Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

After a long while, Xiao Qingyuan suppressed his anger and spoke in a stiff tone: "Mother said you were frightened today and insisted that I come to see you. I thought you were really frightened, but it seems that you are fine! You are obviously very proud!"

Shen Wantang lay back down, closed his eyes and ignored her.

Madam Chai came in with Qi Yu and Shu Xiang: "Princess, it's time to take the medicine. Besides, you haven't had your lunch yet. How can you stay up all the time without eating? Take the medicine and eat your lunch!"

Qi Yu opened a food box, and a bowl of black medicine inside caught Xiao Qingyuan's eyes.

Looking at the food box in Shuxiang's hand, there was a bowl of porridge and a few light side dishes in it.

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Hey, Shen Wantang, you are not really scared sick, are you? And you took medicine? It's almost time for dinner, you haven't eaten lunch yet? You have been lying in bed all the time?"

It was still Shen Wantang's back of the head that answered him.

The room was silent. The smell of medicine and food blended together, making Xiao Qingyuan feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

He really didn't like the smell, but he refused to leave.

No matter how he caused trouble in the past, no matter how he wronged Shen Wantang, she was always calm and gentle. She would not get angry with him or hold a grudge. She would always help him when she had to.

But now she was too lazy to even talk to him, and she was no longer as polite to him as before.

She seemed to be getting fed up with him.

Coming to this conclusion, Xiao Qingyuan felt inexplicably upset. Did he really go too far today? Did he hurt her heart?

He hesitated for a moment, took the medicine bowl, and sat down beside the bed: "Hey, get up and drink the medicine. If you don't drink it, it will get cold, and it will be harder to drink when it's cold!"

"I heard that people will feel sleepy for no apparent reason when they are frightened, but this shouldn't be a big deal. Ask Madam Chai to call your soul back at night, and you'll be fine tomorrow!"

"You don't like to be called to the spirit? Then you can get up and drink the medicine first, and then go back to sleep, okay?"

"If you really don't want to take the medicine, why don't you get up and eat something? I'm not concerned about you. I'm just afraid that you'll get sick from hunger and your mother will blame me and scold me again."

He sat there, mumbling to himself, looking like a good husband who loved his wife. He was completely different from when he held the knife to Shen Wantang's neck.

Qin Xin and the others looked at Xiao Qingyuan with kinder eyes. They exchanged glances with each other and quietly retreated.

Xiao Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the maids had all left. This way, no one would hear him apologizing to Shen Wantang, and he would feel much better about himself.

He put down the medicine bowl and said in a very serious tone: "Shen Wantang, I am holding you hostage today because I am forced to do so. Only in this way can my father and mother let me go out."

"I didn't mean to hurt you. Don't you know that? Otherwise, your fragile skin would have been cut by my knife. I was holding back!"

"I didn't expect you to be so timid and scared like this. I thought you were very brave! If I had known this, I wouldn't have held you hostage."

"I...I'll apologize to you. Please stop being angry with me, okay? I still like you the way you were before, not holding grudges, not throwing tantrums, being generous and tolerant, and having the bearing of a royal mistress."

"Shen Wantang? Why don't you say anything? Why don't you respond to me? Shen Wantang?"

Xiao Qingyuan talked for a long time, but seeing that Shen Wantang didn't say a word, he thought she was still angry.

When he leaned closer to take a look, he found that Shen Wantang had her eyes closed and was breathing evenly. She had actually fallen asleep!

"Shen Wantang, you've gone too far!"

Xiao Qingyuan was extremely angry. He had been thinking for a long time and had spoken a lot from the bottom of his heart, but she didn't hear a single word he said!

He reached out to wake Shen Wantang up, but when his hand was about to touch her, he stopped.

No, that was not right, he couldn't wake her up.

Last time, because he believed Shen Mingxuan's slander and woke her up in the middle of the night, she took revenge on him and didn't let him sleep! Whenever he wanted to sleep, she would send her trusted maid Qin Xin to wake him up!

He didn't sleep for two days and two nights and was almost killed by her!

Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand. He looked at the bowl of medicine again, picked it up and poured it into the flowerpot. Although he didn't know why she wanted to drink the medicine because she was scared, he wouldn't let her drink it, and she wouldn't get better!

Turning around to look at the food the maid brought, he sat down at the table and ate it all in one gulp.

Yes, don’t leave her any!

After eating, Xiao Qingyuan finally felt a little better.

Why was it only a little better? Because he found that his headache was getting worse.

He held his head in pain and wanted to ask Shen Wantang to get up and let him see him. But he felt that if he woke Shen Wantang up, she would be lucky enough not to slap him in the face. How could she possibly take his pulse or treat his illness?

After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to call Shen Wantang.

He had a headache and felt very surprised. He had never been so afraid of anyone before. Even when he was most infatuated with Chu Yanluo, he had never had such emotions.

When Shen Wantang was kind to him, he didn't feel anything, and didn't even take her seriously. In his eyes, she was no different from a stone.

But once she turned against him, he began to be afraid of her, and he even wanted to please her.

The more she ignored him, the more he wanted to find things to talk to her about.

really weird.

Is he a bit of a bully? Or is he a masochist? Or is he in love with her?

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked by his last thought!

He immediately shook his head to get rid of the weird thoughts in his mind.

What was there in Shen Wantang that was worthy of his liking? He liked Chu Yanluo, a fairy-like, proud and otherworldly woman, and Huayi, a gentle, obedient and well-behaved woman.

Which type is Shen Wantang?

Xiao Qingyuan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any adjective that was suitable for her.

He stared blankly at her sleeping body, guarding her from day to sunset, and from sunset to dark night.

Finally, Shen Wantang woke up. She turned over and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Dujuan, water."

Xiao Qingyuan immediately poured a glass of water, walked to the bedside and wanted to feed her.

But as soon as he approached, Shen Wantang sensed that something was wrong. In the dim light, she could barely make out his outline: "Xiao Qingyuan?"

"Well, it's me."

Shen Wantang was surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Oh, I'm not leaving tonight."

"what?!"

Xiao Qingyuan was not happy: "Why are you reacting so strongly? Didn't you complain about me not coming to your yard, so you went to my mother to tell her about me, forcing me to come to your yard on ten days every month? Today is the first day!"

"I never said that to my mother!"

"You still don't admit it?"

"I didn't say anything, why would you admit it?"

Xiao Qingyuan became even more unhappy: "So, you don't like me to sleep in your yard?"

Shen Wantang gritted his teeth in the dark: "I like it, I like it very much! Prince, take off your clothes and come to the bed!"
