The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1225

Chapter 1225: Past and Present Lives (Two Updates)

Xuanping Marquis Gu couldn’t care less about the physician’s admonishments, and with a swoosh, abandoned his wheelchair, strode forward in a few steps, lifted the fainting Princess Xinyang, and carried her onto the carriage.

The scene unfolded too abruptly, such that even Yujin didn’t regain her senses immediately.

The Princess’s condition had clearly eased quite a bit, so why the sudden relapse?

Since she had already fainted, concerns about her earlier declaration of not sharing a carriage with any man were disregarded.

"Get on," said the Xuanping Marquis to Yujin.

"Yes."

Yujin climbed onto the carriage.

"Let me do it, my lord," Yujin softly offered.

The Xuanping Marquis looked at Princess Xinyang’s pale face in his arms, considered the possibility that she might faint again from fright if she awoke en route, and finally nodded, handing Princess Xinyang over to Yujin.

Yujin, cradling Princess Xinyang, gently grasped the Princess’s hand.

The Xuanping Marquis frowned.

Although his interactions with Princess Xinyang were minimal, they were a married couple with conjugal relations; yet now, he could only watch as she lay in the arms of another woman.

What in the world was happening!

The Xuanping Marquis was visibly irked!

He suddenly stood up and drew back the curtain.

Yujin was taken aback and asked, "My lord, what are you doing?"

The Xuanping Marquis replied coldly, "Getting off. I’ll ride a horse to avoid scaring her into fainting again should she wake."

"But your injuries..." Yujin began, but the Xuanping Marquis had already alighted the carriage and commandeered a horse from an attendant to mount.

Xiao Hen was away at the Ministry of Justice handling official business. Gu Jiao had been bedridden for several days, but today she was finally able to move around freely on her own. She first relaxed her muscles and bones in the courtyard, then picked up the Red-Tasseled Spear and practiced a set of spear techniques.

Martial practice requires daily diligence, otherwise skills would rust.

She was mid-practice when Xuanping Marquis returned with Princess Xinyang.

Gu Jiao knew they had gone to the palace, but while they had left together in one carriage, they returned separately, with Xuanping Marquis on horseback and Princess Xinyang in the carriage.

Had they... had a fight?
