Chapter 399 Where are you going?

"Call the doctor!" A panicked voice sounded in the background. But the voice was very faint, like an echo in a cave.

"Mrs. Xu, what are you doing? Hurry up and save the princess from the water!" At this time, the sound of shoes echoed on the wet tiles of the bathhouse, and another person shouted loudly.

Xiaohua couldn't concentrate for a moment and the room was in a mess.

Because the Crown Princess suddenly left the palace, the palace maids followed her out. No one remembered to bring a change of clothes, so one person had to rush out to get clothes while the other ran out to call the imperial physician.

"Princess..." Xiao Hua called out in a low voice and walked towards the confused leader. When he turned around, a confused look appeared in his eyes.

Madam Xu Jiaqi had already helped the Crown Princess out of the water. She stammered, "Here, here are the steps..."

The Crown Princess was rescued from the water. She moved, but her steps were strange. Her body was still there, but her heart was not - only a shell remained.

"Your Highness, the Princess should be on her way." Xiaohua explained, holding a linen robe in her hand, which was the closest to clean clothes she could find.

Xiao Hua was wholeheartedly focused on the princess and had no time to care about other things. The maids were also busy with other things. They probably didn't dare to make any moves on her when the princess was so vulnerable.

They were lined up along the wall, ready to serve her.

Everyone knew Madam Xu's temper, and her identity as a palace maid must have taken root in her heart.

After a while, the door opened again, and the maid who had gone out earlier came back. Xiaohua hurriedly supported the maid beside her, and soon, the Crown Princess put on her clothes and prepared to return home.

The Crown Princess took her first step, but stumbled.

"Miss Xu!" Xiao Hua hurriedly whispered, "This step, you have to take the princess over."

Xu Jiaqi glared at the maid fiercely. She was several levels higher than them. What right did Xiaohua have to say that?

"Sorry, Princess, the steps here are very slippery." Xu Jiaqi explained, supporting the Crown Princess' elbow.

"Do not touch me."

Xu Jiaqi narrowed her eyes. She just wanted to help. She didn't say anything else and put her hands down. "Okay, it's up to you," she thought sourly in her heart.

Xiao Hua muttered to himself as he anxiously followed the Crown Princess, looking ahead cautiously. Fortunately, the corridor was paved relatively flat and there was nothing that could hurt the Crown Princess.

"Miss Xu, where are you going?" Xiao Hua asked when he saw the woman following him.

"The maid who went to look for the imperial physician hasn't come back to report that the imperial physician is waiting in the mansion. I'll go look for her to make sure she's not lost."

Xiaohua was too lazy to ask any more questions, and she didn't want to deal with this annoying palace maid.

"Princess, please allow us to come in," Xiaohua said when they finally reached the door of the main house of the mansion.

Xiaohua pushed open the door and the Crown Princess walked in. Although her hair was wet and her clothes were sticking to her body, she went straight to the bedroom.

"Princess..." Xiaohua said worriedly. It would be terrible if the prince and princess fell asleep with wet hair and clothes.

"The imperial physician is coming soon." Just as she finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Xiao Hua perked up and ran to the door, opened it, and was disappointed to see Miss Xu Jiaqi holding a tray of freshly brewed tea.

"Where is the doctor?" Xiaohua asked. She looked at the tea, and the air was filled with the fragrance of chamomile.

"He was a few steps slower. This stupid maid was going to call the imperial physician right away, but the imperial physician was packing up, so she went to get tea instead."

Madam Xu Jiaqi glared at Xiao Hua and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Don't you know that servants don't talk? You talk too much."

Xiao Hua's shoulders sank. Madam Xu was right...

Xiaohua turned her head to look at the ground. She was so flustered that she forgot where she was. She was so concerned about the eldest princess.

"Close the door." Xu Jiaqi ordered and put the tray on the table.

"You didn't let the princess into the bedroom?!" she hissed.

"I tried to stop her. We're not stupid, Mrs. Xu. We know it's not good to sleep with wet hair."

"-No, I mean the bed. There is an envelope under the bed that has been blessed by a high monk in the temple. It must not get wet." Mrs. Xu Jiaqi said sternly.

"Do I have to do everything by myself?" Xu Jiaqi thought to herself.

Xu Jiaqi now just wants to go back and live her own comfortable life. She hates serving others the most. It is more fun to be around the Queen. She wishes she could live up to her identity as the Crown Princess' maid.

Xu Jiaqi believed that her pitiful service would make the Crown Princess so angry that she would drive her away.

"If I get depressed enough, the princess will definitely send me away. Then I can go back to the queen and enjoy our regular tea time together," she thought to herself.

Just then, the door opened again and the imperial physician came out.

"What are you waiting for? Go and greet him..." Xu Jiaqi stopped talking. Where did the little maid go? She looked around and, sure enough, the maid was gone.

Xu Jiaqi was shocked when she saw the servant was actually in the bedroom. This stupid woman, doesn't she value her life?! She narrowed her eyes.

"Tsk, she finally dried the princess' wet hair, but what's the use now? The bed is already wet."

Xu Jiaqi suppressed a sigh and reminded herself: "Be patient... Be patient..."

Xu Jiaqi quickly looked around. No one was paying attention to her. Everyone's attention was focused on the bedroom door that suddenly closed. Only then did she realize that another servant was still inside.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Xu Jiaqi quickly ran to the door, opened it, but found it was pitch black inside.

Ok?

Xu Jiaqi felt a chill all over her body, her heart beating faster than an arrow, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the love of her life.

The prince arrived. A storm was brewing above his head. The air was as cold as his fierce eyes. His overwhelming aura filled the entire manor.

"Your Highness..." Xu Jiaqi responded in a low voice and quickly bowed her head to salute. Her heart was beating wildly like a wild horse running in the wilderness.

The other maids also lowered their heads and bowed deeply. They were afraid that they would have difficulty breathing and fail to live up to the prince's orders. Even when the prince passed by them, no one dared to look up.

The air was filled with murderous intent. Although his face was calm, everyone knew that the prince was beyond furious.
