Shen Wan was completely focused on the food and didn't notice Xie Jingyan's somewhat gritted-teeth gaze. Yin Shuang saw it clearly and even wanted to snatch her princess's bowl away.
Silver Frost is exhausted.
How could she have such a brainless master?
The prince is so ill that he can't eat, yet the princess is still eating heartily in front of him. Even if she's really starving, couldn't she at least eat half a bowl and then have a few pastries later? This makes it seem like the princess doesn't care about the prince at all. No, it's not just a hint; it's obvious.
It gives the impression that the princess wants to drive the prince to his death.
She ate a bowl of rice, but wasn't full. Shen Wan added half a bowl, still feeling unsatisfied, so she took two more bites...
Silver Frost looked on with despair.
Xie Jingyan's face had turned as black as the bottom of a century-old pot.
After finishing her meal, Shen Wan put down her bowl with a satisfied expression, which made Xie Jingyan so angry that he didn't even have the strength to speak. He just stared at Shen Wan.
Yinshuang tugged at Chen Wan's sleeve, and only then did Chen Wan realize that Xie Jingyan was looking at her. She said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Jingyan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm wondering what it would be like if you were to become a widow for me!"
Shen Wanxin's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "You won't die!"
You won't die?
He's already furious with her!
Xie Jingyan was so angry that his back teeth were itching. Shen Wan got up to comfort him, but before she could reach Xie Jingyan's side, Dong'er came into the room and stood outside the beaded curtain to report, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Chief Physician Zhao has arrived."
Why is Director Zhao here?
Shen Wan felt puzzled.
She looked at Xie Jingyan, who said, "Send him away, I don't need to see the imperial physician!"
Dong'er turned to leave, but Shen Wan quickly said, "Please invite Chief Physician Zhao in."
After giving her instructions, she looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "It should be the Emperor who sent Chief Physician Zhao. If you send him back now, your father will ask Chief Physician Zhao to come and take your pulse tomorrow. Why make him make another trip?"
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, "Just because your father invited Dean Zhao, does that mean I have to give him face?"
Shen Wan stared at him in astonishment.
Xie Jingyan stood up and said coldly, "I'll sleep in the study tonight."
He left after saying that.
Shen Wan watched Xie Jingyan leave in disbelief, while Yin Shuang said, "The Princess Consort just angered the Prince..."
Shen Wan knew Xie Jingyan was a little angry, but could someone who was willing to die from being pierced by a thousand arrows for her in her past life be the kind of person who would move to the study just because of this little bit of anger?
She knew in her heart that Xie Jingyan was using anger as an excuse to move to the study, because he was worried that his illness would be contagious to her.
How could such a little thought possibly escape her notice?
A gentle stream flowed through Shen Wan's heart, and her nose tingled with emotion. She lifted her foot and followed him out. Xie Jingyan was stubborn and unwilling to accept the Emperor's concern, but Zhao Yuanzheng had no choice but to see him.
Shen Wan led Zhao Yuanzheng to the study, and Xie Jingyan said coldly, "Have him go and tell the Emperor that I am fine."
Shen Wan walked in and said, "Zhao Yuanzheng would never dare to deceive the emperor, so please don't make things difficult for him."
Xie Jingyan retorted angrily, "Who gave you the audacity to interfere in my affairs?!"
Xie Jingyan rarely, if ever, referred to himself as "this king" in front of Shen Wan, which shows how firm his attitude was.
But Shen Wan's attitude was firm. She had said before that Xie Jingyan's life was tied to the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, her father and brothers, and the entire Yun family. She could not tolerate his willfulness. Shen Wan reached out and said, "Give me a letter of divorce. I will never interfere in your affairs again."
"you!"
Xie Jingyan's face turned green with anger.
Chen Feng inwardly applauded Shen Wan, thinking that there was truly someone who could subdue another; perhaps only the princess could keep the prince in check.
Chen Feng knew that Xie Jingyan wanted to move to the study because he was afraid of infecting Shen Wan. Although he felt unwell from vomiting, the doctors and imperial physicians all said that the prince was in good health. The prince would never dare to give the princess a letter of divorce. If he did, and in the end, she was not sick at all, he would have to bring the princess back.
Would the Marquis of Pingyang and his heir agree?
Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan stared at each other, while Chen Feng silently went out and invited Zhao Yuanzheng into the study.
Xie Jingyan remained seated, while Shen Wan pointed to the small couch with annoyance and said, "Go sit there."
Xie Jingyan laughed in exasperation, but despite his anger, he obediently sat down.
For a moment, Dr. Zhao was unsure what illness he was there to treat. He had to make it clear first that he couldn't cure henpecked husbands.
Zhao, the Imperial Physician, bowed to Xie Jingyan before sitting down and carefully taking Xie Jingyan's pulse. It was already dark, and the palace was almost under curfew. He was still asked to leave the palace to take the pulse of Prince Ling and then return to the palace to report to the Emperor. The Emperor cared about Prince Ling more than anyone imagined. Who would dare not do their best for something that the Emperor cared about?
Zhao Yuanzheng had already learned about Xie Jingyan's condition before the Emperor summoned him. He also found it very strange and worried that he might have been poisoned by some kind of advanced poison. The two imperial physicians, Xu and Zheng, couldn't figure it out. Now, he came in person and examined him very carefully, but the result was the same as that of the two imperial physicians.
After Zhao Yuanzheng released his hand from taking Shen Wan's pulse, Shen Wan asked, "Why did Your Highness vomit?"
Zhao Yuanzheng shook his head, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I didn't notice it either."
If even Chief Physician Zhao couldn't see the problem, then either there really wasn't a problem, or the problem was extremely serious.
It was getting late, so Zhao Yuanzheng took Xie Jingyan's pulse again, but still couldn't find anything wrong, so he went back to the palace to report to the Emperor.
Manager Zhou saw Dean Zhao off. Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and said expressionlessly, "You still want a letter of divorce? I'll give it to you."
Shen Wan glared at him, then turned and went back into the house.
After returning to her room, Shen Wan couldn't stop her mind from wandering. To clear her head, she simply took out her embroidery hoop and needle and thread.
After finishing embroidering an orchid, Haitang came in and said, "Your Highness, Chen Feng asked me to move the Prince's bedding to the study."
Inside the study.
Xie Jingyan was reading a book, but his gaze remained fixed on the page, and he didn't turn the page for a long time.
Chen Feng came in and said, "Master, the Princess Consort wants you to sleep in your room tonight."
What exactly does this woman want to do?
Before, he didn't want to sleep in the study, but we insisted on making him sleep there. Now that he's willingly sleeping in the study, we're not allowing it anymore.
Could it be that she's fallen for him?
Thinking that Shen Wan had eaten two bowls of rice that evening, Xie Jingyan decisively stopped speculating, lest he be presumptuous.
Xie Jingyan said, "Not only are there bedding in the inner room, but the beds have also been made up."
Xie Jingyan was adamant, and Chen Feng had no choice but to comply.
Shen Wan waited and waited in the room, but Xie Jingyan did not return. She frowned, got off the small couch, and went to the study without even putting on her shoes properly.
She pushed the door open and went in. Xie Jingyan was behind the screen, undressing and preparing for bed.
Shen Wan walked over and saw that he was shirtless, revealing his muscular chest.
Shen Wan's face flushed red, and she subconsciously turned her back.
Xie Jingyan said, "You don't even dare to look at me, yet you dare to tell me to go back to my room to sleep?"
Chen Wan felt annoyed. She turned around, but Xie Jingyan ignored her, sat on the bed, and lifted the covers to lie down and sleep.
Shen Wan walked up to him, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him.
