Ling Qi suggested, "Young Master, Miss Xiao said it would be best to have a doctor diagnose her. Let's go to the clinic."

Chen Yuancheng lifted his foot and walked towards the Chen residence: "She said that because she doesn't know medicine and didn't dare to confirm, and also to put my mind at ease. I know my own body, and there's nothing seriously wrong. I don't need to see a doctor."

"Young master, why did you gesture for me not to ask Miss Xiao how she alleviated your symptoms? Acupuncture? Massage? Or some other method? Can I learn it?"

Chen Yuancheng raised his hand, revealing the medicine bottle he had been holding: "She gave me a medicine called an asthma inhaler."

Ling Qi scratched his head: "Doesn't Miss Xiao not know medicine?"

"Nobody said she made the medicine."

He didn't tell her the truth. He saw her with her back to him, taking out medicine from somewhere and something shorter than the woman's forearm, which he called an oxygen cylinder.

She hadn't put the basket down yet, so there was nowhere on her body to hide the bottle.

It was less like she took it out of her body and more like it appeared out of thin air.

Later, when she taught him how to use the medicine called a spray, his question was somewhat tentative.

It's just a strange-looking medicine that's only effective for relieving wheezing. If she didn't want to disclose the medicine, why would she immediately think of escaping?

Unless, she has a bigger secret hidden behind this spray that she can't let others notice.

That's why she said things like, "It's hard to explain, it will cause her trouble."

And that line, "Anyway, no one can catch me," is worth pondering.

Given her personality, she wouldn't say something like that unless she was absolutely certain.

Chen Yuancheng touched the smooth bottle, his mind filled with thoughts.

The small bottle is exquisitely crafted; with a gentle press, it can spray out a thin mist of water vapor.

He couldn't tell what the bottle was made of, and she also said that this wasn't something that the Winged Kingdom possessed.

"Young master, why does Miss Xiao carry medicine to relieve her wheezing?"

Chen Yuancheng knew Ling Qi's concerns: "Do you think she approached me with a purpose, and then used drugs to threaten and control me?"

"Although I don't want to think the worst of Miss Xiao, this is just too much of a coincidence."

If it were anyone else, Chen Yuancheng would have the same suspicions, but if it were Xiao Yunying…

"She won't."

There's no reason, it's just my gut feeling.

Ling Qi didn't care much about whether or not his young master was clever enough to be outmaneuvered by anyone. What he cared about was something else entirely:

"Young master, if this medicine can cure your wheezing, why don't we buy the prescription for a large sum of money?"

"Yun Ying said that wheezing can only be relieved, not cured."

"That works too."

"She won't sell the prescription."

Because she didn't know the prescription at all, she also said that the medicine had to be sprayed out using this bottle.

"Yunying said that when this bottle of medicine is finished, you can take the empty bottle to her house to exchange it for new medicine."

Ling Qi muttered in dissatisfaction, "Isn't this still using drugs to control the young master?"

Chen Yuancheng looked at Ling Qi with a hopeless expression: "Can't you think about it more deeply? Yun Ying doesn't want to control me; she just doesn't want the medicine bottle to circulate."

Ling Qi had only glanced at the white bottle and hadn't looked closely, assuming it was just an ordinary white porcelain bottle: "Why can't the medicine bottle be circulated? It's just a bottle."

Chen Yuancheng didn't want to explain anymore, as some things would only get more complicated if discussed further: "You just need to know that Yun Ying has no ill intentions towards me, and there's no need to ask any more questions. Also, you're not allowed to tell anyone about her using the drug on me."

"Can't the master and madam tell either?"

"I said, no one is allowed to tell."

Ling Qi said with difficulty, "But young master, many people saw you when you fell ill, and it's inevitable that some people will recognize you. It might have already reached the manor. If the madam or the old lady asks me, what should I say?"

"Tell the truth. If they ask for details, just say that you were waiting outside the door and didn't know how Yunying treated you. Just don't mention the medicine."

"Ling Qi understands."

Ling Qi was right. Chen Yuancheng returned to his courtyard, but before long, his grandmother sent someone to summon him.

Chen Yuancheng bowed respectfully: "Grandmother."

The old lady of the Chen family stepped down from her seat and pulled Chen Yuancheng to look at him carefully: "Don't bother with the formalities. I heard from the servants that someone saw you faint at the market this morning. Could it be that your asthma flared up?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, Yuancheng is fine."

"Why did you go to the market for no reason? It's crowded and the environment is bad. You haven't had an attack in so long, did someone bump into you?"

Chen Yuancheng helped his grandmother back to her seat: "Grandmother, Yuancheng is really alright."

The old lady of the Chen family frowned and said, feigning displeasure, "You won't tell me, huh? Ling Qi, you tell me!"

Ling Qi knelt on the ground and recounted everything that had happened that morning.

He remembered his young master's words, which only mentioned that Xiao Yunying had treated him and shortened the duration of his illness, without mentioning the medication given to him.
