The Honor of a Concubine Surpasses That of a Wife

Mu Qingling glanced lightly and said, "I am not hindered. Thank you for your assistance, Doctor. You may leave now."

"Yes." The Imperial Doctor withdrew, and Mu Qingling stood up, saying, "I am fine. It's just that the imperial doctor mentioned something serious. Can't you see that I am perfectly well?"

Xiao Ziheng furrowed his brows. "I will cure you."

Mu Qingling lowered her gaze slowly, a hint of disappointment appearing on her delicate and charming face.

She smiled bitterly and said, "My condition is not so easily cured, Fifth Prince. I don't want to trouble you…"

Xiao Ziheng's eyes flickered.

"It's not a trouble. As long as you recover, I am willing to do anything."

"Ziheng, it's because of me that you are trapped in me…"

"No, you didn't trap me. I chose to stay."

One gentle and one resolute, their eyes met, conveying an indescribable tenderness.

"Has he not returned yet?" Mu Yuanyan gazed absentmindedly at the pear tree in the courtyard.
