Lin Qianyu was slightly startled.
Slowly, "Okay, I'll come and keep you company later."
"Mhm." Xie Ruotong nodded.
Lin Qianyu reluctantly left.
Ye Qichi moved her limbs, clearly also a bit tired.
"Princess, are you tired?"
"Quite tired." Ye Qichi was not one to mince her words; she said it as it was. "I'm going to take a bath, and I'll help you wipe your body afterward."
"No need, I can do it myself." Xie Ruotong hurriedly spoke, "It's just my leg that's injured, my hands are fine."
Ye Qichi didn't bother with her.
She had soldiers bring in hot water and soaked herself in a hot bath behind the screen.
After soaking, she prepared a basin of hot water, instructed the guards not to let anyone in, and began wiping Xie Ruotong's body.
Xie Ruotong kept making excuses.
But she couldn't persuade Ye Qichi otherwise.
Xie Ruotong was blushing, yet moved at the same time.
