Bai Mowan, you must be delighted.
As Bai Mowan is happy, Xiao Jinxing is naturally happy as well.
Let them indulge in their joy alone, and not come and disturb her.
"The burial is tomorrow, and soon I’ll be leaving again," Xiao Jinxing said.
He did not further explain why he had left her behind; perhaps the explanation was that her body could heal itself.
But he didn’t explain why he didn’t come back to save her immediately after leaving her behind.
However, she guessed it.
The death of the Crown Prince was a major event for the royal court; naturally, everyone had to prioritize the Crown Prince, and it was only right for Xiao Jinxing to leave her behind.
It’s rather surprising that Xiao Jinxing came back at all.
Of course, she was not grateful.
Sometimes, what is acceptable logically may not necessarily be acceptable emotionally.
Regarding Xiao Jinxing.
She is still, somewhat disappointed.
Because of the disappointment, she really, did not want to see him.
She still needs to think carefully about how to treat Xiao Jinxing moving forward.
Whether to wholeheartedly help him achieve great things.
Or, to also start keeping backup plans for herself, and not put everything solely on Xiao Jinxing anymore.
This is what she pondered about.
Suddenly, she felt a large hand placed on her forehead.
She looked at Xiao Jinxing somewhat annoyed.
Xiao Jinxing seemed only to be checking if she was still feverish.
He felt her forehead for quite a while.
He said, "You don’t seem to have a fever anymore."
Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
She knew her own body well and didn’t need him to tell her.
The fever she had been having was due to the rapid self-healing of her body causing a disorder in her bodily functions; now that her condition had stabilized and her body had adapted to a state of recovery achieving a physical balance, naturally, the fever was gone.
"Which means the Prince can leave now," Ye Qichi said bluntly.
Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi this way.
He came to see her tonight prepared to say a lot.
But it seemed he could not say anything at all.
Now, clearly being rejected by her...
"Just now you must have heard what Gu Xingchuan said, these past few days I’ve not been sleeping well because of the fever. With the Prince here, it really affects my sleep. And you must understand, though my body is unusual, proper recovery still requires ample rest. Without enough rest, the recovery time will only increase indefinitely," Ye Qichi said, making excuses.
She just wanted him to leave sooner.
She didn’t want to see him for even a second more.
Xiao Jinxing nodded, "Then you should rest well."
Surprisingly obedient, he agreed.
Indeed, Ye Qichi was somewhat taken aback by this favor.
She didn’t say more and just closed her eyes, pretending Xiao Jinxing didn’t exist and attempted to fall back asleep.
Actually, she was really tired at that moment.
If it weren’t for worrying about what Xiao Jinxing might do to Gu Xingchuan, if it weren’t for Xiao Jinxing’s sudden visit to talk to her, she would have already entered a sweet slumber.
Now attempting to sleep again, she quickly drifted off.
Even though Xiao Jinxing had agreed, he didn’t leave immediately.
But at least, he did not continue talking to bother her.
Anyways, Xiao Jinxing also needed to attend the burial; he couldn’t stay for long, so Ye Qichi slept somewhat peacefully.
She did not know how long she had been asleep.
Ye Qichi didn’t even know if she really had been asleep.
It seemed she heard Xiao Jinxing say, "I’m sorry."
When Ye Qichi opened her eyes, it was already bright daylight.
So what time is it now?!
After sleeping to her satisfaction, she suddenly felt fully revitalized.
She moved her body a bit.
"Princess, you’re awake," Lu You beside her quickly called out to her.
Ye Qichi turned her gaze to Lu You, who was also dozing off on her bed and seemed to have just woken up as well.
Lu You was still rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"You slept till now too?" Ye Qichi asked her.
"This servant also fell asleep by accident from taking care of the Princess, being too tired," Lu You quietly countered.
"I’m not blaming you for anything," Ye Qichi said nonchalantly.
She was just a bit surprised.
It was truly as Lu You had said.
In the past few days, they indeed had been overworked.
Not wanting the Imperial Physician to discover the anomaly in her condition, it had been Gu Xingchuan and Lu You who tirelessly took care of her.
