Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha were stunned.

Yu Niaoniao sniffed hard, and the fragrance of fish porridge entered her nose.

She looked eager.

“Can you give me something to eat?”

Xiao Juan finally came back to his senses and snatched the bowl from Lo Pingsha’s hand.

He scooped up the fish porridge with a spoon and carefully fed it to Niaoniao.

Because he was so agitated, his hands trembled slightly.

Yu Niaoniao ate three large mouthfuls of norridge in one go.

It was really uncomfortable to lie down and eat porridge. She made a second request.

“Can you help me up?”

Lo Pingsha had just extended his hand when Xiao Juan beat him to it.

Xiao Juan helped Niaoniao up with one arm.

Lo Pingsha took the opportunity to pick up a soft pillow and stuff it behind Yu Niaoniao.

Xiao Juan glanced at Lo Pingsha expressionlessly.

Lo Pingsha immediately retreated tactfully. “I still have to brew medicine.

Goodbye!”

He raced out, no longer acting as an annoying third wheel.

Xiao Juan continued to feed Yu Niaoniao porridge.

The bowl of fish porridge was quickly finished.

Yu Niaoniao pouted, looking as if she had not had enough.

Xiao Juan silently scooped another bowl of porridge and continued to feed her.

Seeing that she was eating happily, he finally felt hungry and his stomach gurgled.

Yu Niaoniao immediately looked at his stomach.

“Are you hungry too?”

Xiao Juan felt awkward, but he still looked calm and said as if nothing had happened.

“Eat first. I’ll eat later.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t. Go ahead and eat. Just let Chun Feng or Ye Yu feed me.”

She wanted to eat with a bowl herself, but her hands were burned too. Her claws were wrapped like dumplings, and she couldn’t hold the bowl. How could Xiao Juan give the beautiful job of feeding Niaoniao to others? He said expressionlessly, “They’re all busy.”

Yu Niaoniao did not want Xiao Juan to starve, so she suggested, “Why don’t you take a few bites first before feeding me?”

Xiao Juan wanted to refuse, but his heart skipped a beat and the words suddenly changed.

“I’d like that.”

With that, he scooped up the fish porridge in his bowl with a spoon and placed it in his mouth.

After two mouthfuls, he scooped up the porridge with a spoon and brought it to Niaoniao’s mouth.

“It’s your turn to eat.” Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

wait!

She had meant for Xiao Juan to take a few bites first from another set of bowl and spoon, not to share a spoon with her!

Wouldn’t a spoon for two people be equivalent to an indirect kiss?

Didn’t Xiao Juan even know this bit of common sense?

Was he deliberately teasing her?

However, looking at Xiao Juan’s upright expression, she suspected that she was thinking too much.

With his wooden personality, how could he take the initiative to tease her?

That was impossible!

There must be something wrong with her own mind. She should reflect on herself deeply.

Yu Niaoniao thought about it and shook off those messy guesses. She silently opened her mouth and ate the fish porridge.

She did not know if it was her imagination, but she realized that Xiao Juan was especially slow this time, especially when the spoon stayed in his mouth for a long time.

Countless thoughts immediately popped up in Yu Niaoniao’s mind— He had done it on purpose, right?

He must have done it on purpose!

She did not expect him to be such a sensual person. She really could not judge a book by its cover!

Xiao Juan scooped up the fish porridge with a spoon again and brought it to her lips.

Yu Niaoniao could not help but swallow. Her mind was filled with the scene of Xiao Juan holding the spoon in his mouth just now.

How, how could she open her mouth?

Xiao Juan asked, “Why aren’t you eating anymore?”

He didn’t show it, but he was actually very nervous.

He was afraid that Niaoniao would feel repulsed. He was afraid that she would despise him.

Yu Niaoniao’s face turned red.

She opened her mouth and silently accepted the feeding.

Although this feeding method was a little shameful, she liked the taste of handsome men and delicacies at the same time!

Seeing that she did not seem to feel conflicted after eating the fish porridge, Xiao Juan immediately heaved a sigh of relief and his mood became especially good.

They finished the bowl of fish porridge and Xiao Juan felt that he had not had enough.

He had never thought that an ordinary bowl of fish porridge could be so delicious.

Yu Niaoniao was not full yet. She wanted another bowl.

But she was rejected by Xiao Juan.

“You just woke up. You can’t eat too much at once. You won’t be able to digest it.”

Yu Niaoniao could only give up.

Xiao Juan finished the rest of the food in front of her.

Lo Pingsha appeared at the right time.

He handed the freshly brewed medicine to Xiao Juan and called someone over to clean up the dishes on the table.

Xiao Juan first took a small sip of the medicine. After confirming that the temperature was just right, he brought the medicine to Yu Niaoniao’s lips.

Yu Niaoniao frowned and opened her mouth unwillingly.

After drinking this bowl of medicine, her stomach was completely full.

At this moment, Wei Liao walked in.

He saw that Yu Niaoniao had finally woken up, and the stone in his heart was lifted.

Once people relaxed, they had fewer scruples when they spoke.

“You slept for three days before waking up. Even a pig can’t sleep as well as you.”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “I slept for three days?”

She thought she had only slept the night.

Unexpectedly, three days had passed!

Lo Pingsha quickly seized the opportunity to take credit for Duke Lang.

“His Highness has been by your side for the past three days. It’s all thanks to His Highness’s careful care that your injuries have recovered so well.” Yu Niaoniao looked at the green and black shadows under Xiao Juan’s eyes and her heart ached.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Juan met her gaze and whispered, “There’s no need to talk about this between you and me.”

He was her husband. It was only right for him to do anything for her.

Yu Niaoniao realized that ever since she woke up, Xiao Juan’s attitude toward her seemed to have changed.

But she wasn’t sure if she was imagining it.

Wei Liao snorted and his tone was sour.

“For these three days, Duke Lang just needs to stay by the Princess Consort’s side.”

“I was out of luck. Not only did I have to settle so many prisoners, I still had to arrange for people to send those miners back to their places of origin.” “I still had to comfort the commoners in the city.”

“In addition, I had to get someone to send a letter back to the Imperial Capital and tell the emperor what had happened here.”

“I was so busy that I felt dizzy. I wished I could grow three heads and six arms.

In the end, I didn’t even get a good word.”

Yu Niaoniao blinked. “Captive miners?”

She felt like she had missed a lot of the plot.

Xiao Juan explained patiently.

“Yuan Gui and Princess Ni Yang are already dead. We also discovered the underground palace secretly built by Princess Ni Yang and the iron mine she secretly dug.”

“Everything was as we had guessed. Princess Ni Yang used the excuse of searching for handsome men to capture a large number of innocent citizens who were unwilling to obey her.”

“Those commoners were all reduced to miners who specially mined iron for Princess Ni Yang. The family members of Ling Hai and Ling Miao are among them.”

Yu Niaoniao quickly asked, “Has their family been reunited?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. This made her feel happier than realizing that she had narrowly escaped death herself.

“That’s great!”
