After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 199 Drinking "Pregnancy-Stabilizing Soup"

Su Wan'er was somewhat surprised and stunned, and hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to speak, but only managed to utter one word: "You..."

Lin Qianqian looked concerned and gently held Su Wan'er's injured hand, her movements exceptionally gentle, as if she were treating the most precious treasure in the world.

She carefully took out the medicine, dipped it in a cotton swab, and applied it to Su Wan'er's hand while speaking softly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you. This wound needs to be treated properly, otherwise your hand will swell up like a pig's trotter, which won't look good."

As she spoke, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes full of teasing amusement. She continued teasingly, "If your hands are swollen like pig's trotters, the prince will be heartbroken! So, don't be afraid, just let me fix them for you."

Listening to Lin Qianqian's words and seeing her gentle appearance, Su Wan'er couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth, and her originally tense heart gradually relaxed.

Watching Lin Qianqian carefully and meticulously apply medicine to her, Su Wan'er felt a mix of emotions. She thought to herself, "This Lin Qianqian is truly gentle, considerate, and kind. No wonder the Prince is so infatuated with her. She's taking such good care of me; I had some other feelings for her before, but seeing her like this now, I feel a little guilty."

Her brows furrowed slightly, her face filled with a conflicted expression, and she pursed her lips repeatedly, as if hesitating whether to voice her complicated thoughts.

After applying the medicine, Lin Qianqian gently patted Su Wan'er's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, the medicine is done. Let me bandage it for you. Oh, and remember to come back every three days to change the dressing. Don't forget."

Su Wan'er quickly waved her hand, a hint of inferiority in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "How could I trouble you, sister? My status is lowly, how can I compare to you? I am already extremely grateful that you can help me apply the medicine."

Lin Qianqian took her hand and held it tightly, her gaze sincere and earnest, her tone full of comfort: "Sister Wan'er, what are you saying? In my eyes, everyone is born equal, there is no distinction between noble and lowly. It is fate that we can gather in this mansion, so please don't say such formal things. I sincerely want to get along well with you."

Su Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She looked at Lin Qianqian, opened her mouth, hesitated, and her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Just as she was struggling with this, she caught a glimpse of the two bowls of medicine on the table out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly remembered the important matter of the day, quickly brought the topic back to the main point, forced a smile, and said softly, "Sister, the medicine is getting cold. Let's each have a bowl and drink it quickly."

After saying that, she first reached out and took one bowl, then handed the other bowl to Lin Qianqian, smiled slightly at her, and then took the initiative to take a sip herself, praising it with a fake smile: "Mmm, it's delicious, sister, try it."

Lin Qianqian responded twice, "Oh, okay~"

Seeing this, Xiaodie quickly said to Lin Qianqian, "Miss, you should drink it too. It's good for the development of the fetus in your womb."

Lin Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Mmm." She leaned closer to smell the soup and felt a refreshing fragrance. She felt inexplicably refreshed and thought there shouldn't be any major problems, so she happily drank it.

Seeing how easily she drank, Su Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. However, the smile did not reach her eyes. She was secretly plotting something in her heart, but she maintained her gentle demeanor on the surface.

Lin Qianqian picked up the bowl of pregnancy-stabilizing soup, blew on it gently, and then drank it down in small sips. Su Wan'er followed suit and finished her own bowl.

With a gentle smile on her face, Su Wan'er looked at Lin Qianqian and said, "If you don't mind, sister, I'll bring you a bowl every day! It'll help you take care of your health."

Lin Qianqian quickly waved her hand and replied with concern, "How could I trouble you, sister? You are pregnant now, so don't overwork yourself. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet, so please don't do any more work. Xiaodie will help me with these things, so just focus on taking care of yourself."

Xiao Die nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Consort Su, it is my responsibility to take care of the Princess, so you don't need to worry. Besides, there are so many servants in the mansion, you can let them do it! By the way, you can leave it to Huan'er; she is much more attentive than me and others."

Su Wan'er frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Huan'er?"

Lin Qianqian was also taken aback, as if she remembered something, and said, "Huh? Speaking of Huan'er, it seems like I haven't seen her in a long time. Where did she go?"

Xiaodie nodded in agreement, replying, "Yes, it seems I haven't seen her..."

Su Wan'er's eyes darted away for a moment before she said, "Uh... she went back to her hometown to visit relatives."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie were both shocked and exclaimed in unison, "What!"

Su Wan'er quickly explained, "Huan'er's relative is sick. The letter from home said it was quite serious. She hasn't seen her relatives for a long time and misses them terribly. She often cries, but dares not say anything. I couldn't bear to see her so pitiful, so I allowed her to go back."

Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie exchanged glances after hearing this, then nodded repeatedly. Lin Qianqian then asked, "I see. When will she be back?"

Su Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh, probably... about a year."

Xiaodie's eyes widened in surprise. "So long?"

Lin Qianqian frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did it take so long?"

Su Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and quickly said, "Sister, you don't know, Huan'er's hometown is in a very remote place. The journey there and back is long, and her relative's illness won't get better in a short time. She wants to stay longer to take care of her, so it will probably take about a year."

After saying that, Su Wan'er seemed afraid that she would give herself away if she said a few more words, so she quickly stood up, gave a proper bow, and said, "Sister, then I will go back first and come to visit you another day."

Without waiting for Lin Qianqian's response, he hurriedly turned and left, his steps somewhat flustered, his back revealing a hint of panic.

Lin Qianqian's gaze followed Su Wan'er's hurried departure, her brows furrowing involuntarily, her eyes filled with doubt, as if she were deep in thought.

She bit her lower lip slightly, vaguely feeling that Su Wan'er's behavior just now seemed a little off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Xiaodie stood to the side, tilting her head and muttering softly to herself, "Hmm~ How strange, Miss, what do you think~" Her tone was full of curiosity and doubt.

Lin Qianqian glanced at Xiao Die indifferently without saying a word. Her gaze remained fixed on the direction where Su Wan'er had disappeared. Her thoughts seemed to still be entangled in the somewhat strange conversation and Su Wan'er's flustered figure, trying to piece together some clues from those details.
