"Don't tell His Highness for now."
Fei Wan blinked and smiled.
Pei Yanzhou hesitated slightly. He didn't care that Fei Wan didn't respond to his question. Instead, he lowered his eyes, smiled lightly, and poured tea into the teacup on the table.
It was just an ordinary action of pouring tea, but it was done with extreme elegance.
He gently pushed the teacup in front of Fei Wan and said, "If Princess doesn't mind, you can have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
After saying that, he smiled and added, "It's not cold."
Maybe it was because Feiwan went out just now that Qing'an changed the pot of tea.
Such an action must have been instructed by Pei Yanzhou.
Now she did not forget to ask Qing'an to change a pot of hot tea to warm her body.
He was still unconscious just now, but now that he's awake he seems to be forcing himself.
If Fei Wan hadn't known that he had a high fever, she would have thought Pei Yanzhou was just an ordinary person.
Maybe Pei Yanzhou was too defensive and didn't want to show his vulnerability in front of her?
Pei Yanzhou was wary of her, but she shouldn't have cared. This time, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and after sending the herbs, they had nothing to do with each other anymore.
However, just now...
In fact, there is another important point.
When she touched him just now,
The aura of several worlds disappeared, and this time she felt... the familiar him.
But after just a moment, he disappeared.
Even if she hadn't relied on this to identify him in the previous worlds, she would have been able to find him anyway.
But why does it appear again this time?
She wanted confirmation.
Fei Wan looked at Pei Yanzhou. Without hesitation, she took the cup of tea and drank it.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The tea is slightly bitter and not new, so it tastes like average quality.
Fei Wan put down the cup.
"It was cold outside, but it's warm now."
Pei Yanzhou curled his lips, took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word.
But the next moment he started coughing again, and his face seemed even paler.
Seeing him like this, Fei Wan couldn't help but wonder what this hostage of Pei State had done to be injured so seriously.
Judging from the plot, he doesn't seem like a character who would cause trouble.
This was heartbreaking to watch. Fei Wan stood up and leaned over to ask, "Is Your Highness okay? Do you need me to check on you again?"
She was so close that Pei Yanzhou avoided her slightly.
"Don't bother Princess, I'm fine."
Fei Wan was stunned.
Did he dislike her a little? Or was he afraid she would notice something was wrong?
She heard Pei Yanzhou explain, "I don't like others touching me, so I was quite offensive just now."
His eyes fell on Fei Wan's slightly red wrist. Fei Wan followed his gaze and realized that he explained it this way because of what happened just now.
It is indeed not appropriate to be so overwhelming at first sight, but is the reason really that you don't like being touched?
"No problem."
Fei Wan replied with a smile. She skipped the topic but didn't intend to let him go. Although Fei Wan couldn't find an excuse to touch him again, she could still understand the basic situation.
Pei Yanzhou answered every question, and his answers were flawless and there was nothing wrong to find.
Even when asked about the Pei State, he neither offended the Xiao Dynasty nor tried to please it, and his answers were neither humble nor arrogant.
Fei Wan was worrying about how to lower Pei Yanzhou's guard when Xi Ruo came in.
"Princess, I have brought the herbs."
Xi Ruo smiled and handed the herbs to Qing'an while replying.
Now that the herbs have been delivered, Fei Wan seems to have no reason to stay.
Fei Wan stood up to say goodbye to Pei Yanzhou, but before she walked out, she paused.
She looked back and found Pei Yanzhou looking at her.
Seeing her turn around, there seemed to be some surprise in her beautiful eyes.
Fei Wan didn't hide the smile on his lips at all: "Your Highness...can I come to see you again in the future?"
This request might be a bit strange. After all, everyone in the palace stayed away from Pei Yanzhou. Their identities were sensitive, and they had no status to rely on.
"Why?"
Pei Yanzhou really asked, and Fei Wan was probably the first person to approach him actively.
Fei Wan's eyes curved, but her words were straightforward: "Because you are beautiful."
Without waiting for his consent, Fei Wan continued: "I saved you, you can't refuse me."
Fei Wan didn't care how abrupt his words were. Xi Ruo beside him started stamping her feet and yelling at the princess to be careful with her words, but Fei Wan turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Xi Ruo could only chase after him.
Fei Wan's words not only shocked Xi Ruo, but even Qing An couldn't help but say.
"This... Princess Zhaoning is a bit too straightforward. Your Highness, please don't take these words to heart."
Pei Yanzhou looked at the girl's departing back. He was not angry at being "teased". Although there was a look of surprise in his eyes, it faded away and was stained with a faint smile.
He hummed softly, went back to the house and saw the herbs that had been delivered.
Qing An said beside him, "Although Princess Zhaoning's words were a bit offensive, she is a kind person. She sent so many medicinal herbs. I will cook them right away."
Pei Yanzhou lowered his eyes, but curled his lips slightly: "Is she really Zhao Ning?"
Qing'an didn't understand what this meant, he stared at Pei Yanzhou blankly.
Pei Yanzhou picked up a few kinds of medicinal herbs and handed them to Qing'an, chuckling: "Go and boil the medicine."
After Qing'an left, Pei Yanzhou looked at the finely chopped herbs lying in the palm of his hand, squeezed them gently, the smile in his eyes grew deeper, and a hint of interest flashed across his eyes.
After five years, could a person really change so much?
