TFDC Chapter 172.1

Chapter 172.1 - Purposely being injured to gain pity




Lan Bai wanted to head out and control the horse but the originally fine horse seemed like it had gone mad.


It kept trying to gallop forward and just as she was about to give up, a figure suddenly appeared by her side.


The figure took the reins from her hand and turned to shout at her, “Jump off first!”


“Third prince?” Lan Bai was shocked at the person who shouldn’t have appeared her.


“Quickly!” Xiahou Qing’s lips were pursed as his face grew concentrated.


“But master’s still inside the carriage.”


“This little prince will control the carriage!” The carriage kept bumping up and down as Xiahou Qing’s expression grew even more anxious.


Loan Bai knew that there was no point in staying here so she bit down on her lips.


She hugged her head before jumping down.


Luckily, she did have a bit of a martial arts background so she knew to roll around when she hit the ground before stopping.


When she lifted up her head, she could only watch silently as Lou Qingwu’s carriage grew further and further away.


“Master!”


Lan Bai screamed but it didn’t help call back the crazed carriage at all.


Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed before waiting for the carriage to stop shaking so hard.


She struggled to reach the front of the carriage before lifting up the curtains and seeing the scenery galloping past her.


The carriage had somehow already left the capital and was galloping towards the mountains, growing further and further away from the capital.


Lou Qingwu’s expression became dark before hearing breathing next to her.


Xiahou Qing quickly glanced at her, “Go back first, I’ll figure out a way to control this carriage.”


“This horse has gone crazy, continuing like this isn’t a method.”

“But …” Xiahou Qing froze, clearly not expecting her to be so calm.


“Jump off the carriage then.” If they continued like this, they’d only continue to grow further away from the carriage.


If it grew dark, they might even have to camp outside which isn’t what she wanted.


“But you don’t have inner strength. If you jump down like this, you’ll probably get injured.” Xiahou Qing’s brows were furrowed with worry.


He smile comfortingly at her, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely think of a method to stop this carriage.”


“But you’re injured.” Lou Qingwu’s eyes were fixed on his chest injury that was beginning to seep blood.


Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.


Xiahou Qing’s heart suddenly beat faster, gripping her hands, “It’s fine, it’s just a small wound.”


Lou Qingwu froze and looked at him.


If she didn’t understand him too well, she really would’ve thought that he was worried for her.


As if he really didn’t worry about his own wound, but how could she not know him?


The horses suddenly went crazy which looked like an accident, but it was well within his expectations.


It seemed like he’d finally decided to make a move.


So how could she not accompany him and act out her role?


She lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness in them before revealing a small face that was as pale white as snow, “But I don’t want to burden you.”


Xiahou Qing’s originally hard heart started to sway.


Was he really thinking too much?


How could a person like her want to help Xiahou Rui?


Not to mention that she’s just an official’s little daughter, which meant even if she was clever, all she had was a pretty face and a little bit of intelligence.


But what if?


Xiahou Qing was struggling to decide before the horse seemed to have stepped on a rock, suddenly jolting the carriage.


Xiahou Qing’s eyes widened before suddenly grabbing Lou Qingwu’s waist and hugging her, jumping down from the carriage.


He brought her down but his body hit the side of the road hard, smashing his chest injury so hard he was about to faint.


For the sake of making it look even more real, he didn’t use any inner strength either.


So this time, he’d actually gotten injured for real, making his face shockingly pale.

TL note:  


Xiahou Qing’s really going all out.
