Zhao Cong's cold and stern face was extremely tense. "Your face is already pale and you still won't admit it. Where exactly are you feeling unwell? There's no need to be polite with me now."
He's like this...
Are you very worried about yourself?
Lin Qingwan lowered her eyelashes slightly, not daring to stare at him for too long, and her palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Zhao Cong became even more anxious, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Lin Qingwan parted her thin lips slightly, "I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just that the medicine is too bitter."
As she spoke, her face was almost buried under the covers.
It's really embarrassing to be a grown adult who's afraid of bitter medicine...
Zhao Cong's dark eyes trembled, and a smile appeared on his lips. "It was my oversight."
"Cang Ying, bring over the candied fruit."
Soon the news spread throughout the palace and beyond that Lady Wan was afraid of the bitterness of her medicine and wanted to eat candied fruit instead.
As soon as Feng'er got home from school, she ran as fast as she could towards the main house, asking, "Is Mother feeling better?"
Seeing his hurried manner, Zhao Cong couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you just rip the door off before coming in?"
Feng'er was surprised to see him there, and immediately stopped being playful, bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Father."
"Your mother has caught a cold. Don't stay with her for the next couple of days. Let her rest properly."
Feng'er said dejectedly, "Yes."
Lin Qingwan couldn't bear to see him like this, so she asked through the curtain, "What interesting things did you hear outside today?"
Feng'er smiled mischievously, "It's so novel."
"Tell me about it," Lin Qingwan said, genuinely curious.
Zhao Cong also raised an eyebrow and looked over.
Feng'er said, word by word, "It is said that Mother caught a cold, so Father didn't even go to court. He personally stayed by your side, fed you medicine, and even had candied fruit prepared for you because he was worried that your mouth would taste bitter."
“They all said they never realized Father was such a loving person, and that Mother must be the most beautiful and gentle person in the world, otherwise how could she have Father so captivated that he never leaves her side.”
Lin Qingwan closed her eyes. Why did she have to ask that extra question?
Seeing that her father had no expression, Feng'er tentatively asked, "Father, are you angry?"
Zhao Cong: "Why are you angry? They didn't talk nonsense."
Lin Qingwan closed her eyes again. Why wasn't the medicine working? Why wasn't she asleep yet?
