"We're almost at the city gate, Your Highness. Can you still hold on?"
Yun Zhi glanced at Mingshu's pale face, her expression filled with concern.
The wound on her back had not completely healed, and due to excessive movement, it was now throbbing with pain, impossible to ignore. Mingshu bit her lip and shook her head, "No matter, I can hold on!"
Yao Yue supported her, examining her expression closely, and frowned, "Your Highness, let me carry you."
Mingshu knitted her brows, disapprovingly, "What kind of pampering is that?"
Without waiting for Yao Yue to say anything, she looked ahead, her tone leaving no room for doubt, "Enough, no more nonsense. I know my own body best—is it not clear if I can walk? Let's go, don't waste time!"
She marched forward with a solemn face.
Yao Yue bit her lip, her eyes darkened as she quickly caught up.
By the time they finally saw the city gate, everyone was exhausted, panting heavily, their legs heavy as if filled with lead.
