There seemed to be something else behind those words, but before Xiao Huaijin could delve into it, Shen Yunjiao said to Yan Shiman, "Shiman, let's go."
After saying that, he took the lead and left the house.
She didn't even want to spare Xiao Huaijin a glance.
Xiao Huaijin felt somewhat aggrieved, but he still kept his jawline taut and followed closely behind Shen Yunjiao.
Seeing the two sulking, Yan Shiman didn't know how to mediate, so he could only follow Shen Yunjiao.
In the dead of night, the Prince of Guangping's mansion was brightly lit.
When the guards at the gate saw that it was Prince Yan and the divine physician Miss Shen from that day, they hurriedly ran to inform the prince.
A short while later, the Prince of Guangping personally came out to greet him.
"Miss Chen! Please come in!"
As he ran over, he shouted to Chen Yunjiao, his voice filled with unconcealed worry and anxiety.
But when he ran to the door and saw that there were not only Yan Shiman and Shen Yunjiao present, but also the current emperor Xiao Huaijin, his expression changed drastically.
Reluctantly, Prince Guangping parted his robes, curtsied to Xiao Huaijin, and said, "Your Majesty, I was unaware of Your Majesty's visit. I deserve to die. Please, Your Majesty, punish me."
Xiao Huaijin narrowed his eyes slightly, his handsome face now bearing a gentle smile. "It's alright, Uncle, please get up. It's more important to treat the Princess Consort. I'm here incognito today and don't want to disturb too many people."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Guangping bowed his head respectfully and then stood up and said to Shen Yunjiao, "Miss Shen, please come with me."
Shen Yunjiao followed Prince Guangping toward the main house. Xiao Huaijin saw that her face was solemn and her eyes were calm and serious, which seemed to be different from when they usually got along, so he couldn't help but follow her.
When Yan Shiman saw that his cousin's gaze was glued to Shen Yunjiao like a leech, he couldn't help but find it amusing. Suddenly, he remembered something, paused, and looked back, "North Wind."
Yan Shiman shouted something very quietly to Beifeng, who was following behind him.
Bei Feng was slightly taken aback at first, then hurriedly ran to the young prince's side and asked with concern, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Nothing else, I just wanted to confirm if you were behind me."
Yan Shiman answered with a smile, his eyes round and bright, just like a captivating little wildcat.
Bei Feng's face flushed instantly, and his heart pounded like thunder. He quickly lowered his eyes and said, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate has always been here."
They just remained silent.
Yan Shiman pulled him aside and said, "We won't go with you; we won't be of any help anyway."
Bei Feng hesitated as he watched the group of people gradually disappear into the distance. "But His Majesty went along too."
Yan Shiman laughed and said, "How could he not go? His eyes are practically glued to Yun Jiao."
He looked up at Beifeng, whose features were broad and open, and asked, "Beifeng, have you thought about what life would be like if you went back to your hometown?"
Yan Shiman admitted that he had been feeling sentimental lately.
My mind is always filled with nonsensical thoughts.
If Beifeng were to return to his hometown, given his appearance, he would undoubtedly be surrounded by countless beautiful women.
Will he marry a virtuous wife and have a bunch of little Beifengs?
Yan Shiman is now unsure of her own feelings and has been inexplicably engaged in a marriage, which is making her very agitated.
After learning of his engagement, Bei Feng became even more respectful and distant than before, which made Yan Shiman feel a bit choked up.
"I never thought of that."
"Huh?" Yan Shiman came back to his senses, only to see Bei Feng staring at him with a serious expression. "Since I have chosen Prince Yan, I will not think about what would happen if I chose another path. As long as Prince Yan does not dislike me, I will stay in the Prince of Runan's residence."
Although Bei Feng's words were very concise, Yan Shiman already understood their meaning.
A slight smile played on his lips. "How could I possibly dislike you?"
Under the moonlight, a subtle, unreadable emotion flickered in Yan Shiman's beautiful phoenix eyes.
Bei Feng glanced down briefly, but was instantly captivated by Yan Shiman's ethereal beauty.
He was somewhat bewildered and didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Only the slight trembling of his fingertips hanging by his side revealed his inner panic.
But one thing is certain: regardless of whether the heir apparent marries or not, he will not leave the Prince of Runan's residence.
I will keep this unspoken feeling of mine hidden away, so that no one but myself will know about it.
He will do his best to protect the Crown Prince and fulfill his duty as a guard.
He would not have any other thoughts besides that.
Inside the main room of the Prince's mansion, Shen Yunjiao was holding her breath and taking the pulse of the Princess of Guangping, who was sleeping soundly.
The room was completely silent.
Shen Yunjiao turned her head and looked at the Prince of Guangping, who was trying his best to suppress the worry in his eyes. She asked indifferently, "When did the Princess Consort start sleeping? When she was pregnant, the Prince still went to the restaurant to drink?"
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Guangping's face instantly turned ugly. His chest heaved uncontrollably, and he was clearly enveloped in guilt and self-reproach.
Shunzi, the personal servant beside him, quickly defended his prince, "Miss, you misunderstand. The princess is six months pregnant. After being frightened last time, she often suffers from insomnia day and night and cannot get a good night's sleep. This evening, the princess said that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and told the prince that she did not need him to stay in the room. The prince was kicked out."
"Shunzi!" The Prince of Guangping's face turned pale and then red, and he sternly stopped the servant from saying anything more.
Shen Yunjiao understood. She looked up at the princess's personal maid and asked, "What did the princess do before going to bed?"
With red eyes, the old woman ran to Shen Yunjiao and cried, "The princess did nothing but drink a bowl of calming soup. She drinks this calming soup every day and has never had any problems before."
"Wait, what kind of calming soup did the princess drink?" Shen Yunjiao pressed.
"It's the calming soup that pregnant women or babies and children drink when they can't sleep." The old woman looked at Shen Yunjiao in confusion. This calming soup is not a rare medicine. Almost everyone in Dayong, especially those in the capital, drinks this soup when they can't sleep or have a fever.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao had a bad feeling.
Her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said to the nanny, "Bring me the herbs for the calming soup you mentioned so I can take a look."
The old woman exclaimed "Oh!" and hurriedly went out of the room to fetch it.
Prince Guangping paced anxiously to the side, and couldn't help but ask Shen Yunjiao, "Miss Shen, do you suspect there's something wrong with this medicine? It's not just Yan Zhen; we've all drunk this calming soup since we were little, whenever we had insomnia or palpitations."
"Your Highness, please be patient. Let me examine it first," Shen Yunjiao replied calmly. She then reached out and gently opened the princess's mouth, noticing her white, moist tongue coating, and formed a rough guess in her mind.
