Chapter 52: The Powerful Photographer vs. the Weak Substitute Daughter 14

Who dares to talk to him in that tone!

It seemed like it was her, but how could it be so since she was so timid?

Xi Chenmu didn't think for long before he completely lost consciousness due to fatigue and fever.

Wait for the government doctor to deliver the medicine.

Yun Yi also came back, "I will support the prince, Miss Lin, you feed the prince the medicine?"

"Okay." Lin Muqing scooped a little from each spoonful and fed it into his lips.

It took a long time to feed him all the medicine.

…

The next morning.

Xi Chenmu woke up after the drunkenness and fever subsided.

He had a terrible headache, so he sat up and took a moment to calm down. "Why am I here?"

Lin Muqing has already gone back, but Yun Yi is still here.

Yun Yi looked as if he had expected this, "My Lord, have you forgotten everything?"

"You came back from the palace last night and drank in the dining room. Then you developed a fever and felt unwell. It was Miss Lin who helped you back."

Xi Chenmu's mind went blank and he only remembered the two sentences he heard in his dream.

"With this body, you still want to tease me..."

"It's quite meaty..."

"Anything else?"

Yun Yi thought about it and said honestly, "No more."

He then thought of something and added, "And Miss Lin and your subordinates will feed you the medicine."

Xi Chenmu frowned, "The king wants to have breakfast."

I probably didn't eat anything last night.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Miss Lin right away." After Yun Yi left.

Xi Chenmu got out of bed. The headache he had just had was relieved and he felt much better. He saw a crumpled piece of rice paper in front of the desk where he usually painted.

There are two words on it.

One is Mu and the other is Mu.

The handwriting is delicate and neat, a bit like a woman's. It's not written by him.

That is...

A name is about to come out.

She is so timid that she shouldn't dare to touch my writing.

It's all because he always forgets things after drinking, so he drinks more tea on weekdays.

He placed one hand on the table, and with his right index finger he touched the first stroke of the word "暮", stroking it one stroke at a time with his fingertips.

The faint golden sunlight shone directly on the two words from the window, making them come alive.

"Mu, Mu."

Xi Chenmu stood there for a long time without leaving. His handsome profile was a little blurred in the sunlight, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.

Until Lin Muqing knocked on the door holding a bowl of porridge.

"Come in."

Lin Muqing walked in and put down the tray. "The court doctor said that you can't eat fish and need to drink lean meat porridge. Your Highness, please make do with it."

"Did you write this?" Xi Chenmu shook the paper.

When Lin Muqing turned her head and saw the rice paper in his hand, two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She blinked. Did he forget?

"No, Your Majesty, I remembered that the meatball soup was still cooking in the kitchen, so I left first."

"Take your time eating."

Xi Chenmu looked at her back as she was trying to leave in a hurry, but did not force her to stay.

The blushing look is etched in my mind and cannot be erased.

What on earth did he do last night?

…

Two days later, Xi Chenmu's body had completely recovered.

He probably fell ill because he hadn't slept for three days, but he had always been in good health, and after taking two doses of medicine he was completely cured.

But he didn't say it.

Lin Muqing brought meals over during meal times these past two days.

This morning, she brought breakfast.

Yun Yi and Yun Qin went out. At the door stood another unfamiliar guard, "Miss Lin, the prince hasn't gotten up yet."

"Come in."

Xi Chenmu's dull voice sounded from inside.

Lin Muqing pushed the door open and walked in. Xi Chenmu stood up in his underwear, his eyes half closed, looking like he had not woken up yet.

She walked over quietly, put down the porridge and dishes, and heard Xi Chenmu's voice coming from the other side.

"Come here."

Lin Muqing didn't understand what was going on, but he still went over and approached the bed, then he lifted the quilt.

"I am curious, what happened that night?"

Xi Chenmu's eyes were clear as he stared into her eyes, not missing any emotion.
