Chapter 216 Can I Leave Now?
At this moment, the tightly closed door was gently pushed open a crack, making a slight "creaking" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the guard Ning, who had once whipped Gou Chunmei mercilessly, carefully opened the door and walked into the room slowly.
"Miss, you're finally awake!" Guard Ning's voice was so soft that it made people feel extremely comfortable.
As she spoke softly, she walked quickly to the bedside and looked at Gou Chunmei, who had just woken up, with concern.
At the same time, Guard Ning's mouth corners lifted up slightly, outlining a friendly, kind and smiling smile.
When Guard Ning saw Gou Chunmei lying there safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself, "Fortunately, nothing happened. If the dead person was really Gou Chunmei, it would be difficult for me to face Yin Zhizi in the future."
Thinking of this, Guard Ning couldn't help but sigh softly.
Recalling the scene when he whipped Gou Chunmei, Guard Ning couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
To be honest, treating Gou Chunmei like that was really a helpless act.
At that time, Gou Chunmei was a spoiled little girl with a bad temper. Not only that, she always acted in an arrogant manner, which was really annoying.
Guard Ning knew very well that in this dangerous environment, if Gou Chunmei was not taught some survival skills and techniques as soon as possible, she would most likely lose her life early.
Therefore, although he knew that his behavior might cause Gou Chunmei's resentment, Guard Ning still hardened his heart and disciplined her severely.
As the saying goes, "Only those who endure hardship can become the best." Only if Gou Chunmei truly masters enough skills can she survive in this world full of hardships and challenges.
Gou Chunmei stood there quietly, facing Guard Ning's concerned and gentle questions, her beautiful but expressionless face was as cold as ice.
She opened her red lips slightly and asked in a tone that was so calm that it was almost indifferent, "Can I leave here now?"
Guard Ning obviously did not expect such a response and was slightly stunned.
But he quickly came to his senses and replied softly, "Miss, you haven't fully recovered yet. It's really not appropriate for you to leave here too soon."
After saying that, her eyes fell worriedly on Gou Chunmei's slightly pale face.
However, a barely perceptible hint of stubbornness flashed across Gou Chunmei's eyes.
She bit her lip tightly and said coldly: "I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here for a moment."
Before she finished speaking, a chill emanated from her, as if the air around her had condensed.
Seeing this, Guard Ning sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "Miss, I know that for various reasons, I have been a little too harsh on you before. But please believe me, all of this is out of my concern and love for you. I hope you are well."
At this point, Guard Ning's eyes revealed a hint of guilt.
After hearing this, Gou Chunmei was silent for a long time.
The piercing pain of being whipped before involuntarily emerged in my mind.
Although Guard Ning had pleaded with the leader for him afterwards, the scars were still vivid in his mind when he thought about it now.
When she thought of this, hatred welled up in her heart, so much so that the look she gave the woman in front of her was filled with hatred and anger, and she almost wanted to eat her alive.
Who is she? She is a daughter of heaven, like a phoenix in the sky, destined to become a princess of the Miao Kingdom in the future!
With such a precious identity, how could a group of lowly servants like them beat someone up!
"I don't care, I want to go home!" Gou Chunmei's voice was as loud as a cuckoo crying blood, but she still persisted.
Guard Ning looked troubled. "Miss, the journey is quite long. Your body can't handle the strain right now. Could you please rest for a few days?"
Gou Chunmei completely ignored her dissuasion and struggled to get up from the bed with all her strength.
Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she could not bear this place for another moment.
She was extremely anxious and just wanted to run back to her mother immediately.
This desire was like a burning flame, igniting in her heart, driving her to get out of bed regardless of everything.
Seeing this, Guard Ning hurried forward to try to stop them. She looked troubled and said, "Miss... please think twice!"
However, Gou Chunmei was already furious at this time. She turned her head suddenly and stared at Guard Ning with wide eyes.
She shouted, "What? Do you want to whip me again?"
Her voice trembled with anger, a rage she couldn't contain.
Then, she raised her chin and said proudly, "I have eliminated all your substitutes. Now I am the only one left here. If you want me to complete the task, then from now on you must obey me in everything! Otherwise, forget it!"
Hearing this, Guard Ning was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.
Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees, lowered her head, and explained sincerely, "Miss, you truly misunderstood me. If I hadn't taught you so strictly back then, how would you have learned how to handle all sorts of dangerous situations?"
"Only when you have mastered sufficient self-defense skills can you ensure your own safety when traveling in the future." Guard Ning raised his head and looked at Gou Chunmei sincerely.
Although Gou Chunmei knew that what Guard Ning said made sense, the long-suppressed resentment in her heart was still difficult to calm down.
So, she gritted her teeth and said firmly, "No matter what, I must return to the capital! No room for negotiation!"
Seeing this, Guard Ning knew he couldn't stop them by force, so he nodded helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then fine. I'll go and ask the leader to make the final decision on this matter."
After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked hurriedly towards the leader's tent.
The leader frowned upon hearing this. "Is this girl so willful? Well, her body hasn't recovered yet, and if she insists on doing this, she's the one who'll suffer!"
Gou Chunmei's status was special, so it was difficult to stop her by force. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Queen has sent a message that the Crown Prince of Miao has begun looking for her! Guard Ning, you take the people to escort her back. From now on, you will stay by her side to ensure her safety and supervise her."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Guard Ning responded respectfully, then turned and walked out of the room.
Not long after, she hurried back and brought the news that Gou Chunmei had been waiting for for a long time, that they could set off back to Beijing.
After hearing the news, a hint of pride immediately appeared on Gou Chunmei's face.
