Chapter 559 Extra - Thank You for Your Hard Work

Ye Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and he swallowed the words that almost escaped his lips.

His wedding date with the princess has been set, and Shu Tong is also the Crown Prince's consort.

What's the point of him saying those things? Not only will it cause him trouble, but if someone overhears him, the consequences could be dire.

With a forced smile, Ye Zhiyuan nodded: "I will get along well with her... You go ahead and get busy. Get some rest when you're done. I have to go to my night shift."

"good."

Shu Tong breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Ye Zhiyuan leave.

This time, the problem should be completely solved.

...

After returning to the Crown Prince's residence, Chen Ci first instructed Tang Ming to find someone to brew preventative medicine and distribute it to everyone in the residence. He then handled some urgent official business and went to Chuyun Palace without stopping.

He brought medicinal herbs and preventative prescriptions with him when he arrived. Ye Qingning was having dinner at the time. When she saw him come in, she hurriedly got up to greet him, but Chen Ci raised his hand to stop her.

"Qing'er, there's no need to be so formal. This is a medicine to prevent the plague. Have someone brew it and distribute it to everyone in Chuyun Palace."

Chu Song, who was standing behind, rushed forward and took the prescription, asking directly, "Has the treatment prescription been prepared yet?"

Just as Ye Qingning was about to remind Chu Song to be mindful of the difference between superiors and subordinates and not to act recklessly, she saw Chen Ci nod and say to Chu Song, "Don't worry, he's out too."

Chu Song visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'll go down and prepare the medicine."

Chen Ci nodded and even said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Qingning stared in disbelief at the interaction between the two until Chen Ci noticed something was amiss and coughed lightly.

"I only realized that Chu Song is a very reliable person since the last football match. I feel very reassured having him by your side."

Ye Qingning nodded, her expression blank.

Judging from the way Chu Song and Chen Ci were exchanging words just now, anyone would think there was something wrong with it, right?

Chen Ci's gaze fell on her dining table for a moment, then she touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."

"Oh..." Ye Qingning quickly raised her hand to indicate, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, has he? Let's eat some together over there."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Chen Ci sat down directly, and Xiao Die served him new bowls and chopsticks, and he began to eat heartily.

I was busy outside all day, and after returning home I had to deal with a lot of complicated matters. I really didn't get to eat a full meal.

The food in Chuyun Palace was all prepared according to Ye Qingning's taste, and some of it was even cooked by Chu Song himself, so it naturally suited Chen Ci's taste very well.

In the past, to avoid arousing Ye Qingning's suspicion, he didn't come often, already suppressing his appetite.

Now that the opportunity has presented itself, it's time to seize it without hesitation.

Watching him devour the food like a whirlwind, Ye Qingning felt a pang of pity. She imagined he must have traveled a long and arduous journey from out of town, enduring hardships and sleeping outdoors.

So she busied herself serving him food, barely eating any herself.

Chen Ci let out a satisfied burp, took a few sips of the clear soup, and clicked his tongue twice, saying, "The food at Chuyun Palace still suits my taste."

Ye Qingning smiled as she snapped out of her reverie, quickly remembering her mission: "Shu Liangyuan was summoned to the palace not long after the plague broke out, and she is currently assigned to the Shengrentang Medical Clinic. Has Your Highness visited her?"

"I've seen it." Chen Ci took the handkerchief handed to him by the palace servant and wiped his mouth. "I came from Shengrentang."

"When can my sister come back? Even with the prescription, it's still dangerous outside."

At this point, a female doctor who has lost her memory is probably not very useful, and may even be in danger.

As the female lead, Shu Tong was someone Ye Qingning naturally didn't want to cause any mishaps for.
