When Hua Manman woke up, she was already back in the Prince Mansion.
She felt a severe pain in her legs, especially from her insteps to her knees. It felt as if they were being pricked by a thousand needles, a dense and constant ache.
Li Ji had been keeping watch by the bed and noticed the moment she woke up.
He immediately helped her sit up, had someone bring medicinal soup, and personally fed it to her.
Licorice had been added to the medicine, so the taste wasn't too bitter.
Hua Manman drank it all with a frown.
Li Ji placed the empty bowl aside and asked nervously.
"How are you feeling? Is it still very uncomfortable?"
Not wanting to worry him, Hua Manman forced a smile and tried to act as if nothing was wrong.
"Rest assured, Your Highness. I feel fine. It's likely nothing serious."
Hearing her true thoughts, Li Ji couldn't help but frown.
He asked in a low voice.
"Tell me the truth. Where else does it hurt?"
