Chapter 435 - 435 Father and Daughter Meet (3)
435 Father and Daughter Meet (3)
There were only ten Demon Guards pa.s.sed down to them from their father. Among them, there were three by his side and seven by their brother’s side.
They would only appear when their master’s life was threatened, or when their master summoned them.
Therefore, this was clearly not his Demon Guard. He must have been sent by his brother to protect this girl.
“Princess, what’s wrong?”
!!
At this moment, a group of five or six people walked in from outside the courtyard. When she saw the scene in the courtyard, Bai Zhi quickly ran over to help Xuanyuan Ye up.
Seeing that the young man he had seen during the day was also here, the abbot knew that these were all people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom. He chanted a Buddhist proclamation and left.
Princess? Xuanyuan Ce frowned. There were many princesses in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but there was only one at this age.
Xuanyuan Ce rubbed his forehead. His brother was too reckless. It seemed that it was time to clarify some things when they returned to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
“Uncle.” Xuanyuan Ziming bowed to Xuanyuan Ce nervously.
“Your Highness.” The people following him bowed.
Xuanyuan Ziming did not expect this to happen.
Xuanyuan Ce glanced at him and was about to reprimand him when he thought of something and swallowed it. He nodded and asked, “Why are you here so late?”
Xuanyuan Ziming was stunned and reached out to twist his waist.
It didn’t hurt!
He was indeed dreaming.
He knew it. When had his imperial uncle ever been so kind to him?
No, Imperial Uncle had never been kind to anyone. He clearly had a good face that could attract both men and women, but he insisted on being cold every day. What a waste of his skin.
With this thought in mind, he twisted the piece of meat around again.
“Ah…” Zhu Zi did not dare to lose his composure in front of Xuanyuan Ce. At this moment, he could not help but grimace in pain.
Xuanyuan Ziming lowered his head in a daze and quickly let go.
He looked up at Xuanyuan Ce as if he had seen a ghost and muttered, “It’s not a dream?”
The corners of Xuanyuan Ce’s mouth twitched. His nephew was really…
“Princess, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.” Bai Zhi’s worried voice sounded.
Xuanyuan Ce looked over. The Demon Guard had already disappeared when these people appeared.
Only Xuanyuan Ye was still sitting on the ground, maintaining her original posture.
He frowned and noticed that the imperial physicians of the Xuanyuan Kingdom had also arrived. He had a guess as to why these people had gone up the mountain overnight.
“Go and take a look at her.”
Imperial Physician Qin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking to him. He quickly bowed and walked to Xuanyuan Ye’s side.
Only then did Xuanyuan Ye react. Her eyes moved. Her father still cared about her, right?
When Chu Feng returned after sending them off, he was stunned to see so many people in the courtyard.
After bowing to Xuanyuan Ziming, he did not wait for him to go over and bow to Xuanyuan Ye.
Xuanyuan Ce instructed, “Get someone to arrange a residence for them. I’ll go down the mountain with you tomorrow morning.”
The last sentence was directed at Xuanyuan Ziming.
With that, he ignored the people in the courtyard and returned to the house.
Imperial Physician Qin checked Xuanyuan Ye’s pulse. After about ten minutes, he retracted his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. “The Princess is fine. She was just a little shocked.”
“Then the princess…” Bai Zhi didn’t believe it. How was she “just a little shocked”? She was clearly frightened out of her wits.
Xuanyuan Ye waved her hand to interrupt her and stood up.
Xuanyuan Ye’s status in the Xuanyuan Kingdom was even higher than that of ordinary princes and princesses. Imperial Physician Qin did not dare to be negligent. To be safe, he said, “If you’re worried that you won’t be able to sleep at night, I can prescribe you a calming medicine.”
“There’s no need. I’m fine.” Xuanyuan Ye looked at the closed door.
“Little Yezi, what happened just now? Or did you see something?” Xuanyuan Ziming asked.
He did not think that his uncle would attack a little girl for no reason, let alone that she was his daughter. In the past, he would at most ignore her.
Actually, he had never understood why his imperial uncle was so indifferent to this little cousin. Even the grudges of the previous generation should not involve her.
He felt that Xuanyuan Ye was a little wronged. The reason why his father and grandmother doted on her so much was probably because she was his uncle’s only bloodline.
“I…” Xuanyuan Ye closed her eyes. “I’m fine.”
Since she was unwilling to say it, there was nothing Xuanyuan Ziming could do. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Coincidentally, Chu Feng returned with a few novice monks. They returned to their a.s.signed rooms.
Bai Zhi brought over water to help Xuanyuan Ye wash up. Seeing that she was in a daze again, she couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Princess, are you alright?”
Xuanyuan Ye frowned and said coldly, “Get out!”
Bai Zhi’s body trembled. She did not dare to ask further and quickly retreated.
The crackling of the candlelight was especially loud in this silent room.
Xuanyuan Ye suddenly looked up. “Demon, find out who else my father saw today besides the monks of the Hidden Spirit Temple.”
