Xiao Zhihua was immediately choked, and was choked so hard that he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

If she refuted, her image as a considerate, sensible and understanding little white flower would be completely ruined.

But, was such a serious injury suffered in vain?

So angry!

Crying with anger!

So angry!

Xiao Zhihua was almost crying with anger, but she had to maintain a gentle and sensible look on her face. She endured the severe pain in her hand and staggered to her feet. Her thin body was almost shaking.

"Master..." Baoyu walked forward and held her lovingly.

Seeing the blood, his eyes immediately turned red:

"Master, your hand...I'm afraid it will leave a scar..."

On the side, Yue Er saw the prince defending the princess, and she became emboldened. She took a big step forward and said loudly:

"Baoyu, you are not a doctor, how do you know whether there will be scars or not? Concubine Xiao said that she is fine, do you really want her to get hurt?"

This rhetorical question put the blame on Baoyu's head.

Baoyu was terrified, "My lord, I have absolutely no such intention!"

She is just a little maid, how dare she curse her master?

She said this in the hope of gaining the prince's sympathy, loving his master, and punishing the princess, but she didn't expect Yue'er to turn the tables on her.

Suddenly, I was choked and didn't know how to refute.

Zong Zhengchen glanced at them calmly and said, "Since everything is fine, please leave."

After saying this, he walked into the house.

Xiao Zhihua looked at him sadly with tearful eyes.

He was never like this before...

How did he change...

Inside the house.

Qin Ye was lying on the bed, pulling the quilt over himself and covering himself tightly. When he saw the man coming in, his eyes dimmed a little, and then became cold, without any warmth or emotion.

"Ye'er," Zong Zhengchen walked over, "Are you injured anywhere just now?"

The man's voice was gentle and caring.

He was originally stern and bloodthirsty, but when he became gentle, he was like a jar of fine wine that had been sealed for many years. When you opened a corner, the mellow aroma that overflowed was particularly intoxicating.

Qin Ye slowly lowered his eyes.

She really didn't understand why he would deliberately jump off the cliff and put on a big show.

Was it just to win her favor?

But, she is just an ugly girl, unloved by her father and mother, with no extraordinary advantages, no power from her mother's family, and nothing except her life. What is there worth his calculation?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine." He said calmly.

The man didn't notice anything unusual. He sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand. "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Qin Ye pulled his hand back into the quilt in a distant manner, "It's fine, I'm sleepy."

"You just woke up from a nap and you're sleepy again? Little lazy pig." The man tucked the quilt into place with a smile.

Qin Ye glanced at the smile on the man's face. She was very familiar with this smile, this look, and this gentle aura.

In the past, in front of Xiao Zhihua, he was so gentle and tolerant, as if he wanted to bring all the beauty in the world to Xiao Zhihua.

Now, it's her turn.

Xiao Zhihua, whom he once loved so much, was injured so badly, but he didn't even bat an eyelid and kicked her away without hesitation.

As expected, the royal family is the most ruthless.

Qin Ye didn't want to say more. He turned over, faced the inside of the bed, turned his back to the man, and closed his eyes silently.

At this moment, Zong Zhengchen realized belatedly that something was wrong with her. She was silent, distant, and seemed angry?

What just happened...

He coaxed, "This prince has already issued an order that Concubine Xiao is not allowed to come to your courtyard to bother you again in the future, Ye'er, don't be upset."

Oh!

Qin Ye suddenly wanted to laugh.

Did he think she would be like Xiao Zhihua, madly in love with him, treating him like a god and revolving around him? Love him to the point of madness?

Love him till the end, and then be kicked away ruthlessly by him just like he did to Xiao Zhihua?
