It was already past winter, and spring flowers were blooming all over the capital. A carriage marked with the logo of the princess's mansion was forced to stop at the city gate. The panicked shouts of the adults in front of the carriage and the angry curses of Gu Jia Qilang created chaos.
"You want to leave after bumping into someone? Is this the princess favored by His Majesty? Princess Jinrong!"
Everyone looked out and saw a couple kneeling on the ground in front of the carriage, crying loudly. The child in their arms had a pale face and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Everyone:!!!
Sun Li's face turned cold: "Master Gu Qi, don't talk nonsense. It was clearly the child who ran into the middle of the road just now. We didn't bump into him at all!"
Gu Qingchen glared at him: "How could the child die if he didn't hit anyone? You are clearly trying to shirk responsibility!"
There was a lot of discussion around, and everyone looked at the carriage heading towards the princess's mansion with reproachful eyes.
Sun Li was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "You!"
He turned around and wanted to tell the driver to move the person away to make way for the princess, but suddenly:
"Wait a minute."
in unison.
Everyone turned to look and saw a frail young man in tattered white clothes stepping out from the crowd. He glanced at the pink-dressed woman beside Gu Ye, coughed lightly, and said, "I was on the second floor of the teahouse just now. Unfortunately, I just happened to see the whole scene of the child's accident."
He glanced at everyone and smiled slightly, saying, "The princess's carriage didn't hit anyone. It was indeed the child who suddenly ran into the middle of the road."
Everyone exclaimed "Ah" and was stunned.
Gu Qingchen was furious: "Yuanfu, why are you speaking for her?"
Fang Jinrong is vicious and cruel. Shouldn't he be hated by everyone? What's wrong with Yuan Fu?
Yuan Fu raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly, "Master Gu Qi, I know you resent the princess for forcing your elder brother to be beaten, but this was ordered by the Duke of Huguo. What does it have to do with the princess? And it was your elder brother who cheated on you first. What's wrong with the princess beating him?"
"Hit people, oppress the people, what a slanderous word!"
"Master Gu Qi, you are going too far."
Gu Qingchen was stunned.
The discussion around paused, then grew louder.
Song Chenyin was anxious and spoke directly, "Your Highness! Human life is at stake. Even if this matter has nothing to do with you, could you please lend me the carriage to take the child to the clinic first?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted immediately and asked the princess's mansion to make way for the carriage.
Sun Li was so angry that he almost went berserk. What a bunch of idiots who were being led by the nose. There were so many carriages on the street, why did they have to use their princess's carriage?
However, with a creak, the carriage door opened.
"What the young lady said makes sense."
A woman in red walked out of the carriage. The sunlight slanted down, shining on her body as if it were a layer of golden light. She looked like a goddess, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, dazzling and eye-catching.
Sun Li looked nervous: "Princess..."
Xihe hummed and got out of the car: "But there's no need to send him to the hospital."
Amidst the gazes of the crowd, all with varying expressions, she walked up to the weeping parents, knelt on one knee, and extended her hand: "Give the child to me."
The young couple stopped crying and looked at the noble princess at a loss.
Xihe paused, then took the child in his arms, felt the child's pulse and artery with his fingers, and suddenly tapped his chest with his fingertips. He turned the child over, patted him gently, and suddenly a thumb-sized piece of hard candy came out of the child's mouth.
"Cough, cough, wow—"
The child's crying echoed throughout the street and everyone was stunned.
