The weak prince's queen

With Xiao Yichen's unremitting efforts, Chu Xiyue's high fever finally subsided. He gently stroked Chu Xiyue's forehead, feeling her body temperature gradually stabilize. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he relaxed completely, slumping weakly in a chair beside him.

Xiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension and worry in his heart gradually dissipated. He looked at Chu Xiyue quietly, hoping that she would recover as soon as possible.

At this time, Doctor Ge came over and carefully examined Chu Xiyue's physical condition. He felt her pulse, observed her breathing, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Doctor Ge turned around and said to Xiao Yichen, "Your Highness, the princess's fever has subsided, and she's made it through the night. As long as she wakes up tomorrow, there won't be any major problems."

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yichen's tired face broke into a relieved smile. He said gratefully to Divine Doctor Ge, "Okay, thank you very much, Divine Doctor. If it weren't for your miraculous healing skills, I really don't know what I would have done!"

Divine Doctor Ge smiled modestly and said, "This is what I should do. Princess, you are blessed by nature, and I believe you will recover soon. However, Your Highness, you also need to take care of your health."

Xiao Yichen nodded, indicating that he understood. However, his eyes never left Chu Xiyue, as if this was the only way to make him feel at ease.

Seeing Xiao Yichen so focused on Chu Xiyue, Doctor Ge stopped disturbing them. He sighed softly, turned around and left, leaving Xiao Yichen alone by Chu Xiyue's side.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xiao Yichen stayed by Chu Xiyue's side until dawn. When the first ray of sunlight poured into the room through the window, Xiao Yichen realized that a new day had begun.

He looked at Chu Xiyue and found that her complexion was much better than last night, but she was still unconscious. He frowned, worried.

At this time, Mo Feng came in to report that breakfast was ready. Xiao Yichen waved his hand, signaling him to put the food on the table. How could he have the heart to eat now?

After Mo Feng arranged the food, he brought a basin of hot water. Xiao Yichen picked up a towel, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and gently wiped Chu Xiyue's cheeks, arms, and palms, hoping to bring her some comfort.

While he was busy, Chu Xiyue's fingers suddenly moved. Xiao Yichen immediately stopped what he was doing and stared at her face.

Chu Xiyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion, unable to react for a moment.

Xiao Yichen was so excited that he almost jumped up. He quickly held Chu Xiyue's hand and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Chu Xiyue blinked, trying to recall what had happened before. When she saw Xiao Yichen's anxious expression, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Your Highness... I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy." Chu Xiyue replied weakly.

Xiao Yichen looked at her with eyes full of heartache, and said softly but firmly: "Don't worry, everything will slowly get better. Now you just need to rest in peace, and leave everything else to me. I will definitely take care of you meticulously."

Chu Xiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Xiao Yichen carefully helped Chu Xiyue to sit up slowly, then picked up a cup of warm water and gently fed it to her. After Chu Xiyue drank the water, she felt her throat instantly relieved a lot, and her mental state also improved a little.

Xiao Yichen gazed at Chu Xiyue tenderly, his eyes filled with tenderness and deep love. He asked with concern, "Xiaoxue, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

"Xiaoxue?" Chu Xiyue asked back with a confused look on her face.

"Don't you like me calling you that?" Xiao Yichen asked nervously.

"Actually, you can just call me Xiyue." Chu Xiyue replied with a smile.

"Xiyue?" Xiao Yichen seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but ask another question.

"Uh... this is my nickname. I personally prefer this name." Chu Xiyue explained. After all, it always felt weird for others to call her Lin Ruoxue, and sometimes she couldn't even react.

"Okay, Xiyue." Xiao Yichen responded softly.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the wound, and Chu Xiyue couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Doctor Ge!" When Xiao Yichen heard Chu Xiyue's cry, his face instantly became nervous and he shouted hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ge hurried into the room and carefully examined Chu Xiyue.

"Your Highness, the princess accidentally pulled the wound just now. Please be more careful and do not move around randomly to avoid pulling the wound again. Now I will go and boil medicine for the princess." Doctor Ge said seriously.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, doctor." Chu Xiyue said gratefully.

Doctor Ge did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly left the room.

"The miracle doctor told you not to move around. Lie down quickly. Just tell me if you need anything." Xiao Yichen's voice was exceptionally gentle, but it sounded like he was blaming her, yet it was also filled with concern.

"Okay." Chu Xiyue's heart warmed, and a happy smile spread across her face as she responded obediently. Then, with Xiao Yichen's support, she slowly lay down.

Xiao Yichen gently covered Chu Xiyue with the quilt, his movements as gentle as if she were a fragile treasure. Then, he slowly sat down, his eyes falling on Chu Xiyue's face, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

"You... why did you help me block the sword?" Xiao Yichen's voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Chu Xiyue frowned slightly, as if trying to think of the answer, but finally shook her head: "I don't know either."

Xiao Yichen's eyes became increasingly profound. He stared at Chu Xiyue, as if trying to see through her eyes what she was really thinking. "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Chu Xiyue blinked, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth: "Actually, I was afraid, but at that time I really didn't want the prince to die. Who knew it would hurt so much? I won't do it next time."

A warm feeling welled up in Xiao Yichen's heart. He reached out and gently held Chu Xiyue's hand, saying in a firm tone, "I promise I will never let this happen again."

A brilliant smile spread across Chu Xiyue's face, as charming and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. "Okay."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yichen spoke again: "You saved my life this time. Is there anything you want me to do for you? As long as it does not violate moral ethics, I will agree to it."

A sly glint flashed in Chu Xiyue's eyes. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled mischievously and said, "Well...it's hard to say. I'll tell you when I think of it."

Xiao Yichen smiled helplessly and nodded lovingly: "Okay, then you can think about it slowly. I will wait for you."
