Lin Xiuyan looked at him, and when she met his gentle eyes, her heart started beating faster involuntarily.
She turned her head slightly and said softly, "Ye Junfei, don't look at me like that."
She feared that she would become so immersed in his tenderness that she would lose herself.
She knew he had treated her well in this life, but he had left her with too many bad memories in her past life, so she dared not give him her whole heart.
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly as he asked her, "Why?"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "You look like a male fox spirit. I'm afraid I'll be bewitched."
Ye Junfei was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
Lin Xiuyan glared at him, and his laughter grew louder. She frowned and asked, "What's so funny?"
Ye Junfei didn't laugh out loud again, but a smile was about to spread across his eyes and brows.
He rested his chin on his hand and asked, "Do you like how I look?"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him, then immediately turned her head away. He laughed again.
His laughter was filled with joy, and Lin Xiuyan, who had turned around, couldn't help but laugh as well.
The atmosphere inside was relaxed and pleasant.
Ye Junfei was in an extremely good mood. He discovered that as long as he treated her well, she would reciprocate.
This feeling was something wonderful he had never experienced before.
For the first time, he realized that besides deceit and treachery, there were also emotions that could stir the heart.
Even though their relationship isn't deep yet, with her by his side, he feels that everything is fine, and even the violence that has accumulated in his bones has dissipated a lot.
He wanted to give her the best of everything.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and after Ye Junfei agreed, Yan Jiushu walked in.
As soon as he came in, he said with a worried look on his face, "I heard you're sick. Let me take your pulse quickly."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I'm fine. I just scared them on purpose."
Yan Jiushu was still worried and insisted on taking Ye Junfei's pulse, so Ye Junfei had no choice but to let him.
Ye Junfei was already suffering from qi deviation and had physical problems, so faking illness was an extremely easy thing for him.
After taking his pulse, Yan Jiushu found that although his pulse was not good, it was much better than when he left the palace.
If things continue like this, it won't be long before his health improves significantly.
Yan Jiushu looked at Ye Junfei in shock and said, "You two are getting along? How did you do that?"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "I told you last time that this is the power of love."
Yan Jiushu: "..."
What utter nonsense!
Ye Junfei pointed at Lin Xiuyan and said, "As long as my wife is by my side, no illness will stay away from me."
Yan Jiushu then looked at Lin Xiuyan standing to the side, and Ye Junfei introduced, "My lady, this is Yan Jiushu."
Lin Xiuyan nodded slightly to Yan Jiushu and smiled gently, "Greetings, Young Master Yan."
Yan Jiushu was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. At this moment, he was wearing a light blue robe with wide sleeves, and he looked very refined.
With his gentle features, he looks like the boy next door, making people feel close to him.
She had met Yan Jiushu in her previous life, but not with Ye Junfei; she met him with the Medical Sage.
Yan Jiushu was the eldest disciple of the Sage of Medicine and her senior brother in her previous life. He was extremely skilled in medicine.
However, in her past life, Yan Jiushu would become furious whenever Ye Junfei was mentioned, cursing him for being cruel and heartless.
It seems that Yan Jiushu and Ye Junfei have a pretty good relationship now, which surprised her somewhat.
However, she quickly calmed down. Since her rebirth, many people's perceptions have been different from her previous life's.
While she was sizing up Yan Jiushu, Yan Jiushu was also sizing her up.
Yan Jiushu had been very curious about her before, wondering what kind of stunning beauty would make Ye Junfei abandon his previous plans and marry her instead.
When he saw her then, he felt that although she was decent-looking, she was not the kind of stunning beauty that could topple kingdoms.
He nodded slightly and asked, "How did you treat Junfei's illness?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "His illness was caused by qi deviation."
"The root of the problem is the reversal of the meridians. If we start from this point and use Si Ni Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) along with other medicines that regulate the meridians, the condition will improve significantly."
Yan Jiushu was quite surprised: "You're using Si Ni Tang to treat qi deviation? Where did you get this idea?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "That's how I came up with it, and it seems to be working well."
Yan Jiushu: "..."
Of course he knew that this was her idea; that wasn't what he was asking about!
He couldn't help but glance at her again. She smiled at him once more. He turned to look at Ye Junfei: "Who is her teacher? You dare to take the medicine she prescribed?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "No matter who she studied under, I trust her, and that's enough. She can indeed cure my illness."
After he finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yan Jiushu with an extremely indifferent expression: "If I had listened to your treatment completely, I'm afraid I would still be suffering from the illness now."
Yan Jiushu: "..."
He couldn't refute that.
He was the chief disciple of the Sage of Medicine, and his medical skills were quite good. This was the first time he had been outshone by someone, and by a young woman no less.
Although he wasn't the petty type, he still felt a bit conflicted at that moment.
He half-closed his eyes and said calmly, "You're right. From now on, let her treat your illness."
Ye Junfei remained noncommittal.
Yan Jiushu changed the subject, saying, "Today you used the Imperial Clan Court to pressure the Prince and Princess, and you also beat Ye Jingxian. I'm afraid they won't let it go."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Even without today's events, would they have let me go?"
Yan Jiushu: "...No."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "If that's the case, what is there to fear?"
Yan Jiushu sighed deeply, and thinking about Ye Junfei's current situation, his heart was filled with worry.
He glanced at Lin Xiuyan standing to the side and still felt that Ye Junfei's decision to marry her instead of the princess was unwise.
However, Ye Junfei had said those words before, and since they had already gone through the wedding ceremony, he couldn't say anything more.
He then said, "You are currently at a disadvantage, with not many troops at your disposal. Once they break off relations, your situation will be extremely dangerous."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were full of indifference: "If you don't have an army, then build your own army."
"As for danger, I've already braved a den of dragons and tigers like the capital, so why would I be afraid of them?"
Yan Jiushu knew his abilities, but she was still worried.
Just then, Princess Pingnan's maid, Yan Nan, came in with a bowl of medicine and said, "The medicine the doctor prescribed has been decocted."
Lin Xiuyan took the medicine from Yan Nan's hand: "I will serve the young master his medicine. You may leave!"
Yan Nan glanced at Lin Xiuyan and said, "The Princess Consort has something to discuss with the Crown Princess Consort. Please, Crown Princess Consort, go there as soon as possible."
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly: "You wait outside. I'll come over after I've served the young master his medicine."
