"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?" Nian Susu was a little worried and stood up with the help of the round table.

His face was flushed strangely and he did not look very good. As a doctor, she was extremely perceptive.

Qin Junyu's eyes were up and down, and he didn't dare to look at her directly, "The king is fine, don't worry, Miss Nian."

He looked left and right, and walked to the seat where Qin Fengtian had just sat. There was a half-empty cup of tea on the table, and he immediately felt unhappy.

She even drank tea? How long did Qin Fengtian stay in her room?

And there was Nian Susu. I had clearly reminded her not to stay alone with that bastard, and she nodded in agreement, but she was caught red-handed tonight.

Qin Junyu's face was no longer red, but black.

Now Nian Susu was even more worried. He had a high fever just now, but now he was emitting cold all over. How could he be okay?

She walked around half of the round table to him, spread out her palm, and motioned him to stretch out his hand. "I know a little bit about medicine. I'll know if you're okay with a quick check."

If something happened to this man in her yard, she would definitely be responsible. To be on the safe side, she had to take his pulse.

But he pulled his sleeves to cover his wrists in anger and said, "You won't die."

Her attitude was as if someone owed him millions. She was clearly helping him with his medical treatment out of kindness, but he seemed to be treating her like a thief.

Nian Susu sneered, and his tone was even more arrogant than his, "Well, even if you're not feeling unwell, you won't die if I take your pulse, right?"

Nian Susu was always respectful and polite when speaking to him, and had never overstepped the boundaries or acted insolently. But from his current attitude, it was obvious that he was really angry.

Qin Junyu suddenly became dispirited, and dared not pretend to be so. His tone was much softer, "Miss Nian, the king is really fine, there is no need to look."

He clenched his sleeves and firmly disagreed.

It was something that could be solved by just reaching out and letting her touch him, but he couldn't do it.

Otherwise how to explain that his pulse is exactly the same as Xuan Ji's? He cannot reveal his identity.

In order to divert Nian Susu's attention, Qin Junyu said seriously:

"Miss Nian, please sit down first. I have something very important to say."

As expected, Nian Susu's stern face suddenly relaxed. He returned to his seat, sat down, and looked at Qin Junyu seriously, waiting for what to say next.

"I have conducted a comprehensive search in the city these days and found traces of the criminal in several places. This person is very cunning and has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Every time, I can only find traces of his existence but cannot catch him."

His face was solemn. This matter was very tricky.

"But one thing is certain. The knife stabbed by the young girl that night caused him serious injuries, so no other girls have been killed during this period of time."

Nian Susu was relieved that at least she had made some contribution.

"Since he's injured, we need to buy medicine. Let's have someone guard the city's medical clinic. Maybe we can catch him there?"

Qin Junyu shook his head. He had thought of this a long time ago. "This is how cunning he is. My people have already guarded all the medical clinics in the city, and also found the remnants of the wound medicine at his temporary residence, but he is nowhere to be seen. I guess he bribed others to help get the medicine."

Nian Susu's palms were sweating as he clenched his fists. He was extremely anxious. Could he just sit there and wait for the criminal to recover and come back? His injury was the best time to catch him, as he was weak.

"Your Highness, I have an idea."

She leaned forward and motioned Qin Junyu to come closer to her ear.

Qin Junyu was half-believing and half-doubting, so he moved his face closer. After listening to her so-called method, his jade-like face was suddenly covered with a layer of gloom.

"No! It's too dangerous!" He refused without even thinking.

Nian Susu looked determined, "Your Highness, we can't delay any longer! He has been able to avoid being caught by the government for ten years, so you can imagine how treacherous he is. If we don't take action when he is weak, and if he escapes again, how many more decades will it take for us to wait for such an opportunity?"

It is undeniable that what she said makes sense, and Qin Junyu frowned.

"Your Highness, as long as you secretly send someone to follow me closely, nothing will happen." Seeing that he was wavering, Nian Susu took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Junyu finally nodded.

Without further ado, the two of them went their separate ways early the next morning.

Qin Junyu went to spread the news and lure the criminals out of the cave, while Nian Susu went to the west wing to find Qin Fengtian.

……

Qin Fengtian was in a bad mood after being criticized by the young Su. Nian Qiaoyue came to look for him several times but he was nowhere to be seen. He lay on the couch like a puddle of mud.

The Lu Ban lock that he had been thinking about for a month was unlocked by Zhou Fuhai with just three twists yesterday. Now lying on the couch and looking at the ceiling, he really felt like a useless person with nothing to do.

He failed to do any of the tasks assigned to him by his mother. He had his elder brother, the Crown Prince, who was highly regarded by his father, and his younger brother, the Emperor, who was sweet-mouthed and doted on by his father. He was stuck in the middle and was pushed around by his mother.

He just wants to be a salted fish, eating, drinking and having fun.

There was a knock on the door, but he didn't even look at it. He turned his back to the door, covered his face with a pillow, and shouted:

"Miss Nian Er, I am really not hungry, please go back!"

The knocking stopped.

Qin Fengtian changed into a comfortable position and prepared to sleep, but a female voice as warm as the wind came from outside the door, "Prince, I don't see the second Miss Nian, do you see Miss Nian?"

It could be heard that she spoke with a smile, which was like a spring breeze that melted away the depression in Qin Fengtian's heart.

He turned over and sat up, straightened his clothes and invited the person in.

Nian Susu walked in with a smile on her face, with the sunlight shining obliquely behind her, just behind her.

She was wearing a goose yellow embroidered chest-length skirt, a stunning bun on her head, a gilded hairpin with a phoenix butterfly as the main feature, and a silver hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern as the lining. She looked naughty and cute, which was very different from her usual simple and steady dress.

Qin Fengtian stared at her with his eyes wide open, swallowing hard, "Miss Nian...Miss Nian, why are you here?"

My mouth opened before my brain could react.

Nian Susu knew it was safe when he saw his reaction.

She pretended to be ignorant, walked to the round cushion in front of the couch, touched her skirt and sat down, her eyes moving, "My Lord, after you left yesterday, I reflected on it and felt that what I said was really too much. I lay on the couch at night, feeling so guilty that I couldn't sleep!"

She rubbed the area under her eyes and said aggrievedly, "It took me several layers of powder to cover up the dark circles under my eyes."

Qin Fengtian didn't see any bruises, but he smelled the faint scent of Yuelinxiang on her body.

Different from the mellow frankincense commonly used in the prime minister's mansion, the fragrance on her body makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Ah... that's my fault. I made Miss Nian unable to sleep well." Qin Fengtian smiled foolishly.

“No, no, no!” Nian Susu shook her head, and the hairpin on her head began to sway, shining brightly and dazzlingly. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said that about His Majesty. To make amends to His Majesty, I would like to invite His Majesty to go shopping at the night market with me tonight.”

She lowered her eyes in disappointment. "But from what I heard from the prince's tone outside the door just now, he seemed to be in a bad mood. It seems... my wish will not come true."
