An hour later.

When Shen Pei woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Song Siyao leaning against the wooden tub with her eyes closed and her breathing even. She was asleep.

Song Siyao was so tired that she fell asleep.

After she used her internal energy to help Shen Pei expel the poison from his body, all her energy and spirit were exhausted.

With Shen Pei by her side, she felt at ease and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Pei moved closer to Song Siyao, gazing intently at her eyelashes and eyebrows.

At this moment, Song Siyao's brows furrowed, perhaps as if she were having a dream.

Shen Pei reached out and gently stroked Song Siyao's brows, his touch tender and slow.

A few moments later, Song Siyao's eyebrows relaxed, and his breathing became even again.

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao quietly, and in that instant, he wished time could stand still.

After a long while, Shen Pei suddenly felt that the water in the medicine bucket was a little cold.

He quickly picked Song Siyao up by the waist and carried her to the bed next to him.

Song Siyao was soaked through, which perfectly showcased her shapely figure.

He quickly pulled the quilt over and covered Song Siyao with it.

"Somebody come!"

Shen Pei called out to the outside.

"Your subordinate is here." Wei Xin, who had been guarding the door, quickly answered when he heard Shen Pei's call.

"Bring Hongshao in," Shen Pei instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Xin hurriedly went to call Hong Shao, and a moment later, Hong Shao came into the room.

Seeing Song Siyao lying on the bed, Hongshao asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with my young lady?"

"Help her change her clothes." Shen Pei walked behind the screen.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hong Shao worked quickly and changed Song Siyao's clothes in no time.

She walked over to Shen Pei and said, "Your Highness, my young lady's clothes have been changed."

Shen Pei nodded, "You can go out now."

Hong Shao left the room and suddenly realized that she had just seen Shen Pei stand up and walk like a normal person.

She suddenly realized that Song Siyao had just detoxified Shen Pei.

Shen Pei walked to Song Siyao's bedside, sat there, and quietly watched Song Siyao.

"Yaoyao, thank you."

Thank you for appearing in my life, for making my time so wonderful, and for making me feel that life is worthwhile.

Thank you for helping me detoxify and giving me a new lease on life.

Thank you for teaching me how to love someone.

……

Shen Pei stared intently at Song Siyao without even blinking.

Two hours later.

Song Siyao finally woke up.

"You're awake." Shen Pei smiled at Song Siyao, his eyes gentle.

"How long have I been asleep?" Song Siyao asked.

"Two hours," Shen Pei said gently. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I've already slept well." Song Siyao looked down and saw that her clothes had been changed.

Shen Pei explained, "It was Hong Shao who replaced it."

“I know,” Song Siyao said with a smile.

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao tenderly, "How did you know?"

“Your Highness is a gentleman, and I believe you will protect me.” Song Siyao looked at Shen Pei with eyes full of trust.

Seeing the look in Song Siyao's eyes, Shen Pei felt incredibly proud.

At least, Song Siyao knew he would protect her.

With him around, Song Siyao feels safe.

"Your Highness, how is your leg?" Song Siyao had taken Shen Pei's pulse before he fell into a coma and knew that the poison in his body had been completely cleared.

"It's all better now," Shen Pei said.

"Really? Come on, walk a few steps so I can see." Song Si shook his eyebrows, his eyes full of joy.

She nimbly got out of bed and stood in front of Shen Pei, her face full of anticipation.

"Are you walking steadily? Let me hold your hand." Seeing that Shen Pei was sitting still, Song Siyao was worried that he had just recovered and was unsteady on his feet.

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao's outstretched hands and reached out his own without hesitation. At the same time, he stood up.

"Take a few steps and see." Song Siyao held Shen Pei's hands, and she took a step back.

Shen Pei followed Song Siyao step by step, walking very steadily.

Seeing this, Song Siyao released Shen Pei's hand and smiled, "Your Highness, you have recovered very well."

"It's all thanks to you." Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao and smiled gently. "How do you think I should repay you?"

"How does Your Highness wish to repay this?" Song Siyao asked with a smile.

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao earnestly and sincerely, "How about you repay me with your body?"

Song Siyao looked Shen Pei up and down, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Okay."

Shen Pei has exceptionally handsome features; even when he was in a wheelchair, his elegance was undeniable.

Now that his legs have recovered and he can walk freely, he is even more stunning.

"Really?" Shen Pei's eyes were filled with surprise. "Wait until we return to the capital..."

Song Siyao interrupted Shen Pei, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Let's go see the disaster victims."

Her identity is unknown, and she carries too many burdens on her shoulders; she doesn't want to implicate Shen Pei.

Shen Pei's eyes darkened. "Alright."

He knew that Song Siyao cared about him, but Song Siyao seemed to have something on her mind.
