Liu Chun, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this.
The older you are, the more you think of someone else?
She immediately looked at Wen Yu's reaction, but saw that she had her legs crossed and was staring at the Shengjing prefect leisurely, not looking angry.
The prefect of Shengjing was so shocked by Wen Yu's "Oh?" that his whole body tensed up.
The eldest princess often seems to have a calm attitude, but in fact she is very intimidating.
But he still had to hold his breath and plead for Yue Lingfeng: "Princess, everything I said is true. Lord Yue and that woman have never had an affair. He works hard every day in Shengjing Prefecture. How can he have time to have a secret meeting? Even if there was any affection and love in the past, it has disappeared now. Lord Yue only has you in his heart!"
"Nonsense..."
Yue Lingfeng panted and scolded.
Shengjing Prefecture Governor: ...
He explained it for him, and he actually said he was talking nonsense!
Is he risking his life for that woman?!
Although Yue Lingfeng gradually woke up, he still had no strength in his body. This scolding, which was shouted at with all his might, made things even worse, and his throat couldn't stop itching.
He couldn't help but cough several times, until his cheeks turned red, but he didn't stop.
He tried to explain in a hurry, but he coughed even harder. His eyes started to turn slightly red, and a trace of moisture overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
We can no longer allow the Shengjing prefect to talk nonsense, otherwise who knows what nonsense he will say to the princess and cause her to misunderstand him.
If there had not been a screen between them, Yue Lingfeng would have probably already stared countless holes into the body of the Shengjing prefect.
It would be fine if she just talked nonsense to him on normal days, but today she actually talked nonsense to the princess while he was unconscious.
Fortunately, his fever had subsided and he was regaining some consciousness.
Otherwise, if the princess believed the words of the Shengjing prefect and treated him coldly from then on, he would not even know what had happened to make the princess dislike him.
You know, princesses care most about men's chastity.
He must explain it clearly at the first opportunity.
Yue Lingfeng struggled to lie on the edge of the bed, panting and calling out, "Princess..."
When Wen Yu heard Yue Lingfeng coughing, she stood up, sat down beside the bed, and pushed him back into the quilt.
She touched Yue Lingfeng's forehead and said, "Lie down and don't move. Your fever has just subsided. Cover yourself with a blanket and don't let the wind blow. Otherwise, I don't know when you will recover. How can you serve me, the princess?"
Yue Lingfeng felt the softness and warmth on his forehead, and his heart suddenly softened and calmed down.
He looked at Wen Yu quietly with a smile on his face, and lay down obediently.
He was anxious. The princess was very insightful and was not the kind of person who would simply believe a few words from others and abandon him without listening to any explanation.
He should also have confidence in the princess.
But he still gently held Wen Yu's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Princess, don't listen to his nonsense."
However, the prefect of Shengjing understood it differently, thinking that Yue Lingfeng was denying that the princess was the only one in his heart.
He thought to himself, Master Yue, why are you making trouble for no reason? I am explaining this for you!
"Princess, I am not talking nonsense! Lord Yue must have been confused due to the fever. He clearly only has you in his heart right now!"
Yue Lingfeng: ...
He really wanted the Shengjing prefect to get out.
I don't know where he got this fallacy from!
Wen Yu was amused by Yue Lingfeng's expression. It was rare to see him so angry.
His face was as red as a little puffer fish.
She pinched Yue Lingfeng's face, stood up, walked to the prefect of Shengjing, and said lightly: "The prefect of Shengjing who criticized others behind their backs will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
Shengjing Prefecture Governor: ...
He was about to cry out that he was wronged, but when he didn't object, Wen Yu looked at him and said leisurely, "The young lady that Yue Lingfeng mentioned is not someone else, but this princess."
Shengjing Prefecture Governor: ...
His eyes went dark when he heard that, but he gradually came to his senses.
What stupid thing did he do?
Although he knew that Lord Yue was deeply in love with the princess, he actually thought that he had someone else in his heart. It was only because of the princess's status that he had to keep it deep in his heart, and only dared to reveal his true feelings after he fell ill and was drunk.
But I didn’t expect that this “young lady” was the eldest princess!
In fact, it is not surprising that the Shengjing prefect thought so. After all, he believed that he also loved his wife, but that did not prevent him from taking multiple concubines.
He believed that men could never be consistent, which led to his misjudgment.
These twenty strokes of the cane are not a loss. Just consider it as a lesson.
Don’t doubt anyone else, especially the eldest princess’ man.
The prefect of Shengjing wanted to cry but couldn't, so he had to put on a smile: "Your humble servant accepts the reward."
Then he left dejectedly.
Yue Lingfeng lay obediently on the bed, tilting his head to look at the screen: "Princess, I was really scared just now."
"What are you afraid of?"
Wen Yu walked forward and tapped the tip of his nose: "Are you afraid that I don't want you anymore?"
"The princess will not abandon me."
Unless he makes a mistake in principle, he will never let it happen.
"You are quite confident."
Wen Yu touched his forehead and cheeks again, and after confirming that the temperature had not risen again, she asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Yue Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly with some greed, and rubbed his cheek gently on Wen Yu's palm: "No, I feel very good."
"Would you like some water?"
"No."
"Aren't you thirsty?"
"I'm not thirsty." Yue Lingfeng said softly, "Princess, you should go back. I'm afraid I'll make you sick."
"Not really, or do you want me to leave?"
“…I don’t hope.”
Yue Lingfeng gently held Wen Yu's hand and closed his eyes, "I am a little sleepy..."
He was originally awakened by the Shengjing prefect's outrageous actions. Now that Wen Yu was by his side, he relaxed, the effect of the medicine took effect, and he immediately felt sleepy.
"Get some sleep."
Wen Yu placed a light kiss on Yue Lingfeng's lips, "Don't be so stubborn in the future."
And Yue Lingfeng had already fallen asleep.
Wen Yu gently pulled her hand back without waking him up.
After a while, someone came to report that the Minister of Dali Temple came to visit.
Wen Yu:?
Jiang Qi visited Yue Lingfeng and found it strange and bizarre.
