The girl cried and wanted to tear off scraps of cloth from her clothes to make bandages, but the reality was that riding clothes were not made of silk like ordinary palace clothes, and were light, thin and fragile.
The more I couldn't tear it off, the more anxious I became, and tears of anger fell from my eyes.
Qiao Yu's behavior made Yan Qu feel both amused and distressed.
The girl stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face. Yan Qu then realized that the girl's face was already covered with dust and there were also blood marks on her hands from being strangled by the reins.
The sight of blood made Yan Qu's heart skip a beat. He quickly stopped her from tearing the cloth and pulled Qiao Yu's hand over to check it. The deep marks on the girl's fair and tender hands looked very scary.
"My hand is fine, I need to bandage your leg first..."
Before Qiao Yu could say anything, Yan Qu glared at her fiercely, and she fell silent in frustration.
Compared to his previous embarrassing unsuccessful attempt to tear the cloth, Yan Qu seemed to have torn off the corner of the clothes with just a little force. Qiao Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart:
If it's so easy, why didn't you bandage it yourself?
"There's no medicine for the time being, and I'm worried it'll get inflamed and leave scars. The scar removal glue I have is incredibly effective, and I'll send it to you when the time comes. Don't worry about leaving scars."
Not only was Yan Qu very careful with his movements, fearing to hurt her, but his tone was also very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
He knew how much women valued their looks, especially a girl as beautiful as Qiao Yu.
As soon as the bandage was tied, Qiao Yu quickly withdrew her hand. Yan Qu's eyes darkened. He just didn't want to touch her...
Qiao Yu's eyes never left Yan Qu. From the change in Yan Qu's expression just now, he could guess what Yan Qu was thinking.
It was this man in front of her who had warned Hua Yunlan not to have any improper thoughts. Now that she has obeyed, she is still dissatisfied.
"It's just a scar. Prince An should take care of his own injury first."
Of course, it's not just about getting scars. Qiao Yu cares more about her appearance than ordinary women. However, when she said this, she was naturally rejecting unnecessary contact in the future.
There was no tense atmosphere when they fell just now, but now it was a word from Qiao Yu that brought the atmosphere to freezing point.
"I have overstepped my bounds. I hope Concubine Hua will not take it to heart."
They were all smart people, and Yan Qu naturally understood what the girl meant. He couldn't help but sneer, and said nothing more as he quickly bandaged the wound on his leg.
After the bandage was done, Yan Qu looked at the height of the pit and its distance from the camp. He thought it would take some time for the people from the palace to come.
Although his legs are not broken now, he may not be able to go up alone, let alone with Qiao Yu.
I had to close my eyes to conserve my energy.
Here at the camp:
Qiu Zixue was about to rush over to meet Yan Fu's horse when she saw him, but unexpectedly Hua Yunya was one step ahead of her. Tears welled up in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, have you found my sister? Why hasn't she returned yet at this late hour? Could it be..."
It was thanks to Qiao Yu that Hua Yunyao could come to Mulan Paddock this time, but even though she came, she avoided the limelight and didn't hang around in front of Yan Fu. But as soon as she got the chance, she came out to show her presence.
Hua Yunya came over quickly, carrying the wind with her. The strong scent of powder on her body filled Yan Fu. Adding to her curse on Qiao Yu, Yan Fu scolded her coldly:
"Is it so hard for you to hope for the best for Concubine Hua? It seems that this time I should let you reflect on your actions in the palace!"
Hua Yunyao was in trouble, and seeing Yan Fu angry, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Yan Fu came back once just now, but couldn't find Qiao Yu. He thought that she had finally left the palace and was lying down to play a little, so he didn't think much about it and went to look for her along the original route.
I looked for her but couldn't find her. I thought she had come back first, but I didn't expect Qiao Yu hadn't come back yet.
Yan Fu felt uneasy for some reason. He ignored Hua Yunya's hypocritical attitude and turned to ask others:
"Has anyone seen Concubine Hua?"
Qiu Zixue finally had the opportunity to step forward and say:
"Your Majesty came back once just now, but when she couldn't find Your Majesty, she left again. Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already sent someone to look for her. They should be able to find her soon."
Qiu Zixue was calm and composed, handled things prudently, and didn't care about Qiao Yu's daily harsh criticism at all, which made people unable to help but praise her:
This is what a good wife should be like.
But Qiu Zixue didn't wait for Yan Fu's praise, but instead blamed him:
"Since you saw Concubine Hua coming back, why don't you stop her and just wait for me here? Concubine Hua is young and if she doesn't see me worrying about her, she will become unstable. Why don't you try to persuade her?"
Qiu Zixue felt extremely aggrieved by this. She felt that she was not steady enough because she did not look favorably upon Concubine Hua. However, Yan Fu's heart was as far as the Pacific Ocean.
She had been deceiving herself that Yan Fu was just playing around with Qiao Yu.
Seeing that she remained silent, Liu Xinyao secretly called her an idiot, but she still stepped forward to defend Qiu Zixue:
"Sister Qiu has advised Concubine Hua, but she misunderstood that you had bad intentions, so you can't stop the Concubine."
Yan Fu was no longer in the mood to care about what happened. Right now, he only wanted to know if Qiao Yu was safe.
"Chai Guihe obeys orders."
Chai Guihe, who was in charge of the safety of the hunt, stepped forward and said, "I am here."
"We must find Concubine Hua. If she suffers any damage, she will no longer be able to wear the official hat of the third rank."
"I obey the order."
As the sky grew darker, the moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, and from time to time there were a few wolf howls around them.
Although it was normal to have wolves in the enclosure, Qiao Yu was really a little scared. After all, she had only seen wild animals like wolves on TV.
Qiao Yu couldn't help but move herself closer to Yan Qu. Naturally, this small action of hers did not escape Yan Qu's eyes. Yan Qu just half-closed his eyes and did not stop her.
"Yan Qu, can you...can you please stop talking?"
