Chapter 1312 Listen to Her and Do as You're Told
Chu Qianli didn't know what was wrong with her, but under his softened tone, her heart also softened, and she agreed to let him stay and help.
"You must wear your mask properly. The place I'm bandaging for you cannot be uncovered. You absolutely cannot let the wound come into direct contact with the air here."
He might not understand what "air" meant.
She had to change her wording: "In short, the wound cannot be exposed."
"...Okay." So, listening to her wasn't such an unbearable thing after all.
Even, Feng Yexuan suddenly felt that following her arrangements and doing things seemed... quite pleasant.
It was only that his body was still heavy, and his consciousness would occasionally drift for a moment, forgetting where he was.
"Your condition isn't good right now, so you're not suitable for preparing medicine. Go and start a fire with them to cook porridge. The patients will need to eat it when they wake up tomorrow."
"Princess, you... you're asking our Prince to start a fire and cook?" Jing Ri immediately disagreed.
Ever since he started following the Prince more than ten years ago, when had he ever seen the Prince do such a thing?
Start a fire? How would the Prince know how?
"You're afraid he doesn't know?"
"This Prince knows." Feng Yexuan immediately walked towards the few stoves not far away.
Everyone was busy, and he didn't want to be useless.
If he could handle something as complex as arranging troops and formations, could he not manage a few stoves?
"But..." Seeing the Prince squatting in front of the stove, learning to start a fire with the people beside him, Jing Ri's face was still full of worry.
"Princess, Princess, our Prince he... he..." The Prince seems a bit off, can't the Princess see it?
He had seen the Prince's steps as he walked over earlier, they were light and weak, completely different from his usual gait.
"Princess, do you want to check if the Prince has really fallen ill?"
Jing Ri didn't dare to say "check if the Prince has been infected," but he was truly panicked.
Chu Qianli glanced at Feng Yexuan's back.
As he walked over earlier, he had lost his usual cold arrogance, and instead showed a bit of confusion.
Yes, a confused look.
That was why she hadn't let him do the work of picking herbs.
Starting a fire, and preparing food for the patients, even if he was infected, it wouldn't matter.
"I can tell," she said lightly.
Jing Ri was stunned: "Then... then you still let the Prince work..."
"Didn't you see he was even more resistant to going back to his room?"
To avoid going back, he had even used a pleading tone with her, whom he usually disliked!
How unwilling was he to go back?
"Although I don't know what happened in his room that made him so resistant, if you make him go back now, he definitely won't listen."
"Instead of letting him run around, potentially getting infected or infecting others, it's better to let him do something under my watch."
Jing Ri thought about it and couldn't refute her.
The lady didn't know that in the Prince's room, there was Feng Ling, someone... Feng Ling who wanted to throw herself into the Prince's arms.
That was why the Prince was unwilling to go back.
However, this matter couldn't be revealed to Chu Qianli. After all, they were once husband and wife.
If Miss Chu knew, she would be angry and would ignore their Prince, right?
"Then... then I'll go help start the fire and cook too..."
"Don't get too close to him. I'm also worried that he might have really been infected."
Jing Ri was sweating profusely: "Then..."
Chu Qianli waved her hand: "Let's see if he develops a fever tonight."
