There was another sigh, this one full of helplessness and heartache.
"Seeing you injured, my heart still hurts. A woman like you is not worthy of my heartache for you. But, I have fallen in love with you, and I may never forget her in this life."
His voice sounded so sad. Even with her eyes closed, Xiaoxiao could imagine that his eyes and expression must have looked very sad.
"Don't worry, you won't stay here for too long. I will find a way to let you leave."
There was something warm and soft on the back of her hand, and his lips kissed the back of her hand gently.
Then, she felt his gentle breath blowing on her face, and she was secretly surprised that her lips had been kissed by him.
Before the surprise was over, his lips left.
Just a kiss, like a dragonfly, made Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly hurt, and a sour and astringent feeling arose in her heart.
The hand was put down, and his warm palm caressed her face again, and then she let out another soft sigh.
The footsteps sounded again, they were pushed away, and then closed gently.
Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, looked at the black shadow printed on the window paper, and a hot tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Not long after Xuanyuan Che left, someone else came in.
This time, it was a decent-looking little girl who said she was sent by the Queen to take care of her.
"My child, is the child still there?"
Xiaoxiao grabbed the little maid's hand and asked excitedly.
The little maid was startled. Seeing the anxious look on Xiaoxiao's face, she hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, it's okay, the prince is still here..."
After listening to her words, Xiaoxiao finally let go of her worries, "Pour me some water, I'm so thirsty."
The little maid poured some water for him. Xiaoxiao took the water and drank two sips. The little maid brought another bowl of porridge and fed her half a bowl. Xiaoxiao lay back down again.
During the three days that Xiaoxiao lay in bed, the imperial doctor came to diagnose her twice and bandaged the wound on her leg. After three days, she was finally able to get out of bed.
