It was obviously freshly cooked and brought in.
Xiao Heye squatted down and carefully washed her feet, then dried them with a cotton towel. The two of them did not exchange a word during the process.
As soon as he turned around and took out the small jar of ointment from the cabinet, Su Tiyue unconsciously pulled her foot back and said in a pleading tone, "Don't rub the palm print anymore."
Xiao Heye smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, replying softly, "Mm."
"It's better to have no pain at all than a long one," he added with extreme affection.
This sentence was said by Su Tiyue.
He always remembered.
Xiao Heye dabbed some ointment with his fingertip and gently applied it to her ankle. The pressure was so gentle that, apart from a slightly cool sensation, she didn't feel any pain.
"Master, from Tongguang Hall to here, you didn't ask anything... Do you know everything?"
Su Tiyue hugged her calves with both hands, rested her chin on her knees, and quietly watched him apply the medicine to her.
"Yes, I guessed it."
Xiao Heye did not look up at her; his dark eyes never left her injured ankle.

Su Tiyue pouted, a thin layer of mist rising in her eyes, and whispered, "He kidnapped my second brother, showed me a severed finger, and forced me to dance for the Emperor."

Su Tiyue nodded vigorously, blinked, and tears involuntarily fell. "Master Xiao, please help me save my second brother. He's your brother, he'll definitely listen to you..."
"good."
Xiao Heye readily agreed.
After applying the medicine for her, he got up and went to the washroom to wash his hands. He then took a white cloth and carefully wiped the water off his hands.
"And why didn't you save me in Tongguang Hall just now?" She stared intently at him, her eyes full of inquiry.
I wanted to find some clues beneath that cool and composed exterior.
Xiao Heye walked up to her and said casually, "Anyway, someone will come to your rescue, won't they, Your Highness?"
"What would happen to the Chief Minister if the Crown Prince hadn't done that?"
"Then this servant will congratulate Your Highness... Perhaps tomorrow you will be the esteemed Imperial Concubine." He raised an eyebrow and said in a sly manner.
Su Tiyue raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "I don't want to be any imperial concubine."
"So you mean you want to be the Empress?"
Before she could speak, Xiao Heye immediately said, "What's so difficult about that? This servant will make you Empress from now on."
