The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 948

Chapter 948: 432 Long Yi (second update)_3

Gu Jiao opened her mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke, her face expressionless as she said, "Next time the princess gets angry, please let me face her wrath directly."

Gu Jiao seriously suspected that Long Yi was so proficient in his duties because he had done the same thing with Xiao Hen when they were children.

But she suspected even more that Xiao Hen’s need to stay out for so long was not because Princess Xinyang would really be angry for that long, but purely because Little Xiao Hen was mischievous and wanted to keep playing wildly outside!

"Do you know you’ve been tricked?"

Gu Jiao looked at him with grievance, "Your young master is a little rascal."

Long Yi did not react.

"I’m so hungry." Being baked by the sun for so long had made her hungry.

There happened to be a small stall selling Green Onion Pancakes nearby; Gu Jiao bought two. These pancakes had to be eaten while hot, or they would become hard, so she did not bring any back for Xiao Liulang or Princess Xinyang.

"That’ll be ten coins," the vendor said.

Gu Jiao pulled out a Copper Plate from her purse and handed it to him, took the Green Onion Pancakes, and gave one to Long Yi.

Long Yi took it in his hand, but did not eat it.

Gu Jiao took a bite of the crispy Green Onion Pancake and looked at him curiously, "Why aren’t you eating?"

Right, she had never seen Long Yi eat anything.

This big fellow always wore a mask that seemed never removed.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiao suggested to Long Yi, "Let’s go eat on the roof, no one will see us there."

Long Yi took Gu Jiao to the roof.

The angle they chose was excellent; they could see the people on the Avenue, but those people could not see them.

"Your mask," Gu Jiao said to him.

Long Yi did not react.

Gu Jiao paused, then reached out to take off his mask.

Just as she was about to touch it, she could feel Long Yi lean back slightly, an instinctive movements to avoid.

But he did not lean back too much.

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shall I take it off?"

This time, when she reached for Long Yi’s mask again, he did not avoid her.

Gu Jiao took off Long Yi’s mask.

Having seen the emperor’s Dragon Shadow Guards before, Gu Jiao thought Long Yi would be as frightening in appearance as they were, but when she saw Long Yi’s face, her eyes widened in shock.

What happened to being ordinary-looking?

He was exceptionally handsome, bordering on too much.

He had a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, thick brows slanting upwards into his hair, a well-defined facial structure, and his entire face exuded an extreme sense of cold austerity.

The first time he saw Xiao Liulang in the woods, Xiao Liulang had come rushing over suddenly, and Long Yi did not pay attention to his walk.

It was not until this moment that Long Yi seemed to finally realize his leg was crippled.

Long Yi knelt on one knee to inspect his leg.

"Long Yi!"

Xiao Liulang backed away a little.

Long Yi looked up at him.

There was a hint of confusion and perplexity in his eyes.

Suddenly, Long Yi stood up and whooshed out.

After a short while, he burst back in.

Gu Jiao stood at the door, her eyes squinting against the gusts of wind stirred up by Long Yi’s movement.

Long Yi brought over a huge pile of medicinal ointments, pushed Xiao Liulang down onto a chair, bent his tall and powerful body again to kneel on one knee, and began opening the jars to apply medicine to Xiao Liulang’s leg.

He applied one type and then had Xiao Liulang move a little.

Xiao Liulang had been a great pretender as a child, feigning severe injury from a simple fall to trick Long Yi into treating him and taking him out to play.

He never thought there would come a day when he didn’t have to trick Long Yi anymore.

He truly could not get better ever again.
