Being foolish is already pitiful enough, yet why go and chase after someone with a plan?
Then Long Yi failed in his enticement again.
Princess Xinyang held her forehead.
Long Yi, can’t you act normal for once?
"I’ll do it myself!" Princess Xinyang said seriously.
Yujin looked at her with concern, "Princess, how are you planning to do it?"
"The beauty trap!" Princess Xinyang said coldly, "I’ll go to him and say that I’m lost and ask him to give me a ride to the post station."
Yujin sized up Princess Xinyang from head to toe, "...You don’t look like someone who would get lost."
Princess Xinyang glanced at her and said, "What if I was robbed by a fool? Would that be impossible?"
Yujin gave a dry laugh, "That works."
You’re the princess, your word is law.
"You are not allowed to follow!" she ordered Long Yi.
Princess Xinyang gracefully disembarked from the carriage.
As a princess of a nation, even in the wilds of the mountains, she remained unflustered amidst the chaos.
Princess Xinyang lifted her chin, holding up her skirt, and walked towards the direction of the hillside like a proud peacock.
The mountain road was rugged, and after a few steps, she stepped on her own skirt and with a cry, she tumbled down the hillside, landing with her face in the dirt in a spectacular face-plant!
Yujin gasped in shock.
Long Yi covered his eyes.
However, it was precisely because of this fall that her screams were heard by the pharmacist of Yan Country, prompting the pharmacist to send someone to see what had happened.
A guard found the dazed Princess Xinyang in a ditch; her jewelry had flown off, her hairdo was in disarray, and with a head full of tangled weeds, covered from head to toe in mud, she truly looked like a lady in distress.
"Someone has fallen down at the foot of the mountain," the guard reported.
"Go take a look," the Yan Country pharmacist said.
The Yan Country pharmacist arrived at the base of the mountain and instructed the guard to pull the person out of the ditch. Princess Xinyang’s face was covered in mud, her original appearance completely obscured.
As a pharmacist skilled in medicine, he naturally knew it wasn’t right to touch another’s body without their permission, so he simply checked her pulse over the sleeve of her garment, "The pulse indicates no major issues, but I don’t know if there are other internal injuries."
As he spoke, he looked around; Yujin and Long Yi hurriedly concealed themselves inside the carriage.
Their carriage was hidden behind a row of large trees, invisible unless one came closer.
The Yan Country pharmacist helplessly said, "Go get a stretcher, and let’s place her on the carriage first."
"Yes."
Two guards fetched a stretcher from the carriage and lifted Princess Xinyang onto it.
