Jing Yu finished his porridge and placed the bowl on the table. Seeing that Princess Jing'an was still standing there, not moving, he wanted to ask her to leave, but felt it was not appropriate, so he changed the subject and said, "Princess Consort, please sit down first."

Princess Jing'an took two steps and sat down on a nearby chair. After a moment's thought, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness, I wonder if my father's health has improved in the past few days?"

"There's been no improvement." Jing Yu shook his head and said, "Although the imperial physician has always said that Father only has a cold, but for some reason, Father hasn't gotten any better after taking the medicine, and it seems to be getting worse."

Princess Jing'an, "Your Highness," decided to tell Jing Yu her suspicions: "I observed Father's complexion a few days ago and felt that his illness was most likely not a cold, but rather something that had taken his soul."

"Captured the soul?" Jing Yu was shocked. What...what does this mean?

"Your Highness," Princess Jing'an said, noticing Jing Yu's puzzled expression, "When I was in Daqing, Jindou taught me some physiognomy and how to identify illnesses. My father's complexion doesn't look like a cold, nor does it look like he's been poisoned. It seems more like something has taken over his soul, causing his body to weaken and remain incurable."

When Jing Yu heard Princess Jing'an mention the word "golden beans", his expression changed slightly, but then he adjusted his mood and asked anxiously, "Then... is there any way to save them?"

Princess Jing'an shook her head. "This may require the use of magic. I am really powerless."

Seeing Jing Yu's anxious expression, Princess Jing'an hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have only learned a few superficial things from Jindou, and I cannot conclude whether Father's illness is really caused by the soul being captured. However, if that is the case, Father's condition will only get worse."

Looking at Jing Yu, Princess Jing'an said seriously, "So I think we should find a way to get Jindou to come to Yue State. I'm afraid that only Jindou can help my father with his current condition."

Let Jindou come to Yue Kingdom? Jing Yu sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time. Although he missed Jindou every moment in his heart, if he were to face Jindou now, he really didn't know what to say to Jindou.

But my father’s illness cannot be delayed any longer. I must invite Jindou to come and treat my father as soon as possible.

Come to think of it, this is a good thing. I can see Jindou sooner and get rid of my homesick sooner.

But now, he had to stay in Yue State to preside over the government affairs, so who to send to ask for Jindou was a problem. Jing Yu's brows slowly frowned again.

"Your Highness," Princess Jing'an said, "I can write a letter and have Yingxiang deliver it to Jindou. Your Highness only needs to send a few experts to protect you along the way."

At this point, Princess Jing'an saw Crown Prince Jingyu looking up at her, so she continued, "Yingxiang and Jindou are very familiar with each other, and she also knows Lord Wei. If I bring my letter to you, Lord Wei should agree to let Jindou come."

"Master Wei?" Jing Yu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Master Wei, do you know that Jindou is a girl?"

"This..." Princess Jing'an didn't expect Jing Yu to suddenly ask this question. She was stunned for a moment and then replied, "I probably only found out about it recently."

Only recently found out? Jing Yu frowned and thought: That means, when he broke up with Jindou at the inn last time, Lord Wei probably didn't know that Jindou was a girl. However, judging from the look in Lord Wei's eyes at that time, he had a very special feeling towards Jindou.

Moreover, judging from Jindou's expression when he saw Lord Wei, he must be very happy, right?

Thinking of this, Jing Yu became a little impatient and said to Princess Jing'an: "Okay, write a letter as soon as possible, and I will immediately send someone to escort your maid back to Daqing."

******

Daqing, Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

When Wei Qing entered the study, he saw Jindou with his chin supported by one hand, his eyes closed, and he was already fast asleep, with the other hand still tightly holding a brush.

This guy would slack off as long as Wei Qing was not watching over him. Wei Qing's anger was aroused again. He strode over and was ready to wake Jindou up and scold him.

But when he walked up to Jindou and saw Jindou's sleeping face, Wei Qing's anger immediately subsided, and was replaced by a soft feeling in his heart.

Looking at Jindou's long eyelashes covering her eyes and her rosy, shiny lips, Wei Qing felt his whole body getting hot. He tried hard to calm himself down and forced himself to move his eyes from Jindou's face to the table.

After seeing the words written by Jindou on the table, Wei Qing's anger, which had just subsided, immediately rose again. This guy has been practicing for so many days, why hasn't his handwriting improved at all!

Sometimes, Wei Qing was really puzzled. Why was Jindou so resistant to learning something, but her medical skills and abilities in exorcising demons and catching monsters were so superb? Could it be that she was born with these abilities?

Jindou finally woke up from his sweet dream and was about to stretch when he vaguely saw a figure beside him. When he took a closer look, he was startled and immediately stood up, stammering: "Second... Second brother."

Seeing Jindou awake, Wei Qing pointed at the words Jindou had just written on the table and said angrily, "This, this is what you wrote. You said you practiced for so many days, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

"Who said I haven't made any progress? There are two words in my vocabulary that I've practiced very well," Jindou said with a blink of his eyes.

"Oh, which two words? Can you show them to me?" Wei Qing asked with some disbelief.

Jindou pulled out the last piece of paper from the pile on the table, pointed at the words on it and said, "These are the two."

Wei Qing picked up the paper and looked at it, his face turned red. He saw that the whole piece of paper was filled with the words "Second Brother".

Looking at the two neatly written words on the paper, Wei Qing's intention to scold Jindou immediately disappeared.

However, he blushed and asked in confusion, "Why did you think of practicing these two words?"

"Because I always write notes to my second brother, I need to practice these two words first," Jindou said with a smile on his face.

Well, Jindou's two sentences successfully turned Wei Qing's face from gloomy to bright.

Seeing the anger on Wei Qing's face gradually disappear, Jindou finally felt relieved and thought to himself: Fortunately, I was well prepared and asked a maid in my grandmother's courtyard who could write to help me write a piece of paper in advance, in case I was caught being lazy by my second brother. Now, this piece of paper came in handy today.
