"What are you doing?" the young guard asked as he stepped forward.
"My princess must have gone out with the prince and young master, and she hasn't returned yet. I'm really worried about her."
Upon hearing this, the young guard asked, "Do you know how long they've been gone?"
"They've been gone ever since I brought you your food."
The young guard was also puzzled. He looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, that shouldn't be the case. They should have been back by now, otherwise they wouldn't have made it to the inn by nightfall, and the road would be difficult to travel."
Xiaolian asked anxiously, "Could something have happened?"
The guard rolled his eyes at her and said disdainfully, "What are you worried about? Our prince is highly skilled in martial arts. He is a war god, and everyone is afraid of him. With our prince around, what danger could possibly occur?"
"That's good, that's good." Xiaolian patted her chest.
"Seriously, what fun thing did they run into? They didn't even take us with them, humph!" The little guard put his hands on his hips, looking indignant.
Xiao Lian was speechless and disgusted, but after hearing what he said, she felt relieved. Moreover, she knew the princess's playful nature, and guessed that the two of them were also held up by the princess, which was why they hadn't returned yet.
"I'll go into the carriage to rest first; they should be back soon." With that, Xiaolian turned and got into the carriage.
The young guard wanted to chat with her some more, but she left quickly. She seemed to be in a hurry just now. The young guard, who was alone with a woman, didn't dare to go in.
Lin Ziwen led Su Lixia up, but the trees were quite far apart. It was manageable for one person, but it was a bit difficult with Su Lixia.
Yi Zexuan walked very fast, and Lin Ziwen couldn't keep up.
"Well... anyway, we can see the direction now, why don't we rest for a bit before continuing? I'm a bit heavy, thank you for your trouble." Su Lixia frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. If she hadn't wanted to go for a walk, none of this would have happened.
"It's all because I'm too fat, it's so tiring!" Su Lixia lamented to herself.
"It's okay, let's go back early, I can manage."
Lin Ziwen took a breath, hugged Su Lixia tightly, and used his lightness skill to follow Yi Zexuan.
Yi Zexuan sensed that there was no more movement behind him, so he waited silently in place, preparing to continue once they were almost caught up.
"You go ahead, don't worry about us," Lin Ziwen called out to him.
But because of that shout, Lin Ziwen seemed to lose his breath and couldn't stand steadily when he reached another tree.
"Ah, ah, ah..." Su Lixia was standing at the back and couldn't stand steadily, her body kept leaning backward.
Lin Ziwen was startled and tried to grab her, but the area of contact was too small, so neither of them could stand and they fell down.
Fortunately, Lin Ziwen shielded Su Lixia with his arm, and she was lucky that she didn't hit her head.
"Oh my god!" Su Lixia clutched her buttocks, her face contorted in pain, groaning and groaning.
Lin Ziwen must have been in a lot of pain after falling from such a height, but he still asked about Su Lixia's condition first.
"Get up." Yi Zexuan walked over and extended his hand to Lin Ziwen.
Seeing this, Lin Ziwen grasped his hand and used it to stand up.
Where did you fall? Are you alright?
Lin Ziwen shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but the princess doesn't seem to be doing very well."
Su Lixia struggled to her feet, frowning as she said, "I...I'm alright, let's hurry up and get out of here, it's getting late."
"Oh my!" Su Lixia had just finished speaking when Yi Zexuan picked her up in his arms, but he accidentally touched her wound and couldn't help but let out a howl.
"I'll take her and go first, is that alright?" Yi Zexuan asked.
"Okay." Lin Ziwen nodded in agreement.
