She couldn't even compare to the male lead. At least he'd comforted her.
Although his comforting words were a bit strange, something like, pain, you'll get used to it!
That's right, was he comforting her just now? Was that why his expression was so strange?
Why would the male lead comfort her? So strange!
Bai Xiangxiu's heart was a bit chaotic, as if the plot had already deviated from its original path.
Obviously, the male lead should hate and like the female lead at the same time, sending people to chase after her. Why was he wasting time in this kind of place?
Could it be that the supporting male lead was injured, and he and the supporting male lead were a pair?
It was a mess. She reached out and forcefully rubbed her head, feeling that her brain wasn't enough to process all of this.
"Ah …" Moving her hand caused her shoulder to hurt again. This injury was truly a bit torturous.
She laid like this for another day before she was finally able to walk around. However, every step was extremely painful, so she was only able to walk around the room a few times before being helped to the carriage that had been prepared.
The back courtyard of the clinic shouldn't have been able to fit such a large and luxurious carriage, so she raised her head and glanced at the torn down main door. She deeply felt that being a rank higher than her was truly oppressive!
At this time, she finally saw the supporting male lead. His injuries weren't light, but he was able to move around freely.
As expected, people who practiced martial arts were different. She needed someone to help her, but he was able to walk out of the room on his own.
When he saw Bai Xiangxiu, he felt his heart tighten. There were some things that he should discuss with her. If she let it slip or deliberately hid it, that Prince would immediately sense something.
Holding the letter in his hand, he walked towards Bai Xiangxiu. Thinking about how she'd been so bold before, but had sent the wrong thing, he didn't know if he'd be as lucky as her this time.
Or rather, if he had the same courage as her.
"Is Mistress Xiu's injury better?" Taking advantage of the fact that Long Heng was mobilizing troops outside, this was his last chance.
"It's already much better. Where's Prince Song?" At least he was considerate. Bai Xiangxiu sighed in relief.
"I'm more or less healed. Today, we'll return to the capital together. Although the journey isn't far, please be careful, Madame Xiu." He bowed slightly. Only now did he realize how difficult it had been for the two of them to even be in contact.
"Thank you for your reminder, Young Master," Bai Xiangxiu subconsciously bowed, but she forgot that she was injured.
He groaned in pain, and Song Jiaoyue hurriedly reached out to support him. The two of them held each other's palms in their sleeves, but immediately separated. At that moment, his heart seemed to have stopped beating.
Bai Xiangxiu's body also stiffened, but she quickly recovered.
She very politely retreated a few steps. Just as she was about to automatically enter the carriage, she heard the male lead's voice loudly shout: "Wait."
She had just taken a step forward when her heart leaped into her throat. Even the Song Jiaoyue stopped and turned around.
He thought that if he was discovered, he would take full responsibility for it.
Their gazes met in the air for some inexplicable reason, but they immediately looked away. What was with this feeling of having an affair?
Bai Xiangxiu felt quite comforted after taking a look. At least the supporting male lead, Song Jiaoyue, didn't run away with a guilty conscience.
Everyone had the same mentality. If two people shared the burden of a disaster, they wouldn't be so afraid.
That was what she was thinking right now. Originally, she had been very afraid of being discovered by the male lead. Her entire body had turned cold, but now she relaxed a little.
At this moment, Long Heng walked over and angrily glared at the two mamas: "Why aren't you supporting your master?"
The two mamas weren't very old, only around thirty years old.
They hurriedly lowered their heads and knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness.
Long Heng took this opportunity to support her, then frowned: "Why is your body so cold?"
"This concubine … … this concubine also doesn't know." You were scared, but she couldn't say that.
"It's probably because you lost too much blood and haven't recovered yet," Long Heng explained for her.
"Ah … …" She was picked up, carried in a princess carry in front of so many people.
Bai Xiangxiu's face instantly turned red. It was a pity that her face was still a bit pale because of the blood loss.
Long Heng placed her in the carriage and sat across from her.
This carriage had been specially treated and was very soft. Sitting in it was just like sitting on a sofa.
Bai Xiangxiu curiously touched it, especially since there was a cushion in the back. She wasn't afraid that she would bump into it and get hurt again.
Long Heng raised the curtain and saw that Song Jiaoyue was still there. He said: "Do you need This King to help you?"
Song Jiaoyue's brows knit. He turned around and quickly got into the carriage.
Long Heng finally put down the curtain and said: "We can set out now."
The carriage driver drove the carriage away. Bai Xiangxiu didn't feel much of a shock.
Even if she did, she endured it because there was still a secret in her hand.
It wasn't until Long Heng left that she had the time to open the slip of paper to take a look.
There was only one line that described how she got hurt. It was when she went to deliver medicine to Song Jiaoyue that she was ambushed. That was all.
So it was like this. He was afraid that she would accidentally spill the beans. So he was hiding something from Long Heng.
But the male lead still believed the supporting male lead and didn't ask about what happened that day.
In reality, the male lead and the supporting male lead were very good friends. If it wasn't for the original female lead messing things up, they wouldn't have fallen out.
She hoped that her own matters wouldn't cause them to fall out, but she didn't know why she didn't have the same confidence as before.
Because the male lead had changed. Once he changed, the plot also became strange. She didn't know when it would get back on track.
After persevering for the entire journey, they finally returned to the palace.
Because she was only a concubine, there was naturally no one to welcome her.
Moreover, Long Heng wasn't the type of person to cause trouble for her. He'd gotten off the carriage the moment he entered the city and rode alone. Therefore, he'd gone to meet everyone in the manor first, leaving her to quietly return to the Winter Courtyard.
She rested for an entire day. Apart from the doctor, no one disturbed her. The Huo Er was very happy to see her return. Its little sprout had already grown to the size of a finger.
It was also the size of a palm. Ye-mama was taking care of it, but she didn't seem to like it.
So the Huo Er would complain to Ye-mama every day about how it was too ugly, how it had too many thorns, and why did Mistress Xiu like this kind of thing?
Bai Xiangxiu wanted to laugh, but she actually felt a sense of security as if she had returned home. This kind of feeling really shouldn't exist. How could this be her home?
Just as she was sitting and reading, someone knocked on the door.
Xiao Shi ran out to open the door. After a while, she entered the room and said, "Mistress Xiu, Spring Courtyard's First Madame and Summer Courtyard's Second Madame have come to see you."
"Oh, let them in!"
Since they had already come in, she couldn't just chase them away. So Bai Xiangxiu put down the book and bowed slightly.
The wound was scabbing over, so sometimes it was very itchy, but she couldn't scratch it.
She liked to move around on the chair with her back to ease the situation.
Once she moved, it would itch again. She couldn't help but bump into it, which made her frown.
Coincidentally, two fragrant beauties, the First Madame and Second Madame, came in. In terms of appearance, these two madames were indeed far inferior to her.
When a man took a concubine, he also wanted a virtuous person more than a beautiful one. However, they couldn't be ordinary and couldn't enter the palace.
