Chapter 849 The Truth - Twenty Years Ago 10
"My younger sister has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child. I hope you two will forgive her for her past mistakes."
The Seventh Prince didn't understand why the Eldest Princess had suddenly left, but he knew his own sister well. So he apologized to the two of them and said that he would go to the inn to find them. Then the Seventh Prince quickly chased after them.
The eldest princess left in a huff, completely forgetting about her trip to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
When the Seventh Prince caught up with her, the carriage had already reached the outside of the palace. Seeing that she wouldn't stop when he called her, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to jump onto the speeding carriage himself.
"Showa, you're such a grown man, why are you still acting like a child?"
The Seventh Prince's words immediately displeased the Eldest Princess. "What do you mean by throwing a tantrum? Brother, aren't you the one who hates those who flatter us because of our status? What? You've ended up with such a person today?"
It was obvious that the eldest princess had grown to dislike Bai Xu. When the seventh prince saw the anger on her face, he immediately understood what the eldest princess was angry about.
Because Bai Xu addressed him as "Seventh Young Master," Zhao He assumed that the other party was being magnanimous because he knew their sibling relationship. Thinking of the man whose head his sister had bumped into, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but offer an explanation on Bai Xu's behalf.
The Seventh Prince added, "Although I have met Young Master Bai twice, he could never be such a treacherous person. Besides, in the end, it was you who bumped into someone today, so you shouldn't be so petty and hold a grudge."
Among the emperor's sons, apart from the eldest and second princes who were born first, the younger ones were not too far apart in age. Among them, the seventh prince and Princess Zhaohua were the closest in age, so the relationship between these two siblings was naturally better than that of others.
The eldest princess was somewhat skeptical of the seventh prince's explanation. "Did he really flatter you deliberately because he knew my brother's and my identities?"
The seventh prince raised his hand in a gesture of swearing, "It really isn't."
Upon hearing this, the princess's expression finally softened, but due to her pride as a princess, she did not intend to turn back.
"I left the manor today to see my maternal grandmother, but now that things have raged for so long, it's too late to go now. I'd better wait until tomorrow to see my maternal grandmother and then check on his condition."
The eldest princess offered herself the most plausible excuse, and the seventh prince, seeing this, couldn't help but tap her head.
"You'll see what your mother says to you when you get back."
The Seventh Prince did not intend to go back with her to be reprimanded, so he told the coachman to stop the carriage and went in another direction.
Inside the clinic, Bai Xu was carried out by Zhong Yi and Mu Fan. Originally, according to his wishes, he could have walked back on his own.
However, after consulting with the doctor, Princess Baiyun refused to let him leave, so Bai Xu, the dignified Crown Prince of Wei, ended up in this miserable state.
"You two be careful, don't squeeze your brother's head again."
Princess Baiyun noticed that the stretcher was being squeezed inwards from both sides, making it difficult to see half of Bai Xu's face clearly. She couldn't help but remind the two of them.
Bai Xu was already feeling helpless lying there, and when he heard Princess Baiyun's words, he felt even more depressed.
He had only bumped his head, but his sister's words made it sound like there was something wrong with his head.
So Bai Xu simply sat up, holding onto both ends.
"I say, can't you bring the carriage? Why do you have to walk around in the street like this?"
Bai Xu blushed as people pointed at him. In all his life, when had he ever been watched like this, as if he were a laughing stock?
"Brother, stop being so picky. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had to walk back."
Princess Baiyun kept looking back at Bai Xu as she walked, as if to say, "You can be carried, but I have to walk back by myself!"
Princess Baiyun regretted not bringing the carriage with her when she came out. This place was far from the inn, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Most importantly, they didn't seem to remember the way.
Seeing that the group had gone off course without any direction, Bai Xu sighed and jumped down from the stretcher.
"I really shouldn't have brought you two along. You couldn't find your way back after just one trip. How can I ask you to do anything in the future?"
As Bai Xu spoke, he walked towards the right path. Princess Baiyun wanted to stop him, but after hearing this, she could only silently follow behind him.
Half an hour later, Bai Xu finally brought the group back to the inn. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Bai Yun couldn't help but marvel at Bai Xu's ingenuity.
Everyone had just arrived yesterday, and Bai Xu had only gone out for a walk this morning, yet he had already memorized all the routes.
But she herself, besides wandering around like a headless fly, knew nothing.
"If my brother weren't here, I really don't know what I would do."
Princess Baiyun felt a blow to her heart; it seemed that she couldn't do anything well from childhood to adulthood.
Bai Xu never expected that such a small matter would cause her to doubt herself.
"Baiyun, you are the princess of my Wei Kingdom, the pride of my father and mother. You cannot say such things. As the princess of my Wei Kingdom, you should believe in your own abilities."
From the day Wei decided to send Princess Baiyun to marry into the Wei Kingdom, Bai Xu understood that Princess Baiyun could no longer act as she used to, clinging to her brother when she made a mistake and asking her father to solve the problem when she caused trouble.
Far away in a foreign land, no matter what Princess Baiyun was like in the past, she must now learn to be independent and strong.
Bai Xu spoke earnestly, but Princess Baiyun didn't quite understand what her brother meant.
"Okay, brother, stop nagging me and go get some rest! The doctor said you should rest in bed for two days."
To avoid her brother saying things she couldn't understand, Princess Baiyun simply pushed him to the bedside herself and ran out.
Looking at Princess Baiyun, who had not yet truly grown up, Bai Xu glanced at her with some concern before obediently lying back down on the bed.
The next day, just after the brother and sister had finished breakfast, the innkeeper arrived with the seventh prince and the eldest princess.
The eldest princess left directly in front of others yesterday, and is now somewhat embarrassed to come in.
"What are you doing standing outside? Come in right now!"
The seventh prince turned around and glanced at the eldest princess, who was standing stunned by the door, and waved to her.
The eldest princess glanced awkwardly at Bai Xu and Princess Baiyun, then forced herself to walk in.
"I was wrong yesterday, I'm sorry."
Princess Dao was not an unreasonable person. Since she had made a mistake yesterday, she should apologize.
“Miss, there’s no need for that. I was also wrong yesterday. Besides, if I hadn’t said the wrong thing, you wouldn’t be angry. If anyone should apologize, it should be me apologizing to you.”
