Seeing Yun Chan's slightly chapped lips, Yuan Yao turned around, clumsily poured a cup of hot water, and walked to the bedside.
She was too short to reach Yun Chan.
It feels awful to be short!
Yuan Yao pursed her lips and carefully held the water bottle above her head: "Yun Chan, have a sip of water first."
Yun Chan really wanted to say: I won't drink!
But the little one by the bed held his water glass high, his expression serious, his doe-like eyes dark and bright, innocent and sincere; his concern for him didn't seem fake...
Yun Chan turned her face away: "I'm not thirsty, put the cup down."
To avoid ruining yourself.
Yuan Yao, however, did not understand his complicated thoughts.
She noticed that he was indeed somewhat dehydrated.
With lips so dry, how could I not be thirsty?
Yuan Yao blinked: "Your lips are about to split open!"
Yun Chan: "..."
He frowned slightly and asked, "Do I look ugly right now?"
Yuan Yao burst out laughing.
So, it turns out that this little oddball actually cares quite a bit about her appearance?
She smiled brightly: "Yun Chan isn't ugly at all. Yun Chan has always been beautiful; she's never been ugly!"
Yun Chan: "..."
His ear tips felt inexplicably hot.
But I still felt a lump in my throat.
I feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Just then, Ah Qi called from outside, "Your Highness, the ginseng soup is ready. Would you like to drink it now, or later?"
Yuan Yao recalled that A Qi said Yun Chan hadn't wanted to take her medicine these past two days, and the imperial physician had to force-feed her...
Thinking it over, she said to the person outside the hall, "Bring the medicine in."
She has to supervise Xiaobie's medication intake!
The little girl is so young, yet she's already so beautiful. When she grows up, she'll surely charm countless girls.
No matter what, he has to grow up smoothly into adulthood!
As Yun Chan grows up, her appearance may even surpass that of the Nine Thousand Years Old...
Wow, I'm suddenly really looking forward to it!
She probably felt a kind of... excitement about raising a son?
Hahaha...
Yuan Yao was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yun Chan, I'll feed you ginseng soup. After you finish drinking it, you should take a good nap."
In the afternoon, if you feel better, let Ah Qi accompany you to the East Lake Palace to find me.
If you're still not feeling well, just lie down and rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow.
Yun Chan: "Mm."
"Good boy!"
Yuan Yao placed the water glass on the bedside table, stood on tiptoe, raised her fair and tender little hand, and rubbed Yun Chan's head.
It's so soft and feels amazing!
Yun Chan pursed her lips, trying to turn her face away.
Why did he see a motherly tenderness on Yuan Yao's face?
Motherly love?
The thought of this word made Yun Chan even more unhappy.
He pursed his lips, leaned against the edge of the bed, and lowered his eyelashes.
Yuan Yao laboriously crawled to the edge of the bed and sat down: "Bring the soup over."
She took the bowl, held it carefully, scooped some water with a spoon, blew on it before feeding it to Yun Chan: "Ah..."
Yun Chan: "..."
He reluctantly opened his mouth and drank the ginseng soup.
After feeding Yuan Yao the ginseng soup, she was almost sweating from exhaustion.
She shook her sore little hands and said to Yun Chan, "You rest well, okay? I should leave the palace now. If it gets late, I might be late for Father's banquet!"
After speaking, she grabbed the edge of the bed with her little hands, jumped with all her might, and landed on the ground.
"Yuan Yao," Yun Chan called to her.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yao bent down, putting on her shoes.
Yun Chan coughed lightly and asked, "Can your carriage... still carry passengers?"
“Yes, I can!” Yuan Yao stood up.
The carriage that the Ninth Prince provided for her was very large; it was so spacious that even lying down inside would not be a problem, let alone sitting in it!
Yun Chan covered her lips, her small voice a little hoarse: "I'm tired of lying down these days, and I want to go out for a walk. May I go to the palace with you?"
this……
Yuan Yao frowned: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask the imperial physician."
After speaking, she jogged out of the Pillow Star Palace.
Originally, she only told Yunchan to go to the palace in the afternoon to make him happy.
Perhaps, after taking the medicine, he fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to leave the palace...
Outside the Pillow Star Palace, Xie Ning stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.
Yuan Yao walked over and asked, "Given Yun Chan's current physical condition, is it safe for her to leave the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ning turned around and asked, "What is he doing out of the palace?"
Yuan Yao replied, "I guess I'm bored and want to go out for some fresh air."
"Get some fresh air?" Xie Ning chuckled. "It's not impossible, but his body is too weak. I'm afraid we'll have to call the imperial physician along."
Should we summon the imperial physician?
That won't do!
Having the imperial physician along is too conspicuous!
Yuan Yao said, "The envoy from Chu will also be present today."
If Yun Chan were accompanied by the imperial physician, it would likely only give the Chu envoy an opportunity to make things difficult for my father.
"Oh?" Xie Ning raised an eyebrow and said mischievously, "Isn't there a doctor here who's even better than the imperial physician?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She underestimated Xie Ning.
He has a really thick skin.
but……
Taking the opportunity, Yuan Yao asked, "Uncle, today, the palace maids around me will be very busy. You don't understand palace etiquette, so why don't you... take a day off?"
"On vacation?" Xie Ning looked puzzled.
Yuan Yao raised her little head and winked at him: "Today, you can pretend to be Yun Chan's attendant!"
This is such a difficult task, Uncle, how could I trouble you to do it? Why don't you put the painting back?
"Once today is over and you're not so tired anymore, you can take Danqing back and come back to my side."
"Great idea!" Xie Ning smiled brightly.
Yun Chan took A Qi with her and rode in Yuan Yao's carriage.
To make Yunchan more comfortable, the carriage was lined with soft cushions, so no matter how bumpy it was, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
As the carriage was about to leave the capital, Xie Ning said, "Wait a moment, I have something to take care of."
He probably drank about a cup of tea.
When they returned, Danqing was deathly pale as she climbed into the carriage.
She glanced at Yuan Yao, then bit her lip: "Princess..."
Yuan Yao shook her head at her.
Xie Ning followed behind Danqing, and when she got into the car, she had already changed her appearance again.
He wore ordinary servant clothes, similar to Ah Qi's, and his face had been altered to resemble that of an ordinary man.
Once inside the carriage, Xie Ning smiled and said, "This servant, A Ning, knows a little about medicine. During our stay at the palace, I will stay by Prince Yun's side and take care of him personally."
Yuan Yao: "..."
I really want to expose him on the spot!
No, she has to endure it!
Her antidote is still in Xie Ning's hands...
Throughout the journey, Danqing held Yuanyao's hand, her body trembling slightly.
Yuan Yao took her hand in return and patted her gently.
Danqing then stopped trembling.
When they arrived outside the palace, people were already waiting for them.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, the deputy chief eunuch in charge of the palace stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Princess, the sun is strong. Please come with me to your villa to rest, lest you get sunburned."
"No need!" Yuan Yao said with a smile, "You make the arrangements to settle Prince Yun Chan in the villa next to mine and take him to rest. I still have to help out in the kitchen today!"
The eunuch glanced at Yun Chan: "This..."
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yao's smile faded slightly: "Does assigning courtyards require consulting the Ninth Prince?"
The eunuch quickly bowed: "Your Highness is too kind. However, I heard that the young prince is ill, so his villa has been arranged to be rather secluded..."
secluded?
Is it in a remote area?
These people really know how to cater to different tastes!
Yuan Yao frowned: "Who lives in the courtyard next to mine? I'll go find him and switch places!"
Just as the eunuch was about to reply, a voice rang out: "It's me!"
Lin Xuan?
The people who arrived were Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan.
Upon seeing Yun Chan, Lin Xuan's expression turned displeased: "Young Prince Yun, do you wish to switch courtyards with this young marquis?"
Yun Chan: "..."
Yun Chan frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing. Her frail figure staggered in the sunlight. She covered her mouth, coughing hoarsely, "Princess, no... there's no need to change... Where is my courtyard? I'll... go there myself, cough cough..."
