Chunhua has an oval face and looks quite fetching when she smiles.
"Su Yan, now that you’ve been transferred to the front courtyard, we should treat each other like sisters and look out for one another."
Being a newcomer, Chunhua’s words were considerate.
However, Qiu Shi wasn’t as gentle by comparison.
Qiu Shi might not be as dignified as Chunhua, but she was pretty with a hint of seductiveness in her brows and eyes.
She sized up Su Yan, snorting lightly,
"The nanny is getting old, probably her vision too. Bringing just anyone into the front courtyard, doesn’t she worry about offending others?"
Her voice was somewhat delicate, carrying a hint of spite.
Chunhua frowned briefly, then reached out to tug at Qiu Shi’s sleeve, reminding her,
"Qiu Shi, stop that, we’ll have to work together to serve His Highness in the future."
Perhaps out of respect for Chunhua, Qiu Shi gave Su Yan a disdainful glance,
"Hmph."
With that, Qiu Shi left, swaying her hips.
Su Yan’s eyelids fluttered as she watched in the direction Qiu Shi left, remaining silent.
Chunhua tried to comfort Su Yan,
"Don’t feel wronged, Qiu Shi is just that kind of person, just bear with her."
After speaking, she continued,
"Come, let me take you to the kitchen; the herbal medicine that needs to be prepared for the Third Prince should be ready."
Su Yan nodded and followed behind Chunhua, moving carefully.
Soon, a bowl of bitter black herbal medicine was carried out of the kitchen by Su Yan.
Chunhua followed beside Su Yan, starting to explain some of the rules of the front courtyard to her.
As they were walking along the corridor, suddenly Qiu Shi appeared from somewhere.
Without a glance at Su Yan, she grabbed Chunhua’s arm directly,
"Come on, come on, I’ve got an urgent matter and I need your help."
Chunhua frowned,
"Where are you taking me to?"
"Ah, the nanny’s looking for us."
Qiu Shi invoked the nanny’s name, and without any doubt, Chunhua, seeing Qiu Shi so anxious and fearing delay, quickly instructed Su Yan,
"The Third Prince is unconscious; you must personally ensure he drinks this medicine, remember."
No sooner had she spoken than Chunhua was pulled away by Qiu Shi.
Su Yan stood in the corridor, watching the two of them leave, then continued along the path.
Arriving at the entrance of the sleeping chamber, Su Yan hadn’t even reacted when Xiao Hua suddenly became agitated,
"Oh my, it’s so nerve-wracking, so nerve-wracking! About to meet the male lead, Host, you must seize the opportunity! Go for it!"
Pushing the door, Su Yan entered.
The furnishings in the sleeping chamber were simple.
Red sandalwood furniture exquisitely carved, a few antique decorations, the green bed canopy hiding the person on the bed.
Su Yan approached, placing the medicine beside the bed.
She reached out to lift the bed canopy.
The person on the bed, fallen into unconsciousness, came into her view.
His face was smooth and fair, with clearly defined black lashes, a prominent nose, and exquisitely shaped lips; at a glance, he had a refined appearance.
It inspired four words in one’s mind: youth as flawless as jade.
Su Yan looked at the person lying on the bed, her eyes filled with doubt.
She did not promptly pick up the medicine to feed him.
Just staring at him.
Xiao Hua spoke with a smile,
"Host, have you been enchanted by him?"
Su Yan whispered in response,
"When I saved him, he was conscious."
So she was a bit confused.
After all, by all accounts, he had not choked on water and struggled.
He even had the strength to climb onto that piece of wood, seemingly effortlessly, ascending to the sky, just suffering from a cold.
Why would he be unconscious until now and still not awaken?
Xiao Hua was also surprised,
"Huh? Oh, Host, you’re so clever."
The Host had added a little to her brain capacity, and it felt... much more than just a little smarter.
