Chu Qianli was truly injured this time.
Her meridians were damaged, and she lay in bed, still in excruciating pain the next day.
When she woke up, she saw Xi'er by her side.
They had returned to the Xuan King's manor.
"How are you feeling, Princess Consort?" Xi'er was terrified by her Princess Consort's pale complexion.
Chu Qianli moved, wanting to sit up, only to find her shoulder blades aching fiercely.
Xi'er quickly pushed her back down. "Princess Consort, your injuries have not yet healed. Don't move around, it will hurt."
Chu Qianli didn't speak, only furrowed her brows, her face even paler.
It truly hurt.
Her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a cartwheel, she didn't know which bone was broken or cracked.
In short, it was agonizingly painful.
Xi'er, with great difficulty, helped her sit up.
"Princess Consort, I'll help you wash up, and then you can eat something."
The Princess Consort used to be so energetic, but now she was incredibly weak.
This appearance was truly heartbreaking.
Xi'er helped Chu Qianli wash up, then brought the medicine and held it to her lips.
"Princess Consort, the doctor prescribed this medicine. Please drink some."
"No need, I have my own..." But Chu Qianli's expression suddenly changed. She raised her weak hand and lifted her sleeve.
"Princess Consort, what are you looking for?" Xi'er was surprised.
Chu Qianli stared at the bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet was still there, but why couldn't she sense the existence of the Taobao system?
"Cough..." Chu Qianli coughed slightly with a bit of agitation.
Her body hurt, and every cough sent pain throughout her.
Could it be that she was too weak for the Taobao system to function?
Helpless, Chu Qianli could only drink the medicine with Xi'er's assistance.
"Last night... thank you for taking care of me, but could you not sleep on top of me in the future? I couldn't breathe."
In her dazed state last night, she clearly felt someone serving her.
That person held her hand, as if channeling energy into her... Did Xi'er understand such things?
However, after the energy entered her body, the pain did subside somewhat.
It was just that the person later became too careless and actually fell asleep on top of her.
It made her feel stuffy and uncomfortable in the chest when she woke up.
Xi'er was stunned. "Princess Consort, this servant only returned this morning. I was not here last night."
She wasn't here last night?
Chu Qianli was a little slow to react.
Outside the door, two sets of footsteps could be heard.
Qing Ming's knock quickly followed. "Is the Princess Consort awake?"
Xi'er put down the medicine bowl and immediately went to open the door. "Your Highness, Lord Qing Ming, the Princess Consort is awake."
Qing Ming stood expressionlessly outside the door.
Feng Yexuan stepped across the threshold with heavy steps.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort just took her medicine and hasn't eaten yet."
Xi'er tidied up the things, unsure whether she should stay and serve.
But seeing Feng Yexuan walk to the bedside, she hesitated and finally withdrew.
Feng Yexuan was looking at Chu Qianli.
This was the first time since she married into the manor that she appeared so vulnerable.
Her face was ashen, as thin as paper!
Chu Qianli leaned against the headboard, almost lacking the strength to even look up at him.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yexuan suddenly sat down by the bed and picked up the bowl of porridge.
"Open your mouth, I'll feed you."
A stiff command, as if devoid of any emotion.
However, upon smelling the familiar scent emanating from him, Chu Qianli said hoarsely, "Last night, thank you."
Feng Yexuan paused slightly.
Accustomed to their constant bickering, her showing such a weak side was truly unsettling!
