Chapter 142 I Really Don’t Dare to Peep at Handsome Men Anymore

He Zhaojun handed her hands to the doctor and sat obediently beside her, waiting for a diagnosis. After a while, the doctor shook her head and said, "The young lady's pulse is stable, but the radial pulse is weak, indicating that her kidney qi is damaged."

Concubine Yue frowned: "What does that mean?"

The female doctor bowed to the ground and said, "Excuse me, young lady, do you often feel tired?"

He Zhaojun answered all the questions one by one, but she still didn't understand why Concubine Yue wanted to see someone to treat her. Concubine Yue also didn't understand the reason, so she just followed the doctor's prescription and asked someone to boil the tonic medicine for He Zhaojun.

"You stayed at Ziduan's house yesterday?"

When He Zhaojun heard this, she coughed so hard that the tea in her mouth sprayed out. It took her a while to catch her breath. She then knelt in the hall and kowtowed to the emperor.

"A few days ago, there was a misunderstanding between me and His Majesty the Third Prince. It wasn't until last night...actually, early this morning, that the matter was clarified. That's why I went to the Third Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night."

Concubine Yue nodded. There was no need to ask how she got there.

"I arrived at the Third Prince's residence last night, but it was past midnight. This morning, I followed the Third Prince into the palace, but it wasn't even past midnight yet. It can't be said that I stayed at the Third Prince's residence. I haven't done anything presumptuous."

He Zhaojun looked calm, but she was obviously surprised that Concubine Yue could say this.

Concubine Yue picked up the teacup and tried to drink, then put it down again. After a while, she picked it up again, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. "Don't be afraid. I'm not a rigid person. Even if you two do have something wrong, I won't blame you."

She frowned. The child didn't seem to have any physical problems. But how come he was in close contact with the third child all day long, and she had never heard of anything inappropriate?

This morning, someone came to report that the two of them had stayed in the house for a full hour, and before they had time to be happy, the person said that it seemed as if nothing had happened, and she was really anxious.

"So, did you really not do anything last night?" Concubine Yue still found it unbelievable.

He Zhaojun kowtowed quickly, "I dare not hide anything from Concubine Yue. Last night, the Third Prince said he wanted to take a bath... I... I felt that this was inappropriate, so I stood outside the door..."

"Huh? You were just standing outside the door? No, you took the opportunity to do something else?"

He Zhaojun became even more frightened. It seemed that there really was someone belonging to Concubine Yue in the Third Prince's residence. Otherwise, how could they even know about her peeking at Wen Zitan taking a bath?

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I really only looked twice. The room was still full of mist. I didn't see anything. Really, I didn't see anything!"

Before Concubine Yue could say anything, He Zhaojun spoke again: "From now on, I will definitely follow your instructions and strictly observe the etiquette with His Highness the Third Prince. I will never do such a thing again!"

"Actually, that's not what I meant... Forget it." Concubine Yue shook her head. She was a very smart child, and she occasionally heard some shocking remarks from her.

But now it seems that he is just being stubborn, and it seems that he has no room for romance in his mind. Finally, Concubine Yue sighed helplessly: "When you get along with Ziduan...you should be more careful!"

He Zhaojun looked up confusedly and said, "Snacks? Concubine Yue, are you hungry and want some snacks? I'll get them for you." Then she lifted up her skirt and ran to the back as if someone was chasing her.

Old Lady Bai also lowered her head, finding He Zhaojun truly amusing. She nonetheless tried to comfort Concubine Yue, "Aheng, don't work so hard. You often say that younger generations have their own ways of getting along. Perhaps Zhaojun is just slow to warm up, and there's no doubt she and Sanlang will be able to support each other and live in perfect harmony."

Concubine Yue looked hopeless: "How could I have given birth to such an awkward son? And chose such an unintelligent bride?"

"I'm not suffering! My life is suffering!"
