However, when he stood up, he suddenly staggered.
"Watch out!" Wen Nongnong quickly reached out her other hand and wrapped it tightly around his waist.
Gu Linchao stiffened and looked down at her.
There was a noticeable hint of nervousness on her face.
He paused for a moment, and when his gaze fell upon her body pressed tightly against his, a blush appeared on his handsome face, making him quite uncomfortable.
"I'm fine." After a while, he reached out and pushed her away, then walked out.
Wen Nongnong followed closely behind him, saying, "Your Highness, please be careful..."
"Watch your step..."
Watch out for the threshold!
Gu Linchao: "..."
Si Yi: "..."
When Wen Nong Nong saw him suddenly stop, she quickly stepped forward to support his arm. "Let me support you; it'll be safer that way."
Gu Linchao felt his head hurt even more.
"No need, I am not so sick that I can't even see the road clearly."
Wen Nongnong said, "It's unlikely, but you're ill and your legs aren't as nimble. If you lose your footing and fall, that would be terrible. You bear a heavy responsibility for the country, so you can't be careless in the slightest." As she spoke, she reminded him, "Your Highness, lift your foot."
Gu Linchao rubbed his forehead with his hand, looking at the girl's serious expression, and ultimately did not say the words of refusal.
Wen Nongnong took his arm and escorted him back to the West Garden.
"Your Highness, please lie down on the bed."
Gu Linchao sat down on the couch without saying a word.
However, as soon as he sat down, Wen Nongnong squatted down at his feet to take off his boots.
He was startled for a moment, then realized what she was doing and grabbed her hand as she was about to move. "You don't have to do this..."
Wen Nong Nong looked up at him with her small face, "Your Highness is ill, it is only right that I take care of you."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a favor to ask of me?"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback, meeting the man's dark eyes. She paused, then shook her head. "Why do you say that, Your Highness?" she asked, her face filled with sorrow. "Does Your Highness think that everything I do is for a purpose?"
Seeing her expression as if she had suffered some great injustice, Gu Linchao's lips moved, but he ultimately shook his head, "No."
"Then why did Your Highness say that? I didn't ask anything of you." Wen Nong Nong lowered her head, sniffed, and said with a sob, "If I had any request, it would only be that Your Highness stays healthy, never gets sick, and lives to be a hundred years old."
Gu Linchao looked at her with some shock upon hearing this.
Wen Nong Nong took the opportunity to remove his boots, then lifted his legs and placed them on the couch.
Then, she went behind him and put the pillow in place for him, saying, "Alright, Your Highness, please lie down."
Gu Linchao sat there stiffly, not moving for a long time.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong said understandingly, "Sleeping in an outer robe is indeed uncomfortable. Let me help you take off your clothes." After saying that, she reached out to his waist.
Gu Linchao snapped out of his daze, grabbed her hand, and blushed at the smooth touch. He quickly let go and said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself."
"Oh, okay then." Wen Nongnong didn't force him, but stood up straight and looked at him.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Linchao's hand on his belt remained still, and he felt a layer of sweat forming all over his body.
Turning his head, he saw that the girl's beautiful eyes were staring right at him.
He suddenly felt a sense of tension.
That was a feeling he had never experienced before, even when facing a battlefield with thousands of troops or a treacherous and unpredictable court.
