C43 The Gentle Prince Is Tempting

"That man just now was obviously a well-trained dark guard." Hsiang Xuanfei answered Jiegeng's question.

When Jiegeng was in a daze, the familiar voice made Jiegeng's heart palpitate.

"That is my hidden guard." Not far away, Duan Shuang's figure suddenly appeared.

"Your Highness." Jiegeng could not help but call out.

"I was frightened." Duan Shuang walked to Jiegeng's side and half-squatted to comfort Jiegeng who fell to the ground. "You are just bluffing. Why are you acting like a hero?" Obviously, the latter half of the sentence was filled with anger.

For some reason, Jiegeng's eyes turned red when she heard Duan Shuang's comforting words. Her nose ached and her tears fell.

She did not feel wronged in such a critical situation just now. What was wrong with her now? Jiegeng was very puzzled by the sudden release of emotions at this moment.

"Don't cry." Duan Shuang frowned slightly and immediately stretched out his hand to help Jiegeng up.

Jiegeng could only bite her lips and whimper. She opened her eyes wide and tried to stop her tears from flowing out.

Duan Shuang looked at her even more pitiful appearance and could only sigh. "If you want to cry then cry."

Only then did Jiegeng loosen her lips.

Supporting Duan Shuang's hand, Jiegeng, who was about to slowly get up, suddenly felt a piercing pain in her left ankle.

"Ah!" Jiegeng could not help but exclaim softly. Because she lost her center of gravity, she threw herself into Duan Shuang's arms.

"No... I'm sorry." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiegeng could not immediately bounce away as usual. Such an accident made her blush.

Duan Shuang instead lifted Jiegeng horizontally and carried her to a stone step beside him.

"Your Royal Highness?" Jiegeng could not say anything else at the moment.

"Don't move." After Jiegeng sat down, Duan Shuang started to check Jiegeng's left leg.

"Your Royal Highness, I will take a look myself. There is no need to trouble you." Jiegeng remembered that a woman's feet could not be casually touched. Moreover, there were so many people around. If her ankle was exposed again, her innocence would be tarnished. Although Jiegeng was very unwilling, she did not have the strength to pull her left foot back from Duan Shuang's hand.

"I have been at the border for a few years. How could I not notice this kind of small injury?" Duan Shuang did not lift Jiegeng's socks. He just used his finger to check the joints and came to a conclusion.

"It was just dislocated. It did not hurt the bones. Bear with it. I will help you recover first." Duan Shuang didn't attack directly. Instead, he raised his head to ask Jiegeng's opinion.

Jiegeng nodded. At this moment, before Jiegeng could react, Duan Shuang restored the dislocated joints.

Jiegeng cried out in shock.

"It still hurts?" Duan Shuang asked with concern.

Jiegeng immediately shook her head.

"The position has been restored, but we still need some medicinal wine. This place is the closest to my Imperial Residence. Go to my place and finish the medicine first. I will send a carriage to send you home." Duan Shuang let go of Jiegeng's left foot.

Jiegeng was completely shocked by Duan Shuang's actions just now. She could only nod her head stiffly.

At this moment, Duan Shuang finally had the time to pay attention to the others present.

"I will have to trouble the Right Minister to send Miss Jiang back to the manor." Duan Shuang once again began to display his innate arrogance.

"Oh right, I still need to thank Lord Xiang for helping me just now." Jiegeng finally reacted and thanked him.

Hsiang Xuanfei nodded in response. "Not worth mentioning."

At this moment, other than Jiegeng, Hsiang Xuanfei and Jiang Wanxin both realized that Zhen'an King's pressure was getting lower and lower.

Duan Shuang immediately squatted down in front of Jiegeng and said in a muffled voice, "Come up."

"What His Royal Highness means is that you want to carry me?" Jiegeng was not sure how this was something Zhen'an King would do!

"Nonsense!" Duan Shuang's tone started to become somewhat impatient.

After Jiegeng timidly laid on Duan Shuang's back, Duan Shuang naturally carried Jiegeng on his back.

When Jiang Wanxin saw this, she quietly said, "May Your Highness look at your heart."

This sentence naturally did not escape the ears of the two people who knew martial arts.

Duan Shuang was stunned for a moment and coldly left with Jiegeng.

Hsiang Xuanfei waited for Duan Shuang to leave before asking Jiang Wanxin. "Is Miss hurt? I wonder where the young lady lives?"

Jiang Wanxin shook her head. "Thank you for your trouble, Minister Jiang." Jiang Wanxin had completely recovered from the chaos just now, and her tone did not contain the slightest bit of panic.

"It's fine." Hsiang Xuanfei put away the long sword in his hand. "So it's the young lady of the Jiang family. Her courage really surprised me."

"She was just too shocked and had a dull reaction. She didn't have any courage. On the contrary, Wanxin will not be able to repay the favor of saving the Minister's life." Jiang Wanxin was modest.

The sky gradually turned dark. Hsiang Xuanfei did not delay any longer and immediately sent Jiang Wanxin back to the Lord's Manor.

Duan Shuang carried Jiegeng on his back and quietly walked towards the direction of the manor while Anzhao followed behind from afar.

"Don't all of you know lightness skills? Can't you fly back to the mansion in an instant?" Ever since Jiegeng was on Duan Shuang's back, her heart had been beating rapidly. She could even feel the strong feeling of jumping. Duan Shuang, on the other hand, did not say a word. It made the scene very awkward.

"I can do it myself." Duan Shuang was confident. Otherwise, he would not have rushed to the scene in the shortest time when the secret guards used a special method to send messages.

"But carrying you on my back is impossible." For some reason, Duan Shuang wanted to tease Jiegeng at this moment.

Jiegeng thought that it was the person on her back, but her movements were restricted and she was unable to use Qing Gong. She did not have any doubts and only said lightly. " Oh, what a pity."

"It's because you are too heavy." Duan Shuang felt helpless. Did he really have to make it so clear?

Jiegeng's arms suddenly tightened. She felt very ashamed. "How... How is it heavy?"

"Are you going to strangle me to death?" The veins on Duan Shuang's neck were visible.

Jiegeng immediately let go.

But after letting go, Jiegeng instinctively leaned back. Duan Shuang was anxious and held Jiegeng's waist and tail.

Jiegeng immediately placed her hand on Duan Shuang's shoulder again and Duan Shuang also quickly withdrew his hand.

After an accident, the two of them were silent for a long time at the same time.

When they were about to get close to the mansion, Duan Shuang slowly said, "I told you to mess around."

Jiegeng had no words to reply. She could only bury her head deep into the back of Duan Shuang's neck and shoulder.

"Don't rub your tears and mucus on my clothes. You still haven't paid the bill." Although she was still threatening Jiegeng, her voice was much softer.

Jiegeng remembered her lesson and did not dare to randomly move at this moment.

The faint scent of bamboo orchids on Duan Shuang's body calmed Jiegeng down a lot.

As the general leading the troops to kill the enemies, there was no lack of scholarly elegance. Jiegeng felt that the deeper she understood Duan Shuang, the more infatuated she was with him.

Was she infected by the Gu? Jiegeng thought to herself whimsically.
