Chapter 11: Corpse Soup

"I've already sent someone to investigate your senior sister's matter, but the priest is heavily guarded, and you still need to hold out for two days." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "It's just, your body? ”

He's worried that I'll not be able to hold on for that long.

"Your Highness, put it down, my body is fine, and I will be fine." I said this, but in fact, I already felt that my head was as if I had been hit hard, and it hurt terribly.

"Then why is your complexion so bad?" He stared at me.

"Probably hungry." I said with a grin.

When he heard me say this, he got up, went to the table behind the screen, and brought me two plates of pastries, one of which was my favorite sugar gourd.

"Eat." He looked at me with a little pampering in his eyes.

"Why is Your Highness so good to me?" I took the plate suspiciously and asked puzzled.

He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "You are the first person who dares to look at me and talk to me normally." ”

"How so? There are so many people in the palace. I shoved a sugar gourd into my mouth.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes sank: "They are always afraid, and when they see me, they are as afraid as if they see ghosts, and they never dare to look at me." ”

I was stunned, and immediately lowered my head, thinking that Aunt Zhen had said before that I had to kneel to my master in the palace, and I couldn't look at my master.

"Ji Xiaoyan, you don't have to be formal, I like your temperament, and?" He paused.

"What else?" I looked up at him slightly.

He smiled and stretched out his slender fingers to the corner of my mouth, wiping the syrup off the corner of my mouth for me.

This action reminds me of the North Forest.

"It's all eaten as a cat, these are all yours, and no one will rob you." The corners of his eyes are raised upward, this kind of smile is a smile from the heart.

"Your Highness, you look so good when you smile." I looked at him and blurted out.

He listened, stretched out his hand and stuffed a sugar gourd into my mouth with a small golden fork.

"You ate a sugar gourd, so your mouth is so sweet?" He was in a good mood and had a smile on his lips all the time.

"No, I mean it, and besides, when I look at His Highness, I feel kind in my heart!" I didn't say this to please him, but I really felt that he was kind.

Looking at this high-ranking Crown Prince in front of me, I always feel as if I have known him for many years and is a very familiar person.

With a person of his status, there is no tension in the slightest, as if he is looking at his relatives, and his heart is very happy and stable.

"Really? To tell you the truth, when I see your eyes, I feel like déjà vu, these eyes, I should have seen them. As he spoke, he stared straight into my eyes.

I immediately swallowed the sugar gourd in my mouth, then lowered my head and continued to eat.

He was silent and no longer spoke, but quietly watched as I ate a large plate of sugar gourds.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask them to prepare more." When he saw that I had finished eating, he spoke again.

"Good!" I nodded.

He seemed to think of something again: "Go and kneel behind the screen, they are coming." ”

"Hmm." I quickly licked the corners of my mouth and stood up.

It's just that this sudden sudden slam of body together, a dizziness in my brain, and a weakness under my legs, I was about to fall to the ground.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quick to see me, got up and hugged me.

"Many, much, thank you, Your Highness." I said, scurrying out of his embrace.

"It's okay, but don't call me Your Highness in the future, call me An, how about it?" He looked at me and asked.

"The people don't dare!" Although I think he is kind and has no pretensions, I can't call the prince by his name, which is too unruly.

"Why don't you dare? Ji Xiaoyan, you should treat me as your friend, right? He stared at me, his eyes full of loneliness.

This kind of look is something that no one can refuse.

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded at him.

"Click, click."

Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could speak again, footsteps approached outside the door.

The two of us tacitly acknowledged, one went back to the bed and lay down, and the other knelt in front of the screen, pretending to be like this all night.

"Click!"

As the shuffling of footsteps approached, the door to the dormitory was pushed open, and the footsteps began to approach me, soon behind me.

"Ringing ringing!"

The bell sounded again, and my brain instantly hurt, and I immediately stood up, staggered behind my grandfather, and walked towards the outside of the dormitory.

When I arrived outside the hall, I saw Aunt Zhen still waiting.

"Eh, this doesn't work, right? Today, his face is obviously much worse. Aunt Zhen stared at me for a long time and then said.

"Get some tonic soup today to make up for it, it should be able to last for two or three days." After Grandpa Sun finished speaking, he motioned for Aunt Zhen to take me away.

Aunt Zhen took the bell from her grandfather-in-law's hand, and asked again: "Today, do you still drink the "corpse soup"?" Will it be unbearable and die suddenly like the last one? ”

Aunt Zhen's words made my heart tremble, thinking about the last one that Aunt Zhen said in her mouth, isn't it Yue Yunxiang?

"Hmph, that girl is sick, her body is already weak, and she died suddenly with that decoction, this, I look tougher, it's fine, besides, if it's dead, it's dead, wouldn't it be good to burn it to ashes with the previous ones?" Grandpa Sun said lightly.

"Yes." Aunt Zhen also answered at the right time, and then led me to the house where I lived yesterday.

As soon as she entered the house, the aunt began to complain.

"Why did all this aftermath of the burning of the corpse fall on my head? The priest clearly handed over the matter to him, and he will really shirk it. After Aunt Zhen finished speaking, she looked at me again: "You people, don't blame others, if you want to complain, complain about your own bad life, die early and be born early, in the next life, have a good baby." ”

Aunt Zhen said, placing the bell towards the table, and she herself sat down on the wooden chair.

Outside the door, several palace maids came in with fragrant chicken soup and food.

Presumably, it was these things that Grandpa Sun asked him to prepare to make up for me.

"Let's all get out." Aunt Zhen waved her hand at the palace maids and motioned for them to go down.

As soon as these palace maids left, Aunt Zhen rolled up her sleeves, picked up chopsticks and spoons, and began to eat them happily.

I ate the ginseng chicken soup, four meat dishes, and a bowl of rice.

I stood in front of her, thinking to myself that I had eaten last night, otherwise I would have been hungry and growling.

"Hmph, it's a bad practice to give such a good thing to someone who is dying." Aunt Zhen muttered while eating, presumably, she had done this before, which is why she ate so roundly.
