Chapter Sixteen: Making Him Unable to Seek Medical Treatment

"I'm asking you a question. Why did you come back early?"

"The war situation has eased recently, and His Majesty has summoned me back to the capital to report on my duties."

Oh, and the general also asked me to bring back a letter.

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and waved it in front of her, then quickly stepped back two steps to avoid Yuan Siyin's hand, laughing heartily: "However, I must leave the palace now. Miss, please come back to the Yuan residence to find me after you have finished bathing and no longer want to cry."

With that, he turned around and left gracefully, still waving the yellowish-brown envelope in his hand.

"Remember to bandage the wound on your hand. If your subordinates see it, there's no guarantee this letter won't fall into the water."

Yuan Siyin was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Even though I knew he was joking, I still couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

She called her "Miss" in a nice way, but then turned around and threatened her. Even though she's a villainous supporting character, shouldn't she have had a much worse time in the beginning? Is that reasonable?

Yuan Siyin angrily blew her nose with her cloak.

We can't afford to argue with that, you're ruthless, garlic.

——

"master."

Zhong Heng leaped down from the roof and landed respectfully behind him.

Yu Shiyan sat under the tree with his head down, his fingertips stroking the red bean hairpin in his hand, and softly hummed in agreement.

The bright red agate shimmered and shone, making his pale skin appear even paler, and the faint blue veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible.

"Those people during the day..."

A chill ran through Zhong Heng, but he suddenly suppressed his killing intent after Yu Shiyan waved his hand.

"yes.

Oh, by the way, while you were away, Physician Liu brought medicine, and that woman too…”

"...Yuan Yayin?"

Yu Shiyan frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

"yes."

What is she doing here?

"It seems they came looking for you, but when they found you weren't there, they left the ginseng and left."

Seeing that his expression didn't change, Zhong Heng waited a while before quietly speaking: "Is she catching a cold... and delirious from the fever?"

Yu Shiyan gave a soft hum, and the sarcastic smile in his eyes vanished in an instant.

"I'm afraid it's just a weasel offering New Year's greetings, with no good intentions."

"Should we throw away the ginseng?"

"Fine, just leave it."

To prevent her from using this opportunity to cause trouble and create problems.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Yu Shiyan glanced at him, and Zhong Heng immediately disappeared.

He got up, walked to the door, and opened the peeling paint on the door, only to see the person who had come in.

...the person who came panting heavily.

"Imperial Physician Liu?"

Liu Huai responded, then hurriedly wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please go in and ask for a cup of tea."

"please."

Yu Shiyan didn't ask any further questions and stepped aside to invite him inside.

Judging from their appearance, if I'm not mistaken... they probably came from Jianzhang Palace.

Sure enough, after drinking two cups of herbal tea, Liu Huai began to complain bitterly.

"I don't know how this member of the Yuan family got injured. The Empress Dowager was furious and summoned half of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital. They waited outside for a full hour."

After a long while, someone came out and said I needed to come to Changbai Hall, and I'd have to run there, otherwise the entire Imperial Hospital would have to go on a morning run.

Yu Shiyan immediately became somewhat suspicious.

So now she wants to make the entire Imperial Medical Academy hate him, so that he will have no doctors left to treat and eventually die from his illness.

...That must be true.

Liu Huai got up and treated the bruise on his mouth with him, then rolled up his sleeve to check it over before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing serious. The few new spots are mostly bruises. A few days of rest will do the trick. Remember what I said at noon: don't get them wet."

"Thank you for your trouble, Physician Liu."

"It's alright."

Liu Huai waved his hand respectfully: "This is the duty of a subject. Your Highness need not say more. If that is truly the case, it would be an insult to me."
