The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Just as the Princess of Yan and General Li Zheng were staying in the guest room discussing how to rescue Shi Weian from the prison, a secret letter was silently delivered to the Prince's Mansion.

At that time, Xie Xi patiently fed Lu Xiaoxiao the medicine.

The medicine was bitter and tasted strange. Lu Xiaoxiao only took a sip and couldn't help wanting to spit it out. She raised her hand to cover her lips, opened her wet almond eyes, raised her little face slightly, and looked at Xie Xi pitifully: "Your Highness, can I drink it later? This medicine is really too bitter!"

Originally, she wanted to eat some candied fruit to sweeten her mouth, but Master Lingyou said that candied fruit should not be taken with medicine, for fear that it would dilute the medicinal properties.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Bai Zhi to kick Master Ling You out without saying a word. He was not allowed to watch them. Now she was even forbidden to eat candied fruit.

But, after driving away Young Master Lingyou, a new Crown Prince came.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on feeding the medicine himself. Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears and she could only obey with tears in her eyes.

“Is it really bitter?”

Xie Xi was suspicious.

Since he was infected with the cold poison, Xie Xi has been drinking medicine to suppress the cold poison. Later, Ling You made pills and he stopped taking medicine.

"bitter."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, You can also have a taste."

[I am beginning to suspect that Master Lingyou deliberately put a lot of coptis in the medicine, otherwise, why would this medicine be so bitter!? It is simply fatal!]

[I wonder if His Highness will really try it? ]

[I'm afraid it will be so bitter that His Highness will vomit on the spot, right? 】

Xie Xi: ...He has tasted all kinds of bitter medicines, so how could he be afraid of this one?

Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance, Xie Xi pursed his lips, his expression softened, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Since Xiaoxiao wants me to have a taste, then I will have a taste."

After saying that, he really lowered his head, took a sip of the medicine, and swallowed it without changing his expression.

The faint bitterness melts in the mouth, and there is a hint of coolness.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, was stunned and said in shock: "You you you——"

"You really drank it!?"

[However, Your Highness, why don’t you feel bitter? ]

Xie Xi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he stared at her face with burning eyes: "Well, it's not very bitter."

As he spoke, he noticed a little medicine stain on the corner of her lips. Xie Xi took out a handkerchief, moved closer, and gently wiped the corner of her lips, "Xiaoxiao, drink the medicine quickly, then you won't feel the bitterness."

"Although Lingyou doesn't allow you to eat candied fruit, I can have someone bring some osmanthus cakes over."

"Um……"

Feeling that His Highness's actions were too gentle, as if every glance of his could fall on the tip of her heart, Lu Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt her heartbeat quicken a little.

A strange feeling suddenly stirred in her heart.

Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, and her bright eyes met his gaze directly. The tenderness hidden in her eyes made people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her head with a tangled expression. She coughed lightly and lowered her voice, "Your Highness, after I finish drinking the medicine, can you answer a question for me?"

[It’s over, wuwuwu, Your Highness is really too good, he touches my heart again and again, I feel like I have the urge to immerse myself in it...]

【But it’s not possible. 】

[He is the Crown Prince, not an ordinary person. He may not be able to give me what I want.]

[Forget it, forget it. I won’t ask anymore.]

Xie Xi was immediately upset when he heard Lu Xiaoxin's voice.

He had an inexplicable feeling that the question Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask must be very important. If he didn't let her say it, he would definitely regret it later.

Xie Xi suddenly held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, if you have anything you want to ask me, you can tell me."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated.

In fact, she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that the answer she heard would not be the one she wanted to hear.

Xie Xi sighed softly: "Drink the medicine first."

"it is good."

Don’t worry about it for now, just take the medicine.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, I'll drink it myself."

Xie Xi carefully placed the bowl in her hands.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at him. After calming herself down, she picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

bitter.

It’s really bitter!

Lu Xiaoxiao frowned, her expression somewhat painful: "This is the most unpalatable medicine I have ever drunk!"

[I really should ask Master Lingyou to look at the prescription to see if Coptis chinensis is on it! ]

Xie Xi laughed helplessly. Suddenly, he took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve. Under Lu Xiaoxiao's surprised gaze, he slowly opened the oil-paper bag.

They are a few pieces of exquisite osmanthus cakes.

As soon as I opened it, the fragrance of osmanthus wafted out.

Xie Xi picked up the smallest piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth. He smiled and said, "Try it."

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at him in a daze, lowered her head subconsciously, and took a small bite of the osmanthus cake from his hand.

The sweet osmanthus cake melted in my mouth instantly, seeming to cover up the bitterness of the medicine in an instant.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she said, "Your Highness, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious! But is it made in the kitchen of the mansion?"

"No."

Xie Xi: "It's run by an old lady I know. Her stall is quite remote, so only old customers come there."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "So that's how it is."

After eating a small piece of osmanthus cake, Lu Xiaoxiao still wanted to eat more, so she kept staring at the oil paper bag in Xie Xi's hand, and occasionally raised her eyes, looking at Xie Xi eagerly.

Xie Xi couldn't help laughing because of her teasing. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then said with a smile, "I can't eat anymore."

Xie Xi wrapped the osmanthus cake again and placed it on the small table beside him.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

The most painful thing in life is to have delicious food in front of you, but just after you take a bite, the food suddenly runs away.

Lu Xiaoxiao wilted instantly.

Xie Xi raised his hand and rubbed her head, whispering to her, "When your injury is healed, you can eat as much as you want. I will buy it for you."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "...Okay then."

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao had been comforted, Xie Xi asked again: "I wonder what Xiaoxiao wanted to ask me just now?"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect His Highness to bring it up first. She was stunned and found it difficult to ask: "I..."

"Ok?"

Xie Xi looked at her tenderly, as if he really gave her courage: "So I really want to ask?"

Xie Xi pinched her cheek helplessly, "I would like to hear what you said that is so difficult for you to say."

Unable to hear Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice for a moment, Xie Xi couldn't guess what she wanted to know.

"Well, that is, Your Highness, what do you think of the Concubine?"

[Although I can see that the Concubine doesn't seem to have any feelings for Your Highness, I don't know how Your Highness feels about the Concubine...]

Shouldn't she have asked?

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so nice, and they have been together for so long, how could she not be moved?

After all, she overestimated her own heart.

It turned out that what Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask was the relationship between herself and Xiao Shuyi?

Not knowing what he suddenly thought of, Xie Xi curled the corners of his lips, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. He held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, wanting to tell her everything.

These things are actually not a secret.

If Lu Xiaoxiao had asked one more question in the mansion, she would not have had such doubts.

Xie Xi explained in a serious tone, "In fact, I and Xiao Shuyi are only in name only. Xiao Shuyi has no interest in me. She entered the prince's mansion and became the prince's concubine because the Xiao family wanted to find a backer."

"And I just don't want my father and mother to continue to trouble my marriage."

"As for Zhang Baozhu, she was chosen by my mother. I just gave her a courtyard to support her. Besides, she has already had an affair with my fourth brother, so I will naturally not let her get close to me."

Once he has a concubine, his father and mother will no longer urge him to choose a crown princess.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to take them to heart."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

[So soon, Concubine Xiao doesn't like Your Highness, and Your Highness doesn't like Concubine Xiao either? ]

[However, when did Your Highness know that Zhang Baozhu and the Fourth Prince had an affair? ]

[Since Your Highness already knows that Zhang Baozhu only has the Fourth Prince in her heart, why would Your Highness let Zhang Baozhu enter the palace? As long as Your Highness mentions it in front of the Queen, the Queen will definitely not let Zhang Baozhu enter the palace! ]

Xie Xi was silent. At that time, he had no idea what was going on between Zhang Baozhu and the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince hid too deeply.

Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and stared at Xie Xi nervously: "Your Highness, are you really not interested in the concubine?"

"real."

Xie Xi sighed inaudibly, and suddenly reached out his hand to hold Lu Xiaoxiao in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you understand my feelings?"

After this assassination attempt, during the two days when Lu Xiaoxiao fell into a coma, Xie Xi also figured it out. He liked Lu Xiaoxiao and didn't want to see her get hurt for him again...

If you like her, you should tell her clearly.

Xie Xi still remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao's love for him had always been hidden in her heart.

He could say what she didn't dare to say.

"W-What do you mean?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard by being hugged tightly, and her whole body suddenly stiffened. Her porcelain-white cheeks were faintly flushed, and even her earlobes were stained red.

The heartbeat was like thunder, pounding, as if it was ringing in her ears, making Lu Xiaoxiao unable to tell whether it was his heartbeat or her heartbeat.

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt at a loss.

Xie Xi sensed her discomfort, and after thinking about it, he finally let her go.

He lowered his head, and when his gentle and affectionate eyes caught a glimpse of her blushing little face, Xie Xi suddenly smiled.

"Lu Xiaoxiao, I like you."

He did not call himself "Gu", but "I".

He was not telling her that he loved her in the capacity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xie Xi was only telling her that he, Xie Xi, liked her, Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Xiaoxiao understood.

Her eyes were depicting his outline very seriously. Suddenly, she saw Lu Xiaoxiao quickly turn sideways and gently touch the corner of his lips, with a smile on her face: "Xie Xi, I like you too."

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

Xie Xi: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao shyly turned away her gaze and tried hard to pull the quilt to wrap herself up, leaving only a pair of round almond-shaped eyes exposed.

"Your Highness, I should be here to see you."

Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's current appearance, it was so adorable that Xie Xi's smile deepened, and he reminded her gently: "Have a good rest. If you feel sleepy, take a nap first. I will go out and deal with it first."

Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, the heat on her cheeks lingered, she was still a little shy, "Okay, go ahead."

Xie Xi got up and left.

[Did I forget to mention to His Highness that if His Highness really likes me, there can’t be anyone else! ]

Xie Xi paused slightly and suddenly turned around.

He raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaoxiao, and seeing the shock on her little face, Xie Xi pursed his lips, strode back to the edge of the bed, and stood in front of Lu Xiaoxiao.

Meeting her slightly confused gaze, Xie Xi pursed his lips, his eyes full of joyful smile.

He looked serious, and placed his bony fingers on his chest, and spoke word by word, "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. You are the only one here."

"Okay, I remember."

For some reason, Lu Xiaoxiao had an inexplicable urge to cry.

Crying with joy.

……

When Xie Xi came out of the room, another half hour had passed.

Mu Qing stood in the yard, and Ling You sat in the pavilion, concentrating on thinking about various prescriptions.

"Master, there is a letter from Luoyang Inn."

Without waiting for his master to come closer, Mu Qing quickly stepped forward, took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it to his master.

Hearing this, Ling You didn't even care about the prescription, and rushed to the side of Xie Xi and Mu Qing. "What letter? Let me see it too?"

Mu Qing was silent.

Xie Xi turned his eyes to glance at Ling You and said in a calm tone, "Why are you suddenly interested in this letter?"

Ling You shrugged and said with a smile: "I just want to watch the fun, is that okay?"

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

After opening the letter, Xie Xi read ten lines at a glance and instantly memorized what was written in the letter.

Ling You took the opportunity to take a quick look. After reading it quickly, he immediately took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "I never expected that the Princess of Yan State is so courageous. How long has it been since they came to the capital? They can't wait any longer?"

"Unfortunately, the prison in the capital is not so easy to break into."

Ling You said with disdain.

Did he even dream of leading people to break into the prison in Beijing at night and rescue the prince consort?

I'm just afraid that they will never come back.

Ling You sighed and couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune: "Looks like there will be a big show tonight."

Xie Xi: "Father has not seen the envoy from Yan State for a long time, and the Princess of Yan State is anxious to rescue Shi Wei'an, so she can only go to the prison to rescue him."

"However, they don't know that Shi Weian is not in prison at all."

What he could guess, his father could naturally guess early on.

The Princess of Yan came for Shi Weian, so my father would definitely not let them take Shi Weian back to Yan easily, unless Yan paid a huge sum of money to redeem him.

Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything.

My father has not been meeting with the envoys from the State of Yan in order to test where their bottom line is.

I just don't know what the Princess of Yan will do next...
