Wan Ge had actually guessed it, and seeing his worried look, she replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

At this moment, the person in front of her continued, "Does the princess wish to fake her death, so that she can completely break away from the crown prince?"

He had actually been waiting here for a long time. Besides him, there were many other brothers nearby, including the ones who had caused the carriage problem earlier.

They wanted to fake Wan Ge's death so that she wouldn't need to return to the Crown Prince's residence.

Besides the concern that she might get hurt if she returned to the Crown Prince's residence, another reason was that the Prince did not want her to return.

As Qin Ji's bodyguards, they naturally knew what kind of person the Crown Prince was. They knew he disliked women, but their lord was still particularly bothered by it. Even if Qin Ji disliked women, so what? He still felt extremely displeased; he simply didn't want to see his beloved return to that place.

Wan Ge shook her head. Qin Ji actually wanted her to fake her death to escape? Why didn't he tell her beforehand?

However, now is not the best time to fake her death and escape; she wants to go back.

Wan Ge was not worried about being in danger. Putting aside the fact that Qin Ji had arranged these people, even if she were alone in the past, she would not be worried. Qin An and those people were no match for her at all.

"Tell your prince not to worry, I will be fine. Also, I have no intention of faking my death to escape for the time being. You should hide first, they will probably come here to find me soon."

Not long after Wan Ge finished speaking, she heard someone calling her name.

Wan Ge picked up a pebble from the side and scratched her clothes, arms, and face. When she heard their commotion, she went out and called out, "I'm here."

The others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his voice and rushed forward, but their hearts sank again when they saw her injured state.

"I'm fine, just a few scrapes. How's my cousin? Is she alright?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Miss Shu is fine. The carriage is no longer usable, and this rain is unlikely to stop anytime soon. We've reached the foot of the mountain now, and someone has already found a family to stay with for the time being."

Wan Ge softly replied "okay," and then followed them.

…

After they arrived at the place they had found.

Xiao Ning almost cried again when she saw her injured. Wan Ge shook her head helplessly. In her memory, she wasn't a girl who cried so much.

"Don't cry, I'm fine. Go get me a basin of water so I can clean my wound and put some medicine on it. Don't worry."

Xiao Ning obediently went out after hearing what he said. Just as he stepped out the door, Shu Jiqing appeared in front of Wan Ge again.

Seeing her injured state, Shu Jiqing frowned slightly, but there was not a trace of guilt in her eyes: "Is sister-in-law alright?"

"I'm fine. My cousin shouldn't be hurt, right?"

"I'm not injured..." When Shu Jiqing heard her words, she subconsciously pulled her sleeves up, as if she wanted to cover up her wounds more thoroughly.

Wan Ge pretended not to see her little action and replied with a faint smile, "It's good that my cousin isn't hurt. I don't know when the rain will stop. My cousin should go back and rest first."
