Chapter 7 — Waking Up Dreaming and Doaning Love Lang

Not long after, from deep in the forest came the sound of horses neighing. Immediately afterwards there was chaos.

“Someone fell off his horse!”

“On the west side of the cliff!”

“Hurry and save people!”

Bui Dien wore a black cavalry outfit, rode a horse and rushed out from the direction he had ambushed. In front of him, an out-of-control reddish-brown horse was madly rushing down the mountainside. On horseback, Bui Ngoc Duong clutched the reins and shouted in panic:

“Brother, save me!”

At this point Bui Dien saw clearly the person on horseback, his face immediately changed dramatically. He wanted to stop the horse, but it was too late. The horse rushed straight towards the cliff not far away, rocks continuously rolling down under its hooves. He gritted his teeth and spurred his horse forward. In front of so many people's eyes— Right on the brink, Bui Dien reached out to hug Bui Ngoc Duong who was falling off his horse. The two of them rolled down together, disappearing into the bushes on the cliff side. I stood from afar and watched the layer of dust gradually disappear at the edge of the cliff, the corners of my lips curling up slightly. That night, unfortunately, there was a heavy rain. It wasn't until the next morning that the two were found. When the news reached the barracks, I was sitting in the tent drinking porridge. The maid opened the curtain and walked in, lowered her voice and said:

"Miss, we have found someone. Prince Bui's left leg was broken. As for Miss Bui... when she fell, her face hit the rock, a gash from the eyebrow to the chin, all the skin turned out."

The corners of my eyes curled up. I used a scarf to hide the smile at the corner of my lips. That's correct. I never wanted to complete them. My Tham Xu is not that generous. The day I changed horses with Bui Ngoc Duong, I thought carefully. If Bui Dien saved someone on flat ground, at most he would only fall once and scratch his skin. But that's a cliff. Rushing down from a high place to save a person falling from a horse, only a broken leg was considered minor. 【? No, why did the plot deviate like this? The male lead broke his leg? Ngoc Duong was destroyed?】 【This is not the scene of a hero saving a beauty I want to see! Shouldn't the male lead hug Ngoc Duong in the mountain cave under the abyss, confess his feelings to each other, and then the fire will almost burn!!】 【What did the female supporting character do in the end? Did she do it on purpose?!]

At noon, Bui Dien sent someone to invite me. The person who came was a small private, bowing his head respectfully and standing outside the tent.

"Miss Shen, the prince said he wanted to meet you once."

"His leg is broken and he still wants to see me?"

“Your Highness said there are a few words that must be clearly stated to you directly.”

I thought for a moment then stood up and went to the Marquis's tent. The tent was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Bui Dien was half lying and half leaning on a soft pillow, his left leg was braced with a wooden board, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless. Seeing me walk in, his eyes moved slightly.

“Xu Nhi.”

I stood right at the tent door, not moving forward.

"If there's anything wrong with Prince Bui, just say it directly."

He smiled bitterly.

“She is still angry with me.”

“I have nothing to be angry about.”

“So why are you standing so far away?”

“Tu Tu Bui, if you called me here just to say these meaningless words, I will take my leave.”

“Wait.”

In Bui Dien's eyes, some regret and pain appeared.

"Xu Nhi, I have something to say to you. What happened that day... was my mistake."

"Before, I was blinded and couldn't clearly see Ngoc Duong's true face. She... she had such deep intentions. Because she wanted to cling to me, she deliberately changed horses with her!”

"Fortunately, the one who fell from the horse that day was her."

He stopped, his eyes fell on my face, bringing with it some luck.

“That face of hers, I looked at it one more time and felt scary. If the person who was destroyed was you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life!”

Looking at his appearance of deliberately showing affection, a wave of nausea arose in my stomach.

“Then I ask you.”

“If I don't trade horses with her, the one who will be destroyed will be me.”

“Are you still going to say these words?”

Bui Dien's throat was choked and he couldn't answer for a long time. At that moment, the tent curtain was lifted by someone from outside. Mrs. Hau stood at the door. Behind her is Bui Ngoc Duong, his face wrapped in bandages. How long she stood out there, how much she heard, I don't know. But at this time Bui Ngoc Duong was as silent as a dry log. Bui Dien saw her and instinctively turned away. 【The male lead hates Ngoc Duong because he was destroyed... my ship is destroyed.】 【What a peerless scum. As soon as Ngoc Duong destroyed her face, he said she was scary?】 【The woman is really skilled, without shedding blood, she made this male and female dog couple tear each other's faces apart.】 I've seen enough, turned around and left. Bui Dien called out from behind:

"Xu Nhi, don't go, I still have something to say..."

I don't stop walking.

“What you just said, if I had said it a few days earlier, maybe I would have believed three parts. Now you step on her to lift me up, do you think I will be moved?"

“I just feel that you are ungrateful and ungrateful to the core.”

After speaking, I opened the curtain and walked out. Behind him, Bui Dien's voice was both angry and frantically calling out:

“Tham Xu!”

After the autumn hunt, Bui Ngoc Duong proactively left Vinh Xuong Marquis's palace. Mrs. Hau told the outside that she was being taken to the manor to recuperate. But actually everyone knows she was sent away. The wound on her face was stitched, but in the end it still left a scar. The Marquis could not bear this loss of face, and did not want to keep a nursing daughter who had spread impure rumors with the crown prince right in front of his eyes. On the seventh day after Bui Ngoc Duong was taken away by the Marquis Palace, the maid came in to report that she was at the back door of the Tham Palace and wanted to see me once. I put down the phone book in my hand and thought for a moment.

“Let her in.”
