Yan Jue endured the pain on his back as he limped miserably behind Liu Tian Xin and looked at her with a fawning expression.
When he saw her raise her eyes to him, he passionately smiled at her, trying to flatter her, "Xiao Tian Xin, are you still angry at me?"
Liu Tian Xin ignored him, walked to the door, and shouted to Zi'er: "Zi'er, cook another bowl of medicine for me."
A trace of craftiness flashed across Yan Jue's eyes, and at the instant Liu Tian Xin turned to look at him, he smiled again.
"Yan Jue."
"Here."
"Can you stop laughing so cheap?"
"Alright, I'll listen to Xiao Tian Xin. I'll laugh however Xiao Tian Xin makes me laugh."
Seeing his appearance, obviously his face was pale white, yet he was still playing tricks on him, causing Liu Tian Xin's heart to soften.
She rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and said with a softer tone, "Zi'er, bring the medicine over later. You should drink more obediently for me."
"Is Xiao Tian Xin planning to feed me?"
Liu Tian Xin clenched her teeth, and was just about to open her mouth and reject, when Yan Jue interrupted him, "If you don't feed me, then I won't drink, since I do."
"Shut up!"
Liu Tian Xin growled through gritted teeth, why had she not realized how shameless Yan Jue was before.
No, she was wrong. He was quite shameless before as well, but his shamelessness made her unable to resist him.
In the face of Yan Jue's look at her, which had a hint of gentleness in it, Liu Tian Xin's heart softened. He sighed: "Alright, alright, I'll feed you, is that not enough?"
"I knew Xiao Tian Xin doted on me the most."
He dragged the chair that he was sitting on to Liu Tian Xin's side, wrapped his arms around Liu Tian Xin's arms and rested her face on her arm, and said while swaying back and forth.
In a blink of an eye, Liu Tian Xin had lost all her temper.
"Yan Jue."
"Here."
"Can you change your name?"
"Hmm? Don't you like it when I call you Xiao Tian Xin? "
Yan Jue was startled for a moment, and then raised his head from her arms, "Alright, I will listen and be careful. From today onwards, I will tell you to be careful."
Little stars?
Why didn't you call me Xiao Yue?
Liu Tian Xin clenched her teeth in her heart, and looked at Yan Jue's smirk. Endure it!
Zi'er carried the medicine and quickly arrived.
"Princess, the prince's medicine is here."
Liu Tian Xin stood up and brought the medicine over, then walked back to Yan Jue, picked up a spoon, and spooned onto his mouth, "Drink."
"Bullsh * t."
"…"
Liu Tian Xin had the urge to pour the medicinal juice on Yan Jue's face, but facing that pale white face of his, she endured it.
He placed the pill by his mouth, blew gently on it twice, and then slowly passed it to Yan Jue.
Only then did Yan Jue drink the medicine in satisfaction. Liu Tian Xin took one mouthful after another, and slowly, she finally treated this "Giant Nascent Soul".
"Alright, you should go rest."
Liu Tian Xin said to Yan Jue as she put down the empty bowl.
After saying that, she stood up again. "I'll go to the courtyard to sit for a while. I'll come in after you've rested."
"Be careful."
Yan Jue stopped her again. Just as she was about to get up and leave, he saw the loneliness in her eyes, and this loneliness caused his heart to tighten.
It was as if she had grabbed hold of him in an instant, and he felt like he was suffocating.
Even though he was still shouting about her being "careful" like a scoundrel, the mischievous smile on his face was replaced with a serious expression as he pulled her back.
"What?"
Liu Tian Xin's voice was a little muffled, and when she turned her head to look at him, her expression was still somewhat cold and hard.
"Don't you like taking care of me?"
When he asked her about it, he was more serious than he had pretended to be at first. "If you don't want to, I'll change to Zi to serve you. You can just sit and rest."
Although he really didn't like having another person standing between him and being careful.
Hearing that, Liu Tian Xin turned her head to look at him, and then, she suddenly thought of something, and her face immediately revealed an annoyed expression, "Is it possible that everything I need to do, can you give it to Zi'er?"
Yan Jue could not hear the happiness and anger in her tone, hearing her ask that, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head, but after he finished nodding, he could sense that Liu Tian Xin's entire body had instantly been infected with anger.
"Go to hell, Yan Jue!"
She ruthlessly pushed him away, and under Yan Jue's innocent gaze that he did not understand, she angrily kicked his knee, "I told Zi Er to come in and serve you! "Humph!"
After he finished speaking, he left in a rage, leaving behind an expression that seemed to be unable to make head or tail of things. His pair of enchanting phoenix eyes were filled with innocence.
"What did This King say wrongly?"
He murmured to himself, completely unaware of what he had just done.
Hadn't he already asked Zi to take her place? Why wasn't she happy? You're still telling him to die?
How can that be! He was dead, and he had to be careful not to be widowed.
Liu Tian Xin angrily came out of her room, cursing the entire time, "Yan Jue, you naughty bastard, go and die, go and die!"
Just as Zi'er was entering from the outside, she saw Liu Tian Xin angrily walking out from the inner hall, cursing Yan Jue nonstop. Hearing her scolding, a few black lines appeared on Zi'er's forehead.
It was all thanks to their prince's good-natured attitude. If it were anyone else who dared to scold them like this, they would have long pulled him out for chopping.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Zi'er smiled. "Did the prince make you angry?"
Liu Tian Xin looked at Zi'er's smiling appearance, and the two dimples at the corner of her lips grew deeper. Upon closer inspection, Zi'er was truly one of the top beauties in the Heavenly Stellar Palace.
When he thought about how she had helped Yan Jue clean his body and take the medicine before, Liu Tian Xin felt like he had drank a whole jar of vinegar. It was extremely sour.
As a result, she scolded Yan Jue from head to toe in her heart. The pitiful Eighth Prince still didn't know that he had been scolded to the point that his head was covered with black dog blood by his wife.
"It's nothing, Yan Jue said, if it was anyone else who came in to serve him, would you normally serve him?"
She suppressed the sour feelings in her heart and asked as she looked at Zi'er.
Zi'er didn't understand and nodded honestly. "Reporting to the princess, before you came here, you were indeed a servant serving the prince."
After receiving Zi'er's reply, the waves of bitterness in Liu Tian Xin's heart began to stir up once more.
"Alright, then go in and serve him."
With that, he left the inner hall, walked into the yard, and sat down in a huff.
Thinking back to how she helped Yan Jue wipe his body today, thinking about how Zi'er was so close to him now, touching his body from head to toe, she was so sore that she couldn't even breathe.
Zi'er did not know what had happened between Yan Jue and her, but as a palace maid of the Heavenly Stellar Palace, she did not dare push the matter when the Prince had asked her to come in. After giving Liu Tian Xin a worried look, she walked towards the Inner Palace.
