Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

In the dimly lit room, only a single candle burned, its eerie flame flickering in the breeze and dancing on the smooth walls.

Feng Jinnian lay on the bed, slowly opening his eyes. His gaze fell on the flickering light, and the originally blurry scene gradually became clear, his numb nerves slowly giving him feedback.

His soul, which had been wandering for a long time, returned to his body, making him feel as if he had been reborn.

The memories of losing his mind did not completely disappear; on the contrary, they remained vivid in his mind. He recalled the last flash of blood he saw, and his mind became more and more clear.

The soft touch on his hand reminded him that he was not alone. He glanced to the side and saw Chu Yun lying face down by the bed.

He could only see half of the woman's face. Moonlight streamed in through a small window, illuminating her jade-like face. He could see the bluish-white veins beneath her skin and several red streaks of blood on her face.

The color of the blood reminded him of more scenes. He remembered how he went mad, holding Chu Yun's injured hand and refusing to let her go. The blood on her hand stained his hand, and he then smeared it on her face.

He still remembered how Chu Yun gently sang to him to calm him down when he was going berserk.

The off-key tune, seemingly just her casual humming, miraculously calmed his agitated emotions.

Perhaps what truly calmed him down wasn't her singing, but rather the kindness and care she conveyed through her voice.

Feng Jinnian looked at Chu Yun quietly, but it seemed as if he saw layers of mist around her; he couldn't quite see through her.

Why would someone who desperately wants to leave rush towards him despite the danger and stay to comfort him?

If, as he had previously thought, she was merely putting on an act, why go to such lengths?

An unreadable emotion swirled in Feng Jinnian's eyes. After a moment's pause, he pulled his hand away from Chu Yun's.

The friction on her palm woke Chu Yun up. She groaned softly, tilted her head back, and her sleepy appearance was fully revealed to Feng Jinnian.

Looking at Chu Yun, whose face still held a hint of confusion, Feng Jinnian's body stiffened for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

"Your Highness, you're awake." Feng Jinnian heard Chu Yun call him. Her voice was a little surprised, but her eyes quickly regained their clarity, and a clear look of surprise flashed across her bright eyes.

Feng Jinnian didn't speak, but exerted force, trying to sit up.

Seeing his actions, Chu Yun hurriedly went to help. After Feng Jinnian comfortably leaned against the headboard, she said, "I will go and call the imperial physician."

Feng Jinnian saw her stagger and almost fall, but she didn't stop at all and quickly ran out of the house, supporting her leg.

She had been kneeling by the bedside for a long time, and her legs must have gone numb, a strange thought flashed through Feng Jinnian's mind.

When Feng Jinnian realized that such a thought had actually crossed his mind, he fell into an unusually deep silence, his eyes filled with a daze.

When would he care about such trivial matters?

The imperial physicians and Feng Yi arrived quickly, leaving Feng Jinnian no time to ponder his strange behavior. He made a reassuring gesture to Feng Yi, indicating that he was alright.

The imperial physician stepped forward to take Feng Jinnian's pulse. Feng Jinnian leaned against the headboard, his gaze passing over the large crowd surrounding him and landing on Chu Yun, who was squeezed out of space by the group of imperial physicians and could only stand far away by the screen.

They were quite far apart, so he couldn't see Chu Yun's expression clearly. However, he could vaguely tell from her gripping the screen that she seemed very nervous about him.

One of the imperial physicians moved his feet, completely blocking the gap. Chu Yun disappeared from sight, replaced by the physician's long-bearded face. Feng Jinnian glanced at the physician coolly, then closed his eyes.

The imperial physicians who came to take Feng Jinnian's pulse were all people who had been dragged away by the Regent in the middle of the night, packed up and sent to the Prince's residence. They also knew that Feng Jinnian's identity was special and could not be mishandled. After taking his pulse in turn, they gathered together and discussed it in hushed tones.

"Your Highness, may I ask if you have eaten any suspicious food in the past few days?" Finally, after some discussion, Imperial Physician Zheng from the Imperial Hospital cautiously inquired.

Feng Jinnian opened his eyes and said impatiently, "No."

"Please think carefully, Your Highness, on the day you attended the banquet hosted by the Prince of Liang, did you eat any suspicious food? Specifically, did you experience abdominal bloating and irritability after eating such food?" Physician Zheng asked, forcing himself to be cautious.

Feng Jinnian said irritably, "On the day I went to the Prince of Liang's residence for the banquet, I only drank some wine. Before the banquet started, I had a conflict with the Prince of Zheng, and then I was sent back to the residence. I didn't eat anything all day."

"Did Your Highness feel unwell while drinking?" Physician Zheng asked again.

Feng Jinnian frowned and shook his head. "No." He was a little impatient. "After asking so many questions, do you even know what illness this young master has?"

Staring at him with annoyance, Physician Zheng's heart trembled slightly. "The young master is perfectly fine."

Feng Jinnian raised his voice: "I lost my mind for no reason, and you questioned me so much about my diet, and now you say I'm not sick? Do you not want your head, you quack doctor?"

Physician Zheng immediately knelt down, saying, "This humble official dares not deceive the Crown Prince."

The imperial physician behind him also knelt down.

Feng Jinnian stared coldly at them, "Is this young master truly unharmed?"

"The Crown Prince is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him," all the imperial physicians said in unison.

Feng Jinnian casually overturned the cup on the bedside table, causing it to shatter and shards to fly to Doctor Zheng's feet.

"Get out!" he roared.

The imperial physicians huddled together like quails and slunk away.

After they left, Feng Jinnian revealed an extremely cold smile, "These people really think I'm a fool."

Feng Yi frowned slightly, calling out "Young Master" while glancing towards where Chu Yun was.

Following Feng Yi's gaze, Feng Jinnian saw Chu Yun looking down at the ground, trying her best to hide herself.

"It's alright," Feng Jinnian said calmly.

After hearing Feng Jinnian's words, Feng Yi finally spoke up: "Your Highness, please do not worry. I have already spread the message as you instructed. Tomorrow morning, everyone in the capital will think that Prince Zheng frightened you, causing you to lose your mind and go crazy in the middle of the night."

Feng Jinnian nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at Chu Yun, who was shrinking back even more, and the lingering gloom in his heart suddenly dissipated a little.

"You can go down now," Feng Jinnian said to Feng Yidao.

Feng Yi bowed and took his leave. Once he was gone, only Chu Yun and Feng Jinnian remained in the room.

Feng Jinnian rubbed his aching head. "Come here."

There was no one else in the room. Chu Yun knew that Feng Jinnian was calling her. Without much hesitation, she slowly walked up to Feng Jinnian.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
