Confused, the Crown Prince strode into the bookstore.
When he went in, he found that there had been an accident in the bookstore. He went up and asked, "Who is trapped inside?"
Noticing the other party’s powerful aura and extraordinary clothes, the shopkeeper said respectfully, "I didn't see it clearly. It was a lady…"
"Get out of the way." The Crown Prince’s voice sank.
The crowd was taken aback by his aura and moved aside accordingly. The Crown Prince then knocked gently on the door and asked, "Linlang, are you in there?"
In the darkness, the Crown Princess turned around, looked at the bookshelf in front of her, then at the door of the room tightly blocked by it. She replied, "I'm here."
The Crown Prince pushed the door, but to no avail.
The shopkeeper said, "It's no use. The bookshelf inside fell down, which blocks the door from being opened."
The Crown Prince frowned and said, "Why aren’t you prying it open quickly?"
"This, aren’t we doing it already?" The shopkeeper actually wanted to hit it with an ax, but he was worried that he might accidentally hurt the people inside. contemporary romance
The Crown Prince wouldn’t deploy the dark guards around him unless he had no other choice, but now he couldn’t think of anything else. He was worried about the Crown Princess being trapped inside for a long time.
He ordered the dark guards to show themselves.
The two dark guards were imperial experts, and a single door posed no difficulty to them. They quickly tore down the door and removed the first bookshelf that stood in the doorway.
The Crown Prince hurriedly reached out to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess took his hand and walked out from among the shattered ink sticks.
The Crown Prince looked her up and down and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
The Crown Princess shook her head slightly, "I'm fine. I still have to wait for the sesame cakes to be baked, so I came here to buy some ink sticks for Little Seven in the meantime."
Qin Chuyu couldn’t use the ink sticks from the palace as it would easily expose his identity.
The Crown Prince didn't doubt her and said, "Just leave this kind of thing to your servants. Don't do it yourself again, if something happens to you, I will be sad."
The Crown Princess smiled guiltily, "It's my fault for making you worry."
The Crown Prince said, "I'm just glad you're okay. Let's go."
The Crown Prince didn't know that there was another person inside. The Crown Princess glanced at one spot of the room from the corner of her eye and said nothing.
The Crown Prince took the Crown Princess’s hand, threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, and stepped out of the bookstore.
When the shopkeeper got the ingot, he no longer felt sorry for the smashed door and a room full of broken bookshelf and ink sticks. He beamed and said, "Please take care, my Lord! Madame, walk slowly!"
Then he turned into the room and scratched his head. Looking around at the chaos inside, he muttered, "Huh? I remember just now there was another scholar who went in first... Hm? Why did this bookshelf fall down too? It shouldn’t have ah... "
This bookshelf should have been secured and steady as he didn’t put any heavy objects in it. Why did it fall down?
While he was thinking, Xiao Liulang bent out from under the second toppled bookshelf.
The shopkeeper was stunned, "There’s really, really someone else here..."
Xiao Liulang didn't say anything. He settled the bill for the ink sticks and gave out a little more money. The shopkeeper was about to ask what it was for when Xiao Liulang said, "For the damage."
The damaged second bookshelf.
The shopkeeper was shocked.
After meeting with Xu Zhouzhou’s relative, Little Jing Kong, accompanied by Xu Zhouzhou and the Xu Famiy’s servants, returned to the sesame cake shop to meet with Xiao Liulang.
Little Jing Kong was a meticulous child. He soon realized that something was wrong with his brother-in-law's hand.
He stopped and looked solemnly at Xiao Liulang's right hand, which was hanging down from within his wide sleeve, "What happened to your hand?"
"Nothing." Xiao Liulang said indifferently.
Little Jing Kong didn't believe it. He grabbed Xiao Liulang's sleeve and saw a red and swollen hand. His eyes instantly widened, "It's all swollen! What did you do? Does it hurt?"
Xiao Liulang suddenly smiled and squeezed his little cheek, "You’re so concerned about me?"
Little Jing Kong slapped his hand away from his face and said grimly, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to pass the exam, alright? JiaoJiao bet on you to become the Zhuangyuan!
All my money is on it!"
Xiao Liulang:“…”
As soon as they arrived at the medical hall, Little Jing Kong quickly found Gu Jiao who was drying herbs in the backyard and told on his bad brother-in-law, "…I just shifted my gaze away from him for a while and he got himself injured!"
Gu Jiao put down the medicinal herbs in her hands and looked at Xiao Liulang who came over, "Where did you get hurt? Let me have a look." And said to Little Jing Kong, "Go and play with sister Jiang Li."
"Okay." Little Jing Kong obediently went to find Little Jiang Li.
Gu Jiao took Xiao Liulang to her small courtyard.
The medical hall had a consultation room, but it was for other people. He wasn't other people.
Xiao Liulang had been to the medical hall several times, but had never entered this room of Gu Jiao’s small courtyard. It didn’t look like a study. It only had simple furniture and a small bed for her to rest behind a screen.
The two people sat outside the screen.
The screen wasn’t a landscape painting or flowers and birds pattern that ordinary girls liked, but rather a plain light blue without any design.
Her preferences were always somewhat different.
Clearly, both of them lived under the same roof. But for some reason, this room, which belonged exclusively to Gu Jiao, gave Xiao Liulang the feeling that he had intruded into her boudoir.
Xiao Liulang’s eyes slightly heated up.
Gu Jiao rolled up his sleeve, and instead of putting his hand on a wrist cushion, she supported his wrist directly with her hand.
His wrist was swollen badly. She gently felt the bone, which had no problem.
She pinched the back of his hand next where there was also slight swelling, which should be due to the bruising at the wrist.
"Does it hurt?" She asked.
"It doesn't hurt." He answered.
Gu Jiao examined his fingers as well.
His hands were very good-looking, slim with long fingers, well-defined bones, cleanly repaired nails, and even the uninjured wrist bone was delicate as jade.
If this hand was placed in her previous world, it would be either a surgeon's hand or a pianist's hand.
Just how did it get injured?
Gu Jiao felt a little angry.
At home, she was reluctant to let him do heavy work for fear that he would hurt his hand.
"How did you get injured?" She asked.
In fact, they seldom asked each other such questions. When Gu Jiao treated his leg back then, she never asked how he was injured. When Gu Jiao got into a coma, he also didn't ask what kind of people Gu Jiao had crossed with. .c(o)m
Although they all learned the truth in the end, they didn't hear it from each other's mouth.
"Smashed by a bookshelf." Xiao Liulang said, "I didn't pay much attention at the time."
Gu Jiao looked at his red and swollen wrist and said with a frown, "Be more careful in the future."
Xiao Liulang nodded, "Okay."
Ice packs should be applied quickly to prevent the bruises from spreading.
Gu Jiao took an ice pack from her medicine chest and put it on his wrist. This kind of ice pack did not need to be frozen and crushed into ice. The disadvantage was that it couldn’t be reused.
Xiao Liulang was used to strange things appearing in her small medicine chest from time to time, and didn't ask where this ice pack came from.
She held his wrist with one hand and stuck an ice pack on his wrist with the other, changing spots from time to time. She looked serious and careful.
Xiao Liulang's eyes moved slightly. He held out his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
Gu Jiao raised the ice pack to avoid his hand, saying, "No, it's very cold."
Wouldn't your hand be cold then?
