"You and Xiao Wuzi won't be infected by my illness, right? Why don't you drink some medicine too."
"I'm fine. Xiao Wuzi didn't stay long, so he should be fine, right?"
After hearing what the young lady said, Hong Xing suddenly realized how impulsive she was to let Xiao Wuzi in casually. But she had already done it and there was no point in regretting it. She could only pray that Xiao Wuzi was in good health and would not be infected.
While she was answering Shi Ying's words seriously, she was not slow to react at all. She pressed down Shi Ying's thin, white and weak wrist:
"My lord, please don't blow the wind."
Her thoughts were interrupted, Shi Qian withdrew her hand awkwardly, muttering, "I'm hot."
Time seemed to go back to childhood, Shi Qiang was acting coquettishly towards Hong Xing, not showing any seriousness as she promised.
——Although she is not that serious.
"Hong Xing, you are so nice." Shi Qiang was moved and after a while, she added, "Xiao Wuzi is also very nice."
Hong Xing nodded: "The young master is also very good."
"Tell me, can I give him hope?" Shi Qian suddenly asked.
It seemed like she was just saying it casually. After asking, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I know it's impossible."
She not only agreed at the time, but also had her father, mother, and nine clans behind her.
Even if she was just an unpopular concubine with no presence in the harem, if she took the risk of being with the young eunuch and was discovered one day, she would be guilty of a heinous crime punishable by beheading and the extermination of her entire clan.
She...can't give Xiao Wuzi hope.
Hong Xing is silent. She usually has a lot of psychological activities and is always struggling with the fact that she doesn't want to be with Xiao Wuzi.
In fact, she knew deep down that this was simply impossible.
Seeing that Shi Qiang was in a low mood, Hong Xing didn't know how to comfort her. After thinking for a while, she gave her a small piece of Fuling cake:
"My dear, are you hungry? Would you like some Fuling Cake?"
Shi Qian said, "You eat, I don't have much appetite now."
Hong Xing was really hungry, so she stuffed the food into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it: "Xiao Wuzi brought double portions."
Shi Qian curled her lips slightly and said, "He has always been careful, maybe it's one for each of you and me."
Hong Xing exclaimed in delight: "Xiao Wuzi is so kind that he brought it to me."
"Eat more if you're hungry. You must be exhausted after taking care of me for so long."
Shi Qian coughed softly, and looked at the little maid in front of her with chubby cheeks with a bit of doting in her eyes.
Hong Xing then tried another kind of pastry, which was also delicious.

In the afternoon, Chu Qi followed Eunuch An to clean out the cats in the palace. Although it was called a cleanup, there were actually not many cats to be found, and those that were found by chance had all escaped.
If Chu Qi saw it first, she would secretly throw a small stone to remind the cat to run away.
After all, each cat has its own consequences. She can't just help the tyrant and kill all the cats just because a cat hurt Xiang Fei, right?
