Eunuch Yuan didn't say much and walked towards the study. Shen Wan hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.

Upon entering the study and passing the screen, one could see Xie Jingyan sitting on the bed in his undergarments. He did not look well, and his eyelids had some faint bluish tinges, indicating that he had not slept well the previous night.

It's normal to find it hard to sleep in a study if you're used to a soft, comfortable bed, especially when you're alone and can't sleep well.

Yuan Gonggong was very perceptive and didn't ask any further questions.

Xie Jingyan said, "So early, why is Eunuch Yuan not serving the Emperor in the palace? What brings him to my Lingwang Mansion?"

Eunuch Yuan said, "His Majesty still cares about the Prince. Hearing that the Prince's leg ailment has healed, His Majesty was both happy and incredulous. He dared not summon the Prince to the palace, so he sent this old servant to the Prince's residence to see him."

We dare not summon Xie Jingyan to the palace...

That sounds a bit strange.

Shen Wan was puzzled.

Xie Jingyan said expressionlessly, "My leg is almost healed."

However, words are not enough. Eunuch Yuan had waited so long because he wanted to see for himself. The look on his face that seemed to say, "Please take a few steps, Your Highness," was impossible to ignore.

They've come all this way; they won't leave until they see him.

Xie Jingyan said, "Help me change my clothes."

He didn't say who should help him change his clothes. Shen Wan stood aside, hesitating whether to step forward, afraid that Xie Jingyan would not give her face and would directly show her displeasure in front of Eunuch Yuan, which would backfire. While she was hesitating, Chen Feng had already brought over the brocade robe.

Chen Feng thought Xie Jingyan was giving him an order, but when he took the brocade robe, he received a glare from his master. Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and handed the brocade robe to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan blushed deeply, embarrassed, and resignedly served Xie Jingyan as he changed clothes in front of Eunuch Yuan.

Eunuch Yuan smiled but remained silent.

On the day Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan were to have their wedding ceremony, Eunuch Yuan was also present. He personally witnessed Xie Jingyan sweating profusely after standing for only a short while. Now, he could stand for even longer, yet remained calm and composed, which showed that his leg ailment had truly improved significantly.

Yuan Gonggong returned to the palace with peace of mind.

No sooner had Eunuch Yuan left than Xie Jingyan's face turned cold. "Who gave you permission to appear before me?!"
