Chapter 64: Something is hidden from me
According to Xiao Yuheng's arrangement, Changfeng left a group of shadow guards to stay in Paradise Island to deal with the aftermath, while the others followed the palace's large ship back to Sifang City first.
On their return journey, they happened to catch a favorable wind and arrived at the seaside of Sifang City before dawn. It took them another half a day to get back to the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Cheng Sijin came to greet him anxiously.
"You guys are finally back! I was so worried!"
Shen Yue waved her hand, "Don't worry, not a single one is missing!"
Cheng Sijin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"That's good. Are you hurt? Is the prince hurt? Princess?"
She checked everyone up and down one by one. When she checked Yongan, Yongan felt a little embarrassed:
"I beat you without any reason last time. Don't you hold a grudge against me?"
Cheng Sijin was stunned when she heard this, then burst out laughing.
"How could we, as slaves, bear grudges against our masters? Your Highness is kindhearted, which is why she was deceived. However, you must be more cautious when you return to the capital."
"Yes." Yong'an nodded seriously. "I've experienced a lot in the past few days since I came to Sifang City, and I've learned a lot. I'll write down everything you said. Oh, and I brought back a lot of shrimp. I'll have someone make shrimp wontons tomorrow morning. You can try some then."
"That's great..."
The two chatted endlessly as soon as they reconciled, and Xiao Yuheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Chen Er lost a lot of blood yesterday, and he was a little worried, so he wanted Sijin to take a good look at him.
"Yong'an, your clothes are dirty. Go back to your room and change first."
Yongan looked down at her dress and said, "Isn't it dirty? I just changed it this morning."
"If I say it's dirty, it's dirty." Xiao Yuheng frowned and came over to her and sniffed, "Not only is it dirty, it also has a stinky smell."
"What!" Yong'an was shocked.
She was captured for several days and only took a bath before the banquet. The rest of the time she was crowded in a dim secret room with other girls. Could it be that she really smelled bad?
The little princess couldn't accept the fact that she had become smelly. Her eyes turned red and she ran back to her room crying to take a shower.
Cheng Sijin looked at her back and shook her head, then turned to look at Xiao Yuheng, "Let's go, Prince. I'll take your pulse."
"No rush." Xiao Yuheng coughed uncomfortably, "Let Shen Er take a look first."
"Ah?" Cheng Sijin looked surprised.
Just now, when she saw the prince taking so much effort to get the little princess away, she thought that his cold poison was about to flare up, but it turned out that he just wanted to check the pulse of the lively Second Director?
The prince didn't say anything, just glanced at her.
"oh."
Cheng Sijin smacked his lips, came to Shen Yue and stretched out his hand, "Come on, Second Director."
Shen Yue felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, but after all, her blood had just been sucked, so a physical examination would be a good idea. So, she said "OK", rolled up her sleeves and was about to reach out her hand.
Halfway through, she suddenly realized something and pulled her hand back.
Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Wouldn't it be obvious that she was disguised as a man after just one diagnosis?
"Um, I have to pee urgently, so I won't see you anymore. Goodbye!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, she scurried onto the roof and returned to the Second Division.
Cheng Sijin's hand hung in the air for a few seconds before she smiled awkwardly, "Running so fast..."
Xiao Yuheng also frowned and sighed, "Forget it, I'll show it to him later. Come to the study, I have something to ask you."
A moment later.
"What! You mean, Shen Er's blood can suppress your cold poison?"
Cheng Sijin was stunned and subconsciously slammed the table.
Xiao Yuheng frowned as he looked at her slamming her hands on the table, then nodded.
"That's right, that's why I want to ask you what's going on. When I was young, my mother forced me to drink her blood, but it didn't work. Why does Shen Er's blood work? Is it because he's a man?"
"No."
Cheng Sijin thought for a while and said slowly:
"Men do have more yang energy than women, but this is not enough to suppress the cold poison in your body. I speculate that this Chen Er must have some rare constitution, so his blood is useful to you. However, the specific constitution can only be determined after taking your pulse."
Xiao Yuheng thought it made sense, "Then let's go now without further delay."
Shadow Guard Division II.
The first thing Shen Yue did when she entered the house was to send Zhang Dayong to the inn to retrieve her luggage.
She had made up her mind that since she had already promised Xiao Yuheng, she would just stay and be a civil servant.
If Xiao Yuheng ever changes his mind and wants to oppress her again, it won't be too late for her to escape.
Having made up her mind, she returned to her room, ready to catch up on a good sleep. However, just as she got into bed, Xiao Yuheng and Cheng Sijin knocked on the door.
"Why are you lying down in broad daylight? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Yuheng walked around the screen and came to the bed, frowning at her.
"Uh, hehe."
Shen Yue pulled the quilt up and wrapped herself tightly.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, just a little sleepy."
Xiao Yuheng frowned even more tightly, "Sleepy? Is it caused by blood loss? Let Sijin take a look at you."
"I'm not looking at it!" Shen Yue blurted out subconsciously.
After she said this, she realized that her voice was a little loud and her tone was wrong, and she smiled awkwardly.
"I'll be fine after a good sleep, really."
"No, I'm worried. Let Sijin take your pulse. It won't take long."
As he spoke, Xiao Yuheng waved to Cheng Sijin who was not far away.
"No, no!"
Shen Yue shrank back into bed in fear, "There are differences between men and women, I don't want to examine you!"
Cheng Sijin paused halfway through her walk.
Are there differences between men and women? They were so close before, and Chen Er never mentioned the differences between men and women. Did he take the wrong medicine today?
Xiao Yuheng also felt something was amiss. "It's just a pulse check. It's not considered an overstep. If you really mind, I'll send a male doctor over."
"The male court doctor is even worse!"
Shen Yue was somewhat helpless. "I am alive and well now, nothing is wrong at all. There is no need to check my pulse."
"No, you need it." Cheng Sijin said seriously, "Your blood can suppress the prince's cold poison. I must find out why."
"oops!"
Shen Yue sat up impatiently, "He's a vampire, so drinking blood is of course useful. Why are you studying me instead of studying how far his cold poison has developed?"
As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.
Cheng Sijin was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly, and Xiao Yuheng's face looked a little ugly.
Shen Yue then realized that she had said the wrong thing. She moved her butt to the edge of the bed and gently shook Xiao Yuheng's sleeve.
"You know, that's not what I meant..."
After she did this, Xiao Yuheng's complexion finally looked better.
"Well, I'm not angry. But you, it's just a pulse check, why are you being so reluctant? Could it be that you're hiding something from me?"
"No, no, how is that possible?"
Although Shen Yue denied it, she looked a little flustered. Xiao Yuheng could tell at once that something was wrong with her.
He leaned down slightly, moved in front of Shen Yue, observed her face for a long time, and then cast his gaze on her snow-white neck.
Smooth and tender, with no trace of Adam's apple.
"I see."
