He lowered his eyes, about to speak, when he saw her pale face covered in sweat, and realized that she seemed to have fainted.
He tightened his grip on her, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Southern Tang Dynasty
His tone became slightly harsher than he had intended.
Your Highness
The Southern Tang man, who was standing at the door, walked in, but before he could even bow, he was called over.
Come and take a look.
When the Southern Tang emperor looked up and saw a woman lying in his arms, he was startled.
He hurried over. Back when he traveled all over the country, he had learned some medical skills in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
He took Su Yan's pulse, and after a long while, he spoke.
"Your Highness, everything looks normal from the pulse, there's nothing seriously wrong, it's just that the body is a bit weak."
Why did you faint?
The Southern Tang replied respectfully.
"Perhaps, it's because they're hungry."
At this moment, Su Yan also recovered and opened her eyes.
Her eyes were moist, and after sweeping over Nan Tang and Xuan Yuan Yong Hao, her gaze fell on the bag of candy.
Xuanyuan Yonghao looked her over as she woke up, his tone carrying a hint of mockery or amusement.
"I've never seen a maid faint from hunger before. I've certainly learned something new today."
As he was speaking, Nan Tang, seeing that it was no longer his business, consciously withdrew.
Su Yan stood up, her voice soft.
"Then this servant will take her leave first, and let Chunhua come in to serve you."
He then turned to leave.
"stop"
A low, gentle voice came out.
Su Yan stopped walking, feeling listless and lacking energy from hunger.
Xuan Yuan Yonghao looked at her, who seemed as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Hua squeaked angrily. Just a moment ago she felt sorry for the male lead and thought he was so fragile, but now she thought, "Hmph, what a bad guy."
Then I heard his voice was indifferent.
"I need someone to taste the dishes, you will do it."
Su Yan looked up immediately upon hearing this.
"kindness?"
She walked back without even realizing it.
Watching her listen to the food tasting, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and her complexion seemed to have improved considerably.
He smiled slightly, and lowered his eyes for a moment.
"sit"
Su Yan was obedient this time. When told to sit down, she didn't refuse and pulled out a chair and sat down.
Then, looking at this table full of exquisite dishes.
obediently asked
"What dish would Your Highness like to eat?"
"I don't have much of an appetite. Just eat whichever one looks appetizing."
Su Yan obeyed and picked up the dish closest to her.
Put it in your mouth, chew it carefully, and swallow it.
He raised his head and said earnestly
"Not poisonous"
As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks beside her to serve Xuan Yuan Yonghao some food. At that moment, Xuan Yuan Yonghao picked up the chopsticks himself, took a bite, and tasted it.
This completely eliminated the need for Su Yan to serve the dishes.
His eyes were lowered, and his thin lips slowly...
"continue"
Su Yan then turned to another dish, and after a stick of incense had burned, she had eaten all the dishes on the table.
There was also a white and tender steamed bun and a bowl of white fungus and bird's nest porridge.
Su Yan was thin and couldn't eat much.
I was starving, so I ate this much and I'm full.
She put down her chopsticks, and after she finished eating, her face didn't look so pale anymore; it had a rosy blush.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she seemed... not as dull as before.
Xuanyuan Yonghao thought about it silently for a while.
Su Yan stood up, picked up the teacup from the side, and placed it in front of him.
"Please have some, Your Highness."
A glint flashed in his eyes, a half-smile playing on his lips.
It really makes a difference when you're full; your mind is sharper than before.
