Seeing her with a pained expression, Wen Nongnong comforted her, "Just bear with it, it'll be fine in a few days."
Su Qianqian was on the verge of tears. "My butt is only just healed, and now..." Her voice trailed off when she saw the man entering from outside, and her face turned bright red. She felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Why did he happen to come back at this time?
Did he hear the vulgar things she said?
Thinking of this, she lowered her head in frustration.
Fortunately, Si Luo didn't seem to hear her. He walked over and said to Wen Nong Nong, "She injured her leg and shouldn't go shopping. I'll have someone take her home."
Wen Nongnong's heart stirred slightly, "I don't trust anyone else, you deliver it yourself."
Si Luo frowned, "I..."
Before he could finish saying "I want to protect you," Wen Nongnong quickly interrupted him, "It's getting late. He told me I have to be back before sunset. I'm leaving Qianqian with you. Let's go play now."
After saying that, without waiting for him to speak, he turned around and called to Lu Yingying and the others, and also took the other two guards away.
Si Luo: "..."
For a moment, only he and Su Qianqian remained in the clinic.
Looking at the girl sitting there pitifully with her head down, as if she had been abandoned, Si Luo helplessly raised her hand to rub her temples, then walked over and asked, "Can we walk now?"
Su Qianqian was hanging her head in dejection when she suddenly heard the man's gentle voice. She snapped out of her daze and nodded hurriedly, "Mm."
As if to prove she wasn't lying, she stood up and walked outside.
But both of her knees were injured in the fall. Although they had been bandaged, the sudden movement still made her break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Si Luo sighed helplessly, stepped forward to support her arm, and helped her out the door.
Outside the door, a horse-drawn carriage was parked; he had just gone out and hired it.
Si Luo considerately lowered the stool so that Su Qianqian could step on it.
But she had injured her knee, and as soon as she lifted her foot slightly, she gasped in pain.
The next moment, an arm came across her waist and easily lifted her onto the carriage shaft.
Before Su Qianqian could react, the arm around her waist had already been removed.
She turned around blankly, only to meet the man's smiling eyes. "Go inside, I'll take you home."
Su Qianqian blushed, quickly thanked him, and then went into the carriage with her head down.
Si Luo didn't pay any attention. He sat on the carriage shaft, shook the reins, and drove away from the town, heading towards the palace.
Inside the slightly swaying carriage, Su Qianqian pressed her hand to her wildly beating heart, biting her lip, looking completely bewildered.
Lately, it's been strange; whenever she sees Si Luo, she can't help but blush and her heart races.
Especially today, she found her heart in turmoil.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Thinking about it, she sighed softly and leaned her head back against the car wall.
Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
After entering the palace, Si Luo, considering that Su Qianqian's leg was injured and she could not walk well, drove the carriage directly to the side hall where she was staying.
However, after the carriage came to a stop, there was no movement inside for a long time.
Si Luo was somewhat surprised, so she reached out and knocked on the car wall. "Su Qianqian?"
Su Qianqian was sleeping with her face covered in sweat and was not comfortable, so she woke up immediately when she heard the noise coming from the side of the car.
"Huh? What's wrong?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes, somewhat confused.
"We've arrived," Si Luo said calmly.
"Oh, I'll be right down." Su Qianqian thought he should still be heading to the town, so she quickly replied and climbed out of the carriage.
“I still need to go to the town to protect the Empress. Can you go in by yourself?” Si Luo reached out and helped her up. Once she was steady on the ground, he withdrew his hand and politely took a step back.
Su Qianqian nodded, "I can do it, Lord Si, you don't need to worry about me anymore, you go quickly."
"Okay." Si Luo smiled and replied, then ignored her and drove off in the carriage.
Su Qianqian stood there, watching the carriage drive away. After a long while, she finally looked away and then limped into her room.
Xiao Cui, who was guarding the room, was shocked to see her mistress in such a state. "Miss, what's wrong?"
Su Qianqian pouted and said dejectedly, "I tripped and fell."
Xiao Cui opened her mouth wide in surprise, "How did you fall again?"
Su Qianqian felt very embarrassed upon hearing this.
I also feel that I have been quite unlucky lately.
"In a couple of days, once my leg injury has healed a bit, I'll go to Huangming Temple to offer incense," she said after thinking for a moment.
Xiao Cui quickly chimed in, "Miss is indeed having a bit of bad luck. She either fell on her bottom or her knee. I think she must have been hit by something. She should definitely go and offer some incense."
Su Qianqian: "..."
Seeing that her face was covered in sweat, Xiao Cui quickly wrung out a towel and brought it over to wipe her face.
Su Qianqian immediately felt more comfortable.
"Miss, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? The kitchen just made some osmanthus cake and sent a portion over to everyone." Seeing that she looked listless, Xiao Cui quickly asked.
Upon hearing about food, Su Qianqian immediately perked up, "Okay!"
Xiao Cui knew that her young mistress had no resistance to food, so she quickly brought over the osmanthus cake.
After eating the osmanthus cake, Su Qianqian took a nap.
Wen Nongnong and the others returned to the palace before sunset.
Although the town was remote and not as bustling as the capital, it was still quite lively. A group of traveling performers came to the town and put on a variety of shows, which gave Si Lan and her companions a good feast for the eyes. They praised the performances and said they would go again the next day.
Compared to the excitement of the others, Wen Nongnong was not so enthusiastic.
