Chapter 1430: Chapter 1429: Are we very familiar?
Murder?
What do you mean?
Xi Jiu was momentarily stunned, then immediately flew into a rage!
"I nearly lost my life saving you, Commandery Princess! Not only do you not thank me, but you accuse me of trying to harm you?"
Xi Jiu had met countless unreasonable people over the years, but he had never seen such ingratitude!
No wonder she’s the daughter of Prince Yu. Truly, her mind is as wicked as his!
"When did I ever need you to save me?"
"If the Princess hadn’t ordered me to watch over you, do you think I would have saved you?"
"But I never intended to take my own life, you pushed me down just now, I didn’t want to go down!"
"You yourself... what?" Xi Jiu was a bit confused, what was going on here?
"You weren’t trying to jump off the cliff just now?"
"Why would I want to jump off a cliff for no reason?" Chu Feiyan almost couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
"Then you..."
"I, the Commandery Princess, was just in a bad mood and came here for some fresh air." Chu Feiyan looked at him, pouting: "My father was arrested, and I was the one who testified against him, how could I be in a good mood?"
"Even though Chu Minghao and I have no real bond, he is still my brother. With such a grave mistake, I’m afraid he’s going to be executed."
"My Prince Residence, suddenly lost two masters, even if I go back, I have to face its decline. Tell me, if it were you, would you be in a good mood?"
Xi Jiu remained silent, unsure if what she was saying was true or false.
Did she really not want to jump off the cliff just now?
"Then why were you... standing at the edge of the cliff...?"
Chu Feiyan pursed her lips: "When I was unhappy as a child, I’d climb to the mountains and shout. After shouting, I’d feel better."
"Besides, Chu Qianli was right. Even if my reputation is tarnished, it doesn’t mean I can’t go on. I can become a lady-in-waiting or a general. I don’t have to rely on a man."
Xi Jiu was still a bit confused.
So, she had taken the Princess’s words to heart.
Then just now...
"Just now, you rushed over and scared me, causing an accident! You almost got me killed!"
Chu Feiyan still glared at him.
But she wasn’t angry anymore. Actually, if Xi Jiu had really pushed her down just now, maybe it would all have ended.
However, if she had to "die" again now, she thought, she probably wouldn’t have the courage.
Raised in comfort since childhood, even a scraped skin felt painfully unbearable.
If she fell off a cliff, shattered... Ugh! The thought was terrifying!
She probably didn’t have the courage to die, did she?
Sometimes, she despised herself too, accomplishing nothing.
Her expression gradually became gloomy again.
Xi Jiu looked at her, not knowing what she was thinking.
A woman’s mind is too hard to guess.
"Then, since the Commandery Princess doesn’t intend to seek death, I will take the Commandery Princess back."
He still needed to report back to the Princess.
"Commandery Princess, will you stay at the palace for a while, or return to the Prince Residence now?"
"I don’t know." Chu Feiyan looked downcast, suddenly thinking that lingering here in these desolate mountains wasn’t bad.
No one knew her here, so no one would look at her with pity.
She didn’t need anyone’s sympathy at all.
"Did you really think I wanted to take my own life just now?" she suddenly asked.
Xi Jiu nodded, without a doubt.
Otherwise, why would he risk his life to save her?
Chu Feiyan seemed a bit surprised: "You’d risk your life to save me? Are we that close?"
