Song Feiwan sighed softly, her expression filled with sorrow. "Just a little," she said. "I thought you had already forgotten me, so I didn’t dare to think too deeply about it." She paused, gazing into his deep phoenix eyes. "Your Highness, the way you treat me now feels so unfamiliar, so different from before. I naturally couldn’t associate it with you."
Xiao Yu was momentarily taken aback, then he chuckled softly. "So you blame it on me? Why don’t you tell me how I used to treat you?"
Song Feiwan blushed slightly. "Do you really want to know?"
Xiao Yu nodded, curious to see what she would say.
"Your Highness used to be very kind to me," Song Feiwan continued. "Whatever I wanted, you would always fulfill it. Many times, I only had to glance at something, and it would be sent to me."
She smiled sweetly. "It was as if I wanted the stars from the sky, and you would have plucked them for me."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Is that so?"
Song Feiwan added, "But I didn’t want you to spend too much on me; there were many things I didn’t accept. Now that I think about it, perhaps I should have accepted them. It would have given me something to hold onto."
Xiao Yu’s gaze turned cold. Based on his understanding of himself, there was only his desire to give; there was no question of whether she would accept or not. Besides, he clearly wasn’t one to indulge in female company. Did she really think he would go to such lengths for her? He had never considered it.
Most likely, she was lying.
Even if he exposed her deceit, she would probably respond with feigned innocence: "Your Highness doesn’t remember; how can you be sure what I said is false? It truly hurts my feelings."
Thus, Xiao Yu curled his lips into a slight smirk and said coolly, "Since the prince treated you so well, why didn’t he marry you?"
Song Feiwan looked puzzled. "I don’t know either. Your Highness said at the time that the timing wasn’t right. When I asked again, he wouldn’t say anything more. Could it be that Your Highness was worried about unexpected events during your campaign and didn’t want to delay me?"
Xiao Yu looked at her serious face and nearly laughed out loud. How could he not know how sentimental he was?
He had a whole repertoire of evasive responses; asking again would probably yield no clearer answers.
His interest waned slightly as he raised a finger, gesturing for her to continue grinding the ink.
Song Feiwan maintained a facade of gentleness and consideration while inwardly cursing him without pause. So it turns out that everything I said went in one ear and out the other, and now he expects me to work!
As Song Feiwan ground the inkstone, a glimmer flashed in her eyes. She covered her lips with one hand and coughed weakly a few times.
Then, she spoke to herself, "It might be because I caught a chill last night; it’s nothing serious."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Didn’t he ask?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she coughed again, this time with her eyes reddening. "Your Highness doesn’t remember that I’m weak; I understand, it’s alright."
She looked as if she had been thoroughly mistreated.
Xiao Yu scoffed inwardly. Just the day before, she had faced a ruthless assassin and could incapacitate him with a single needle; how could she appear so fragile now?
This pitiful demeanor seemed to suggest that he should treat her better than before. What a joke; how could he believe her nonsensical claims?
Daring to put on an act with him and make her grind ink was already the lightest punishment he could impose.
Xiao Yu turned his gaze away, intending to ignore her completely. He couldn’t just block his ears, but the soft coughs that occasionally broke the silence stirred a faint irritation within him.
"Enough, Princess Consort, take a rest," he said coldly.
Song Feiwan had achieved her goal and, fearing he might change his mind, didn’t dare to refuse. She quickly returned to the small couch covered with soft cushions.
"Thank you, my lord," she said.
Afterward, she pulled out a medical book from the box beside her and began to read it intently.
