A red apricot is about to cheat on you

The attendants, guards, and maids beside them all looked at each other in bewilderment at Yi Duo'er's words, fearing they would face Wang Ye's wrath in the next second. No one dared to speak, and they quietly retreated to the side to avoid getting hurt.

Chu Junye saw that she was not as cheerful as usual today. She was heartless and seemed to have been stimulated by something. He secretly wondered, could it be because of Chu Jingchen? When he thought of this, his eyes began to look at Yi Duoer with deep and cold eyes. So he deliberately mentioned:

"You don't know yet, right? Today in the court, Princess Yingjue is going to marry the Regent. You have such a good relationship with Chu Jingchen. When they get married, you should at least give them a generous gift. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. After all, I am your husband too. I will give it to you!"

At this moment, the sky was very suitable with snowflakes flying all over the sky, fluttering down. The two people stood quietly in the snowflakes, as if they had merged into the world around them.

Chu Junye's words were like ice, chilling her to the bone even more than the cold snow. Only then did she realize that she had different feelings for Chu Jingchen. But what could she do?

Like Chu Junye, he had a woman in his heart that he wanted to protect. It was just that she wasn't him. After all, they were not on the same path, and he had to end his relationship with her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be left with a broken heart.

Yi Duoer stared at him for a few seconds, her dry lips curled up in a cold smile. A cold expression appeared on her pale face. She said sarcastically:

"Who acknowledges you as my husband? Your Highness, have you forgotten? We are just a fake couple. Besides, what does your uncle's wedding have to do with me? He and I are not even friends. I can't give him a big gift, but you, as a nephew, are supposed to give a gift. You drag me into this, Your Highness, don't you think you are ridiculous?"

Chu Junye noticed that her words implied that she had nothing to do with Chu Jingchen. Was he overthinking it? He noticed her frail figure and reached out to warm her, but she coldly rejected him.

This made him very angry. She kept talking about the divorce letter all day long. How much did he hate her? Did she really want to leave here? His thick eyebrows furrowed, and his dark eyes looked at Yi Duoer:

"Yi Duo'er, whether to give you a divorce letter is up to me! Now I've changed my mind, so don't mention this matter again. You don't have to learn the rules or be well-educated. As long as you are obedient, I can make you a concubine. I will protect you for the rest of your life and give you the wealth and glory you desire."

"you……"

Yi Duoer didn't expect that he would go back on his word. She was immediately furious and speechless. She wanted to argue with him, but suddenly her vision went dark and her body went limp and she fell down.

Chu Junye quickly caught her with a helpless expression. Isn’t this woman usually very powerful?

"Duo'er, Duo'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so hot? Lou Feng, go find a doctor! ... And get the imperial physician here, too."

After Lou Feng agreed, he left quickly. Chu Junye anxiously picked up Yi Duoer. Back at the cold courtyard, the whole cold courtyard became boiling in an instant.

Chu Junye gently placed Yi Duo'er on the bed and looked at her pale face with worry. He felt annoyed by his previous behavior. Didn't this woman know how to tell others when she felt uncomfortable?

Then he turned around and roared at the servants, "When the master leaves the house, don't you know to follow? If anything happens to the princess, you will die!"

Several maids were frightened and knelt on the ground, "I am guilty."

Chu Junye's face was dark at the moment. He suppressed his anger and continued, "The princess's clothes are all wet. Why don't you go and prepare some hot water?"

"Yes, slave, I obey!"

The maids immediately stood up and got busy. His order was like a death warrant. They were afraid that if they were a moment late, their lives would come to an abrupt end.

Soon, the maids cleaned Yi Duoer and changed her into a clean brocade pajamas, but she was still unconscious and allowed others to touch her.

As the imperial physician felt Yi Duo'er's pulse, he kept stroking his beard with a serious expression on his face. Chu Junye watched the imperial physician from the side, feeling extremely anxious. He couldn't help but ask:

"Doctor, how is she?"

Doctor Li didn't answer. Instead, he lifted Yi Duo'er's eyelids and looked at her again. Then he stood up and reported, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The princess's symptoms seem to be caused by excessive sweating after exercise and contact with cold water, which is what caused the cold. I'll prescribe some medicine. She should rest well for a while. She should be fine!"

The imperial physician's words put Chu Junye at ease, and he continued to ask, "Then why hasn't she woken up yet?"

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, squinting his eyes. He raised his hand and rubbed his beard again, explaining, "This isn't just a common cold. She has a high fever. Furthermore, I added a herb called Aconitum. It has anesthetic properties, so she won't wake up for a while. That's normal!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess is fine."

Doctor Li left after explaining. Chu Junye slowly walked to the bedside and looked at Yi Duoer's beautiful face, which looked even more pitiful and moving due to her pale and haggard appearance. Ripples of emotion arose in his heart.

Yu Shu, who was standing by, saw all this and had a meaningful expression on his face.

At this time, Qiu Chan came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are tired too. Why don't you go back and rest first. I will take care of the princess!"

Chu Junye finally withdrew his gaze from Yi Duoer and instructed the servants, "Take good care of the princess!"

"Yes!"

The maids said in unison, and Chu Junye finally left the cold courtyard with peace of mind. Qiu Chan knew how much her master cared about Yi Duoer, so she deliberately asked Chu Junye to leave. She wanted to secretly report Yi Duoer's current situation to her master!

After Yu Shu sent everyone away, he secretly sent a message to Prince Chen's Mansion using a carrier pigeon!

After Qiu Chan finished all this, she returned to Yi Duo'er's bedside and quietly looked at her reddened cheeks. She wondered why her master valued her so much. She felt that she was wasting her talent by coming here to protect her.

Yongshou Palace,

The emperor was dining with Concubine Ye when a eunuch suddenly arrived with a report, "Your Majesty, Prince Huai has been assassinated. Emergency treatment is underway!"

When the emperor heard this, he stood up angrily and shouted, "Find out who did it? Set up a fight in Prince Huai's mansion!"

After the emperor hurriedly left, Concubine Ye anxiously called the head maid and said, "Why is Ye'er so impatient? Tell him that the emperor is furious when he hears about this and tells him to be careful!"
