Chapter 56: The good fortune that came was somewhat rotten
The person who pa.s.sed by outside wasn't just any random person, it was Xi Ning, who had just gone to prepare food for Chu Qing-Yan.
"You-Your Highness, do you have any instructions?" Xi Ning stammeringly said as she was intimidated by Xiao Xu's powerful aura.
Xi Ning's hand was trembling, which made the lid of the porcelain container she was holding jump up and down, making a 'clinking' sound. Xiao Xu wrinkled his eyebrows, looking at the pot of congee, "Is your family's master awake?”
Xi Ning immediately affirmed it, saying, "Master has just woken up. This servant was just about to bring this pot of congee to Master."
Xiao Xu said, "Then go."
Xi Ning didn't know His Highness's meaning, fortunately, she was usually quick-witted and immediately followed after him.
Turning left then right, very quickly, they arrived at a room.
Chu Qing-Yan originally was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard sounds in the next instant, she guessed that Xi Ning had returned. She expanded a great deal of effort to open her eyes and didn't think that the first thing to come into view from the curtain was the corner of a black-colored sleeve. She was slightly dazed as a cold and clear cut voice like jade stone rang softly beside her ear, "Awake?"
This familiar voice made her lose her senses for a split second. These several days, she was lethargic and muddle-headed. She felt as if her own life was like duckweed rising and falling. If not for that voice, at the moment when she was about to sink down, it would suddenly pull her up. Perhaps, if she continued to sleep like that, she would probably never see the light again.
