In the quick transmigration story, the most popular female supporting character is both delicate and

"I'll go and plead with him; maybe he'll agree?"

"Miss," Mu Mu felt a little uncomfortable hearing her young mistress's humble tone.

"It's just asking him for help, it won't hurt me. Besides, he might not want me to be a freeloader at his house and might even be hoping I'll stay home for a few more days."

Yun Yao smiled, trying her best to appear relaxed, but unfortunately, the smile didn't look like a smile at all; it looked more like a cry.

Mu Mu was so sad she wanted to cry, "Miss..."

Yun Yao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Why are you making such a fuss? Your young lady is perfectly fine, don't cry yourself to death."

Upon hearing this, Mu Mu became extremely anxious. "Miss, quickly say 'Pah, pah, pah' and spit out these bad words. You can't say such unlucky things."

Yun Yao smiled and said, "Pah, pah, pah, alright?"

Mu Mu wiped away her tears and nodded, "Mm."

The next day, Yun Yao went to find Xiao Yan, but she didn't see him in the main hall or the study.

And... it seems like an unfortunate coincidence.

She hadn't been able to see him for several days.

In the end, I deliberately timed it according to his morning court session and waited at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence early in order to see him.

Compared to the days before, seeing him again today was different.

His overall demeanor became even colder.

He wore a magnificent black robe with gold trim, covered with golden feather patterns, and his handsome appearance exuded an innate nobility.

When he saw Yun Yao, his lips were slightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hidden darkness.

In Yun Yao's eyes, Xiao Yan clearly didn't want to see her, and he made no attempt to hide it...

but.

Yun Yao lowered her eyelashes, obscuring her watery eyes, her voice carrying a hint of suppressed grievance, "I want to go home and stay for a few days, is that alright... I'm begging you."

Her once pretty face now looks like a pearl covered in dust.

She looked so pitiful, and it broke my heart.

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, his veins bulging.

After a long while, he forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

“Okay,” Xiao Yan said, his thin lips slightly pursed, his jaw clenched, trying his best to control his emotions. “But you can only stay for one day. Go in the morning and come back before evening.”

Without waiting for Yun Yao's reply, he left directly, saying, "I have to go to court. You should go back early."

On the day Yunyao returned home, for some reason, she felt that her parents had more gray hair and looked much more haggard.

Her mother said, "It's been too long since we last met, so I'm mistaken. I've always had this much gray hair. As for looking haggard, it's probably just because it's winter and my skin has become wrinkled."

Yun Yao didn't think much of it and just said, "I want to eat the sweet soup with white fungus and eggs that you cooked."

Mu Mu also said, "Mu Mu wants to drink the red bean soup with fermented rice wine that Madam makes."

"Okay, I'll make them all, I'll have them all!"

I sat by the fireplace, warming myself and drinking the sweet soup I wanted.

Just like before, we chatted about the red plum blossoms in the backyard that were about to bloom.

When the first snow of the year falls, the red plum blossoms should be in bloom, and it will be a beautiful sight.

Before leaving the residence that evening.

Unlike before, Yunyao's mother no longer talked about when she would come back next time and what delicious food she could make for Yunyao and Mumu.

Today, she simply stood at the door watching them and telling them to take good care of themselves.

Yun Yao's father, who rarely came to see them off, stood at the door with his hands behind his back, not saying a word, just silently watching them leave.

Mu Mu said from the side that the madam had given them a lot of charcoal and food, enough for them to live on for a while, and they didn't pester the steward for any more.

"Miss, there are so many rules in the Crown Prince's residence. Even if we have money, we can't just go out and buy things. If we buy from the steward, he'll complain that we're not well-behaved. It's really infuriating!"

Yun Yao nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, as if to force herself to stop thinking about the thoughts in her mind. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling market outside.

"Miss, it's snowing!" Mu Mu exclaimed happily, then reached out to catch the snowflakes drifting in from outside. "This afternoon they said it would be a while before it snowed, but I didn't expect it to be here so soon."

A snowflake drifted in and landed under Yunyao's eyes. After melting, it looked like a tear.

But before the melting snow water fell, a hot tear rolled down from the corner of her eye and soaked into her soft woolen brocade cloak.

Mu Mu was still saying that she hoped the red plum blossoms in the backyard wouldn't have faded by the time she came back next time, so that she could pick some red plum blossoms to put in the house.

"Enjoying plum blossoms, drinking sweet soup, warming ourselves by the fire, and cutting paper snowflakes. It's just a pity that we can't spend New Year's Eve with our husbands and wives this year."

Back to the Daydream Pavilion.

Mu Mu took out the charcoal and lit it.

She sat by the embers, mending clothes as she heated them.

"Our own things are always the best; Madam always picks out the best for us."

Yun Yao lay on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and tried her best not to cry, "Mu Mu, I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Okay, miss."

The next day, Yun Yao suddenly overheard people in the mansion whispering among themselves.

“I heard from my distant cousin, who is a physician in the palace, that His Majesty probably doesn’t have much time left.”

"I've heard that he fell ill after returning to the palace from the Mid-Autumn Festival hunt and has been getting thinner and thinner. But this news has been kept secret and has only recently come out."

"No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't been seen for several days. Things are really about to change."

At noon, Mu Mu prepared lunch and called her young lady to get up and eat.

"Miss, did you not sleep well again last night?"

"Well, sort of."

Yun Yao threw off the covers, got out of bed, and put on her shoes, but as soon as she took a step, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

Mu Mu quickly ran over, helped her young lady up, and touched her forehead.

"Why is it so hot!"

Yun Yao frowned and raised her hand to touch her forehead. "It's not hot?"

“Miss, you are burning up all over, of course you can tell by touching yourself that you are not burning up! Luckily, I brought some Chinese medicine to reduce fever from home yesterday. I will go and brew it for you to drink right away.”

Mu Mu moved the small stove into the room, watching the fire as she wiped her young mistress's body to cool her down.

Even though I've been wiping him with cold water and he's drunk the medicine I've prepared, his body temperature just won't go down.

In the end, Mu Mu touched her young lady's still burning forehead and cried in distress.

"It's alright, there's still His Highness the Crown Prince. I'll go find him. No matter how heartless he is, he'll still call a doctor for Master's sake."

Mu Mu rushed straight to Xiao Yan's study without even having time to put on her coat.

The guards at the door stopped her, saying, "His Highness the Crown Prince is resting now."

"Brother guard, my young lady... no, the Crown Princess, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please, let me see His Highness the Crown Prince."

The guard was initially inclined to listen to her explain the situation, but upon hearing that it concerned the Crown Princess, he immediately tried to expel her.

Within the mansion, everyone knew that the Crown Princess was not favored by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Not to mention that the current emperor doesn't have much time left. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, the first thing he'll probably do is depose the crown princess.

Now, anyone who dares to bother His Highness the Crown Prince with matters concerning the Crown Princess is truly worried about being demoted in the future.
