This was the first time that such a girl had intruded into his private space, and her presence was so strong that he couldn't ignore her, yet he... didn't dislike her.
The way she sat there quietly clearly showed that she didn't want to disturb him.
He wanted to tell her to go back, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Furthermore, with others present, he surprisingly let down his long-established vigilance and guardedness, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Wen Nong Nong was afraid of disturbing his sleep, so she remained very quiet and didn't make a sound.
She looked up when she heard the man's steady breathing.
Is Gu Linchao asleep?
She did not leave, but waited for the imperial physician to arrive.
Not long after, Wang Houde returned with Physician Lin.
Wen Nongnong hurriedly went out to greet him, then put a finger to her lips and instructed, "The prince is asleep, please keep your voice down."
The two nodded.
Wen Nongnong then led the two inside.
The three of them tiptoed in, not daring to make a sound.
When they reached the bedside, Wen Nongnong gently pulled Gu Linchao's hand out from under the covers so that Physician Lin could take his pulse.
Physician Lin very carefully felt his pulse.
The three of them were very careful and dared not make a sound, but in fact, Gu Linchao had already woken up when Wang Houde and Physician Lin returned.
Seeing this, the three of them remained silent.
A moment later, Physician Lin withdrew his hand.
Wen Nong Nong put Gu Linchao's hand back under the covers, then asked Physician Lin to go to the outer room to talk.
"Imperial Physician Lin, how is our prince's condition?" she asked softly.
Gu Linchao, who was inside, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing her words.
Our prince...
It was just an ordinary sentence, but for some reason, hearing it come from her mouth gave him a strange feeling.
I don't reject it, and... I'm even a little secretly pleased.
"Your Highness, His Highness suffers from excessive internal heat, and the high fever is due to catching a chill. I will prescribe some antipyretics, Your Highness, please have someone brew them for His Highness to take. That should bring down his fever," Physician Lin said respectfully as he went to write the prescription.
Wen Nong Nong turned to look at Wang Houde, and said with some surprise, "How did Your Highness catch a cold out of nowhere?"
Wang Houde frowned and said, "Your Highness took several cold showers last night..."
Wen Nongnong's eyes widened. "It's still springtime. How can you take cold showers, and several times at that? Why didn't you stop me?"
Wang Houde said with a bitter face, "How could a servant possibly stop his master?"
Hearing this from the side, Imperial Physician Lin stroked his beard and subtly reminded Wen Nong Nong, "Your Highness is in the prime of your life, and using cold water to relieve your pent-up emotions is not a proper way. Besides, it is still springtime, and even the strongest body cannot withstand a cold bath."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
What does it mean to use cold water to relieve symptoms, which is not a proper method?
Also, what did Gu Linchao use cold water to relieve?
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask Physician Lin what the proper way to relieve the pain was.
But as a seasoned bookworm who had read several erotic novels, she quickly understood what Physician Lin meant.
If she were to ask another question, she would be being incredibly pretentious.
However, Gu Linchao took cold showers because of physiological needs...
She thought he was a man of few desires and little appetite, but she never expected that he would have such a strong need for cold water baths several times a night to relieve himself.
Thinking she had discovered Gu Linchao's little secret, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, Physician Lin. I understand."
