The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

"for you."

Looking at the bowl handed to him, the aloof prince showed a rare look of surprise on his face.

"Give it to me? Won't you feed me..."

Li Jinyuan frowned, and his reluctant expression was inexplicably cute.

Jiang Li seemed to have heard a joke, and her lips twitched slightly.

"You just have a fever, not a broken hand. Drink it yourself."

The girl's attitude was cold and hard, and her face was deliberately stern, which made it look like she was taking revenge for the prank he had just done to her.

Li Jinyuan looked at her deeply, and then a dark light flashed in his eyes. He covered his head and cried out in pain.

"Hiss... I feel dizzy and my limbs feel weak."

Jiang Li glanced at him sideways and handed the bowl to him hesitantly.

"You're not pretending, are you...?"

Facing her questioning, the man leaned back on the pillow, and then his voice became much more subdued, as if he was really in great pain.

"Li Li... I'm not pretending. I really can't hold the medicine bowl."

He has a severe nasal tone and his speaking voice sounds sick.

"It's okay. If you're not afraid that I'll spill the medicine... then I'll drink it myself, hiss..."

After he finished speaking, he supported his head with one hand and supported himself on the bed with the other hand, trying to sit up.

The pale face and weak and helpless expression made Jiang Li feel uneasy.

After all, it was because he gave me his cloak last night that he got caught in the rain and had a fever... Never mind, I won't suffer any loss by feeding him medicine this time!

"Hey! Stop moving, I'll feed you."

The girl supported his "shaky" body and let him lean back on the pillow before she approached with the bowl of medicine.

"Thank you, Lili."

Li Jinyuan achieved his goal and couldn't help but chuckle. His sharp phoenix eyes were fixed on Jiang Li, with a tenderness that was difficult to hide.

The girl paused while stirring the medicine. Why did she feel like she had fallen into his trap?

"Huh... open your mouth."

As the black, pungent medicine that had been blown cold approached him, Li Jinyuan couldn't help but feel nauseous.

But he suppressed his ferocious expression, slightly opened his thin lips, and put the potion on the spoon into his mouth without hesitation.

Seeing him drinking so happily, Jiang Li couldn't help but frown for him. It was so bitter, didn't he feel anything at all?

One bite, two bites, three bites...

Half a bowl of medicine was finally finished, and the girl immediately took the candied fruit from the plate and stuffed it into Li Jinyuan's mouth, hoping to relieve the bitterness in his mouth.

Xiumei relaxed, and Jiang Li couldn't help but move closer to him. After all, the way he drank the medicine obediently, he really looked like an obedient child.

"Is it still bitter?"

Her red lips parted slightly, and Li Jinyuan's burning gaze was fixed on them.

Red, soft, want to kiss...

The next second, the handsome face in front of her suddenly enlarged, his almond-shaped eyes widened, and the warm touch on his lips made her forget to react.

It was not until the bitter breath entered her body along the tip of his strong tongue that she began to push him away with a whimper.

It’s so miserable! This bastard must have done it on purpose!

There was a smile in his phoenix eyes, but he did not give in at all. Instead, he pressed his big hands on the girl's waist harder and harder, and the two of them were inseparable.

A sweet and sour candied fruit was wrapped in her mouth at some point. The sweet taste immediately dispelled a lot of bitterness, and the girl's wrinkled face relaxed.

The distance between the two finally widened. Li Jinyuan stared at her closely, his eyes filled with tiny sparks.

Jiang Li's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly pressed the candied fruit against her cheek. Her fair cheek bulged out, making her look like a little hamster.

She pursed her moist red lips and then pushed the man away.

What a liar! He even lied to her about feeling weak in the limbs and having a splitting headache!

"rogue!"

Jiang Li stomped her feet fiercely, then ran out with a red face of shame and anger.

She didn't want to stay in the same room with this pervert. Even if he really turned into a fool this time, she wouldn't care about him!

Li Jinyuan was pushed back onto the pillow, his big hand resting on his chest, his chin raised, the smile on his face clearly still showing some lingering feelings.

……

The rain lasted for three days, and Li Jinyuan stayed in bed for three days at Jiang Li's request.

The weather cleared up that day, and the man was finally able to go out for some fresh air with the girl's consent.

"So, the medicines I've been using these days are all the ones Lili prepared for me?"

He glanced sideways at the girl. After a serious illness, not only did his condition not improve at all, but he became even more cold and aloof, so noble that people dared not approach him.

Jiang Li's eyes darted around, knowing that this matter could not be concealed. After all, Prefect Song and Liusu had seen it with their own eyes.

"Yes, the doctor gave me this prescription when I had a fever before."

"I have a weak constitution and often fall ill. I've learned this over time."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Li quickly took two steps forward, fearing that Li Jinyuan would see through her cover.

But the man's attention was obviously not here.

"Are you often sick?"

Jiang Li paused, then thought that this might be a good way to divert his attention, so she responded.

"Yes, I had a serious illness when I was a kid. My mother abandoned me... and sent me to a remote mountain area to recuperate. I almost died. After I recovered, I've been suffering from minor illnesses ever since."

The girl waved her little hands and did not show any sadness when talking about the past, as if she had let it go.

In fact, she didn't tell the whole story. According to the original owner's memory, the master had superb medical skills and it was very easy for him to treat her illness.

The real reason why she became ill was that she rescued a young boy from a lake in the back mountain.

It was the middle of winter. When she went to the mountains to collect firewood, she found a figure floating in the lake. The original owner, who was still a little girl at the time, was terrified.

She wasn't sure if the boy was still breathing, but remembering her master's teachings, she suppressed her fear and went to the lake to fish him out.

The lake water was freezing cold in winter. Just as the original owner was about to swim to the shore with everyone, his legs suddenly cramped.

She tried her best to grab the long rope used to tow the wooden boat by the lake, and used one hand to tightly grab the boy's collar.

Just when she was in despair, she heard calls from not far away.

There were a lot of people around, and she realized they might be looking for the boy, so she tried to raise her voice to respond.

Sure enough, a large group of people arrived soon. An official in the lead was holding a little girl in his arms. She was dressed exquisitely and was obviously a lady from a wealthy family.

They fished out both the original owner and the boy, but didn't ask or care about the original owner.

Seeing everyone gradually walking away, the original owner could only drag his cramped legs and fall into the cold wind. His wet cotton robe was soaked with water, and it was really freezing cold.

While her consciousness was fading, she heard the delicate little girl talking.

"Dad, Wanwan is so cold. Please send us to the cave, and then you can go find other people..."

"Okay, Wanwan, remember to protect him well..."
