With a "squeak", the door opened, and Xuanhe walked in carrying a tray, with a sweet smile on her face. She walked to the bed and said to Xue'er: "Miss, it's time to take medicine."
"Yes!" Xue'er took the medicine bowl, looked at Xuan He and asked, "Where is Xiao Ju?"
Normally, Xiaoju would bring her medicine at this time. Why didn't she see her today?
"There is a shortage of manpower recently. Xiaoju is busy in the kitchen. From now on, Xiaoyan will take care of the young lady's meals," Xuanhe replied respectfully,
"Oh, that's it!" Xue'er frowned slightly as she looked at the dark concoction.
"Miss, the medicine is almost cold. Drink it while it's still hot," Xuanhe urged, staring closely at her bowl.
"Yeah!" Xue'er nodded.
Although she didn't like taking medicine, for the sake of the child in her belly, Xueer still picked up the bowl, blew lightly, and drank it slowly.
The bitter concoction passed through her throat, and Xueer's brows furrowed even more.
Xuan He kept staring at her throat, a strange smile appeared on her lips
After finishing the medicine, Xueer wiped the corners of her mouth and said with a wrinkled face like a bitter melon: "This medicine is really terrible to drink!"
Xuanhe smiled and said: "Then Xiaoyan will prepare an extra dessert for the lady tomorrow."
After hearing this, Xueer's eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be so attentive, Xiaoyan!"
"See you, Your Majesty..." A servant's voice came from outside the door.
The prince is here! Xuanhe took the bowl from Xueer's hand and said hurriedly: "Miss, the prince is here, please leave first."
"Okay." The smile on Xue'er's face became even sweeter.
At this time, Murong Lie strode in from outside the door. With his eager eyes, he wished to see Xueer immediately.
Xuan He, who happened to be walking to the door, passed by Murong Lie. Seeing his handsome profile, Xuan He's heart skipped a beat. She opened her mouth to say hello to him, but found that he didn't even look at her.
