Propped by his hand to stand up, the female looked secretly at the bowl of medicine at the nearby stone table and unforgivably replied, “Who says it is all right, it hurting to death.”

The female’s hand was tightly clutching his sleeves and refused to let go, as if she fear that he would run away. Wen Yu suffered speechlessly, even if she doesn’t tightly grab him, he wouldn’t have dared to run away! Tugging back and forth is not appropriate thus Wen Yu smile apologetically, “This older sister, why don’t I help you to check on the foot injury. If it is seriously, I will request a physician for you.”

The female rolled her eyes and replied, “There should not be any direct contact between men and women. Who needs you to check on my foot injury! Support me to walk a few steps to see if it can still move.”

“Oh, yes.” Wen Yu foolishly supported the female to walk up front and totally did not notice that there was a light figure silently neared the stone table…

Limping slowly for a few steps, Wen Yu wanted to tell her not to walk so much since she sprained her ankle but the female still insisted to walk forward a while longer before stopping. Her rude and unreasonable att.i.tude changed and she said, “It is fortunate that I still can walk! Forget about it, I will just go back later to rub some medicated oil on it and it will be fine.”

Wen Yu starred at her ankles and asked confusingly, “Are you really all right?” Just now, she was still in great pain and now after two steps she was back to normal?

Loosening his sleeves, the palace maid coldly snorted and criticising, “In the future, be careful when you walk. This is the Imperial Palace, not other places. If you are still impetuous and instead b.u.mped into one of the mistresses, you should worry about your skin.”

“Older sister’s is correct in lecturing.” Wen Yu did not dare to say more and kept nodding his head.

After ensuring with a secret glance that there was no one at the stone table, the female waved her hands and impatiently responded, “It is fine. You can do what you need to do.”

“Yes. Yes.” Wiping his forehead full of sweat, Wen Yu was secretly rejoicing. This female looked like someone who is not to be trifled with. It is fortunate that her injury was not serious else if this matter was made public, s.h.i.+fu will definitely scold him!

Running back to the side of the stone table and picked the tray up, Wen Yu lowered his head as he hurried pa.s.sed the female. He did not dare to glance at her, afraid that she will suddenly change her mind and not let him leave.

Seeing Wen Yu walking out of the small courtyard, the palace maid then walked quickly to the stone table. Her limping foot did not show any signs of injury as she stood by the stone table. After verifying that there was no one else around, she then whispered, “Older sister Shui Xin.”

At the side of the stone table and behind the tree, a slender silhouette walked towards Yi Yue and was about to say something when a “kuang dang” sounded nearby.

“My medicine! Oh no oh no…” Anxious panicky low voices sounded. The voice was clearly from the young medical attendant.

Medicine was spilled? Yi Yue frantically said, “Older sister Shui Xin, what to do?” It was so difficult for her to find this deserted place, where there are lush greenery around, to take action. But now the medicine is spilled, doesn’t it meant that they have wasted their energy?

Yi Yue’s was not resigned but Shui Xin was clam with slightly furrowed brows. Suddenly a thought flashed through her eyes and Shui Xin tugged on Yi Yue’s hand, anxiously said, “Lets go quickly.” Its not possible for the medicine bowl to break without rhyme or reason, and it is after it was manipulated by them. It was only when it was so near to the Imperial Prison before it broke, who was it? Who exactly was helping her in the dark?
