Chapter 848 The Truth - Twenty Years Ago
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she would never admit that she had misunderstood something.
After watching the doctor leave, the princess slowly walked towards Bai Xu, who was lying on the bed.
"And you are, young lady?"
Bai Xu was knocked unconscious from the beginning, so he didn't know that the princess was the one who knocked him down.
"Young master, do you still remember what happened before?"
After the princess reminded him, Bai Xu slowly remembered that he had been walking on the street, and then he was hit by something and flew out.
"Did the girl bump into me?"
To be honest, Bai Xu was so engrossed in thinking about the problem that he didn't remember there was a carriage at all.
"What do you mean I hit you? It was clearly my carriage..." The princess put her hands on her hips, wanting to say that it was her carriage that hit you, but then she paused, thinking that her carriage was no different from her, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Yes, it was me who hit you. What compensation do you want?"
Seeing the princess deflated like a punctured balloon, Bai Xu couldn't help but feel a little tempted to tease her.
"You heard what the doctor said earlier. I am not able to move freely at the moment. Since I need to be observed for two more days, I will naturally have to trouble you to take care of me personally during these two days."
As the emperor's pampered daughter, how could the eldest princess possibly take care of others?
But since she was the one who hit the person, and the other party didn't ask for an exorbitant amount of money, she couldn't just abandon the person!
After a moment's thought, the princess said, "I can have my maid take care of you."
As soon as the princess finished speaking, Bai Xu replied, "I want you to take care of me personally."
"I can send several more maids to take care of you meticulously, 24 hours a day," the princess conceded.
"I don't want a maid, I want you," Bai Xu insisted.
The princess hadn't expected this handsome and refined man to be so difficult. She couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and stomp her foot, saying, "No, I can't take care of people. You're deliberately making things difficult for me."
Seeing the princess's somewhat sullen yet helpless expression, Bai Xu couldn't resist the urge to pinch her cheeks.
Upon realizing this, Bai Xu's expression froze.
He came to Da Zhou with a mission, so how could he get into a fight with such a young girl?
At that moment, Bai Xu did not understand why he had thought that instant. It was only after the two of them went through various experiences that he realized that liking someone really only requires one glance.
"Then I don't need you to take care of me."
Bai Xu suddenly changed the subject, and the princess continued, "Anyway, I can't take care of you."
Only after she finished speaking did the princess realize that Bai Xu had actually meant that she no longer needed to take care of him.
Her eyes met Bai Xu's; his gaze was cold and aloof, but the princess was not afraid.
"You're a really strange person."
Just moments ago he insisted on taking care of her himself, but now he says he doesn't want to. And just moments ago she had seen a smile in his eyes, but now his eyes are cold and distant.
The eldest princess, who had been spoiled since childhood, spoke out without any reservations upon seeing his change.
She seemed like a clumsy girl, but her insight was so quick, which was something Bai Xu hadn't expected.
"Now that you've noticed I'm acting strangely, why don't you leave immediately?"
Despite Bai Xu's obvious order to leave, the princess not only refused to leave but also sat down beside the bed where he was lying.
"Since I'm the one who hit you and caused this, I'll naturally take full responsibility. If you don't make it through the next couple of days, I'll make sure to arrange your funeral and compensate your family."
The princess spoke in a serious tone, but Bai Xu's face couldn't help but darken.
Suddenly he understood why the doctor had been so rude to her earlier; all that talk about death was really unpleasant.
The Seventh Prince and Princess Baiyun rushed over, and when they saw that the other had come from the same place, they couldn't help but exchange a glance before pushing open the door and walking in.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Little sister, are you alright?"
The two spoke in unison, and then they saw the eldest princess sitting on the edge of the bed, while Bai Xu was lying on the bed.
Upon seeing this, Princess Baiyun rushed to Bai Xu's side, "Brother, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
When Bai Xu saw Princess Baiyun, he visibly relaxed. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just bumped my head."
"You hit your head and you're still okay? Bro, you didn't get brain damage, did you?!"
Princess Baiyun patted Bai Xu's head, and Bai Xu immediately groaned in pain.
"No, I'll go get the doctor to take a look."
Princess Baiyun was about to leave when Bai Xu's voice came from behind her.
"Yun'er, stop fooling around!"
Princess Baiyun stamped her foot and turned back to look at Bai Xu with some resentment. She was clearly just worried about her brother's safety, how did it become nonsense?
Bai Xu ignored Bai Yun's mournful gaze and instead focused his attention on the Seventh Prince. "Why would the Seventh Prince be here?"
Although he had heard what the Seventh Prince said, there were some things he needed to pretend not to know until the other party said them.
When the Seventh Prince learned that the Eldest Princess had hit someone, he rushed over without saying a word. When he saw that the person who had been hit was Su Baixu, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"I'm sorry, Brother Su, the young lady who bumped into you is my younger sister."
The Seventh Prince clasped his hands in apology to Bai Xu, who naturally couldn't blame the girl for the accident.
Others might not know, but he himself knew very well that if he hadn't been so engrossed in his thoughts at the time, he wouldn't have been knocked down.
"Seventh Young Master, there's no need for that. To be honest, I also bear some responsibility for this matter. Moreover, I am truly sorry that my sudden fainting caused Miss such a fright."
As Bai Xu spoke, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the princess. In fact, he had originally planned to apologize to the princess, but he had just been thinking of teasing her, so he didn't say anything.
He thought the princess would appreciate his words, but instead he was met with a cold glare from her.
"I never expected you to be this kind of person." The princess gritted her teeth, then waved her hand and got up to leave.
He had initially thought this man was a gentleman, but upon seeing his elder brother, the man immediately apologized to him.
In an instant, the princess transformed him into someone who fawned over her and feared her royal status.
Seeing the princess suddenly leave in a huff, both Bai and Xu were somewhat puzzled.
What is all this about? She bumped into someone, and I not only didn't hold it against her but also apologized, and she just gave me the cold shoulder.
