The morning sun shone on her face, and she was awakened by Xu's shocked cry.

"Gran, why are you here? Where is the prince?"

Xu said to her in disbelief. She clearly remembered that it was the prince who brought her back from the rainstorm and held her in bed. She still remembered the warmth of the prince's arms, which made her linger for a long time and could not be erased from her memory.

"The prince was too tired from taking care of you, so I asked him to go and rest. What's the matter? Did I not take good enough care of you?"

Gran didn't react for a moment, she just explained to Xu and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She took care of Xu until late at night last night, but she got up and yelled at her.

She looked at Xu with contempt, only to see that Xu's complexion had long since returned to normal and she no longer had a fever. Xu threw back the quilt and ran off the bed barefoot, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

"What are you doing?"

Gran said to Xu.

The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!

He asked Gran who was standing beside him.

In the end, Xu couldn't stand it anymore, so she found an excuse and ran away.

"We still have to go together. Sister Xu just caught a cold. If she passes it on to me and the prince, that would be bad. Besides, Sister has just recovered from the cold and needs to eat light food."

"I see. Where's my maid?"

Gran explained to her, and then used a piece of wood beside him to prop up the window, leaving a small gap.

"When we return to Prince Duan's Mansion, even if your cold continues to get worse, I won't stop you even a step."

Without waiting for Nangong Jinggong to answer, Xu sat up from the bed and prepared to wash up.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

After a while, Nangong Jing walked in.

"But my Lord...you."

"Everything is fine, but I am sorry that you delayed His Majesty's rest. You have to use up so much energy to take care of me."

"Get some water outside the door."

"Since you haven't eaten yet, why don't you come to the other room and have breakfast with me? It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet either."

He pulled Xu back to the bed and wrapped her tightly in the quilt.

Think about the consequences, how ridiculous is it? The maid was also a person of her own opinion. She knew that if Xu went with the two of them, there would be no good results. She might really infect the two of them with the cold.

Gran grabbed Xu's forearm.

Gran stopped Xu and winked at the maid, asking her to take Xu to the bed. She had finally been invited by Nangong Jinggong, so how could she let Xu ruin their time together?

He walked straight to Xu's bed, sat beside her and asked, but there was no trace of concern in his words.

"My Lady, if you go over now, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will find something to hold against you. If she wants to put a pot of dirt on you, you won't be able to do anything about it!"

“Your Majesty…”

"What are you doing? Don't you know I'll catch a cold? I've just recovered from my cold, and you want to make me sick again?"

"You worked hard last night. You are the one who was tired. I rested well. You can go and rest when you have time. Xu has maids to take care of her."

She knew that she was a patient and she also knew that Gran had taken care of her all night. If she argued with Gran, she would definitely be in the wrong.

"Then I'll go out and look for her."

Nangong Jing said to him, only to see that Xu, who was still drinking porridge, became anxious.

She looked at Xu with disdain. Xu's originally angry expression was suppressed by the words "she took care of her all night".

"Opening windows for ventilation is to keep the air flowing. Besides, you haven't completely recovered from your cold. If it is passed on to me and your maid, and then passed on to the prince, that would be bad."

"That's not the case. It was Gran who took care of you in the second half of the night. You should thank her. After all, she took care of you more than I did."

Gran responded, bringing the topic back to him and asking with concern.

"Okay, you know what's best for you."

Xu couldn't persuade the two of them, so she could only act coquettishly in front of Nangong Jing, hoping that Nangong Jing would take her to have breakfast together.

"You finally recovered from your cold. This is the Imperial Palace, not Prince Duan's residence. It's not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Xu stopped drinking porridge and spoke to Gran in an aggressive manner.

"Madam, here is the porridge I made for you."

She asked Gran not wanting to argue with him any further.

She sighed again, saying that Xu had been infatuated with Nangong Jing, and she was determined to sit on the throne.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Xu pretended to be delicate and grateful.

"Your Highness, I haven't eaten either. I wonder if I can share breakfast with you and Gran."

"You'd better not catch a cold now, or you'll blame me for not taking good care of you if you catch a cold. I don't want to continue taking care of you."

The prince spoke the truth and did not take any credit for himself. He looked at Gran, who was sitting next to him.

"Yes, otherwise you shouldn't go."

The maid was about to call out to Xu, but was given a cold look by Xu.

Xu knew that she was in the wrong and stopped arguing with Gran. She just pretended to be compassionate and didn't bother with her anymore.

She continued to teach Xu, and Xu's restless heart finally calmed down.

She scolded Xu Shihe with a stern look on her face.

Gran sat aside and watched, opening the window a little.

The maid beside Xu suddenly opened the door, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in her hand. She walked to Xu, scooped the porridge to cool it down, and then put it into Xu's mouth.

"Not yet. I wonder if the prince had a good rest last night?"

She is indeed a woman with a lot of trouble. She was thinking about meeting the prince right after she recovered from her illness.

"You just got rid of your fever, how can you run around barefoot?"

"I think what they both said makes sense. Xu, you should not go with us now. After you recover from your cold, the three of us will go have breakfast together."

She didn't even expect that Nangong Jing would agree with what they said. Xu was dissatisfied and had to sit on the bed.

She looked at the backs of Ge Lan and Nangong Jing and pounded the bed angrily. A maid came over with a bowl of porridge that had not been finished yet.

"Master, you still need to give this porridge..."

"Get lost!"
