The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Chapter 78 Don't Care Too Much

Lu Lingxi had never personally taken care of a patient who had fallen, and didn't know what else he could do, so he suggested: "Xiao Yu'er, you just ate so much, do you want to go out for a walk in the yard to help digest the food?"

Nan Wangyu looked at his legs awkwardly and said, "It's not very convenient."

Lu Lingxi also felt that his proposal was somewhat inappropriate.

Nan Wangyu was afraid that Lu Lingxi would come up with some other ideas and expose the fact that the injuries on his body were also fake, so he quickly said, "I had lunch and I feel a little sleepy now. I want to take a nap. Lingxi, you must have worked hard to learn horse riding this morning. Why don't you go home and have a rest? Yingmo is taking care of us here, so don't worry."

Lu Lingxi thought, "Are you ordering me to leave now? You're not afraid that I'll worry, you're afraid that I'll do something weird again and I won't be able to pretend anymore. Forget it, no matter what, you saved me, so I won't bother with you."

Lu Lingxi said: "Okay, but don't you need to take medicine after eating?"

Nan Wangyu was about to answer that he had an external injury and didn't need to take any medicine. Ying Mo thought he was smart and answered quickly: "The medicine has been boiled since early morning, and it should be healed by now."

Lu Lingxi looked at Yingmo and said, "Then go and bring the medicine over. I need to watch him in person and make sure he drinks the medicine well before I can feel at ease." After saying this, he smiled in a very understanding manner.

Nan Wangyu had already guessed by now that Lu Lingxi had seen through his pretense of being seriously injured, but he refused to say it out loud and just wanted to see him make a fool of himself out of his own accord.

Ying Mo, who was a stubborn person, didn't know about Lu Lingxi's bad taste and thought that Lu Lingxi really cared about the Crown Prince. He quickly agreed, "Yes!" and ran to get the medicine.

After Yingmo left, Lu Lingxi gave Xiaoyuer a comforting smile and said, "After taking the medicine, you should be well soon."

Nan Wangyu also forced a perfunctory smile, feeling miserable in his heart: "What kind of medicine am I drinking for no apparent reason? It's bitter and hard to drink. It might be harmful to my body. It's all Yingmo's fault for talking too fast. I'd better let Yingchen come back and serve me in the future. He is definitely more reliable than Yingmo."

Ying Mo didn't know where he got the medicine from, but he came back soon, and the medicine was still hot. As soon as he entered the room, he said to Nan Wangyu, "I just went to see, and the medicine is just right. Drink it while it's hot!" Ying Mo felt that it was not respectful to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name or "you", so he simply didn't call him that.

Ying Mo brought the medicine to the bedside and was about to blow it cool for his own prince. Suddenly, he imagined the scene: a grown man scooped a spoonful of medicine with a spoon, blew it cool, and then fed it to another grown man. It was quite disgusting to think about it, and his back was unconsciously cold. When he looked up, he saw his own prince looking at him coldly. If he really dared to feed him like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely settle the score with him later.

So Yingmo turned around and said to Lu Lingxi, "Miss Lu, why don't you feed him the medicine? I... Oh! I suddenly remembered that the fire is still on. It would be bad if the kitchen is burned down." Without giving Lu Lingxi a chance to refuse, he handed the bowl of medicine to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi was holding the medicine bowl with a confused look on his face, watching Yingmo's back as he left. Then he heard Xiaoyuer say happily, "Thank you in advance, Lingxi."

Lu Lingxi thought: Xiaoyu'er is really conceited. Isn't he afraid that I will accidentally spill the medicine on him? Oh! Forget it, I'd better not mess around. It would be a bit ungrateful if it happened again. Since he saved me from some physical pain, I should take care of him.

So, Lu Lingxi sat beside the bed, carefully blew the medicine to cool it down bit by bit, and fed it into Xiaoyuer's mouth.

Although the medicine was extremely bitter, Xiao Yuer drank it with great enjoyment.

After Xiao Yu'er finished drinking the last bit of medicine, Lu Lingxi said, "Now that you've finished the medicine, you can have a good rest. I'm going back first and will come to see you another day."

Although Nan Wangyu felt that the atmosphere just now was very good and was reluctant to let Lu Lingxi leave, he also knew that if he kept her for too long, it would not be fun if she was exposed, so he replied: "Yeah, Lingxi, you should go home and rest soon, and be careful on the road!"

Just as Lu Lingxi walked out of the room with Chunhong and Liulu, Yingmo came in. Nan Wangyu coughed uncomfortably and said, "Pour me a glass of water!"

Ying Mo quickly poured a cup of slightly cold tea on the table for Nan Wangyu.

Nan Wangyu drank it quickly to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth. Before taking the second sip, he asked Ying Mo: "What kind of medicine did you make? It's so bitter? Isn't it just for show? Just make something that looks like medicine. There's no need to make it so bitter, right?"

Ying Mo: "Your Highness, this medicine is not fake. It is the medicine the doctor prescribed for you just now. I told him that you fell off a horse and might have internal injuries, so the doctor prescribed this medicine for you. Your golden body is the most precious, you can't be careless." He said it quite proudly, as if he was taking credit from Nan Wangyu, "Do you think my subordinate is very smart?"

Nan Wangyu really wanted to strangle the self-righteous guy in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever heard of the saying that medicine is three parts poison? I just fell off the horse's back. How could I have any internal injuries? I don't need to take medicine for external injuries."

Ying Mo wanted to explain that he was doing it for the good of His Highness, but when he saw Nan Wangyu's unfriendly expression, he quickly admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again in the future."

Seeing that Ying Mo had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Nan Wangyu gave up the idea of ​​asking him to go back to the training camp. However, he was afraid that he would still talk too much and cause trouble if he kept him by his side, so he said, "Next time Ying Chen comes back to take over, you can switch with him. You go out to complete the task, and let Ying Momo follow me."

Ying Mo also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that he was acting on his own initiative, so he did not dare to refute and replied respectfully: "Yes! I obey your command."

Then Nan Wangyu removed all the gauze on his body and returned to the Prince’s Mansion.

Lu Lingxi, Chunhong and Liulu were sitting in the carriage on their way back to the Zhenguohou Mansion. As the carriage was shaking, Lu Lingxi felt a little drowsy.

Suddenly, Liu Lu asked, "Miss, why did you deliberately pour the bowl of soup on Xiao Yu'er's head just now? I saw it all. You deliberately tripped over your right foot with your left foot."

Lu Lingxi said with a guilty look on her face: "I didn't, I was just careless, mainly because my skirt was too long and it got tangled around my feet. My knee also hit the edge of the bed, it hurt."

Liu Lu said doubtfully, "Really? But your skirt has always been this length? I never saw it tangled around your feet."

Hey! Lu Lingxi suddenly didn't want to answer.

Chunhong saw that Lu Lingxi didn't want to answer, so she answered for her: "The lady suspected that Xiaoyuer's injury was fake, and wanted to test it. It turned out that there was indeed no wound under the gauze on his head."

Liu Lu: "Yes, I just thought it was strange. Miss, how did you see that?"

Chunhong continued to help Lu Lingxi answer: "First, when the young lady stood up, Xiaoyuer reacted quickly and wanted to help the young lady. Secondly, there was no smell of medicine in the room. It should be that the young lady smelled it closely and still did not smell the medicine. Logically speaking, the smell of herbs is very strong."

After listening to Chunhong's analysis, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but give her two thumbs up, "Chunhong, you really know me better than the worms in my stomach. You are right."

Liu Lu: "Miss, why don't you pour the bowl of medicine on him as well? The medicine is so hot, maybe he will dodge it, wouldn't that just expose him?"

Lu Lingxi leaned on the window sill of the carriage, holding his chin with both hands, "Oh! Forget it, he saved me after all. Although he pretended to be injured to deceive me, I also poured a bowl of soup on him, which can be considered as offset. It feels a bit unfair to pour a bowl of boiling medicine on him. What if he didn't dodge and got burned, wouldn't it be my fault?"

In fact, when it comes down to it, Xiao Yuer is not the person Lu Lingxi cares about the most right now, so she thinks this deception is harmless. She understands his intentions, but since she doesn't care, she won't be too angry.
