It wasn't until dawn that someone helped Ning Yao back.
Ning Yao looked quite miserable, as if he'd been beaten, with a bruised and swollen face, and his clothes were scratched by branches, in complete disarray.
Miserable as he may be, there's no danger to his life.
Ning Yao was sent back to the palace amidst chaos, accompanied by the Imperial Physician for treatment.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is fine; it's just superficial wounds and a bit of fright."
The Seventh Princess coldly said: "How did the Third Imperial Sister end up like this?"
"Your Highness, when we found the Third Imperial Sister, she was on a slope... Could the Third Imperial Sister have fallen by herself?"
Someone cautiously replied.
The slope was steep; if no one had noticed the traces above and gone down to check, it might have gone undiscovered even now.
