But Nan Zhiyun heard these words differently; she thought he was mocking her.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was too out of line." Nan Zhiyun dared not offer any further explanation.

Yu Jingchen acted as if he hadn't heard and didn't reply. He naturally knew how he was seen by others, so he wasn't surprised by Nan Zhiyun's current attitude, nor did he feel that anything was wrong. It's just that... suddenly he didn't seem to like this feeling anymore.

"Hiss!" Nan Zhiyun couldn't help but spit it out.

She had barely made a sound when she became frightened. Nan Zhiyun dared not make any more noise, fearing that Yu Jingchen would punish her for it, as Yu Jingchen always acted solely on his own whims.

"I said, there's no need to endure it." Yu Jingchen's expression remained unchanged, as if he truly felt nothing at all.

Nan Zhiyun was in a panic, and with her back aching so badly, she didn't notice the difference in Yu Jingchen's tone. However, she was still somewhat shocked that Yu Jingchen would say such a thing.

However, even though Yu Jingchen said that, it didn't mean that Nan Zhiyun would really dare to be presumptuous in front of him; she still held back.

"Did you lose your mind because you had a fever for so long yesterday?" Yu Jingchen suddenly asked.

Nan Zhiyun was a little confused, simply assuming he disliked her. However, just as Nan Zhiyun was about to say something, Yu Jingchen spoke again.

"If you're not brain-damaged from the fever, then why can't you understand what I'm saying? Can't you hear what I just said?" Yu Jingchen asked.

"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun wanted to apologize again.

"Alright, what kind of things have you been learning? I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore, do whatever you want," Yu Jingchen suddenly became a little irritated.

Nan Zhiyun was somewhat at a loss. It didn't seem like she was angry, but it didn't seem right either.

Yu Jingchen didn't say another word after that, and Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to make a sound either; the entire room was eerily quiet. The terrifying silence was finally broken when the medicine was brewed again and brought in.

"Miss, let me feed you your medicine." Qianxia brought over a bowl of medicine at the right temperature.

Nan Zhiyun looked at the dark, unappetizing bowl; she really didn't want to drink it. But Yu Jingchen was right there, and she couldn't be willful, even though he probably wouldn't care about her or anything like that.

Nan Zhiyun drank the medicine that Qianxia fed her, and she almost vomited it up. It was really torturous to drink it spoonful by spoonful.

"Give it to me," Nan Zhiyun simply took it herself and drank it all in one go.

Nan Zhiyun tried her best to suppress her nausea after drinking it. She was very dizzy and felt extremely unwell. She thought she could hold it in, but unexpectedly, she still vomited in the end.

"Miss" Qianxia immediately helped her take care of it.

Nan Zhiyun was worried that Yu Jingchen would get angry and then do something to her. Not only her, but Qianxia and the other servants also thought that Yu Jingchen was angry, and some even knelt down.

"Can't even take medicine?" Yu Jingchen frowned, which made others think he was unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" the people kneeling on the ground shouted.

Nan Zhiyun suppressed her panic and tried to get up, but then she heard Yu Jingchen say to her again, "If you know it's uncomfortable and it hurts, then why are you moving around?"
