When Xiao Jingxi's hand touched Ren Yaoqi's cheek, Ren Yaoqi looked at him in a daze and forgot to react for a moment.
When Xiao Jingxi discovered that the wound was very shallow and did not seem to be caused by a sharp weapon, he realized that he had acted like a scoundrel in his impatience.
However, Xiao Jingxi's hand still paused for a moment on the side of Ren Yaoqi's face before he let it go as if nothing had happened. He looked at her and said, "Jinglin is fine. She's already arrived at the palace. I didn't tell her what happened here because I was afraid she would make a fuss and want to get out. Tongxi ran fast, so no one could catch up with her. She only suffered a minor injury on her arm." He paused before continuing, "Everyone is fine, except you."
Xiao Jingxi's tone was a little peculiar when he said the last sentence. Ren Yaoqi's heart trembled when she heard it. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm fine too."
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything else, just said: "The carriage is parked in front, let's go out first."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and followed Xiao Jingxi out without saying a word.
Tongde led the way in front, while Hongying and Pingguo followed behind with their heads down a few steps behind.
As they walked along the path, Xiao Jingxi suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry."
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said, "It's not your fault." Xiao Jingxi didn't know that he would encounter an assassin.
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything.
Ren Yaoqi thought that his expressionless face meant that he was blaming himself and in a bad mood, so she thought about what to say to comfort him. She was so distracted that she forgot to look at the road under her feet and accidentally kicked a slippery rock, causing her body to sway.
Xiao Jingxi immediately grabbed her hand and steady her body.
Ren Yaoqi had several wounds on his hands from being cut by thatch before, which were deeper than those on his chin. He didn't feel any pain at the time, but now that Xiao Jingxi was holding him so hard, he couldn't help but let out a hiss.
Xiao Jingxi noticed something was wrong and immediately looked down, and saw wounds all over the back of her hand. He looked at the other hand and saw the same thing.
Xiao Jingxi remembered the thatched grass he had seen on his way here just now, and immediately understood. He sighed softly and said softly, "Go back and rub it with some medicine, and it will stop hurting."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and tried to pull his hand back, and Xiao Jingxi let go of it as well.
When they reached the patch of thatched grass, Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said, "I'll have someone get you a cloak."
Ren Yaoqi said hurriedly: "I was walking too fast just now and didn't pay attention. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Seeing Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything, Ren Yaoqi immediately assured, "I really won't get hurt."
