Chapter 133: On the knowledge of choosing a princess
When Mrs. Qu finally waited for Lin Wan to come back, she found that she was sent back by Lord An.
The young man walked in calmly, and when his eyes fell, he bowed politely to her, because he was too tall, he seemed a little restrained in this small tent.
His eyes turned around in the tent, and for some reason, he frowned slightly, and finally walked to the bedside, turning around in Qu Shuning's surprised and unreasonable eyes.
Mrs. Qu saw at a glance the large black cloak on his back, bulging, not knowing what was inside.
"okay."
His tone was casual, "You can come out."
Then the cape was slowly lifted, revealing a pair of smart eyes, and the girl's delicate face was very familiar.
- Lin Wan.
Her gentle, docile, understanding niece.
Mrs. Qu finally knew why the maid had such a hesitant expression when she sent people in.
After all, in the middle of the night, Miss Biao leaned on the man's back and returned to the tent, what could be good.
......
Huo Xingxing put her down from her back, and as soon as Lin Wan touched the bed, she quickly took off the big cloak on her body and gave it back to him.
"Need not."
The boy avoided his hand and said casually, "Give it to you."
When he straightened up, his eyes touched the girl's ankle again. The white socks were still stained with a little blood. The contrast was stark. looks like,
"I just brought an extra bottle. It can be wiped for any scratches or sprains. I'll give it to you too."
In fact, when the porcelain bottle was thrown on the bed, because Huo Xingxing's strength was a little stronger, it was thrown directly to the side of Qu Shuning. The little girl was stunned for a moment, and when she heard the first half of the sentence, her face unconsciously stained with joy, but the next second, As soon as that "also" came out, her joy froze on her face, which turned into embarrassment and loss.
Lin Wan picked up the porcelain bottle, curled her lips, and said in a sincere tone.
"Thank you, Lord An."
The young man coughed awkwardly.
"Don't thank me, it's not worth much anyway."
...certainly not worth much.
The genius doctor Yang Lao personally prepared it. Except for the two or three copies in Huo Xingxing's hands, there is no other similar wound medicine in the world. Naturally, you don't want to buy it with money.
However, the self-respecting Huo Xingxing would not say such words.
He sent Lin Wan back to the tent, and after throwing away the bottle of wound medicine, he realized that he had completed the task, so he turned around, raised his feet and walked out.
"Then the king is gone, you can do it yourself. If you don't apply the medicine properly and become a lame man, or if you go out hunting and break your hand, this king is not responsible."
What he said did not seem to be comforting, but more like a warning. And after speaking, Mrs. He Qu nodded lightly, and disappeared at the tent door without any reluctance, even her back showed a bit of arrogance.
Neither greeting the other wounded, nor explaining to Madam Qu why she was with Lin Wan in the middle of the night, this is the style of An Xiaowang.
Lin Wan looked at his disappearing back, and then looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand. In the end, she still raised her lips slightly, with a very shallow smile in her eyes.
......
"Wanwan."
Mrs. Qu had been silent for a while, and now she was gone, and she finally couldn't help but speak, her tone barely kept soft, but her eyes couldn't help but cool down.
"What happened to you and Shu Ning tonight, why did Shu Ning fall off the cliff and you came back so late? And still," she paused and sighed, "it was sent back by Young Prince An. "
What happened to her and Qu Shuning?
Lin Wan thought it was funny.
She didn't provoked all of this. She suffered these injuries and was sent back by Prince An so late. It wasn't because of Qu Shuning.
But my aunt looked questioning, and the expression in her eyes seemed to be full of disapproval and accusations against her, as if everything was her fault.
Why?
Lin Wan actually knew in her heart that it was not the time to completely turn against the Qu family, but for some reason, maybe she was infected by the unrestrained and unscrupulous attitude of the young man, and at this moment, she was a little bit capricious out of thin air.
So the girl pursed her lips, her expression was very light, and her tone was even lighter.
"These words, when my aunt asked me what to do, it's better to ask Shu Ning. I think she must know better than me. Anyway, I don't know everything."
After speaking, she limped to the door and instructed the maid standing outside the curtain to draw her a basin of water to clean the wound, and then apply a medicine according to the "doctor's order".
Madam Qu touched a soft nail and stood there in shock.
Because Lin Wan had never treated her with such an attitude before, she didn't even have time to think about it, her anger already welled up in her eyes, her expression suddenly turned cold, and her tone was stern,
"Lin Wan......"
"mother!"
Qu Shuning interrupted her suddenly.
Her voice was loud and hurried, with a few hints of crying, which immediately frightened Mrs. Qu.
"What's wrong? But the back injury hurts again? Or the medicine hasn't been applied? Or..."
"neither."
The little girl lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone, "Go back first. I'll come to you when it's dawn. Now, I'm really tired."
......
It was probably because Qu Shuning had been lively and laughing since she was a child. This was the first time she showed such a negative side in front of her mother. Madam Qu was stunned for a while, thinking of her daughter's strange demeanor when Prince An was there, and was silent for a while. , still nodding,
"Okay, then you rest for a while. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Mrs. Qu quickly left.
The curtain was pulled open and closed again.
Qu Shuning stayed on the bed quietly, watching the maid come in and out, clean the wound, apply the wound medicine, and finally helped Lin Wan to the other side of the bed.
It was not until the last two of them were left in the tent that she spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Cousin, I'm sorry."
Lin Wan didn't look up, her tone was light,
"nothing."
"But cousin, I have something to ask you... don't worry, it's not to beg your ancestors."
The little girl gave a wry smile, her eyes were serious,
"I, from now on, will never interfere in your affairs with Prince An again. I hope that no matter what I do in the future, you will not interfere in my affairs with Wang Li, okay?"
Lin Wan raised her head and looked at her silently.
"Cousin, I beg you, I really, really, really don't want to marry Wang Li."
... This sentence is really familiar.
The girl hooked her lips,
"I remember that when you returned from the Queen Mother's rejection of marriage, you also said this to me."
—Cousin, I beg you, I really, really don’t want to marry Prince An!
"But my cousin..."
"do not worry."
She raised her eyes, "I won't interfere in the affairs between you and Wang Li."
"But I don't interfere in the affairs between you and Wang Li, not because you said you won't interfere in the affairs between me and Prince An, but from that day onwards, Wang Li has nothing to do with me, and the affairs between you and Wang Li, Naturally, it has nothing to do with me at all, so I have no obligation and no right to intervene. I say this, do you understand?"
......clear.
It's not just talking about her, it's warning herself.
From that day on, I had nothing to do with Prince An.
She has no right to interfere in Lin Wan and Huo Xingchao's affairs, she is just an irrelevant stranger.
Qu Shuning lowered her head, her tone was soft,
"I know."
......
In fact, she may not like Huo Xingchao much.
It's just that when he found out that he was better than he expected, he felt sorry for the missed opportunity and obsessed with not being able to get it.
This kind of regretful obsession is getting deeper and deeper in his unwillingness, and because Huo Xingchao's fiancee has become his cousin, he can't help but feel desire and jealousy.
Desire and jealousy are the beginning of love.
- This is human nature.
She understands, she also understands that this time, she can't compete with her cousin no matter what, even if she is unwilling, she has to hold back.
Qu Shuning pulled the quilt over and quietly wiped away the tears that leaked out accidentally.
......
The cliff fall accident shocked countless people, but for Qu Shuning, she was not seriously injured at all. When she returned on the fourth day, her injuries were almost healed.
As for Lin Wan, except for the dislocated elbow, it was more difficult to get better. In fact, the other places were also slightly injured.
And the night before the camp set off back to the capital, Prince An sent someone to look for her.
He said he wanted to talk to her.
The dispatched subordinates repeated what Prince An said.
The phrasing is very decent, and it doesn't look like what Prince An would say at all.
Lin Wan was full of doubts.
But as soon as she recognized this subordinate, she had delivered food to Prince An that night.
Second, the meeting place was in Prince An's tent, which was absolutely impossible to fake.
So she thought about it again and again and went to the appointment.
The young man was sitting at the table playing chess, holding black in his left hand and white in his right hand.
Hearing the sound, he put down the chess piece in his hand and turned his head slightly.
"Miss Lin is here."
He curled his lips and smiled, his eyes were warm and his tone was very gentle, like a modest gentleman who was spotless.
He says,
"Hello, Miss Lin."
...?
