Upon seeing this, Yu Jingchen couldn't help but reach out and wipe away the tears welling up in Nan Zhiyun's eyes.
but……
"Your Majesty, even in dreams, Your Majesty would not like me, would you?" Nan Zhiyun asked again, as if she was very persistent about this question.
"I told you last time not to talk nonsense," Yu Jingchen avoided the question and did not answer directly.
Nan Zhiyun looked dejected, but then she thought, "Wasn't this all expected? So what's there to be upset about?" So she looked away and said, "It was my slip of the tongue."
Even though she was trying to think this way, Nan Zhiyun still couldn't convince herself not to dwell on the issue. It seemed to have become an obsession; she didn't care whether Yu Jingchen was sincere or not, she simply wanted to hear an answer, even if it was false…
Yu Jingchen could see Nan Zhiyun's reaction, but he couldn't answer her right now. Or rather, he clearly had an answer: he wouldn't like her, but he felt like he couldn't bring himself to say it. So he could only circumvent it, even though he would eventually have to answer.
"Don't always cry, it looks bad, and you have injuries on your face," Yu Jingchen said as he gently wiped away Nan Zhiyun's tears.
Little did he know that his wiping would cause a problem, and Nan Zhiyun's tears flowed like a flood.
"Why is there more and more when you wipe it? I told you not to cry, why are you not listening?" Yu Jingchen's tone was relaxed, but it was hard to tell how much of that relaxation was genuine.
But Nan Zhiyun's tears just kept flowing.
"Alright, you really can't cry anymore. We just finished applying the medicine. If you keep doing this, I'll get angry later." Yu Jingchen really had no choice.
"Yes... I know I was wrong..." Nan Zhiyun's words were like someone trying hard not to cry.
Yu Jingchen couldn't do anything with her, so he simply tried to distract her. He asked again, "I remember I punished you by making you copy the palace rules before. Are you done? If you don't stop, I'll make you copy them again." Yu Jingchen was at his wit's end.
“I’ve finished copying…” Nan Zhiyun said in a muffled voice.
Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow: "Finished copying? When did you finish copying? How many times did you copy it in total? Didn't I say that if you finished copying, you should show it to me?"
"It was copied in two days. His Majesty said it should be copied thirty times, so it was copied thirty times." Nan Zhiyun didn't know why she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Yu Jingchen poked her head: "I told you to hand it in within a month, why are you in such a hurry? Then why didn't you bring it in after you finished copying it?"
"This concubine dares not approach Your Majesty, for fear of displeasing you. May this concubine show it to Your Majesty now?" Nan Zhiyun's words weren't entirely false, but they were enough to leave Yu Jingchen speechless. Of course, in the near future, this so-called "this concubine dares not, for fear of displeasing Your Majesty"... well, it will truly become the most laughable statement.
"What are you looking at now? We'll talk about it later. Besides, I told you to come and find her, what are you afraid of? Be smarter next time. How many times have I told you this? Why can't you remember? I told you to finish copying something in a month, and you finished it in two days. Aren't you just making yourself suffer? Why do you always make yourself suffer?" Yu Jingchen put his hand on Nan Zhiyun's head and ruffled it.
"All you need to do now is get better quickly," Yu Jingchen said unconsciously.
Nan Zhiyun was somewhat confused: "What did Your Majesty say?"
"I say you must be obedient, apply the medicine on time, and not neglect your health like you did today. You also need to heal your injuries as quickly as possible," Yu Jingchen replied.
Although Yu Jingchen spoke very seriously, Nan Zhiyun inexplicably felt that he didn't mean it that way. However, she didn't have the courage to ask him again, so she decided to leave it at that.
