a cold snort: "Joke! You're just a lowly servant, not even worthy of being compared to a dog in my eyes. I've already given you the money. As a guest here, I spent a whopping 210,000 taels to buy this...Nan Gong Ye opened his eyes, but did not answer Qing Xuan's words.

Knowing he was hungry but unwilling to admit it, she finished her meal in a few bites and pushed the plate toward him.

"Yesterday, the two toxins in your body, the one that caused your skin to rot, has been cleared. The nerve toxin has been temporarily suppressed by me. Your bodily functions have suddenly changed, and it's not advisable to eat for now, but you can today, but don't overeat."

So she took out a steamed bun, intending to let Nangong Ye only drink a bowl of porridge and eat one steamed bun with it. That would be enough.

The porridge has been left outside and is now lukewarm. There's no need to cool it further.

With the savory porridge entering his taste buds, as a prince he hadn't tasted such homely food in a long time.

While feeding Nangong Ye congee, Qing Xuan's attention was entirely on him, and she naturally noticed the emotions in his eyes.

Nan Gong Ye's emotions at this moment were a suppressed excitement.

Qingxuan saw this and silently sighed in her heart. The esteemed Prince had fallen to the point where even eating a bowl of congee could bring him great excitement and agitation.

Qingxuan was unable to offer him encouragement at this time, nor could she expose his current predicament.

Today, Nangong Ye could only eat this. After feeding him, Qingxuan didn't just sit around.

Now the maids are unwilling to enter this courtyard. Nangong Ye's condition also cannot be seen by others, and with hot water and such things, she can only rely on herself.

Qingxuan went to the courtyard and used the existing, though already loose, bluestones and soil in the corner to build a stove that could be used for boiling water or even barbecuing.

Before, she had swept up a pile of dead leaves and twigs that just happened to come in handy.

Qing Xuan threw the withered leaves and twigs into the newly built stove, igniting them to thoroughly dry the damp mud. After drying it completely, she drew well water and took out a silver tea kettle from Nan Gong Ye's room, placing it on the stove to boil water.

After being busy for a whole afternoon, she carried the boiled water back into the house and drank the pickled plums that Chun Tao had brought over this morning, soaked in water.

This pickled plum was originally something she asked Chun Tao for because she was worried that Nan Gong Ye wouldn't have an appetite. Now it seems like it's good to drink in water, sour and sweet just right.

Just as Qing Xuan was about to raise her teacup for a sip of plum water to reward herself, Nangong Ye, who had been lying in bed with his eyes closed, suddenly let out a cold snort.

What's so good about this drink

Qing Xuan's drinking motion came to a halt.

What does he mean

Just as Qing Xuan was about to speak, Nangong Ye's black eyes opened and he looked towards the five dou cabinet placed beside the screen.

In the third compartment, inside the silver canister, there is premium sparrow tongue tea.

Qingxuan immediately reacted, realizing that Nangong Ye was just complaining that she drank plum juice because it was too cold!

However, her next move left Nangong Ye speechless.

Qingxuan put the finest sparrow tongue tea leaves in plum water.

"Such a fine tea flavor is being overpowered by the sourness of the plums!"

Before she traveled through time, her favorite drink was fruit tea. Now, putting the tea leaves and plum water together makes a very nice taste.

Under Nangong Ye's wasteful gaze, she immediately poured another cup and sent it to Nangong Ye's side.

Nangong Ye raised his head and bumped into the faint smile hidden in her eyes.

Qingxuan smiled like a fawning little fox.

You haven't even tried it, how do you know it tastes bad Give it a try

Under the bandage, his brow furrowed slightly.

If this were around back in the day, let alone drinking it, he wouldn't even glance at it.

But now, he is repeatedly crossing his own boundaries in front of this woman.

He replied faintly.

Qingxuan placed the soft pillow beside him and leaned his head against it again, then gently propped him up and carefully fed him some plum-seed swallow tea.

Originally, he had already mentally prepared himself that this tea wouldn't taste particularly good. However, the moment it touched his tongue, a glimmer of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

The crisp and elegant flavor of sparrow tongue tea perfectly blends with the sweet and sour taste of plum, without clashing. The sweetness and sourness of the plum highlight the refreshing nature of the sparrow tongue tea.

Qingxuan chuckled beside his ear, "I didn't expect this tea to have such a unique flavor, did you Actually, drinking this tea is like life. If you don't try it, you'll never experience the wonderful scenery hidden within."

His gaze turned deep and intense, fixing on her. Then he voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind: "Why don't you disdain me" holding a piece of paper in his hand, his dark eyebrows slightly furrowed, his expression downcast.Such dejection was different from the despair Nangong Ye had faced when confronted with the world be...
