Princess Zhaoyang frowned in surprise, abandoned her entourage, and followed Lu Chuan.

On the other side, Qin Xi helped Lu Huai back into the courtyard.
Her eyes revealed undisguised heartache: "Why didn't you wear more clothes before running out?"
Lu Huai was about to defend himself when he coughed: "Cough, cough..."
Qin Xi frowned, quickly helped him to bed and tucked him in.
Lele walked up to her and knelt down: "Miss, please forgive me. It was this servant who went to invite the young master. This servant is willing to accept the punishment."
Lele has always been calm and composed, which has saved her a lot of trouble.
Qin Xi didn't blame her. She reached out and helped her up, saying, "It's alright, the medicine has just gotten cold, so we need to brew another batch."
"This servant will go right away!"
Lele was about to leave when Lu Huai stopped her.
"No need. I just like it cold."
Qin Xi was a little angry: "Stop messing around! You need to take your medicine quickly to get better. Let Lele brew another dose so you can get better faster."
"Cough cough..." Lu Huai held her hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "But I just like drinking the tea you make."
Qin Xi was stunned, a few blushes appearing on her face, and she stammered, "Then...then I'll go and make another one..."
"No need for that, just warm it up." A smile played on his pale lips, and his face regained a little color. "Thank you for your trouble, Qin Xi."
She shook her head, saying she was just doing her job.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed her silently wiping away tears with her head down.
Qin Xi looked at her strangely: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Bao Bao rubbed her red eyes and shook her head, refusing to say anything.
Qin Xi frowned and emphasized, "Speak."
After all, this was her master whom she had served for many years. Qin Qi's mere display of authority intimidated Bao Bao. She choked back tears, saying, "It's all my fault... If I hadn't been so reckless, the young master wouldn't have... wouldn't have braved the cold to come out... It's all my fault..."
Qin Xi understood; it turned out the little girl was being too sensitive.
Bao Bao is two years younger than both Qin Xi and Lele, only fifteen years old. Having grown up with her, Qin Xi has long regarded her as a younger sister. Although not as composed as Lele, her lively and energetic personality adds a lot of fun to Qin Xi's life.
Qin Xi stood up and patted her head: "Silly girl, I don't blame you, why blame yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Bao Bao cried even louder: "Waaah... Miss... this servant, this servant... waaah..."
Seeing this, Lele was afraid of disturbing Lu Huai's rest, so she quickly took her out and went to warm up the bowl of medicine that Princess Zhaoyang had left behind before she left.
The room fell silent instantly.
Qin Qi watched the two leave, then smiled helplessly. Turning around, she saw Lu Huai staring at her with resentful eyes.
Qin Xi: "..."
She raised an eyebrow: "What's up?"
He pouted, his tone sour: "You never even touch my head..."
Qin Xi crossed her arms and watched his performance: "You still have the nerve to say that? Tell me how you caught a cold?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai's eyes darted away: "I..."
Suddenly, A-Yu spoke up: "Young Madam, I...I know! Young Master is because of last night..."
"Cough cough cough..." Lu Huai coughed while staring at him with a warning look in his eyes.
Ayu hesitated: "Young Master, he..."
Qin Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at A Yu: "Hmm?"
Ayu: "It's nothing really..."
