CHAPTER 1376: CHAPTER 1375: UNCONDITIONAL TRUST

Prince Yexuan has arrived!

Chu Qianli was slightly surprised.

This guy—if she remembered correctly—less than two hours ago had sworn he would never come looking for her again.

"I am not here to look for you!"

As soon as he saw her expression, Feng Yexuan knew what she was thinking.

At the moment, he still looked a little awkward.

Fortunately, his cold and icy demeanor helped mask it.

Chu Qianli didn’t laugh at him. With the pressing crisis, she didn’t have the heart for it.

"Prince, your timing is just right. I was about to set off for Fuhua Village. Lan Fan and Chu Minghao are still here, so I hope you can..."

"I’ve already said, I am not here for you, nor do I need to follow your orders!"

Feng Yexuan snorted coldly and strode into the pharmacy: "I am here to deliver medicine to the people of Fuhua Village."

This pharmacy—aside from Chu Qianli—was probably more familiar to him than anyone else.

So this excuse, it seemed... rather convenient?

Since he wasn’t here to see her, naturally there wasn’t much danger of him contradicting his earlier words and causing a large-scale embarrassment!

"You’re heading to Fuhua Village?" This caught Chu Qianli slightly off guard. "Things are dire there, you..."

"I’ve lived for more than twenty years. What kind of storms haven’t I weathered?"

Wasn’t the situation back in Xinhua Village dire enough?

But then, what medicine should he take?

He was proficient at wrapping and preparing medicine, but if that troublesome woman hadn’t readied the necessary ingredients beforehand, it would be difficult for him to prepare anything.

Xi Jiu, however, perked up the moment he heard: "The situation in Fuhua Village is unclear for now, but it’s definitely not good."

"If Prince Yexuan lends his aid, then I can rest assured about our Princess’s safety."

"I’ve already said..."

"I know, I know. The Prince isn’t here for the Princess. But the Princess’s medical skills are unmatched in the entire team. Only when the Princess is safe can the patients be safe."

Xi Jiu knew perfectly well how embarrassed Feng Yexuan was!

His face had turned red—bright red, all the way to his ears!

Breaking his own rules—it was all clearly just to come find the Princess?

In fact, Xi Jiu could see through him in an instant. At this moment, it was essential to help give him an out.

Even a proud prince like Feng Yexuan shouldn’t have his dignity stomped upon casually.

"Prince, you’re not protecting the Princess, you’re protecting the people of Fuhua Village!"

Feng Yexuan wasn’t oblivious to Xi Jiu’s attempt to soothe his ego, but... it wasn’t a bad excuse to settle gracefully.

He glanced sideways at Chu Qianli and said coolly: "I am only here to protect the people of Fuhua Village."

Chu Qianli nearly rolled her eyes at him.

This guy—couldn’t he tone down the arrogance just a little?

But if he wanted to go, she probably couldn’t stop him anyway.

Xi Jiu kept signaling her desperately.

With Prince Yexuan present, at least Xi Jiu could rest easy.

The Princess shouldn’t keep "humiliating" him now!

For someone as proud as Prince Yexuan, to go to such lengths for her—even to the point of disregarding his own words—well, this time he had truly set aside his pride.

Any further stubbornness would simply show ignorance of the situation.

Chu Qianli exhaled lightly and finally forced a smile at Feng Yexuan: "Then on behalf of the people of Fuhua Village, let me thank Prince Yexuan!"

Feng Yexuan pressed his lips together and said nothing.

But when he saw Chu Qianli suddenly leap onto her horse, clearly ready to leave immediately, he was a little taken aback: "The medicine..."

"I recently received a batch of new medicine. It’s even more effective than the ones I’ve used before."

Hearing this, Feng Yexuan’s eyes lit up slightly.

If that troublesome woman said it was good, then it must be good.

Strangely enough, he felt an unconsciously unwavering trust in her.

Just as he was about to jump onto his own horse to set out, a maid suddenly rushed over in a panic: "Prince, something’s wrong! Miss Feng has gotten into trouble!"
