Hearing footsteps approaching, she lifted her head, lips red and teeth white.
Dark eyes gazing at her, and a somewhat pale and sickly figure, at first glance, filled one with a desire to protect, unable to resist the urge to care.
Su Yan held the medicine and stopped when she was still a distance away from the bed, bowed, and said
"Your Highness, it is time for your medicine."
Xuanyuan Yonghao looked at her, and after a moment, his voice was gentle
"Come here"
Su Yan moved her feet and took two steps forward.
Xuanyuan Yonghao looked at her, his eyes dark, his lips curved, and he repeated
"Come here."
After pausing for a moment, Su Yan still walked to the bedside.
Then she bent down, her posture respectful and humble.
"It’s time for the medicine."
Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Yonghao’s attention was not on the medicine, but all on her.
This Maid, looking neither servile nor haughty, the posture she held was sufficiently humble and respectful, down to the last detail.
But some things just radiate a sense of discord from the bone.
Just like this Maid, those eyes held no hint of humility.
Her words and deeds lacked the flattery and accommodation exhibited by other maids.
Her voice was soft, but the tone seemed just to fulfill a task.
And to think that day, she actually took out a sugar cube and brought it to his lips.
Ignoring proprieties of rank and the naturalness of the gesture.
He not only did not have her hands chopped off but also ate that sugar cube.
He lowered his eyelids, concealing the sharpness in his eyes.
As if he had found something amusing.
Never had he seen such a Maid; no, it wasn’t boring at all.
A trace of illness appeared on his face as he coughed
"That day by the pond, it was you who saved this palace but did not claim any merit, why?"
His voice carried a bit of weakness, as if still recovering from a severe illness.
Su Yan lifted her head, her voice soft but serious
"Saving Your Highness is my duty."
"Oh?"
He listened to Su Yan’s serious and solemn voice, tinged with a bit of curiosity.
After a long while,
He coughed a few times,
and while coughing, he laughed
"This palace lacks people as loyal and devoted as you. From now on, you will serve by my side; I can trust you with my diet and daily life."
Su Yan blinked, stunned.
In just a few sentences, she had come to deliver medicine, but how had she become someone who would serve closely in the future?
Xuanyuan Yonghao lowered his eyelids,
"You are unwilling?"
Su Yan shook her head,
"I am willing."
Having said that, Su Yan handed over the medicine,
"This medicine, Prince, please drink it while it’s hot."
After he drank the medicine, Su Yan held the medicine bowl and retired, stepping out of the grand doors of the sleeping chamber, Qiu Shi was still kneeling at the doorway.
Su Yan licked the corner of her lips, carrying the empty medicine bowl and leaving.
Once she left the sleeping chamber, the Xiao Hua in her earring couldn’t hold back
"Wow wow wow wow, Host you are amazing!"
To serve closely so quickly?
Given time, it would be easy for him to let down his guard and complete the task.
After expressing her thoughts, Xiao Hua couldn’t help but say
"Third Prince is not so bad, he’s actually nice.
And his body is so weak, he’s been bullied so miserably, there must be some misunderstanding.
Don’t you think, Host?"
Su Yan didn’t speak.
Xiao Hua couldn’t help but speak again
"Host?"
"Hmm?"
"What do you think about Third Prince?"
"Uh... I don’t know."
Su Yan walked along the corridor, and she did not provide an answer for a long time.
She was planning to tidy up the medicine bowl and return to her room.
Who knew that just as she arrived at her own door, someone was already waiting there.
