Jiang Luoluo gently stirred the medicine bowl. After the medicine cooled down a bit, she scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Xie Yizhi's lips, saying softly, "Your Highness, drink your medicine. You'll feel better after you sweat it out."
Xie Yizhi listened to her gentle voice, but he had other plans in mind.
He's acted in quite a few period dramas, and in these kinds of situations, the female lead would tenderly hold the medicine in her mouth and personally feed it to the sickly male lead.
He wanted to try this kind of affectionate way of giving medicine.
Since he's a patient now, Jiang Luoluo can't just stand by and watch him die.
Thinking of this, Xie Yizhi deliberately closed his lips tightly, and even frowned more deeply, pretending to be in unbearable pain.
He silently counted in his mind, one, two, three...
In a little while, he should be able to taste that soft and sweet "medicine"?
Just as he was filled with anticipation, he suddenly felt a chill.
Jiang Luoluo took a thin piece of wood and pried open his mouth without any politeness.
The bitter medicine slowly flowed into his mouth along the wooden piece, so bitter that he almost opened his eyes.
Xie Yizhi was so angry that he almost spat out his medicine.
Jiang Luoluo! You big jerk!
She didn't follow the usual methods at all. What gentle feeding of medicine? What mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? Instead, she just used a piece of wood to get by!
Xie Yizhi roared inwardly, wishing he could jump up and question her immediately.
However, he could only swallow his resentment and swallow the whole bowl of bitter medicine.
After he finished drinking the medicine, he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a little blurry, but he could clearly see that slender figure busy at work.
Jiang Luoluo held a warm handkerchief in her hand and carefully wiped his forehead.
Her cheeks were red from the cold wind, and a hint of worry lingered in her eyes.
Did she come on horseback? She seemed to be in such a hurry; does that mean she... really cares about me?
As Xie Yizhi was lost in thought, she suddenly leaned closer, her eyes crinkling, and her voice sweet: "Your Highness, you're awake."
Xie Yizhi's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. Wasn't he just peeking? How did he get caught!
For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do, and could only blink weakly, his voice low and gentle: "Luo Luo, you're here."
Jiang Luoluo put the warm handkerchief back into the basin, returned to the bedside, gently took his hand, and whispered comforting words: "Your Highness has been working too hard these past few days and has caught a cold. You should rest well. I will stay here with you."
Looking at her obedient and gentle appearance, Xie Yizhi couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Whether she was sincere or not, at least for this moment, she was sitting quietly beside him.
If I stay sick forever, will she stay with me forever?
Just as Xie Yizhi was deep in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
"You dog of a servant! Let this princess in at once! What this princess is holding is a thousand-year-old ginseng!" Lu Anrou's voice was arrogant and domineering.
With a hint of arrogance, she said, "The Prince is currently ill. If you dare to obstruct him and delay his treatment, can you bear the consequences?!"
Mo Feng and Ding Dang exchanged a glance and immediately reached out to block her path.
Lu Anrou was blocked and became furious. With a fierce look in her eyes, she raised her hand to slap Dingdang hard.
The palm strike was fierce, and just as the slap was about to land, Mo Feng reacted quickly, pulling Ding Dang behind him and saying coldly, "Princess, please have some self-respect."
Inside the room, Jiang Luoluo frowned slightly upon hearing the arrogant voice. Before she could even get up, she saw Xie Yizhi's expression suddenly turn cold.
Her heart stirred slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "I went to reply to her."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yizhi's expression softened slightly, and the coldness in his eyes also faded somewhat.
Jiang Luoluo adjusted her cloak and quickly walked outside the hall.
"Stop!" Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying an undeniable authority.
Startled by this imposing aura, Lu Anrou subconsciously withdrew her hand and looked at Jiang Luoluo with a grim expression.
Jiang Luoluo walked slowly closer, her gaze slightly cold, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "Lu Anrou, don't think that just because I agreed to let you enter the manor as a concubine, you can do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Lu Anrou was taken aback at first, then gave a sarcastic smile: "Princess Yi, you're being a bit too absolute with your words."
"It was His Highness Prince Yi who decided to bring me into the palace as a concubine; he was the one who made the final decision. Don't use your title as the princess to bully others."
Jiang Luoluo sneered, her bright and assertive eyes saying, "Lu Anrou, you're wrong. If I don't agree, His Highness Prince Yi won't allow you to enter the manor."
Lu Anrou was so angry that her face turned pale, and she almost gritted her teeth to pieces. She said angrily, "Jiang Luoluo, don't be too smug!"
One day, His Highness Prince Yi will tire of you, this fickle woman. Then, he will naturally see how good I am!
Jiang Luoluo looked at her with a half-smile, her tone leisurely: "What a pity... His Highness Prince Yi is quite fond of my appearance."
She tilted her head slightly, her expression full of regret, "You, I'm afraid, won't live to see the day His Highness tires of me."
Despite having a high fever, Xie Yizhi heard everything clearly.
Especially that line, "His Highness Prince Yi is very fond of him."
He couldn't help but smile, a warm feeling welling up inside him.
This time, Jiang Luoluo was right.
He loved seeing her like that, openly displaying his love for her to everyone.
Lu Anrou was so angry that her face turned red. In the end, she couldn't argue with Jiang Luoluo and could only angrily turn her sleeves and leave.
Jiang Luoluo then turned around and returned to the side hall.
Xie Yizhi fought off his drowsiness, slightly opened his eyes, and kept his gaze on her until she approached, at which point he slowly closed his eyes.
