Su Wanyan had originally bought clothes for Yu Nanqing, intending to clean him up and dress him in them, but now she felt a little embarrassed.
However, Su Wanyan quickly calmed down. After all, she was a medical student, so her mental fortitude was top-notch.
Moreover, once you start, you'll start again. Just like when she first took anatomy class, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to make a cut, but after a few more classes, she got used to it.
After adjusting my mindset, I went back into the room and found that Yu Nanqing was already asleep.
"He's just like a normal person when he's asleep."
Yu Nanqing's face was as white as a sheet of paper, so pale that it would break anyone's heart.
He had long eyelashes, distinct facial features, and was very handsome. He was a classic ancient beauty. When he was awake, his eyes would have a cold look, covering his originally gentle face with a layer of frost.
It's best to fall asleep peacefully like this.
Su Wanyan wasn't someone who cared about appearances, but her looks were truly pleasing to the eye.
She squatted on the edge of the bed and watched for a while, and then unknowingly fell asleep. She went out to buy things early in the morning and was busy for a long time afterward. Su Wanyan was already exhausted.
In the evening, there was a gentle knock on the door of the main courtyard.
Yu Nanqing suddenly opened her eyes.
The next second, he paused, stunned.
He saw Su Wanyan fall asleep right there on the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but frown. These past few days... it seemed like she had been falling asleep like this all along.
Just then, there was another soft knock on the door. His eyes turned cold: "Who is it?"
Leng Ning's voice was weak, yet it carried steadily to the outside of the door.
Xu Si's hand trembled as he held the dinner, and he spoke in a shaky voice, "This servant...this servant has come to bring...the Prince and the Empress food..."
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, watching as Su Wanyan showed no signs of waking up.
Just as he was hesitating whether to speak, he heard Xu Si's cautious voice from outside the door: "Um... Your Highness, should... should this servant leave the meal at the door...?"
He really didn't dare go in again.
Just then, Su Wanyan's eyebrows twitched, and she opened her eyes groggily: "Is it Xu Si who's here?"
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, and after a long while, she finally hummed in agreement.
Su Wanyan yawned, stretched her arm which had gone numb from being used as a pillow, and then got up to open the door.
Xu Si, who was waiting at the door, trembled with fright. When he saw that it was Su Wanyan, he breathed a sigh of relief and presented the food with a smile: "Your Majesty, this servant has brought you food."
Xu Si's injuries hadn't healed yet; his face was bruised and his nose swollen, he was limping, and his hands were crippled. Su Wanyan took the food and casually asked, "How are your injuries?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm perfectly healthy, it's just a minor injury..." Xu Si waved his hands repeatedly.
Su Wanyan nodded: "Okay, that's good. Come over first thing tomorrow morning and weed the yard."
Although Xu Si was in a terrible situation, Su Wanyan would not sympathize with him.
If she hadn't set fire to the kitchen in a fit of rage, Xu Si and the people in the kitchen might not have treated her the way they did. The news from the Prince's mansion wouldn't have spread, and the original owner's father wouldn't have cared about her.
When a group of men attack a woman, the worst possible outcome is that they will rape her and then kill her. Even if she doesn't die, she will be badly injured and suffer a lot.
Xu Si's body trembled slightly as he turned to look at the overgrown weeds in the yard: "This..."
So many, and he's still injured. Are they trying to kill him?
"If you don't want to, then forget it. I'm not the kind of person who forces others," Su Wanyan said, and then prepared to close the door.
Xu Si quickly replied, "No, no, no, this servant is willing, this servant is willing. It's just some weeds, this servant will definitely help Your Highness remove them tomorrow."
Su Wanyan smiled with satisfaction: "That's a good girl."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and went into the room with the food.
Su Wanyan put down the food and went to light the candles first.
The dim candlelight illuminated a corner of the room. She placed the candle on the bedside table, reached out to help Yu Nanqing's head rest, picked up a spoonful of congee, blew on it, and fed it to Yu Nanqing.
Yu Nanqing did not resist, silently opened her mouth, and ate the food that was handed to her.
The flickering candlelight, though dim, still warmed Yu Nanqing's heart with a warmth he himself was unaware of.
He glanced at Su Wanyan feeding him spoonful by spoonful, her focused expression showing no other thoughts.
After a few bites, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, you don't need to do these things."
Su Wanyan was stunned: "What?"
Yu Nanqing closed his long eyes slightly and said in a calm tone: "Since you were able to subdue Xu Si and make him work for you, and dared to kill and set fires, you can be considered to have extraordinary courage. If you could stand in the Emperor's camp and attach yourself to the Emperor, you would be safer than if you were with me."
Although she lacked strategic acumen, she was resourceful. Within this mansion, as long as they weren't on his side, they wouldn't make things too difficult for her.
"Oh." Su Wanyan seemed to realize something, she hadn't thought of that.
When Yu Nanqing heard her reply, his heart felt as if it had been gripped by something.
He was indeed foolish. Oh well, he doesn't have much time left anyway, so let's just take this as a reminder.
Su Wanyan, unaware of Yu Nanqing's inner thoughts, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and continued to feed him, saying, "I didn't think that much about it. I just saw you looking so miserable and wanted to take care of you out of kindness."
"..."
"Besides, didn't you save me? The first night I met you, if you hadn't taken me in, those people would have really captured me, and I don't know if I would have lived or died. Don't worry, I'm not an ungrateful person. Even if you don't get better, I will take good care of you before I leave."
That counts as saving someone?
It's just that I don't want to cause any more trouble.
Yu Nanqing opened his eyes and looked intently into hers.
Su Wanyan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Yu Nanqing looked away without saying a word.
Su Wanyan didn't mind: "You're so mysterious."
As if remembering something, Su Wanyan put down the porridge: "Oh right, I bought you a few sets of clothes when we left the manor today. I'll help you put them on so you won't be naked all day."
"..." Yu Nanqing coughed lightly, and then saw her take out several sets of clothes from the bundle next to her.
Frowning: "You left the manor today?"
"yes."
Yu Nanqing frowned even more, puzzled: "The Prince's mansion is completely surrounded, how could you possibly leave?"
Su Wanyan raised an eyebrow, feigning mystery: "I won't tell you."
"..." Yu Nanqing's eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be that she is...
The thought had barely formed when he quickly dismissed it. Impossible. She could have any reason, but she was definitely not on the Emperor's side.
Considering her carefree and uninhibited behavior these past few days, I'm afraid she genuinely doesn't want to tell him, and it's not for any other reason.
But... why didn't she tell him?
Didn't she say they were in the same boat?
