Chapter 249 The puppy looks so much like the princess
Huo Linger remembered it very clearly. Her father did not tell her cousin's name at that time, but he said that her cousin had a very obvious characteristic: your cousin is the child of your aunt and Jin Ren, and he has a pair of heterochromia.
Because this incident was so unbelievable, little Huo Ling'er remembered it for a long time. However, she had never met someone with heterochromia before, and the little Jin dog in front of her...
Huo Linger was very excited. She squatted down and for the first time forgot the danger and was so close to Youzhu.
When she spoke, her voice was trembling, "Who...who are you?"
You Zhu was obviously stunned for a moment. At such a close distance, he seemed to see the little girl in front of him more clearly. Unconsciously, an inexplicable sense of intimacy emerged in his heart.
He really didn't like this feeling. He turned his head away awkwardly, not wanting to answer Huo Linger's question.
"I'm asking you." Huo Linger anxiously grabbed You Zhu's arm.
Bai Kou and Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel worried. After all, this little Jin dog had the terrible title of "God of Death" in the Northern Barbarian Army. They hurried forward and pulled Huo Linger up.
Bai Zhi lowered her voice to remind Huo Ling'er, "Miss, this little Jin dog is very dangerous, don't get so close to him."
This sentence seemed to make Ling'er unhappy. She turned her head and looked at Baizhi with dissatisfaction.
Bai Zhi lowered her head instantly and didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Haha, your maid is right. If you dare to come near me again, I will break your neck." You Zhu heard their conversation and threatened coldly.
"I'm asking you, what's wrong with your eyes?" Huo Linger was obviously a little angry, staring at You Zhu with her round eyes.
"What's going on?" You Zhu said nonchalantly, "I'm sick."
"Sick?" Huo Ling'er frowned in disbelief. "What illness?"
You Zhu found it funny, "What? You don't believe it? Aren't you a princess? You should ask a doctor to see you..."
He paused and added, "I can hardly see out of my blue eye. I've forgotten what the doctor said, but he did say it's a rare disease."
Huo Linger didn't say anything. She remembered what her father meant. Her cousin had heterochromia because his parents' bloodlines were very different, not because of any disease.
She thought about it, and then asked, "Then...what about your parents? Are they...both from Jin?"
"What else?" You Zhu was getting increasingly irritated. He realized Huo Ling'er was suspicious and began to provoke her unhappily. "Little Princess, you're really losing your composure. You're not going to say I'm from your Northern Barbarian tribe just because I have one blue eye, are you?"
He was full of disdain, "Bah! I'd rather die than be a barbarian! I don't even bother to be in the same league with people like you!"
"You!" Huo Linger stomped her feet in anger, but now when she wanted to take out the whip to hit him, she found that she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She had no choice but to leave, walking out angrily, and Bai Zhi and Bai Kou immediately followed behind her.
After leaving the door, Huo Linger turned around and said awkwardly, "Bai Kou, take care of the wound on his face."
"Yes, Miss." Bai Kou agreed and gave Bai Zhi a look, asking Bai Zhi to follow Huo Linger quickly.
Bai Kou took the medicine to treat the wound and returned to the room. For a moment, she seemed to see the back of the little Jin dog looking a little sad, but it was only for a moment, and the little Jin dog immediately looked at her fiercely.
"What are you doing? Are you going to eat people?" She walked forward and put down what she was holding in a bad mood.
You Zhu looked at her warily.
"I'll treat the wound on your face," Bai Kou explained helplessly, and then added, "It was the princess's idea."
You Zhu tilted his head back, still covered in thorns, "No need."
Bai Kou squatted in front of him, her deep blue eyes casually looking at the little boy in front of her. In a trance, she felt that this little Jin dog... really looked like their princess, with a similar appearance and temper.
That's strange.
How could a barbarian and a Jin person look so alike?
She ignored You Zhu's refusal and took out a clean towel to help wipe the blood off You Zhu's face.
You Zhu slapped her hand away with all his strength. Although he didn't have much strength, his tone was still cold, "Don't touch me."
Bai Kou had lost her patience, and she could see that the kid was really resistant to her contact.
She stood up and said coldly, "Okay, then you can handle it yourself. Although it's okay for a boy to have a scar..."
She paused and added, "But think about how painful it would be for your family, your father, your mother, or your brothers and sisters to see you like this."
Bai Kou observed the boy's expression as she spoke. Sure enough, she noticed that he clearly glanced at the medicine on the ground.
She left with peace of mind.
When she reached the door, she remembered something and said without turning back, "Harsh words hurt people's hearts. Although our princess is a little bit willful, she is really not a bad person. Her father died at the hands of your General Bai. She has the right to hate all of you and even kill you."
"What you said just now made her so sad." Bai Kou said and left quickly.
The room returned to silence again, without a sound at all. You Zhu frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he began to treat his wound himself.
The maid was right. Although he was not afraid of pain or scars, his sister would definitely cry if she saw it.
When thinking of his sister, the image of that unruly princess flashed before You Zhu's eyes. He shook his head vigorously, not allowing himself to think too much.
When Bai Kou returned, she saw Bai Zhi standing outside the room.
"Why are you staying here? Where is the young lady? How is she?" Bai Kou looked inside curiously.
Bai Zhi sighed and lowered her voice, "I just saw the young lady seemed to be crying."
Bai Kou fell silent. She and Bai Zhi were the maids assigned to Huo Ling'er by the late Emperor Huo Xi, and they were also the Death Guards. In her memory, Huo Ling'er had rarely cried since she was able to control her emotions.
The last time Huo Linger cried was when Huo Xi left, but she didn’t cry for too long. She didn’t expect that now... that little brat is really too much.
"No, let me go in and comfort her." Bai Zhi was obviously very distressed and took a step to go in.
"Forget it." Bai Kou pulled her back and shook her head. "Let's stay here and let the young lady be by herself for a while."
Bai Zhi opened her mouth, but finally fell silent and sat down on the steps next to her. In a blink of an eye, her eyes turned red.
Bai Kou turned around and sat beside her, sighing, "The princess has been so lonely for so many years, especially after the late emperor passed away. In fact, she should have had a good cry a long time ago."
"I'm going to settle the score with that little brat!" The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the more she couldn't suppress her anger.
Bai Kou wanted to stop her, but gave up after thinking it over. Instead, she reminded Bai Zhi, "Don't make it too hard on him. Our princess... likes him very much."
Bai Zhi was obviously a little surprised, but she quickly understood, "I understand."
