und of footsteps.The maid served the meal on a tray without even entering the courtyard. It was like feeding a dog, just tossing the tray onto the ground."Your Highness, please have your meal."The mai..."Xuan'er, are you uncomfortable sleeping with me"

At this time, there were no lights in the room, only a beam of moonlight shining through the slightly open window sill onto Nangong Ye's handsome face.

Nan Gong Ye's gaze became somewhat pitiful, like a poor little puppy all the time.

Her heart softened instantly.

She coughed lightly, her throat was just a little uncomfortable and she wanted to take a sip of water.

Qingxuan hastily got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water, oblivious to the fact that Nangong Ye was watching her from behind. The smile in his eyes was more enchanting than the clear wind and bright moon.

My ears are slightly warm.

Qingxuan drank a glass of water and turned to ask Nangong Ye if he wanted some.

Namgung Yep refused.

The reason for the refusal is simple. He can't get out of bed on his own right now. Although he has feeling back in his legs, muscle atrophy prevents him from using them properly.

During the day, he could still have help from the clouds to go to the toilet.

But now he is unwilling to let Qingxuan help him.

After all, when his cervical spine was connected properly, he had a very strong reaction there.

Just before that, after he regained feeling in his body, Qingxuan helped him to the toilet. He almost reacted.

Now he dare not drink water at night.

Namgung Yeop gave a light cough. "I'm not thirsty now."

Qing Xuan did not notice Nangong Ye's change in expression. After finishing her water, she thought of Nangong Ye's pitiful look just now, and she didn't mention going to sleep on the short couch.

She fell asleep beside Namgung Yeop once more.

However, by the middle of the night, Nangong Ye, who still couldn't fall asleep, regretted it.

A faint sweetness lingered around the tip of his nose, Qingxuan's scent. Listening to Qingxuan's steady breathing, a wave of heat wouldn't leave his abdomen.

The next day, Qingxuan woke up to find that Nangong Ye had already woken up.

Qingxuan rubbed her eyes: "You're already starting to train your arm strength so early"

At this moment, Nangong Ye was holding two jade spheres in his hands and spinning them.

Qingxuan couldn't help but be surprised.

Qingxuan: "You actually know how to use this to practice your wrist strength."

Qingxuan, after finishing her words, got up from the bed and walked to the table.

She took out two round wooden balls from the bag of groceries she had bought yesterday.

Qingxuan: "I specifically asked Fu Qing to buy these. It's for you to practice your wrist strength by spinning these two balls."

Unexpectedly, the wooden ball was not used. He directly upgraded to a jade ball.

Seeing Nangong Ye's forehead already beaded with perspiration, Qingxuan found a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Qingxuan: "If you feel too tired, you can rest for a while. After all, your body has only just recovered."

"Not tired yet," Nan Gong Ye shook his head.

Qingxuan opened her mouth.

"My Lady," Zhang Jin's voice came from outside.

Qingxuan only then slapped her forehead and remembered, yesterday she had asked Zhang Jin to catch mice.

Qingxuan immediately went to the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, Zhang Jin was holding a cage in his hand, and the mouse inside was lively and jumping.

Zhang Jin looked disdainfully at the thing in the cage, hesitating to speak. "My lady, are you really going to keep this mouse"

Looking at Zhang Jin's confirmation again and again, Qingxuan laughed: "This mouse isn't that scary."

She smiled and took the cage from Zhang Jin's hand, then placed it on the stone pillar at the entrance to the courtyard.

Zhang Jin: "My Queen, you..."

To Zhang Jin's astonishment, Qing Xuan had effortlessly taken the rat out of its cage with practiced ease. Using a red thread she had prepared beforehand, she swiftly and skillfully bound the rat to the outside of the iron cage.

Qingxuan took out a scalpel, just like before, and opened up the rat's belly.

This time, she didn't even ask Zhang Jin if the rat was still alive. After cutting open the rat's belly, she quickly sewed the wound shut.

One go.

Zhang Jin was dumbfounded.

After sewing up the wound, Qingxuan put the mouse back into its cage and threw in some dry steamed buns.

The rat, which was just disemboweled, is now eating dry buns as if nothing happened!

Qingxuan raised her head and looked at Zhang Jin, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Qingxuan: "Now do you believe in my medical skills"e realized he was outside. Nangong Ye retracted his hand that had been reaching out to the middle of the air. 。He gave a soft cough, and in a voice she alone could hear, whispered into her ear: “Xuan...
