Xu Junjun came out of the room. Wei Dong and his bodyguards were standing in the dark, and they could clearly see the tears on her face.

Wei Dong became anxious when he saw this and wanted to jump out to ask what happened. Then he heard Xu Junjun holding the door and calling the maid in her yard.

The maid who had been standing at the door heard Xu Junjun's voice, ran into the yard quickly, reached out and carefully helped her down the steps, and walked towards the next yard.

Along the way, seeing Xu Junjun's extremely pale face, the two maids looked at each other and did not dare to ask.

Xu Junjun's figure disappeared from his sight. Wei Dong looked back with regret and found that his master was standing at the door at some point.

He had a tall and slender figure, and his eyes were calm. It seemed that he was also watching Miss Xu leave.

His hopes dashed, Wei Dong sighed and waved behind him, signaling his guards to retreat into the darkness, and then he walked out.

"master."

Approaching Jun Xiaochen, Wei Dong stood at the bottom of the stairs and bowed to report:

"Your instructions have been fulfilled and will take effect tomorrow."

Jun Xiaochen stood in front of the door, having put on his inner shirt but not fastened his belt. The muscles on his bare chest and abdomen were strong and well-defined, and they were very eye-catching. The low pressure that filled his body was as terrifying as a mountain.

When Wei Dong got closer, he realized that his master was also very unhappy and angry.

Wei Dong didn't dare to look any longer and lowered his head waiting for Jun Xiaochen's next instruction.

But it was obvious that Jun Xiaochen had no intention of speaking at the moment. He stared at the courtyard entrance which was already empty, his amber eyes filled with coldness.

Thinking about what Xu Junjun had just said, Jun Xiaochen's brows darkened. He ignored Wei Dong and turned back to his room.

The cool night breeze blew through his chest. Wei Dong stood there, listening to the sound of the treetops shaking above his head, and felt a little cold for some reason.

After waiting for a long time without hearing his master's voice, just as Wei Dong was about to leave, Jun Xiaochen's voice came through the door coldly:

"Find a doctor for this king."

Wei Dong was stunned and was about to say that Miss Xu was next door, but suddenly he remembered the tears on Miss Xu's face just now, so he quickly shut up and nodded.

Back in the courtyard, Xu Junjun asked the maid to bring hot water.

Enduring the strange sensations surging in his body, Xu Junjun took a detoxification pill to suppress them, and the burning desire in his body gradually subsided.

After taking off her inner clothes and stepping into the bathtub, Xu Junjun was surrounded by hot water. She closed her eyes, loosened her painfully clenched fingertips, and leaned her head on the edge of the bathtub.

What happened tonight made her realize firsthand how huge the gap between her and Jun Xiaochen was.

Unless she risked her life, she had no way to deal with him.

In the future, she will definitely stay away from him.

With many complicated and messy thoughts surging in his mind, Xu Junjun, who was extremely exhausted, gradually fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.

It was not until the maid came in and woke her up after hearing no sound for a long time that she got up from the cold water, wiped herself roughly and went to bed.

When sleeping, his body still felt uncomfortable, but from his reaction, Xu Junjun knew that Jun Xiaochen must have taken the antidote.

The moment the quilt covered her face, Xu Junjun felt sleepy and tired. She just wanted to have a good sleep to repair the physical reactions caused by her excited mood.

Xu Junjun originally thought that she could get some sleep and be fully recovered tomorrow, but she underestimated the effectiveness of the Zi Mu Dan and her own body's difficulty in supporting herself under the ups and downs of her emotions.

It was still dark and Jun Xiaochen had just slept for more than an hour when he got up, put on his official uniform and prepared to go to court.

But before he could step out of the door, Wei Dong walked in quickly with an anxious look on his face and reported quickly:

"Master, Miss Xu has a high fever.

When the maid in the courtyard saw that Miss Xu had a high fever and was talking nonsense, she found her subordinates and asked them to call a doctor.

Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Wei Dong knew that his master always put business first. Seeing that the time was almost up, if he didn't set off now, he might be delayed in attending court.

But he had just gone to see Miss Xu in person, and she was indeed running a high fever, so a doctor had to be called immediately.

Jun Xiaochen's face turned cold when he heard this. He took a few steps out of the room and ordered in a deep voice:

"Send someone to invite the doctor into the house first."

"I will arrange it right away."

Since it was about Xu Junjun, Wei Dong did not dare to delay. As soon as he left the yard, he asked his subordinates to find a doctor in person and accompanied Jun Xiaochen to the next door.

Tonight, the candle in Xu Junjun's room was only lit for an hour.

An hour later, the maid came into the room to tuck in the quilt for her. She accidentally touched her exposed arm and was startled by the scorching temperature of her skin.

When they lit the candle, they found that Xu Junjun's lips were cracked and bleeding from the burn. The maid then realized that she had a fever and hurriedly asked her companions to get hot water. The two of them wiped Xu Junjun's lips to cool her down.

Ever since Xu Junjun came to the Regent's Palace, no doctor has been hired.

Now, as soon as she fell down, the maids were so anxious that they fainted.

After struggling for a while, seeing that Xu Junjun's condition had not improved at all, the maids were worried that something bad would happen if they delayed any longer, so they hurriedly found Wei Dong and asked him to go out and call a doctor.

As he stepped into Xu Junjun's room, the familiar smell of medicine that came towards him made Jun Xiaochen's eyes dim.

Walking forward and pulling aside the bed curtains, Jun Xiaochen glanced at Xu Junjun, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He then glanced at the two maids and asked in a cold voice:

"How long has she been burning?"

The two maids were frightened by the coldness emanating from Jun Xiaochen, and quickly knelt down to report:

"Your Majesty, Miss Xu has been running a fever for an hour and a half.

We servants have tried various methods, but Miss Xu's temperature has not been able to be lowered, so we have finally dared to ask Master Wei to pass on a message."

Jun Xiaochen's expression grew even darker, and the murderous intent emanating from his amber eyes frightened the two maids so much that they trembled like sieves.

Before Xu Junjun came to the palace, they had never spoken to the prince. Now they were being stared at by the prince with anger, and they were so scared that they thought they would not survive the day.

Fortunately, Jun Xiaochen was in no mood to punish them. He just said coldly that if Xu Junjun showed any abnormality in the future, he should report to him immediately, and then he raised his hand to wave the two away.

Wei Dong was about to leave the room with the maid, but just as he moved his feet, he heard his master's voice with a hint of impatience:

"Go and see where the doctor is."

"Yes, master."

Weidong immediately responded, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room. Jun Xiaochen stood beside the bed, looking at the person who was full of energy in the evening, now lying on the bed dying with a pale and painful face. His heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, and was filled with a strange feeling of depression and regret.
