Yu Shuyue was at a loss for a moment while holding the man. She saved the man in a fit of enthusiasm, but the man in her arms seemed to have difficulty moving. His wheelchair had fallen into a pond not far away, so she could only hold him temporarily.
The man asked slightly awkwardly.
The girl's voice was soft, which was in huge contrast to the way she was hugging him, a grown man. Seeing her fair and delicate face gradually turning red, he suddenly woke up.
"I'm fine, thank you girl, please let me down."
Yu Shuyue breathed a small sigh of relief after hearing this. The man looked sickly and weak. Although his face was pale, his face was handsome and his posture was elegant. He did not look embarrassed at all due to the incident just now.
She carefully put the man down and let him lean against the tree trunk nearby.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Shaoyao was originally going to accompany Yu Shuyue to the garden in front to enjoy the flowers with the official ladies.
But just now she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, less than half a quarter of an hour after leaving, her young lady was hugging a grown man.
Although Qi's folk customs are open, her young lady is a girl after all, hugging a grown man like this. Shaoyao is afraid that her master and young master will go crazy if they find out about it. After all, they both regard Yu Shuyue as if they are eyeballs.
Protecting, if you knew this, it would be okay.
"I'm fine."
Although the man in front of her was thin, he was not light in weight. Yu Shuyue supported Qi Xiuyao with one hand and waved her other hand.
"Sorry, thank you girl."
Qi Xiuyao looked at her small movements of shaking hands and knew that he, a big man, had put such a burden on such a petite body like hers. He had a guilty expression on his face, feeling very self-blame.
"Your Highness, are you okay? It's all my fault for being careless. Please punish me."
Lin Si did not expect that at the last moment a little girl would come and rescue the prince. He did not complete the task assigned by the queen. At this time, he hated this nosy girl with itch.
But there are outsiders present at this moment, and no matter how little Qi Xiuyao is ignored by the emperor, no matter how much his real master targets Qi Xiuyao, he is just a servant.
And Qi Xiuyao is the prince, so he can't be arrogant anymore, after all, he has to have superficial skills.
Looking at Lin Si who knelt down in front of him, Qi Xiuyao didn't even look at him. He leaned against the tree and prepared to reach out to help Yu Shuyue rub her sore arm.
But just as he stretched out his hand, he saw Yu Shuyue, who was kindly supporting his arm just now, suddenly moved her arm, took two steps back, and opened the distance between them. A surprised expression flashed across her face.
, and then he and Shaoyao saluted him.
"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince, and I've been very offended just now."
Yu Shuyue never thought that the weak man in front of her was actually the current prince, and she had seen everything just now clearly, and everything was done by this slave.
She has been extra cautious in everything she does since she returned to the capital, but this does not mean that she can just stand by and watch a person with limited mobility being tortured by her own servants, so she meddles in other people's business.
But he didn't expect that the other party was actually the prince. It seemed that the rumors were not groundless. The prince of the East Palace was indeed unpopular. There was only a servant following him, and he was someone with different intentions.
"Girl, get up, no need to salute. I should be the one thanking you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be here safely at this moment."
When Qi Xiuyao said the first half of his sentence, he had a warm smile on his face. Before he finished speaking, he glanced coldly at Lin Si who was kneeling on the ground.
Lin Si felt a sudden chill running down his spine, and a sense of panic suddenly rose in his heart. He subconsciously looked up at Qi Xiuyao, who was leaning against the tree.
The man leaning against the tree was dressed in white, his face was still sickly pale, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. When Lin Si's slightly panicked eyes met Qi Xiuyao's calm eyes, his heart pounded.
The ground tightened.
It was a look that Lin Si had never seen on Qi Xiuyao in the past three months. The flash of killing intent in his eyes almost made him think that he was hallucinating.
But he knew that he was not wrong, and he indeed felt it.
But, isn't Qi Xiuyao just a useless prince? He is usually so thin that a gust of wind can knock him down. When did he have such a ruthless side?
"What are you doing kneeling here? Do you want to keep leaning against this tree alone?"
Lin Si was frightened by his previous look and was a little stunned. When he heard his words, he couldn't think of anything else and quickly got up from the ground to call someone.
Yu Shuyue glanced at Lin Si who hurriedly ran to call someone, and then quietly glanced at the man leaning on the tree. She involuntarily pursed her lips, opened her lips slightly, and finally closed her mouth.
.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, you can say it directly without being reserved."
"It's okay. Your Highness, would you like to sit aside and wait?"
Yu Shuyue didn't want to meddle any more, but she couldn't leave Qi Xiuyao here as a patient now, so she could only ask respectfully.
"Okay, thank you." Qi Xiuyao did not refuse her polite inquiry.
Yu Shuyue and Shaoyao helped him to sit in front of a stone bench aside, while she herself stood aside a little cautiously.
After a while, Lin Si returned to the back garden with a new wheelchair and several other servants. When Yu Shuyue saw this, she stood up and said goodbye and left.
Qi Xiuyao looked at the girl's retreating back, and slowly raised his knuckled palms and placed them on his left chest.
For some reason, when he saw her leaving, he felt a sense of depression, inexplicable irritability and panic.
Qi Xiuyao's palm hanging by the side slowly clenched into a fist, and his nails dug into the palm of his hand. The pain in his palm reminded him of his rationality.
Lin Si looked at Qi Xiuyao with a cold face and a somewhat unpredictable look in his eyes. This was completely different from the Crown Prince he had seen in the past three months.
In the past three months, no matter how much he acted as a slave, no matter how he acted, no matter how he made some probing moves, he still looked like a sick man and ignored him.
At this time, Qi Xiuyao did not look like the weak and incompetent person in the rumors. Lin Si couldn't help but become a little nervous, especially when the man's indifferent eyes moved to her at the end. At that moment, Lin Si knew that he was finished. This chapter has been completed!
