Quick Wear: When a Delicate Beauty Becomes Cannon Fodder

The Little Princess in the Palace (23)

  Qi Guanyao acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't even turn his head to look at her.

  His dark eyes stayed on Ruan Ruan's face for a long time, and he looked somewhat gloomy.

  Then he took a sip of the medicine and blocked her lips.

  The medicine tasted bitter and felt soft on his lips. He didn't have time to feel it, so he pried open her teeth and passed the medicine over to her, slowly noticing some sweetness.

  After a short while, the two of them finished the bowl of medicine.

  Eunuch Sun, who was serving on the side, hurriedly took the empty bowl from His Majesty.

  Qi Guanyao pursed his lips, took out a new silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped her lips, which looked plump and moist after being stained with the medicine juice. He wiped away all the liquid.

  Then he asked everyone to go out and guard outside.

  After a burst of orderly footsteps, the bedroom fell into silence again.

  Qi Guanyao stood in front of the bed, watching Ruan Ruan frowning and trembling slightly, with no emotion visible in her dark eyes.

  The next second, he took off his outer garment and casually hung it on the screen beside him. Then he quickly entered the bed and held her in his arms.

  The body in his arms trembled uncontrollably, and Qi Guanyao held her tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze her into his body and try to transfer his body temperature to her.

  At the same time, he stretched out his right hand to adjust the quilt, trying to wrap Ruan Ruan as much as possible.

  Although she was still unconscious, she gradually began to sweat and her fever subsided, and she no longer complained of being cold.

  ...

  *
  Prime Minister's Mansion.

  The coachman drove the carriage back to the mansion, still unsure whether he should report the matter or not.

  Therefore, he looks a little absent-minded.

  He had just parked the carriage in a fixed position.

  When I turned around, the Prime Minister was behind me.

  "grown ups!"

  Feeling guilty, the groom knelt down subconsciously to salute.

  Seeing his expression, Rong Yan knew that he was hiding something.

  She glanced at him indifferently.

  "What happened?"  

  A faint smell of blood wafted in the air, lingering in his nose and lingering. Rong Yan had a bad guess in his mind.

  He strode onto the carriage, the blinding red striking his sight, large chunks of blood coagulating and turning dark red.

  Seeing that Rong Yan had seen it, the coachman no longer concealed it and quickly told him everything that had just happened.

  "I just sent the girl to the palace, and His Majesty came to pick her up personally. But for some reason, the girl vomited blood before she even got off the car."

  "Then His Majesty took the girl away. Now... the current situation is still unknown."

  After that, Rong Yan said.

  "Come and drive the car. I want to go into the palace!" His voice sounded unusually anxious.

  Then he got into the carriage that smelled strongly of blood, without even waiting to change to another carriage.

  The coachman stood up, got into the carriage swiftly, and was about to set off.

  But he suddenly said——

  "never mind."

  The sound coming from behind the curtain was very light, like a deep sigh.

  Rong Yan got off the carriage, looking even more cold and indifferent than before.

  "Go and ask around."

  Not far away a leaf rustled gently, and then there was no movement.

  ...

  "Is the Prime Minister all right?"

  Qi Guanyu, dressed in a dark brocade robe, came slowly, holding his fan in his hand but not opening it.

  "Your Majesty."

  Rong Yan saluted indifferently, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.

  She looked like she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

  Qi Guanyu didn't care, instead he smiled and said, "Prime Minister, are you hurt by love? Why are you so haggard?"

  Rong Yan really didn't feel like flirting with him, "What is the matter with you, Your Majesty? If that's all you want to say, I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
