When Qin Mohan saw Ye Qingcheng enter the palace, he smiled slightly.
Qinglong, who was standing to the side, said, "Master, now that the Crown Prince knows you are alright, he will definitely take action again after we went to the Crown Prince's residence."
"It's alright."
After Qin Mohan finished speaking, he strode into the mansion.
This way.
Ye Qingcheng arrived at the Wisteria Courtyard.
With the careful arrangements of Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin, Xiao Tao has been sent to her room.
After Ye Qingcheng entered the house, she instructed Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin to fetch hot water and some wound medicine from the cold courtyard.
Then.
Ye Qingcheng then began to treat Xiao Tao's wounds.
About an incense stick's time later.
Xiao Tao also woke up.
"Miss..."
Seeing that she had woken up, Ye Qingcheng asked with concern, "How are you? Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Tao shook her head: "I don't feel much pain anymore, thank you, Miss."
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?"
"Miss, my hand?"
"Don't worry! It's nothing serious. You'll fully recover after a few more days of rest."
"Will it take some time? Then won't this servant be unable to serve you?"
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng glared at Xiao Tao: "You little brat, you're already injured like this, and you still want to take care of me."
"I don't need you to wait on me. Focus on recovering these days, understand?"
"Yes...this servant...obeys your command."
"kindness!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Miss, what about the eldest young lady..."
"Don't worry, I, your young lady, will definitely avenge the pain you suffered."
"No need, Miss, I'm fine. The eldest young lady is now the Crown Prince's concubine, so it's best if we don't provoke her."
"Hmph, she's just a concubine. She has to bow to me, the princess."
"Your Highness is right."
As soon as Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, Qin Mohan walked in and said with a smile.
That's right, this time he didn't keep the faint smile, but smiled genuinely.
Ye Qingcheng turned her head and saw that he was actually smiling, and her expression froze slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he composed a poem in his mind to describe Qin Mohan.
The iron tree that has stood for millennia finally blooms, and the icy, cold-faced girl smiles with pursed lips.
"This servant greets Your Highness..."
When Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin saw Qin Mohan enter, they quickly curtsied.
Xiao Tao, on the other hand, seemed to be unconsciously inclined to sit up and bow because of the deeply ingrained sense of hierarchy and etiquette.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng quickly stopped her: "You are injured, you don't need to bow to him."
"Ah? This...Your Highness...This servant dares not..." Xiao Tao glanced fearfully at Qin Mohan.
Qin Mohan glanced at her as well: "You're injured, so let's skip the formalities!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Qin Mohan, what are you doing here?" Ye Qingcheng asked, looking at Qin Mohan.
"I have come to invite the Queen to dine with me."
"Hmm? To eat?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng turned to look outside the door and saw that it had already gotten dark.
"Let's go! You must be tired after a long day. I've already had the servants prepare a feast."
"No need. Xiao Tao is injured, and I need to stay here with her. If you'd like, you can have someone send some over."
"No! Your Highness, you should stay with the Prince!" Xiao Tao said anxiously upon hearing this.
“Yes! Yes! Your Highness, please dine with the Prince! We can handle things here, Sister Tao,” Xiao Cui quickly chimed in.
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry about Xiao Tao. We will take good care of her," Xiao Xin reassured her.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at them and saw that all three of them had the same anxious look on their faces, so she shook her head speechlessly.
But in the end, he sighed and stood up.
"Xiao Xin, come with me to get some food. The three of you can eat together."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at Qin Mohan: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he walked out first.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan's lips curled up again, revealing a subtle smile, before he followed her out of the house.
Xiao Xin followed behind the two of them with her head down.
In a few breaths.
The three of them then arrived at Qin Mohan's courtyard and entered the main room.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
As soon as they entered, the servants who were standing to the side ready to serve them all bowed to Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng nodded to them, then looked at the table, which was filled with dozens of dishes that looked delicious and appealing.
"Qin Mohan, did you have the kitchen prepare all these dishes?"
"Hmm! I didn't know the princess's taste, so I had the kitchen prepare a little extra."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, a sweet feeling welled up within her, and a gentle smile touched her lips.
However, she still pretended to glare at Qin Mohan: "Making so much is such a waste. Luckily, I had Xiao Xin come along to take some over to Xiao Tao and the others."
Qin Mohan did not make any statement after hearing this, because he had already taken in the faint smile that Ye Qingcheng had just shown.
"Xiao Xin, go get a food box and pack a few dishes to take back."
"This...this servant...this servant dares not."
After hearing this, Xiao Xin glanced at Qin Mohan and responded tremblingly.
Ye Qingcheng looked at Qin Mohan: "Your Highness... do you agree?"
Qin Mohan smiled and looked at Xiao Xin: "Your Highness, just take it when I tell you to."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon hearing Qin Mohan's agreement, Xiao Xin was no longer afraid. She turned around, went out, and went to the kitchen to fetch a food box.
