Yu Xing felt a little guilty and quickly tried to turn her face away.
It was better to have one less trouble than one more.
The relationship between Chu Qianli and the Prince was already very bad.
If any more trouble arose, it was uncertain if the two could still cooperate well.
"It's nothing, I was just careless..."
"Do you think my medical skills were learned for nothing?" After cleaning the wound, she discovered it was a scratch from fingernails.
It was so deep! The person who did this was truly ruthless!
"Feng Ling?"
"Princess! Please don't inquire further! I don't care about this face." Yu Xing tried to push her hand away.
Chu Qianli, however, said coldly, "Your Prince might not like an ugly monster constantly lingering in front of him. He might even drive you out of the manor because you're too ugly."
Yu Xing quickly retracted the hand she had extended.
The Prince disliked ugly monsters? She didn't know about this!
She thought that as long as her martial arts were good and she could do things, the Prince would definitely like her.
Would the Prince really drive her away?
Chu Qianli almost rolled her eyes; this person was truly simple to the extreme.
"Why did Feng Ling hit you?" she asked, applying medicine to Yu Xing's face, bit by bit.
Yu Xing moved her lips; she hadn't wanted to talk about this.
Chu Qianli's expression darkened, feigning displeasure. "I can also threaten people. If you don't tell me, do you want to try?"
"Princess..."
"For example, your secret."
Yu Xing's shoulders drooped completely. Suddenly, she felt so tired.
"So, this secret of mine will ultimately become my fatal flaw."
"So, Feng Ling also knows you are a girl?" Chu Qianli frowned.
Yu Xing hesitated for a moment before nodding.
She explained the events of the night to Chu Qianli, focusing on the key points.
As she finished explaining, Chu Qianli had just finished applying the medicine and placed a band-aid on her face.
Yu Xing was unaccustomed to it and tried to remove it. Chu Qianli said indifferently, "If I find you have taken it off before dawn tomorrow, I will tell Feng Ye Xuan your secret."
"Princess!" Yu Xing was truly helpless.
Although she knew it was a joke, she also knew that Chu Qianli was not one to joke around.
If pushed too far, she might actually reveal her secret.
"What? Is carrying a secret very tiring?"
Chu Qianli poured herself a cup of water.
The tea was already cold, and she could only swallow it with difficulty.
"Since it's so tiring, why don't you choose to be honest with your Prince? You are capable and skilled in martial arts. Is it just because you are a woman that he won't want you anymore?"
It was fine if he didn't want her.
If Feng Ye Xuan didn't want her, she did, was that okay?
Yu Xing's Qinggong was very impressive, and her tracking ability was something Chu Qianli admired.
"The Prince detests women using excuses to get close to him..."
"Are you?" Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not! Although the Prince is peerlessly handsome, I... I truly just want to serve the Prince and repay his life-saving grace from years ago. Beyond that, I have absolutely no other thoughts about the Prince!"
When necessary, she could swear to it.
Chu Qianli glanced at her and poured herself another cup of water.
She drank two large cups in a row, finally replenishing the hydration she had lost tonight.
"Actually, even if you are a woman, he might not necessarily dislike you. It's you yourself who dares not to face it."
Chu Qianli put down the cup. Just as Yu Xing was about to speak, her eyes suddenly flickered, and her expression turned serious: .oγg
"From Bei Ming to Nan Ming, you have been by your Prince's side all along this journey, haven't you?"
Yu Xing nodded.
Chu Qianli's gaze deepened further. "During this journey, has he ever been poisoned?"
