"I asked you to stop."
Xiao Chengyou spoke again in an imperative tone.
This time, Xu Lingyi stopped and walked up to Xiao Chengyou. "Your Highness, you can eat now, but you have to thank me because I cleaned the kitchen, and I exchanged for the food, which I also cooked."
She finally realized that Xiao Chengyou was such a suspicious person.
The more she tried to please him, the more he felt she had bad intentions.
"How can you be so confident in eating the ready-made food? I am not your maid."
Xiao Chengyou didn't say anything, and Xu Lingyi knew it wouldn't be easy to get him to speak.
Xu Lingyi sighed and walked out of the hall with the food in her hand.
She knew that the prince must be thinking about how to kill her in the future.
But she didn't regret it. She was trying her best to please him, and he probably thought the same thing.
For now, she could only wait for the palace banquet in a month. In her previous life, she watched the deposed crown prince being drugged and making a fool of himself in public at this palace banquet.
This time, she planned to take this opportunity to get pregnant.
Even if the deposed prince hated her after she had the child, he would never touch her at all, knowing that she could give birth.
After thinking this through, Xu Lingyi told herself that she didn't need to be so humble all the time.
The deposed prince didn't buy it at all.
Xu Lingyi put the food in the kitchen to keep it warm and went to pull weeds.
She plans to clear a piece of land and grow some vegetables.
Rice and flour can be kept, but vegetables cannot, so the guards did not send much vegetables, only enough to last for about seven days at most.
Xu Lingyi still wanted to grow some herself so that she could be self-sufficient in a month or two.
Xiao Chengyou didn't expect that she would actually dare not to give him food.
He was now unable to move around easily and could only lie on the bed and watch Xu Lingyi leave.
If Xu Lingyi were here, she would notice that Xiao Chengyou's eyes were sinister and fierce, and his dark pupils could send chills down one's spine.
Xiao Chengyou thought of hundreds of ways to kill Xu Lingyi, but after thinking for several hours, he became even hungrier.
He could even hear the sounds in his stomach.
Xiao Chengyou had no choice but to compromise.
Well, since he has already decided to find a way to make a comeback, the most important thing now is to survive and heal his leg.
For now, she has to endure the humiliation. When he gets out in the future, he will cut her and the Xu family and others into pieces.
After Xiao Chengyou thought it through, he called out to Xu Lingyi when she passed by the hall again.
"Come in."
"What is the matter, Your Highness?"
Xu Lingyi secretly curled her lips in her heart, waiting for him to speak.
But Xiao Chengyou remained silent for several seconds.
She knew that he still had pride in his heart.
"What happened today is my fault."
In the end, he still said this sentence, but his face was quite gloomy.
In fact, she wanted to hear him say more, but Xu Lingyi also knew that she couldn't push him any further.
For the deposed prince, this is enough.
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this." She seemed a little awkward.
He spoke kindly, and she seemed to have regained her original gentleness.
"There are only you and me here. Before, I was prejudiced against you because you were a young lady from the Xu family, but today... your words made me realize that the Xu family is the Xu family, and you are you. You can't be mixed up. Your life in the Xu family may not be easy."
Xu Lingyi already knew that Xiao Chengyou was a suspicious person.
He would not believe her so easily. Now these words were probably just to use her.
But she still pretended to be surprised and couldn't help but look up at him.
But she met Xiao Chengyou's sincere gaze, and he seemed to really think so.
"As long as Your Highness does not harbor unwarranted suspicions about me, I will not confront Your Highness. I will... bring the food to Your Highness right away."
The moment she walked out of the hall, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile on her face.
He is really adaptable, no wonder he became the emperor in his previous life.
"Your Highness, please eat."
She hurried back quickly. When Xiao Chengyou got the food, he found it was still warm.
This was something he had not expected, which also meant that Xu Lingyi had been keeping his food warm.
This is not like the Xu family's style.
Every member of the Xu family he came into contact with, whether it was Prime Minister Xu, Xu Baozhu, or Xu Mingyao.
No matter how harmless they appear on the surface, they are actually extremely vicious behind the scenes.
But Xu Lingyi might be better at disguising herself.
Just take a look first. With time, he will naturally be able to discover her true face.
"Your Highness, I will change the medicine for you."
"Um."
After he said this, she became sensible.
After that, Xiao Chengyou looked at her and continued to clean the outside of his palace without stopping for a moment. She opened all the windows.
"Your Highness, you have been stuck in this room for too long. There is a smell. I will open the window to ventilate."
Her movements were extremely skillful, and she didn't look like a rich lady who had never done housework.
Xiao Chengyou watched coldly. In just one or two hours, his entire palace looked brand new. After the windows were opened, the palace looked very bright.
He had to admit that the sunlight filtering through made his mood a little better.
He sat on the bed, looking around, thinking that since it was so clean now, she must be tired.
After a while, footsteps were heard again.
"Your Highness, look what this is."
Xu Lingyi was very excited.
"It's just a wild flower." Xiao Chengyou said coldly.
Xu Lingyi smiled and spoke softly, "Yes, although it's just a wild flower, it's very beautiful. I'll place it by your bed. I hope you'll feel better looking at it."
