Feign Weakness And Helplessness

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, no longer spared Dong Yan a glance. After withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his head and pretended to cough twice. "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you for the past two days and I'm feeling unwell. I wanted to see you."

Only then did Su Qian remember that she had been engrossed in researching ancient books for the past two days to find a way to deal with Su Yunxian and had not returned to her residence. Therefore, she said guiltily, "I've been too busy these past few days and neglected to take care of Your Highness. Please stretch out your hand and let me check your pulse."

"Alright." Xiao Yan smilingly stretched out his hand.

Su Qian earnestly examined Xiao Yan's pulse. Feeling his pulse, she quickly fell silent. "Your Highness, the injury in your heart doesn't seem to have improved..."

Dong Yan finally understood why His Highness had been giving him meaningful looks earlier.
