Chapter 130: Saved (2) (2/2)

Prince Jin glanced at the outer coat that Chu Lian was wearing. When he recognised it as Royal Princess Duanjia’s, a trace of understanding flashed through his mind.

Chu Lian blushed, the red evident against her pale face. After narrowly escaping danger, she had actually completely forgotten about the princess in the well…

She awkwardly coughed to hide her guilt and secretly glanced at Prince Jin. “Come with me.”

Wenlan quickly moved up to support Chu Lian. When Chu Lian led Prince Jin and the soldiers to that little courtyard, she peeked into the well and saw that there was no one there. Noticing that the piece of wood was still floating on the surface, she shouted loudly, “Princess! Come out quickly! Help has come!”

The tough soldiers surrounding them had constipated expressions on their faces.

Following that, ripples appeared on the surface of the water as a head suddenly popped up from under the wood, like a water ghost. Royal Princess Duanjia’s voice resounded with anger, “Chu Liu! You’re late!! Hurry and get someone to pull this princess up!”

Hearing the anger in Royal Princess Duanjia’s voice, Chu Lian was finally able to relax.

Actually, as Chu Lian reflected on her actions, she admitted it was a little too rough of her to have pushed the princess down the well. She had only been thinking of saving her life, but she hadn’t thought of the mental anguish that the saved princess would have been going through. Luckily, Royal Princess Duanjia wasn’t such a fragile person.

The soldiers quickly prepared some rope and threw it into the well.

Once they brought up the soaking wet princess, without waiting for Prince Jin to put the cloak he had prepared around the princess, Royal Princess Duanjia reached out and hugged the dazed Chu Lian tightly.

The princess’ voice sounded a little hoarse as she whispered into Chu Lian’s ear. “Stupid Chu Liu! Do you know how scared I was alone in that well?! If I have nightmares after this, I’m going to buy a puppet, paste your name on it, and stick a needle into it every day to relieve my trauma!”

Chu Lian froze up after hearing the princess’s words. As expected, this princess was really hateful. All she had were complaints after she had saved her life! Chu Lian was at a loss for what to do when she suddenly realised that there was something hot flowing down her neck.

Chu Lian’s heart immediately softened. She patted Royal Princess Duanjia’s back lightly and reassured her with a gentle tone. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. If Princess has nightmares in the future, I’ll make something delicious for you to eat, okay?”

Royal Princess Duanjia was choked with sobs as she pushed Chu Lian away and wiped her tears. She stared at Chu Lian with reddened eyes before pursing her lips, “Chu Liu, are you serious? Don’t you dare lie to me! I want to eat that cat head cookie! And your handmade roast duck!”

Chu Lian: ……

My dear princess, could you stop changing moods so quickly? My delicate heart can’t take it.

Are you sure you weren’t crying so pitifully just to trick some food out of me?

Chu Lian wanted to roll her eyes at the princess.
