The Daily Life of Consort Chun Winning by Lying Down: Qing Dynasty Transmigration

Transmigrated to become a maid in the household of the Fourth Prince Hongli, Su Yushan trembled. She realized that when Hongli later ascended the throne as Emperor, she was highly likely to become ...

Chapter Sixty-Four: Feigning Illness

Knowing this well, Doctor Yao did not expose her, but went along with it, wrote her a prescription, and then went to report back to the Fourth Master.

After arriving at the study, Doctor Yao repeated Chang Yue's words. Hongli listened with skepticism. In his memory, Su Yushan had always been healthy and wouldn't be so fragile.

"What exactly is this illness? Has the cause been found?"

"In my humble opinion, Princess Su must be troubled by something, her mind is full of unresolved worries, which is why she has these symptoms," Doctor Yao replied ambiguously, neither too mild nor too severe, presumably indicating that the Fourth Prince would make his own decision.

After the report, Dr. Yao took his leave. Li Yu secretly praised Su Gege for her excellent cooperation; otherwise, he would have been scolded.

The master must have taken Doctor Yao's words to heart. Li Yu then said, "Princess Su is probably depressed because of you. She must be feeling very disappointed that you haven't seen her for so long."

"Is that so?" Hongli snorted coldly. "She's heartless, how could she be disappointed? She'd rather I didn't bother her."

"Some people may seem indifferent, but they are actually very thoughtful. If she really didn't care, why would she go out of her way to bring you chicken soup?"

Hongli's eyes flashed with surprise, "She came to deliver soup today?"

"That's right!" Li Yu added fuel to the fire, "When I heard that Princess Jin was inside, Princess Su's eyes dimmed and her eyes turned red. She looked very aggrieved! I guess she thought that you, sir, did not want to see her, so she left in disappointment."

Su Yushan actually brought him chicken soup? So she still has feelings for him?

He only said he wouldn't see her out of spite. After hearing Li Yu recount what happened, Hongli felt remorseful. He couldn't imagine how painful it must have been for her to be turned away when she had come to see him full of hope and courage.
