Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 868: Sympathy, no more concessions

Xiao Tianyao wanted the emperor to recover, but no one else knew about it, except for Imperial Doctor Qin who heard a little rumor. In order not to let others know his real intention, Xiao Tianyao asked Lin Chujiu to enter the palace tomorrow under the pretense of delivering his meals.

"Can you change the excuse?" Lin Chujiu was so aggrieved about the meal last night that Lin Chujiu didn't want to mention the meal at all.

"No, this reason is the most appropriate." Xiao Tianyao said righteously.

"Is it just because this reason is the most appropriate?" Lin Chujiu gave Xiao Tianyao an angry look.

He thought she has no brain? Xiao Tianyao's little thoughtfulness was not deep, as long as she was not stupid, she will understand.

"Of course, otherwise what else?" Xiao Tianyao was very calm as if he had no other intentions.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Lin Chujiu sneered, staring at Xiao Tianyao for a long time. Xiao Tianyao was not timid, and looked at her openly, without any embarrassment of being seen through by others.

Looking at each other for a while, Xiao Tianyao's expression remained the same, nothing unusual. Lin Chujiu blinked her sore eyes, and sighed: "You won!" She was defeated by Xiao Tianyao's thick skin.

"You didn't lose either." Xiao Tianyao withdrew his gaze and said solemnly.

If the brain was not bright enough, you can't figure out what he means by this.

"So, do you admit that you have selfish intentions?" Lin Chujiu's eyes lit up, and she had expectations, although she didn't know what she was expecting.

Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu, and asked with burning eyes: "What selfishness does benwang have?"

He admitted that he did have selfish intentions, but letting the world see the love between Princess Xiao and Prince Xiao was better than letting the Empress discover his motives and destroy them first, right?

"This…forget it, let's not talk about this." Lin Chujiu looked away uncomfortably.

Xiao Tianyao's eyes were too direct, she was a little scared. What's more, regardless of what Xiao Tianyao wanted to say, she didn't know how to answer it.

A smile flashed quickly in Xiao Tianyao's dazzling eyes, but he didn't open his mouth. Instead, he looked at Lin Chujiu with a half-smile. Lin Chujiu felt even more uncomfortable when she saw him like this, she wanted to say something to break the embarrassment between the two of them. But when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the Assistant Housekeeper came in, and said with a trembling tone: "Wangye, wangfei, it's time for a meal, do you want to pass the meal?" When it was time for dinner, he didn't dare to make any decisions, so he came in to inquire.

The Assistant Housekeeper asked this question very skillfully. Normally, Xiao Tianyao would only answer yes or no, or directly say that he would not eat there.

However, Xiao Tianyao didn't answer but turned to look at Lin Chujiu, waiting for Lin Chujiu to make a decision.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Chujiu was embarrassed at first. Seeing Xiao Tianyao looking over, she gave him an annoyed look.

Xiao Tianyao was not angry either, ignoring the surprised gaze of the Assistant Housekeeper, and said: "It's time to eat." Is it time to pass the meal?

Xiao Tianyao didn't ask about the latter words, but everyone presents understood.

The Assistant Housekeeper was calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart. He never dreamed that one day he would see their prince and ask for advice from others.

As everyone knows, their prince has always been domineering and authoritarian, never considering the opinions of others.

The Assistant Housekeeper thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't know how conspicuous his flustered expression was. Lin Chujiu glared at Xiao Tianyao viciously with an angry look on her face, and pretended to be vicious: "It's time for dinner, then let people pass on food, why do you ask me?" People who didn't know will thought that she was so fierce.

The corners of Xiao Tianyao's mouth slightly curved, but he quickly stopped it. He cast a sideways glance at the Assistant Housekeeper, and said coldly, "Didn't you hear what the wangfei said? Hurry up and let someone pass the meal."

"Yes, yes, yes, this servant is going to pass on the meal." The Assistant Housekeeper had never seen Prince Xiao's "strict wife" so he walked out with his legs flapping.

Lin Chujiu was even more annoyed, glared at Xiao Tianyao, then turned her face away and ignored him. Xiao Tianyao shook his head secretly, but the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.

Sure enough, he liked seeing Lin Chujiu angry more than relying on Lin Chujiu for everything.

He kind of missed Lin Chujiu who was angry but dared not speak up. Unfortunately, Lin Chujiu was spoiled by him now, let alone dared to speak out, as long as she didn't make faces at him, he would be satisfied.

Sure enough, when it came to Lin Chujiu's issue, his principles were repeatedly broken, and his bottom line was repeatedly changed.

The Assistant Housekeeper acted extremely quickly. After half a quarter of an hour, the servants brought the food. Four dishes and one soup were enough for two people.

Lin Chujiu was used to drinking soup before meals and was also used to doing her own thing. After waving the servants back, she filled a bowl with soup for herself. Just as she was about to put down the spoon to drink the soup, she saw Xiao Tianyao handing his bowl to her and said: "Thank you."

"Wangye wants some soup?" Lin Chujiu was startled, put down the spoon, and asked.

"Yes." Xiao Wang cherishes words like gold and refuses to say one more word.

"Come…" Lin Chujiu opened her mouth to call for servants, but was interrupted by Xiao Wang: "Just do it yourself."

"But I didn't say I would serve you soup." Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao with a deep sense of powerlessness.

This man never accepts rejection. He was so domineering and annoying, but she still backs down. Sometimes Lin Chujiu felt that she tended to abuse herself.

"Oh." Xiao Tianyao took back the bowl in frustration, didn't say much, just picked up the chopsticks to eat silently, looking a bit lonely.

Lin Chujiu never felt that she was a soft-hearted person. After practicing medicine for so many years, she saw too much life and death and saw too many poor people who had no money to ask for treatment. She felt that her heart was cold enough, but seeing Xiao Tianyao's loneliness, her nose was sour for some reason.

Xiao Tianyao, who was eating in silence, seemed to be haunted by an indescribable loneliness as if he was the only one in the whole world, he was abandoned by the whole world.

Lin Chujiu suddenly remembered that Housekeeper Cao once said that Xiao Tianyao grew up alone and was surrounded by constant assassinations.

Xiao Tianyao has always been alone, no better than her, an orphan.

Looking at the soup in her hands, and then at the empty bowl in front of Xiao Tianyao, for a moment, Lin Chujiu was filled with guilt, as if she had hurt Xiao Tianyao.

Thinking this man gave her clothes in the dark.

Thinking that this man carefully bandaged her wound.

Thinking that this man came back overnight to eat with her.

For a moment, her heart softened, she wanted to apologize to Xiao Tianyao, to coax him, to dispel the surrounding loneliness, but the moment she was about to act, her senses returned.

She can no longer compromise.

She has conceded so much before to the point that she had no principles. Between her and Xiao Tianyao, one side cannot always be strong, and the other side will always concede. This way, both of them can't be too much… …
