Qin Kou'er stood awkwardly on the ground, her whole body stiff, but her mind was racing.
"I don't need to have my pulse taken. I'm perfectly healthy, why should I get involved with the princess?"
Shu Lingxi immediately smiled and walked over, grabbing Qin Kou'er's hand and pulling her towards the chair. "You can't say that. Physical ailments aren't visible to the naked eye, and they don't usually show up. But when they really flare up, their ferocity is unstoppable. Haven't you heard of illness coming like a landslide and recovering like pulling silk? So, a woman's body needs to be well-maintained. Since we've come here today, let's have Mr. Jun take a look at us together!"
Qin Kou'er wanted to withdraw her hand, but she absolutely couldn't let everyone see, so she gently pulled Shu Lingxi closer and said, "If Yan Nuo wants to take my pulse, he can just go home. There's really no need to rush into this with the Princess. The most important thing right now is the Princess..."
"It's just a matter of getting medicine and conditioning together, why bother with all that trouble! Kou'er, you don't need to be so polite with me!"
As she spoke, Shu Lingxi continued to drag Qin Kou'er toward the chair.
Finally, after helping Qin Kou'er into the chair, Jun Yannuo sat down opposite her with a smile and said softly, "Since I have time today, I'll take a look at it for you!"
Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo, her heart pounding uncontrollably. She couldn't let her body's secret be discovered now, otherwise many things would become difficult later.
How can I get away from this?
think!
Think of one right away!
Think of something quickly!
Just as Qin Kou'er was smiling under everyone's noses, her mind was racing with thoughts, a leisurely voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Seventh Uncle, has Kou'er not left yet?"
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Kou'er immediately relaxed, and the sweat that had been glistening on her forehead finally dried up.
Shu Lingxi and the others immediately turned their heads away, and Lan Linxue walked in leisurely.
Qin Kou'er had never felt so reliant on Lan Linxue as she did at this moment, because she knew that with Lan Linxue's arrival, all the crises in front of her were resolved.
Lan Qingtian saw Lan Linxue, took a step forward, frowned and asked, "Why aren't you out there on business? What are you doing here?"
Lan Linxue glanced at Lan Qingtian, then at Qin Kou'er and Jun Yannuo, who had extended his hand in a gesture to take her pulse. She couldn't help but frown and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
Shu Lingxi smiled and waved to Lan Linxue, "Linxue, come here. Mr. Jun is about to take Miss Qin's pulse..."
Lan Linxue only heard one sentence before she wanted to rush over and slap Jun Yannuo to death.
However, he managed to control his emotions. He knew better than anyone how intelligent Shu Lingxi was.
Seeing Qin Kou'er shake her head slightly at him, he knew that she absolutely did not want anyone to know about this matter. Therefore, even though he was very anxious, he still maintained the composure he had when he came in.
She walked over slowly, took Qin Kou'er's hand, and said to Shu Lingxi with a smile, "Auntie, let's talk about the pulse diagnosis later. I have something urgent to discuss with Kou'er right now, and it can't be delayed."
Shu Lingxi immediately glared at Lan Linxue with dissatisfaction: "What urgent matter could be so short of a moment? Are you going to cause trouble again for no reason?"
Lan Linxue smiled and shook her head. "Auntie, how old am I to still be causing trouble! This time it really isn't. The Prince's mansion is under renovation, and Father Emperor had some exquisite decorations made for me. I need to have Kou'er come with me to see where they'd be suitable. The people there are waiting right now, and you know how precious those things are, especially since they were gifts from Father Emperor. I can't just let them carry them around forever; it would be terrible if they broke them!"
Without waiting for anyone's agreement, Lan Linxue grabbed Qin Kou'er and left.
Anyway, he was no different from being at home in Lan Qingtian's courtyard. Even if he behaved a little messily, no one would think it was a problem.
Qin Kou'er pretended to be helplessly pulled along by Lan Linxue while apologetically bidding farewell to Shu Lingxi. She also instructed Jun Yannuo to examine the herbs before returning to Qin Tian Pavilion.
Shu Lingxi watched Lan Linxue's retreating figure, stomping her feet in anger, "That brat, he never stops being quiet."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lan Qingtian immediately flew into a rage: "Wife, are you upset? Should I go and beat this brat up right now?"
Shu Lingxi immediately glared at him, "Why are you hitting me? Aren't you waiting for someone to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die?"
Lan Qingtian immediately grinned sheepishly, "We're going to have a child, so we won't need this little bastard anymore!"
"Pah! How could you say such heartless things! You may not need me, but I do! Let me tell you, don't you dare lay a finger on Lin Xue!"
As she spoke, Shu Lingxi sat down again, smiling as she talked to Jun Yannuo, and casually asked about other matters.
Lan Qingtian, feeling somewhat disappointed after being rebuffed, sat down next to Shu Lingxi and continued talking to Jun Yannuo.
Lan Linxue initially walked quite leisurely with Qin Kou'er in hand, but as soon as they were out of Lan Qingtian's sight, she quickly grabbed her and almost started running.
Only after leaving the palace gates and getting into Lan Linxue's carriage did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on? Why did your aunt suddenly decide to take your pulse?"
Thinking about the urgency of the situation just now, Lan Linxue couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
Qin Kou'er then recounted the whole story of Jun Yannuo examining Shu Lingxi's pulse, including Lan Xiuyuan's visit.
