Ah Hong smiled slightly, walked to Jiang Huaiyu's side, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Jiang Huaiyu, you need to think this through. This is your last chance. If you eat it, you might be able to save your life."

Jiang Huaiyu clenched her teeth, tears welling in her eyes. She took a deep breath and forced herself to put the crab roe pastry into her mouth. However, as soon as it entered her mouth, the nausea surged up again, and she couldn't help but vomit violently.

Princess Ziyan frowned and waved her hand impatiently: "Ah Hong, let her go outside to vomit, don't make a mess here."

Ah Hong nodded, gesturing for Jiang Huaiyu to leave. Jiang Huaiyu stood up unsteadily and staggered towards the door. She had barely reached the doorway when she couldn't help but vomit.

Ah Hong watched Jiang Huaiyu's retreating figure, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She returned to Princess Ziyan's side and whispered, "Princess, Jiang Huaiyu has done his best."

Princess Ziyan looked coldly at Ah Hong and said, "I know she did her best, but I saved her life, so she must serve me. Ah Hong, let her come back and continue eating."

Ah Hong responded and turned to call Jiang Huaiyu. Jiang Huaiyu struggled to her feet and walked back into the house step by step. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with despair.

Ah Hong looked at Jiang Huaiyu and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Jiang Huaiyu was curled up on the bed, her face pale, with stains still remaining at the corners of her mouth.

Bai Yujing looked at her with heartache, his brows furrowed with worry. He turned to Princess Ziyan, who was standing to the side, and pleaded, "Princess, seeing Huaiyu in this state breaks my heart. Could these crab roe pastries help ease her pain?"

Princess Ziyan was taken aback, not expecting Bai Yujing to make the request for Jiang Huaiyu. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she smiled and replied, "Yujing, this is the first time you've asked for snacks, so of course I'm happy to oblige. But in Huaiyu's current state, can she eat any?"

Bai Yujing sighed and said, "She can't eat right now, but I saw a hint of longing in her eyes before she vomited and had diarrhea. If she could have a bite, it might make her feel better. It would be such a waste to waste these crab roe pastries."

Princess Ziyan nodded gently and ordered a servant to bring up the crab roe pastry. Bai Yujing carefully fed a small piece to Jiang Huaiyu. Jiang Huaiyu frowned slightly, but her eyes did show a hint of improvement. Seeing this, Bai Yujing's worries eased somewhat.

Princess Ziyan sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "Yujing, why did you ask for snacks at this time? You have always been indifferent to fame and fortune and have never been interested in these delicacies."

Bai Yujing smiled wryly and said, "Princess, to be honest, I didn't have dinner today. I originally planned to eat with Huaiyu, but I didn't expect her to suddenly feel unwell. I was starving and worried about Huaiyu, so I remembered this crab roe pastry. Besides, this is Huaiyu's favorite food, and I wanted her to feel a little warmth even when she was sick."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ziyan's eyes flashed with emotion. She gently grasped Bai Yujing's hand and said, "Yujing, you are so considerate. I used to think you were too cold to Huaiyu, but now I see that you have put a lot of thought into her."

Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Your Highness flatters me. Of course, I will take good care of Huaiyu. It's just that she is independent and not good at expressing her feelings, which led me to misunderstand her. But now that she has fallen ill, I truly understand that she has feelings for me."

Upon hearing this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Huaiyu's eyes, and she spoke softly, "Yujing, you've misunderstood. I've always had feelings for you, but I'm just not good at expressing them. This illness has made me understand a lot."

Bai Yujing felt a warmth in his heart. He held Jiang Huaiyu's hand tightly and said, "Huaiyu, don't worry, I will care for you and protect you even more. Our family must live in harmony and overcome difficulties together."

Princess Ziyan was deeply moved by the scene before her. She stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave. You all should rest well. Yujing, if you have time, you can come and find me, and we can have a heart-to-heart talk."

Bai Yujing nodded and saw Princess Ziyan off. He turned back to the bedside and gently wiped the sweat from Jiang Huaiyu's forehead. Jiang Huaiyu looked at him, her eyes filled with gratitude and love.

Princess Ziyan thought for a moment, then smiled and looked at Bai Yujing, saying, "Since Young Master Bai likes to eat pastries, then let Azi go to Yipinju to select a few exquisite pastries and send them to the courtyard. However, I think that eating pastries alone seems a bit too monotonous."

Bai Yujing quickly stood up and said humbly, "Your Highness has gone to so much trouble, I really can't accept it. Some snacks will suffice, there's no need for such trouble."

Princess Ziyan smiled slightly, her eyes revealing determination: "Young Master Bai, there's no need to be so polite. I'm doing this for your wife, Jiang Huaiyu. She hasn't been feeling well lately, and these snacks will not only whet her appetite but also lift her spirits. Besides, I'm also curious about your tastes, Young Master Bai."

Azi nodded gently, knowing that the princess had made up her mind, and respectfully replied, "This servant will go to Yipinju immediately."

Seeing that Princess Ziyan was so insistent, Bai Yujing could not refuse any longer, so he smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude: "I am deeply grateful for the Princess's care for my wife. Then I will trouble the Princess."

Princess Ziyan smiled gently, her eyes full of concern: "Young Master Bai, rest assured, I will personally oversee the selection of the best pastries for you."

Azi accepted the order and left. Before long, she returned with several exquisite food boxes. She opened each box, revealing various beautiful pastries inside, their aroma filling the air.

Princess Ziyan picked up a pastry, took a small bite, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, this pastry is indeed exquisite and delicious. Young Master Bai, why don't you try some too?"

Bai Yujing smiled slightly, picked up a pastry, and put it in her mouth. The pastry melted in her mouth, sweet and delicious, intoxicating. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The princess indeed has extraordinary taste; this pastry is truly delicious."

Princess Ziyan smiled smugly. She looked at Bai Yujing with admiration in her eyes: "Young Master Bai is indeed worthy of his reputation. Not only is he exceptionally talented, but he also has such unique tastes."

At this moment, Princess Ziyan suddenly remembered something. She looked at Bai Yujing and asked, "Young Master Bai, do you know why these pastries are so delicious?"

Bai Yujing was slightly taken aback, then shook his head: "I don't know, please enlighten me, Princess."

Princess Ziyan smiled gently and said, "These pastries contain precious medicinal herbs, which can both nourish the body and refresh the mind. I specially prepared them for Young Master Bai and your wife."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yujing's eyes flashed with gratitude. He stood up and bowed to Princess Ziyan: "I am deeply grateful for the Princess's kindness."

Princess Ziyan smiled and helped Bai Yujing up: "Young Master Bai, there's no need for such formalities. I'm just doing my part."

Ah Hong waved the pastries in her hand and walked step by step toward Jiang Huaiyu, whose brows were furrowed. Seeing this, Bai Yujing immediately stepped forward, staring sharply at Ah Hong, intending to stop her.
