Chapter 492

Xie Xuanchen was usually fine if he was making jokes, but for him to say that it wasn’t fatal made her extremely worried. Mu Mingtang’s eyes were sincere and she looked at his body to check. If it weren’t for the fact that they were still out of the house, she would have done so personally with her hands.

“Where are you injured? Does it hurt?” Mu Mingtang said, carefully holding Xie Xuanchen’s arm, “Can you walk?”

After saying this, Xie Xuanchen really felt that he was in trouble. Senior General Xu and Xu Silang approached and saw that the Prince who was still lively just now seemed to have suddenly become sick and weak. He had to lean on the Princess even when walking.

The Xu family’s father and son both had strange expressions, “Your Highness, are you alright?”

Mu Mingtang was worried that Xie Xuanchen would lose strength if he started speaking, so she answered on his behalf, “He was seriously injured and it is inconvenient to speak too much. I will accompany the Prince back first, but I would like to thank everyone who took care of him along the way.”

Seriously injured? Senior General Xu and Xu Silang both looked shocked. Didn’t Xie Xuanchen just get a scratch on his arm? His muscles were so hard that even the inner dermis was not damaged, which meant that there was only some blood on the surface. He would be fine after two days of waiting for the wound to heal.

“You are trying to be brave again,” Mu Mingtang glared at him helplessly, but after the servants got the items, she still followed Xie Xuanchen’s instructions and dismissed everyone. Then, she took the handkerchief, soaked it in hot water and twisted it dry in the basin, “Take off your clothes first and I’ll help you clean your wounds.”

Xie Xuanchen looked at the situation and originally planned to tell her the truth to stop teasing her, but at this moment he suddenly changed his tune, “But my shoulder is injured and it hurts even if I move it a little bit...”

Upon hearing this, Mu Mingtang immediately said, “Don’t move, I’ll do it.”

Xie Xuanchen pretended to decline, “It doesn’t matter, I can do it myself, I just have to endure it.”

How could Mu Mingtang agree to that? She temporarily put down the handkerchief, sat on the edge of the bed and gently undressed him, “If it hurts, tell me.”

Xie Xuanchen stretched out his hand in a particularly cooperative manner, but because he was afraid that his secret would be too obvious, he could only reluctantly slow down and said, “It’s okay, you can just do whatever you want.”
