Luo Ye saw her shy appearance rather than anger, and his heart stirred. Could she think he had done something to her while she was unconscious? Recalling that she was no longer a virgin, could she be trying to pin something on him? If that were the case, it would be a fortunate coincidence.
Luo Ye smiled and said, “Miss Yi, do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Yu Yi looked at him bashfully and angrily, then lowered her head without speaking.
Luo Ye probed further, “This is an empty courtyard in the prince’s inner residence. Miss Yi can rest assured and stay here.”
Yu Yi was stunned, then said embarrassedly, “This commoner cannot stay in the prince’s inner courtyard…”
As she tried to get out of bed, her feet touched the ground but she weakened and sat back down on the bed.
Seeing her weakness, Luo Ye was more at ease. He thought she had just awakened from unconsciousness, and the drug’s effects had not yet worn off, so her lack of strength was not a concern. He said, “The prince has invited a royal physician to examine Miss Yi. The physician said Miss Yi had been eating too little, lacking sleep, and was overly heartbroken, causing her body to be weak, which led to her sudden fainting. The physician has prescribed medicine. Since Miss Yi is awake, she should drink the medicine first.”
Yu Yi obediently nodded.
The old woman, seeing Luo Ye’s signal, quickly brought a porcelain bowl with dissolved medicine powder and moved it toward Yu Yi’s lips.
However, just as the liquid was about to pour into her throat, she gripped the old woman’s wrist with one hand and snatched the medicine bowl with the other, suddenly splashing the medicine onto Luo Ye’s face.
Luo Ye was staring at her, unprepared for her sudden attack, and was instantly drenched in medicine. Realizing something was wrong, he didn’t even wipe his face before turning to run out the door, shouting, “Help!”
