"Are you awake?"
Just when Su Mengyan thought she might starve to death, she suddenly heard a voice, followed by a bowl of porridge placed in front of her: "Hurry up and eat something. The doctor said you might wake up today, so I prepared a lot of food and reheated it several times. Fortunately, you woke up."
Su Mengyan was so hungry that her brain wasn't working properly. She didn't care who it was. She just drank the hot porridge that was brought to her mouth without caring about anything else.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she looked up at the person in front of her and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Su Mengyan looked at the kind expression of the little girl in front of her. After finally recovering her mind, she finally remembered to ask questions. She asked anxiously, "Where is His Highness? Am I not dead? Where is this?"
Who is the person in front of me?
Chun He pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she was much cuter than she had imagined. She was also very straightforward and had no airs of a master at all. "Your Highness has left, but my sister is not dead. This is the Cui family's villa."
I thought that since Su Mengyan was so favored, she would be very willful.
Now that I think about it, there is indeed a reason why I am favored.
Before Su Mengyan could ask any more questions, she heard footsteps coming hurriedly outside.
With a fragrant breeze.
Cui Mixue hurried in and rushed to the bedside. When she saw Su Mengyan, her heart and eyes were filled with worry. She said softly, "Yanyan, I heard you woke up, so I came to see you right away. Are you still in pain? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Fortunately, Su Mengyan woke up.
Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The moment she saw the person in front of her, Su Mengyan felt a chill down her spine. Her body tensed up, her voice trembled, and she laughed dryly, "Ms. Cui?"
Cui Mixue wanted to kill her before, so how did she fall into Cui Mixue's hands?
It’s over, it’s over this time.
Cui Mixue's expression wasn't ferocious at all; she simply smiled and said, "I've always felt sorry for not being able to meet you at the palace banquet last time. I never thought you'd be like this when I saw you again."
When I heard at the last palace banquet that Su Mengyan had been locked up, I thought she had fallen out of favor, but I didn't expect that she would be with Situ Yao again.
That's strange.
Su Mengyan felt very embarrassed when she mentioned the last palace banquet. Every time she saw Cui Mixue, she felt a chill on her back, fearing that she would be assassinated again. She stammered, "Last palace banquet...something happened..."
It’s hard to say what’s going on in the palace, and Cui Mixue understands that.
So she didn't ask any further questions.
Cui Mixue just smiled and patted Su Mengyan's hand, slowly soothing her: "You should take good care of your injuries first, and don't worry about returning to His Highness. This is the Cui family, you can treat it as your own home, don't be restrained."
She's the only one here anyway.
Su Mengyan nodded, a look of gratitude on her face: "Okay."
After asking a few more questions, Cui Mixue finally left feeling satisfied. Of course, she also asked about Situ Yao, but Su Mengyan really couldn't say anything, so she could only perfunctorily blow a few rainbow farts and praise the good relationship between the two.
After Cui Mixue left, Chunhe came over with a cup of water and asked tentatively, "Sister, don't you like Miss Cui?"
Su Mengyan's heart suddenly sank.
She didn't know where Chun He came from, or whether she was Cui Mixue or Situ Yao's spy, so she couldn't respond casually. She just said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chunhe is young and doesn't realize it yet.
"I don't like her very much. Miss Cui's eyes are a bit scary. When she mentions His Highness, it's as if she wants to eat someone." She curled her lips, her expression natural and open, without any disguise.
She said it naturally, but it frightened Su Mengyan so much that she quickly covered Chunhe's mouth: "Don't speak ill of the master casually."
Who knows if anyone will complain to the male protagonist.
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing Chun He's attitude towards her, Su Mengyan felt a little helpless. After forcing herself to sit up straight, she smiled at Chun He and said, "Don't be so panicked. I'm just a servant."
In name she was a selected concubine, but in reality she was just a maid.
But Chun He didn't believe it. She just served tea to Su Mengyan with a smile, and said in a teasing tone: "My lady, please stop joking. How could His Highness be so concerned about a slave girl?"
"That's because..." She said she could dream about the late queen? Otherwise, Situ Yao wouldn't care about her life or death. Thinking of this, Su Mengyan felt a little choked up. After a long while, she sighed and waved her hand, asking, "Forget it, forget it. Your Highness, did you tell me what to do after I wake up?"
Anyway, we can't let her run away.
"No." Chun He shook her head and said innocently, "Just said to send a letter to the post station and let the young master recover here."
Recuperating at Cui's house?
Su Mengyan felt a chill down her spine.
Cui Mixue is a very bad woman. If she recuperates in the Cui family, she might die before she recovers.
"Where did His Highness go?" Su Mengyan grasped at her last lifeline and asked anxiously, "Do you know?"
"I don't know." Chun He looked bewildered and asked doubtfully, "My dear, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find His Highness!" Su Mengyan looked anxious. After realizing that her reaction was a bit excessive, she touched the tip of her nose awkwardly and tried to find a way out. "His Highness is still injured and needs to be taken care of. If His Highness hasn't returned to the capital, I will definitely go find Him."
If she returned to the capital, she might be lost in Cui Mixue's hands.
Chun He was a little embarrassed, "But... I don't know where His Highness is."
"This..." Seeing Chunhe's expression, Su Mengyan could only sigh and resign herself to her fate, saying, "Forget it."
The wound on her back still hurt, and even if she ran, she couldn't get far. She might as well just accept her fate. If Cui Mixue really wanted to kill her, running to Situ Yao would probably be useless.
In the original novel, Cui Mixue wanted to kill someone, but it was Situ Yao who handed her the knife.
Just when Su Mengyan gave up struggling, a voice suddenly came from outside, asking, "Miss Su, are you awake?"
Before Su Mengyan could speak, Chunhe responded first: "Wake up, wake up, the young lady is awake."
The guard's voice was steady and calm, and he spoke slowly and leisurely, "Then Miss Su, pack your things and get ready to leave."
Su Mengyan was stunned and didn't react. She asked, "Where are you going?"
She had just woken up, was Cui Mixue going to attack her? If that was the case, it would be better not to save her.
Besides, Chunhe is still right next to them. Even if Cui Mixue wants to take action, she can't kill Chunhe as well, right?
In the original novel, although Cui Mixue is cruel and ruthless, she is definitely not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
