Wu Lianxu had seen their intimate behavior from outside the door just now, and was now trying to calm himself down.

Liang Qingchen frowned and looked at her, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Muyu saw that she was holding a tray with a ceramic pot on it, so he smiled and said, "Miss Wu, are you here to serve soup?"

"Yes." Wu Lianxu put the tray on the table and said, "This is the medicinal soup prepared by my grandfather himself. It can nourish the spirit and replenish the vital energy."

Liang Qingchen was about to refuse, but Jiang Muyu said first: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Doctor Wu Yu."

"Your Highness, please don't be polite. I have delivered the things and will take my leave now."

"Okay, Miss Wu, take care."

Wu Lianxu just turned around when he heard Liang Qingchen behind him say, "Why? Do you think I need to recuperate?"

Jiang Muyu said jokingly, "I'm just worried that you'll get tired, so this is a good way to replenish your kidneys."

"Who was the first one who couldn't bear it and begged me..."

She quickly covered his mouth, her face full of shame: "Don't say anything, I admit that I was wrong."

Wu Lianxu quickened his pace and hurriedly fled from this place of trouble.

In this side room, Jiang Muyu ate until he was eight-tenths full and then stopped.

"Don't you want to eat anymore?" Liang Qingchen looked at her sideways.

She shook her head and said, "No more."

He smiled and said, "It's good to be full. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have the energy later."

"What?" She looked puzzled.

Liang Qingchen didn't answer, but just curled his eyes with a faint smile.

It was not until the lights were turned off and she was tortured until late at night that Jiang Muyu finally understood what he meant by that sentence.

The next day, Liang Qingchen got up at daybreak.

Jiang Muyu showed no sign of waking up. He tucked the quilt in for her, gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, and then left.

It was still drizzling outside. After he met Lord Yao, he got on the carriage and headed towards the river.

After this period of contact, Lord Yao's attitude towards Jiang Muyu has greatly changed. When he didn't see her today, he asked, "Isn't the queen going to patrol the river with you today?"

Liang Qingchen looked at the map in his hand and said without raising his head, "She is weak and must be exhausted after running around for several days. Let her stay and rest today."

"That's fine." Lord Yao touched his nose embarrassedly.

I thought: Whatever you say is true. If I could choose, I really don't want to live next door to you. The sound insulation in that yard is too poor!

…

It was almost noon when Jiang Muyu woke up. When she heard that Liang Qingchen got up at the early morning, she felt sincere admiration for him.

I couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of structure is this person? Not only does he have good physical strength, but he also has such strong energy!"

She was having breakfast when she heard Yunyan say, "I heard that Miss Wu caught a cold last night and couldn't even get out of bed today."

Jiang Muyu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Isn't she a doctor? How could she let herself become so ill?"

"Who knows? Maybe Miss Wu has lived in the capital for many years and is not used to the climate and environment in the south of the Yangtze River."

"That's right. A doctor should not treat himself." She thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to do today anyway. I'll take some supplements and go see her later."

Although she didn't have a good impression of Wu Lianxu, they all came from the capital together, so they should at least take care of each other to avoid being accused by others of being inconsiderate of the people below them.

"I will go and prepare a gift for you, Madam."

Just as Yunyan was about to leave, she stopped him and said, "Take the ginseng I bought in Suicheng with you."

"Isn't that what you wanted to keep for yourself? At that time, you said it was ridiculously expensive, but now you are willing to give it to Miss Wu?"

"It doesn't matter. When you visit a patient, you should always give him something nice."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Jiang Muyu had breakfast and drank a cup of tea before Yun Yan finished packing. She then headed straight to the dormitory where Wu Lianxu was staying temporarily.

The mansion that Prefect Jiang arranged for them was not small. It took a quarter of an hour to walk from her place to Wu Lianxu's bedroom.

Before she even entered the room, she heard coughing coming from inside, one burst after another, as if the coughing was about to make the person suffocate.

She stood outside the door for a while, and then Doctor Wu Yu came out. When he saw her, he immediately bowed and said, "Why are you here, Princess? My granddaughter is seriously ill, and I'm afraid you may have helped her."

Jiang Muyu said, "I heard that Miss Wu was ill, so I wanted to come and take a look. I brought some supplements with me, but I don't know if they are useful. If Doctor Wu Yu doesn't mind, please accept them for now."

Hearing her say this, Doctor Wu Yu dared not delay and said quickly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

Doctor Wu Yu was really afraid that she would be infected with the disease, so he asked her to go in with a veil.

At this time, inside the house, Wu Lianxu was lying on the bed, his face was pale and haggard, with dark circles around his eyes. He was completely different from the one she saw last night, and it was obvious that he was seriously ill.

Jiang Muyu was startled and asked worriedly, "How did he become so ill overnight?"

Wu Lianxu drooped his eyelashes when he saw her, and said in a hoarse voice: "It is inconvenient for me to stand up and greet the queen."

"It's too late to be polite at this moment. Just lie down and rest. It's most important to take good care of yourself."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty..." She had just finished speaking when she covered her mouth and started coughing again.

He coughed so hard that it seemed like his lungs were about to burst. Jiang Muyu felt very distressed just watching him.

When she finally came back, she said, "I can't be of much help here, so I'll take my leave now. Miss Wu, have a good rest."

Wu Lianxuan looked at her with tears in his eyes and said, "Go slowly, Madam."

Jiang Muyu nodded at her and left.

Wu Lianxuan looked at her back until she disappeared around the corner, then he asked the little maidservant beside him, "What did she bring just now?"

"My dear girl, it's some supplements."

"Throw them all away!" Wu Lianxuan's voice was hoarse, but his tone was extremely cold.

She closed her eyes, and the thought of last night made her whole body tremble and her stomach churn.

After she left their bedroom, all she could think about was their intimate behavior. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but walk back, but she saw several guards sitting together sharing food.

When she got closer, she saw that it was the medicinal soup that she had just given to Liang Qingchen.

She tried hard not to get angry in front of others and asked, "Who gave this to you?"

When the guard saw her, he said, "This is a gift from the prince. Miss Wu, would you like to have a bowl to taste it?"

"No need, just drink it."

She left after she finished speaking, her hands clenching tighter and tighter at her side. In just a quarter of an hour, he threw the medicinal soup that she had carefully prepared for a whole day to the servants like garbage!

"How could he do this to my true love?" She sat in the corridor and cried for a long time. She was so angry that she wanted to ask for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, when she went there, she was stopped outside by the guards, who told her that the prince and princess had already gone to bed.

She was standing outside the yard and could clearly hear some movement coming from inside from time to time.

She did not force her way in, but somehow went around to the back of their dormitory, and only then did she hear it clearly.

The woman's soft moans and the man's deep breathing... It was the first time she heard Liang Qingchen coax her so patiently. His hoarse voice calling her "my dear" was so heart-wrenching.

She squatted under the wall with red ears, listening for half the night before the noise inside stopped.

Unexpectedly, she caught a cold and felt exhausted when she returned to her dormitory.

When she saw Jiang Muyu's face just now, she couldn't help but think of last night. The sour feeling that spread from the bottom of her heart almost drowned her.

The little maid was about to throw away the supplements as she instructed, but was suddenly stopped by her.

"Forget it, let's put it aside for now. Don't let the queen down."
