"Let's go."

Yan Shuo raised his eyebrows and smiled. He extended his hand out wanting to pull Yun Jiaorong away, but just as he reached her side, he helplessly pulled back.

In his heart, however, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As the sovereign of the Easternum, he could rule the world, but he was helpless against the woman he loved. In front of her, every action of his had become cautious and cautious.

So what if he was the ruler of the world? In the end, he still couldn't even get the woman he liked.

Yun Jiaorong looked at the bitter smile that flashed across Yan Shuo's face, and his heart once again hurt. However, his lips only moved, and in the end he didn't say anything.

When the two of them arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, they coincidentally met Yan Yuan who had just returned from the imperial court, and upon seeing the two of them, Yan Yuan was surprised.

"imperial uncle."

"maidservant greets Prince Jing."

"Why are you guys here?"

Looking at the two of them, Yan Yuan naturally thought of the Liu Ruoqing who had risked his life to save Yun Jiaorong yesterday.

"Rong Er said that he wanted to come and see if Ninth Aunt's injuries were better."

The three of them chatted as they stepped into the manor.

On the way to East Garden, Yan Yuan thought about how Liu Ruoqing's eyes had turned red from his touch last night, and his heart started to feel somewhat restless.

When the three of them were heading towards East Garden, they coincidentally met Xiao Yue who was carrying hot water towards the entrance.

When Xiao Yue saw the three of them, he immediately kneeled down and bowed. "This servant greets Your Majesty, Your Highness, Miss Yun."

"Rise."

Yan Shuo spoke out, his gaze sweeping the hot water in Xiao Yue's hands, and said: "What? Has your princess not woken up yet? "

Xiao Yue frowned and explained to Liu Ruoqing in a hurry: "Reporting to your majesty, because of the injuries on her hand, the Princess slept very unstably last night. She only managed to fall asleep after half the night, so at this time ?"

She glanced at the closed door and frowned.

"So that's how it is."

Yan Shuo nodded, and looked at Yan Yuan, only to see him frowning, clearly affected by Xiao Yue's words.

After a few seconds of silence, Yan Yuan said: "A Shuo, the two of you sit in the hall for a while, I'll go wake that woman up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the bedroom on the second floor. That back view was even a bit urgent.

It was obvious that he was getting impatient from the start, but from the looks of it, he was clearly anxious to see how Liu Ruoqing was doing.

Xiao Yue followed closely behind Yan Yuan as he carried hot water and entered the room.

At that moment, Liu Ruoqing was lying down on her side with her back facing him. She did not seem to be affected by any movement in the room, and was still sleeping peacefully.

Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, walked forward, and said with a calm voice, "Liu Tianxin, wake up, the emperor is here to see you."

In response to his words, there was only silence. There wasn't even a chance for him to turn back.

Yan Yuan's expression once again darkened. He came closer to her, "Liu Tianxin, get up right now."

He reached out his hand and touched Liu Ruoqing's shoulder, and that instant of contact caused Yan Yuan's expression to immediately change.

From the center of his palm, he could feel the boiling hot temperature of Liu Ruoqing's body.

He bent down and helped Liu Ruoqing up, and turned his head to shout at Xiao Yue: "Quickly go and find a doctor."

"Yes ?" "Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Yue was also shocked by Yan Yuan's look and immediately ran downstairs.

Yan Yuan frowned, and leaned Liu Ruoqing into his embrace. The boiling temperature made his brows knit even tighter.

"How can it be so burning?"

A low mutter came from the corner of his mouth as he stretched his hand towards her forehead. It was as hot as a furnace.

Her fingertip, on the other hand, was exceptionally cold.

Yan Shuo and Yue Shan, who were originally sitting in the hall, also rushed upstairs after hearing that Liu Ruoqing had a fever.

Upon entering, he saw Yan Yuan carrying Liu Ruoqing who was sitting on the side of the bed, with his eyebrows knitted tightly, as though he was worried about the person in his arms.

Yan Shuo frowned slightly as he walked forward. However, Yan Yuan did not even glance at him, but only extended his hand towards her forehead from time to time.

The hair at the sides of his temples was stuck to the sides of his face as he broke into a cold sweat.

"imperial uncle, from the looks of it, Ninth Aunt seems to be in a lot of pain."

Yan Shuo remained silent for a few seconds, before speaking.

Yan Yuan frowned and nodded. His gaze was fixated on Liu Ruoqing's face the entire time; how could he still remember the matter of how someone thought he was dirty last night?

"Doctor, hurry, hurry! Our wangfei's on fire ?"

In the courtyard, the doctor was dragged by Xiao Yue all the way up the stairs. The poor doctor was so old that his legs were about to break from running.

After entering the room, he saw that the people inside the room were all important figures, even though he did not recognize them.

And the drowsy woman on the bed was the princess that the little servant girl had mentioned before. Then, the man who carried her and gave off a noble aura was the current Prince Jing.

"This commoner greets the king ?"

The doctor was about to take a breath and bow, but was pulled up by Yan Yuan, "Quick, let the wangfei see."

He had not noticed how nervous he was at all, and he had even subconsciously acknowledged Liu Ruoqing as his legal wife after hearing the word "wangfei".

"Yes, Your Highness."

The doctor didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest as he stepped forward. "May Your Highness let the wangfei lie down flat on the ground."

Without saying a word, Yan Yuan did as he was told, but he only moved a little away from the bed, his eyes looking back and forth between Liu Ruoqing and the doctor.

"Well, Doctor."

The moment the doctor finished checking his pulse, Yan Yuan immediately asked, his anxious eyes not moving from the doctor's body for a moment.

In front of Yan Yuan, the doctor was trembling with fear, he did not dare be negligent at all.

"To reply your highness, the reason for the princess' high fever is because her hand was infected with water. This commoner will prescribe a few doses of medicine for her. Also, do not touch water again on her wounds, otherwise the infection will become worse."

"Yes."

Yan Yuan nodded and looked at Liu Ruoqing's bloodless face. In his eyes, there was a trace of remorse.

Last night, even though he knew she had water on her arm, he had ignored it in order to tease her. Now that he thought about it, he was a bastard.

His actions of blaming himself were as if he had subconsciously not even noticed it himself.

After the doctor wrote the prescription, he gave it to Xiao Yue. After saying a few more words, he left the Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xiao Yue also took the prescription and went to get the herbs. At this time, Yan Yuan, Yan Shuo and Yun Jiaorong were still in the room.

"imperial uncle."

Yan Shuo suddenly laughed, the expression on his face looked a little strange.
