"Alright, you're injured like this, so you should rest well. Here are some tonics that I had Shang Yu prepare for you."
"It is truly unbecoming of a prince to spend his days studying cosmetics. Now that he is lame, he will inevitably have a long period of recuperation and will need to use a lot of medicine. I imagine his sense of smell will be affected and become impaired by the medicine."
Jing Shuo held the bowl of medicine in his hands, his hands trembling involuntarily. He looked at the dark medicine in the bowl with fear, and was about to smash it.
"I don't……"
"If you fall, I will have someone prepare another medicine for you. But next time, I can't guarantee whether it will be medicine or poison. After all, you'll be crippled and won't have the chance to be reused in the future. You'll be no different from a useless person."
"You're useless, nobody's going to care if you die!"
After Jing Yan finished speaking, he stared intently at Jing Shuo's actions, determined to make him finish the drink in front of him.
Hearing Jing Yan's warning, Jing Shuo considered in his heart that Jing Yan's visit was not to harm him, but simply to prevent him from making things difficult for Yue Jiang.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Would you like to rest?" Qingke walked over and asked gently.
Hearing the voice, Yue Jiang turned around, stretched her arms to loosen her muscles and bones: "I'm feeling very tired, and it's still early so I don't want to lie down. I want to go to the side hall to soak in the hot spring."
Qingke, in high spirits, became very diligent: "Your Highness, it's been a long time since I've served you while you soak in the hot springs. Fortunately, the fruits and vegetables in the kitchen are fresh today, so I'll prepare them for you and also get you a pot of fruit wine."
Yue Jiang listened attentively. Regardless of what nonsense Jing Yan had heard Jing Shuo spout, life had to go on. They could just deal with whatever came their way later.
