My junior sister pretends to be good and deceives people every day

Yan Zhiqiao looked as if he had guessed it long ago and picked up the spoon in the bowl and shook it.

"Just a reminder, this medicine is extremely bitter. Are you sure you want me to feed you mouthful by mouthful?"

The taste of this medicine is not strong, but the bitterness can be clearly smelled.

It's very pungent and smells very bad.

But Jiang Ciyuan felt that he was not afraid and said "hmm" calmly.

"alright."

Since Jiang Ciyuan liked to "torture" himself, Yan Zhiqiao was too lazy to stop him.

She scooped some with a spoon and carefully brought it to Jiang Ciyuan's mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, a strong bitter taste spread in his mouth, causing Jiang Ciyuan to frown unconsciously.

Yan Zhiqiao couldn't help but laugh with glee when he saw it.

"Are you sure you still want me to feed you?"

Jiang Ciyuan remained silent and stretched out his left arm towards Yan Zhiqiao.

"Help me."

Yan Zhiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion, but did not ask any more questions. He put the medicine bowl on the stool and helped Jiang Ciyuan sit up.

Before she could take the next step, she saw Jiang Ciyuan pick up the bowl of medicine with some effort, bring it to his face and drink it all in one gulp.

Yan Zhiqiao couldn't help laughing when he saw this. After Jiang Ciyuan finished drinking, he took the empty bowl and teased him jokingly.

"I thought you would be stubborn to the end."

Jiang Ciyuan took out two amber candies from his Qiankun bag, and eagerly stuffed one into his mouth before putting the other one to Yan Zhiqiao's lips.

"The patient must have self-awareness, otherwise he will suffer the consequences."

He said this in a serious manner, but Yan Zhiqiao smiled without saying anything, and just opened his mouth to bite the amber candy on his fingertips.

The sweetness spreads quickly in the mouth.

Jiang Ciyuan was seriously injured, and what he needed most right now was to rest well.

After a while, the effect of the medicine took effect and he couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, Yan Zhiqiao helped him lie back down.

"If you feel sleepy, take a good rest."

Just as he was about to withdraw his arm, Jiang Ciyuan grabbed his hand again.

He looked very sleepy, but still tried to keep his eyes open.

"Don't leave, stay here with me."

Yan Zhiqiao looked at Jiang Ciyuan for two seconds, then took out the carving knife and a new piece of jade helplessly.

"I'm right here, not going anywhere."

"Ah."

After getting the answer he wanted, Jiang Ciyuan contentedly took Yan Zhiqiao's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.

After a while, seeing that Jiang Ciyuan had fallen asleep, Yan Zhiqiao carefully withdrew his hand.

She glanced in the direction of the palace door, hesitated for a second, and then looked away.

Forget it, I won’t sneak away.

For the whole next day, Yan Zhiqiao kept his promise and stayed by Jiang Ciyuan's side.

Before I knew it, the sky gradually darkened.

After the doctors finished treating Jiang Ciyuan's injuries, Yan Zhiqiao walked into the bedroom with the freshly prepared medicine.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Miss Yan."

Yan Zhiqiao stopped and turned to face Mo Huai, who had a respectful look on his face.

"What's the matter?"

"Is your Highness free at this moment? I have something to report to him."

"It's convenient, come in."

Yan Zhiqiao nodded and led Mo Huai inside.

Compared to when he just woke up, Jiang Ciyuan now seems to be in good spirits.

As soon as Mo Huai saw him, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

"Get up."

Jiang Ciyuan responded, took the medicine bowl from Yan Zhiqiao and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that he was frowning because of the bitterness again, Yan Zhiqiao took back the medicine bowl and stuffed an amber candy into his mouth.

"You guys chat, I just need to go out for a while."

After saying this, Jiang Ciyuan didn't care that Mo Huai was still watching, and reached out to hold Yan Zhiqiao's hand.

"Want to go back to the inn?"

"Ah."

"How about letting the maid go?"

"..."

Yan Zhiqiao was silent for a moment, then pulled his arm back in a very "heartless" manner.

"I've been with you all day, and you can't even go out for a little while?"

Hearing Yan Zhiqiao's disgust, Jiang Ciyuan remained calm without blushing or breathing heavily.

"If I say no..."

Before he could even finish his words, he tactfully stopped talking under Yan Zhiqiao's expressionless gaze.

After a breath, he reluctantly squeezed out four words.

"Go early and return early."

Yan Zhiqiao was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Ciyuan. He took the medicine bowl and left without looking back.

Mo Huai on the side: "..."

His Highness was really being eaten alive.

After watching Yan Zhiqiao's figure disappear, Jiang Ciyuan retracted his gaze and looked at Mo Huai seriously.

"How's your injury?"

Hearing the concern in Jiang Ciyuan's words, Mo Huai felt warm in his heart.

"Your Highness, last night you helped me block a fatal blow, and later Miss Yan lost some of her magic power to me. Today I took medicine to heal my wounds, and now I am fine."

"That's good."

Jiang Ciyuan nodded.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Today I sent people to search the city carefully and found that several places that we investigated earlier were deserted and there was no trace of the demons."

When it came to business, Jiang Ciyuan's expression immediately became calm.

Given the demon clan's style of doing things, they should have caused even greater unrest, so why did they suddenly disappear?

Jiang Ciyuan suppressed his doubts and asked a different question.

"Father... and about my injury, has anyone in the outside world heard about it?"

When mentioning this, Mo Huai's expression became very solemn.

"No."

He shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"The two doctors are my men, and the ones sent to guard the king and Shen Yao are also my trusted confidants. Today, I personally interrogated them using the mantra, and I can confirm that they have not leaked any secrets."

Mo Huai is from the Dragon Queen's mother's clan. He was assigned to be Jiang Ciyuan's guard since he was born.

The friendship they had since childhood and the fact that Mo Huai had risked his life to protect him several times made Jiang Ciyuan trust him very much.

——Otherwise, I wouldn’t have blocked that fatal blow for him last night.

So Jiang Ciyuan believed what Mo Huai said.

Then the question arises. The only people in the palace that night, except for the two doctors and Mo Huai, were him, Yan Zhiqiao, the Queen Mother, the Dragon King, and Shen Yao.

The Dragon King and Shen Yao were imprisoned together, and the only people they could come into contact with on a daily basis were those sent by Mo Huai.

He, Yan Zhiqiao, the queen mother, could not possibly spread this matter and bring crisis to the dragon clan. Then how did the Demon Lord Xuan Yu know about his father?

Jiang Ciyuan lowered his eyes and looked solemnly at somewhere in the void.

The hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became very depressing.

Mo Huai observed Jiang Ciyuan's expression, thought for a moment, and spoke again.

"Your Highness, how about I interrogate them again tomorrow?"

Like Jiang Ciyuan, he did not have the slightest suspicion towards the Dragon Queen and Yan Zhiqiao.

Jiang Ciyuan did not respond immediately. He remained silent for a few moments before nodding slightly.

"Ah."

"Strengthen the city's guards. If you find any traces of the demons again, kill them immediately."

"Yes."

After reporting everything, Mo Huai no longer disturbed Jiang Ciyuan and quickly left the bedroom.

The hall became quiet again, but Jiang Ciyuan's expression became more solemn.
