A bowl of liquid medicine, fed patiently by Zi Sai, soon reached the bottom.
"Last sip!" Bring the remaining liquid to Zi Tong's lips.
Zi Tong opened her lips without thinking.
Looking at her performance, Zisai took back the empty bowl in his hand with satisfaction.
When Xiaopeng ran back in sweat and saw the empty bowl on the table, he was dumbfounded: "Princess Zitong! Have you finished drinking?"
Just now you were obviously refusing to drink, but in just a short while, you drank all the Chinese medicinal liquid in the bowl!
Zi Tong gave Xiao Peng an angry look and said, "With that expression on your face, do you want me to drink it or do you want me not to drink it?"
When Xiaopeng heard this, he quickly put back the emotion on his face and put on a flattering smile: "Of course I hope you drink it, so that the medicine can cure your illness!"
"Don't think I can't see it. The look on your face just now clearly didn't mean it!" Zi Tong muttered in a low voice and stretched out his catkin to Xiao Peng: "Sweet dates!"
"Yes!" Xiaopeng hurriedly stepped forward and handed the sweet dates in his hand to Zitong.
Zi Tong grabbed the cleaned sweet dates and ate them deliciously.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Zisai put aside his worries and looked back at Xiaopeng and ordered: "You take care of the princess first, I'll go and rest for a while, call me if you need anything!"
"Yes!" Xiaopeng responded and watched Zisai leave.
Zi Tong stared blankly at his figure disappearing outside the room, holding the sweet date in his mouth and not moving for a long time.
"Princess Zitong! You must never have imagined that the master stayed up all night to take care of you last night!" Xiaopeng still looked outside the room and whispered.
"..." Although Zi Tong had already vaguely guessed it, now that he heard Xiaopeng's personal confirmation, he was still inevitably moved again.
A different feeling slowly spread to every inch of her skin.
Xiaopeng looked back at Zi Tong: "This is the first time for me to see an adult care about someone so much!"
"Really?" A faint smile appeared on Zi Tong's lips.
"..." Xiaopeng's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he moved his lips several times to speak, but never made a single sound.
Zi Tong saw this in his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Xiaopeng bit her lip in confusion and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'm sorry for my rudeness, but I hope Princess Zitong can forgive me!"
"Say it!" Zi Tong was in a very good mood and didn't care at all what he was going to say.
Xiaopeng stared at Zitong and spoke timidly, fearing that she would blame him: "I originally thought that the master hated Princess Zitong; but now it seems that I was completely wrong!"
"Originally, I had the same idea as you; now it seems..." Zi Tong lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the joy in his eyes: '...not only does he not hate me, he also cares about me!'
Xiaopeng was puzzled as to why she suddenly fell silent in the middle of what she was saying.
Zi Tong, who was immersed in his own world, raised his eyes to look at Xiaopeng for a long time: "Tell me, what kind of person is he in your eyes?"
"This..." Xiaopeng looked embarrassed and did not dare to talk about his master's rights and wrongs behind his back.
"Just say it with confidence, nothing will happen!" Zi Tong saw his worry and said with a smile: "There are only two of us here. If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how will he know that we are talking about him behind his back!
"
Xiaopeng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same reason; so he lowered his voice and satisfied Zitong's curiosity: "Although your Excellency usually gives people a feeling of being frozen, he still treats us servants well, at least he won't
Like some mansions, the lives of slaves are not in their eyes; even if we make mistakes on weekdays, the adults will punish us on a case-by-case basis; of course..." Xiaopeng paused slightly and continued: "...if we behave well on weekdays,
The adults will also give us certain rewards!"
"It turns out that he still has such a human side!" Zi Tong murmured softly.
Although she stayed in the mansion for nearly half a year, except for finding trouble and revenge every day, she never thought about getting to know this person; but after what happened last night, Zi Tong suddenly felt the urge to get to know this person.
, and understand it thoroughly!
Xiaopeng remained silent and did not comment on what Zitong said.
"You go and do your work first, I don't need to take care of you here!" Zi Tong suddenly ordered.
"That can't be done!" Xiaopeng refused directly: "You are weak now. If another accident happens, I will die without mercy!"
Zi Tong laughed: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, I just want to take a rest!"
"Uh~~" Why didn't you say it clearly and made me worry in vain for a long time?
"Can you go about your own business now?" Zi Tong asked patiently.
Xiaopeng hurriedly replied: "I have nothing to do, I am waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call me!"
"Okay!" Zi Tong had no objection to this compromise.
"Then you rest!" Xiaopeng slowly exited the room and closed the door behind him.
Zi Tong slowly lay down with her body propped up, her eyelids slightly closed; Zi Sai's figure gradually eroded her entire mind.
The next morning...
After a night's rest, Zi Tong's complexion finally improved.
Walk to the window, open it gently, take a deep breath of clear air after the rain, and feel relaxed physically and mentally.
“Knock!” “Knock!”…
A knock on the door broke Zi Tong's slightly enjoying expression.
"Come in!"
Xiaopeng pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Princess Zitong! Your Excellency has asked your servant to invite you downstairs for dinner!"
"Go downstairs?" Zi Tong was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked, "Why don't you have dinner upstairs?"
"My lord said, we have to set off after breakfast!" Xiaopeng repeated what Zisai said.
"That's it!" Zi Tong understood: "You go down first, I will come later!"
"yes!"
Xiaopeng went downstairs first, and was greeted by Zisai's suspicious eyes.
"Where is she?"
"You should pack your things and let the slaves come down first!" Xiaopeng expressed his guess.
Zisai nodded lightly and asked smoothly: "By the way! Have you asked the waiter to prepare dry food for the road?"
Xiaopeng smiled confidently: "Don't worry, sir! Everything is ready!"
"That's good!"
After a while, Zi Tong jumped up and down the stairs.
Zisai raised his eyes slightly and saw that his expression had basically returned to normal, letting go of his worries a little.
“Come and dine!”
"Oh!" Zi Tong obediently walked over to Zi Sai and sat down next to him. Looking at all the mostly light food on the table, he couldn't help but frown: "Why is it so light?"
"You've just gotten better, so you shouldn't eat too greasy food. Just give it a try!" Zisai said patiently.
After hearing what Zi Sai said, Zi Tong raised the corners of his lips slightly, frowned and relaxed his eyebrows: "Oh! I listen to you!"
Seeing the transformation of Zi Tong before and after, Zisai shook his head. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of him and asked casually: "Do you want to go back to the imperial capital, or come with me to the north?"
