After Chu Qianli saw Feng Yexuan back, she felt there was nothing more for her to do here.
After instructing Qingming to give the Prince his medicine later, she stretched and immediately wanted to return to her chambers to rest.
But as soon as she took a step, before her fingers could even touch the door.
From the inner room of her chambers, the man's deep, displeased voice came through the screen: "Still not coming over to serve?"
Chu Qianli was slightly stunned, her hand that was about to open the door stopped.
Come over and serve?
Was that directed at her?
It shouldn't be, right?
He had always disliked her. Previously, he was sick and needed her treatment, forcing him to accept her closeness.
Now that he was recovered, he naturally wanted to stay far away from her.
Qingming was also in the room, so this... well, it must have been said to Qingming.
Thinking this, Chu Qianli's paused hand fell back onto the door handle, and she gently pulled the door open.
No matter who he was calling, she was leaving first!
Having been tired for so long, she really wanted to go back, take a good bath, and then eat some spicy hot pot!
Feng Yexuan was almost amused to death by her.
This woman, was she doing it on purpose?
His eyes darkened, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
Qingming, observing the situation, immediately shifted his position.
Just as Chu Qianli took her first step towards the door, Qingming was already beside her.
"Princess Consort, His Highness orders you to come over and serve."
"He's calling you..."
Before he could finish, Chu Qianli was dumbfounded.
With a bang, Qingming actually stepped out of the chambers.
In front of her, he closed the door and even locked it with a click?
Was he afraid she would slip away?
So, suddenly, it was just her and Feng Yexuan alone in the chambers... a man and a woman?
Even though it was daytime, it felt a bit strange.
"Um..." She turned back, looking at the tall figure sitting on the bed through the screen.
Serve?
She hadn't learned anything about this. Did it mean post-illness care?
Chu Qianli looked at Feng Yexuan, and Feng Yexuan was also looking at her through the screen.
Seeing her standing blankly by the door, looking helpless, Feng Yexuan reflected.
Had his attitude towards her been too harsh?
Now that her wish had come true and she was finally allowed to stay in his room, she didn't know what to do?
Thinking about how she had risked her life to save him, even disregarding her own safety—that's what Qingming had said.
Feng Yexuan's cold, hard heart softened slightly.
"I'll come to you," Feng Yexuan said, standing up and walking out through a hidden passage beside the chambers.
Chu Qianli thought about it. For now, she would follow his lead.
The patient comes first.
She gave up on the door that Qingming had closed, turned towards the inner room, and followed him.
Behind Prince Xuan's chambers, after winding through two internal corridors, there was a spacious bathing room.
Inside, there was a hot spring pool.
Feng Yexuan was standing by the hot spring.
This was the first time a woman had been allowed into this place.
For Feng Yexuan, it was indeed a bit unaccustomed.
However, considering that this woman had risked her life for him.
Feng Yexuan decided to start getting used to her presence from now on.
Chu Qianli stood not far behind him, unsure of what she was supposed to do.
He was already better, just not fully recovered in his vitality.
After a few days of rest, she would be fully healed.
In truth, there wasn't much for her to do.
At this moment, Feng Yexuan spoke calmly, "Before, I had some misunderstandings about you."
"?" Chu Qianli looked at him.
She didn't understand what he meant.
Was Prince Xuan repenting to her?
"I've decided to give you the opportunity to serve me from now on," he announced dominantly!
Just as Chu Qianli thought it was necessary to say something, he suddenly raised his hand and took off his outer robe.
"Bathe and change for me."
