Xu Lingyi was indeed skilled in changing the dressings. These were the things the doctor left behind before he left. Xu Lingyi bandaged him in no time.
"You said you studied pharmacology?"
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly: "I once met a wandering doctor, and he taught me some things."
Xiao Chengyou looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes deep.
When he was sick, the Xu family sent in a concubine who knew pharmacology. They were really thoughtful.
"People who understand pharmacology must also be able to use poison, right?" Xiao Chengyou showed a mocking smile.
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and said, "I know what Your Highness is thinking. You don't need to test me. If you are worried about me, you don't have to eat the food I send you in the future. Your Highness can also apply the medicine yourself."
"You don't dare to poison." Xiao Chengyou spoke indifferently with a firm tone.
If he was poisoned to death here, the Xu family would not be free from responsibility.
This was the first time Xu Lingyi showed a bit of her edge; even a clay figure has a temper.
She had no intention of harming him, and now that she was being wronged by him, she was still being nice and polite. The deposed prince must have been even more convinced that she had ulterior motives.
"So His Highness knows this too."
"Then, Your Highness, have you ever considered that it's not that I dare not, but I just don't want to? I have no grudge against Your Highness, so there's no need to poison you."
If she wasn't the daughter of that treacherous prime minister, he might have thought he had wronged her.
But how could such a cunning fox give birth to a sheep?
"It's not like I have no grudges against you."
Instead, he has a deep hatred. He knows exactly who has harmed him, and he will not let either the Xu family or Xiao Hengyuan go.
She is a daughter of the Xu family. If he can be reinstated, he will naturally not forgive her.
"Oh, then Your Highness can't deal with me now, and has to rely on me instead."
Xu Lingyi put away the medicine box and said, "My only wish is to stay alive. I have no intention of harming anyone. I know Your Highness doesn't believe me. Please rest well."
She also realized that no matter whether she was good or bad, the deposed prince was now suspicious of her.
Perhaps the gentler she was to him, the more wary he became.
In her previous life, Xiao Chengyou did deal with the Xu family, but she died before that.
This is also one of the reasons why Xu Lingyi came to the deposed prince's mansion. She also wanted to survive.
After being reborn, I must not let my parents down. I can't be a short-lived ghost again.
Xiao Chengyou looked at Xu Lingyi's leaving back with a calm look in his eyes.
Xu Lingyi cherishes every day after her rebirth. Since she will be staying here for a long time, she wants to make her living environment better.
She first cleaned her residence again, making it spotless.
It is much better than the deposed prince's messy doghouse-like place.
Xiao Chengyou could hear the sound of water outside even in his own residence, as there was a window in his room that allowed him to see outside.
He saw her walking around, drawing water from the well, washing clothes, hanging clothes, washing tables, chairs and benches...
She seemed to have not been idle for a moment the whole day. Even though she was so tired that she could not straighten her back, she still had a smile on her face and a smile on her face.
She had a vitality that he no longer had.
Xiao Chengyou looked at her smile from afar and found it extremely dazzling.
Why could she still laugh here? Was it because she knew the Xu family would rescue her?
It's a pity that she will be disappointed. Now that she is here, she didn't go out yesterday, so she will be locked up here for the rest of her life, and no one can help her.
If she knew this, she would never be able to laugh again.
The next day, the guards brought some rice, flour, grain, oil, and rapeseed.
Although the quantity is not much, it is enough for them to live for a month.
"Your Highness, take your medicine."
Xu Lingyi placed the medicine bowl beside him and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Chengyou asked coldly.
"Is there anything wrong, Your Highness?" Xu Lingyi turned around and smiled faintly.
Xiao Chengyou stretched out his bony hand, grasped the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. His cold eyes glanced at her.
"Haven't you changed the medicine yet today?"
He stretched out his legs, looking as if it was a matter of course, as if she was really his maid.
"Your Highness, don't you know that you should have the right attitude when asking for help?" Xu Lingyi said softly.
"When you first came here, you said you would take care of me?" Xiao Chengyou let out a mocking smile. "Why, you forgot so quickly?"
"A doctor has a kind heart. I will save any sick person I meet on the road. I felt sorry for Your Highness that day and offered to take care of you, but you didn't appreciate it, and I, a humble servant, didn't want to be ignored."
"Anyway, you are not a prince now, and I am no less humble than you."
A sneer appeared on his thin lips, and his eyes were like a cold blade.
"Is this the limited patience of the daughter sent by the Xu family? Now she can no longer pretend and her true colors are revealed?"
"Think whatever you want." Xu Lingyi walked away without looking back.
Xiao Chengyou then saw her fetch a basin of water, walk towards the kitchen, and then go in and out.
Then he watched her weed again, as if she were still cultivating the fields.
Xiao Chengyou looked indifferent. He had been looking around for the whole morning and found this place too boring.
He told himself to just treat it as a show.
It was almost noon when Xu Lingyi finally came into the hall again. "Your Highness, let's eat."
In fact, he had already smelled the fragrance of rice.
Xiao Chengyou looked up at her and said deliberately: "Miss Xu, don't you know that if you didn't leave that day, you will never leave here again."
He hated to see her smiling like this.
Even though she was sweating profusely and working non-stop, she looked very relaxed and unrestrained, as if she was free.
