The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 72
It was already dark, and the surroundings were quiet. Occasionally, a few crows could be heard, and Jiang Zhizhi took out his hand that had been soaking in the water.

It was very red and swollen, and because of too much force, some trembled slightly, and the skin on the joints was even broken. Jiang Youzhi tried to touch it, and the pain was unbearable.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound from the grass in the distance. She couldn't help but look over there. After careful identification, there seemed to be footsteps.

She looked there vigilantly, then turned her head, and slowly got up, the dagger that was originally hidden in her sleeve was tightly held in her hand.

As the footsteps got closer, suddenly, a hand rested on Jiang Youzhi's shoulder without warning, she subconsciously raised the knife in her hand, and turned around to stab, but the man easily controlled her hands .

The short knife immediately fell to the ground, and Jiang Youzhi scratched it with one hand in a panic. While she was struggling to push, a voice came from her ear: "Miss Jiang, you are lonely!"

Only then did Jiang Youzhi stop hesitantly, seeing the face of the person in front of her clearly through the moonlight, she was a little surprised and said, "His Royal Highness?"

Only then did Chu Zan say, "Sorry, I scared you."

Jiang Youzhi was still holding on to Chu Zan's arm, so he quickly let go and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Chu Zan said casually, "Let's relax at night and pass by."

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help muttering in his heart, relax in the middle of the night, to someone else's house?What a unique way to relax.

Chu Zan looked at the clothes all over the place, and couldn't help saying, "What's going on? Miss Jiang should be a distinguished guest of Pei's residence, why would they let you come here to suffer!"

Jiang Youzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Chu Zan didn't ask any more questions, but he lowered his eyebrows and saw her red and swollen left hand for a moment, and held her hand anxiously, his tone full of concern: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Jiang Youzhi immediately withdrew her hand and hid it in her sleeve: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt."

Seeing this, Chu Zan grabbed her hand again, and just touched it lightly, and Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but groan in pain.

Chu Zan shook his head helplessly, took out a small porcelain bottle from his skirt, and said, "If you're already like this, you still have to be brave. I'll help you get some medicine."

Jiang Youzhi wanted to refuse: "No need, His Royal Highness..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Zan: "Don't move."

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Jiang Youzhi had no choice but to give up, and saw Chu Zan gently holding her hand with one hand, and gently helping her sprinkle the medicine powder with the other hand.

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help frowning slightly at the pain from his hand, Chu Zan glanced at her and said, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Youzhi nodded, and Chu Zan slowly approached her hand, blowing lightly, and while she was in a daze, asked, "Would this be better?"

Jiang Youzhi came back to his senses, nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, it's much better."

Chu Zan gave her a gentle smile, bowed his head and continued to help her apply the medicine. Jiang Youzhi looked at Chu Zan in front of him, a little thoughtful.

After Chu Zan finished applying the medicine for himself, he stuffed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Jiang Youzhi: "Take the medicine well, remember to apply it every day, otherwise it will leave scars."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."

But he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, why do you carry it with you?" He raised his hand and shook the small porcelain bottle in front of him.

Chu Zan sighed vaguely, and his voice was a little lonely: "I've gotten used to it over the years, and it's convenient to carry it on my body. If I get injured, it's convenient. After all, many eyes are staring at Gu Hu."

Thinking about it this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also pitiful, his biological mother died young, the emperor has been strict with him since he was a child, and the big aristocratic families are also eyeing him. If there is even the slightest mistake in a word or deed, those people will make a big fuss about it. tired.

Chu Zan turned his head, looked at the woman beside him, and frowned slightly, but under the bright moonlight, she was still shockingly beautiful, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Jiang Youzhi noticed the gaze fixed on him, and couldn't help turning his head slightly, and gently shook his palm in front of Chu Zan: "Your Highness? Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Only then did Chu Zan come back to his senses, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Youzhi's hand, and his voice was a little obsessed: "Miss Jiang, lonely..."

Jiang Youzhi broke away from him in embarrassment: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

But Chu Zan shook his head, turned to look up at the moonlight, and said for no reason: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Then he said: "What happened last time was careless and made you suffer in prison."

Jiang Youzhi quickly said: "It's nothing, the Crown Princess misunderstood that day."

Chu Zan frowned, looked at Jiang Youzhi's eyes hesitant to speak, and thought for a while before saying, "She didn't misunderstand, but don't worry, Gu will restrain herself in the future, and when Gu is fully capable of protecting you, Gu..."

In the middle of speaking, Chu Zan stopped suddenly. Jiang Youzhi looked at the man in front of him. Naturally, she had already guessed what he was thinking, but she didn't break it. She just pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "When I was at home, I Sneak out to play at night, just like now, sitting by the river, but there is no river here..."

Looking at her happy appearance at this moment, Chu Zan felt that all the melancholy in his heart seemed to have disappeared, and said softly: "Since I was a child, I was taught by my husband that the more respectful you are, the more respectful you are, so you never broke any rules when you were young. Now that I think about it, my memory is full of boring things, and it really makes me sad to think about it.”

Chu Zan felt a little lonely at this moment, Jiang Youzhi said to him: "Your Highness is a prince, and the people of the world are on his back, each doing his own thing. Naturally, there are many opportunities for ordinary people, but you Caring for the common people is the well-being of the common people, so there is no need to feel melancholy."

Chu Zan smiled and nodded: "If the princess can understand me as well as you..."

After Jiang Youzhi heard this, he said again: "The Crown Princess is also very fond of you, I can see that she cares about you very much."

But Chu Zan laughed mockingly: "Care? You don't understand. Over the years, Gu often feels that he is in a cage and can't breathe for a moment. Sometimes Gu wakes up from a nightmare and wonders when he can escape from this prison." everything."

Seeing this, Jiang Youzhi took off the sachet from his waist and handed it to Chu Zan. His eyes were full of innocence and he said: "Your Highness, this sachet is specially made by me. The herbs in it have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. You can try it." Try putting it next to your pillow before bed and it might help ease your nightmares."

Chu Zan took the sachet over flattered, and his hands trembled with excitement: "Okay, I will keep this sachet by my side day and night, and it will never leave me for a moment."

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Youzhi couldn't help covering his face and smiling: "But this one is old, if you like it, I can sew a new one for you."

But Chu Zan said: "No, no, this is very good. I am already very satisfied to get the sachet that Miss Jiang carries with me."
