Chapter 198
Chun Xing had left the door ajar when she left, so she naturally heard the noise in the courtyard. She particularly approved of Ye Yunzhou's departure without informing her. So far, she hadn't considered how to let anyone around her know about her affair with their prince. After all, if more people knew, hiding it from the Marquis and his wife would be much more difficult.
Chun Xing brought the hot water and placed it in front of the bed, then turned back and closed the door. Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao consciously lifted the corner of the quilt, then lifted her skirt, exposing the exposed wound.
Unexpectedly, the wound, which had only been slightly red when the medicine was applied, now looked even redder and slightly swollen. Chun Xing took a quick look at the distressing situation between her legs and exclaimed, "Oh, Miss, your injury looks serious. Otherwise, please wait for me. I will go find the prince and see if I can find a doctor to take a close look at you. I hope you don't leave any scars."
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Alright, don't go. There aren't any good doctors here. This injury is just scary. Once you apply the medicine, the swelling will go down tomorrow. It will be healed in two days. Don't worry."
"But..." Chun Xing was still a little hesitant.
Luo Shuiyao interrupted her, "Don't say 'but'. I know my own body. Don't forget that your young lady knows a little about medicine and won't make a mistake in diagnosing herself. Soak the cloth in water and give it to me. If you're afraid, I'll wipe it myself."
Chun Xing pursed her lips, but ultimately couldn't utter anything. She squatted down, soaked the cloth, wrung it dry, and handed it to Luo Shuiyao.
It wasn't because she was afraid to wipe it, but because the wound looked really scary. She thought, if she wiped it herself, what if she accidentally hurt the young lady? It would be better to let the young lady wipe it herself. If it hurt, the young lady would stop herself.
Luo Shuiyao looked at her eager expression, knowing full well what she was thinking. She simply curled her lips and gave her a soothing smile before taking the cloth and gently wiping it. Actually, the medicine Ye Yunzhou had given her was quite effective and even had some analgesic effect. Although the wound looked a little more horrible now, it was far less painful than before.
After cleaning the wound, Luo Shuiyao took the homemade medicine Chun Xing had brought and applied a thin layer. She then pulled her skirt down to cover her legs, moved closer to the bed, and motioned for Chun Xing to come up and lie down.
Although the courtyard was called a courtyard, it was very small. There was only one room in the main house that could accommodate people. Apart from the kitchen, there were no other rooms. Luo Shuiyao was worried about letting Chun Xing find a place to sleep alone, so she thought it would be better for them to sleep together.
Seeing this, Chun Xing was flattered and thought to herself, how could a master let a servant sleep on the same bed? She was about to refuse, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Luo Shuiyao.
"Well, when we're out and about, there aren't so many rules. I'm your lady, do you really want to disobey my orders?"
Chun Xing gritted her teeth, thinking that this courtyard was already small and there was no other place to stay. If she moved away, how could she let the young lady live here alone? Thinking of this, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay then."
Just at this moment, someone shouted in the yard. Chun Xing heard the voice and ran out quickly. Soon, she walked into the house carrying a food box.
"Miss, this is the dinner that the prince sent over. I will serve you."
"No, just set the table and help me to the side. I'll eat with you."
Chun Xing glanced at the distance between the table and the bed, nodded, and after placing the food neatly on the table, she quickly came over to help Luo Shuiyao stand up and sit down. She hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down next to Luo Shuiyao. As soon as she sat down, she picked up her chopsticks and pretended to serve Luo Shuiyao.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao immediately refused, "It's just the two of us now, there's no need to be so formal. Let's eat quickly."
Who would have thought that as soon as she took a bite of the food, Luo Shuiyao's eyes would suddenly light up. Although the dish looked ordinary, the taste was unexpectedly outstanding.
Seeing Luo Shuiyao pick up her chopsticks and take a bite, Chun Xing was also very tired after a busy day. She was so hungry that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Then she picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. In an instant, her eyes lit up. After chewing the food in her mouth in a few bites, she praised with surprise, "This food looks ordinary, but how can it taste so good? It tastes as good as the special food cooked in the mansion!"
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, agreeing very much with what Chun Xing said, and then picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The taste of this dish was very different from the previous one, but it was equally delicious.
Chun Xing saw Luo Shuiyao's satisfied and happy expression as she ate, and knew she was extremely happy with the meal. She couldn't help but admire her, "The Crown Prince is truly amazing. In this remote place, he was able to find such a skilled chef! The Crown Prince truly cares deeply for you, young lady. I think he must treat you like his own sister. I've been in the mansion for many years, and in the past, the Crown Prince always had a cold face, looking distant. Who could have expected him to be so considerate now?"
Then he sighed, "I wonder which young lady will be lucky enough to marry the prince in the future."
The person who was treated as the lucky one and like a real sister just kept silent and ate the food quietly.
Chun Xing had originally intended to tell Luo Shuiyao how much the prince valued her, and she had been talking non-stop for quite a while. But when she saw that Luo Shuiyao wasn't responding at all, she felt bored and bored. She wasn't one for chattering, and now she fell silent, so she could only remain quiet and eat with Luo Shuiyao in silence.
While eating, she did not forget to glance at Luo Shuiyao out of the corner of her eye. In her heart, she really felt that the prince was very good to her young lady. Not only did he escort her all the way back to the capital, but he also showed great care and attention along the way. There have been rumors that the prince was cold-hearted. She wondered if he would keep his good deeds secret. The young lady would live in the mansion for a long time in the future, and it would not be a bad thing to be valued by the prince. She had thought of taking this opportunity to bring the young lady and the prince closer, but unexpectedly, judging from the young lady's attitude, it seemed that she had no such intention.
Luo Shuiyao didn't care about Chun Xing's gaze. After filling her stomach, she let Chun Xing help her lie back on the bed to rest.
Chun Xing finished the rest of the meal, cleared the dishes, and washed them carefully in the small kitchen before returning to the house. It was already late at night, and seeing that Luo Shuiyao seemed to be asleep, she said nothing more. She tiptoed to the oil lamp, blew out the light, and tiptoed to the outside of the bed, where she quietly fell asleep.
