Chapter 645: She Must be Crazy to Have Fallen for Him 1 (2/2)

Both Chu Lian and Xiao Bojian replied in agreement.

However, the expressions of the people beside them had all subtly changed.

What was going on? Why was the emperor suddenly favouring Xiao Bojian right now?

What great merit had he achieved? He had merely saved Honoured Lady Jinyi, who also happened to be Marchioness Anyuan. Moreover, he did it voluntarily. Why was he being rewarded for a commendable deed? Although Honoured Lady Jinyi had been conferred a title, she wasn’t really a descendant of the imperial family. The emperor didn’t need to grant a reward since this matter had nothing to do with him…

Everyone was confused about this situation.

However, they looked at Xiao Bojian and Chu Lian with even more complicated emotions in their eyes.

Imperial Concubine Wei promptly dismissed the audience of ladies.

The imperial physician came to take Chu Lian and Xiao Bojian’s pulses respectively. As Chu Lian had insisted, she hadn’t sustained any major injuries. She only had some minor scratches and bruises, and she had also suffered some fright. However, Xiao Bojian was heavily injured. He had not only sprained his ankle, but also sustained some internal injuries. It would probably take at least two to three months for him to recover.

Wenqing and Wenlan helped Chu Lian to walk forward. She turned towards Xiao Bojian and bobbed in gratitude.

Xiao Bojian noticed the cold and desolate look within her eyes. A corner of his lips tugged downwards and he whispered, “When did you become so distant from me, Lian’er? Didn’t I just risk my life to save you? That was what I promised you earlier.”

Chu Lian frowned and gave him a complicated look. She didn’t say anything else, then turned around and left.

Xiao Bojian stared after Chu Lian’s slender, delicate back until his line of vision was blocked by some tents. His formerly gentle and handsome face instantly turned gloomy and vicious.

He clenched his fists and kicked the cushioned stool that Chu Lian had been sitting on earlier.

Xiao Bojian couldn’t control the rage within his heart. It was as if his entire body had been set alight with fire.

“Preposterous! She didn’t believe me!”

The imperial physician was shocked by his abrupt actions and lost the ability to respond for a moment.

He couldn’t believe that that handsome man, who had appeared so gentle in front of the emperor and Honoured Lady Jinyi earlier, had suddenly morphed into a devil from hell.

He couldn’t help but shudder when he saw the infuriated expression on Sir Xiao’s face.

Imperial physicians were just low-ranking officials working in a high-risk profession. They had already trained themselves to become sturdy and resistant to shock. Thus, he was only stunned for a few seconds when he saw this unexpected side of Xiao Bojian. After that, he continued to treat Xiao Bojian’s injuries like a puppet.

One glanced at the imperial physician beside him, who was treating the wounds while half-kneeling. He whispered to Xiao Bojian, “Sir, you’re already injured. Anger won’t help your wounds to heal.”

It seemed like Xiao Bojian had just wanted to vent out the resentment within his heart. He closed his eyes and suppressed his anger after hearing One’s advice.
