NOVPUBShen Roujia glanced at the dark, murky medicinal soup in the bowl and lifted her head, drinking it all in one gulp. Xiao Fu, who had been anxiously watching, finally felt relieved after seeing Shen Roujia finish the entire bowl.
Shen Roujia wasn’t aware of the little worries in Xiao Fu’s mind. On the other hand, Xiao Fu carefully made her way to the small kitchen, where Xu Shiyi was still leaning against a pillar.
“Hey, Her Highness has already drunk it. If there’s any risk with that stuff, I won’t let you off!” Xiao Fu threatened Xu Shiyi, her gestures and words fierce.
Xu Shiyi, observing her attempt to look intimidating, couldn’t help but think how silly she was.
He pressed his lips together and spoke in a cold tone, “That was ordered by His Highness. If the medicine causes any issues, you can go straight to him.”
With that, Xu Shiyi turned and left.
Xiao Fu called after him a few times, muttering a curse under her breath, “Weirdo,” before getting back to her work.
Shen Roujia, relieved to see that An’er was fine, let out a long sigh. “You really are lucky. After all this trouble, you’re still sleeping so well.”
An’er, seemingly disturbed by the noise, smacked his little lips and tilted his small head, looking as cute as a little dumpling.
Shen Roujia couldn’t help but chuckle. “I wonder what sweet dreams you’re having.”
As she spoke to herself, she heard a loud knock on the door. Shen Roujia quickly set An’er down and rushed outside.
“What’s going on?”
A couple of eunuchs hurried over and said, “Your Highness, His Highness has returned and demands to enter.”
Shen Roujia frowned and quickly followed them. “Let’s all go.” 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Through the red lacquered gate, Shen Roujia could hear Xu Zening giving orders on the other side.
“Someone, open the gate!”
