Chapter 629 Full of Regret
Even so, when she realized that her steps were still unsteady, she couldn't help but clench her fists and lower her head.
"Sir, you don't have to help me anymore. My legs have always been like this and it can't be cured."
The Eighth Princess bit her lower lip lightly, her voice trembling and helpless.
However, Shen Yuming did not let go. Instead, he held her hand even tighter and said softly, "Don't worry, I will make sure you don't fall."
These words were like a warm spring breeze, melting the ice in the Eighth Princess' heart.
She raised her head, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes.
The two walked slowly along the path until they reached the river.
The eighth princess squatted down to wash the stains on her face, and then noticed a little white rabbit jumping in the grass. Although the rabbit quickly disappeared, the beauty of this moment was deeply imprinted in her heart.
After returning to the caravan, the Eighth Princess climbed back into the carriage and looked outside through the window, searching for Shen Yuming.
Shen Yuming slowly approached, holding a cage woven with rattan, which contained a little rabbit with fur as white as snow. The Eighth Princess was immediately attracted and followed him closely.
Arriving in front of the carriage, Shen Yuming handed the cage to the Eighth Princess and said gently:
"Since you like this little rabbit, I caught it specially for you. The journey back to the capital is long, and with it as a companion, you may not feel lonely."
Taking the cage, the Eighth Princess' face was filled with unconcealed joy: "Is this caught specially for me?"
Shen Yuming just nodded slightly without saying much.
The Eighth Princess' smile became even brighter. At this moment, the image of Shen Yuming became more and more profound in her mind.
After the order to continue on the journey was given, the Eighth Princess gently stroked the little white rabbit's soft fur in the carriage, her mind full of thoughts.
"Shen Yuming is so considerate, he is really a trustworthy person. Little White Rabbit, do you think he will like me?"
She thought silently in her heart: "When I return to the capital, I will appear in front of him in my most beautiful appearance and surprise him."
Two days later, the team finally arrived in the capital.
Through the slightly opened curtains, the Eighth Princess looked at the bustling street scene and took a deep breath: "I'm finally back!"
After being imprisoned in the villa for four years, the Eighth Princess is now free and returning to the familiar city. Her feelings are indescribable.
When the team entered the city, Shen Yuming politely asked her where she was going.
Faced with Shen Yuming's concerned eyes, the Eighth Princess's cheeks flushed. She tightly hugged the rabbit cage in her hands and politely declined his kindness.
She planned to appear in front of him again with the most perfect posture and surprise, so that everyone could witness this scene.
In the past few days, the Eighth Princess learned that Shen Yuming was a minor official in the court.
She remembered his life-saving grace in her heart and was determined to ask her father for a generous reward. Although Shen Yuming was a little worried about her going back alone, he had to give up when he saw her determined eyes.
Finally, the Eighth Princess slowly got out of the car carrying the rabbit cage and bowed slightly to Shen Yuming: "Sir, goodbye."
Shen Yuming looked at the Eighth Princess quietly and said softly, "Miss, be careful on the road."
The Eighth Princess carried the rabbit cage and slowly left. Shen Yuming watched her for a long time before turning around and returning to the mansion.
When the Eighth Princess turned around, she saw Shen Yuming turning around. She tightly grasped the rabbit cage in her hand and silently said in her heart: We will see each other again soon.
Until Shen Yuming disappeared from view, the Eighth Princess lifted her skirt and walked straight towards the city defense army’s station.
She held her head high and glanced at everyone with cold eyes. Finally, she stopped in front of a general who seemed to have the highest position and threw the palace badge to him.
The city guard frowned as he looked at the ragged but imposing woman in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"How can you ask about my identity?" The Eighth Princess responded coldly.
The general was shocked after examining the badge. He immediately took it respectfully with both hands and carefully confirmed that it was correct.
Realizing that the person in front of him was a member of the royal family, he immediately became respectful and hurried to report.
"Your Highness..." he responded nervously.
"Go and tell the palace immediately that the princess is back."
The Eighth Princess gave the order. The city guards did not dare to neglect it and immediately arranged for the Eighth Princess to rest inside, and sent someone to the palace to report the news.
At the same time, in the Yangxin Palace of the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was heavy.
Concubine Zhuang burst into tears, worried about the safety of her daughter Qin'er: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards were killed by bandits, and Qin'er is missing..."
The emperor frowned and consoled her, "I have sent troops to search for her. They will definitely find Qin'er."
Concubine Zhuang blamed herself: "If I had known this, I should have gone to meet her in person. It is I who harmed Qin'er!"
Just as Concubine Zhuang was in deep grief, a young eunuch came running to report: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Princess has returned to the capital!"
"what?"
Concubine Zhuang was surprised and delighted: "Qin'er is really back?"
The young eunuch respectfully presented the Eighth Princess' jade pendant with both hands and said softly, "This was sent by the city guards."
Concubine Zhuang recognized it as Qin'er's beloved jade pendant, and her eyes suddenly became moist:
"Yes, it's Qin'er's jade pendant! She's back! Thank God, she's safe. Quick, go and welcome Qin'er!"
The emperor was relieved when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Set out immediately to welcome the Eighth Princess back to the palace."
Soon, a spectacular team set out to welcome the eighth princess.
The Eighth Princess, standing on the city wall, looked at the team coming to greet her, with a slight smile on her face.
No matter what mistakes she made in the past, she is still a noble princess.
"Eighth Princess, Old Slave is here to welcome you back to the palace."
Aunt Zhao, who was by Concubine Zhuang's side, came to greet her in person. Seeing the familiar faces, the Eighth Princess felt that she had really returned home.
"Madam Zhao." she called softly.
When Aunt Zhao looked up and saw the Eighth Princess, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Princess, this old servant is here to take you back to the palace. The Queen is waiting for you in the palace."
Thinking of her mother, the Eighth Princess' heart was moved: "Let's go back to the palace."
With the help of Nanny Zhao, the Eighth Princess boarded the magnificent carriage.
Nanny Zhao wanted to take the rabbit cage from her arms, but the Eighth Princess held it tightly, obviously cherishing the rabbit very much.
"Princess, please leave this cage to me," advised Madam Zhao.
After a moment's hesitation, the Eighth Princess finally handed the rabbit cage to Aunt Zhao and told her, "You must take good care of it, let it grow healthily, and don't let it get hurt."
After returning to the palace, the Eighth Princess first paid her respects to the Emperor and Concubine Zhuang.
When Concubine Zhuang saw her daughter, tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged her tightly: "Qin'er, my good child, I can finally hug you again."
This scene is warm and touching, as if all the sorrows have disappeared.
The Eighth Princess cried out with tears in her eyes, "Mother, I am unfilial and was punished to go to the villa to reflect on my mistakes. I really know I was wrong and I will never do it again!"
She burst into tears, filled with regret.
Concubine Zhuang felt very distressed, and patted her back gently to comfort her, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
