บท 443: A Favor

The First Prince nervously gestured for his servant to set the medicine onto the table. It was practically useless now since the Crown Princess was awake, but the tonic was still hot and could still provide her body with some important nutrients.

"Why don't we sit down?" he offered.

Li Xueyue briefly nodded her head. She pointed towards the other side of the room, closed off by a bamboo screen. "The seats there are much more comfortable," she stated.

The First Prince nodded. He directed his people to bring the medicine to the place she had suggested, before excusing his servants. 

Li Xueyue did the same and excused her servants. Usually, the servants would be wary of leaving the Crown Princess all alone, but her husband was less than a few feet away. All she had to do was scream, and he would be up in no time, sword at hand, and ready to kill.
