After hearing this, Gu Nian was obviously not very interested. She sat back on the rock and held down the maid: “You have seen the princes and princesses from various countries in the palace. You must learn to be reserved.”
The maid immediately shook her head: “No, no, no, Your Highness, she is truly a beauty!”
Gu Nian pulled the dog’s tail grass with a lazy expression, not believing it: “Can she still be as beautiful as my mother?”
The maid instinctively wanted to nod, but fortunately her desire to survive stopped her at the last second. She spoke instead: “The beauty who fell into the water and fell unconscious is a different kind of beauty. She cannot compare with Her Majesty the Queen, but she is by no means inferior. Another kind of beauty from Her Majesty the Queen!”
“…Really?” Gu Nian rarely became interested.
“Of course I will not deceive Your Highness.”
“Well, let’s go and have a look.”
After saying this, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was wearing soft inner armor, threw away the dogtail grass in her hand without any care for her princess image. Then she clapped her hands and stood up.
The captain of the elite escort team reacted immediately and quickly tried to stop her: “No, Your Highness, the man who fell into the water is still in a coma and his identity is unknown. Although he is wrapped in cloth, he cannot be sure to be harmless. You have a noble status and cannot let this -“
“What can that great beauty do when she is unconscious and unarmed, let alone when the princess is wearing armor?” the little maid whispered softly.
Although Gu Nian stopped the maid with her eyes, she calmly turned to the captain of the escort team: “I told you, don’t think of me as a princess when I’m leading the team out of the palace. I’m just your leader. If something like this happens, I’ll go check it out. It’s also part of my responsibility.”
After hesitating, the captain of the escort team bowed and said: “Then please wait, Your Highness, I will have someone carry him over right away.”
“Okay.”
Gu Nian waited eagerly, and soon the man who fell into the water was carried over on a stretcher. She stood up and took a closer look, then she understood what the “other kind of beauty” the maid was talking about was.
The unconscious man was dressed in white and had a slender figure. His long black hair, like crow feathers, reached down to his waist. His white skin gave off a sense of coldness, which reminded people of the winter snow in the North. His facial features were indeed extremely beautiful.
But the strange thing about this kind of beauty was that it did not blur gender lines at all.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was wearing soft armor, stared at him for a second, then looked back with a dull face, and said to the maid with crimson cheeks: “Another kind of beauty?”
“Yes.”
“You should just say that he’s a man.”
“Even if he’s a man, he’s still a beauty. I didn’t say anything wrong.” The maid whispered and couldn’t help but take another look.
“…Right.”
At the maid’s words, Gu Nian nodded in agreement and turned back to face the captain of the escort team: “After all, he is a living person. Let him be treated and warmed by the fire. In such cold weather, he will die if he keeps freezing for a while.”
The captain of the guard looked hesitant.
Gu Nian, who was about to leave, stopped and asked, “What’s the inconvenience?”
The captain of the guard bowed his head and answered honestly: “In order to prevent the sudden attack of wild beasts in the forest, the camp is densely packed, and there is not enough open space to accommodate and take care of this person.”
Gu Nian: “Then…”
Captain of the guard: “This person’s identity is unknown, and we have already left the border. Why not give him some clothes and send him to the outside and ignore him.”
Gu Nian frowned and looked at the cold forest outside the campfire amid the darkening night, “Sending him to the outskirts, wouldn’t that just be sending him directly into the wolf’s belly?”
The captain of the guard said nothing. Apparently that was his intention.
Gu Nian stood there and thought: “When you encounter an unknown person on the march, it is indeed a hidden danger to take him in hastily.”
The maid next to her looked anxious. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by the princess’s eyes.
Gu Nian changed the topic: “However, our trip is top secret, and the target of the conquest is the territory of the evil dragon, not a foreign country of the human race. Those ferocious beasts in the territory of the evil dragon should not be smart enough to trick humans into going undercover – since that is the case, it is better to take him in and accumulate blessings for this trip.”
“But….”
“And after this person wakes up, if he can move around, I will ask him to go to a safe place and leave on his own. Even if he can’t,” Gu Nian glanced at the maid beside her who was looking happy, “I still have to be responsible for monitoring the whole process to ensure that there is no harm.”
“Yes, I’ll listen to Your Highness.”
When the captain of the guard heard that the lazy but well-rounded princess in front of him had blocked his escape route, he had no choice but to nod and step back without interfering.
The princess’s temporary tent was in the middle of the surrounding camp, with the largest space and four bonfires.
The accompanying doctor came to treat the long-haired beauty who was unconscious on the stretcher. After tugging at his beard for a long time, he could only say that he must have a cold.
Gu Nian had no choice but to put the person next to the bonfire, and then she started chatting boringly with her maid while waiting for the sleeping beauty to wake up.
“Looking at it this way, it seems that this place and I are destined.”
