Xiao Ruyu's heart stopped beating for half a second, and he staggered over.

Could it be.

Are illusions real?

"Stinky brother, wake up!"

Tears fell down her cheeks again, and Xiao Ruyu threw herself on him and burst into tears.

"Didn't you say it was just an illusion?"

Doctor Yang also walked over nervously, squatted down, and stretched out two fingers to feel Xiao Rujin's breath.

"Little Princess, Little Prince..."

"It's still breathing."

When Xiao Ruyu heard Doctor Yang speak helplessly, her crying stopped abruptly.

She sniffed and smelled his scent.

Sure enough, there is still breath!

Doctor Yang took Xiao Rujin's pulse for a moment and spoke slowly, "Don't worry, little princess. The little prince must have inhaled too much of the mist and passed out."

"It's nothing serious. Just return to the palace and rest for a few days."

Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and took out some elixirs from the space and stuffed them into Xiao Rujin's mouth.

Watching him chew and swallow, Xiao Ruyu realized something was wrong.

She put her hand under Xiao Rujin's armpit, and the next second, he started to giggle.

[Okay, you are afraid of being scolded by your sister, so you are pretending to be dead again, right? ]

Xiao Ruyu was so angry that she scratched his itchy spots all over.

Xiao Rujin laughed so hard that tears came out. She rolled on the ground, unable to catch her breath. "Sister... I just... woke up."

After letting her vent her anger, Xiao Ruyu withdrew her hand and looked at his aggrieved expression.

[If you do this again next time, I will ignore you. ]

Seeing that Xiao Ruyu was really angry, Xiao Rujin quickly came forward and hugged her arms, "Sister, I really just woke up."

"I didn't mean to deceive you."

“Don’t ignore me.”

He lowered his head, his lips still a little pale.

Xiao Ruyu couldn't bear it and patted him on the head.

【This will not happen again. 】

The task was accomplished, and they quickly took a shortcut down the mountain before dark.

The carriage stopped safely at the foot of the mountain. When the coachman saw the people coming down the mountain, he hurried over to meet them.

"It's getting late, little princess, please get in the car and go back to the palace quickly."

Xiao Ruyu nodded and was carried into the carriage by Eleven.

Along the way, Xiao Ruyu was still immersed in the illusion.

That unforgettable feeling was still vivid in her mind. She covered her chest with her hands, feeling a dull pain.

No wonder Xiao Ru'an became distracted and had nightmares every day after returning. The power of this illusion is extremely great.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu in a trance for a long time, Doctor Yang couldn't help but comfort her, "Little Princess, don't think about the things in the illusion anymore. Those are all illusions based on the things people fear the most. If you stay there for too long, you will be swallowed up in the illusion."

Xiao Ruyu lowered her head, her eyes dim and colorless.

[Of course I know that those are all fake, but the scene has been lingering in my mind. ]

Whenever she thought of Xiao Rujin's pale and weak cheeks, she hated herself for being powerless.

Xiao Ruyu threw herself into Doctor Yang's arms, lowered her eyes, and felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

Just be afraid.

That fantasy came true!

[Master, we still need to find the mother Gu as soon as possible.]

[Even if I have to travel to the ends of the earth, I will find the antidote for my stinky brother. ]

She stood up and looked at Doctor Yang with sharp eyes.

Doctor Yang knew that her inner obsession could not be eliminated, so he touched her little face with his palm and nodded slightly.

"Master promises you."

…

They rode at full speed all the way and finally returned to the palace before dark.

Imperial Physician Yang first returned to the Imperial Physician's Office to study the Nine-Turn Linglong Fan, while Xiao Ruyu took Xiao Rujin by the hand and walked towards the bedroom.

Xiao Rujin shrank his neck and looked at the woman beside him who was silent all the way. He always felt that a storm was coming.

“Bang!”

Xiao Ruyu slammed the palace door shut, and the loud noise made Xiao Rujin's heart tremble.

The next moment, the overwhelming rebukes knocked Xiao Rujin to the ground.

[Stinky brother, do you know how dangerous it is for you to sneak out like this? ! ]

[Look, he fainted again out of nowhere. What if someone suddenly attacks him?]

[How can I trust you anymore if you are like this! ]

Xiao Ruyu criticized Xiao Rujin harshly, his face flushed with anger, and his eyes were mixed with pain when he looked at him.

"Sister..." Xiao Rujin tugged at her sleeve, frightened by her appearance.

"I won't do this again next time..."

He didn't dare to talk back and could only admit his mistake and look to Eleven for help, hoping that he could say something good about him.

Eleven couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out and stroked Xiao Ruyu's back, signaling her to calm down. "After all, the little prince didn't do it on purpose. Who could have known that he would get lost in the illusion?"

"Now that it has happened, don't blame the little prince."

Moved by his words, Xiao Ruyu let out a long sigh and let go.

[Forget it, don’t do this again next time. ]

[Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain this to my mother.]

She turned around and was about to leave, but heard the house being pushed open a little.

A white shadow rushed into the room and threw itself into her arms.

[Ergou! Why are you here! ]

Xiao Ruyu picked up the civet cat and held it against her chest.

The civet cat meowed twice at her, then jumped out of her arms, motioning her to go outside.

[I'm going to go play with Ergou first, you should take a rest, you stinky little brother.]

Xiao Ruyu turned around and left, but did not forget to give Xiao Rujin some instructions.

Seeing Xiao Rujin hanging his head, Eleven couldn't help but comfort him, "Little Prince, the little princess is just too worried about you, so her tone is bad."

"Everyone in the palace knows that the little princess cares the most about the little prince."

Xiao Rujin was silent for two seconds, walked forward, grabbed Eleven's sleeve, raised his head, and despite his young age, his eyes were filled with desolation.

"Eleven, tell the truth."

"Is my illness incurable?"

Eleven met the lonely look in his eyes, her heart trembled, and then she shook her head.

"No, there will be a way."

Xiao Rujin let go of her hand, her face showing a maturity that didn't belong to her age, "If it can't be cured, don't let me worry about it for me."

"I saw her risk her life for me..."

“It’s really hard.”

He sighed, his words showing a sense of letting things go, "Just let me enjoy these last moments well."

Eleven couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw his sensible appearance.

"Don't worry, little prince. Don't say such things in the future." He paused, "Otherwise the little princess will be sad."

Xiao Rujin pursed her lips and said no more.

After spending half an hour with the civet cat, Xiao Ruyu figured that Xiao Rujin had gone to bed and prepared to go back to her room.

Just as I reached the door, I bumped into someone's chest unexpectedly.

【Eleven, why haven't you rested yet? 】

Eleven stood under the bright moonlight. The boy's face was angular and his whole body was shrouded in the moonlight, giving him a somewhat cold feeling.

Xiao Ruyu came over, also feeling a little tired, and urged him to go back and rest.

[It’s getting late, and this princess is tired. ]

Eleven's lips slightly opened, as if he was about to say something.

"Little Princess, Eleven has something to say..."
