Chapter 1647: Scare Her Away
“So what? Even if they look similar from the back, her face is scary enough to keep even the devils away.”
“But His Majesty even took her for a walk. Could he have a crush on her?”
“How could that be possible? No way!”
“Then why is he bringing her everywhere?”
...
No one had an answer. But they all felt jealous.
Yao Zheng was extremely pissed off upon hearing the gossip.
This ugly woman was indeed resourceful!
First, she made the little prince dependant on her. Now it was the king.
She had to do something to scare her away. Otherwise, she could never carry out her plan properly.
Jing Xi stayed in the palace with the king in the morning, and went to the hospital with him in the afternoon.
Little Grape was still in a coma. It might take a little while longer for him to wake up.
Everyone was worried. They prayed for him to wake up soon.
Upon returning to the palace, Huo Yunshen felt better and went back to his duties.
He never allowed others in his study. But he brought Jin Xiaoxi in today.
There were piles of documents for him to sign. While Huo Yunshen was busy signing them, Jing Xi stayed there reading.
After a while she came to check if he would like something to drink.
“Coffee, please.”
But Jing Xi suggested instead, “Your Majesty, coffee is not good for your stomach. Would you like something else?”
“Ok,” he answered without thinking and went on signing the documents.
Jing Xi felt relieved. He seemed pretty easy going these days.
Getting out of the study Jing Xi went to the pantry. Yao Zheng happened to be there again and questioned her harshly, “What are you doing here?”
Jing Xi did not find her company pleasant. “I came to prepare something for His Majesty. Is there anything wrong?”
Seeing her reaching for the milk, Yao Zheng sneered, “Do you know what His Majesty likes? His favorite is black coffee. Why are you preparing milk?”
In fact, Huo Yunshen had to drink a lot of black coffee to keep himself awake. Because he was afraid of going to sleep.
That was the only way he could stay awake and keep himself busy, so that he could think of Jing Xi less frequently.
But that was also why he suffered from stomachaches.
“Coffee is bad for the stomach. But milk is not.”
Jing Xi did not know that the king preferred black coffee. But she knew that he could not have any coffee now because of his weak stomach.
It was her taking care of the king now. Therefore she had to pick the right thing for him.
“Are you trying to challenge him? Do you know how mad he will be if you serve the wrong thing? It would be no fun.” Yao Zheng tried to intimidate her.
That was also her own experience. She served the wrong drink once and the king was outraged.
Yao Zheng kept picking on her while Jing Xi never paid any attention. She went on preparing the drink.
Seeing Jin Xiaoxi paying no attention to her, Yao Zheng was very mad. But she said nothing and left quietly.
Jing Xi got the warm milk ready and prepared some light desserts. Then she placed them on a tray and was about to leave the room.
Right then a servant rushed in and called, “Help! Somebody help! Someone passed out!”
Then he saw Jing Xi and asked, “Can you come help me? Someone passed out, but I could not move him by myself.”
