Upon hearing Mu Yunge’s words, the imperial physician paused and then looked at Yan Fei, whose complexion was somewhat abnormal.
Eunuchs were not normally authorized to be examined by imperial physicians, but since it was the Ninth Princess’s order, he could not disobey.
He simply didn’t understand why the Ninth Princess insisted that this young eunuch’s illness was her own.
The imperial physician was completely baffled, so he simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Yan Fei, saying, “Please sit down, Eunuch, so I can take your pulse.”
Hearing this, Yan Fei pursed his lips, then nodded and sat down.
He had deliberately taken a cold shower to catch a cold in order to avoid the Ninth Princess, but he hadn’t expected her to directly summon the imperial physician.
While feeling touched, Yan Fei became even more determined to keep his distance from Mu Yunge.
He couldn’t be as close to her as before; otherwise, he feared he might lose control and do something to hurt her.
Soon, the imperial physician finished examining Yan Fei and prescribed medicine.
Before leaving, the imperial physician heard Mu Yunge say coldly, “Imperial Physician Li knows what to say, doesn’t he?”
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Li quickly replied, “This humble official understands. Please rest assured, Princess!”
“Hmm, you may leave.” Mu Yunge said indifferently.
Then, Mu Yunge said to Chun Xiao, “Chun Xiao, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get the medicine.”
“Yes, Princess.” Chun Xiao nodded quickly.
Then she took the prescription and left.
Soon, only Mu Yunge and Yan Fei remained in the hall.
Mu Yunge didn’t expose the fact that he was deliberately being cold to her. She just glanced at him and said, “Since you’re sick, go back and take good care of yourself. You don’t need to take care of me for a while.”
Hearing this, Yan Fei bowed his head and thanked her, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
This was exactly the result he wanted, but hearing her say she didn’t need his service made him feel so uncomfortable.
Mu Yunge frowned, noticing his slightly stiff body, and said, “Alright, go and rest well.”
“Thank you, Princess. This servant takes his leave.” Yan Fei said in a low voice.
He then glanced at her briefly before turning and striding away.
…
For the next month, Yan Fei was recuperating. Mu Yunge didn’t bother him anymore, as if she weren’t the one who needed someone to be with her to fall asleep.
Yan Fei gradually transitioned from serving in the inner palace to working in the outer palace and rarely entered Mu Yunge’s inner room anymore.
However, every time he saw Mu Yunge, Yan Fei’s gaze would unconsciously linger on her.
Mu Yunge pretended not to notice.
This guy wanted to deliberately give her the cold shoulder?
Fine, she’d play along!
She wanted to see how long he could endure it!
Another month passed, and news arrived from the barbarian tribes. After leaving the Great Zhou border, Suo Tu and his group encountered a group of bandits on their return journey. The bandits were brutal; they not only intercepted the imperial gifts but also cruelly crippled two princes. Thus, of the three princes of the barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall, only the eleven-year-old Third Prince remained.
When the news reached the Great Zhou, the court officials couldn’t help but sigh, while secretly rejoicing that it wasn’t happening within their Great Zhou territory.
However, no one sympathized with the two princes. When they were in the capital, they had harmed several innocent women, so this was their just deserts.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge remained indifferent, and Yan Fei didn’t come to inquire about what he had done.
However, from then on, Mu Yunge frequently visited Zhou Hao again.
