Yu Jingchen sat down next to Nan Zhiyun. While the imperial physician was taking her pulse, his attention was focused on the young girl, so he had seen something. Yu Jingchen took Nan Zhiyun's hand, and Nan Zhiyun instinctively tried to pull away.
"How did you get these marks?" Yu Jingchen asked Nan Zhiyun, pointing to some scratches on her wrist.
Nan Zhiyun looked a little nervous and scared, and tried to roll up her sleeves again to cover herself, but Yu Jingchen stopped her.
"Did you just catch it yourself?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
Nan Zhiyun didn't answer, but Yu Jingchen was very patient: "Tell me how you got this injury. Did you scratch yourself just now?" Yu Jingchen asked. It shouldn't be Min Chongyi, since she probably couldn't get close to Nan Zhiyun and would have scratched her instead.
"Tell me, okay? Did you catch it yourself? If so, just nod." Yu Jingchen coaxed her into speaking.
Nan Zhiyun lowered her head, and Yu Jingchen just stared at her. In the end, she couldn't withstand Yu Jingchen's gaze, so she nodded.
"Why did you arrest her? Are you nervous? Or scared?" Yu Jingchen felt uncomfortable about Nan Zhiyun's behavior.
"I'm sorry..." Nan Zhiyun said only these three words, but no one could truly understand what they meant. Upon hearing this, Yu Jingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Don't do it again, okay? You can't hurt yourself. Your body is your own. If you don't cherish yourself, how can others take care of you? So you're not allowed to do anything that hurts yourself in the future. Can you promise me that? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen touched Nan Zhiyun's forehead, his tone gentle and soothing.
"Hmm..." Nan Zhiyun seemed to agree, but Yu Jingchen knew that the little girl hadn't really taken it to heart yet.
"Don't be afraid or nervous. Even if you have these emotions, you have to control them. Don't hurt yourself again, or I'll be unhappy and punish you, okay?" Yu Jingchen said with a smile, sounding like he was just joking, but Nan Zhiyun didn't see it that way.
"You're being punished to take good care of yourself." Yu Jingchen knew she was sensitive, so he added this sentence after saying the previous one.
Nan Zhiyun looked up at Yu Jingchen and saw his gentle smile. She seemed to have something to say, but she didn't dare to say it.
"What did I tell you last time? If you have something to say, you can just say it," Yu Jingchen encouraged her.
"...I'm all better now." Nan Zhiyun managed to say just a few words after a long pause.
"Yes, it's better, but not completely healed yet, so we can't ignore it. You still need to take good care of yourself. Plus, your health isn't very good, so you need to recuperate slowly, understand?" Yu Jingchen thought Nan Zhiyun didn't like the way he was treating her now, and was afraid she would think he was being too controlling and strict.
"You said before that you could send me back once I felt better," Nan Zhiyun said. She had been feeling uncomfortable staying here for the past few days and didn't want to stay any longer.
Although what Min Chongyi said was unpleasant, Nan Zhiyun had thought about this issue herself, and she never wanted to stay here.
But as soon as Nan Zhiyun uttered those words, Yu Jingchen's expression stiffened. Leave? How could that be?
"It's not ready yet. How about in a couple more days? We can talk about this later." Yu Jingchen didn't want to continue discussing this issue.
"But this is Zichen Palace... I..." Nan Zhiyun was a little flustered, so her words were somewhat unclear.
"Alright, I told you, we'll discuss this further after your injuries are fully healed. Look at you now, how can I let you go back alone? If someone else comes, can you handle it?" Yu Jingchen tried to dissuade Nan Zhiyun from her idea in this way.
"..." Nan Zhiyun desperately wanted to speak again, but she no longer had the courage. Yu Jingchen could see that she didn't want to give up and leave, but in this matter, he pretended not to see it.
"I'll take you out for a walk in a bit. You must be bored staying inside all the time, right?" Yu Jingchen immediately changed the subject. Nan Zhiyun felt a strange sense of resistance when she heard the words "out."
“I’m not going out…” Nan Zhiyun replied.
"Why? We're cooped up in the house all day, we're going to grow mushrooms." Yu Jingchen tried to ease the tension.
"I don't want to go out... my wound hurts..." Nan Zhiyun seemed to have thought of a reason, but how could Yu Jingchen be fooled like that?
"If you're being naughty, just go for a walk. If you're not feeling well, I can carry you, or we can go for a ride in a sedan chair?" Yu Jingchen didn't necessarily want her to go out, but he noticed Nan Zhiyun's resistance to the outside world, so he wanted to test her.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head; she didn't want to, and her resistance was very obvious. Seeing this, Yu Jingchen frowned slightly.
"You really don't want to go out?" Yu Jingchen asked her. Nan Zhiyun continued to shake her head: "I don't want to go out..." She didn't want to see those people outside.
Yu Jingchen was silent for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. If he didn't want to go, then he wouldn't go. He had only meant to test the waters, and now that the result was obvious, he wouldn't force him.
But... when did Nan Zhiyun start to have this kind of emotion? It seems that this didn't happen in her previous life, so why did Nan Zhiyun become like this in the past year?
It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, but rather that she was afraid and terrified of it; she displayed a sense of resistance towards the outside world. Nan Zhiyun... seemed to have locked herself away, shut herself off—this was not a good sign.
