Just as he was thinking about it, there were two slight knocks on the door, calling Xuanyuan Hao's attention.

"Come in." He lowered his voice and spoke calmly, guessing that Su Tong would not wake up for a while.

"My lord, are you awake?" The servant pushed open the door and came in, holding a small medicine bowl in his hand. "This is the medicine you asked your servant to boil with flower petals early in the morning."

As he spoke, he presented it respectfully. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a large pile of petals on the table and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, why do you still have so many petals here?"

"I'm just picking it up when I'm free." Xuanyuan Hao smiled slightly and responded. He took the medicine bowl from him and was about to signal him to leave, but found that he had a hesitant look on his face and wanted to say something else, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What's wrong?

"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, should I ask it or not?" He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and met Xuanyuan Hao's stern gaze. Knowing that Xuanyuan Hao didn't like procrastinators, he quickly continued, "These petals are used to make medicine.

What is it for?"

"Are you interested in my king's disease or in medical skills?" With a sneer, Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the medicine bowl next to him and simply turned his gaze towards him.

Sensing the dodge of the monk's eyes, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, knowing that he must be hiding something.

"Your Majesty..." The servant felt numb at the sight of him. He gritted his teeth and simply went over to tell all the rumors he had heard.

As Xuanyuan Hao listened, his indifferent expression could not help but darken. When the servant finished speaking, his face almost turned black.

"Slave... I heard that too." The servant couldn't help but flinched when he caught a glimpse of his cold expression, took a few steps back, and spoke solemnly.

He originally wanted to ask if the prince needed help from other "good medicine", but unexpectedly, he still touched the prince's sore spot.

"I understand, please step back." After waving his hand, Xuanyuan Hao said coldly, watching the servant go out and close the door, then stood up, walked slowly to the bed, and looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed -

Su Tong, I really didn’t expect that in just one morning, you had already created rumors about me!

************

This time, Su Tong had a good sleep.

In the middle of the day, she let out a sigh, turned over, and her thoughts gradually returned to clarity...

Wait! Turned over? Wasn’t she sitting? Where did she turn over?!

Su Tong was startled, and the next second she suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar room, her mind suddenly got stuck - who can explain why she was fast asleep on Xuanyuan Hao's bed?! Jiu Zhan

Magpie's Nest?!

"Are you awake?" A voice that was neither salty nor bland came from outside, attracting Su Tong's eyes. As soon as she woke up, he noticed her movements.

Su Tong looked in the direction of the sound and found Xuanyuan Hao sitting at the table in the outer room, looking in her direction with a slight smile, and twisting a few hibiscus petals between his white and slender fingers. There was also a flower on his hand.

The blue-white porcelain bowl was obviously incompatible with the picture of him twisting flowers and smiling.

"Why did I fall asleep on your bed?" Su Tong muttered to herself, jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, and then jumped directly to the table. Just as she was about to pour some water, she caught a glimpse of the concoction in the porcelain bowl out of the corner of her eye -

—

She sniffed it gently, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "You made it into medicine and drank it so quickly!"

His movements are not unusually fast!

There was no emotion on Xuanyuan Hao's face, and he turned a deaf ear to her "praise". When she poured the water and drank it, he said calmly: "You and Xiao Lu said that I am not good, have you...experienced it?

"

"Pfft..." Su Tong was startled, and lived up to his expectations by spitting out all the water in his mouth to save all sentient beings.

Xuanyuan Hao quickly turned sideways, and a few tiny drops of water inevitably stained his sleeves. He flicked it slowly and brushed the water drops away.

"Um...ahem..." He wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, his face turned red, and he didn't care that he was choked, so he explained in a panic, "I didn't say that! Xiao Lu guessed it himself!

"

When they were newly married, she had already tried to attack him with this "damaging move", and she would not use the same move a second time!

"Then you acquiesce?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows, looking at her busy appearance, and pressed forward step by step.

"Didn't you say that if you don't stay in my room for a long time, you will inevitably spread rumors that I am not favored, and others will reject me?" In desperation, Su Tong thought of this and pretended to be pitiful.

He muttered loudly.

Using this reason, you won't be labeled as a "disgraced and resentful woman" again, right?

"You..." Xuanyuan Hao was furious. He raised his head just in time to catch a glimpse of the cunning in her eyes. He couldn't help but paused and simply changed his approach. He leaned back calmly and said jokingly, "I don't like falling out of favor."

, how about I give you an honorary favor?"

Su Tong was stunned and did not react.

"You don't like the title of being out of favor, and I don't like the title of being incompetent. What a coincidence..." He murmured, then stood up from the chair and moved in front of her in an instant, grabbing the back of her head.

, he was about to kiss her.

An untimely knock on the door came to mind again, instantly diluting the ambiguity in the room.

Su Tong's face turned red and she turned her face away in embarrassment. She couldn't help but think in her mind: Why didn't she push him away when he kissed her just now?

"Who?" Xuanyuan Hao's voice dropped, clearly showing his displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the gift list for the sacrifice has been delivered. Do you want to take a look?" The subordinate outside the door asked respectfully.

Xuanyuan Hao frowned and could only signal him to come in. After casually glancing at the gift list a few times, he suddenly turned to Su Tong and smiled. That smile made Su Tong's scalp tingle.
