Xuanping Marquis furrowed his brows, "So back then in the attic, she was truly frightened, yet she still talked tough."
That happened several months ago, before Gu Jiao went to the frontier. Princess Xinyang had fallen and gotten injured in the attic, and when the Xuanping Marquis went up to rescue her, he ended up scaring her quite badly.
Gu Jiao arrived at the scene afterwards and also noticed the unusual behavior of Princess Xinyang, but given the circumstances at the time, Gu Jiao had thought it might be claustrophobia.
"How long has she been like this?" Gu Jiao asked.
Yujin shook her head, "I’m not sure, the Princess never mentioned it to me. I only started serving her after her grand wedding, and by that time, she was already in this condition. I tried to ask the Princess, but she refused to say anything."
Gu Jiao pondered, "Since you started serving the Princess, has she always been this way, or have there been any signs of her condition worsening or improving?"
Yujin replied truthfully, "It has improved slightly over the past two years; she can now ride in a carriage with the Marquis."
In fact, Princess Xinyang had also ridden in carriages of Yan Country’s Pharmacist, but the carriages of the Yan Country’s Pharmacist had no curtains, and they were open at both ends, not like a confined space.
The Xuanping Marquis thought about the recent times he had shared a carriage with Princess Xinyang, "But I see she’s not at ease."
"You noticed?" Yujin said, surprised.
The Xuanping Marquis snorted coldly, "What, do you think I am just some brute? That I wouldn’t notice these minor details?"
Yujin bowed slightly, "My apologies for the thoughtless words."
The Xuanping Marquis said firmly, "It’s not your fault. We military men admittedly do not have the delicate sensibilities of women, but I am naturally gifted and far from ordinary."
Yujin: "..."
Is it really proper for him to sing his own praises?
Yujin could only act as if she hadn’t heard, continuing with her previous point, "It’s not easy, but she can endure it. If she can’t, she ends up fainting like she did today."
Gu Jiao made a noise of acknowledgment, "But young master and Long Yi seem to be fine around her."
Yujin nodded slightly, "The young Marquis and Long Yi are exceptions."
The Xuanping Marquis was displeased.
Xiao Hen was one thing, for he was her son, but why should Long Yi be an exception!
