"Chu'er, are you...are you okay?"
The distance suddenly shortened, Yu Nianchu instinctively retreated, and his face turned red uncontrollably.
"I...I'm fine. Why do you ask, Your Highness?"
She raised her clear eyes and looked at Xie Yu shyly.
"Didn't His Highness save me yesterday?"
"Whether it's a wolf, a bear, or that thug."
As she spoke, her little head lowered and her voice became gentle.
Since yesterday, she felt that her feelings towards Xie Yu had changed...
I would blush when I saw him, I would be afraid to look into his eyes when talking to him, and my heart would beat so fast.
As she thought about it, she grasped the quilt tightly with both hands, and her earlobes turned completely red.
"Well, although I don't know why that thug suddenly stopped motionless, but I always..."
She raised her red face and looked directly at Xie Yu, "Is it you? Really?"
Xie Yu was originally worried that the girl would be frightened, but now it seems that nothing is wrong.
And...it seems like I still like myself a little bit.
He curled his lips, pretending not to care, and even touched her forehead.
"I don't know, maybe the thug suddenly got cramps all over when he looked directly at him?"
This time, the two of them could not hold back and looked at each other and smiled.
Yu Nianchu suddenly thought of something, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, holding a black cloak from the bottom of the bundle.
Then he handed it to Xie Yu with a slight smile.
"Neng, I owe you a crowning gift~"
"Originally, I wanted to ask you what pattern you liked last time on the wall, but you insisted on taking off your clothes to stop me, so I had no choice but to embroider casually."
Many years have passed since this promise. Xie Yu didn't expect that this girl would still remember...
It's just that at this time, he became more and more arrogant and wanted to tease this little girl.
He took the cloak, touched it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."
"It's just that the workmanship looks new at first glance. It can be seen that it is not the one I promised to be alone~"
Yu Nianchu didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "I will make that one similar to this one before you get crowned with it."
"It's just that when my father went to war, Yu Shuen and Li Xianglan made things difficult for me. I couldn't enter the palace, and even the cloak was thrown away by them..."
She glanced at Xie Yu and said calmly, "Anyway, I have fulfilled my promise. If you don't like it, you can just find a place to throw it away or give it away."
After saying that, she turned around and stopped looking at Xie Yu.
"Oh my, it's just a joke. Did it make Chu'er unhappy?"
"The sin of being alone is huge~" he said, already shaking off the cloak with one hand, trying to put it on himself.
But one hand is indeed a bit forced.
He could only pat Yu Nianchu's shoulder, "Good Chu'er, would you like to consider helping the orphan?"
