The second Concubine

"Are you ok?" The Crown Prince asked.

"Thank you, your Highness, I'm fine." She replied.

"That's good, that's good. The miracle doctor will be here soon. I'll do all I can to have her check on you." 

Su Yan forced a smile under her veil. "Thank you, Your Highness."

When he turned his face away from her, she looked at his side profile. She wanted to say something but didn't know how it would sound. 

Feeling her stare on her, the Crown Prince shifted his gaze from the pond back to her. "The rumor is not true. Seeing your sister was a coincidence. I've been too busy lately, so I used the opportunity to ask about you. Your sister is nice, do not be upset, she did nothing wrong." 

Su Yan suddenly felt suffocated. He was lying and also defending her! She held back her tears and slowly nodded. "Yes, your Highness."
