The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 908 - 908 418 Her Secret (Two s)

Chapter 908: 418 Her Secret (Two Chapters) Chapter 908: 418 Her Secret (Two Chapters) Gu Jiao woke up to find herself lying in a room that was both strange and familiar; strange because it was definitely not her western room, nor was it a courtyard in the Medical Hall.

Familiar because it seemed she had been here before.

“Awake?”

A lukewarm female voice came from the direction of the windowsill.

Gu Jiao turned her head and saw Princess Xinyang, dressed in plain clothes, practicing calligraphy by the window.

Gu Jiao remembered.

This was Princess Xinyang’s room.

So, was she now in the mansion on Vermilion Bird Avenue?

But why was she here? She had no recollection whatsoever.

Princess Xinyang finished a piece of calligraphy, put it aside with satisfaction, and took another sheet to continue: “Long Yi picked you up and insisted on placing you in my bed.”

Her tone was unmistakably annoyed.

She used the word “picked up,” which suggested Long Yi acted on his own, not at the behest of Princess Xinyang.

Gu Jiao didn’t ask how Long Yi had found her since asking would have been pointless. She said, “Then you could have refused to let him.”

“Hmph,” Princess Xinyang snorted coldly. “I would have liked to.”

Gu Jiao looked down at her clothes, which had been changed, unaware of whom they belonged to.

Princess Xinyang said indifferently, “They’re Yujin’s clothes. Did you think I would give you mine to wear?”

Gu Jiao: How does she know exactly what I’m thinking?

Princess Xinyang spoke again, “Are you a Yan Country death soldier?”

“Huh?” Gu Jiao was startled.

Princess Xinyang said casually, “Covered in blood, yet not a drop of it was your own, don’t tell me you bathed in bloody water.”

Gu Jiao asked oddly, “What does that have to do with being a death soldier from Yan Country?”

“It seems you really don’t remember anything.” Princess Xinyang finally looked at Gu Jiao properly, but it was only a brief glance before her gaze shifted away indifferently, “The way you looked when you arrived was exactly like a death soldier who lost control. By the way, only Yan Country has death soldiers, and Long Yi is from there too.”

Gu Jiao said with absolute certainty, “I am not a death soldier.”

Princess Xinyang paused, then nodded, “True, even death soldiers don’t have as strong a murderous aura as you do.”

Gu Jiao: “…”

Could you give me a heads up before insulting me?

And here I thought you’d say, true, you are the daughter of the Marquis Residence.

Gu Jiao didn’t know how long she had been unconscious, or what time it was now; all she knew was that she was very hungry, and soon her stomach began growling loudly.

Princess Xinyang finished the last character, put down her brush, and her eyes still didn’t meet Gu Jiao’s. Instead, they rested on the freshly written calligraphy: “Will you eat by yourself or with me?”

Eat together? Dinner?

What time is it now that Princess Xinyang hasn’t even eaten yet?

Gu Jiao thought about it and said, “If it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to eat alone.”

Princess Xinyang put away her calligraphy pieces and walked out of the room.

Before long, a little maid came in carrying a tray with three dishes, a soup, and a small fruit platter; not many dishes, but they all looked very appetizing.

The maid first placed the tray on the table, then set up a clean little stand specifically for the bed where Gu Jiao was lying.

Gu Jiao had meant to say, ‘I can get out of bed and eat by myself,’ but seeing the trouble they went through, she didn’t want to disappoint their kindness.

“The servant will wait outside, Miss. If you need anything, just call me,” the maid said respectfully before retreating.

Gu Jiao was ready to start her dinner.

But the next second, Long Yi flashed into the room!

Gu Jiao’s hand shook, and the chopsticks she had just picked up fell with a start.

Could it be… he’s here to find her for a pen duel again?

Gu Jiao watched him warily for a long time, but Long Yi didn’t produce his charcoal pen, and she let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed not.

Then what was he here for?

Gu Jiao looked at Long Yi, who had his hands behind his back, his eyes intently fixed on the food in front of Gu Jiao, looking quite expectant.

Gu Jiao’s eyes rolled: “Do you want to eat too?”

Long Yi didn’t move.

Got it wrong? Gu Jiao thought, “Are you reminding me to hurry up and eat?”

Long Yi’s aura remained unchanged.

Wrong again.

It’s troublesome when the Dragon Shadow Guard won’t speak; it’s all guesswork for her.

Unable to decipher what Long Yi wanted, Gu Jiao hummed for a while and said quizzically, “You wouldn’t be thinking of feeding me, would you?”

Long Yi’s eyes flashed with eagerness!

Gu Jiao glanced at his hands behind his back, not thinking too much of it; it was just feeding her, after all. Considering he had rescued her, she gave her consent.
