Xu Yuehuai quickly let go of her hand and was about to back away when Qi Guze suddenly hugged her tightly, grabbed her waist, and lifted her out of the carriage, placing her on his lap.
The two sat together on the horse, their bodies overlapping.
Chu Guangbai, who was standing next to him, froze for a moment as he watched.
"Many thanks to Young Master Chu for helping A-Yue today. I will visit again to express my gratitude another day!"
Qi Guze looked at Chu Guangbai and said to him.
Chu Guangbai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "There's no need for a formal visit to express my gratitude. Besides, I'm only doing this for Manager Xu's sake, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness, so there's no need for Your Highness to thank me."
Xu Yuehuai was being held by Qi Guze. Seeing the two of them talking like this, she felt that there was some kind of conflict between them. She wanted to turn around and see Chu Guangbai's expression, but her hand was held tightly by Qi Guze.
"Aze?" Xu Yuehuai asked Qi Guze in a low voice, puzzled.
Qi Guze gave Xu Yuehuai a gentle look, then bid farewell to Chu Guangbai, patted his horse's rump, and took Xu Yuehuai back to the Tianxianglou branch.
Xu Yuehuai felt it was impolite for them to leave like that, so she quickly said to Chu Guangbai, "We can discuss the agreement between us in more detail later!"
Chu Guangbai nodded slightly, his eyelids narrowed, and watched Qi Guze leave with Xu Yuehuai.
After a long time, Chu Guangbai showed no sign of leaving.
The coachman asked anxiously, "Young Master, it's getting late. If you don't go back soon, the Old Madam will worry!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Guangbai waved his hand, signaling the coachman to start the carriage again.
The coachman quickly drove the carriage away with Chu Guangbai.
Qi Guze carried Xu Yuehuai off the horse and carried her directly upstairs to the bedroom.
Zhang Ting and Afu, who were watching nearby, saw that Xu Yuehuai was alright, so they didn't go up to bother them.
Xu Yuehuai found a comfortable position in Qi Guze's arms, wrapped her arms around Qi Guze's neck, and did not struggle.
How are your injuries?
"What have you been doing all this time?"
Xu Yuehuai questioned Qi Guze, who paused, frowned slightly, and then continued walking into the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Qi Guze placed Xu Yuehuai on the bed.
"I've been bad these past few days. I haven't kept my promise to you. Will you blame me?"
Qi Guze held Xu Yuehuai's hand tightly, looked up at her and asked.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head. "How could I blame you?"
"You must have had some urgent business to attend to, which is why you didn't take care of me."
"I want to know right now, Aze, how badly are your injuries?"
Xu Yuehua guessed that Qi Guze was probably too injured to receive help from these geniuses.
Qi Guze realized that he couldn't hide it from Xu Yuehuai any longer, so he said to her, "Because I was seriously injured last time, I rushed to chase after Princess Yinshan. In case she came looking for you and something happened, I took a pill to enhance my power."
"I never expected that the medicine would worsen my internal injuries and cause me to fall into a coma."
“These past few days, Pei Xuan and the others have been taking care of me, and my health has started to improve. I just woke up and was thinking of going to find you. I never expected that Chu Guangbai had already brought you back.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly.
"I knew it, Aze, that's why we haven't heard from you for so many days. You must have been injured."
"It's good that you're alright now. Otherwise, if I came back and saw you so badly injured, I would have been frantic with worry. That would have been even more unbearable than me being locked up in prison."
Qi Guze was deeply moved to see that Xu Yuehuai didn't blame him at all, but instead kept worrying about his injuries.
"And what about you, Yue? How are your wounds?"
"The medicines I gave you were all miracle cures for wounds. After applying them, they would heal in no time. I didn't have a proper examination at the time to see how serious your wounds were, and I don't know how well they are healing now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately took Qi Guze's hand and placed it on the ribbon at her waist.
"Aze, why don't you examine me yourself and see how well my wounds are healing?"
Qi Guze touched the soft flesh around Xu Yuehuai's waist, and his face immediately turned bright red, his ears swelling as red as boiled shrimp.
"No, I'll just examine the superficial wounds on your arm and that will give me a general idea."
After saying that, Xu Yuehuai obediently rolled up her sleeve, and Qi Guze held her arm and carefully examined the wound on it.
The wound on Xu Yuehuai's arm was almost completely healed, and the new skin was pink and tender, without leaving any scars.
"It seems your wounds are healing well. You need to apply some more muscle-regenerating ointment, and then there won't be any scars left, and it will look exactly the same as before."
As he spoke, Qi Guze took out some muscle-regenerating ointment from the drawer next to him and gave it to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai caught the precious skin-regenerating ointment, her eyes crinkling as she said to Qi Guze, "Aze, this isn't something you were reluctant to use and saved for me, is it?"
The skin-regenerating ointment is extremely precious, produced in the renowned Dongrong Kingdom, known for its skilled physicians. Only a few bottles are produced each year, and each bottle is only the size of a thumb.
When the Dongrong Kingdom pays homage to the Great Zhou Kingdom, they offer some muscle-regenerating ointment. Even if Qi Guze manages to obtain some, he certainly won't have much.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai with great tenderness, "The best things in this world should all belong to you. It's useless for me to have them all, so I might as well give them all to you."
Xu Yuehua snuggled into Qi Guze's arms, "In this world, only you are so good to me. If other people around me got something this good, why would they share it with others?"
"You're really kind of you, giving me everything."
Xu Yuehuai felt that she was truly blessed to be able to fall in love with Qi Guze, and that Qi Guze was so good to her, which was completely different from the conservative people around her.
But temporary goodness doesn't guarantee lasting goodness. The more Xu Yuehuai thought Qi Guze was good, the more uneasy she felt, fearing that Qi Guze might end up like other heartless men and hurt her.
But to stop moving forward out of fear is not Xu Yuehuai's style.
She walks her path well, enjoys the happiness of today, and holds Qi Guze's hand. Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire in front of her, as long as he never leaves her side, she will follow him with her life!
Qi Guze said, "You are better."
There is no better woman than Xu Yuehuai. Qi Guze cherishes Xu Yuehuai dearly, and it is all worth it.
Xu Yuehua smiled faintly, nestled in Qi Guze's arms, feeling that this was the best moment of all time.
