Chapter 26: What sort of energy do you guys have?
Hua Jing looked at Xia Lin in surprise as the latter hurried into the room.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Hua Jing asked, narrowing her eyes.
Xia Lin stopped mid-step, her expression shifting to one of concern.
"The prince sent me," Xia Lin said quickly. "He said you weren't feeling well, and I should check on you."
Hua Jing blinked, caught off guard by the prince's unexpected thoughtfulness.
"Feeling unwell?" she repeated, tilting her head.
"Yes!" Xia Lin exclaimed as she hurried to Hua Jing's side, her eyes scanning her from head to toe. "Where are you hurt? I heard you were hurt so badly!"
Hua Jing's brows furrowed in confusion.
"So badly?" she echoed. "Where did you hear that from?"
Xia Lin hesitated for a moment, her face flushing slightly.
"Well..." she began, fidgeting with her hands, "I heard it from the palace maids."
