"You Ran, it's fortunate that you reacted quickly, otherwise Cai Die's reputation would have been ruined."
As Jiang Qianqian spoke, she patted her chest and let out a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile, Zhou Caidie sat there in a daze, still in shock. What had just happened must have given her quite a fright.
"You Ran, I really don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't even be alive today."
Zhou Caidie dared not imagine that if word got out that she had secretly met with Feng Lei today, she would not only lose face herself, but also the face of the Zhou family.
"Not to mention that I won't be able to get married in the future, I'm afraid I won't even have the courage to live," Zhou Caidie said to Li Youran with a sob in her voice.
"Cai Die, although I was unable to express my feelings to Feng Lei today, it is already a great blessing that such a tragedy was avoided."
"Who says Feng Lei doesn't understand Cai Die's feelings?"
Zhang Qianqian patted Zhou Caidie on the shoulder to comfort her, but before she could finish speaking, Li Youran interrupted her.
Li Youran smiled brightly and said to Zhou Caidie.
“Feng Lei not only understands your feelings, but he also appreciates you quite a bit.”
After hearing Li Youran's words, Zhou Caidie thought about it carefully for a long time, but she still didn't understand why Li Youran would say that.
"Anyway, don't think too much about it. In a few days, Feng Lei will take the initiative to come to you."
Li Youran spoke mysteriously, and then left.
After returning to the Second Prince's residence, Li Youran felt a headache, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that she would feel better after resting in bed for a while. However, she ended up sleeping until midnight.
"Xiao Hong, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"
"Princess, you're finally awake! You scared me half to death!"
Seeing that Li Youran had finally woken up, Xiao Hong said to Li Youran with a sob in her voice.
After returning home, Li Youran slept until lunchtime. Xiao Hong called out a few times but received no response, so she simply lifted the curtain and reached out to pull Li Youran, but when her hand touched Li Youran's body, it was burning hot.
Li Youran developed a high fever and fell into a coma. The imperial physician hurriedly pricked Li Youran with silver needles several times, and then forcibly poured down her a bowl of dark Chinese medicine.
Next, Xiao Hong kept wiping Li Youran's body with a towel wet with cold water until Li Youran finally woke up in the middle of the night.
"Princess, this servant will go and tell the Second Prince's Consort that you have woken up."
"My sister is pregnant, so let her rest a little longer. It's not too late to tell her when she wakes up."
Li Youran didn't want the Second Prince's wife to work so hard, so she stopped Xiao Hong.
I don't know if it's because I spent too much time in the pavilion during the day, or because I've been feeling depressed lately, but that's why I developed a high fever.
Li Youran leaned against the bed, drinking spoonfuls of her future medicine from Xiao Hong.
The events of these past few days flashed through Li Youran's mind like a movie.
For some reason, Li Youran felt a knot in her heart whenever she thought of Tang Lei.
Although both Liu Zhiyuan and Tang Lei had deceived Li Youran, for some reason, she was particularly bothered by Tang Lei's deception and concealment of her.
"Xiao Hong, are you hiding anything from me?"
Xiao Hong, who was giving Li Youran stomach medicine, was so shocked by Li Youran's words that she almost dropped the medicine bowl.
"Princess, have I done something wrong...?"
Xiao Hong said to Li Youran with a sob in her voice.
"I swear to God, I have never been disloyal to you. If I have done anything wrong, it must be because I am usually careless."
As Xiao Hong spoke, she continued kneeling on the ground.
“Princess, you must give me a chance to make amends. You have said that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.”
"Look how scared you are. I was just asking casually."
As Li Youran spoke, she opened her mouth to signal Xiao Hong to continue feeding her the medicine.
Xiao Hong hurriedly got up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and then scooped up a large spoonful of medicine and fed it to Li Youran.
Suddenly forced to swallow a mouthful of bitter Chinese medicine, Li Youran frowned slightly. He looked at Xiao Hong, thinking that the possibility of this girl taking revenge after her death could not be ruled out.
"Xiaohong, if someone you trust implicitly suddenly does something behind your back, would you forgive them?"
Xiao Hong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke earnestly to Li Youran.
“Princess, since you have said that he is someone I trust deeply, then I will choose to believe him. If he tells me something, I will listen to it; if he doesn’t tell me something, I will not pursue it too much.”
"Why?"
Li Youran did not expect that Xiao Hong would answer his question in this way.
"If I doubt him, then I am doubting my own trust in him."
It took Li Youran a long time to recover from hearing Xiao Hong's words.
She hadn't expected Xiao Hong to say something so profound, such a profound statement about self-doubt.
Li Youran closed her eyes, pondering the meaning of those words, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Li Youran pulled the towel off his head and looked at Xiao Hong, who was fast asleep by the bedside. He sat up silently by himself.
"Princess, you're awake?"
As Xiao Hong spoke, she habitually reached out and touched You Ran's soft forehead. She saw that You Ran's forehead had become cool and no longer burning hot. Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
"You must be exhausted after working all night. Go home and get some rest!"
Li Youran didn't want to wake Xiao Hong, because even in her sleep, Li Youran could feel someone constantly changing the towel on her forehead.
Seeing that Li Youran's fever had subsided, Xiao Hong didn't insist. She laughed it off and left with two big dark circles under her eyes.
"What a beautiful day!"
Li Youran walked out of the room with the help of the servants. She looked up at the cloudless sky and saw the sun hanging high in the sky, the sunlight dazzling her eyes.
Although she no longer had a fever, her body was still somewhat depleted, so Li Youran dared not bask in such strong sunlight. Therefore, she had a recliner brought out and placed in a shady spot in the corridor.
"Princess, this is the letter that Young Master Liu has sent."
Just as Li Youran lay down, a maidservant rushed over in a panic, carrying a letter.
The envelope was pristine white, with a few lotus flowers drawn on it. Li Youran looked up at the pond not far away and thought it was quite fitting for the occasion.
Upon learning that Li Youran had a fever, Liu Zhiyuan originally intended to visit her, but since it was the backyard of the Second Prince's residence, he could not enter casually. Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly wrote this letter to express his concern.
"Young master, please wait. You cannot go in."
