Chapter 37 The Arrogant Prince 4
Xu Qiuqiu was a little confused, not understanding why he asked this. "It's nothing."
Zhou Zichen's expression darkened again. He reached out and took the blueprints, his brows furrowed as he looked down at them.
Seeing his furrowed brows and increasingly cold expression, Xu Qiuqiu was puzzled. Was her drawing really that bad? Did he not understand it? Should she explain it to him?
Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Zichen slammed the blueprints on the table and walked towards her.
Seeing Zhou Zichen's cold face as he approached her step by step, Xu Qiuqiu felt a little flustered. What was he going to do? Was he going to hit her? But the drawing was real; she hadn't lied to him.
Just as she was thinking of what to say, Zhou Zichen forcefully pulled her hand away, and she cried out in pain.
Zhou Zichen rolled up her sleeve, saw the redness and swelling on her wrist, and asked with an unreadable expression, "You still say you're fine?"
"..." Xu Qiuqiu was speechless. Did he have to be so scary? Couldn't he just say what he meant? He made her think that he suspected her drawing was fake.
But she didn't dare show it. She immediately adjusted her expression and said ingratiatingly, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Zhou Zichen glanced at her, put her hand down, and said to the guards outside the tent, "Summon the physician."
Then a handsome man dressed in light blue walked in carrying a medicine box.
He bowed respectfully and asked, "Is Your Highness Prince Yan'an suffering from a relapse of your old ailment?"
"No, show her," Zhou Zichen said, pointing at Xu Qiuqiu.
Xu Yuan looked up at the person Zhou Zichen was pointing to. Although she was dressed as a palace maid, she was beautiful, with snow-white skin and gentle eyes. When they met eyes, Xu Yuan lowered his head somewhat shyly.
He thought to himself, "This girl is so beautiful."
However, he dared not think too much or look too closely at the girl who appeared in the command tent of Prince Yan'an. He walked up to Xu Qiuqiu and asked, "Excuse me, miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Qiuqiu glanced at Xu Yuan and extended her hand to him, "My wrist is a little swollen and painful, but it's nothing serious."
Just as Xu Yuan was about to reach out to check if she had broken any bones, Zhou Zichen coldly said, "Look if you want, why are you touching me?"
Xu Qiuqiu was even more confused about what Zhou Zichen was trying to do. He had called the doctor in to check her injuries, but he didn't want anyone else to know how badly she was hurt. How was he supposed to check her injuries?
Hearing Zhou Zichen's tone, Xu Yuan knew that this was a sign that he was about to get angry. He withdrew his hand and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Prince Yan'an, I need to check whether this young lady has injured her bones or muscles."
Zhou Zichen didn't know why he would get particularly angry whenever he saw someone touch her. He quickly walked over, grabbed Xu Qiuqiu's hand, and unconsciously loosened his grip. He carefully touched the injured area and then said, "It's not a broken bone. Prescribe some medicine for her."
"Yes." It took Xu Yuan a long time to find his voice. He was also dumbfounded. He had been in the military camp for almost half a year. He knew the temperament of the Prince of Yan'an well. He never liked others touching him, let alone touching a girl's hand. When treating the Prince of Yan'an's injuries, he had to be very careful, for fear of displeasing him and being dragged out and beheaded.
King Yan'an was known for his bad temper and cruel methods. Although young, he was the most powerful war god in Lingyue Kingdom. He had never lost a battle. However, this time King Qi of Qi Kingdom was quite capable and fought King Yan'an to a draw, which made King Yan'an's temper even worse recently, and he exuded a repressed aura.
But it's truly unbelievable that such a cold-hearted, ruthless young man would treat a girl differently.
Xu Yuan didn't dare to think too much. He opened the medicine box, took out the ointment, and said to Xu Qiuqiu, "Miss, you only need to apply it once a day, and you will recover quickly."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor." Xu Qiuqiu took the medicine and smiled at Xu Yuan.
The girl in front of him was beautiful, and even more beautiful when she smiled, but Xu Yuan didn't dare to look at her for long. He could sense the low pressure emanating from the Prince of Yan'an, so he picked up his medicine box and quickly took his leave.
Xu Qiuqiu was stunned as she watched Xu Yuan pack his medicine kit and walk even faster. Was she really that ugly in this world? Had she scared everyone away?
Since there was no mirror available, she could only touch her face. Her nose was high and straight, her skin was smooth and delicate, and her face shape was also very good. Her bone structure did not resemble that of an ugly woman.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Zichen looked at her actions and felt inexplicably annoyed. How could she smile at a man? She had never smiled at him since she met him. Why was she smiling at someone else?
Xu Qiuqiu put her hand down and looked at Zhou Zichen, whose face was full of unhappiness. She thought this person was hard to understand. Why was he unhappy ever since he met her?
I miss Ah Chen from the previous world; he was so much gentler with the same face.
But she kept it to herself. She looked at Zhou Zichen and smiled sweetly at him, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Prince Yan'an, for sending someone to treat my injury."
Zhou Zichen snorted coldly. He hadn't smiled at him first, and now he was only smiling at him. It was too late; he wouldn't appreciate it.
However, he didn't even realize that his complexion had improved considerably.
