Chapter 187 Why does the prince care about me so abnormally?
Inside the room, Shen Qionghua sat down opposite Xie Nanyuan.
Xie Nanyuan had a sullen face, his eyes fixed on the pretty face of the woman in front of him, but he was hesitant to speak.
The room was silent for a moment.
Shen Qionghua felt uneasy at the look in Xie Nanyuan's eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "What do you want to tell me, Your Highness?"
Xie Nanyuan then shifted his gaze to look at her knee and asked, "Is your injury healed?"
what?
Shen Qionghua didn't react for a moment. Prince Rui used such a serious tone and expression just to ask her if her injury had healed?
Shen Qionghua suddenly felt relieved, as she thought something had happened again.
Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm well now, thanks to the ointment you sent me."
Since that day, King Rui sent people to deliver the ointment twice.
Although the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were not very good at detoxification, their medical skills were still very good. In addition, Shen Qionghua's knee only looked scary but did not bleed. After using the ointment for a period of time, it had already recovered as before.
Xie Nanyuan nodded, his expression gloomy.
His heavy look made Shen Qionghua's heart rise again.
Xie Nanyuan considered it over and over again, and finally said, "Why don't you send someone to inform this king?"
Shen Qionghua was a little shocked. "Prince...Prince, this...this...is just a minor injury. It will heal as soon as it heals. There's no need to make it public, right?"
King Rui wouldn't be angry about such a small matter, right?
Just because I didn't tell him that my injury was healed?
Wasn't it said that the Emperor arranged for Prince Rui to take over disaster relief matters and he was very busy? Could it be a rumor and Prince Rui is actually very idle?
You can't be reluctant to give up that little bit of ointment, right?
Xie Nanyuan choked, his face turning pale and blue. "I mean, Prince An is coming here today. Why didn't you inform me? What if there's danger?"
Even Pei Liangchuan knew to send someone to Prince Rui's Mansion to tell them, so why did she send someone? Why did she have to do it herself?
Isn't it... that he is not worthy of her trust?
Xie Nanyuan just felt like there was a rage stuck in his heart, making him feel suffocated.
There is danger, what kind of danger could it be?
This Shiding Building is her territory, and she is confident that she can make Xie Qian'an give up, so why bother to trouble King Rui?
Although the two of them are partners, she knows her limits and cannot rely on others for everything.
Shen Qionghua said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This Shiding Building is my territory. There can be no danger."
"Who said there's no danger? Didn't he want to do something to you just now? I heard it all from outside the door."
Xie Nanyuan felt particularly uncomfortable when he saw her being so indifferent.
When he heard these words outside the house, he immediately wanted to rush in. But when he heard that she had calmed Xie Qian'an down, he put down his foot that was about to kick the door.
Shen Qionghua was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Prince Rui's hearing was so good that he could even hear the conversation between her and Xie Qian'an.
Then he suddenly realized that, yes, King Rui has been practicing martial arts for many years, and people who practice martial arts naturally have better hearing than ordinary people.
Shen Qionghua looked at Xie Nanyuan with some amusement, not understanding why he was still obsessed with this matter.
"Your Highness, An Jin and Dr. Pei are still waiting outside. Even if I'm in danger, they will rush in."
"A weak woman, a doctor, and the two followers beside Prince An are both highly skilled in martial arts. Do you expect one of them to win the fight and come in to save you?" Xie Nanyuan said bluntly.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
She looked at King Rui in surprise, not understanding why he was so persistent about this matter.
This Shiding Building is her territory. Even if Prince An really wants to do something to her, he won't do it in the Shiding Building.
Xie Qian'an's words were nothing more than a threat out of anger because his plan failed. He didn't really want to do anything to her.
And it was because she knew this that she replied to him.
She is not angry, so what is Prince Rui angry about?
Shen Qionghua looked at Xie Nanyuan suspiciously and said, "Your Highness, you and I both know that it was just a casual remark made by Prince An in anger. There's no need to dwell on it."
Xie Nanyuan said in a deep voice, "What if? He just said it casually, and you implied that there are people in the Food Tripod Tower."
"But if he really did it, is there anyone in Shidinglou who can really save you? Can An Yi save you?"
Shen Qionghua choked. Of course she couldn't save her. An Yi was left in her house by her. How could he come to save her?
Shen Qionghua seemed to understand why Prince Rui was angry.
Is Prince Rui angry that she didn't care about her own safety?
But this wasn't the first time she met Xie Qian'an alone. If there was a chance of something happening, there had always been such a thing before.
Isn't it like this? I've never seen King Rui so angry before.
Shen Qionghua didn't think she did anything wrong, and even felt that Prince Rui was being unreasonable.
But the other party was kind-hearted and concerned about her safety, so Shen Qionghua couldn't say anything harsh. Besides, the other party was her backer, so Shen Qionghua could only follow his wishes and said, "No."
Xie Nanyuan's body stiffened for a moment when he heard her soft and sticky voice that sounded like she was admitting her mistake.
Then his tone softened a bit and he said, "Why didn't you take An Yi with you when you went out? Is it because you don't have enough manpower? Then I'll have someone send a few more people over."
Shen Qionghua: “?”
Shen Qionghua didn't know what Xie Nanyuan had in mind, but as a few more secret guards, she would rather take them than miss them.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Qionghua said.
Xie Nanyuan raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "If you encounter this situation again next time, you should send someone to inform me immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness, Qionghua knows."
When Xie Nanyuan saw that she agreed, the anger in his heart dissipated.
Xie Nanyuan felt a sense of relief in his heart, and then he heard Shen Qionghua ask, "Prince, why are you suddenly so uncharacteristically concerned about me?"
