Chapter 25
"Miss Yue'er, are you ready to rest? Can I take you to your room?" After Yi Luoyue rested, Bai Die played with Xiaoyue'er and Bai Shuang who had just finished their meal for about an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked Xiaoyue'er if she wanted to rest.
"I want to sleep in my aunt's room, Sister Baidie. I'm small, so just help me tidy up the couch."
"Okay, then I'll make your bed." The princess said that she wanted Bai Shuang to take care of Xiao Yue'er just like she took care of the princess, so Miss Yue'er's status in the princess's heart was different, and she had no objection to her request to live in the princess's room.
While Bai Die was making the bed, Xiao Yueer ran to Yi Luoyue's bed and took a peek at her.
"Sister Baidie, come and see your aunt, her face is so red!" Upon hearing this, Baidie immediately put down her bedding and went over to check.
"Princess, Princess." He touched his forehead with his hand and found that it was indeed hot.
"Your Highness has a fever. I will ask someone to call for the Imperial Physician Li."
"I'll go find my dad and ask him to find the imperial physician." After saying that, he ran out with a thud.
"Bai Shuang, hurry up and catch up with Miss Yue'er." Looking at Xiao Yue'er running out like the wind, she didn't have time to stop her, but she asked His Highness Gong Yu to find someone, it should be pretty fast.
"I understand, sister." She obediently followed Xiaoyueer and ran out of the house.
"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you. I wonder if it would be okay..."
"Come in!" Gong Yuchen said in a low voice.
"I followed Gong Yuxian as ordered. The eldest prince contacted him in the evening, and then he went out for a while."
"Where did you go?"
"I followed him secretly and found out that he went to Lord Gong Che's residence." Lie Feng told the whole truth expressionlessly. Even if that person was Lord Gong, he had to tell it.
There was an unfathomable depth in Gong Yu's eyes that was difficult to interpret.
"continue."
"He seems to have gone to suggest to Lord Gong that you marry your cousin before His Highness returns to Xiyi."
Gong Yuchen was lost in thought, looking up for a long moment. Gong Yuxian and his uncle had never met before, so his sudden appearance now made his motives extremely suspicious. He completely trusted his uncle, and while his marriage to Mingxue was his uncle's wish, Gong Yuxian was always eager to act without profit. Why would he be so anxious about something that didn't benefit him? Could he have done something to hinder Gong Yuxian and Yi Luoyao...? Was it because of Yi Luoyue? They were wary of him because they felt he might pose a threat to their marriage!
Were they overestimating Gong Yuchen? Becoming Yi Luoyue's husband wasn't something that could be decided by just one or two people. Even if he had no objections, King Yi wouldn't let her marry far away, and he certainly wouldn't stay and become her consort. He and Yi Luoyue might have had some unspoken feelings, but their identities meant they were destined to be apart. Originally, he hadn't cared much about the marriage; even if he ended up marrying his cousin, he'd have been fine with it. But if he had someone else in his heart, wouldn't that be unfair to her?
"Your Highness, you and Miss Mingxue are childhood sweethearts. You know each other very well. Becoming the Crown Princess is not necessarily a bad thing for Your Highness."
"Shut up." Gong Yuchen glared at Liefeng and stopped him from speaking.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I made a mistake."
A strange emotion troubled him. At this moment, he didn't even recognize himself. He wasn't a weak-willed person, but he didn't dare admit or face this matter. He had to find a way to distance himself from her. He absolutely couldn't! He shouldn't have any feelings for her!
"Forget it, are there any other discoveries?"
"Gong Yuxian sent a visiting card to the Princess's residence today, saying he would visit her tomorrow. Also, several people have been missing from Gong Yuxian's entourage over the past two days, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"Go check it out. Make sure you know as much as possible."
"yes."
"Daddy, Daddy..." Xiaoyue'er's voice came into the room before anyone arrived.
Why is she back? Didn't she say she would stay at the Princess's Mansion? Did she have another nightmare?
In the blink of an eye, her small figure rushed in, and when she saw Gong Yuchen pulling her, she walked out.
"Slow down, what are you crazy about?"
"Aunt has a fever, Dad, go find the imperial physician." Xiaoyue pulled him anxiously.
"Liefeng, go get Imperial Physician Li. I'll go to the Princess's Mansion first." Upon hearing that Yi Luoyue's condition had become serious, he completely forgot his previous decision and walked out.
"Daddy, wait a minute, I can't run anymore, hold me!"
Returning to Yi Luoyue's dormitory door again, he put Xiaoyue'er down from his arms and knocked on the door frame.
"Your Highness Gongyu."
Seeing Gong Yuchen and the others, Bai Die came out and saluted first.
"Xiao Yue'er said the princess has a fever? Liefeng has gone to fetch Imperial Physician Li. I'll come over to take a look first."
"This... His Highness Gongyu is a man after all. Entering the princess's room late at night might lead to criticism."
"Sister Baidie, Daddy is also worried about Auntie, please let us in." Xiaoyueer pleaded.
"Can the princess be awakened?"
"No, I tried, but I couldn't wake Your Highness."
Gong Yuchen ignored Bai Die and quickly walked towards the bed. He was shocked to see Yi Luoyue's face flushed and breathing rapidly. He was shocked because she was fine when he left just now.
When he reached out and touched her abnormally hot body temperature, he was shocked to find that her whole body was burning.
"Is there an ice cellar in the Princess's mansion?"
"Yes, there is, but the princess just came back, and there is no ice in the ice cellar."
"Go to my house and get some."
"Xiaoyue, take her to get it."
"Sister Baidie, please come with me. The people in our mansion don't recognize you and won't let you in."
"this..."
Looking at Bai Die, he was still a little hesitant.
"Let's go, daddy is here, we can just go there and come back quickly." He dragged her away without saying anything.
He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the cloth beside the basin, wet it, wrung it dry, and gently wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead.
Soon Bai Die and the others came back with the ice. Gong Yuchen wrapped the ice in a cloth and placed it on Yi Luoyue's forehead.
"I will take care of the princess." Bai Die said cautiously. The Highness Gong Yu in front of her seemed to become even more terrifying, emitting an invisible aura that oppressed everyone.
"Go and see if Doctor Li has arrived first."
"Here I come, here I come." Doctor Li walked in anxiously.
"Imperial Physician, please take a look at our princess. She has a high fever that won't go away."
Doctor Li placed his hand on Yi Luoyue's hand and tested her pulse.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Seeing that the princess had her eyes closed and was still unconscious, she asked anxiously and worriedly.
"Uncle Li, the princess's injuries haven't improved, but a fall wouldn't have caused such a horrible outcome!"
"Princess, has your sleep schedule been unstable lately?"
"The princess just returned home recently and has a lot of things to deal with, so her sleep schedule isn't very good."
"Princess, you've overworked and your body is a little overdrawn, so this small bump might cause inflammation."
"What did the princess do? How could she be overworked?" Gong Yuchen looked at Bai Die.
"Your Highness Gongyu, I'm sorry, this is the princess's private matter, and I dare not make any comments."
Since the princess came back, in addition to the affairs in the mansion, there are also two princes and the events of three years ago that need to be investigated. The princess has to do all these things personally, so her body can't bear it.
"I will write a prescription right away. Boil it three times and make one bowl. Feed it to the princess." Doctor Li wrote a prescription and handed it to Bai Die.
"Today, I would like to trouble Uncle Li to stay at the Princess's residence for one night to prevent the Princess from having any relapses."
Gong Yuchen looked at Xiaoyueer who was dozing off on the bed. It was already past her bedtime, and he guessed that she would not want to go back home.
"Bai Die, please arrange a room for Doctor Li to stay temporarily, and then find someone to boil the medicine. Xiaoyue probably won't want to leave, so she and I will rest on the couch tonight." Gong Yuchen pointed to the couch beside him and looked at Bai Die with an expression that left no room for doubt.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. I will be right back."
Gong Yuchen gently picked up Xiaoyueer and lowered his head and whispered
"You've been tired all day, so take a good rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"But auntie!" The little girl, who was trying hard to stay awake, could hardly open her eyes. She was really exhausted after running back and forth between the two mansions twice.
"Don't worry, Daddy will take good care of the princess. She will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."
"real?"
"It's absolutely true." Gong Yuchen smiled and nodded in promise.
"Okay." Xiaoyue'er, who was still sleepy, couldn't help but lean on him.
After settling Xiaoyue'er, Gong Yuchen continued to wipe Yi Luoyue's forehead until Bai Die came back with the medicine.
She felt her head feel heavy, her eyes strained, and her mouth dry. Yi Luoyue half-opened her eyes, a hazy vision of a man anxiously gazing at her, constantly wiping her forehead. It was a dreamlike image, and she couldn't tell whether it was real or not, until she heard Bai Die's voice.
"Your Highness Gongyu, the medicine is ready."
Is that Gong Yuchen? Is he back again? I’m so tired! She tried hard to open her mouth and say something, but it was in vain.
"Let me do it." He took the medicine bowl from Bai Die's hand, scooped a spoonful, put it to his mouth to test the temperature, and slowly put it into Yi Luoyue's mouth.
It tastes so bitter! Yi Luoyue, dazed, instinctively vomited out the medicine.
Gong Yuchen tried again, but it was still the same.
"Your Highness Gongyu, what should we do? The princess can't take the medicine."
Glancing at Yi Luoyue.
"The medicine might be a little hot. Let it cool down first. Go get a basin of ice water."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Bai Die obeyed and went out to change the water.
Gong Yuchen watched her leave, drank all the medicine in one gulp, put his lips to Yi Luoyue, and passed the medicine to her mouth to mouth, but Yi Luoyue refused to drink it because it was bitter. Gong Yuchen had no choice but to pry open her mouth with his tongue and let the medicine flow into her mouth along his tongue.
This feeling was so strange! She swallowed her saliva, it was so bitter! She resisted with the tip of her tongue, but she never thought that it would become entangled with his, making her feel hot and burning.
Gong Yuchen narrowed his eyes, their gaze darkening. He gritted his teeth, trying desperately to control his overflowing lust, but she wouldn't let him go, sucking passionately, as if to drain all his strength. As she prodded him, a fiery throbbing raced through his body. He had always been so careful with her, but now that it was like that, Gong Yuchen pressed his scorching lips directly against her tender, cherry-like lips, ravaging her delicate lips with a fiery passion.
Fortunately, she fell into a deep sleep again before Bai Die came back. Looking at her sleeping face, Gong Yuchen sighed helplessly.
