Chapter 565: Carrying Her in Public
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yu Huarong’s face turned extremely ugly, and she gave him a stern look. “Shut up! We haven’t done anything! We were just here as an audience.”
Startled by Yu Huarong’s appearance, Yu Zinan shrunk back and quickly nodded in agreement. “Sister Huarong is right. We were just here as an audience and didn’t know anything. Senior Mo, are you okay?”
He turned to look at Mo Xie.
Mo Xie’s complexion was somewhat pale, and he replied, “Fortunately, I managed to dodge quickly. This place isn’t suitable for a prolonged stay. Let’s leave first.”
As he said this, his murky eyes were filled with gloom.
Yu Huarong nodded in agreement.
Even though she could deny any wrongdoing, if their cousin managed to track them here, it would leave a bad impression. It was best to leave quickly.
The group hastily departed.
On the other side, inside the Salvation Hall.
Everyone looked exhausted but incredibly excited.
“We did it! We actually saved everyone! This is amazing!”
“Thanks to the Guardian Princess and Young Master Lan, without your help, many patients might not have made it in time.”
Everyone looked at Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan with admiration.
Gu Qingluan smiled and shook her head, “It’s our duty.”
The final patient she rescued was in dire straits, with only a single breath remaining as she reached them. Saving them proved to be a more arduous task compared to the others, for an ordinary person would have deemed it impossible.
She slowly stood up, her physical strength greatly depleted, and her body couldn’t help but sway.
Before she could collapse, a warm and st.u.r.dy chest pressed against her back.
Gu Qingluan was supported by Feng Tianlan.
“You’ve exhausted yourself. Rest in the backyard,” Feng Tianlan said, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
“I…” Gu Qingluan tried to say that she was fine, but before she could speak a full sentence, she was suddenly lifted off the ground.
“Listen to me,” Feng Tianlan said in a tone he hadn’t used in a long time.
Laughter filled the surroundings.
“You’re right, Young Master Lan. The Guardian Princess needs to rest.”
“We’ll take care of things here. The patients are stable for now, so there shouldn’t be any major issues.”
“Guardian Princess, your health is important. We still have a tough battle ahead. You can’t afford to collapse now. Please go rest!”
Everyone echoed these sentiments. Gu Qingluan realized the state of her own energy and didn’t insist any further.
“Put me down, I can walk on my own.”
Resting was fine, but there was no need to be carried in.
She wasn’t so weak that she couldn’t walk a few steps.
Feng Tianlan pursed his lips, his grip firm as he carried her quickly toward the backyard.
The others found a place to sit down and rest as well.
They were all incredibly tired.
They had never been so exhausted from saving people before.
However, they didn’t complain at all.
Seeing that all the patients were saved, none of them had died, and their spirits were soaring.
“Everyone is tired, so let’s have some food to replenish our energy.”
The Crown Prince couldn’t perform medical procedures, but he did his best to handle logistics.
As he spoke, a group of maids entered with trays of food.
The sound of rumbling stomachs filled the room.
“When the Crown Prince didn’t mention it, I didn’t feel hungry, but as soon as he did, my stomach started growling.”
“It smells so good! I could eat three big bowls right now!”
Everyone eagerly accepted their bowls.
“The s.p.a.ce is limited, so we didn’t make anything too elaborate,” the Crown Prince explained.
“It’s already quite abundant.”
“Yes, with so many ingredients in this big bowl of noodles, it’s even better than what I usually have at a restaurant!”
“Mmm! Mmm! It’s so delicious!”
Everyone savored the food with relish. The ingredients were genuine, and there was no reason to be picky.
“Send two bowls to Qingluan and Young Master Lan,” Qi Tianyou instructed the servants.
“Yes.”
At this moment, Feng Yuanxi and Gu Xiaonan’s dinner was ready too.
They went to the medicine room and found it empty. After inquiring, they learned that Gu Qingluan was exhausted and was taken to the backyard by Feng Tianlan to rest.
The two boys exchanged glances and hurriedly brought their dinner to the backyard.
Feng Tianlan placed Gu Qingluan on the bed and squatted down to help her take off her shoes.
“No need, I’ll just sit for a while,” Gu Qingluan said as she tucked her feet up.
Feng Tianlan looked at her with a deep gaze.
“Do you want to lie down and rest, or do you want me to take your shoes off?”
“Alright, alright, 1’11 take them off.”
Although Gu Qingluan felt that she hadn’t done anything wrong, seeing his stern expression made her feel like she was in the wrong. She kicked off her shoes and said, “I want to take a bath.”
She was sticky from perspiration and had picked up the scent of medicine. There might even be some viruses on her, and she couldn’t sleep like this.
Feng Tianlan reached out to hug her.
“No need, I’ll just wash up in the Stellar s.p.a.ce.”
Before Feng Tianlan could nod, she had already disappeared into the Stellar s.p.a.ce.
Watching the woman vanish before his eyes, Feng Tianlan’s lips tightened into a thin line.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
“Mother, we’ve prepared dinner. Please open the door and have something to eat before going to sleep,” Gu Xiaonan’s voice sounded from outside.
Creak!
The door opened.
Gu Xiaonan’s smile froze when he saw the figure in front of him was clearly not Gu Qingluan.
He tilted his head back, then saw Feng Tianlan’s face, which was covered by a common-looking mask..
