Fortunately, she was thrown off the red-brown horse as soon as she climbed onto its back. If she had been thrown off while the horse was running, she would not have just suffered a swollen foot.
Even so, this injury was enough to make her suffer.
With her body so swollen, she can't go anywhere for the time being.
She was feeling quite depressed and was about to ask Physician Lin some precautions when she saw Gu Linchao stride in from outside.
Seeing the man's unpleasant expression, she felt a little scared; Gu Linchao would definitely scold her.
She blinked, and before he could speak, she suddenly pouted and said, "Your Highness, it hurts..." As she spoke, she stretched out her hands to him, "I want a hug."
Physician Lin, who was packing his medicine chest: "..."
The princess wasn't like this just now. When he was applying medicine and bandaging her, she didn't even make a sound. How come she immediately changed her attitude as soon as the regent returned?
Green, with her eyes downcast and her nose seemingly indifferent to her thoughts, was already quite used to her young mistress's drastically different personality.
Gu Linchao paused, his handsome face slightly embarrassed. His initial worry for her turned into helplessness.
Although there were other people present, this time he did not ignore her actions.
He stepped forward, patted her head, and asked gently, "Why were you so careless?"
Seeing that he was so gentle and showed no intention of scolding her, Wen Nongnong became a little bolder, and took the opportunity to hug his waist, pouting as she said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have fallen off my horse..."
Gu Linchao paused, then sighed, "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to learn to ride a horse?"
"You're so busy, how could I bother you with such a trivial matter?"
Looking at her obedient and considerate appearance, Gu Linchao patted her head and said gently, "Remember in the future, you can come to me with anything. If I'm not available, then we'll see."
"I understand." Wen Nongnong touched her right ankle and said worriedly, "But will I be lame in the future?"
Just as Physician Lin was about to speak, she winked at him. He was taken aback, and then heard her say, "Your Highness, if I become lame, will you abandon me?"
Upon hearing this, Physician Lin understood perfectly and shut his mouth.
Sure enough, Gu Linchao frowned immediately upon hearing Wen Nongnong's words. "It's just a sprained ankle, how could it be as serious as you say?"
"I was just giving an example. What if the prince doesn't want me anymore?" Wen Nongnong asked again, unwilling to give up.
Gu Linchao said helplessly, "Of course not, stop overthinking."
Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. Although most men's words are unreliable, she believed Gu Linchao's words.
It seems that, through her efforts, Gu Linchao has not only changed his opinion of her, but he probably likes her now too.
Moreover, he is a man of his word; he generally doesn't go back on his promises.
It seems her position as regent's wife is secure.
Thinking it over, she pressed her advantage, saying, "Even though I'm not lame, my injured foot is still very inconvenient. How am I supposed to take a bath? How am I supposed to use the restroom? How am I supposed to go out..."
When Gu Linchao met the girl's pitiful eyes, he said without thinking, "No need to worry, I'll take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong suppressed a laugh and said, "These are the words of the Prince, so you must take good care of me."
Gu Linchao wanted to say that she was his wife and that taking care of her was his duty, but he changed his words to "Mm".
Although it was just a soft sound, Wen Nongnong was overjoyed to hear it, and the injury on her foot didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.
"Imperial Physician Lin, how is the Princess's injury?" Gu Linchao asked Imperial Physician Lin, who was standing to the side.
