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

Feng Jinnian looked at his hands and fell silent.

Chu Yun then asked, "Your Highness, is there something you wish to instruct me on?"

"Where are you going?" After a few breaths, Feng Jinnian asked in a hoarse voice.

"I will go to see Mr. Chu for a medical consultation," Chu Yun replied.

Feng Jinnian was slightly taken aback, and slowly loosened his grip on Chu Yun's clothes.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?" Chu Yun asked again. She didn't think Feng Jinnian had stopped her just to say such a useless thing. After all, how could a prince care about the whereabouts of a pawn?

Feng Jinnian was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "Go and call Feng Yi here."

"Yes, I'll take my leave now." Chu Yun put down the towel in her hand, bowed, and took her leave.

Feng Jinnian watched Chu Yun leave before closing his eyes.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but for a moment, he felt reluctant to part with Chu Yun.

Perhaps it was because she helped him escape the illusion, Feng Jinnian told himself, silently suppressing the faint flutter in his heart.

After a while, Feng Yi's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Highness."

"Come in." Feng Jinnian opened his eyes again, his usual indifference returning, but he still frowned for a moment when he saw that only Feng Yi and Doctor Chu had entered.

Chu Yun probably thought he was looking for Feng Yi to discuss important matters, so she deliberately avoided suspicion. Feng Jinnian knew all too well what she was thinking. That's right, who would believe that he had just made up an excuse to fob her off? Even he himself found it absurd.

"Your Highness, you have suffered." Chu Wushuang knelt on the ground. He always presented himself as a traveling doctor in the Prince's mansion. Because he had served Feng Jinnian many years ago, he lived in the Prince's mansion for many years, rarely going out. His daily work was mostly preparing medicinal baths for Chu Yun and others. Few people knew that he was a famous divine doctor, and few people had ever seen him.

Now that the Crown Prince's residence is surrounded by enemies, it is even more important not to let anyone know his identity. In addition, since he needs to show his face in front of everyone, Chu Yun changed his address to Mr. Chu.

"I have prepared the medicine for you. Please take the antidote as soon as possible." Chu Wushuang looked anxious.

The antidote he mentioned was the method to detoxify the poison, Raoguzui. It was only because of Chu Wushuang's superb medical skills that Feng Jinnian dared to take Raoguzui.

After years of research, Chu Wushuang had already mastered the true antidote to the poison that was considered extremely vicious by outsiders, and it would not leave any aftereffects.

"No, the time isn't right yet." Feng Jinnian refused outright. If he was going to put on an act, he had to make it real. If he took the antidote now and it was discovered, his entire plan would be ruined.

“But your body probably can’t take it. You were unconscious for a whole day and night this time. Next time it will only be more serious. If this continues, it will affect your lifespan.” Chu Wushuang frowned.

Even if there were an antidote that could cure the aftereffects, the poison that Feng Jinnian had taken was not fake. This attack had dealt a heavy blow to his mental and physical health, and if it continued to drag on, it would probably damage his very foundation.

"Alright, I understand. You don't need to say anything more," Feng Jinnian said decisively.

Chu Wushuang knew Feng Jinnian's temperament well and knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only keep quiet.

"What's the situation outside?" Feng Jinnian ignored Chu Wushuang and turned to look at Feng Yi.

Now that Feng Yiren is here, we should get down to business.

"After receiving news that no one had survived in the palace, the Prince of Zhennan was devastated and reportedly vomited blood. He had already left Lu and headed straight for Chu. The Prince of Chen also returned to his fiefdom of Qin overnight with his son's body. The general guarding Chu, seeking to atone for his crimes, has begun harassing the people of Qin." Feng Yi answered, picking out the most important information.

"What about the Regent?" Feng Jinnian asked.

"There's no movement for now," Feng Yidao said.

"He's quite composed," Feng Jinnian said coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"The Prince of Zhennan's mansion has suffered such a calamity, and I, the young master, am heartbroken. From this day forward, white silk will be hung in the mansion, and singing, dancing, and meat will be strictly forbidden." Feng Jinnian spoke sincerely, but his eyes were icy cold.

"Yes, I will take care of it right away," Feng Yi replied.

"No need. Leave this to Qin Chuyun. She's more familiar with household affairs. Have her come see me immediately," Feng Jinnian said calmly.

Without hesitation, Feng Yi replied, "Yes."

After he stepped back, Feng Jinnian looked at Chu Wushuang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Throw away the medicine you prepared. If you dare to act on your own again, I will not forgive you."

Chu Wushuang said in a trembling voice, "This subordinate will never dare to do it again."

"Go down." Feng Jinnian's voice was cold.

Feng Jinnian leaned against the headboard and didn't change his position until Chu Yun entered the room again.

"Your Highness, you wanted to see me."

Upon hearing Chu Yun's voice, Feng Jinnian snapped out of his reverie, his eyes falling on Chu Yun as he scrutinized her closely.

"Were you taking care of me the whole time?" Feng Jinnian asked.

"Yes," Chu Yun replied.

"Why are you calling me by my name?" Feng Jinnian asked, puzzled.

Chu Yun froze, then immediately knelt on the ground, "I know my crime."

"I didn't tell you to kneel. Get up." Feng Jinnian was stunned at first, but after realizing what he meant, his face turned cold and angry, and his voice was full of icy intent.

In this situation, Chu Yun dared not get up and remained kneeling on the ground. "I dare not. It was Mr. Chu who said that your nerves were damaged by the poison and that you were likely in a hallucination, which is why you have been unconscious for so long. So I dared to obey Mr. Chu's orders and try to wake you up. I have overstepped my bounds. Please punish me."

Seeing Chu Yun so frightened, Feng Jinnian couldn't help but clench his fist. He took a deep breath and tried to soften his voice, "You did very well. I don't blame you. Get up."

Chu Yun lowered her head and slowly stood up. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Jinnian hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He had a bit of a headache, and it seemed that after that illusion, he didn't know how to face Chu Yun.

He then coughed heavily and said, "Feng Yi should have told you that the Prince's residence should not be too high-profile during this period. Since you are in charge of the residence's affairs, you should pay close attention."

"I understand," Chu Yun replied.

There was silence in the room for a moment. After a brief silence, Feng Jinnian said, "I'm all done here. You can go now."

"This concubine takes her leave." Chu Yun bowed and left.

After she left, Feng Jinnian reached out and rubbed his aching head vigorously, while his other hand rested on his chest. He felt that this place was a bit strange today, especially after seeing Chu Yun. It felt even stranger, with not only a tingling fullness but also an indescribable stuffiness.

Feng Jinnian couldn't quite understand these feelings. He closed his eyes, but he seemed to hear "Jinnian" again and again in his ears.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the doorway, where there was only an exquisite screen, not the person he had expected.

The only thing associated with her was the faint fragrance of peonies floating in the air.
