The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu stared into Ye Xiaohan's eyes and said conservatively, "It's probably something important. Your Majesty doesn't have to tell me. I'm not curious."

Ye Xiaohan has his own things to do, and she also has a secret to hide, so they should leave some space between them and not interfere in everything.

Ye Xiaohan opened his thin lips and said faintly, "It has something to do with the emperor. The emperor sent people to chase the carriage in the palace, and I ordered them to kill them all. Then, I left the palace and went to do some things myself."

"It's so dangerous to run out when your legs are not healed!" Yun Mujiu was not sure what Ye Xiaohan had done specifically, but seeing Ye Xiaohan running around as a patient, Yun Mujiu, a worried doctor, became anxious.

"Are you worried about me? Mu Jiu..." Ye Xiaohan put down the teacup, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

"No," Yun Mujiu denied hastily, "I just don't want all the work I did to heal you to go to waste."

Ye Xiaohan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "That's also a kind of concern, right?"

Yun Mujiu was speechless. She couldn't deny that caring about the patient was also a form of concern. Moreover, when she thought about it carefully, her current feelings towards Ye Xiaohan were not just indifference.

She evaded the question by saying, "Well, it's just the doctor's concern for the patient."

"A little concern is enough. I care, and I am happy."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You talk strangely today!" Yun Mujiu was slightly displeased. Ye Xiaohan's attitude when talking to him was strange, completely different from his previous cold and aloof attitude.

Ye Xiaohan paused, and then a low, magnetic voice slowly sounded, explaining: "I thought I had shown it clearly enough, and you would understand my feelings."

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

That can't be what you mean!

Ye Xiaohan only cared about her from time to time, how could he accept her completely? How could he be like the lover she had imagined, who would tolerate, accept, and cherish her wholeheartedly?

Ye Xiaohan pulled up his collar and sat up straighter. "Let's have a serious talk, okay?"

Yun Mujiu nodded, "What does the prince want to talk about? Do you want me to prepare to leave the mansion?" Ye Xiaohan had someone to treat his leg, and she was injured, so she couldn't help much. She had saved Ye Xiaohan from taking a poison bath before, so it was a disguised way of fulfilling the alliance contract made on the wedding day, right?

Ye Xiaohan frowned: "Let's discuss the relationship between us. I don't want you to leave the house! You can't leave without my consent!"

"First, I owe you in advance, and I will compensate you for the injuries you suffered because of me. But our contract has not yet been fulfilled, and you can't leave!"

Ye Xiaohan thought that Yun Mujiu might say, "Then wait until you are well before leaving." He said quickly, "Even if I am well, you can't leave right away! Things haven't come to the end yet, and I might not be able to fully recover in the end."

Yun Mujiu pursed her lips. How did Ye Xiaohan know that she wanted to leave after he got better... She had no regrets and had to leave naturally.

What Ye Xiaohan said made sense. If he left the house and he didn't recover, it wouldn't be considered as fulfilling the agreement.

Moreover, the medical system will determine that she has not fulfilled her medical responsibilities, and the punishment will be even more severe!

Yun Mujiu compromised: "Okay."

Ye Xiaohan continued: "Secondly, in addition to my injury, you are also injured. It is best for you to rest for a while..."

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan's face. He had a calm expression but serious eyes.

"I know." She stopped trying to be stubborn and didn't refuse directly. Her current health really didn't allow her to travel too much, and after she left the mansion, the people from the Yun Mansion and the Emperor and Empress might hunt her down...

Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu's inner room and noticed the white jade banana leaf rouge box on the bedside.

He had already organized his words in his mind, and said slowly: "Third, stay in Ye Mansion, this will be your safe home, I will protect you and fully support you in doing what you want to do."

"Besides, you have to take revenge. Yefu will help you when you need it. You are the only mistress of Yefu."

"With the identity and status of Princess Ye, I can better help you practice medicine, and it will be more convenient to treat Ye Chufeng..."

"The Meng family will soon return to the capital. You are getting divorced right after your wedding, which may make them worried. You should have a status in the Ye Mansion and meet the Meng family properly..."

Ye Xiaohan spoke a long speech in one breath. He was usually taciturn and rarely spoke to people so patiently, and he spoke so many words at once.

Yun Mujiu listened to Ye Xiaohan's clear and logical words, and her mind moved. Ye Xiaohan's analysis was indeed reasonable, and she had also thought about the pros and cons of continuing to stay in Ye Mansion.

She looked at Ye Xiaohan with surprise in her eyes—she didn’t expect Ye Xiaohan to want to keep her so sincerely! The man in front of her didn’t look so cold anymore…

She was unsure of Ye Xiaohan's true intentions, so she asked cautiously, "My Lord, should I wait until the time is right before leaving?"

Ye Xiaohan's eyes moved slightly, he felt angry and amused in his heart, Yun Mujiu was so silly and cute!

He said calmly, "Come here."

Yun Mujiu stood up and slowly walked to Ye Xiaohan. She leaned over and cast a curious gaze at the sitting Ye Xiaohan, "What's wrong, my lord?"

Ye Xiaohan reached out and pinched Yun Mujiu's cheek! "Well... the food in the Ye Mansion is okay. Your face has gained some flesh, and you are not as skinny as before."

Just as Yun Mujiu was about to push Ye Xiaohan's hand away, Ye Xiaohan withdrew his hand from pinching his face, looking calm, as if he had done nothing.

Yun Mujiu's words of accusation were stuck in her throat. If she hadn't seen Ye Xiaohan's actions with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed that Ye Xiaohan would do such a thing.

Why do I feel that Ye Xiaohan's personality has changed, becoming - a little sinister?

She stood up straight, quietly took a half step back, and said with some dissatisfaction, "My Lord, why are you pinching my face?"

Ye Xiaohan had a blank expression on his face, as if he was not the one pinching Yun Mujiu's face. He said frankly, "I suddenly wanted to pinch you... I want to see if you have lost weight."

I didn't find his behavior surprising at all.

Yun Mujiu had an oval face with smooth contours. Because she was too thin, her cheeks were a little thin, and from a distance she looked like a melon seed face. When Ye Xiaohan pinched the tight flesh on Yun Mujiu's cheeks, his hard heart softened.

Yun Mujiu pouted and snorted, "You've crossed the line."

Ye Xiaohan had never seen Yun Mujiu look so uncomfortable. Yes, no matter how good her medical skills were or how capable she was, her age and mental state were only that of a young girl who had just reached adulthood!

Ye Xiaohan curled the corners of his lips, "I just wanted to see if you've lost weight."

Yun Mujiu said with a stern face, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing and making fun of me. I am not your pet to be teased when you are happy and thrown aside when you are unhappy."

Ye Xiaohan said seriously: "I'm not kidding you, and you're not a pet."

He stretched out his long arm and pulled Yun Mujiu's hand, holding the small hand with his big hand and reaching straight to his face.

He pinched with his big hands, and Yun Mujiu's small hands followed suit and pinched his cheeks.

Yun Mujiu felt the heat coming from her hand, her heart trembled, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu's actions and said, "You pinch my face back too, and we're even now."

Yun Mujiu slowly calmed down, with a helpless smile on her face. What else could she do to Ye Xiaohan?

Ye Xiaohan suddenly raised his voice, his voice cold and solemn: "Yun Mujiu you are such an idiot! Don't you understand what I mean?"
