Upon hearing this, Su Miao instinctively tensed up.
Could it really be true...?
After Tao'er put the things away, she smiled and said, "Young Master Xie came up last night and brought you your favorite sweet cakes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Tao'er looked at Su Miao with some surprise.
Why did she sense that her young mistress... seemed somewhat disappointed?
Miss Xie was always very happy when he came up the mountain in the past.
Because Prince Xie will bring delicious food over, although it's nice to stay here, the food is rather bland.
Su Miao shook her head, concealing the disappointment in her eyes.
"It's nothing, go wash up! Aren't we going to gather herbs today?"
Although Old Master Lu said she didn't need to gather herbs, he was already quite old, and she didn't want him to climb up and down the stairs.
"good."
Because she wasn't in the capital, Su Miao wore very light-colored clothes.
She touched her robes, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but think of what Shen Changji had said before.
He said she looked good in plain colors.
Although she also liked bright colors, she mostly switched to neutral colors at that time.
Half of it was because of my own purposes, and the other half...
Perhaps at that time, she already had suspicions about him.
Before entering the Duke's mansion, I had not yet met Shen Changji. Although I had heard people in the mansion talk about him, I had only a vague feeling towards him.
But she didn't know when it started, but whenever she saw him again, her heart was no longer at peace.
Love arises without warning...
She thought she really wouldn't be tempted, but things don't always go as planned...
"Miss, Young Master Xie is waiting for you outside."
Tao'er's voice interrupted Su Miao's momentary reverie.
She responded and went out.
During this time, Xie Qin has managed Qingjiang City quite well. If she can get rid of the poison in her body, then the time it takes for her to return will probably be about the same as Xie Qin's.
At that time...
She would really be able to see him.
Upon seeing Su Miao, Xie Qin couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Lu Zhong: "This girl is still looking at the stars late at night, she probably hasn't had enough sleep."
Xie Qin handed the food box to Su Miao, saying, "This is what you like to eat."
"It's kind of you, Young Master Xie, to treat me so well."
Su Miao took the food box with a smile on her face.
Xie Qin looked at Su Miao's smile and couldn't help but curl her lips as well.
Are you going to gather herbs today? I'll go with you.
Lu Zhong: "No need, the girl didn't sleep well last night, so we won't pick any today."
Su Miao: "No, no, no! I can do it today!"
She didn't want to go back to sleep after breakfast.
If she doesn't go to gather herbs or take a walk today, then... she's afraid her mind will be filled with that dream from last night all day.
Xie Qin: "Then I'll stay with you."
"good!"
After having breakfast, Su Miaoqian set off with Xie Qin.
Shen Changji stood on the opposite bank watching her and Xie Qin.
He rushed over last night and only caught a glimpse of Su Miao.
Lu Zhong said that Su Miao's condition was not very stable, and seeing her might affect her emotions.
So he only stayed for a moment, did not wake her, and left when it was just beginning to get light.
The Su Miao before him seemed to have returned to the way she was when they first met.
She looked nothing like she did when she was trapped in the private residence.
"Thank you! Look, I found this good stuff! You've been busy lately, haven't you? I'll make some pills for you to make sure you sleep well," Su Miao said proudly.
"real?"
"certainly!"
As soon as Su Miao finished speaking, she noticed a small insect hanging on Xie Qin's clothes.
Seeing that Xie Qin was about to move, she quickly said, "Don't move!"
Su Miao suddenly shouted, and Xie Qin immediately stopped what he was doing and stood still.
Su Miao held a small leaf and approached Xie Qin.
As Su Miao approached, Xie Qin noticed a small insect on his clothes.
"Miao'er, I can do it myself."
"Don't move!" Su Miao frowned and said seriously.
Xie Qin had no choice but to remain still.
However, from Shen Changji's perspective, their behavior appeared very intimate.
His face darkened.
Especially the way Su Miao looked at Xie Qin when she raised her eyes—it was an indescribable innocence.
The two seemed to have gathered herbs like this more than once or twice, and their relationship was still quite close.
Su Miao hadn't noticed anything amiss and simply grabbed the insect through the leaf.
"We got it! We got it!"
Su Miao spoke with a beaming smile on her face.
Xie Qin's gaze softened as he looked at her.
Shen Changji didn't see this and left directly.
As soon as he got into the carriage, the oppressive atmosphere made Lone Eagle speechless.
Just a few hours ago, when he saw his master, he had a joyful expression on his face, but now... he has become sullen again.
Because of matters in the capital, Shen Changji did not stay for long.
When Xie Qin returned, Shen Changji had already left.
However... Xie Qin was not so free from then on, and there were always things to do.
He used to be able to see Su Miao once every five days, but now... he can't see her even once a month.
But Su Miao stayed on Baishan Mountain and lived a good life there.
He could only learn about Su Miao's health condition through Lu Zhonglai's letters.
As Su Miao recovered, she began to help Lu Zhong with his work.
Lu Zhong was generous, and while the two spent time together, he would occasionally teach Su Miao some medical skills.
Su Miao was already interested in this, so she never found her days boring and found it enjoyable.
