Chapter 552 Extra - Riding the Same Horse
Chen Ci's gaze met her eyes, and he saw a fleeting look of panic. Seeing her wary demeanor, Chen Ci decided not to delve any deeper.
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone becoming somewhat nonchalant: "We've been married for so long, why are you still being so polite to me?"
Shu Tong rolled her eyes inwardly, and since she was already in a bad mood, she retorted without any politeness.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten your status? You are the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. Who would dare to be impolite to you?"
Seeing the displeasure in her eyes, Chen Ci felt relieved. He smiled and stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital."
This time she finally spoke and asked, "Your Highness, you should still remember that after I entered the manor, I fell down the stairs and hit my head, and I have lost my memory. I don't remember anything from before, and naturally I don't know anything about medicine. Why do you have to take me, this burden, to the Imperial Hospital?"
"But I heard that you were the one who suggested many of the emergency measures at this clinic, including the protective suits?" Chen Ci asked, looking at her.
Shu Tong remained completely calm: "Yes, I've seen these in storybooks before, I'm just using what I've learned."
Chen Ci smiled, clearly indicating that she had considered this issue beforehand.
So be it.
He took her hand directly and said, "Then consider it as me helping you to give me courage."
The man's broad, strong hand enveloped hers. Shu Tong was momentarily dazed, but when she tried to pull her hand away, the man's grip was too strong.
Sensing her intention, Chen Ci turned and glanced at her: "I've already said we're an old married couple, what's wrong with holding hands?"
Shu Tong: "..."
She felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was different today!
With his hand in hers, she could only lower her head and walk beside him, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
However, they still encountered quite a few people along this short stretch of road, and even though everyone was in a hurry, they all noticed this scene.
As soon as they bowed in greeting, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the two of them.
But the awkward situation didn't end there. When Shu Tong reached the door, she didn't see a carriage, but instead saw two fine horses.
Just as she was about to say that she couldn't ride a horse, Tang Ming led the horse to her, and Chen Ci gestured to her: "Get on the horse."
Shu Tong was basically carried onto the horse by Chen Ci. Before she could react, the man also mounted the same horse and pulled her into his arms as he reached for the reins.
The man's cool, refreshing scent wafted over her, and Shu Tong's face visibly flushed red.
Just then, Ye Zhiyuan, who had been on a mission, returned with his team. Upon seeing Chen Ci, he dismounted, bowed, and began to report on the progress.
"The family that snatched the bodies last night has sent people to carry out virus disinfection, and most of the bodies have been buried. We will continue to persuade them to cremate the bodies..."
"Okay." Chen Ci nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Zhiyuan kept his head down the whole time: "This is what a subject should do."
"You've been busy all night, Brother Ye, you should get some rest."
Ye Zhiyuan cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."
Chen Ci nodded slightly, turned his horse around, and rode away.
Ye Zhiyuan stood there for a while longer, until the prince's horse disappeared from sight.
Even though he knew that Shu Tong was originally a concubine of the Crown Prince's residence, and that it was normal for her and the Crown Prince to be very close, he still felt a pang of bitterness in his heart when he saw her in his arms.
He and she are probably destined to be apart in this lifetime.
Therefore, it is advisable to abandon this unrealistic idea as soon as possible.
It's good for everyone.
Fortunately, they seemed to be of one mind, whether it was their interaction on the day of the sports meet, the scene last night when Shu Tong threw herself into the prince's arms and cried her heart out, or their compatibility in riding the same horse just now.
So, that's fine.
