Helian Si looked at Nanrong Jinghua with concern, her expression questioning. She knew she wouldn't force the handsome tutor if he wasn't willing.
Nan Rong Jinghua nodded gently to Helian Si, reassuring him not to worry, before nodding slightly to the doctor and speaking.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, doctor."
This whole series of outrageous actions made Helian Ci's face darken and his teeth gritted. If the little coward hadn't been there, he would have already smacked Nan Rong Jinghua's shameless face with his teacup.
Helian Yi placed his hand to his lips, lowered his eyes, and a fleeting smile crossed his gentle face. He had never known that his usually aloof and detached teacher had such a side to him.
Helian You's handsome face darkened further, his starry eyes fixed fiercely on Nanrong Jinghua, as if he wanted to bore a hole through her with his gaze.
"How is it, Elder Zhong?"
Helian You spoke angrily, waiting for Elder Zhong to expose Nanrong Jinghua's hypocrisy. Elder Zhong was a veteran of the Prime Minister's residence.
Helian You was trustworthy, and Helian Si was also nervously watching Elder Zhong, fearing that something might be wrong with the handsome tutor's health.
Old Zhong placed his hand on Nan Rong Jinghua's pulse, his brow furrowed for a long time. Nan Rong Jinghua's face was deathly pale, a truly heartbreaking sight.
After a long while, Elder Zhong stood up and addressed the group, "Reporting to Your Highnesses and the Princess..."
Although Young Master Jinghua's poison has been cured, his body is extremely weak and needs careful recuperation to avoid developing any chronic illness.
Helian Ci immediately frowned in displeasure, staring at Nan Rong Jinghua who was sitting on the soft couch. His dark eyes narrowed slightly. What, is he really sick?
"Dr. Zhong, are you sure you didn't make a mistake because of tremors?"
Helian You was equally displeased, his tone sharp as he stared at Nanrong Jinghua with suspicion.
"Your Highness, shall I... examine you again?"
Old Master Zhong realized that the Second Prince and the Third Prince were dissatisfied with Young Master Jinghua.
Helian You was about to agree when he heard Helian Yi speak up gently from the side.
"I have heard of Elder Zhong's medical skills, and I am sure they are not wrong. Let the Master rest."
"Yes, yes, Second Brother and Third Brother, I know you don't like the Master, but he's already so weak, so please don't make things difficult for him."
Helian Si chimed in, "How could the handsome tutor be faking his pale face?"
Helian Si's clearly protective words nearly made Helian Ci and Helian You's noses twitch with anger. Their imperial sister had grown up!
At the same time, he felt a pang of sadness. He had doted on his little princess since she was a child, and suddenly she belonged to someone else. Who would be happy about that?
"Alright, Second Brother and Third Brother, don't compare yourselves to the handsome tutor. You will always be Sisi's closest brothers."
Helian Si wasn't really oblivious; he was attentive when necessary. He stepped forward, took one of their arms with each of them, and softened his voice, acting coquettishly.
"That sounds nice."
What could Helian Ci do? Could he, a dignified seven-foot man, really compete with a little coward? He patted Helian Si's head.
"Third brother~"
Helian Si turned his head again and blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes at Helian You as much as he could. Don't be fooled by how easygoing his third brother usually is.
But Helian Si knew that when Helian You really got stubborn, he was even harder to appease than his father. Sigh.
Helian You reached out and gently patted Helian Si's head, making his handsome, dark face look a little better.
"Don't be fooled by hypocritical people."
