As soon as Lu Yunqi finished speaking, Princess Jiuli inside started coughing, and the maids and servants in the room immediately became busy.

Lu Yunqi walked in quickly, followed by the imperial doctors. They watched the maids pat Princess Jiuli and fed her a few sips of water.

Under the light, Princess Jiuli looked weak, undressed, and a little haggard. She drank a few sips of water to suppress her cough, then lay back down.

"What do you think?" Lu Yunqi asked. He did not approach but stood a few steps away from the bed.

His concern is genuine, but his attitude is not as intimate as a husband's, but more like the respectful attitude of a follower.

This is actually normal, after all, his wife is a princess, and he is both a husband and a subject.

No one in the room dared to question it, or even look at it.

Princess Jiuli waved her hands without saying anything and kept her mouth tightly shut as if to avoid coughing as soon as she opened her mouth.

Lu Yunqi didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out, and the imperial doctors hurriedly followed him.

Of course, you should avoid discussing the patient's condition.

"It's nothing serious, just a bit of a cold." An imperial physician spoke first after careful consideration.

This is a clever way of saying it. It doesn't matter if you say it's serious, but even if you say it's not a big deal, the cold should not be underestimated.

Lu Yunqi had a blank expression on his face.

"So you don't know if it can be cured?" he said.

These words made the imperial doctors pale and look nervous.

It would be fine if someone else said this, they have a lot to say in response, but facing Lu Yunqi... Jiang Youshu is still in prison and his life or death is unknown.

"Lord Lu, we can cure it." An imperial physician gritted his teeth and said, "But this cold disease cannot be cured in a short time. Now it is autumn and the weather is getting cold, which is even worse for the cold. We need to slowly nurse the princess back to health."

Lu Yunqi nodded.

Is that all? So easy to talk to? The doctors breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then we'll go get the prescription," they said.

Lu Yunqi nodded again, and the imperial doctors hurriedly retreated.

Lu Yunqi stood in the hall for a moment before walking into the inner room. Princess Jiuli seemed to have fallen asleep on the bed, and the maids and servants lowered their heads and retreated.

"Your Majesty has agreed to let me leave the capital." Lu Yunqi said suddenly.

Princess Jiuli opened her eyes.

"Is it for that Miss Jun?" she asked, her voice sounding weaker as she tried to suppress a cough.

"She had too much fun in the north. It's not the capital, it's not safe." Lu Yunqi said.

Princess Jiuli burst into laughter, which immediately led to a coughing fit, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Lu Yunqi handed the water over with his long arms outstretched, but did not come closer.

Princess Jiuli shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary.

Lu Yunqi put down the cup and let his hands hang down.

"Lord Lu, the capital is not safe for her." Princess Jiuli said with a smile.

Lu Yunqi said nothing.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"I'm sick, can you not go?" Princess Jiuli said suddenly.

Her voice was soft to begin with, and now she was seriously ill. She lowered her eyes under the lamp, and her voice was weak, like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel pity.

The maid standing outside couldn't see Princess Jiuling's appearance through the pearl curtain, but she couldn't help but tremble at the sound of her voice.

That's right, the princess is also a woman, and Lu Qianhu is also a man. Women should be so delicate and weak, and act coquettishly and charmingly towards men.

What's more, this man is about to go out for another woman. Even if she is a princess, she would not want her man to be taken away by another woman.

This should have been said a long time ago.

Lu Yunqi remained silent.

The maid couldn't help but hold her breath, and before she almost suffocated to death, she finally heard Lu Yunqi speak.

"good."

His dull and mellow voice makes people feel extremely at ease.

The maid couldn't help but feel overjoyed as she watched Lu Yunqi sit down in front of Princess Jiuli's bed. She hurriedly led the maids standing outside out, not forgetting to close the door.

The brightly lit room became quiet and peaceful.

Hearing Lu Yunqi's answer, Princess Jiuli smiled at him.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome." Lu Yunqi said, "It's all the same, it's all for her."

Jiuli knew who this "she" was talking about.

For her, he kept pestering Miss Jun and even risked leaving the capital.

But it was also for her that he stayed when he heard that she was sick.

Princess Jiuli smiled.

"Thank you." She said again. Compared with the first time, this time her thanks was more sincere and regretful.

This regret is certainly not because her husband left or stayed, it was not for her.

Thinking of her, both of them were silent for a moment.

"Didn't she ask you to take care of us?" Princess Jiuli suddenly said, "It's really difficult for you."

The three siblings are an awkward existence. If they could die of illness or have other accidents, it would really make many people's wishes come true.

The emperor's wish must also be the wish of many people, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this wish.

Fortunately, Lu Yunqi took over the management of all their affairs. The closed and isolated Huaiwang Mansion and Lu's residence were both a prison and a protective shield.

With him around, no one can do anything small.

But it was not easy for him to do this in a reasonable way without angering the emperor or arousing his suspicion.

So now that she is sick, all kinds of accidents may happen to sick people, and Lu Yunqi will definitely not leave. He has to stay with her personally to prevent any accidents.

After hearing her words, Lu Yunqi's expression flashed with sadness.

"No, she didn't," he said dully.

Princess Jiuli looked up at him.

No? Didn't Jiuling say that?

However, Jiuling has an extremely strong and proud personality, so it is normal for him not to say such things.

"Then I have to thank Lord Lu even more," she said.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

"Princess, you don't have to thank me," he said, "just don't do this again next time."

Princess Jiuli was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand what he said.

Lu Yunqi stood up.

"You also said that she is not herself." He said, looking at Princess Jiuli with a dull expression, "How can you betray her feelings for her and hurt yourself for her? Will she be happy?"

Most people would be confused by this series of “she, she, she”. Princess Jiuli was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"Your Excellency said it very well," she said, seeming not to understand what he meant, and just answered casually.

"I didn't speak well," Lu Yunqi said, "but I can guarantee that Gu Qing will speak very well in prison."

Princess Jiuli's face changed and she sat up from the bed.

"You..." she said, and then smiled bitterly and sat back down, "Yes, I knew I couldn't keep this secret from you."

Plastic surgery looking at Lu Yunqi.

"I sent a message asking him to find me some medicine for my illness."

After saying this, he sat on the bed and bowed his head to Lu Yunqi.

"I'm sorry, I have to thank you for your kindness, but I also want to thank Mr. Gu. This is none of his business."

Lu Yunqi's expression remained blank.

"Princess, take good care of yourself." He said, as if he had said nothing just now, and turned and walked away.

"Lord Lu." Princess Jiuli called.

Lu Yunqi stopped and didn't look back.

"Princess, don't worry. You are not pretending to be sick. You are really sick. I will not leave the capital," he said.

Princess Jiuli looked at his back.

"Can you tell me how she died," she said. "Why she died."

Lu Yunqi's back stiffened and he clenched his hands at his sides.
