Chapter 518: Brain is not working well
Prince Yu's few light words fell into Princess Guangning's ears. She did not hear the deep meaning in his words, but she did not feel lost because of it.
Because in Princess Guangning's view, no matter what the reason was for Prince Yu to kill the farmer, it could not erase the fact that he saved her.
Princess Guangning was sincerely grateful to Prince Yu. If he had not appeared, she would no longer be able to live a clean life.
Just now, she buried her face in Prince Yu's arms and cried, venting all the emotions that had been pent up in her heart.
Princess Guangning leaned her head tiredly on Prince Yu's shoulder and muttered, "In my heart, it was you who saved me. I will remember your kindness."
Prince Yu clearly felt that Princess Guangning was no longer afraid of him, and even her words and actions revealed a hint of closeness to him.
It was probably because he appeared beside Princess Guangning at her most desperate moment.
Prince Yu felt extremely uncomfortable with such intimate behavior and pulled her out of his arms.
Princess Guangning hugged his neck with both hands and said, "I sprained both my feet."
She did not lie to Prince Yu. It turned out that she had sprained one foot, and the other foot was sprained when she was tripped and fell to the ground by a villain.
Now my legs have regained feeling, but my ankles are swollen and painful.
Prince Yu looked at Princess Guangning impatiently, but saw that her almond-shaped eyes were red from crying and she was looking at him pitifully, as if begging him to be kind and hold her for a while longer.
“It’s ugly.”
He suddenly uttered two words.
Princess Guangning was confused: "What?"
"You are ugly." Prince Yu said disdainfully, "Stop looking at me with your ugly face."
Princess Guangning: "..."
She lowered her head and touched her eyes. Her eyelids were swollen, just like the eyes of a goldfish she raised.
It's a bit ugly, but his attitude is so infuriating.
But she could only secretly fight back in her heart: "The way you judge women is not only ugly, but also ungraceful."
Suddenly, the air was still.
Princess Guangning realized belatedly that she had actually spoken out loud what she had been complaining about in her heart.
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.
She secretly grabbed Prince Yu's clothes, afraid that he would throw her to the ground.
After all, this is not the first time Prince Yu has done this.
But after waiting for a long time, Prince Yu did not abandon her, but instead walked forward.
Princess Guangning was stunned and couldn't help but look up at Prince Yu. She saw that his angular face seemed to have lost its usual gloom and had become bright and upright.
Even though Prince Yu had a warm smile on his face in the past, she felt a chilling chill in his expression.
And now, even when Prince Yu was not smiling, she could feel the peace emanating from him from the inside out.
Princess Guangning vaguely sensed Prince Yu's transformation due to what happened in the cave today.
"Your Highness..." A subordinate, leading two horses, was waiting at the intersection. From a distance, he saw his master, who never approached others, covered in blood, hugging a woman. His jaw dropped in shock: "This... this is..."
"Princess Guangning has sprained her foot." Prince Yu placed Princess Guangning on the horse's back and took a bamboo hat from one of his subordinates and put it on her head. "Let's go to the ferry now."
The subordinates realized that during their master's absence, they had been delivering food to Princess Guangning. The large amount of food was enough to feed a man doing hard labor for four or five days. From this, it was clear that Prince Yu had no intention of taking Princess Guangning away.
Now, the master actually wants to take Princess Guangning away.
Could it be that their Prince Yu’s Mansion will soon have a real mistress?
Thinking of this, the subordinate took out the pot cake wrapped in oil paper from the bag hanging on the horse's back and handed it to Prince Yu: "Your Highness, please eat it on the way."
How could Prince Yu not understand what his subordinates meant?
He stuffed the pot cake into Princess Guangning's hand.
Princess Guangning was hungry, so she didn't bother to be polite with Prince Yu. She held the big and thick pot cake and took a bite.
This bite felt like chewing on a stone.
Her teeth are loosening.
Guokui only suffered minor skin injuries.
Prince Yu stared at the two tooth marks on the pot-cake: "..."
It seems that I understand why she is not favored.
My brain is not working well.

Princess Guangning, who was not very smart, used the jade token in her hand and the power of the queen to allow them to leave Northern Qi smoothly and return to Da Zhou to meet up with the wedding party waiting for them in Yingcheng.
Princess Guangning sat in the carriage, and the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled down.
If it weren't for the jade token given to her by her royal brother, they wouldn't have escaped the pursuit so easily.
Princess Guangning touched the jade token in her sleeve pocket and looked at Prince Yu who was sitting across from her: "How is my royal brother doing in Northern Qi?"
After reading the secret letter in his hand, Prince Yu took out a tinder, lit it, and threw it into the small copper incense burner. "Your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law have already left for their fiefdoms and will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Zhenbei Prince and his family. As for your other brother, he is already dead."
Princess Guangning clutched the jade token tightly and asked anxiously, "Will my brother and sister-in-law be in danger?" She wanted to ask Prince Yu to return the jade token to her brother, but she was afraid that if it fell into Prince Yu's hands, he would use it against her brother. "Can we stay in Yingcheng for a while longer?"
Prince Yu glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?"
It is obviously impossible to stay in Yingcheng.
Princess Guangning pursed her lips. Not to mention that Prince Yu had something urgent to do and had to rush back to the capital, the matter of their marriage could not be delayed any longer.
Suddenly, she thought of Qin Yao mentioned by the imperial sister-in-law, and an idea immediately came to her mind. She planned to ask Qin Yao to help her hand over the jade token to the imperial sister-in-law after returning to the capital.
In this way, the emperor's brother has the power of the queen, which gives him more bargaining chips.
Prince Yu finished his business and didn't hear Princess Guangning for a while. He looked up and saw her leaning against the carriage wall, asleep. Even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed, clearly preoccupied with something, and she wasn't sleeping soundly.
Prince Yu couldn't help but sneer. She couldn't even protect herself, yet she still had the leisure to worry about others.

On the other hand, Zhao Yi and Shen Qingtan did not rush on their journey, but slowed down their journey and arrived in Yuncheng three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After receiving Shen Qingtan's letter, the steward cleaned the mansion inside and out, bought all the necessary items according to the list, and instructed the maids in the mansion to put them in order.
Shen Qingtan and Zhao Yi returned to the main courtyard. The familiar incense lingered in the room. Their tense nerves relaxed. They went to the bathroom to wash up and had a simple dinner.
"I'm so tired. I've been riding in a carriage for nearly a month. My body feels like it's falling apart." Shen Qingtan ignored the rule of not lying down after a meal and slumped over on the couch. He grabbed Zhao Yi's hand and placed it on his sore waist: "Give me a massage."
Zhao Yi looked at Shen Qingtan lying lazily on the couch, complaining of being tired while dealing with letters. He smiled helplessly and gently massaged her lower back.
Suddenly, Shen Qingtan sat up abruptly, holding a letter: "This Northern Qi is really going to be in chaos."
