Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

The cold wind blew on her face, and Su Yingxue suddenly felt much more awake.

Taxue walked in with an empty lunch box, some snow still on her shoulders and hair. She asked softly, "Your Highness, why are you sitting here taking a nap? Why don't you go to bed and take a nap?"

Taxue closed the door and walked into the room, only to see Chu Xingchen lying on the bed.

"Prince Chu, why are you here too?" Taxue looked at Chu Xingchen curiously. Seeing that he had his eyes closed and a handkerchief on his forehead, she asked softly, "Do you have a fever?"

"He has a slight fever, Taxue. When you get here, please take his pulse. He's sleeping, so be gentle." Su Yingxue stood up and said softly, "He had a high fever just now, and his forehead was burning. I mixed a cold towel and applied it to him to cool him down."

"Your Highness," Taxue put down the empty food box and walked over. Upon hearing this, she said to His Highness, "Just now, when I was taking care of Miss Qingming in her room, I met Master Mo who came to visit with gifts."

"I just learned from Master Mo that His Highness has left. Taxue guessed that His Highness might have returned to his room."

"Master Mo waited in Miss Qingming's room for a long time, but didn't see His Highness coming. Fearing that something might have happened to His Highness, he followed Taxue back to the West Wing and is now waiting for His Highness downstairs."

"Your Highness, do you want to go down and say hello?" Taxue asked her.

"What?" Su Yingxue's tone was filled with uncontrollable joy. "You said Brother Mo was waiting to see Ah Xue downstairs?"

Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of girlish joy and even a feeling of being coquettish.

After hearing this, Chu Xingchen's expression became even more gloomy.

She had never been so happy to see him.

Chu Xingchen clenched the bed sheet tightly with his hands.

"Look, Taxue, how do you like your dress and makeup? Are they messy?" Su Yingxue wanted to go downstairs immediately, but stopped halfway after taking a step.

It is said that women dress up to please themselves. Now she also needs to know whether her dress and makeup are appropriate and pleasing to the eye.

Chu Xingchen closed his eyes and listened to the conversation between Su Yingxue and Taxue, and his heart felt cold.

He felt a pang of pain in his heart. When did his sister care so much about her makeup?

She wore the floating brocade he gave her only once and then changed back into this plain outfit. Is it because this is the look that man likes?

Chu Xingchen felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She actually knew other people's preferences very well!

Seeing this, Taxue looked carefully at Su Yingxue's makeup and dress, and found nothing wrong.

"Your Highness looks so beautiful like this." Taxue smiled and joked, "Then let Taxue take care of Prince Chu for Your Highness, and Your Highness can leave first."

Hearing this, Su Yingxue smiled and instructed, "Okay, Taxue, take his pulse carefully, write a prescription, and have someone make a decoction for him."

"Take good care of my brother until Xue comes back."

"Yes." Taxue agreed with a smile and bowed to her.

Su Yingxue heard this and just walked out, but as soon as she had half a foot off the bed, a pair of bony hands grasped her wrists with unknown precision and refused to let go.

Su Yingxue felt the restraint on her wrist. The man's strength was so great, like an iron ring. His burning body temperature locked her slender wrist, not allowing her to leave.

Su Yingxue was pulled down by his sudden force and fell to the edge of the bed. After she managed to steady herself, she heard the hoarse voice of the sleeping person beside her murmuring in her sleep, "Sister, don't go..."

The whisper in the dream, his brows furrowed, seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. He locked her wrists, saying one sentence after another, begging, "Sister, don't go..."

"Sister, don't leave my brother..."

"Sister, don't leave..."

······

Su Yingxue tried many times, but she really couldn't pry open the fingers that Chu Xingchen had locked on her wrist at all.

Really, Su Yingxue was very angry.

Seeing that I can spend some tender and affectionate time alone with the target, maybe I can increase their favorability.

Now, the duck that was about to be caught was taken away by a sleeping person! How could I not be furious!

"It's okay for you to sleep in my sister's bed!" Su Yingxue was so angry that she scolded him. She felt uncomfortable and muttered, "Really? Why didn't you catch me earlier or later? Why did you..."

Su Yingxue was furious. She sat on the edge of the bed in a huff, her face gloomy, like a deflated balloon.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Taxue, go down and tell Brother Mo that I came back and found that Axue was not feeling well. She has taken medicine and is resting. It is inconvenient to wake Axue..."

"Let Brother Mo go back first..."

Su Yingxue said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Taxue knew that His Highness would not be able to leave the room under the current circumstances. She went downstairs to refuse Master Mo's request.

When he walked downstairs, he saw Mo Yunsheng, bowed in the snow, explained the whole story, and advised, "Mr. Mo, why don't you go back?"

"After the Asuka Dao test, you will be able to see the young lady."

Mo Yunsheng felt uncomfortable when he heard this. She was sick?

Mo Yunsheng raised his head and looked towards her boudoir, his heart and eyes filled with concern.

"In that case, Yun Sheng will take his leave first."

"I can only ask Taxue to take good care of sister Axue. I hope she recovers soon."

Mo Yunsheng concealed the concern in his eyes, bowed politely, then turned and left the courtyard gate, heading towards Huangyuan.

For some reason, when Taxue saw him wearing white clothes, he looked particularly desolate and lonely in the snow-covered world.

······

After Taxue came back with his reply, Su Yingxue just responded indifferently.

Su Yingxue was now sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning her back against it. She had a pillow under her waist. Chu Xingchen was holding her wrist tightly, and she really couldn't go anywhere...

"If my brother hadn't been sick, I would have thrown him out just now!" Su Yingxue muttered softly.

Now she was still angry and felt anxious.

Now, for some reason, ever since Chu Xingchen showed up, her strategy mission has been blocked. She hasn't completed any new strategy points in a long time.

Su Yingxue felt that she had been unlucky this year, and she felt depressed and extremely down.

Tomorrow is the incense art test. Since I can't do anything, why not just fall asleep and use the Wuxiang Tiandi to practice more?

Su Yingxue closed her eyes. The room was very quiet. Taxue had gone out to boil some medicine. She felt Chu Xingchen's pulse and found it strange.

But his fever was really high, so we decided to give him some antipyretic medicine first to help him get rid of the fever.

The room was close, the only sounds being his and her even breathing. Su Yingxue leaned back with her eyes closed and soon fell asleep. In her dream, her soul entered the activated formless world and the familiar incense room, where she began to practice the incense art that would be tested tomorrow.

Having not practiced for a long time, she first went over the entire incense art process demonstrated by Mo Yunsheng that day in her mind, and then imitated his movements, practicing step by step.

······

When Chu Xingchen heard Su Yingxue's even breathing, she knew that her sister had fallen asleep.
