Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 179 Falling into the Hole

This scene seemed familiar. Xiao Guoer bravely turned around and saw the person coming. She immediately shouted in surprise, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yunrong was no longer surprised by this kid's tendency to fall at any time. After seeing him stand firm, he only said, "Keep running. You can't stay here."

Xiao Guoer heard this and asked in confusion, "Why? We are hiding here, it is difficult for outsiders to find us!"

Zhao Yunrong frowned and said in a deep voice, "It will take a while for us to find us, but if the assassin can contact more companions, it will only take a short time for us to find us no matter how big this bush is."

Xiao Guoer understood that although the bushes could hide their figures, it was not a long-term solution. If the assassins sent more people to search, they would be discovered sooner or later and would be in greater danger.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guoer felt a sense of urgency in her heart.

The two of them began to run quickly again, but it was more strenuous than when they came. They bent their bodies and rushed forward with their heads down.

The wind whistled past her ears, and Xiao Guoer's heartbeat became more and more violent, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Although dense grass can conceal one's whereabouts to a certain extent, it also blocks some vision and poses certain safety risks.

In addition, Xiao Guoer was only focused on rushing forward, and his physical strength and energy were being rapidly depleted, so his reaction speed became slow.

So, when she realized the danger, it was too late.

She didn't know when the lush grass and forest beneath her feet gradually became sparse. Before she had time to think about the reason, her body suddenly lost its support and fell down without any warning.

There was a hole under her feet!

In terror she tried to grab onto something to stop herself from falling, but there was only empty air around her.

"Ah!" The fear of weightlessness made her involuntarily let out a panicked and high-pitched scream, as if to pierce the quiet space.

It was not until the feeling of weightlessness in her body gradually eased that she realized that her waist was supported by a strong and powerful hand.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yunrong displayed his superb martial arts skills, so that although the two of them fell into the cave, they only suffered some concussions, their legs were not broken, and they were not injured.

Xiao Guo'er's heart was beating like a drum. She swallowed her saliva in shock. Her trembling voice was full of gratitude as she called out softly, "My Lord!"

Zhao Yunrong stared intently at the person in front of him, only to see that the other person's eyes were wide open for fear of being contaminated by the mist. His eyes were full of fear that had not yet faded. He just looked at him helplessly, as if he was endlessly dependent on him.

He suddenly felt reluctant to let go of the slender waist in his hands.

He never knew that a man's waist could be more slender and softer than a woman's.

Just as he was distracted, he heard another cry of surprise in his ears, "Blood!"

The boy's eyes widened even wider, his gaze fixed on his arm.

After looking at it for a moment, he lifted his sleeves without hesitation.

Zhao Yunrong frowned slightly, but did not take any action to stop his presumptuous and rude behavior.

Xiao Guoer looked at the wound that had been simply treated. The bandage on it was now completely stained red with blood, and blood was still dripping down. She suddenly felt a little guilty. If it weren't for her, the two of them wouldn't have fallen here.

"Your Highness, please sit down. I will rebandage your wound first!"

She did not leave the medicine she found on the carriage in the cave yesterday. After all, she was in the wild, full of dangers, and no one could guarantee whether she would be injured again, so she deliberately carried it with her in case of emergency.

I never thought that this medicine would come in handy so soon.

Zhao Yunrong felt the slender waist twist under his palm, and then he saw Xiao Guoer squatting on the ground, untying the bag on her body, and searching for medicine and bandages inside.

After Xiao Guoer untied the bandage that had long been stained with blood, even though she had witnessed the severity of his injuries last night, she still couldn't help feeling shocked when she saw the flesh and bones visible and turned outward.

Just watching like this, she felt unbearable pain and almost suffocated. However, the prince gritted his teeth and did not utter even the slightest groan of pain. The expression on his face did not change at all.

"Your Highness, you don't have to endure it so hard. If you really feel the pain, you might as well scream it out loud. Don't think that this will damage your image. I can promise you that I will never tell anyone a word."

Xiao Guo'er didn't know what was wrong with her. Looking at the appearance of the Eighth Prince, she inexplicably felt a bit of pity in her heart.

Perhaps it was the words he muttered to himself last night when he had a high fever and called "mother" to the air that made her feel that he was just a normal person with flesh and blood who wanted his mother's love and comfort even when he was hurt?

Zhao Yunrong looked at Xiao Guoer with an extremely serious expression, gently sprinkled the medicine powder evenly on his wound, and then blew gently on the wound like coaxing a child, as if this could relieve his pain.

His arms felt numb as the slight breeze passed over them, and he couldn't help but lower his raven-black eyelashes, trying to hide the complex emotions in the depths of his eyes.

Cry out in pain? That seems like a very distant thing.

After his mother passed away, he cried out miserably because he could not bear the pain when he was bullied by his brothers and sisters and even eunuchs and palace maids.

However, no one had any sympathy for him, and all he got in return was endless ridicule and increasingly severe torture.

Since then, he has understood that these actions are futile and meaningless. Instead of crying and winning sympathy from others, or adding fun to those people, it is better to endure it silently and save energy to do something that helps to improve one's own abilities.

He knew the principle of the survival of the fittest since he was young, so he practiced martial arts day and night. Every step he took was extremely difficult, but he never gave up and finally became a strong man that no one dared to provoke easily.

As time went by, he gradually expanded his sphere of influence and looked for opportunities for revenge. The eunuchs and palace maids who had bullied him disappeared silently in the palace one by one; and those brothers and sisters who had bullied him were also cleverly designed by him and received the due punishment.

Gradually, he developed a strong character and would not waste his time and energy on useless trivialities such as complaining about life and wailing in pain.

For him, instead of complaining about the pain, it is better to get rid of the person who dared to hurt him!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunrong felt annoyed. He raised his eyes again and cast his gaze on Xiao Guoer who was concentrating in front of him.

He has always been calm and rational, but this person has disturbed his mind time and time again, even causing him to have some inappropriate thoughts and do some unreasonable actions!

For the first time, he felt powerless, as if things were out of his control.

But the strange thing is that even though he felt a little angry and irritated, he did not have the regret and determination he should have!
