Feng Yexuan hadn't thought too much.
He just wanted to ensure no accidents happened and that she finished the entire bowl of porridge.
Preferably, another bowl.
The doctor had said she was too weak now and needed to eat more and rest more.
But after one bowl of porridge, Chu Qianli was full.
"Want more?" he asked.
Chu Qianli shook her head.
"Want some snacks?" Feng Yexuan was persistent.
She still shook her head.
"What else do you want to eat?" Just one bowl of porridge, such a small appetite, when would she recover?
Even Qing Ming, listening from outside the door, found it unbelievable.
When had the Prince's temper become so good?
Chu Qianli kept shaking her head, "I'm full."
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Feng Yexuan put down the bowl and stared at her, "Sleep for a while."
"I can't sleep."
"Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?" If you don't eat, drink, or sleep, how can your injuries heal?
Chu Qianli looked at him.
This man's temper was indeed not good.
However, his patience today was quite considerable.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes, he clearly hadn't slept well last night.
Even a fine layer of stubble had appeared. Compared to his usual cold and stern self, he inexplicably had a more approachable aura.
For the first time, she realized that Prince Xuan could also be gentle.
She suddenly asked, "Aren't you angry?"
With his intelligence, how could he not know that she had intended to escape last night?
"When you're better, I'll punish you!"
But now, she looked so frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
So weak, if punished again, could this little life even be saved?
Chu Qianli almost wanted to laugh.
Did this mean that her escape attempt this time would be overlooked due to her severe injuries?
It was truly rare.
"I want to go out for a walk." Her request seemed to be getting a bit much.
Feng Yexuan's expression immediately soured. "Injured people should lie in bed and rest."
"Lying down for too long makes one unhappy, and if one is unhappy, the body won't recover."
Before he could retort, she preempted him, "I am a doctor. You should listen to me about recovery methods."
Feng Yexuan glanced at her.
What was rare was that although his gaze lacked warmth today, it wasn't as frightening as usual.
Finally, Feng Yexuan nodded.
Indeed, he was much more agreeable today than usual.
She never realized that being injured had such benefits before?
Chu Qianli seemed to be in a good mood and immediately tried to lift the quilt.
Unexpectedly, the movement pulled at her shoulder blade, and her joy turned to sorrow. The pain almost brought tears to her eyes.
Feng Yexuan sighed silently.
As expected, her injuries were too severe. Otherwise, given her personality, why would she be so quiet?
With a casual wave of his hand, he pulled the quilt off her.
"I have no strength," Chu Qianli said softly as she tried to get out of bed.
"Don't expect me to help you!" Feng Yexuan snorted coldly.
Feeding her porridge was already giving her face!
A woman who tried to escape, failed, and was brought back, what more good treatment could she expect?
Chu Qianli didn't expect him either. She held onto the carved wooden pillar by the bed and carefully tried to get out of bed.
Who knew that her legs had absolutely no strength.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs felt weak and numb, and she slumped softly to the ground.
Feng Yexuan watched her with cold eyes.
He had said he wouldn't help, and he wouldn't. Otherwise, what would happen to his noble and aloof image?
But, seeing her about to fall to the ground, her injuries, after such a fall, who knew how much worse they would become!
His heart clenched. Before his mind could react, his arm had already reached out...
