The weak prince's queen

Could this really be the heartbreaking feeling of a broken heart? Chu Xiyue's face was filled with loss, her voice was filled with sadness, and her slightly lowered eyes seemed to be flashing with a light that was about to break.

She murmured softly, her tone revealing deep confusion and helplessness. "I can't really say I'm heartbroken. After all, I never truly embarked on that so-called love journey from the beginning to the end. Perhaps I'm just being overly sensitive and overthinking it. Sigh, the most urgent thing now is to think carefully about how to return Lin Ruoxue to freedom, and then do everything I can to smoothly return to the familiar modern world."

Chu Xiyue kept trying to convince herself deep down, and gradually, her mind calmed down. She began to concentrate and calm down, thinking carefully about how to implement the plan to set Lin Ruoxue free.

She understood deeply that she had to make a decisive decision at this moment and could no longer hesitate and waver like before.

She slowly turned her head and gazed out the window. Quietly, she gazed at the scene beyond, a familiar yet unfamiliar scene, a flicker of inexplicable melancholy and emotion in her eyes. The familiar streets, buildings, and occasional passersby in her memory all reminded her of her life in the modern world. Back then, she was filled with dreams and a pursuit of the future, running freely along her own path. However, now, as if trapped by the hand of fate, she was trapped in this unknown and mysterious time and space. Everything had become so complex that it was difficult to grasp the truth and direction.

Now, she was even more determined to find her way home and to free Lin Ruoxue. She began to carefully sort out her current situation, looking for possible clues and opportunities.

She lay quietly in bed, the afternoon slipping away in that stillness. The warm winter sun shone through the window onto her face, but it failed to dispel the gloom in her heart.

Dong'er carefully carried the bowl of bitter medicine and slowly walked to the bedside. "Princess, take the medicine." Dong'er said softly, her eyes full of concern.

Chu Xiyue opened her eyes slightly, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, "Ah... can you not take the medicine?" She acted like a little girl and acted coquettishly, looking so adorable.

"No." Xiao Yichen's low and firm voice sounded. He had just hurried in from outside and happened to hear Chu Xiyue's words that she refused to take the medicine.

Xiao Yichen walked in and took the medicine from Dong'er's hand. His hands were long and strong, but at this moment, they seemed particularly gentle. He was about to feed the medicine to Chu Xiyue, but Chu Xiyue said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, let Dong'er do it."

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, feeling a little disappointed, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, "It's okay, let me come."

But Chu Xiyue insisted, "No need, let Dong'er come. There's no need for you to stay here for long, Your Highness. I'm almost well again." There was a hint of alienation in her tone. Xiao Yichen could hear that Chu Xiyue seemed to be a little resistant to him now. He knew that forcing her would only backfire, so he turned around and walked away tactfully.

His back looked lonely and desolate, and the sweetness and warmth that once existed seemed to have dissipated into the air in an instant.

Dong'er looked at Xiao Yichen, who had disappeared from her sight, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. Then she slowly turned around and asked with concern in her eyes, "Sister Yue, are you deliberately resisting the prince? Why are you so rude?"

Chu Xiyue sighed softly, her face still maintaining that indifferent expression. She slowly said, "No, I just don't think there's any point in wasting my precious time on those insignificant people. Oh, right, bring the medicine over here." However, her heart was in turmoil, and she felt extremely disappointed. Inwardly, she cursed: "Damn Xiao Yichen, you were so gentle and considerate every time you fed me the medicine before, but now you really don't want to feed me, and just leave without looking back. What a cruel guy..."

"But Sister Yue, I can clearly see that the prince cares about you very much." Dong'er looked at Chu Xiyue with a puzzled look on her face, her eyes revealing confusion.

Chu Xiyue frowned slightly and said helplessly, "That's because I helped him block that sword attack earlier, and out of gratitude, he wanted to check on my injuries. But it doesn't mean anything, it's just a momentary gesture." As she spoke, she picked up the bowl of medicine and gulped it down. It was strange to say, she usually dreaded the bitter taste of medicine, but now she didn't feel it at all. Perhaps the things on her mind affected her taste buds.

"Sister Yue, don't think too much about it for now. The most important thing is to take good care of your injuries." Dong'er saw this and could only try her best to comfort Chu Xiyue, hoping to calm her down a little.

Chu Xiyue sat calmly by the bed, a subtle flicker of emotion in her eyes. She gently took a bite of the candied fruit Dong'er handed her, the sweet taste spreading across her tongue, seeming to temporarily dispel the slight unease in her heart. However, it wasn't long before the drug began to take effect, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, eventually slowly closing as she fell into a deep sleep.

Dong'er carefully covered Chu Xiyue with the quilt, her movements so gentle that she seemed afraid to wake the sleeper. She tiptoed out of the room, carrying the bowl of warm medicine, as if taking away all the peace and tranquility.

When she arrived at the door, she saw Xiao Yichen standing beside her. Xiao Yichen's deep eyes revealed concern and worry. He asked anxiously, "How is the princess? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you a little unhappy?" Dong'er felt conflicted. She knew that she couldn't hide this from the prince, but she found it difficult to speak up.

In the end, she said perfunctorily, "Uh... maybe the wound hurts too much." She thought to herself that it would be better to let Sister Yue speak out about this matter herself. After all, the relationship between the prince and the princess is deep, and some things still need to be communicated and resolved between them. She never expected that the prince didn't even know what Sister Yue was angry about.

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He knew Chu Xiyue's temper and personality well, and knew she wouldn't get angry for no reason. So, he said decisively, "Okay, then I'll talk to Divine Doctor Ge and ask him to adjust the prescription. You just take good care of the princess, and report any problems to me at any time."

Dong'er quickly responded, "Yes." She looked at Xiao Yichen's departing back and secretly vowed in her heart that she must do her best to take good care of the princess, so that she can recover soon and regain her former smile.
