Su Yan was just talking to Xiao Hua.
Although the voice was very low, the place was so quiet that it was terrifying, enough to let the voice reach the ears of the comatose person.
Almost right after her voice fell, suddenly the person on the bed’s dark eyelashes trembled lightly, and the next second, his eyes opened.
Dark and profound eyes, emitting a captivating sheen.
Their eyes met, Su Yan blinked, and after a few beats, she realized what had happened, stepped back, and according to the etiquette she remembered
"Your Highness, you’re awake."
The person lying on the bed did not speak for a long time, just watching her.
After a long time, a hoarse voice sounded
"Come here"
Su Yan raised her head, stood up, and walked over.
Xuanyuan Yonghao saw her standing there obediently, and he slightly lowered his eyebrows.
Sitting up, leaning against the headboard.
His face wore an abnormal pallor.
Following that, a bowl of pitch-black medicinal soup, steaming hot, appeared before his eyes.
His eyelid moved, lifting up.
Staring face to face with that pale, innocent face.
Su Yan softly spoke
"Your Highness, it’s time for your medicine."
A strong hand suddenly grasped her wrist, pulling with force.
Her whole body leaned forward, and she suddenly knelt down on the bed.
One hand still holding the medicine, some of it spilled out due to her unsteadiness, staining the bedding.
The person on the bed, who seemed severely wounded just a second ago, now, as his dark eyes intensely fixed on you, for some reason, made one’s scalp tingle.
His tone was cool and gentle
"How did you come in?"
At first listen, there was not a trace of aggressiveness, just like his demeanor.
Most of Su Yan’s attention was on the medicinal soup, trying not to let more spill.
Even so, she still softly responded
"The nanny assigned this servant to come here to the front courtyard to serve Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Yonghao looked at her, and after a long while, suddenly released her hand.
His tone still gentle
"What’s your name?"
As he spoke, he lowered his eyebrows, appearing indifferent.
Su Yan took a step back but still knelt on the bed.
She spoke out
"Su Yan"
After asking this, Xuanyuan Yonghao did not ask further; instead, he reached out and took the bowl of medicine from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine was very bitter; even smelling it from the side, one could sense the bitterness.
Su Yan licked her lips.
Then, she bent down and opened her wallet.
She took out a piece of candy completely wrapped in wax paper, then extended her hand to peel off the wrap.
Xuanyuan Yonghao had not reacted yet when the candy was already being offered to his lips.
Su Yan watched him stare straight at her, not opening his mouth to eat it.
She explained
"This is candy, it helps to mask the bitterness."
As her words fell, a glint of light flashed in Xuanyuan Yonghao’s eyes.
After a long silence, he opened his mouth and ate the candy offered to his lips.
Thereafter, Su Yan silently took the bowl and withdrew.
When the sound of footsteps at the door disappeared, Xuanyuan Yonghao lowered his eyelids, his somewhat pale lips slightly parted
"Investigate"
The voice was echoing thinly and coolly.
As his words fell, a respectful response was heard from outside the door
"Yes"
Followed by a swift exit.
His gaze swept over the sugar wrapper left by the bedside, picked it up in his hand, and fiddled with and toyed with it at his fingertips.
His mouth still filled with the scent of strawberry milk, truly offset most of the bitterness of the previous medicine.
He had never seen such a bold maid before.
Using this thing to fool him, did she treat him like a three-year-old child?
