'Bang——'
The sound of the door closing came, and only then did the tears in Yun Chunnuan's eyes slowly fall.
She gently let out a breath, cautiously as if afraid of disturbing something...
When Qiao'er pushed open the door and tiptoed in, she saw the little girl curled up in the corner of the bed, clutching her knees, her face full of tears.
The corners of her lips still had traces of dried blood, directly smeared on her pale little face, a clear sign of having been vigorously wiped.
Qiao'er thought of the general who had just kept spitting blood droplets from his mouth, and she didn't need to ask to guess some of it.
She walked up lightly, using the softest voice of her life to comfort, "Princess, actually... the General is really good to you! Although there are many women in the mansion, the General has never killed a Da Bao for anyone. Even eggs are only given out two during festivals..."
It was better not to mention the women in the mansion, but as soon as she did, the Little Princess's tears fell even more fiercely.
She grabbed the quilt and rubbed her already swollen lips hard again without further ado.
Qiao'er panicked.
How could she have seen such a scene?
The women of Bianliao are fierce and strong, never shedding tears in front of others; it's unacceptable! It's shameful!
But this Little Princess from Great Xia Country, it's as if she's made of water, her tears like a broken string of pearls, plopping down onto the quilt.
Qiao'er felt a pang in her heart watching this.
Her gaze fell on the big boxes in the room, and she quickly walked over, rummaging through them, exclaiming, "Wow! This is your Central Plains' Cloud Brocade! Wealth can't buy it! It's said that only the Queen in the palace can use it! The General actually gave it to the Princess!
Wow wow! This Luminous Pearl! I remember it was awarded to the General by the King last year, even Auntie Si's Little Nian Nian couldn't get it!"
Qiao'er was going through the rare treasures in the two big boxes, at first with the intention to cheer up the Little Princess.
The more she looked, the more startled she became; did the General give all of the General Mansion's treasures to the Little Princess?
These clothes and accessories are all things other aunts have dreamt of getting but couldn't!
Wow! Are there also children's toys here?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, is the General being too good to this Little Princess from the Central Plains?
Qiao'er frowned slightly, scratched her head, and instinctively looked up at the Little Princess.
But she found that she had already stopped crying and was curiously watching her.
Those big, dewy eyes, the long lashes still hung with crystalline tears, just like a budding hibiscus flower!
Suck!
Such a cute little beauty, no wonder the General would 'do anything for her'...
Is that the phrase?
Right! It's that he would treat her well without holding back!
If she were a man! She would willingly as well!
Qiao'er didn't know there's a phrase called 'looks obsessed'.
Her General was a late-stage patient obsessed with beauty, and she wasn't much better; faced with the Little Princess's fair, glutinous face, she almost drooled.
The little girl looked at her with infatuation, and Yun Chunnuan couldn't help blushing, "Do I have flowers on my face?"
Tsk! Her voice is so soft and pleasant!
Qiao'er nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Has the Princess seen hibiscus flowers? The Princess is even more beautiful than hibiscus!"
The little girl said, opening her hands, holding her own dark little face.
That exaggerated yet cute action made Yun Chunnuan break into laughter through tears, "You're so exaggerated."
When the little girl wanted to continue the praise, Yun Chunnuan took a deep breath, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed.
With bare, fair little feet, she came to the stone table and drank the bowl of chicken soup in one gulp.
Damn it! Not drinking it would be a waste! That brute was right, without a healthy body, how would she have the strength to escape!
She had made up her mind, she must leave this hellish place before the grand wedding!
