The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: 477 Chapter Two

Yujin became even more puzzled, "Why would the Marquis come here?"

Given the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife, they mostly sent messages through others for any matters, and the number of times they proactively sought each other out could be counted on one’s fingers, especially Marquis Xuanping. He probably understood Princess Xinyang did not wish to see him and thus never went to trouble her needlessly.

In fact, Marquis Xuanping was only passing by today and had not planned to look for Princess Xinyang. However, he couldn’t help but hear Princess Xinyang’s cries of pain, as if something had happened.

Following the sound, he arrived at the attic of the study room. Princess Xinyang was slumped on the floor, her right foot heavily pinned by a fallen bookshelf. The attic was too cramped for her to retreat or to get up.

Marquis Xuanping bent over to enter the attic. The room was tall enough for Princess Xinyang to stand upright at its highest point but was too low for the tall Marquis Xuanping, who had to stoop the whole time.

He lifted the heavy bookshelf and moved the fallen books aside. She had blood seeping through her shoes—her injuries seemed to be quite severe.

Marquis Xuanping frowned, "Where are your Dragon Shadow Guards? Are they all just loafing around?"

He had rushed from the Avenue, and although it didn’t take much time, the travel distance had been there. In this time, her Dragon Shadow Guards could have had enough time to rescue her.

It was laughable that, knowing someone else would save her, he still came.

But the expected Dragon Shadow Guards did not show up.

This left Marquis Xuanping at a loss for words.

To say he was fortunate to have come?

How would Princess Xinyang know what thoughts crossed his mind?

Long Yi had gone out to handle affairs, and as for the other four Dragon Shadow Guards, she did not bring them to Capital City at all.

Seeing she didn’t reply, Marquis Xuanping did not press her for answers. He knelt on one knee, intending to examine her injuries when she suddenly said, "Don’t come over!"

Fine.

Though they were husband and wife, they had shared a bed only once, and interactions like these still required observance of propriety between men and women.

What a pain.

"Your injury is not light," said Marquis Xuanping.

With the amount of blood, there was at least one cut an inch long.

Marquis Xuanping thought it over. It was critical to provide aid, so he needed to get her down.

Marquis Xuanping reached out to carry her.
