"Huh? Oh." Wen Nongnong then realized she was still lying on top of him. Just as she was about to get up, Wang Houde's stammering voice rang out in the room, "This servant...this servant didn't mean to disturb you, I'll just put the medicine here first..."
Before he finished speaking, he ran away in a flash.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Gu Linchao: "..."
The two looked at each other, then immediately looked away as if burned by something.
"Your Highness, the medicine is ready. I'll go and bring it to you." Wen Nongnong realized what was happening and quickly jumped out of bed to bring the medicine bowl over.
Gu Linchao's handsome face was burning hot, whether from a fever or from the embarrassing incident just now, it was hard to tell.
He had just sat up when Wen Nongnong came over. She held a bowl of medicine in one hand and a pillow in the other, quickly placing it behind him before sitting down on the edge of the bed. "Your Highness, let me feed you."
As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of the medicine, blew on it to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then fed it to Gu Linchao.
Gu Linchao blushed slightly, clearly uncomfortable. He subconsciously turned his head away from her feeding him, his voice tight, "I can do it myself."
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong didn't insist. She handed the bowl to him and urged him softly, "Then drink it while it's hot, and then go to sleep."
Gu Linchao took the medicine bowl and was about to drink it when he heard her admonishing tone: "Remember to blow on it to cool it down first, so you don't burn yourself."
He paused for a moment, then blew on the bottle before drinking.
After he finished taking his medicine, fearing that Wen Nongnong would not leave, he hurriedly called Wang Houde in and instructed, "Send the princess back."
"Yes." Wang Houde was still thinking about the scene he had just witnessed, and he felt quite guilty. He had come in at the worst possible time, ruining his master and empress's good time. He was truly guilty.
Thinking this, he smiled obsequiously at Wen Nongnong, "Your Majesty, this servant will escort you back."
Wen Nongnong, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. She waved her hand and said, "No need. I can go back by myself. You stay and take care of the prince."
Watching her walk out, Gu Linchao breathed a faint sigh of relief.
As I lay down, I couldn't help but reach out and touch my chest.
The image of the girl lying here just now flashed clearly in my mind.
He frowned, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
Maybe he was delirious from the fever, otherwise why would he feel that way?
He rubbed his temples.
The medicine took effect quickly, and before long, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up in the evening, he was covered in sweat, but he felt much better.
When Wen Nongnong brought the food box over, the room was empty; there was no sign of Gu Linchao.
I asked the servants and learned that after Gu Linchao woke up, he went to his study to handle government affairs.
Wen Nongnong frowned. "This guy really doesn't take his health seriously."
When she carried the food box to the study, she found Gu Linchao dealing with government affairs.
"Your Majesty is here!" Wang Houde exclaimed joyfully upon seeing her.
Gu Linchao's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, leaving a streak of ink on the paper.
A vein throbbed on his forehead, and he glanced at Wang Houde with a cold look in his eyes.
Wang Houde felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. He turned around and met his master's icy gaze. His heart trembled, and he slunk away.
Wen Nongnong did not notice anything unusual about the master and servant. After she came in, she placed the food box on the table, then went over and asked with concern, "Has the prince's fever subsided?"
