Everyone knows that the young county princess is a doctor with superb medical skills. Although her detoxification skills are not as good as Princess Yueyue's, what kind of difficult disease is this high fever?

The young county magistrate will surely be able to handle it herself.

Su Youran called out for a while, but when no one came, she had to come up with her own solution.

I touched his forehead with my other hand, and sure enough, it was burning hot.

What to do?

Fortunately, the wrist that was being held was her left hand, the very wrist that wore the pinkish-purple jade bracelet.

Since there was no one around, she easily used a little bit of luck points to exchange for a box of antipyretics, aminophylline, acetaminophen, and daminozide tablets, and roughly took out one and stuffed it into Chu Heng's mouth.

Regardless of whether he could swallow it or not, she had already provided the medication.

"Hmph! Whether your fever goes down or not depends on your fate!" she huffed angrily.

She lay down, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep again.

However, feeling the warmth of his hand on her wrist in waves, she angrily took out a bottle of mineral water from the bracelet's storage space, unscrewed it, and poured it into his mouth.

"Alright, alright, now that there's water, you can swallow it, right?"

Water dripped down his lips, but she simply forced two more mouthfuls of water into his mouth.

She then stuffed the bottle and the medicine box back into her storage space, angrily turning her head to glare at him.

"You can hear me, can't you?" she sneered. "You'd better let go of my hand right now! Otherwise, even if you burn to death, no one will care!"

She felt the pressure on her wrist; it hadn't loosened at all, but had tightened even more. She sighed again and softened her tone, "Hey, I've been holding it in for so long, I want to go change! You've been holding me like this, I can't go! Please let go of me, okay?"

It seems he was still making subconscious movements while unconscious.

Sure enough, she felt a slight movement in her wrist.

She was overjoyed; it turned out this arrogant guy was only responsive to gentle persuasion!

She persisted, saying, "Let go of me first, and I'll let you hold my hand again after I change! Just let go of me first!"

She was telling the truth; after most of the day, everyone needs to use the restroom eventually.

The pressure on my wrist loosened a little.

She tried to rotate her wrist, and could rotate it slightly, but it was still a long way from being able to pull her wrist out.

"Hey—loosen it a little more, loosen it a little more..." she coaxed softly.

But after waiting a while, there was still no movement.

Despite her repeated attempts and attempts to coax and appease, she managed to gain only a tiny bit of room to maneuver and still couldn't break free.

Enraged, she couldn't help but kick him to the side.

This kick woke Chu Heng up.

At first, she was completely oblivious, glaring angrily at the canopy above her head, muttering, "You damned prince, you arrogant brat, of all people to grab, why do you have to grab this old lady?!"

A voice drifted out softly, "What is tsundere? How come I don't know when I've ever been tsundere?"

Su Youran immediately turned her head and glared at Chu Heng, who had already opened his eyes. Her eyebrows shot up in anger. "Chu Heng, let me go!"

A smile appeared on Chu Heng's lips. He raised his right hand and found that he had indeed been holding her wrist tightly, which was already flushed red.

He chuckled, "I didn't even know when I gained a great-aunt?"

Su Youran's face flushed red instantly. With a burst of strength, she freed her wrist from his grasp.

She immediately jumped to the ground, took several steps back, and kept a distance from him, looking at him warily.

Chu Heng watched her series of smooth and effortless actions and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The palace servants all say that I am an unlucky person, and no one has ever dared to get close to me. I didn't expect that you would be the same."

Su Youran frowned. "I've never heard of anything like 'unlucky.' I'm just... just... I've been holding it in for too long. I'm leaving!"

She stamped her feet, gritted her teeth, and told the truth, then turned to leave.

At this moment, Chu Heng coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Su Youran paused, then opened the palace door and called out loudly, "His Highness the Crown Prince is awake!"

The old eunuch Fu De, who was standing by the door, immediately rushed forward, "Princess!"

Su Youran curtsied to him, "His Highness the Crown Prince has woken up and is vomiting blood again. Go and attend to him quickly. I'm leaving now."

Eunuch Fu immediately beckoned, and a young eunuch emerged from the shadows, respectfully leading the way for her, "Princess, this way please—"

Su Youran's lips twitched. So everyone was here? Then why did no one pay attention to her when she shouted herself hoarse?

She immediately remembered what he had just said: the palace servants all thought he was an unlucky person, so they kept their distance from him.

Are there palace servants who serve the crown prince like this?

She shook her head, unwilling to think about it any further, and followed the little eunuch out.

Chu Heng, watching her retreating figure without a backward glance, wiped the blood from his lips and said with a bitter smile, "This girl, she really has a heart of stone..."

Fude stepped forward and tenderly wiped the blood from his master's face, while Su Youran turned back over there.

She stood at the doorway, thought for a moment, and since she had already cursed and referred to herself as "Grandma," she said without any politeness, "Hey, where's my senior brother? Where did you send him?"

Fude was so frightened he almost dropped the towel in his hand.

This little miss really has no respect for elders!

Chu Heng's eyes darkened. "Naturally... he was sent by me to the Capital Garrison to investigate whether there were any unusual movements."

"Oh," she replied, without asking any further questions, and left.

So he left the city; no wonder I haven't seen him anywhere.

"Wait a minute." Chu Heng suddenly had an idea. "Your senior brother left in a hurry and has something to tell you."

Su Youran stopped and turned around suspiciously, "He... has something he wants you to tell me?"

Fu De secretly wiped away a cold sweat. This little miss really dared to talk to His Highness the Crown Prince like that.

Chu Heng nodded and gave Fu De a wink.

Fu De hurriedly and respectfully withdrew.

Su Youran turned back and stood by the door. "Then you can speak."

Chu Heng coughed violently twice, then said in a hoarse whisper, "You...you come closer..."

Su Youran's eyes flashed with wariness. "What do you want now?"

She didn't want to be trapped in the East Palace again; she was still holding back!

Chu Heng took a couple of breaths, lay back down, and sighed softly, saying in a hoarse voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Your senior brother said..."

Knowing full well that he was faking it, she still had to step across the threshold and get closer. "What did he say?"

“He said…” Chu Heng’s mind raced, “He said if I fall ill, please stay and take care of me. That’s why… I held onto you tightly before I fainted just now… I was being presumptuous, Princess, please don’t take it to heart.”

Su Youran clearly didn't believe it, but when she mentioned her senior brother, her tone softened and became more polite, "Hmph, don't think I'll believe you just because you're using your senior brother as an excuse! Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince's health is taken care of by imperial physicians and palace servants, when would it be my turn?"
