Yu Jingchen had originally planned to punish her yesterday to teach her a lesson, but seeing Nan Zhiyun like this, he suddenly felt that there was no need to punish her...
After all, she's not the type to learn her lesson and never repeat the mistake after being punished, so punishing her would be pointless. Yes, that's exactly it, so there's no need for her to go through with it.
"Discipline? How should I discipline him? He doesn't even look at his own health. He calls the imperial physician every few days. If he's punished again, I'm afraid the Imperial Medical Bureau should be built in the Yajing Residence." Yu Jingchen took a sip of water.
Does this mean there will be no penalty?
Even though Nan Zhiyun had long thought that Yu Jingchen wouldn't really punish her, she was still somewhat surprised to hear Yu Jingchen's words.
But before Nan Zhiyun could even feel happy, she heard Yu Jingchen say, "But if there's a next time, you'll be copying the palace rules hundreds or thousands of times again."
Nan Zhiyun: "..." After copying it so many times, she can already recite those palace rules backwards.
"Yes," there was nothing he could do; he was the emperor, so whatever he said went.
"Alright, get ready to rest," Yu Jingchen said without adding anything after hearing her reply. However, these words made Nan Zhiyun tense.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun hesitated, looking somewhat troubled.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jingchen asked, looking at Nan Zhiyun's somewhat unnatural expression with a puzzled expression.
"Is Your Majesty staying here tonight?" Nan Zhiyun asked somewhat shyly.
"Otherwise what? You don't want me to stay?" Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow. What was this all about? Shy?
“No…” Nan Zhiyun denied.
"What happened?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"Your concubine..." Nan Zhiyun hesitated to say.
Yu Jingchen was completely confused, so he asked again, "What's wrong? Just tell me." Yu Jingchen didn't like Nan Zhiyun's stammering manner.
"I haven't been feeling well these past few days, and I just realized it... I haven't had a chance to report to the Imperial Household Department yet." Nan Zhiyun's voice was barely audible, her head almost touching the ground, not only because of shyness, but also because of worry.
Normally, the Imperial Household Department needs to be notified in advance in such situations, but she is never one to do this. This time she arrived several days early and only just found out. Before she could even send someone to tell them, she heard that Yu Jingchen had arrived.
People usually consider such things unlucky, so they deliberately avoid these days. Moreover... Nan Zhiyun was a little worried that Yu Jingchen would think she was deliberately keeping quiet, and that he might think her motives were impure.
Yu Jingchen took a moment to process what he heard before he understood. He looked at Nan Zhiyun, who seemed to want to disappear from his sight immediately, and found it somewhat amusing. A mischievous thought suddenly arose in his mind.
"Nan Zhiyun, what's going on in your head? Do you think I stayed behind just for those things?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
“No, I am, I am…” Nan Zhiyun was somewhat at a loss.
"Alright, is this a stutter? You can't even speak clearly anymore?" Yu Jingchen said again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean that, it's just..." Nan Zhiyun became more and more flustered and didn't know what she was saying.
"What do you mean by 'not that'? Do you think I would be interested in you with your face and body?" Yu Jingchen said bluntly.
Nan Zhiyun's face turned bright red; she was easily embarrassed and couldn't take a joke.
