The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: 567 Regaining the Victory (Second Update)

The water of the lake in January was ice-cold and bone-piercing, even Princess Ning An, who could swim, was almost frozen to the point of losing consciousness. With the heavy winter garments that soaked up water like stones tied to her body, she couldn’t move at all!

By the time Princess Ning An finally struggled onto the shore, she had nearly lost her life.

The Little Fat who caused her to fall into the water had long disappeared, while Huangfu Xian did not flee and just sat there in a wheelchair by the shore.

Princess Ning An lay in the grass, shivering and gasping for breath, and it took her a long while before she finally mustered a sliver of strength to speak, "...Who allowed you to come out?"

Princess Ning An had already confined Huangfu Xian to his quarters.

Huangfu Xian said, "I came out on my own; they couldn’t stop me."

Huangfu Xian acted as if he owned the heaven and earth, threatening with his life at every turn—how could the palace maids stop him?

The injuries on Princess Ning An’s right arm and forehead were real; the forehead injury was lighter and had scabbed over, but her right arm had been truly stabbed, and stitched up with several stitches.

After thrashing about in the water just now, the wound had split open again, and fresh blood seeped through her damp sleeve, staining a large area red.

Princess Ning An bore the bone-chilling pain, gritted her teeth, and got up.

She staggered over to Huangfu Xian, panting and said, "You did it on purpose, didn’t you?"

Huangfu Xian met her icy gaze without fear and said, "I just saw mother and greeted her."

Princess Ning An raised her hand to slap Huangfu Xian, but alas, she truly had little strength left; before her hand could reach Huangfu Xian’s face, she collapsed to the ground.

By the time Lianlian came out to look for Huangfu Xian and found them here, Princess Ning An had already passed out.

Princess Ning An slept for 2 hours before waking up, and the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to scold Huangfu Xian!

"Princess! Princess! You should at least put on a cloak!"

Lianlian grabbed a cloak and chased after her.

"Don’t come in!"
