Mu Zhi nodded and slowly sat up.

At this moment, the tip of her nose suddenly trembled slightly, and a familiar cold fragrance of pine wood quietly entered her nose.

Mu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly stiffened.

Seeing this, the magpie on the side asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Zhi composed herself and said, "Magpie, have you ever smelled anything special?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhi couldn't help but wiggle her nose in the air a few more times, and the direction she was facing happened to be where Xuan Ming was standing just now.

Xuan Ming silently watched Mu Zhi's every move and the direction she was facing, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.

When Magpie heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, obviously he didn't understand why his young lady asked such a question.

She looked around in confusion, sniffed hard, then shook her head and replied: "No, I didn't smell any strange smell. Miss, is there anything wrong?"

Mu Zhi frowned and moved slightly closer to the position, trying to catch the familiar cold fragrance that seemed to be absent.

However, this fragrance seems to hide and seek, appearing and disappearing, making it elusive.

Really familiar.

It's like... it's like that one is standing right here.

"Smell it again, is it really not there?" Mu Zhi excitedly pulled the magpie toward where Xuan Ming was standing just now and asked her to smell it.

The magpie sniffed hard, inhaling so hard that he sneezed hard.

"Miss, it really doesn't smell like anything. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Magpie didn't understand what his lady was excited about.

Xuan Ming's body on the beam was stiff. Looking at the excited Mu Zhi below, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Can she smell herself?

Xuan Ming felt an indescribable feeling in his heart at this moment. He gently raised his arm and smelled his sleeves, but he didn't smell anything.

"What's wrong, miss?" Magpie asked again worriedly.

Mu Zhi ignored the magpie. She struggled and looked around, her disappointment visible to the naked eye.

Then she laughed sadly to herself, she really was overthinking.

How could he appear here.

Mu Zhi's heart became cold again.

Magpie saw that the young lady's face had been looking bad since she sat up, and it was even worse now. She was anxious and asked with concern, "Why does your face look so bad? I'll go ask the master right now."

After Magpie finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Mu Zhi called her to stop her.

Mu Zhi shook her head, "I'm fine. Maybe I just woke up and haven't recovered yet."

She still held a trace of expectation in her heart, "Has anyone been here since I fell asleep? Or has anyone visited the house?"

Magpie shook his head.

Mu Zhi leaned back gently, and Magpie immediately stepped forward and put a pillow on it to make Mu Zhi feel more comfortable.

"Miss, you'd better drink the medicine first, right? Otherwise it won't be good when the medicine cools down later." Magpie said, turning around and bringing the medicine over.

However, Mu Zhi didn't even look at it. She just shook her head gently and said, "If you don't want to drink it, just take it down."

Seeing this scene, Magpie couldn't help but became anxious and quickly advised: "Miss, good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. How can you get better quickly if you don't drink the medicine? Even if you only take a small sip, it's good."

However, Mu Zhi still said firmly: "I have been drinking medicine for these years, and I don't care about a day or two. Now I just want to be alone for a while, Magpie, you go out first."

Magpie reluctantly put down the medicine bowl and still said with concern: "But I also brought hot water over. The temperature is just right now. You can use a wet cloth to apply to the lady's eyes."

However, Mu Zhi still shook her head and refused: "It's really not necessary. Have a good sleep and you will naturally feel better tomorrow morning."

Still, the magpie refused to give up.

He continued to persuade: "Miss, please don't hold on any longer. Look at your eyes, they are already so red. Even hot compresses may not be able to completely eliminate the redness and swelling. If the master sees it tomorrow morning, he will definitely think that you are carrying something wrong." He is crying alone again, how worried he must be."

Hearing this, Mu Zhi's expression moved slightly, as if she was a little moved.

However, when she recalled the familiar smell on the tip of her nose just now, her heart suddenly became confused and numb.

The original thought of compromise disappeared instantly, replaced by an indescribable complex emotion.

Finally, Mu Zhi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said to Magpie: "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor problem, don't worry too much." After that, she closed her eyes.

"I'll wait for myself, Magpie, I want to be quiet." The voice was a little deep.

Magpie knew that his lady was unhappy, so she didn't dare to say anything at the moment. She left with worry and closed the door.

Mu Zhi just stared at the position where Xuan Ming had touched it just now, in a daze.

Xuan Ming looked at Mu Zhi below, leaning on the bed, as if she was in trance, and didn't know what she was thinking.

He glanced at the medicine on the small table beside the bed and the basin on the shelf on the other side, with a hint of contemplation in his gentle eyes.

Xuan Ming pressed his irritable heart and sighed softly.

Mu Zhi seemed to be immersed in her own world and did not hear Xuan Ming's deliberate sigh.

Xuan Ming took a deep look at Mu Zhi, then fell lightly from the beam to in front of Mu Zhi.

The light in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked by a tall figure. Mu Zhi came back to her senses and looked towards the figure.

"temple......"

"Shh!"

Xuan Ming reacted quickly, taking action like lightning, covering the words Mu Zhi was about to blurt out.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and both of them stood blankly on the spot.

Xuan Ming felt the soft lips under his palms, and a warm breath brushed through his palms, as if an electric current went straight to the bottom of his heart.

This strange feeling made Xuan Ming involuntarily want to let go.

But he was afraid of causing Mu Zhi's resentment, so he could only maintain this action with some embarrassment.

Mu Zhi, whose mouth was covered, had no idea that Xuan Ming would do such a thing.

Her eyes widened with shock on her face.

When she realized that Xuan Ming's hand was on her lips, a blush instantly climbed onto her cheeks and extended to her ears.

After all, this was the first time they had such intimate contact in more than ten years of knowing each other.

At this moment, Mu Zhi's heart was like a deer bumping around, shyness and confusion intertwined.

Just now...he actually touched me?

Xuan Ming also noticed the strange atmosphere, and quickly put his hands behind his back, clenching his fists nervously.

He muttered secretly: How could he be so soft...

At the same time, there was an imperceptible blush on his face.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

Mu Zhi quickly changed the topic and asked quietly.

Xuan Ming's face changed slightly, looking a little unnatural.

He quickly shifted his gaze and happened to catch a glimpse of the bowl of medicine on the table.

"Drink the medicine first."

He said softly, then walked to the small low table and picked up the bowl.
