In truth, he knew very well that drinking medicine sip by sip was very bitter, and it would be better to just drink it directly from a bowl, but in order to hear her say a few more words, he was willing to suffer.
However, she remained silent, simply holding the spoon and waiting for him to drink.
He didn't move, and she didn't speak. The two remained deadlocked, neither willing to back down.
Finally, Hongli couldn't help but ask, "Aren't your hands sore?"
Holding it up like that for a long time would naturally cause soreness, but he asked her to give him the medicine, and she had to do so.
He was sick, but she didn't soften her heart and say a word. Hongli secretly scoffed at Hongzhou's terrible idea, which was useless and infuriating!
Greatly disappointed, he turned his face away and waved his hand, "Fine! Since you're unwilling, I won't force you. This illness won't kill me, so you can leave!"

After he finished drinking his medicine, she spoke again, "I want to go to the temple to burn incense."
If she only spoke reluctantly because he threatened her, then shouldn't she be taking the initiative to speak to him now?
It was rare for her to have such an idea, so he was happy to oblige! Overjoyed, Hongli didn't think much of it and replied loudly, "Alright, I have official business to attend to tomorrow, and I'll take you to the temple the day after tomorrow."
Hongli thought that the fifth prince's bad idea had finally worked, but little did he know that Su Yushan had other plans.
