As Si Yi spoke, she took two steps forward and looked at Gu Linchao with some nervousness. Seeing that his left hand seemed to be injured, she looked worried and asked, "Is Master injured?"
Gu Linchao was about to say that he was fine when Wen Nongnong spoke first: "The prince is injured, so the task of driving the carriage will be left to you." With that, she threw the reins from Gu Linchao's hand to him, then helped Gu Linchao up and went into the carriage.
When Si saw how rough and unruly she was, he was about to say something when he saw his master obediently follow her into the carriage without saying a word.
Si Yi, holding the reins: "..."
Once inside the carriage, Wen Nongnong released Gu Linchao's hand, plopped down, stretched, and said, "Si Yi is here, so I'm relieved. Your Highness, please make yourself at home. I'm going to take a nap."
Gu Linchao was taken aback.
So the reason she insisted on sitting in the driver's seat with him was because she was worried about him?
A warm feeling rose in his heart.
This girl may seem mischievous and restless, but she is actually thoughtful and considerate.
The carriage started moving, but Wen Nongnong couldn't sleep soundly at all.
The carriage was too simple, and the bumpy ride made her uncomfortable.
She frowned and opened her eyes. Seeing that the man was leaning against the carriage wall and had no intention of sleeping, she couldn't help but shamelessly say, "Your Highness, this chair is too hard. Could I borrow it to support your legs?"
Gu Linchao was lost in thought when he suddenly heard this. He was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Wen Nongnong pointed to his thigh and said matter-of-factly, "Your Highness's thighs are just sitting there empty anyway, why don't you lend me your head for a bit?"
Gu Linchao: "..."
Now he heard it clearly: this girl wanted to rest her head on his lap, and she even said it in such a...
His handsome face flushed slightly, and after a long pause, he nodded, "Mm."
With his permission, Wen Nongnong immediately moved to his side and unceremoniously rested her head on his lap.
However, Gu Linchao's thighs were not weak at all, but it was better than nothing. She found a better sleeping position and peacefully closed her eyes to sleep.
The moment Gu Linchao came onto her pillow, his body tensed up.
This girl...
Wen Nongnong soon lowered her eyes, but because of the jolting, her head would move around. In her sleep, she subconsciously reached out and wrapped her arms around Gu Linchao's waist, and moved her head closer to him.
Gu Linchao's body tensed up instantly because of her actions, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his smooth forehead, making him feel extremely tormented.
The Scattered Bone Fragrance, which he had suppressed, showed signs of awakening again.
Gu Linchao's eyes darkened and deepened, and he had no choice but to circulate his internal energy to suppress the restlessness within his body.
However, with Si Yi and the others escorting them this time, nothing else happened along the way, and the group returned to the capital safely in the evening.
Wen Nongnong woke up with her eyes lowered and got up from Gu Linchao's lap, but noticed that his face was flushed abnormally. She couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Is Your Highness feeling unwell?"
Gu Linchao glanced at her and shook his head. "No."
Wen Nongnong was somewhat skeptical, but since he was unwilling to say, there was nothing she could do. Nevertheless, she said, "When we return to the manor, Your Highness must have someone summon the imperial physician to examine you."
"Okay," Gu Linchao replied gently.
As soon as the carriage came to a stop in front of the Prince's Mansion, Steward Chen, Wang Houde, Lü Qiao, and others were already waiting.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Upon seeing the two people emerge from the carriage, everyone immediately bowed.
