Qin Zhao is short and huddled up, like a small animal. Compared to ten days ago, her face is paler.
What Qin Zhao said in the study before sounded in Xiao Ce's ears. She said that she was having a hard time in Zhao's house, and she might be gone one day...
Qin Zhao didn't know that the person she was waiting for had arrived. She was drowsy and haunted by nightmares.
In the dream, she was giving birth, but she was in excruciating pain due to heavy bleeding. At one point, she thought she was about to die. Then someone held her hand and whispered in her ear, asking her to hold on a little longer.
This person is Xiao Ce.
The only tenderness he had for her in his whole life was that moment, right?
He was still wiping her sweat and told her it was just a nightmare.
When she opened her eyes in confusion, she saw Xiao Ce's expressionless face.
She thought she was in a dream and unconsciously reached out and touched his frosty face...
"How dare you, His Highness the Crown Prince, can touch your face?!" Zhang Jixiang's high-pitched voice rang out, startling Baoyu.
Qin Zhao's eyes widened, and he later realized that he was not in a dream.
She was in a hurry to get up, but she forgot that she was sitting on a bamboo chair. Because her movement was too big, she and the chair fell backwards, causing her to fall over.
Xiao Ce wanted to step forward to help her, but it was still a step too late.
The woman fell down in front of him, and the corners of her skirt turned up, revealing a pair of thin and white short legs. There was no beauty at all, but it inexplicably pleased him.
Zhang Jixiang didn't expect that there was such a clumsy woman in the world. He was about to scold her a few more times, but when he saw the faint smile flashing in the prince's eyes, he seemed to be struck by lightning and immediately forgot his actions.
Baoyu felt very distressed when she saw that her master had fallen. She stepped forward to help Qin Zhao up, "Did grandma fall?"
"It's okay." Qin Zhao endured the pain and stood up.
My ankle happened to hit the bamboo chair, and it hurt terribly. If nothing unexpected happened, it must have been swollen.
The next moment, Xiao Ce suddenly picked her up and carried her indoors.
Baoyu was dumbfounded, and Zhang Jixiang was also dumbfounded. The two of them froze in place, thinking that they were hallucinating.
Qin Zhao also did not expect to be hugged by Princess Xiao Ce in this situation. In fact, it is impossible for a person like Xiao Ce to hug a female princess, but the male face in front of him does belong to Xiao Ce.
She deliberately tried her luck here to see if she could wait for Xiao Ce, but she didn't expect to see Xiao Ce again in such a chaotic situation.
She really wanted to be more decent in front of Xiao Ce, but she didn't expect that it backfired.
"You are too light." Xiao Ce held the weightless woman in his arms and opened his lips indifferently.
"A civilian woman can leave on her own." Qin Zhao avoided Xiao Ce's words.
She is indeed light, but there is nothing she can do. This body cannot absorb anything she eats. She wants to take good care of her body, but she always feels like a terminally ill patient.
So she was eager to leave the Zhao Mansion.
Xiao Ce put her on the edge of the couch, and she said calmly: "Under the melon fields and plum blossoms, a commoner's wife should not be alone in the same room with His Royal Highness."
Xiao Ce didn't hear anything. He picked up the hem of her skirt and took off her embroidered shoes. When he saw the swollen ankles, he was not surprised at all.
At this time, Zhang Jixiang also followed in. When he saw this scene and the woman's bun that Qin Zhao combed, he felt that his head was big.
"Sir, why don't you ask a doctor to treat this lady? After all, people's words are scary." Zhang Jixiang reminded in a low voice.
