Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Shen Zhiyi's clothes were stained with blood due to the treatment he had just received.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi quickly took out a new piece of clothing from the closet, handed it to Shen Zhiyi, and said, "Put this on."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly frowned and let out a hiss.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Tao Jiuxi asked anxiously.

Shen Zhiyi gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "The wound... hurts a lot."

Tao Jiuxi looked suspicious and moved closer to check, muttering, "Does it hurt now? You didn't say a word when I was getting the stitches just now, and I didn't see you look like this."

As she spoke, she carefully lifted a corner of the gauze covering the wound and examined it carefully.

Fortunately, there was no sign of bleeding from the wound.

Shen Zhiyi seemed to be in real pain. He frowned and said, "My subordinates were watching us right here. If I cried out in pain over such a small injury, where would I put my dignity?"

Tao Jiuxi nodded slightly after hearing this. "You're right. After all, you're a Duke, and you still have to save face. But next time, don't be so stubborn. You can ask the doctor to prepare a numbing pack in advance. If you get hurt again, knock yourself out first and then get treated. This way, you'll suffer less."

"Are you hoping that I'll get hurt again next time?" Shen Zhiyi asked with a raised eyebrow, but there was no blame in his tone.

"No, no, we wish you all the best." Tao Jiuxi waved his hands quickly and smiled playfully at Shen Zhiyi.

Just looking at Shen Zhiyi's bloodstained clothes, he knew that he had to change them, so he took the initiative to help: "Let me help you change."

"Then I'll trouble you." Shen Zhiyi was not polite.

Tao Jiuxi reached out and gently unbuttoned Shen Zhiyi's shirt, moving very carefully, fearing that he might accidentally hurt Shen Zhiyi's wound and cause him more pain.

Tao Jiuxi was concentrating on changing Shen Zhiyi's clothes and did not notice that Shen Zhiyi's mouth corners were slightly raised from beginning to end, and his eyes were staring at her with a smile, and there seemed to be a different emotion flowing in his eyes.

After changing clothes, Tao Jiuxi picked up the towel and carefully wiped Shen Zhiyi's hair.

Fortunately, the weather was already quite hot at this time. If it were the cold winter, the two of them would definitely catch a cold if they did this.

After doing all this, Tao Jiuxi poured another glass for Shen Zhiyi.

"Drink some water. Go to bed early today."

Tao Jiuxi said softly as he handed the cup of water to Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi was about to use his uninjured arm to catch it, but as soon as he raised his arm slightly, his brows involuntarily frowned and he said painfully, "It hurts so much when I raise my hand."

"Ah! It's so serious. Why were you so stubborn and carried me for so long just now? Don't move. Let me feed you." Tao Jiuxi quickly brought the cup of water to Shen Zhiyi's mouth.

"You must have injured your tendons. Tendons and bones are connected, so if you get hurt here, you'll also feel pain there."

She explained it seriously, and it was obvious that she believed it.

However, Tao Jiuxi didn't notice that Shen Zhiyi's mouth corners were almost raised and could hardly be suppressed.

In Shen Zhiyi's eyes, Tao Jiuxi looked so cute at this moment.

Everything is sorted.

"I'm going back to sleep. If you feel severe pain at night, just call me loudly." Tao Jiuxi said with a worried look on his face.

Their rooms were connected, so as long as Shen Zhiyi called out, she could arrive quickly.

However, after Shen Zhiyi's previous experience with the kidnapping, he still felt uneasy: "Stay with me tonight. Although Prince Shou is dead, I don't know if all his followers have been eliminated."

"Then why don't you ask Jiang Qu to stay, or transfer some more people over?"

"As long as you are by my side, I can keep you safe. My injury will definitely cause unbearable pain at night. If they were here, I would have to endure the pain and not make a sound." Shen Zhiyi coaxed Tao Jiuxi softly.

"Okay. I can keep an eye on you while you sleep here."

Tao Jiuxi was extremely tired that day. After going through so many things, he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Shen Zhiyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and kept his eyes open until dawn appeared in the sky.

Early in the morning, Tao Jiuxi woke up and gave Shen Zhiyi a sweet smile.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"I thought about it last night. Our rooms are next to each other, so there shouldn't be any danger. You should go back to your room today." After saying that, Shen Zhiyi turned around as if in a huff.

Tao Jiuxi: “…”

Tao Jiuxi was speechless for a moment.

Despite this, Shen Zhiyi still recalled some guards and had them stationed on the first floor of the ship.

Jiang Qu was impatient and set out for Sucheng at night. By the time he invited Miss Xue back, the round trip would only take two days.

Tao Jiuxi was personally feeding medicine to the "weak" Shen Zhiyi. When he heard that Xue Yunmeng had arrived, he couldn't help but ask, "We've been sailing for two days. They're moving too fast."

"It was pretty fast. I'll scold Jiang Qu later."

"Why?"

As Tao Jiuxi spoke, her hands did not stop moving. She scooped a spoonful of medicine and handed it to Shen Zhiyi's mouth.

Tao Jiuxi has recovered well in the past two days and no longer feels drowsy like he did in the past few days.

Shen Zhiyi pretended to be weak every day, enjoying Tao Jiuxi's constant care, and felt very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qu was so efficient that he invited the person back so quickly, even if it was just an incense stick later, so that Tao Jiuxi could finish feeding the medicine.

Jiang Qu reported from outside the door: "Master, Miss Xue has arrived."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yunmeng had already stepped into the house.

Shen Zhiyi was leaning against the head of the bed, and Tao Jiuxi was standing in front of the window, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, feeding medicine. Xue Yunmeng was very anxious when she saw this.

"Didn't you injure your arm? How could it be so serious that you have to be bedridden?" Xue Yunmeng walked straight forward to check and reached out to pull Shen Zhiyi's arm to take his pulse.

Shen Zhiyi was about to dodge, but Tao Jiuxi stopped him with his eyes.

Xue Yunmeng took the patient's pulse, his expression gradually changing from anxiety to confusion, and finally to speechlessness.

"You guys are really interesting. Look at how you're pretending."

A hint of disgust appeared on Xue Yunmeng's lips, simply because Shen Zhiyi's pulse was so strong and powerful, like a surging wave.

That year, when she found him in the mountains, he had been poisoned by a snake and was seriously injured. He had been in a coma for several days. After waking up, he didn't seem to need anyone to feed him medicine.

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi realized that he had been deceived by Shen Zhiyi.

"Shen Zhiyi, just wait for me. When you get better, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Tao Jiuxi said angrily.

"Hmph, he's fine now, why don't you go and deal with him?" Xue Yunmeng added fuel to the fire.

Just as Tao Jiuxi was about to throw a punch at Shen Zhiyi, Shen Zhiyi covered the injured area and said pitifully, "It really hurts, even superficial injuries hurt."

Tao Jiuxi's heart softened again.

"His wound is quite big, it must be really painful."

Xue Yunmeng said dissatisfiedly: "You two are really unbearable... You invited me all the way here just to watch this?" She felt a little jealous, but more of it was speechless about their behavior.

Seeing Jiang Qu also enter the room, Shen Zhiyi stopped pretending. He took the medicine bowl from Tao Jiuxi's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah Xi, please ask Miss Xue to take your pulse."

Xue Yunmeng and Tao Jiuxi sat on the low couch under the window, and Xue Yunmeng took Tao Jiuxi's pulse.

However, she withdrew her hand after just a few strokes, completely lacking the seriousness she had when she took Shen Zhiyi's pulse.

"Is the diagnosis over already? Miss Xue's medical skills are really superb..." Tao Jiuxi saw through Xue Yunmeng's perfunctory attitude at a glance, but judging from her attitude, he should be fine.

"Miss Tao is fine. This poison will only make her pulse look like she's pregnant."

"That's good, I was scared." Tao Jiuxi was very happy to hear that.

"However, this is poison after all, and it cannot be underestimated. In order to prevent any other side effects, I have to follow your ship to prevent you from feeling unwell." Xue Yunmeng said seriously.

Tao Jiuxi looked at her and said jokingly, "Miss Xue, if you want to follow us, just say so directly. No need to make excuses."

"Was my performance that obvious?" Xue Yunmeng asked in a low voice.

"That's not the case!"
