Kou Qiwen's broad sleeve completely concealed the sachet. His hidden hand kept twitching as though in unbearable pain. Only after a long while did he raise his head with a strained expression, as if the pain had eased a little.
"Ow, ow, ow..."
Then he met two utterly unmoved faces.
Kou Qiwen: "..."
What was going on?!
Wasn't the Crown Prince famously generous and kind, and the Little Princess sensible, softhearted, and caring?!
Why weren't they even planning to help him up?!
Some court officials, however, were drawn by the commotion and gathered around with concerned expressions-
"Your Highness!" Without so much as glancing at the man on the floor, the newcomer headed straight toward Jiang Tinghuai and Jiang Yingcheng. "Are you and the Little Highness all right?!"
Kou Qiwen: "???"
Jiang Tinghuai smiled graciously. "I'm fine, but the little one may have been hurt. Sorry for the trouble, Duke Wang, but please notify the palace servants and have them summon an imperial physician to examine her."
Duke Wang's face changed in alarm. He turned on his heel and hurried away at once.
The other officials stayed behind to inquire after the little one.
Jiang Yingcheng was very pleased to have everyone gathered around her!
[Hehehe, come closer, all of you!]
[Now even more uncles will know what Kou Qiwen did!]
Besides, once the uncles crowded around, the rulers of the other countries wouldn't be able to see what was happening here...
She still wanted Great Rui to leave the other nations with some impression of unity from top to bottom!
Although this might block Uncle Liaochen and the others' view, she had already thought of a solution!
Jiang Yingcheng was so delighted that her smiling eyes curved into little crescents.
Those in the innermost circle were all Upright Officials
