Chapter 66 Lovesickness, Ning'er, do you have medicine?

Pei Yanzhou almost fled in panic.

Faced with Xiao Yihan's frankness and his determination to be with her, he felt like a clown.

He is hesitant and selfish, and dares not express what he is thinking. How can he compete with his cousin?

My cousin has always been fearless. He doesn't care about what he believes in, even if the whole world opposes it... Maybe he can really achieve "one person for life", even if he is the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Perhaps, Xiao Yihan and Shen Yuning are a match made in heaven - both of them are strong, dazzling, open and upright.

This thought made his heart ache: "Does it mean that Shen Yuning and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on?"

He muttered to himself, "It's obvious that the person she has always liked is me, and it's obvious that I was the one who rescued her from the fire!"

Pei Yanzhou returned home angrily and could not sleep tonight.

——

The next day, Pei Yanzhou rushed to the military camp just after dawn.

The camp doctor on duty checked his pulse and then left.

But he still felt a tightness in his chest, as if there was a ball of foul air blocking his heart.

"Go and call Shen Yuning for me and tell her that the general is sick." He ordered Ye Feng.

Ye Feng retreated in response, and soon after, Shen Yuning hurried in carrying a medicine box.

Pei Yanzhou is the commander-in-chief of the Xuanjia Camp. He is a martial arts expert and a great tactician. Nothing can happen to him.

As soon as they met, she noticed Pei Yanzhou's dark eyes and haggard face. He looked like he was seriously ill after not seeing him for just one day.

"Doctor Shen is here." Pei Yanzhou sat upright in the chair and deliberately called her by her title.

A tall figure was wrapped in a silver-white gown, his temples were as sharp as a knife, and his hawk-like eyes were fixed on the pretty figure.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could go back to the way they were before, before they broke off the engagement?

Shen Yuning put down the medicine box and said with a bow, "The military doctor just checked your pulse and heard everything is normal. But is it an old illness that has suddenly flared up?"

Pei Yanzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't answer directly. He just stretched out his wrist and said, "Take my pulse first!"

He didn't want to hear anything, he just wanted to have physical contact with her, even if it was just doctor-patient contact.

On the other hand, Shen Yuning saw that he looked serious and had a frown on his face, so she thought he was really sick.

She quickly stretched out two fingers and placed them on his throbbing pulse.

Are you okay? The pulse doesn't seem to be that of a sick person.

On Pei Yanzhou's side, as soon as Chen Yuning's slender jade fingers touched his wrist, his breathing became heavy and he hummed softly.

"Um--"

Those frosty eyes were instantly filled with warmth. It was great that she was back by my side.

"General Pei, I don't seem to notice that you are feeling unwell." His almond-shaped eyes stared at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he heard Pei Yanzhou hurriedly say, "Doctor Shen, can you tell what the condition is? I feel very uncomfortable."

His voice was low and hoarse, his eyes dark. "Ning'er, it hurts, it hurts a lot."

Shen Yuning's brows furrowed slightly. The world is not at peace now, and war may break out at any time. Pei Yanzhou is the vanguard general, so is there really anything wrong with him?

She sat up straight and focused again, "Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable? Can you point it out?"

When Pei Yanzhou heard this, his heart felt as sweet as if it were wrapped in honey.

It turns out Ning'er still cares about me and she hasn't completely given up on me.

Suddenly, he grabbed Shen Yuning's palm, his eyes burning: "This general is in pain all over, but I can't tell where it hurts. Ning'er, can you save me?"

"Pei Yanzhou, do you need me to find Zhang Yuanpan from the Imperial Hospital for you?" Because she really couldn't make a diagnosis.

However, just as he finished speaking, Pei Yanzhou suddenly became extremely sad. "Ning'er, I'm sick. I'm lovesick!"

Shen Yuning: "..."

She withdrew her hand instantly, stood up immediately and kept a distance from him.

Pei Yanzhou ignored him and continued word by word, "I'm suffering from lovesickness. I've lost my appetite and even my deployment of troops has been affected."

"Shen Yuning, do you have the antidote? Save me."

When he said this, his eyes were vague, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

Thinking of every little thing that happened between Xiao Yihan and Shen Yuning in the past few days, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.

Shen Yuning turned away and said coldly: "If you are lovesick, then you should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Miss Chu. Why are you looking for me?"

She just thought he was deliberately looking for trouble so early in the morning.

A bitterness spread in Pei Yanzhou's eyes, "Chen Yuning, do you really think...I am so distraught because of Chu Ruyan?"

"Isn't it?"

Pei Yanzhou suddenly grabbed Shen Yuning's hand, his eyes burning, "Shen Yuning, listen, I am so distracted, it's all because of you!"

"I think of you when I sleep, I think of you when I eat, I even think of you when I'm training!"

He gritted his teeth and said it in one breath.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shen Yuning suddenly shook off his hand and said, "Pei Yanzhou, this joke is not funny at all. Don't forget, you are getting married on the eighth day of next month."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Pei Yanzhou again, "Shen Yuning, I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"I am so upset. The thought of you being with the prince is more painful than killing me."

His fists slowly clenched, and his eyes even turned red with anger.

"Heh." Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and a hint of mockery appeared in her peach blossom eyes, "Pei Yanzhou, are you crazy?"

"Don't tell me you're tired of Chu Ruyan after just a few days with her? Or... the person you like is me?"

She deliberately raised the decibel level and used provocation.

Sure enough, when Pei Yanzhou heard the word "like", he was like being struck by lightning. He took a step back and hurriedly explained: "Chen Yuning, I... I only have Ruyan in my heart. How could I like you?"

"I just feel that we have been together for many years, and I feel a little bit hard on you."

"I don't need your sympathy!" Shen Yuning raised her voice, "I'm doing well. I don't need the general to worry about me."

"If you use me as a joke next time when you quarrel with Chu Ruyan, I'll quit my job as the camp doctor."

Anger welled up in Taohua's eyes. She felt that Pei Yanzhou and Chu Ruyan must have had a quarrel, which was why she was so crazy.

There was only Pei Yan's life between them, so how could Pei Yanzhou possibly like her?

Pei Yanzhou watched the small figure leaving with the medicine box on his back. His fingers trembled and his heart became confused again.

"Pei Yanzhou, you are such a coward! You don't even dare to speak your mind in front of others!"

There was a voice in his heart urging him to be bolder and to take a big step forward to grab the person who had been haunting him.

But at the same time, another voice said: "Pei Yanzhou, wake up, you are going to marry Chu Ruyan soon, you must repay the favor of saving your life."

"Besides, Shen Yuning killed Pei Yan, and there is a deep hatred between the two families. Even if she enters the Pei family, her parents will not give her a good face."

Pei Yanzhou was extremely conflicted and felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.
