Chapter 276 His Highness and the Little Fox

She paused, then hurried over and helped up the woman's skinny body.

Xiangying first pressed on her pulse for a moment to feel it, and after confirming that she was still breathing, he quickly carried her to a nearby bed.

The girl, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, was so thin that she could be picked up with just a slight hug.

Xiangying immediately took out medical equipment from the space to examine her.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the woman in front of him had suffered a serious head injury in her early years. Although her hair has grown back now, the scar, which is about the length of a thumb, is still there.

Fortunately, she didn't have any serious illness, she just fainted due to excessive malnutrition.

Xiangying's medical room now has everything.

He first gave the woman two injections of nutrient solution, and then fed her some oral glucose.

While waiting for her to wake up, Xiangying drew a tube of her blood and put it into the testing room.

Next time when there is a chance, she will draw another tube of blood from Fang Gan, and the two of them will compare their DNA to know whether they are siblings.

Not long after the nutrient solution was taken, the woman on the bed woke up.

She slowly turned her eyes and looked to the side.

The room was warm because there was a lot of firewood in the charcoal brazier.

A strange figure was standing next to the charcoal brazier roasting earthen chicken.

When the fragrance wafted out, the woman thought she was dreaming.

However, Xiangying turned around and saw that she was awake, and immediately smiled and said, "You're awake?"

The woman then realized that she was not dreaming. She immediately covered her head and screamed, "Who are you? Don't come over here! Help, help!"

"Hush!" Xiangying made a gesture, "I'm here to save you. If you scream and shout, and the bad guys outside hear you, I'll be arrested."

Hearing this, the woman looked at her in horror and stopped shouting, but her face still looked a little uneasy.

"You, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter. I am just like you. We are both trapped in this palace. What is your name?"

The woman was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, covered her head, and groaned in pain: "My head hurts, I can't remember..."

Xiangying blinked, guessing that her old injury caused her to lose her memory and probably damaged her brain as well.

"It's okay, don't worry, I have to go. I left some food for you, but remember to hide it so that no one else finds it."

As she spoke, she pulled out a variety of ready-made foods directly from her sleeves.

Beef jerky, pork jerky, and some raisins and candied fruits that she dried herself.

Xiangying filled the water tank in her room with clean water and prepared to leave.

But when she turned her head, she saw the woman sitting on the bed, staring at her stupidly.

Xiangying took out another quilt and placed it next to her.

"Just now when you were sleeping, I fixed the broken window and door for you. Take good care of yourself. What if your family is looking for you everywhere?"

After saying that, she quickly left the door. When she left, there was a thin layer of snow in the yard again, but Xiangying did not leave any footprints on it.

The woman picked up the soft and thick quilt in a daze, her mind wandering.

"God...God?" she murmured to herself.

*

Xiangying came out of the cold palace, climbing walls and running across eaves, and encountered many imperial guards running past nearby.

But no one noticed her.

Let Xiangying run outside freely until he entered an unfamiliar palace complex.

She hesitated a little and took out the map in the space to confirm it, only to find that this was where the princes lived.

No wonder I saw imperial doctors coming in and out of a palace just now. That must be where the Fourth Prince lives.

Xiangying was just about to turn around to watch the fun when suddenly, a dark shadow stretched out his hand and fell down.

Before she could turn around, the man covered her mouth with his left hand from behind, put his arm around her waist with his right hand, and carried her directly into the next room.

Xiangying's eyes widened and he was about to elbow back in retaliation.

But the other party simply held down her moving hand.

"It's me!" Jie Chen's voice rang in my ears after a long time.

Xiangying paused, looked back, and it was indeed Jie Chen. There was no one else with such deep eyes and eyebrows in the entire Nanyue Palace.

She came out of his arms, a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

After asking, Xiangying remembered that Jie Chen was also a prince, so it was normal for him to live here.

She had only not seen Jie Chen for seven or eight days, but she felt that he had lost some weight.

His brow bones were deeper, and his pair of thin eyes were immersed in the calm darkness, but they looked at her brightly.

"I heard from the inner palace that you were lost. I was afraid that something happened to you, so I wanted to go look for you. I didn't expect you to run here."

As he spoke, he did not loosen the hand that was around Xiangying's waist.

"Are you here to see me?"

Xiangying blinked and said, "If you want to, that's fine."

As a man, it’s okay to coax him occasionally!

Sure enough, after she said this, Jie Chen bent down, and his tall body completely embraced her in his arms, and he exhaled hot breath when he exerted a little force, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.

Xiangying was stunned.

"What's wrong with you? You seem very tired?"

"It's okay," Xie Chen said hoarsely, "I'm relieved to see that you're okay."

He raised his hand to hug her, but Xiangying slapped his hand: "Don't touch my waist. I've been lying down and eating, eating and sleeping recently. I should have gained weight."

Xie Chen let out a few low laughs from his thin lips: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Xiangying patted his hands again: "We agreed not to interfere with each other now. You do your thing and I do mine. Why are you hugging each other again?"

She looked up at him, her bright eyes blinking, and Jie Chen felt that everything he did for her was worth it.

"I just want a hug, is that okay?"

"Okay, I thought about it too." Xiangying dived into his arms and rubbed him twice.

At this moment, the palace maids called out from outside the door——

"Your Highness, Your Highness, where have you been? The Emperor is still waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

Xiangying raised his head and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "The southern cities and counties are in constant war. Today, a spy sent a message to the capital. The generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty have formed a fierce army. With divine help, they will cut through all obstacles and will soon cross the Huai River and enter Shangjing City. He asked me to go there to discuss this matter."

"Oh~" Xiangying stretched out the ending of the syllable.

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: "They said that the Western Zhou Dynasty had divine help, wasn't it you?"

Xiangying sighed and said, "I'm just an ordinary girl. How can I be so amazing?"

Xie Chen smiled, obviously not believing it.

Every time she did something bad, a cunning look like that of a little fox would flash across her eyes.

The palace maid outside was urging them more urgently.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent someone to look for you. Where have you been? Your Highness—"

Xiangying patted him and said, "You should leave. Why are you still holding me?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you a little, but if you have something to do, I can leave now."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiangying with his dark and affectionate eyes.

Xiangying blinked and said, "Forget it, we've already delayed it, so let's just delay it a little longer."

She stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Jie Chen's neck, and kissed him.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she took the initiative, Jie Chen's fanatical aura was suppressed.

The two of them were lucky. Although this was not a bedroom, at least there was a desk.
