The afterglow gradually fades. Twilight strikes, darkness swallows everything.
In the East Courtyard, the room is as bright as day, and Shen Hua's body alternates between cold and hot. She curls up, facing the direction of Cui Yun.
Cui Yun gently strokes the girl's back to comfort her.
"Was it Heir Xie who administered the medicine?"
Yingwu respectfully replies, "Yes, the medicine is bitter. When the servant fed her, Miss immediately spat it out."
Heir Xie at that time pinched the girl's chin, exerting a slight force, her mouth involuntarily opened. Three pills followed, slipped inside her mouth without giving Shen Hua any chance to resist.
Miss Shen, confused by the inebriation, couldn't help but pout from the bitterness.
However, Xie Xun fetched some sugar water prepared earlier, spoonfeeding her bit by bit.
Skilled in consoling, his movements seemed as if they had been practiced hundreds of times. Extremely proficient.
