The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Li lay on the bedside, coughing non-stop. It seemed he was choking badly...

"Just drink it now. They know you're the prince, so they don't dare to use force on you. I don't mind feeding you medicine like this every day!"

Mrs. Hua and General Hua outside the door stretched their necks as far as they could, but still couldn't see the figure behind the curtain.

"This damn girl, I wonder if she can control her temper a little?"

"Madam, I think it's quite risky..."

The rapid coughing sound reached the ears of the two elders, and they could only stand outside the door and worry.

"Next time I'll just drink it myself. No need to be so violent. Your coughing is making my chest hurt!"

Li Li's shiny black hair was stuck to his stunning face due to sweat, and he looked a little embarrassed and weak...

Hua Ye stood up and was about to leave: "Your Highness, you have already taken your medicine. I'm sorry I can't keep you company!"

Li Li covered his chest with one hand and supported himself on the bed with the other hand, leaning against the headboard with an unnatural blush on his face.

"Miss Hua, would you mind sitting down and talking to me for a moment?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid that if I do, you'll get angry and hurt. My life will be in jeopardy. I want to live a long life."

Hua Ye paced back and forth in the room with his back to him, moving his shoulders uncomfortably and turning his wrists alternately.

"That's right, ahem... Miss Hua has always been sharp-tongued, and her aggressive demeanor is growing stronger day by day."

Li Li's eyes, filled with regret and love, drifted with her back...

"I need to return to Shilin to deploy defenses. You are the future of Western Chu. Please take care of yourself and don't act on your own for the sake of love! I, Hua Ye, don't want to be recorded in history as a beauty who brought disaster."

Hua Ye saw her parents still outside the door, so she patiently clasped her hands together, bowed and saluted.

"From now on, you don't need to be so polite in front of me. If anyone dares to say that Miss Hua is a beauty, I will..."

"That's enough, Li Li! A forced melon isn't sweet. Don't pick it forcefully. Once you taste it, it will be bitter and heartbreaking, harming both you and others!"

There was an added layer of regret and hatred in Hua Ye's cold eyes towards him, and the expression on his face became much darker.

Every word struck Li Li's heart, reminding him of his actions in his previous life, which had deeply broken Hua Ye's heart.

Guilt washed over his entire chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He breathed rapidly and coughed, feeling like he would pass out in the next second.

"Dad, His Highness has taken the medicine, but he's coughing so badly, hurry up and call Dr. Luo! I'm afraid he'll pass out from the coughing!"

Hua Ye sat calmly on the round stool, calling out to the door slowly.

General Hua, who was outside the door, heard this in a panic, not knowing whether to walk in or run out, and hesitated.

Madam Hua patted his shoulder and pointed to the courtyard behind him: "Go call Dr. Luo first."

The two of them hurriedly welcomed Dr. Luo Shen in...

Hua Ye sat beside him, drinking tea meticulously, oblivious to what was happening outside the window, only focusing on the tea in the cup.

Doctor Luo took a few long strides and came to the prince's bedside. He put down his medicine box, grasped Li Li's wrist, and took his pulse...

Li Li was secretly sad, his eyes always fixed on Hua Ye's back, coughing intermittently.

"Your Highness, you should not be too stressed or angry. You should lie down and rest. The guards will call a servant to help the prince change his clothes."

Chongming, who was hiding in a shadow corner watching the show, was pulled out from behind the pillar by Doctor Luo Shen.

"Yanran, bring His Highness a change of clothes..." he ordered as he walked to the door.

Hua Ye drank several sips of tea in a row and also secretly ate the royal snacks on the table that only the imperial chef would make.

It melts in your mouth, is neither sweet nor greasy, has a distinct color, and has a smooth surface in the shape of a plum blossom, with pink and white colors. One bite will reveal the full red bean filling. It is called: Acacia Red Bean Cake!

"This snack is good!" Hua Ye casually picked up another one and took a bite.

Madam Hua looked at her, acting as if she was indifferent to the matter and advised, "The Crown Prince is in a high position and has great power. Even if he is unhappy, he must still fulfill his duties as a monarch and a subject. Don't go too far!"

Mrs. Hua snatched the red bean cake from her mouth, put it on the table, pulled her to the bed, and knelt on the ground with Hua Ye.

"Why is Madam Hua showing such great courtesy?"

This kneeling made Li Li so anxious that he wanted to get up from the bed again, but was held down by Doctor Luo Shen again.

"Firstly, my little girl has a stubborn nature and is not yet mature. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will be magnanimous and not argue with her!"

Mrs. Hua lowered Hua Ye's straight body a little and continued speaking.

"Secondly, I want to express my gratitude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my daughter's life. The Hua family is incapable of repaying this great kindness. We swear to defend the territory of Western Chu to the death and never give up an inch."

Doctor Luo Shen lit a calming incense stick, and took out the best wound medicine and gauze from his medical box, ready to change the dressing for the prince.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Madam Hua and Miss Hua won't be able to stay for long?"

Doctor Luo asked the Crown Prince who was feeling drowsy and had a headache.

Li Li waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Hua, you are too kind. I am loyal to Hua Ye and willing to save him. There is no need to feel any burden! Please get up quickly. I am tired!"

His voice became increasingly soft and low, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes slowly closed...
