Just as Mei Liang closed her eyes to rest, the sound of the door creaking open jolted her awake. Her eyes snapped open—and there he was.
Xiang Long Wei entered the room, followed by three attendants carrying items in their hands. Without even glancing her way, he gave precise instructions in a calm, commanding tone.
"You, change the sheets. You, set the clothes over there. And you, bring in hot water for her to wash."
The attendants obeyed swiftly and silently. Once their tasks were complete, they bowed low and quietly exited the room.
Mei Liang sat up in stunned silence. Fresh bedding now lay neatly on the once-dusty bed, clean clothes had been placed on a small table nearby, and a wooden basin of steaming water stood ready in the corner.
For the first time since she had transmigrated, she found the emperor… considerate.
"All right," Xiang Long Wei said as he turned toward her. "Go and change. Once you're done, I'll help you rewrap your bandages."
