Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Yes, Miss. I'll go right away." Shaoyao retreated immediately.

Chu Xi took the pill in his hand, stood up and walked back to the bed. Not long after he lay down, he heard a rustling sound. It was Shaoyao leading Huang Xiaoya in.

"Prince, please come this way. His Highness has just woken up..."

"Thank you for your help"

Huang Xiaoya thanked Shaoyao very politely. She knew that the little palace maid in front of her was a favorite of His Majesty Changsun, so she had to pretend before the truth was exposed.

Shaoyao nodded slightly and led Huang Xiaoya to Chu Xi's bed.

Huang Xiaoya looked at Chu Xi, who was pale on the bed, and was extremely proud. Judging from her appearance, the poison she had given him must have taken effect. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, her eyes began to turn red. She looked at Chu Xi with an anxious and worried look, and choked up and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Chu Xi slowly opened his eyes and looked at her when he heard the voice, and said in a weak voice: "It's my auntie, I caught a cold somehow, auntie, please don't get too close to me, lest I infect you."

Cough cough cough...

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing violently, which scared Huang Xiaoya so much that she covered her nose and took two steps back. Seeing that Chu Xi was so seriously ill, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes and she suddenly felt a little regretful for coming here, but who made her promise her mother?

Huang Xiaoya realized that her actions were a bit extreme, and quickly put down her hand that was covering her nose and walked back to the bedside, looking at Chu Xi with concern: "Aunt, don't be afraid, how could you be so sick? Have you asked the imperial physician to see you?"

Chu Xi looked at Huang Xiaoya with two dark circles under his eyes and a pale face. Of course, those two dark circles were caused by fighting with Yan Jingshuo all night last night, and the pale face was because of the effect of the pills he had just taken.

Chu Xi said weakly: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. The imperial physician came to see me yesterday and said that I had caught a cold and I just need to stay in bed and rest for a while."

Huang Xiaoya smiled secretly in her heart, fearing that it would not be as simple as just staying in bed and resting for a while. She would probably be bedridden forever and sleep in a coffin underground, right?

"It's good that the imperial physician said you're fine. When I heard that you were sick, I was so worried."

Huang Xiaoya pretended to pick up the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears and began to comfort Chu Xi.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. It's just a cold, Achu..." Chu Xi said and sneezed unconsciously at Huang Xiaoya.

Huang Xiaoya immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust, took a small step back, and cursed in her heart that it was bad luck.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I just couldn't help myself."

Chu Xi looked at Huang Xiaoya very apologetically, with a very hurt expression.

"It's okay, Your Highness, don't think too much. Have you taken your medicine today?"

When Huang Xiaoya saw Chu Xi looking at her with a hurt expression, she quickly put down the handkerchief in her hand in embarrassment.

"I ate it. I ate it right after I woke up." Chu Xi nodded.

Huang Xiaoya glanced at the bowl next to the bed and found that there were still some medicine residues left in the bowl. The corners of her mouth immediately raised, and the gloomy mood just now disappeared.

Taking medicine will undoubtedly aggravate your condition and produce more toxins.

Chu Xi lay on the bed and watched all the changes in Huang Xiaoya's expression. It seemed that Huang Xiaoya was 100% sure that she was really poisoned.

"Then your highness, please take a good rest. Your aunt will not disturb you."

Huang Xiaoya didn't want to stay here for a moment. She felt like she would vomit if she stayed for another second. Just as she was daydreaming, she caught a glimpse of the white brocade robe hanging on the hanger. It was the clothes worn by the handsome young man she met that day.

Wouldn't they both already be?

The more Huang Xiaoya thought about it, the more jealous she became. She wanted her eyes to burn two holes in the white robe on the rack.

Chu Xi saw Huang Xiaoya staring at a certain place, and looked in the direction she was looking, and found that the robe Yan Jingshuo had taken off was hanging on the rack, and Shaoyao had not had time to take it to wash.

Chu Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. Her aunt had only met Yan Jingshuo once, but she was already thinking about him?

Humph, a man who is thinking about his own nephew is so shameless.

"Then I will not see you off, Aunt. Shaoyao will see you off."

Chu Xi was too lazy to face the shameless woman in heat in front of him, so he simply drove her away in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao stepped forward to block Huang Xiaoya's sight and made a gesture of invitation: "Prince, please come this way..."

"Then your highness, I will take my leave first."

Huang Xiaoya reluctantly withdrew her gaze, bowed to Chu Xiyingying, and then followed Shaoyao out.

After walking a distance and making sure Chu Xi couldn't hear the sound, Huang Xiaoya asked Shaoyao, "Miss Shaoyao, I heard that you have been with my nephew since you were a child. Is it true?"

"My Lord, I have followed His Royal Highness Changsun since I was a child."

Shaoyao slowed down her pace, slightly turned sideways and answered Huang Xiaoya's question respectfully.

"Oh~ Then you are a great contributor to my nephew." Huang Xiaoya raised her eyebrows slightly and complimented Shaoyao with a smile.

"Your Excellency is too kind. It is our duty as servants to serve our master. There is no merit to speak of."

Shaoyao's forehead was covered with sweat. She didn't understand why this woman was asking these questions. She was afraid that she would say something wrong.

"How could that be? You took such good care of my nephew. Even if you have no credit, you have contributed a lot."

Huang Xiaoya praised her generously, trying to get closer to Shaoyao in this way so that she would let down her guard.

"Haha... Your Highness is really joking. I am only responsible for daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. I don't do anything else..."

Shaoyao smiled awkwardly, but she was very scared in her heart. She felt that this woman had bad intentions. Was she trying to bribe her?

"By the way, Miss Shaoyao, when did my nephew get engaged?" Huang Xiaoya asked casually.

"My Lord, your Highness was engaged before he even reached the age of marriage in Yan State."

"I wonder which nobleman of Yan State is betrothed to my nephew?"

A hint of success flashed across Huang Xiaoya's eyes, and she continued to speak to Shaoyao with a smile. She herself had also sent people to the State of Yan to inquire, but the journey was too long, and it would take at least ten days or half a month for the news to be sent back.

Moreover, the information sent back may not be as much as this slave knows.

"My Lord, the marriage is arranged with the Seventh Prince of Yan State, and my Lord has also seen the real person."

The sweat on Shaoyao's forehead was getting more and more. For the first time, she felt that the palace was too big. She walked for a long time but still hadn't reached the door.

"Seventh Prince? Do my nephew and the Seventh Prince have a good relationship?"

Huang Xiaoya chewed on these words secretly. She really wanted to ask the Seventh Prince what his real name was, but she was afraid that her little thoughts would be noticed, so she suppressed the impulse.

"Your Highness and the Prince are in love with each other and have a very good relationship."

Shaoyao finally walked to the door and stood beside it respectfully with her head lowered.

When Huang Xiaoya heard the words "mutually compatible", her face instantly darkened and a nameless anger rose in her heart. Seeing that they had already reached the door, she didn't dare to ask anything. She just forced a smile that was uglier than crying and thanked Shaoyao.

"Thank you Miss Shaoyao for telling me so much..."
