"This servant understands, Your Highness," Bai Lu nodded earnestly to Ji Fengyao and said, "This servant will take good care of Sister Lin Shuang. We'll be going now."
"Hmm," Ji Fengyao nodded, still not entirely at ease, and said to Hu Ji, "Take a few people with you and go with Bai Lu. Make sure to protect her safety."
"Yes, Your Highness," Hu Ji replied.
Bai Lu did not personally take Lin Shuang from Simeng and Siyi's hands, but said to Hu Ji, "Brother Hu Ji, I'm afraid I can't carry Sister Lin Shuang by myself. Please bring a stretcher and carry Sister Lin Shuang into the city."
Hu Ji smiled shyly at Bai Lu and said, "You don't need to do such heavy work, Miss. Just come along and leave everything else to us."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang was so angry she almost fainted:
Helping her up is hardly considered heavy work!
Bai Lu was just a maid!
Their status and identity are the same as hers!
Why do you talk like you're superior to her?
And that bandit, despite his superb medical skills, didn't even come to take her pulse and treat her when she fainted. He just spouted high-sounding words, showing how cold-blooded and heartless he was.
She was truly blind before, actually thinking of serving that bandit for life!
Bai Lu and Hu Ji, along with several guards, quickly escorted Lin Shuangtai, who was filled with resentment, away.
Shang Xiye, holding Ji Fengyao's hand, turned around again, preparing to leave.
Wuhen and Xique also turned and left, ignoring Princess Zhaoping and Granny Zheng who were still standing there.
Princess Zhaoping: "..."
Granny Zheng: "..."
Simeng and Siyi: "..."
Princess Zhaoping tried to hold back, but her eyes still welled up with tears, and her lips trembled as if she were about to cry.
Granny Zheng, exasperated, shoved Princess Zhaoping and forced out two words through gritted teeth: "Princess!"
Granny Zheng gripped her hand quite hard, and Princess Zhaoping was hurt by her grip. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed, "Your Highness, what about me? What should I do?"
Hearing these useless, beggar-like words, Simeng and Siyi couldn't help but raise their hands to their foreheads.
Oh my god!
If they could take action, they promised not to kill this stupid, cowardly, and useless fellow!
"Didn't I send Wuying to arrange for someone to take you back?" Shang Xiye said without turning his head.
Princess Zhaoping cried and stamped her feet in distress: "Your Highness, I have already said that if I go back now, it will be disobeying the imperial decree, which is a serious crime!"
"Then you will stay in Fengcheng like Lin Shuang for now. You can go back after I return to the capital." As he spoke, Shang Xiye had already led the little bandit away.
Princess Zhaoping was about to chase after them.
Two soldiers, holding long spears, crossed the spear tips to block Princess Zhaoping, saying expressionlessly, "This is a military stronghold; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
Princess Zhaoping: "!!!"
She felt as if a hundred thousand bombs were buried in her chest, making her so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot, but she couldn't lose her composure.
Even though Shang Xiye rubbed her face on the ground from beginning to end, she couldn't rub her own face on the ground!
After all, she was still a princess of a nation!
Have some self-respect and dignity!
Not long after, Wuying arrived with a squad of soldiers. With a stern face, he said in a businesslike manner, "Princess Zhaoping, these men are all highly skilled. They will escort you back to the capital, ensuring your safety without any mishaps."
"roll!"
Princess Zhaoping finally lost her temper and cursed, her face contorted as she roared. She turned around, crying, and went back to the carriage, speeding towards Fengcheng.
