Chapter 68 (2/2)

“Oh, no! You might not know how reckless I was as a tomboy in my motherland. I’ve never been sick like this when I was in the Hwa Kingdom,” she responded confidently.

He grinned at that again. As her reaction was so spontaneous, he enjoyed making fun of her. With a gentle smile, he nodded and said, “Got it.”

“You don’t believe me, do you?”

“I do. Just eat this porridge. Your temperature might go up again.”

Narrowing her brows, she stared at him with glittering eyes. No matter how sternly she stared at him, he took her expression as cute, which made him smile.

Comforting her warmly, he kept putting the porridge into her mouth, which she took with a disgruntled expression.

‘I’m just happy with him beside me like this.’

Though she lay sick in bed, she felt so happy with him beside her.

They were having a good time together, with her eating the porridge he blew on and cooled. The moment she was biting a spoonful of porridge, someone suddenly opened the door and came into the room.

Clang!

The porridge bowl that he was holding fell on the floor and tumbled all about. Half the porridge in the bowl was spilled on the floor and made it messy. When Ruhae stood up from the stool abruptly, it spun on and fell down.

There was a heavy silence after the sharp and thick sound rang through the room.

All this happened in a flash.

The smile on Ruhae’s face disappeared, and his expression hardened suddenly.

He said reluctantly in a stiff voice, “Long Live the Crown Prince! I’m honored to see you.”

It was none other than Bipaan who came into the room.

Bipaan cast a cold glance at Ruhae first, then the porridge bowl on the floor and Kyosul with the spoon in her mouth. Her face turned white, she kept her mouth shut, and her eyes widened with surprise.

The handle of the spoon hung in the air and her hands were beneath the thick blanket. It was obvious who held the spoon a moment ago. After closing and opening his eyes slowly, Bipaan said in a low voice, “I thought I was in the East Palace, but it looks like I’m in the South Palace.Let me leave now. I wish you peace.”

To get out of the embarrassing situation as soon as possible, he offered goodbye greetings quickly. And he signalled to her with his eyes, which were plainly noticed by Bipaan.

When Ruhae passed by him, Bipaan suddenly grabbed his arm roughly. Ruhae turned to look at him. His glare met Bipaan’s cold gaze.

Ruhae opened his mouth first, “Your Majesty!”

But before Ruhae went further, he cut off his words and said, “If I catch you doing this again, I won’t sit idle. Keep that in mind!”

His voice was calm, not slow or fast but very resolute.

He stared into Ruhae’s face coldly, but Ruhae turned his face and caught his eye. He was determined that he wouldn’t avoid Bipaan anymore. That’s what he decided firmly long ago.

“Sorry to meet you like this. I don’t know what you’re thinking about my presence here, but I just came here to inquire after Her Highness as I heard she was sick. That’s all.”

“Visiting my sick wife? Is my wife on intimate terms with you?”

My wife.

Ruhae was convinced that Bipaan intentionally used that provocative expression to challenge him. He clenched his fists firmly.

Staring at him, Ruhae violently shook off his arm he was holding. After taking a deep breath, he picked up the bowl from the floor as if he shook off his arm to do so.

The nanny quickly approached and took away the leftovers and the bowl. During that short moment, Ruhae sorted out his thinking.

He said confidently, “As you know, I’m the teacher of Princess Heyjin’s prenatal education. As the Crown Princess has frequently visited her in the North Palace for a chat, I’ve come to become intimate with the Crown Princess naturally.”

“I think your point makes sense. Even when you were in a difficult situation because of the treason conspiracy, my wife earnestly appealed to me to free you.”

Ruhae flinched. He didn’t expect Bipaan to mention it.

There was a strange incident at the North Palace recently, and Ruhae was initially charged as the main culprit.
