No wonder his master had actually sent him over to check on her.
"It's nothing. I was ordered to come see you, miss. How could I trouble you instead?"
How could Yuan Wu's probing gaze escape Su Qiao's notice?
But she paid it no mind. Calmly, she stared at him. "I'm fine now. Tell your master he needn't worry."
Just yesterday, she had still been telling that man to go as far away as possible.
And yet...
Good heavens, he wasn't an ordinary person at all. He was none other than the Overlord.
He wasn't even an ordinary Overlord. He was an Overlord who practically controlled the entire imperial court and could influence matters of state.
444 had said that the forces under his command were so powerful that even the Emperor feared him. Even the Princes had to show him some deference when they saw him.
For a eunuch to reach such heights was truly impressive.
Su Qiao suspected that if that man hadn't been a eunuch, he would probably have usurped the throne by now.
Xiao Wu gestured to the two people behind him, who placed the gifts in their hands and a wooden tray covered with red silk on the table.
"Miss Su, these are some medicinal herbs and supplements my master specifically ordered us to give you."
After saying that, he gestured to his subordinate to pull away the red silk covering the tray, revealing ten large Silver Dollars arranged neatly beneath it.
"And this is also a small token of my master's goodwill. Please accept it."
At the words "medicinal herbs,"
Su Qiao's heart stirred.
She got out of bed and walked over to the table. Without even glancing at the Silver Dollars, she opened the box containing the medicinal herbs and inspected them.
