Seeing that Ye Jingxuan's expression was not good, she hurriedly asked: "How are you?"
Xiao Yunchu went to help him up and saw that the shirt on his back was torn and stained red with blood.
Not far away, there was a sharp stone with blood on it.
It must have been hit when it fell down just now.
"You...you're hurt."
Xiao Yunchu was a little panicked and wanted to check his injuries.
Ye Jingxuan held her arm and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Just be fine."
Xiao Yunchu couldn't help but blush after hearing this. If Ye Jingxuan hadn't sacrificed his life to save her, she would have been injured as well.
At this time, someone came over with guards, it was Xiao Yunchu's brother Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue had just left the palace in the morning when he heard a report from his servants that someone was riding a horse in the street and hurting people. He rushed over to check.
Seeing his sister and Ye Jingxuan together, he frowned and said, "What's going on? Who is riding a horse in the street?"
Xiao Yunchu said: "My horse was frightened, and Ye Jingxuan saved me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep voice was heard: "Her horse was frightened because she was riding. Your majestic princess is riding her horse in the street without caring about the safety of the people. I don't know what crime she deserves?"
Xiao Yunchu widened his eyes and wanted to explain, then Xiao Jue asked: "Are you riding a horse on the street?"
She lowered her head and bit her lip and said, "I didn't mean it."
Xiao Chengyi snorted: "She didn't mean it, she just lost her temper. Because of your temporary anger, the capital was in chaos and the people suffered heavy losses.
You also made Ye Jingxuan injured because he saved you, don't you feel guilty?
Even if Yan Yan is unruly and willful, he will not be as unreasonable as you."
Xiao Yunchu was disgraced by his rebuke, tears welling up in his eyes.
Ye Jingxuan felt sorry for her and said hurriedly: "She was also frightened. Just stop talking."
"Why, she was frightened. Doesn't she need to deal with the mistakes she made?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at Xiao Jue and said, "She is your sister, you can handle it."
Xiao Jue frowned and said, "The state has national laws and the family has family rules. Even if you make a mistake as a princess, you should be punished."
He said to Xiao Yunchu: "The losses suffered by the people today are all on your head. You go and apologize to the people, and then go and admit your mistake to the emperor."
Xiao Yunchu sniffed and responded: "I know."
She stood up, wiped away her tears, and walked toward the street.
Xiao Jue sent two guards to follow him. He walked up to Ye Jingxuan, saluted and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for saving my sister."
Ye Jingxuan waved his hands hurriedly. In fact, it was Xiao Chengyi who gave him this opportunity to save Chu Chu.
He was really afraid that he didn't have the ability, but fortunately, he had a near-miss.
Seeing that his wound was still bleeding, Xiao Jue said, "This injury looks quite serious. It's better to go back and take care of it as soon as possible."
Ye Jingxuan was worried about Chu Chu, he said: "Is your punishment too severe?"
Xiao Jue said: "She has been spoiled, so she should suffer a little. You don't have to worry."
In fact, he did this for the benefit of his sister. If he protected her, the big problem would become a trivial one.
With Xiao Chengyi's temperament, he would definitely not give up. If he sued his father, Chu Chu would inevitably receive a severe beating.
Therefore, it is better for her to work hard to deal with the aftermath, so that even if she gets into trouble in front of her father, she won't be punished too severely.
The key is to satisfy Xiao Chengyi. He is a person who cannot tolerate disdain in his eyes. Let alone his cousin, his sister will still be punished if she makes a mistake.
Even Mu Yun'an was punished by him, which shows that this person is upright and not easy to fool.
