However, no one, not even Bai Xiangxiu, expected her to be unconscious for two days.
When she woke up, she was still wondering when she had become so weak that she couldn't take such a small blow.
Wasn't it just a confession that was rejected? Wouldn't it be over if she ate and drank more?
As a modern woman, who hasn't fallen out of love?
She calmed down the surging emotions in her heart. She took the medicine that Shika handed her and sadly finished it. When she looked up, she discovered that the male lead was still sitting on the chair in her room. His hair was casually scattered, and he was only wearing an undershirt …
Was he teasing her?
She spat out the medicine that she hadn't swallowed and coughed violently.
She coughed until tears and medicine came out. The other party only frowned but didn't move. He said, "What are you looking at? Water." After he finished speaking, Xiao Shi hurriedly brought the water over.
Bai Xiangxiu drank it in one gulp. She felt as if she had been revived.
She took the handkerchief from Xiao Shi and wiped her face. Then, she awkwardly gathered her clothes and said, "Your … Prince." She was about to get off the bed to greet him.
"Forget it. You just woke up. There's no need to trouble yourself."
Long Heng didn't expect that he would scare her to this extent. He waited for her to calm down before he dared to move. He walked to her bed and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Bai Xiangxiu couldn't get used to it. Long Heng, who was wearing casual clothes and with his hair down, looked a little devilish. His peach blossom eyes squinted, and he didn't seem as cold as before.
However, did this mean that he planned to rest in Winter Garden while she was unconscious?
How was that possible? But it was the truth.
He actually said, "Since you're awake, eat something. Aren't you going to prepare food?"
Xiao Shi hurriedly went out to call the servants. Bai Xiangxiu also woke up from her shock. She trembled as she said, "Your … Prince, you … didn't eat?"
"Not yet. Mother was worried that you would be tired, so she asked me to stay behind and look after you. If anything happened, I could go find the imperial physician." Did he mean that he really stayed here for a night?
Bai Xiangxiu knew that Winter Garden was not big, and the only room that could be occupied was the one next to hers.
The bed wasn't big. How could a big guy like him sleep in it?
But at the same time, he thought that the old madam was concerned about him. Should he build a good relationship with her? When the time came, as long as he didn't court death, he could persevere until next year. Perhaps, he could go back next year.
But now, it seemed that he had to deal with this person in front of him first.
Actually, this Prince didn't seem too bad. He wasn't particularly cold to her.
Perhaps he would be a good backer?
However, her identity was special. If you wanted to hug this man's thigh, you would have to sleep with him or something.
As a girl with normal values, she always felt that one had to first fall in love and then get married. If one fell in love first and then got married after falling in love, it would be unacceptable.
Besides, she had just fallen out of love. It was impossible for her to accept another man immediately.
That's right. Even though she was seducing the supporting male lead, which gentle and beautiful man wouldn't be moved by her? Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to seduce him.
No matter if it was in the book or the first time they met, Bai Xiangxiu had a good impression of Song Jiaoyue. Now, she was rejected.
The desserts that he gave her clearly told her that she had the heart, but he didn't. It was impossible for the two of them to be together.
Since it was impossible, she wouldn't force it. However, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
She should have thought about this incredible relationship after waking up, but Li Of Gojoseon interfered and she didn't have time to think about it.
When they ate, the two of them were separated. She was on the bed while he was at the table.
The food was placed on the small table in front of her from the table, but she was still not far from Long Heng.
The two of them could see each other's expressions. Although they didn't speak, the atmosphere was very strange.
She didn't know why, but Bai Xiangxiu felt that she was being peeped at.
However, when she raised her head, she found that he was eating obediently. Was it her imagination? No, was it because she felt good about herself?
What kind of person was Li Of Gojoseon? He didn't have any interest in a beauty like her. He liked bold, meticulous, and innocent girls like the female lead.
"He's sweating. This man is sweating. The air isn't good …" Huo Er suddenly said. It seemed that he didn't like the smell of other people's sweat.
Bai Xiangxiu almost choked and coughed again. The temperature in the room wasn't very high, so why was Prince sweating?
She stole a glance at him and found that his cheeks were indeed a little red. However, there was no sign of sweat.
Thinking that Huo Er might be talking nonsense, she couldn't help but glare at it.
However, Huo Er insisted, "He's sweating. His heart is beating fast. Huo Er can feel it …"
Because Long Heng was sitting under the bed, not far from Huo Er, it was normal that it could feel it.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't care too much. It was normal for men to sweat. Maybe it was because of spicy food.
There were spicy dishes on the table, but they didn't look very spicy. Was Long Heng not used to spicy food? Or was he sensitive to spicy food?
She made a mental note and decided to use it to please this superior in the future. She didn't want to make things difficult for herself.
However, she didn't know that Long Heng wasn't eating spicy food. He was sweating nervously. The back of his shirt was almost soaked.
The woman on the bed opposite him had her shirt open. The strap of her green bellyband was clearly exposed.
Her skin was as white as jade and her eyes drifted to him from time to time. These were enough to make him feel hot and unable to eat calmly.
He was calm when she was unconscious. However, he was different when she opened her eyes.
He felt that he couldn't sit here for long, let alone sleep in the outer room. Therefore, he changed his clothes and went back after eating.
He took a bath first and calmed down a little.
Then he was worried about Bai Xiangxiu's health. He ordered a doctor to check on her again.
When he came back and found that she was fine, he was relieved.
After that, he would go to find her. However, he didn't know why he felt that he couldn't stay calm around her.
He had no choice but to leave after sitting for a while. However, he would want to go again in less than an hour.
This special feeling made him very uncomfortable. He had to pick up an arrow and ask Song Jiaoyue to go hunting. He wanted to hide for a few days.
Bai Xiangxiu's body had more or less recovered, so she took Xiao Shi to the old madame's residence.
Old Madame asked about her condition. Then, she gave her three maidservants she personally selected. One was called Baoyue, one was called Baoqin, and the last one was called Baoyu.
They were not young anymore. They were personally trained by Old Madame. She wanted them to help her take care of things in the mansion in the future.
At the same time, she could see that her son cared about her. She was afraid that he would sleep in the same room as her for a few days.
However, it seemed that he cared about her injuries. He was afraid that she couldn't bear it.
As a mother, she knew her son very well. Even if he cared about her, he wouldn't do anything to other concubines for the time being. Therefore, she could only count on her.
Therefore, Old Madame asked about her injuries that day.
Then, she found a nanny who knew medicine to examine her in the room. She said that she was recovering well. The wound had already healed. She was afraid that there would be some scars, but it wouldn't be too ugly.
