"This slave deserves to die. I failed to protect Mr. Zhao, please punish me!" After returning to the house, Qing Ju immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

Dugufan ignored her and walked straight to the table, carefully placing the child in his arms on the chair.

"This matter has nothing to do with Qing Ju. It was because I accidentally sprained my ankle that I fell!" Lu Zhaozhao gently tugged on his sleeve: "Let Qing Ju get up first!"

Dugu Fan looked down at the person with a slightly raised face: "She failed to fulfill her responsibility to take good care of you and failed to protect you. She deserves to be punished!"

"I accept my punishment!" Qing Ju kowtowed heavily.

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly became anxious: "It's not Qingju's fault!"

"Whose fault is that?" Dugufan narrowed his eyelids.

Lu Zhaozhao's pupils turned slightly, and he decisively threw the blame to Dugu Wei: "It's King Wei's fault!"

"..." Green Orange.

Is it really okay to throw all the blame to King Wei while he's away?

"It was him who pulled me hard and took me to Huanxian Pavilion. It was also because I was avoiding him that I accidentally sprained my ankle. Qingju stopped me and tried to pull me, but failed!" Lu Zhaozhao looked at him eagerly. She looked at him and begged: "You also know, how can Qingju, a maid, defeat King Wei? Therefore, all the mistakes are King Wei's fault. If you really want to punish people, why not go to Prince Wei's Mansion? ?”

When Dugufan heard this, he was angry and funny: "You have completely cleared up your fault!"

Lu Zhaozhao sneered and gently tugged on his sleeve again.

Dugufan was silent for a moment, and finally said, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" Qing Ju kowtowed heavily.

"Go get some ice cubes!" Dugufan ordered.

"Yes!" Qingju responded, stood up, and walked quickly out of the wing.

Dugufan knelt down and reached out to take off her shoes.

Lu Zhaozhao subconsciously retracted his foot: "I will do it myself!"

"You can see for yourself when you're hurt?" Dugu Fan raised his eyelids slightly, looking at her with dark eyes like a smile.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then silently stretched his feet in front of him.

Dugufan chuckled and took off her shoes and socks. Her white and delicate feet and slightly red and swollen ankles came into his sight.

The fingertips with clear bones pressed a few times on her red and swollen ankle.

"Hiss... it hurts..." Lu Zhaozhao took a breath, and his ankle, which was already aching slightly, instantly became more painful after he pressed it like this.

Dugufan retracted his hand: "No bones were injured, the problem is not big, just apply some medicine and rest for a few days, and you will be cured!"

"Have you ever studied medicine?" Lu Zhaozhao retracted his feet.

"I haven't learned this before, but simple injuries can still be treated!" As he spoke, Dugufan took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened the lid, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread instantly: "This medicine will reduce swelling. It’s good at removing blood stasis, just apply it twice a day and you’ll be able to bounce around in no time!”

"..." Lu Zhaozhao was embarrassed.

Think she is a rabbit?

Still alive and kicking!

"I'll do it myself!" Seeing that he was about to hold her feet, Lu Zhaozhao said hurriedly.

"Move around, your ankle doesn't hurt anymore?" Dugu Fan didn't even look at her, he held her foot without any doubt, picked up a piece of white ointment with his fingertips, and gently applied it on her red and swollen ankle.

The cool touch made her originally painful ankle feel much better instantly.

But as he continued to rub gently, an itchy and numb feeling spread from her ankles to her limbs.

An uncontrollable blush appeared on her cheeks. "I'll do it myself!" Lu Zhaozhao pulled back his foot, as if he was afraid that he would disagree, and hurriedly raised the injured ankle to the other leg, and started rubbing it himself.

Dugufan stood up with the medicine and put it on the table behind her: "Remember, apply it twice a day!"

"Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao responded with his head lowered.

Looking at the crown of hair she left for him, Dugufan chuckled: "Are you shy?"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!

"Your Majesty! The ice cubes are here!" At this moment, Qingju held the ice cubes and hurried back.

"Give it to me!" Lu Zhaozhao spoke first.

Qingju didn't move, his eyes subconsciously looked at Dugufan.

Dugufan raised his chin slightly and signaled: "Give it to her!"

"Yes!" Qingju responded, stepping forward in three steps at a time, looking at her red and swollen ankle, and said tentatively: "Mr. Zhao! Should I help you apply it, please?"

"No need!" Lu Zhaozhao took the ice cube wrapped in a handkerchief from her hand and placed it on the injured ankle: "I hurt my ankle, not my hand!"

The implication is, I can do it myself!

Hearing this, Qing Ju didn't say anything more and silently exited the room.

Dugu Fan casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to her: "Let's see if you dare to turn a deaf ear to my words next time?"

Lu Zhaozhao paused slightly while applying the ankle towel, and looked at him innocently with a pair of clear eyes: "Does the prince mean leaving the palace with Prince Wei? Or going to Huanxian Pavilion?"

"What do you think?" Dugufan asked without replying.

Lu Zhaozhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "If the prince is referring to going to Huanxian Pavilion, I think it's nothing? I just went there to have a meal and didn't do anything else!"

"What do you want to do? Can you do it?" Dugu Fan glanced at her coolly.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

It really can’t be done!

"Huanxian Pavilion is said to be a place where literati and elegant guests gather, but in fact, there are no people from all three religions and nine classes? You are lucky today and did not meet the free-spirited young master. If you did, who are you going to let protect you? Five Emperors Brother?" Dugufan asked.

"..." When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, the scene of King Wei being chased and beaten by the princess flashed through his mind, and he shook his head decisively.

Instead of expecting him to protect her, she might as well keep herself safe!

"Also, don't pretend to be confused because I think you understand!" Dugu Fan pointed out and tapped her forehead lightly.

"How could I?" Lu Zhaozhao touched the painful forehead he knocked on, but he didn't have enough confidence to defend himself: "I didn't leave the house with him voluntarily, it was the result of his forceful force!"

"Do you think the king didn't ask the guard?" Dugufan snorted in a nonchalant manner: "According to the guard, you and the Fifth Emperor Brother were very happy when you left the mansion!"

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

It seems that next time, she will have to bribe the doorman not to tell the prince anything!

We must learn to say what should be said and not say what should not be said!

"You were so eloquent just now, why are you silent now?" Dugufan asked knowingly.

Lu Zhaozhao laughed dryly: "I was wrong! At worst, next time, King Wei invites me out of the palace, I will ask your opinion first, and I will go after you agree!"

"I have said so much, and this is all you have to realize?" Dugufan asked.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

if not?

What else does she need to realize?

Facing her blank expression, Dugu Fan suddenly felt like he was playing the piano to a cow.
