Xiao Qing Ran was the first to wake up. After she became pregnant, she had been sleeping for more than half of the twenty-four hours a day due to her drowsiness. Today, she was wide awake when she went out in the morning to accompany this man.

Su Qianhan had not woken up yet. Xiao Qing Qing then touched his forehead and felt that his body temperature was slightly lower before she calmed down a little.

Rio'er had already made some medicine and was waiting outside for Xiao Qing Qing to call her in.

”Miss, Zhao Qingfeng heard that the prince was sick and came to visit in the afternoon. However, when you are asleep, let him go back first.” Riko placed the medicine on the table and whispered, ”He said that he would come again in the evening to greet your highness. This is the medicine made by Liu Suifeng. The medicine on the left is yours. The medicine on the right is yours.”

Xiao Qing nodded her head and went forward to drink her medicine. Despite drinking so many times, the bitter taste spread from her nose to her stomach still made her feel nauseous.

”How is the Jin Kingdom right now?” Xiao Qing sat by the table and gulped down several mouthfuls of hot water to taste the flavor in her mouth.

”After what Miss said last time, I sent someone to check again. I don't know if Zhao Jin has changed her attitude recently or not, but she suddenly undid the restrictions in the capital. Other than the Emperor of Jin not attending the imperial court recently, everything else is normal.” Riko placed the empty bowl back on its plate and continued, ”And there's also that Emperor of Jin. I heard that he's gravely ill and in bed. Although the doctors have been watching over him, they haven't been able to see any signs of improvement.”

Xiao Qing Ran narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, ”You don't see any improvement? ”Does the imperial court prohibit any court official from visiting the emperor's illness, and the imperial concubines from entering the emperor's chambers other than that esteemed imperial concubine? Even the officials guarding the imperial palace haven't seen His Majesty in person these days?”

Riko was astonished, ”How did Miss know? I was just about to tell the young miss about this matter when I received news that it was indeed like that. Although it is said to be a serious illness, I still feel that something is not quite as simple as this.

”Heh, that's right, Zhao Jin is not trying to cover up her identity.” Xiao Qingyi let out a cold laugh.

”Miss, you mean …” That old emperor didn't have any serious illness, but he was actually imprisoned by Zhao Jin? ”

Xiao Qingran shook her head, ”It's hard to say if he is seriously ill or not, but there must be a reason why Zhao Jin is in control of the government and doesn't allow outsiders to visit the Emperor. It seems like we have to consider Zhao Qingfeng from another angle.”

If the item in Zhao Qingfeng's hand was so important that Zhao Jin had no choice but to kill him to eliminate any future troubles, then there was a high chance that this item was given to him by the old Emperor.

”I will tell the people below when these things happen again. ”Miss, the new Housekeeper Xue came to me today to say that Miss is about to give birth. Just in case we need to find a few midwives, the new servants in our residence, other than the young maidservants, are all old and coarse women. We don't know anything about this sort of thing, so we should prepare ourselves.”

”Yes, I've already met with Steward Xue. He's an experienced person, so I'll leave this matter to him to handle.”

”Alright.”

”Qing Qing ~”

The master and the servant were talking in a low voice when the man's hoarse voice came from inside the room.

”You're awake? Would you like some water? ” Xiao Qing Qing waved her hand as she poured a cup of water. Seeing this, Li Er turned around and left.

Su Qian Han rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed. He frowned as he felt dizzy. He just wanted to get sick so that Qing Qing would pay more attention to him, but it seemed that he had hit too hard.

”Drink some water first and then drink the medicine.” Xiao Qing then passed the cup to him.

The man didn't accept it. Instead, he lowered his head and drank a few mouthfuls from her hand before letting out a long sigh of relief. ”En … I feel much better now.”

Xiao Qing saw his childish look and helplessly shook her head. She turned around to get the medicine bowl: ”I hope you can maintain such a good mood when you drink the medicine.”

Currently, she wasn't drinking very well medicine, so she was familiar with the smell of some basic herbs. When Li Er brought the two bowls of medicine over, she could smell that there was an overdose of coptis in one of the bowls.

”Of course, as long as Qingqing can feed it to me personally, This King will still be in a good mood even if I drink poison.” The man in the bed had a rare glib tongue.

Xiao Qing Ran raised her eyebrows as she looked at him teasingly, waiting to see him make a joke. ”Really? People say that maintaining a good mood is good for recovery when you are very ill. It seems that I'll have to make you as happy as possible for a while. ”

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the jade spoon in the teacup on the table. She then grasped it in her hand and walked to the bed once more. ”This time, you don't have to do it yourself. I'll feed it to you.”

Su Qianhan rarely saw her take the initiative, so she was overjoyed when she heard this. ”Qingqing, you do me a favor.”

So there were so many benefits to being sick? If he had known earlier that he would use this method from the start, he would have been chased out of his room a few days ago.

”Open your mouth.” Xiao Qingyi scooped a spoonful and brought it to his mouth.
