Chapter 609 I Don’t Even Dare to Look at Yao Xu’s Face

The doctor was already waiting in the room.

After the doctor carefully examined Princess Qing'an, he examined Zhu Yaoxu again.

Princess Qing'an had some scratches on her face and hands and sprained her ankle, while Zhu Yaoxu only had some simple scratches on his hands and was not injured otherwise.

Both of them were frightened, and the doctor prescribed them some tranquilizing soup.

Zhu Yaoxu's situation was better. She leaned in Madam Zhu's arms and told the story while still somewhat frightened.

"…It's all my fault." Zhu Yaoxu's face turned pale. He didn't look at Princess Qing'an and said directly, "After visiting the Peach Blossom Temple with the Princess, we saw a fox running by on the way back. I heard that foxes are spiritual creatures, so I chased after it. The Princess went with me, and when we reached the cliff, we both fell off the cliff..."

Mrs. Zhu's face turned pale. She never expected that this trouble was caused by her daughter.

For a moment, Madam Zhu didn't dare to look at Princess Ying's expression.

Princess Qing'an said softly, "It's not Yao Xu's fault. I'm curious too."

Princess Ying sighed and said, "You two little ancestors, you are just curious. Madam Zhu and I were almost scared to death."

Mrs. Zhu also sighed.

Princess Qing'an and Zhu Yaoxu were both ashamed and speechless.

This was not the time to teach her daughter. Princess Ying said to Madam Zhu, "Yao Xu was also frightened today. You should go back and rest early, drink some soothing soup, and have a good sleep."

Madam Zhu was deeply moved. Her daughter got into trouble, but Princess Ying not only did not blame her, but was so considerate.

She wiped away the tears from her eyes with emotion, stood up, took Zhu Yaoxu with her, bowed to Princess Ying and Princess Qing'an, and left.

Zhu Yaoxu walked to the door and looked back with a complicated expression.

Seeing Yu Yongliu sitting silently in the outer room, it was obvious that he was guarding Princess Qing'an who was injured in the inner room.

Zhu Yaoxu's face turned pale again, then he turned and left.

After Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Yaoxu left, Yu Yongliu and Xingxing also wanted to say goodbye.

Princess Ying was sincerely grateful to Yu Yongliu.

Yu Yongliu went into the mountains regardless of the danger and found her daughter for her. For this, Princess Ying was deeply satisfied with this young man who might become her son-in-law.

"Lord Xiao Yu, I will give our prince good advice after he returns home." Princess Ying's words have already made her position clear.

Yu Yongliu was very calm and bowed with his fists: "Thank you, Princess. The princess was injured and frightened today. My sister and I will not disturb her for now and let her have a good rest."

Xing Xing also said: "Princess, I will come to see you again in two days!"

Princess Qing'an was too embarrassed to speak when Yu Yongliu was talking. Xingxing said hello and left her, and Princess Qing'an's voice immediately came from behind the screen: "Okay. Come and play with me when you are free."

"Yes, Princess, wait for me."

Princess Ying asked her maid to send Yu Yongliu and Xingxing out.

Before leaving, Yu Yongliu couldn't help but turned back to look at the screen and said, "Princess, have a good rest and take good care of yourself."

Princess Qing'an was listening in the inner room behind the screen. Even though her feet were still hurting, she couldn't help blushing.

After Yu Yongliu and Xingxing left, Princess Ying sat beside Princess Qing'an's bed. She couldn't help but touch Princess Qing'an's forehead with her hand, but when she saw that her daughter's forehead had some scratches and the color was obviously red after applying medicine, she couldn't help but pause her hand in mid-air, and finally let it go.

Princess Ying sighed: "You."

Princess Qing'an threw herself into Princess Ying's arms and said coquettishly to her, "Mother."

Princess Ying embraced Princess Qing'an and said, "What's going on? Yao Xu was vague about it before, and her mother was scared enough, so I didn't ask much. Why are you going to the Peach Blossom Temple when you're fine?"

Princess Qing'an whispered, "...Yao Xu knew from Xingxing that Mr. Yu San had a lover, so she was very upset and couldn't get over it. She came to me and asked me to accompany her to the Peach Blossom Temple in the mountains to pray for marriage. After all, this matter was related to me, so I accompanied her..."

Speaking of this, Princess Qing'an blushed.

She couldn't tell Zhu Yaoxu that Yu Yongliu's lover was her, and she felt somewhat guilty, so she accompanied Zhu Yaoxu to the Peach Blossom Temple to pray for marriage.

As a result, Zhu Yaoxu regarded the fox that came out later as a "spiritual creature" sent by God to make her wish come true. She even happily asked Princess Qing'an if God was hinting to her that there was still a chance for her and Mr. Yu San.

After saying that, he went to chase the fox.

Princess Qing'an was also panicking, fearing that Zhu Yaoxu Zhen and Yu Yongliu might have something going on, so she hurriedly chased after them.

As a result, several people rolled down the cliff.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened...

Princess Qing'an shrank in Princess Ying's arms, saying, "...When Third Master Yu found us and came down to save me, he picked me up and I didn't dare to look at Yao Xu's face..."

Princess Qing'an was extremely confused. When she was in despair, Yu Yongliu came down from the sky and saved her, so she was naturally overjoyed.

But she didn't know how to tell this secret to her best friends, and thus it was exposed to them.

Because of her leg injury, Yu Yongliu originally said that he would lead the horse for her, but how could she bear to let Yu Yongliu walk back in the dark?

She and Zhu Yaoxu were still in shock, and their bodies were weak, so it was not easy for them to ride together.

Princess Qing'an did not hesitate for long before quietly suggesting that she and Yu Yongliu ride together.

At that time, Zhu Yaoxu seemed to be so shocked that he stepped on a branch and broke it.

Princess Qing'an wanted to explain to Zhu Yaoxu, but she didn't know how to explain. Besides, they had just escaped from death, so it was not a good opportunity to explain.

So I came back this way.

Princess Qing'an was still a little uneasy. Seeing her daughter like this, Princess Ying softened her heart and held her daughter's hand: "Ningning, you did the right thing. Under the circumstances at that time, it was the best choice for you to ride with Master Xiaoyu. Besides, Master Xiaoyu wanted to marry you, he is a noble person, and his family members are all easy to get along with. Mother has no objection. In mother's eyes, you two are an engaged couple, so what's the problem with riding on the same horse? ... Besides, everything should naturally be based on the safety of our Ningning."

Princess Qing'an was moved and fell into Princess Ying's arms: "Mother..."

Princess Ying made the decision: "It's okay. Next time Yao Xu comes to see you, just tell her about this. I'm sure I can persuade your father. You should explain it to Yao Xu as soon as possible. If Yao Xu can't get over it, just cut off contact in the future. This will save you two from tormenting each other now."

After hearing what Princess Ying said, Princess Qing'an seemed to have a backbone in her heart. She nodded and responded, "Okay, mother, I will tell Yao Xu when she comes."

However, he never expected that during the next few days of recuperation, other noble ladies had come, Xingxing had come twice, but Zhu Yaoxu had never come even once.
