Su Ruojin had just woken up and wasn't very sleepy, so she randomly picked up a book and sat by the bed to watch over Xiao Yanchu.
The moon rose, and its light, as soft as silk, streamed through the window, illuminating the two people and the mouse, making them appear to glow.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window in the early morning, Su Ruojin, who had fallen asleep sometime earlier, felt a tingling sensation on her face.
She subconsciously waved her hand, muttering, "Mao Mao, stop fooling around."
Well?
Why does it feel off?
Su Ruojin suddenly opened her eyes and met a pair of gentle, watery eyes, which shone with undisguised joy and affection.
"Yan Chu, you're awake?" Su Ruojin quickly grabbed Xiao Yan Chu's hand and took his pulse.
Xiao Yan woke up earlier than she expected. Fortunately, apart from feeling a little weak, everything else was normal.
"Congratulations, the poison has been cured, but you are still weak and need to rest for a few more days."
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu with a smile in her eyes, her face full of satisfaction.
The next second, Xiao Yanchu pulled her into his arms, which startled her. She instinctively tried to break free, but the man's hands held her tightly.
Xiao Yanchu gently stroked the top of her head with his face, his voice hoarse, adding a touch of allure: "Ajin, don't move, let me hug you."
Su Ruojin rested her head on his chest, and the man's steady and powerful heartbeat entered her ears, bringing a sense of peace.
She stopped struggling and just leaned against him quietly, slowly closing her eyes.
Squeak!
The door opened.
Mu Jingshan walked in carrying the medicine. When he saw the scene before him, his mouth dropped open. He quickly closed his eyes and turned around, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. Please continue."
Mu Jingshan turned around with a pained expression on his face.
It's not his fault. He didn't expect the prince to wake up so quickly. He just came to get the medicine at the time the princess instructed, and he never thought he would disturb the prince's good time.
Amitabha Buddha, I hope Your Highness will consider his recovery and not hold him accountable later. Amitabha Buddha.
"Wait a minute," Su Ruojin called out to Mu Jingshan.
She looked at Xiao Yanchu, who was clearly annoyed, and smiled helplessly: "You should take your medicine."
Taking the medicine from Mu Jingshan, Su Ruojin gently blew on it to cool it down before feeding it to Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu's displeasure subsided, and he obediently finished drinking the medicine.
In fact, Xiao Yanchu was just physically weak, not unable to take care of himself.
But patients are always entitled to some privileges, right?
After taking the medicine and eating some porridge, Xiao Yanchu couldn't control her sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep again.
Su Ruojin tucked him in and quietly left the room.
Mu Jingshan was still standing outside the door: "Your Highness, how is the Prince recovering?"
"It's alright. He's just been detoxified, and his body will be very weak for a while. He'll need to rest for a long time. You keep an eye on him for now; I have to go out of the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Su Ruojin went back to her room to tidy up, and then she and Yanlu disguised themselves as two young masters and left the palace.
Following the map provided by Rong Qizhou, they arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
Zhuangzi looked quite large, but the gate was tightly closed, and only occasionally could people enter or leave.
When someone enters or leaves, they can see many soap blanks drying inside through the open door.
Su Ruojin knew she had found the right place.
The two hid behind a tree, and soon a carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard. A girl wearing a veil got off the carriage.
