Suppressing the panic in her heart, she opened her mouth and said, "Duo … "Many thanks Pavilion Master, it's better to let your subordinate do it himself. This subordinate does have the strength to drink porridge."

As if trying to resolve the awkward situation, she let out a humorous "heh heh" twice. After she finished laughing, she discovered that the atmosphere had become even more awkward.

Especially when Yan Xiao looked at her without saying a word and didn't take back the spoon or pass the spoon to her, looking at her just like that made her even more distressed. He didn't even know where to put his gaze.

It was rare for Yan Xiao to see Shen Qin in such a helpless state.

When Shen Qin raised her hand to grab the spoon in his hand, he slightly moved his hand to the side and said, "Eat."

It was just a simple word, yet it resounded, causing Shen Qin to not dare to have any thoughts of disobedience. She hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth, and ate the congee.

She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Yan Xiao, and only mechanically fed her the congee that Yan Xiao had given her, bit by bit.

This was the first time her master had served her in this way. Shen Qin's entire being was stiff, to the point that she did not even dare to breathe loudly. As for what the taste of the congee was, she felt even less.

Some thoughts that had been hidden deep in their hearts for a long time began to stir again.

She knew she shouldn't have thought like that, but the man in front of her eyes made her feel a gentleness she had never felt before. It made her heart unknowingly become restless again.

Shen Qin frowned slightly, instinctively biting her lower lip.

Yan Xiao didn't know what she was thinking. He placed the empty bowl on the tray and said to her: "Rest well."

His voice lacked the indifference and indifference that she remembered, and had gained a little warmth, causing Shen Qin's heart to tighten a little but his face still carried the usual expression. He nodded at Yan Xiao, "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Yan Xiao wasn't one who liked to fuss about things, but unfortunately, after hearing Shen Qin call him "Pavilion Master" several times, his heart was suddenly filled with a burst of rage, and his expression became gloomy as well.

Shen Qin glanced at him, then thought about the traitor Grand Preceptor Pang, who was still a bit worried. She opened his mouth to call Yan Xiao, who was about to leave, "Pavilion Master, you must be careful of that Grand Preceptor Pang."

Yan Xiao didn't even turn around, he only said in a deep voice, "Rest well. Leave the rest to me."

After which, he opened the door and walked out.

"Your Highness."

The guards standing outside called out to him respectfully when they saw him come out.

Yan Xiao looked inside, and said to the guards: "Protect her well."

"Yes."

Shen Qin was not sleepy at the moment, she stared at the top of the bed in a daze, and thought back to how Yan Xiao looked when she left. She pursed her lips, and frowned: "The pavilion master seems to be angry."

But what was he angry about?

Shen Qin could not understand, and could not think of how the words she had said just now had angered him.

No matter how sshe thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason, so Shen Qin decided not to think about it. Because she had just woken up, and her strength was still insufficient.

After Yan Xiao left the King Jing Palace, Yan Jue followed him out.

In the front hall of King Jing Palace, only Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing remained.

It was clearly a place that he was most familiar with, yet when Liu Ruo Qing stood here, he looked like an outsider who had come to find Yan Yuan. He was so flustered that he didn't know where he should go.

Just at this time, a young and tender voice sounded from outside the hall that she was familiar with, and it carried with it the excitement of a few children. royal father! "

Soon after, a small figure ran into the hall, followed by a wet nurse.

Looking at her precious son, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes suddenly turned hot. Her eyes were extremely sore and moist, and she had to do her best to control it before the tears in her eyes were forced back.

In just a few months, the little guy had grown so much taller, and his appearance became more and more similar to Yan Yuan. Presumably, when he grew up, he was a handsome youth with unparalleled charm, and even a bit better than his royal father.

She quietly looked at young son, as if she had forgotten that she was only an outsider.

"Father, you're back. Heng Er misses you."

The little guy's young and tender voice easily wiped away the sharpness on Yan Yuan's face, becoming gentle and warm.

When he looked at his son, he thought of her beloved wife. Even though she had left in a hurry, and did not even leave his son with his eyebrows, he could still see her face in his son's face.

"Royal Father went to look for Mother. Is Heng Er good at home?"

When young son heard that his father had gone to look for his mother, his bright eyes immediately lit up. With excitement shining in his eyes, he tightly hugged his neck and asked, "Then has his father found his mother yet?"

Liu Ruo Qing stood at the side as if she was an outsider, listening to the father and son duo's conversation. Her expression did not change, but her heart was surging with emotions.

Her son was not even four years old. He was supposed to be with his parents, but she was not with him.

She saw the excitement in the little guy's eyes when he mentioned her, and her heart throbbed in pain. However, she did not dare to let herself be too obvious.

When Yan Yuan heard her son's question, the expression in his eyes dimmed a little, but he still forced out a smile: "Soon, Mother still isn't willing to forgive Father. She doesn't want to see Father.

Hearing that his mother was still not coming back, the excited smile on young son's face slowly disappeared.

He merely nodded at Yan Yuan, "Alright father, then you have to work hard. If mother still doesn't forgive you after seeing mother, then you can get his to beat you up. The eighth uncle said that if he angered Aunt during the day, he would only forgive him after he was beaten up by her."

"Puchi …"

The little guy's innocent childish face caused Liu Ruo Qing, who was originally standing at the side in grief, to be unable to resist laughing out loud.

Naturally, this laughter successfully attracted the attention of father and son.

Looking at Yan Yuan's cold eyes, Liu Ruo Qing's smile froze, she immediately lowered her head and apologized, "I know my wrongs, please punish me."

"Very funny?"

Yan Yuan's low voice sounded in front of her, making her unable to tell if he was angry or not.

However, if one were to use their toes to think about it, it was possible to guess that he was angry.
