Long Rui nodded and said to Long Yi, "Go fetch the doctor back and have a look at Lingling’s wound."
Long Yi muttered softly with his head down, "So pampered, just a small injury, why bother a doctor!"
Long Rui, with his deep inner strength and sharp ears, gave him a chilly glance and said, "What did you say?"
Long Yi shivered all over and immediately said, "No, nothing at all, Your Highness, you misheard. I’ll go get the doctor right away."
After speaking, he took off like the wind.
The old maid secretly nudged Gu Lingqiao.
Gu Lingqiao hesitated a bit before stepping in front of Long Rui, and said in a coy voice, "Brother Rui, my whole body hurts, please accompany me back to the courtyard. With Brother Rui by my side, the pain goes away."
Long Rui turned his head to glance at the entrance of the Rain Listening Courtyard. It was quiet, not even a maid stepped out. He thought, at this shichen, Xuexue might be busy with the account book, so he decided not to disturb her for the moment and said, "Lingling came from afar and is a guest here. Now that she’s injured in the War Prince’s Mansion, it’s only proper for me to accompany you to see a doctor."
Gu Lingqiao said movingly, "Brother Rui is so kind to Lingling!"
Long Rui strode forward and said as he walked, "Let’s go, don’t delay the time."
"Brother Rui, wait for me." Gu Lingqiao stomped her foot unhappily and chased after him, hugging Long Rui’s waist with her hands and said coquettishly, "Brother Rui, you’re so mean. I’m injured, and you didn’t even wait."
Long Rui glanced at her, his tone unperturbed, and said indifferently, "Your feet aren’t injured, you can still walk!"
Speaking of this, Gu Lingqiao stole a glance at Long Rui and said pointedly, "Brother Rui, even if every woman in the world despises you for being like this, Lingling won’t."
Long Rui responded with a nod without saying anything.
The two of them talked as they walked toward the side room...
Gu Lingqiao was temporarily arranged to stay there.
The maids and old maids followed from afar.
They dared not disturb Long Rui and Gu Lingqiao’s interaction.
Gu Lingqiao cautiously asked, "Brother Rui, did I say something wrong? Are you angry?"
By this time, they had reached the doorway. Long Rui stopped his steps and, like when they were children, flicked her nose and smiled faintly, "Lingling, stop overthinking it. Let the doctor properly clean your wound, or else if it gets infected and leaves a scar, it won’t be pretty."
Long Yi hurried over with the doctor, "Your Highness, the doctor is here!"
Long Rui nodded and said, "Let’s go inside first!"
Long Yi looked up, although it’s said to be a side room, now that Gu Lingqiao lives here, for a maiden yet to be married, it could be considered a lady’s boudoir. It wouldn’t be quite appropriate for us men to go in, would it?
"Your Highness, this is Miss Gu’s boudoir; it might not be quite suitable for us to go inside!" Long Yi said tactfully.
Gu Lingqiao grabbed Long Rui’s arm intimately and said, "Brother Rui and I grew up together, no barriers between us. Going in is fine; isn’t that right, Brother Rui?"
After speaking, she looked at Long Rui with her beautiful eyes blinking.
"Shameless, shameless, truly shameless!" Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in mid-air.
Everyone turned their heads and found a little bird perched on the roof, chirping at them.
