Chapter 1296: Chapter 780: Return to Daxuan Kingdom (Part 2)
She secretly slipped out of the palace to go to the Beiyuan Country to help An Ji, her brother must have felt like killing her!
"You still know to come back?!" Xiao Luming’s eyes were cold.
"Aren’t I back safe and sound? Not missing an arm or a leg." An Youyou acted coquettishly.
Putting on a man’s face and acting coquettish is a bit awkward, but in the end, she had no choice but to act that way.
"You still dare to be missing an arm or a leg?!"
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare." An Youyou shook her head, "Anyway, I’m perfectly fine, not injured at all. Don’t you think I’ve even gained some weight?"
As she spoke, An Youyou went over to pull Luming’s hand, asking her to pinch the flesh on her face.
Xiao Luming looked disgusted, "Take off your human skin mask for me."
"I’ll go right away." An Youyou obeyed willingly.
"An Youyou!" Xiao Luming called her.
"Yes."
"If you ever again disobey me and do something dangerous behind my back, I’ll break your legs when you return!" Xiao Luming threatened.
"I wouldn’t dare anymore, I wouldn’t dare anymore from now on." An Youyou tried to please her.
"Hurry and go clean yourself up." Xiao Luming looked disgustedly at An Youyou’s current makeup.
"Yes."
An Youyou immediately turned around and ran off.
Her brother’s aura was truly overwhelming.
She dared not act recklessly in front of him!
After finally returning to her own palace, the palace attendants were all shocked at the sight of her, only calming down after An Youyou tore off her human skin mask.
She had to admit, wearing the human skin mask for four or five months was unbearable.
It wasn’t very breathable after all.
Now that she had torn it off, her face was overly flushed due to some allergy.
She washed her face with warm water, used the cream personally made by her mother to wipe it down, and then let the palace attendants help her bathe before finally changing into her princess attire.
Looking at her restored appearance in the copper mirror, An Youyou felt a wave of emotions inside.
This meant that.
A Li was no longer around.
All her experiences in Beiyuan Country were no more.
"Youyou!"
A familiar female voice interrupted An Youyou’s thoughts.
An Youyou turned around and saw Xiao Anqi, who was obviously overly excited.
No need to think, her brother must have informed Anqi that she was back.
"Youyou!" Anqi hugged An Youyou tightly.
Clearly afraid of never seeing her again.
An Youyou still felt a bit guilty.
She actually knew how worried they must have been when she left without a word to such a dangerous place.
But it wouldn’t happen again.
From now on, she and An Ji would have no further interaction.
"Sister Anqi, I’m perfectly fine, not a scratch on me." An Youyou comforted.
Anqi released An Youyou and looked her over.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, her eyes reddened again, "You have no idea how worried I was about you, Youyou. How could you go to such a dangerous place alone? What if something happened to you..."
Anqi couldn’t continue.
"It wouldn’t happen, I’m so clever, how could anything happen to me." An Youyou laughed carefree, "I was just out for a little adventure."
"You should not do this again next time." Anqi said seriously.
"There won’t be a next time." An Youyou nodded obediently.
Seeing that An Youyou was indeed unharmed, Anqi calmed down a little.
In that calm moment, Anqi couldn’t help but ask, "Youyou, tell me, why did you risk going to Beiyuan Country to save An Ji, is it because you..."
"No." An Youyou immediately interrupted Anqi.
The more she acted this way, the more suspicious Anqi became.
During the time An Youyou had been away, Anqi had been speculating.
Other than that one reason, she couldn’t find any other reason why Youyou would risk herself like this.
"It’s not what you think, just a doctor’s benevolence. At most, An Ji was saved by me as a child, and I didn’t want him to die like this again." An Youyou made an excuse.
Anqi’s expression became visibly displeased, "Youyou, are you going to lie to even me?"
An Youyou bit her lip.
"We grew up together, even though you often followed Father and Mother in the Imperial Palace and weren’t around much, our bond has always been strong. I’ve always felt that there’s nothing you wouldn’t tell me." Anqi was somewhat stern.
When Anqi turned serious, An Youyou would become subdued.
She wasn’t afraid of anything or anyone, but she feared disappointing those who genuinely cared for her.
She didn’t want to tell Anqi because she didn’t want her to worry.
Anqi had always been someone who considered everything from others’ perspectives, and she feared that if she told Anqi, it would make her more upset than herself.
