Chapter 780 What should we do then?

Xiao Chen looked at those watery eyes and couldn't help but smile.

Xie Ying was stunned. "My Lord?"

"Who did you ask to pick you up?"

Xie Ying was speechless. She meant to ask Xie Zheng, Mingzhu—

"Xie Zheng and Mingzhu."

She was too nervous and too afraid of being disliked by him or embarrassing him. "Just let Xie Zheng pick me up."

"Your maidservant probably can't hold you. As for Xie Zheng, if I remember correctly, he is your bodyguard."

"Yes."

Seeing Xie Ying's cautious look, Xiao Chen couldn't bear to let her worry, "I carried you all the way to the Imperial Hospital anyway, so I'll carry you back."

"Our two families are old friends. It's not a big deal for me to take you back home."

As he said that, Xiao Chen moved closer to the bed and said, "Excuse me." Then he bent down to hug the person.

Xie Ying stretched out her hands, and hugged the young man's neck nervously and shyly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's just a piece of cake." A burst of cold fragrance wafted into her nose, and her head just bumped into the young man's chest. Xie Ying was stunned for a moment, and saw that he had changed his clothes...

Thinking of her own blood and staining his sleeves, she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground, not to mention Imperial Physician Lan, the Emperor, and even her eldest brother went to him to talk to him and ask him to take responsibility for such things.

Xiao Chen, such an extraordinary person, would he annoy her because of these trivial and complicated things?

Jian Wu was just like when he came, always at Xiao Chen's beck and call. He knew to go back to Duke Xie's Mansion without Xiao Chen's instructions.

The carriage swayed and Xie Ying's head would hit Xiao Chen's chest from time to time. She apologized from time to time, but in the end she was too lazy to say anything.

Who knows if this is the last time he hugs her in this life. Xie Ying simply leaned her head on his chest, but her pounding heartbeat was particularly exciting. He was -

Xie Ying raised his eyes to look at the young man, only to see that he had his eyes closed as before, as motionless as the peach blossom hairpin on his head, and exuded an air of calmness towards everything.

She just kept looking at the young man, forgetting herself for a moment, until the young man opened his eyes and lowered his gaze to look at her. Only then did Xie Ying blush and said, "I, I, I..."

Xiao Chen looked at her embarrassed expression and just smiled slightly, "Ms. Xie, have you seen enough?"

Did he know she was looking at him?

Xie Ying clenched her hands that were grabbing his clothes. She had never expected that Xiao Chen would take the initiative to talk to her jokingly. She said bluntly, "I didn't expect that the prince, such a dignified and upright gentleman, would smile so beautifully." Naturally, she couldn't get enough of it.

After saying that, her face got even hotter.

It’s just that she didn’t see that Xiao Chen’s ears also turned red.

The young man cleared his throat and said, "What happened today is my fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered this punishment."

Especially, she got married later -

Thinking too far ahead, Xiao Chen's mind was filled with the voices of Doctor Lan, Xiao Yao, Xie Yunchu and others.

He thought about it all the way, holding the delicate little girl in his arms. When he knew that she was staring at him without blinking, he couldn't control his heart beating like thunder.

His heartbeat was so chaotic that he felt like he was out of control. All Buddhist teachings and Taoist scriptures were useless.

Xie Ying shook his head slightly, "What did my brother say to the prince about today's incident?"

"Ah."

"Brother, what you said is not true. The prince is kindhearted, so he wanted to save me. It was just a mistake. I misunderstood that the prince was an accomplice of those two gangsters, so I accidentally hurt myself."

Xiao Chen didn't know what to say for a moment, so he changed the subject, "After today, there may be many rumors." About the two of them.

Xie Ying smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty."

"It's not me," he lowered his head and looked at Xie Ying, "it's you. After all, this world is not so tolerant of women."

Xie Ying smiled and glanced at the young man, "Then what should we do?"

Xiao Chenyi looked at her and said, "Be strong."

Be strong—

Xie Ying knew that he couldn't really listen to his elder brother or the emperor and marry her, right?

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I'll take note of it." After a pause, Xie Ying didn't want to make him feel guilty, so she just said, "I'm not as fragile as Your Majesty thinks. I don't care about these things that much."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Arrived at the Duke’s Mansion.

Xiao Chen carried Xie Ying all the way back to the mansion. The people in the mansion were shocked to see this, but at the same time they did not dare to lose their manners.

"lead the way!"

Xiao Chen was holding the person, and the servants of the Duke's Mansion hurriedly led the way.

After a while, Mingzhu saw Xiao Chen coming back with her young lady in his arms. She was shocked. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Your Highness..." Mingzhu knelt down hurriedly. The young lady got what she wished for. However, why did the prince carry the young lady back? Was the young lady injured?

"What's wrong, miss?"

Xiao Chen asked, "Where is Miss Xie's boudoir?" He had already seen the door to the main house in the courtyard.

But I still asked.

Mingzhu quickly stood up and ran to open the door. Xiao Chen carried her into the house and followed Mingzhu all the way to the depths of the girl's boudoir.

Since I stepped into the boudoir, the girl's fragrance became more and more distinct. The warm goose yellow curtains and slightly pink bedding made the whole room cozy.

Xiao Chen gently put Xie Ying down, and the others stood far away, not daring to get close or go far away, for fear of not hearing the instructions.

Xie Ying thanked him again. When Xiao Chen was about to leave, Xie Ying asked, "I wonder if you could ask your Majesty to stay. I have something to ask you."

When Xiao Chen turned around, Mingzhu had already tactfully brought a round stool, then walked out of the room and closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xiao Chen took a special look.

When he turned around, he looked at Xie Ying. Did she really not care about her reputation anymore?

Xie Ying said, "The minister and the prince are upright and have nothing to fear from their own shadows. Moreover, the prince is a noble and upright person, so how could he do anything bad to the minister?"

Xiao Chen smiled, "You trust me very much."

"Others wouldn't dare to do that, but Your Majesty, I am not afraid at all."

"Not at all."

"Ah."

Xiao Chen sat up straight, looked at her and asked, "Well, Miss Xie, please go ahead."

Xie Ying tilted her head slightly, her eyes looking at the mahogany peach blossom hairpin on his bun, "Mr. Ding said that the prince's peach blossom hairpin was given by Lord Rong, and this minister," she raised her hand and took off the white jade peach blossom hairpin from her hair and let Xiao Chen see it.

"What Master Ding said is true."

"What do you think, Your Highness? My father once said that Lord Rong has never missed anything in his life." Xie Ying asked, his eyes fixed on the young man who was sitting on a round stool not far from the bed.

Xiao Chen's eyes also looked at the white jade peach blossom hairpin in her hand, "Uncle Rong has never made any mistakes in his life, but perhaps this is the only mistake he made in his life. I really have no other thoughts about Miss Xie."

Xie Ying chuckled and said, "I don't think so."

Xiao Chen looked at her again. What did you say?

"Your Highness wants to know?" Xie Ying asked.
