When Xiao Qingran woke up again, it was already noon of the next day. Li'er had already made porridge and was waiting for her to wake up.

Just as she regained her consciousness, she was surrounded by the fragrance. "It smells so good. Li'er, your cooking skills are really getting better and better."

She struggled to sit up, feeling pain in her entire body. It was a little cold, so she continued, "Li'er, it's almost autumn. This blanket is too thin, why don't you change it for a new one today …"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was stuck in her throat. The scene in front of her eyes made her feel that it was a bit familiar. Duke Han's Mansion? Why am I here? "

Riko used the temperature of the porridge to walk over helplessly while feeling pained. "You don't even have the face to say that. You aren't young anymore. How come you don't even know that you have a fever?"

"Fever? "Me?" Xiao Qing was stunned and could not believe it at all. "How is that possible?"

His physical fitness had always been very good. Even his injuries from last time had recovered very quickly without a fever.

"What's impossible about that? Miss is a person who eats five grains and no matter what, people will get sick." Riko stood beside the bed. She did not immediately pass over the congee. Instead, she said with a voice that sounded like she was negotiating, "Miss, please promise me first. If you find any other discomfort in the future, you must tell me immediately."

The little miss didn't know how nervous she was last night. She was the little miss's personal maid, and yet she didn't even know that she was sick or had a fever. If the mother and the others knew about this, she would definitely be scolded.

Xiao Qingran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking that her ears were probably going to get calluses for a period of time, she laughed and said: "Alright, alright, I got it. Can you give me the bowl first? I'm hungry."

Ri-er acted pretentiously as she glared at her, putting on a dignified look, "Miss, if there's a next time, Ri-er will starve you for three days and three nights, and not give you food to eat!"

"Little girl, aren't you being too cruel?" Xiao Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It would be better if you were a bit more ruthless, it would save the Miss from committing another offense." Riko humphed twice as she handed over the bowl of porridge. Watching her swallow the porridge in small bites, she began to explain the events of last night. "When His Highness went to find Miss in the middle of the night, he found out that you had a fever and brought you back to your residence.

The hand holding the bowl of porridge suddenly stopped. With a seemingly calm tone, she said, "Is that so?"

"That's right. When the prince left, he said that the young miss' fever had not completely subsided. Just in case it was better to stay at the mansion for a few more days."

Actually, Miss hadn't been at the General's Estate for too long, but now that she had returned, Miss had stayed at the Prince's Estate longer than even the General's Estate had.

Xiao Qingran's eyes flashed and swallowed the remaining porridge. "We shouldn't disturb that man when he's busy with work. I'm fine now. After you go find Liu Suifeng and get the prescription, we'll …"

"So what if you guys did?" Su Qian Han pushed the door open and entered, anger in his eyes.

It wasn't easy for him to finish all the trivial matters, so he wanted to come over to see how she was doing. However, right after coming over, he heard her say that she wanted to leave. Did she really think he had no temper?

"Your Highness." Upon seeing this person, Riko gave a slight bow before tactfully retreating out of the room.

He unnaturally looked away before stealthily taking a deep breath and turning back to look at her again: "Prince, don't misunderstand. I am very grateful to you for helping me reduce my fever last night. I just feel that there are too many things on Prince's side. If I were to stay here, I might …"

"Stay!" These two words were left behind by Su Qianhan.

Xiao Qing Ran's fingers stiffened as her pale lips curled up reluctantly as she consulted with him, "Actually, I'm fine now. Prince, you don't have to worry about me. Furthermore, the General's Estate isn't too far away from here. There's nothing to be worried about. Liu Suifeng's medical skills …"

With a "peng" sound, he suddenly reached his hand and smashed against the wall, tightly holding her tightly in front of his chest while looking down at her, which gave others a feeling of oppression.

Xiao Qingran was startled at first, but just as she was about to push him away with her brows knitted, she heard the man speak in a somewhat repressed voice: "Qingqing, you had better not test this duke's patience. This prince will say it again, you stay!"

Xiao Qing Ran opened her mouth. She wasn't sure if it was really due to the illness or not. If it was in the past, she would have already been angered by this person. However, at this moment, other than going dumb, she suddenly felt wronged: "What are you doing?"

She didn't notice that her weak and weak appearance coupled with her pair of clear yet unthreatening eyes gave off a coquettish feeling when she spoke those words.

Su Qianhan was also stunned. His heart trembled as he suddenly recalled what Liu Suifeng had said last night. His eyes darkened as he retracted his hand and softly said, "I'm sorry."

This was the first time he apologized. This caused Xiao Qingyan to be shocked and confused at the same time.

The man took a deep breath and planned to use as gentle a tone as possible to speak to her: "There are too many things in your residence, the wound just happens to be not long and you're also sick and have a fever. If you return to your residence, I won't be able to take care of everything, why not stay in my mansion, I can also look after you at all times."

Xiao Qingxi pursed her lips, as if his words of 'I'm sorry' had disturbed her. She closed her eyes and unconsciously lowered her voice: "I was afraid that Miss Feng would misunderstand."

"When did you learn to see other people's faces?" Su Qianhan lowered his voice as he stared at her, "Is the judgement of an outsider so important?"

Xiao Qing's body stiffened as the hand holding the blanket tightened around her.

That's right, she had always been doing things her own way. As long as she acted according to her will, how could she care about the feelings of others? Everything was just as it should be.

Perhaps his words had sobered her up, or perhaps this man only addressed Feng Xi'er as an "outsider" with two sentences. The haze that had hung over her for the past two days immediately vanished.

"Xiao Yan will probably cause trouble for me in the next two days. Could it be that no one is keeping an eye on the General's Estate? Can you help me by sending someone to inform Big Bro?"

Although he didn't know if Xiao Jin Qing's feelings towards him were true or false, he would still help out with this small matter.

"This King is over there, so you don't have to worry about anything." Su Qian Han stretched out his hand and brushed away the hair on her forehead, then pressed it against her forehead.

The man's large hands came into contact with her body. Within the thick skin, there was warmth. Xiao Qingyi felt a little comfortable as she unconsciously closed her eyes.

She hadn't felt this way for a long time. Ever since then, she had gotten used to being by herself. She would not ask anyone for help, and would shoulder all the responsibilities by herself.

In modern times, she had no one to call for help, and in this place, she could not ask for help.

Sometimes, Xiao Qing Ran felt that she was a very sad person because after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have been fighting alone from the very beginning. Sometimes, Xiao Qing Ran felt that she was a very sad person because after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have been fighting alone from the very beginning.

After being tapped on the forehead, Xiao Qing suddenly blinked her eyes and came back to her senses.

The man's deep and comforting voice sounded, "Didn't This King tell you not to think too much into it? Don't show that expression. Don't worry, This King will bear that burden for you no matter what."

Xiao Qingyi did not nod or shake her head. Instead, she stared at him in a daze and spoke with a very soft voice: "Really?"

There was a hint of confusion in her tone, as if she was half asleep and half awake.

Su Qianhan had never seen her like this. She was both soft-hearted and a little heartbroken at the same time.

The deeper he got in contact with her, the more he felt that the person before him had always been fighting valiantly by himself. No one knew just how weak she was.

"Yes." He lowered his head halfway, and looked her straight in the eyes: "As long as you are willing, this king will always be by your side."

She closed her eyes and felt that her eyelids were too heavy, like an infant seeking protection from an adult. She leaned into the man's embrace. "I'm cold ~"

Although Su Qian Han didn't get her answer, he was very happy about her dependence. He held her in his arms, pulled down the blanket and covered her with it, and just like that, he hugged her while sitting down. He blocked her forehead with his other hand and covered his palms with all the gentleness from her eyes.

She tightly wrapped her blanket around herself and closed her eyes like a small animal without the power to resist. However, Su Qianhan felt a heavy weight on his chest and then lowered his head. She had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Su Qian Han looked at her harmless side view and felt his heart filling up, as though something gentle was about to spill out. He was reluctant to let this emotion pass, so he moved even more carefully, as though he hoped that she could sleep in his embrace forever.

The man lowered his head and imprinted a wet kiss on her forehead with utmost piety. He deeply said the word "love", "Qingqing, this king will not let you suffer even the slightest bit."

When Liu Suifeng came to deliver the soup in the evening, Su Qianhan was still holding her in that position.

The person in her embrace was sleeping soundly. This posture did not make her feel uncomfortable at all. Even her eyebrows revealed a sense of tranquility. She had slept very well and did not have any nightmares.

As soon as Liu Suifeng entered the door, he saw a man staring at the person in his embrace with an 'infatuated' look. He did not hide his expression at all, "Cough, cough ~"

He put his fist into his mouth and faked a cough, wanting to get that person to pay attention. However, Su Qianhan ignored him as if she didn't hear him.

Liu Suifeng pursed his lips and coughed loudly.

Su Qianhan frowned, dissatisfied with the person who had interrupted him. "You will wake her up."

Liu Suifeng glared at her and pointed at his nose with a finger, "What did you say? "I'll wake him up. Are you alright? She'll probably be able to sleep until tomorrow like this. It would be weird if I can wake her up."

Besides, he came to wake her up.
