Zhao Yi laughed. “Nothing, it’s just a cold. Has she taken any medicine?”

Li Wangde nodded and said, “The doctor has already visited in the morning and prescribed some medicine.”

Mr. Huang added, “Mr. Li, you do not need to worry. His Highness just wants to visit Miss Baojia for a while. He comes to inform you first. Please don’t mind us.”

“I hope you are smart enough and don’t come over to disturb His Highness’s visit,” he thought.

Li Wangde bowed respectfully. “Then, Your Highness, please make yourself at home. I’ll leave.”

When he left the door of the central courtyard, he still felt like he was in a dream. “Am I dreaming now? His Highness had come to visit my daughter?”

He was shocked and overjoyed. If Baojia had worked harder, she might be able to become the crown princess without him having to ask for her.

He really did not expect it.

His youngest daughter, who seemed never to grow up, had such charm that His Highness personally visited her.

…

When Zhao Yi and Huang Gao arrived at the entrance of Li Baojia’s courtyard, Taotao was still lying in front of Li Baojia’s bed. She couldn’t believe it when the servants told her that the Crown Prince had come to visit.

But by now, Zhao Yi had already walked up to her, and immediately she flung herself to the ground.

After performing the grand salute, it so happened that a maid sent the medicinal soup over in a green porcelain bowl with a few tiny preserved fruits next to it.

Taotao raised her head with some apprehension and was about to take the medicine bowl when a long, slender hand carried it away in front of her.

Taotao’s eyes widened. “Your Highness…”

Zhao Yi said warmly, “I’ll do it.”

Taotao only had to move aside.

In her eyes, the Crown Prince naturally did not know how to serve people medicine soup. It would be great if he did not spill the medicine soup.

The master was also to blame. The Crown Prince was a male from another family. So how could the master let him freely enter the lady’s boudoir?

Zhao Yi held the porcelain bowl while looking at Li Baojia in bed. His long, knuckled fingers held a spoon to stir the soup.

She was covered tightly, and only her head was revealed. Sweat stains crawled all over her forehead, her face was red, and hair strands were sticking to her face.

Her big bright eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes curled into a beautiful angle, and her tiny mouth was slightly open. From his position, he could easily see her sweet red mouth, snow-white teeth, and pink tongue behind her lips.

Then she seemed to feel uncomfortable. It was too hot under the covers, and she moved uncomfortably, pulling the covers down a bit, revealing her equally sweaty and soaked lingerie.

The lingerie was messy, clinging to her chest and lining her full breasts. Her waist was slender, and one could see glittering white flesh inside.

After a while, she still felt hot, so she simply stretched out her feet.

She was now dizzy, unaware that the man in her nightmare was sitting next to her, glancing at her with his eyes, from her somewhat messy hair to her white and lovely feet. His gaze was aggressive, unlike the restraint and propriety seen in the past.

Her feet were slender and delicate, not like the skinny feet of ordinary women. The back of the feet was slightly fleshy, and each toe was round and lovely, enticing people to put them in their hands and play with them carefully.

Taotao was anxious beside her. Why did Miss sleep so ungracefully? She wanted to go up and pull up the covers for her but was stopped by Mr. Huang. “Miss Taotao, don’t disturb His Highness while he’s feeding the medicine. Go out.”

Without saying a word, he pulled her out and stood outside, quietly closing the room door.

Zhao Yi blew the medicine soup gently to cool it down and brought it to Li Baojia’s lips. The spoon collided with her teeth with a crisp, ringing sound.

She closed her eyes and dazedly clamped on the spoon to take a sip, then tightly frowned, and when Zhao Yi tried to feed her again, she refused to open her mouth.

Her teeth were tightly closed, and she stubbornly pursed her small mouth.

Zhao Yi sighed. “She’s so petulant.”

He casually pinched a preserved fruit and put it in her mouth. Her nose moved as if she smelled the sweet fragrance. Her mouth immediately opened, and she looked like she was waiting for him to feed her.

He delayed putting the preserved fruit in her mouth. So she was a little anxious and raised her finger slightly to bite the preserved fruit.

During the process, she accidentally touched Zhao Yi’s fingers.

His fingertips seemed to feel her soft little tongue gently sweeping through his skin with a moist touch.

He paused shortly and looked at her again, who was by now contentedly biting into the preserves.

The heartless little girl.

He handed her the soup spoon again while she still refused to open her mouth, which made Zhao Yi a little angry and amused.

He drank the medicine soup in his bowl, tilted her head over, and kissed her on the mouth.

It was as soft as he expected.

Under his somewhat domineering strategy, her tightly closed mouth was also forcefully opened by him. As a result, a thick stream of medicine soup flowed into her mouth, while some flowed down the corners of their mouths.

Li Baojia choked uncomfortably and gulped down a large mouthful of medicine soup.

After he had given her the medicine soup, he did not leave immediately.

He held her head firmly in one hand so that she could not avoid his kisses. The other hand was around her shoulders, and she was utterly confined from behind.

Instead of being as rough as he was just now, he began to taste her carefully, like a violent storm that had suddenly turned into a slight spring drizzle. He softly entwined their lips together until she was a little breathless. Then he let her go.

Li Baojia was slightly gasping for air, and Zhao Yi pecked her on the lips again, somewhat rewardingly, and said, “Good girl.”

In her sleep, Li Baojia felt that her body was on fire, her face was even redder, and her lips glistened with water.

He moved a little farther away from her, put the medicine bowl down, pulled the quilt up, put her feet in, and gave her another amorous look before he turned to leave.

Taotao was anxiously waiting at the door. She immediately went in when Zhao Yi came out and was relieved to see that her miss was still well under the covers.

Everything was normal except that her face was a little flushed.

But the sick face was originally red, so this situation should also be considered normal, right?

Zhao Yi was in a good mood and said to Huang Gao at the door, “Let’s go.”

Li Wangde had been following the Crown Prince’s movement, and when he heard that the Crown Prince was leaving, he came out to see him off.

He hurriedly arrived before they left the courtyard. “Your Highness, I will walk you back.”

Zhao Yi said, “No need, Mr. Li, just stay here.”

He turned around and left.

Li Wangde looked at Huang Gao. “Mr. Huang, this…”

Huang Gao smiled and said, “Since His Highness said there is no need to send him, then please don’t mind us, Mr. Li.”

Then he changed to another topic. “But I still want to congratulate you first. Mr. Li, good things are coming.”

Li Wangde joyfully replied, “Is that true?”

But Huang Gao shook his head and had no intention of continuing the topic. Instead, he only said, “Then we will leave first.”

Turning around, he quickly caught up with Zhao Yi.

…

In the room, Li Baojia had just woken up, and as soon as she got up, she looked at Taotao with a thoughtful look.

She lifted her hand with some difficulty, feeling sore all over. “Taotao, help me up.”
