When Shen Qi woke up, the sky was already bright. This time she actually fell asleep. After all, Shen Zhonghua tossed and tormented her to the middle of the night last night.

Shen Qi got up with her limp and painful body and heard the movement of the servant girl who was waiting for a long time hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. When Shen Qi was worrying that she would probably have to wear the damped and crumpled clothes back, the servant girl brought the fragrance clothes for her to wear.

Shen Qi was a little surprised. She awkwardly let the servant girl serve her wear clothes then she sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror as the servant girl combed her hair.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Shen Qi couldn’t help sneering. Thinking to herself: “When did you become pampered like this?”

“In the past, when you were in the wind and rain, you were wounded, you still didn’t need to do anything even if something must be done.”

“But after being tossed by Shen Zhonghua for one night, you’re lazy today?”

After she was dressed up, Shen Qi looked at the person in the mirror that depended on clothes that looked nothing like her subordinate self.

Looking at the woman with brushed light eyebrows, soft red lips, and full, beautiful, fragrant silk in the mirror. In Shen Qi’s eyes were a trace of indifference.

Shen Qi said to herself who was hidden deep in her heart and couldn’t be cut off, the previous life humble and timid self: “Do you really think of yourself as a young miss?”

The servant girls didn’t find Shen Qi’s abnormality. They only knew she didn’t like to talk or smile.

After Shen Qi got up, she planned to go to the study to serve. She was his subordinate. If there was no other instruction, Shen Qi should’ve followed Shen Zhonghua by his side. At this time, if there was no other thing, Shen Zhonghua must be in the study.

“Miss Qi......” Ling Jiao hesitated and told Shen Qi: “Wangye is not in the study.”

“Where is Wangye?” Shen Qi asked. Where Shen Zhonghua was, that was where she must be.

“Wangye had important matters to discuss with others. He specifically instructed Miss to have a good rest.” Lian Xiang was more steady than Ling Jiao and thus she said.

“Let’s go back then.” Although Shen Qi didn’t like to be in Fanghua Garden, compared to Shen Zhonghua’s Linyuan Pavilion, she didn’t want to stay even more.

After returning, Shen Qi dismissed everyone. She changed into light and convenient clothes and quietly left the prince’s palace.

Shen Qi was a dark guard and it was easily done.

After leaving the prince’s palace, Shen Qi went straight to a family drugstore. She asked the person in the drugstore to prepare the child prevention medicine for her and boil it. Then she drank it in one gulp. After she finished drinking, she hurriedly turned to leave.

The madam that helped prepare the medicine had seen Shen Qi several times. After all, she had lived again. As long as Shen Zhonghua did that kind of thing to her, Shen Qi would come to the drugstore and take the medicine. After she finished drinking then she went back.

“Avoid drinking too much child soup and harming your body......” Because the madam was also a woman, she couldn’t help but say to Shen Qi.

“I know.” Shen Qi stopped. The wind blew past the corner of her clothes.

Shen Qi’s heart was clear for how the madam didn’t say much. She only guessed that this girl must be a pitiful one with her own difficulties. The madam was the most kindhearted. She took out a bag of brown sugar candy from her bosom and handed it to Shen Qi, asking her: “The soup is bitter, would miss like to eat some candy?”

(T/N: A picture below. Not sure if it’s called brown sugar candy but that’s what I found in JP sites^^. Original is: Liuqiu tang or Ryūkyū tang...)

The kindness coming from a stranger inevitably made Shen Qi’s heart tight. She didn’t have time to respond. When she reacted, she had already run far in haste and even a thank you thought didn’t have time to say.

Was it bitter?

No.

The child prevention medicine Shen Zhonghua gave her in the previous life was much bitter.

Although in this life, she didn’t know why Shen Zhonghua didn’t let her drink the medicine of the previous life, Shen Qi herself didn’t want to be pregnant with Shen Zhonghua’s child. She didn’t dare to delusion and was no longer delusional. She couldn’t bear to suffer the pain of the previous life and let her poor unborn child taste it again.

Shen Qi returned to the room quietly and continued to pretend nothing happened.

Until it was lunch time, Shen Zhonghua called her over to eat.

Eating together with Shen Zhonghua was like Shen Qi was being sentenced. He let her eat, she just ate. He let her drink soup, she just drank soup and whatever he clipped for her, she just ate.

“Could it be this is his new hobby?” Shen Qi wondered in her heart. She didn’t understand either.

She knew to obey straight and be obedient.

Until after they finished eating, Shen Zhonghua asked her again if she had the medicine applied properly.

When she heard medicine applied, Shen Qi inevitably thought of Shen Zhonghua’s way of applying medicine. She couldn’t deceive him, just said: “Went back and fell asleep. It’s not urgent.”

Shen Zhonghua moved slightly. Shen Qi thought of what happened last night. She was afraid he would push in his avatar again. She hurriedly said: “This slave will go now to apply the medicine.”

“Qiqi.” Shen Zhonghua corrected her: “Didn’t this prince forbid you to call yourself a slave anymore?”

In a serious tone of voice, he tried as much as possible to make himself not be too fierce.

“This slave......” Shen Qi paused, then opened her mouth again: “I......”

The corner of Shen Zhonghua’s mouth floated up a smile and said: “Qiqi is not being good.”

This should mean that she didn’t tell the truth about having not applied the medicine properly.

Shen Zhonghua said again: “In order to keep Qiqi’s long memory, this time will still be this prince come to apply medicine for you.”

Shen Qi: “...”
