Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Although it was said that heating was no longer needed, the water temperature was still quite high. Working continuously at such a temperature for a long time had left Mu Xue completely exhausted.

Fortunately, she has been working out to regain her strength, but unfortunately, she has just recovered from a serious illness and this is already her limit.

After administering the last injection, she staggered back two steps.

Ren Yuan quickly positioned Mu Feng and then reached out to support Mu Xue's waist so she wouldn't bump into the chair behind her.

"Thank you, Brother Ren." Mu Xue awkwardly stepped out of Ren Yuan's embrace.

She forced herself to calm down and focused solely on Mu Feng's condition.

Ren Yuan felt the warmth leave his hand, and a sense of inexplicable loss welled up inside him.

He glanced at Mu Xue's pink cheeks, flushed from the steam, and quickly walked to the table, poured a glass of iced tea, and brought it over.

He said, "Sir, please have a cup of cool tea to cool off in the heat."

Just as Mu Xue had calmed herself down, Ren Yuan handed her another cup of cold tea. Her cheeks, which had just cooled down, felt slightly hot again. She said softly, "Thank you, Brother Ren. You should rest for a while too."

She cursed herself inwardly for being so spineless. What handsome men hadn't she seen in her past life? If Ren Yuan were in modern times, he would at most be a good-looking young man.

Besides, with Regent Ye Shangyuan in front and the sickly handsome Mu Feng behind him, Ren Yuan's looks can only be considered above average!

"Okay, good." This was the first time Ren Yuan had seen Mu Xue like this. With her pink cheeks, she looked like a shy girl, which made him suddenly want to see what she would look like in women's clothing.

He thought, Mu Xue must be very beautiful in women's clothing!

In fact, Ren Yuan's appearance is only pleasing to the eye. He has typical sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with a high and straight nose and lips that are neither too thick nor too thin. His lips are a healthy red, unlike Ye Shangyuan's pale pinkish-white lips, or Mu Feng's red lips with a hint of blue.

Ren Yuan was unaware that Mu Xue was wearing a human skin mask, and what he saw was not Mu Xue's true appearance.

The masks that Cang Lin makes are so realistic that they can be mistaken for real ones.

Given his personality, how could he possibly allow Mu Xue's other face to become ugly? So, although the human skin mask Mu Xue is currently wearing has no resemblance to her real appearance, it is still a pretty face that is difficult to distinguish as male or female.

While Ren Yuan was still lost in thought, Mu Xue had already begun the next stage of treatment.

Changsheng looked at the two grown men acting awkwardly and was somewhat puzzled. When he turned to look at Mu Feng, he suddenly shouted, "Young Master!"

This sound not only attracted the attention of Mu Xue and Ren Yuan, but also drew the gazes of Mu Qinghe and Mu An.

Mu Qinghe called out loudly from outside, "What's wrong with Changsheng Feng'er?" Her voice was clearly anxious.

Changsheng's face flushed red. "Young Master, Young Master is awake!" He was so excited that it took him a long time to utter a complete sentence.

Mu Qinghe excitedly stood up and was about to rush into the room.

Mu An immediately blocked his way and advised, "Master, please calm down. The ancient physician has not finished his treatment yet. If you rush in like this, it may delay the young master's treatment."

"Ah. Right, right. Look at me, I was just too hasty," Mu Qinghe said, slapping his forehead.

Mu An smiled and said, "It's good that the young master is awake. Doctor Gu's medical skills are truly amazing!"

“That’s right. Back when ancient medicine was at its peak, countless difficult and complicated diseases could be cured,” Mu Qinghe said with emotion.

The two chatted in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Mu Xue's attention was drawn by Chang Sheng's shout. She saw Mu Feng leaning against the wooden tub with his head tilted, his eyes still somewhat confused.

Ren Yuan looked at Mu Feng in surprise. He had learned in the past few days that Mu Feng was on the verge of death.

He never expected that he would regain consciousness in just half a day.

Mu Xue stepped forward, grabbed Mu Feng's wrist, and took his pulse for a moment before saying, "Chang Sheng, you can put out the fire and let the water temperature slowly drop until it's completely cool before letting Young Master Mu out."

When Changsheng heard that he finally didn't need to add fuel, he breathed a sigh of relief. In just those two short hours, he felt like he was being roasted dry.

“Yes, Master Gu Yi,” Chang Sheng said in a relaxed tone.

Mu Xue turned to Ren Yuan and said, "Brother Ren, why don't you stay here and help Chang Sheng? I'm going to find General Mu."

Ren Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "How about I go with you?"

"No need, I'm just going to talk to General Mu for a day about the young master's follow-up treatment. Brother Ren, you can rest assured," Mu Xue said.

Ren Yuan thought about it and was still a little worried, but he couldn't resist Mu Xue's insistence, so he could only compromise and say, "Then don't leave this courtyard. Just find a room in the courtyard to talk. If anything happens, just call out and I will come over as soon as possible."

After saying that, he asked Changsheng, "I wonder if there is a study in this courtyard?"

Changsheng also heard Muxue's words, and he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the eldest young master's study has always been in the east. My lord, shall I take you there?"

Mu Xue nodded and said to Chang Sheng, "No need, I'll go find General Mu myself. You all stay here and keep an eye on Young Master Mu. Remember to call me if anything happens."

Mu Xue observed Mu Feng's condition again, and after thinking for a while, she reluctantly took out a pill from her bosom.

She handed the pill to Changsheng and said, "Young Master Mu has just woken up and his mind is not fully clear yet. Wait a while until the water temperature drops and he is fully awake, then you can give him this pill."

Chang Sheng looked at the pill in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen a pill. He never expected that Mu Xue would give it to him so casually.

He wiped his hands on his body again and again before carefully accepting the small pill with both hands.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Mu Xue joked, "Don't be nervous, this is just a Blood Regeneration Pill, worth who knows how much silver it is."

Seeing that Changsheng was a little nervous, Ren Yuan also said, "Brother Changsheng, don't worry, I won't snatch the pills from your hands, so you don't need to be so nervous."

Chang Sheng, embarrassed by their teasing, scratched his head and whispered, "I've never seen a pill before, have I?"

Ren Yuan chuckled and said, "Actually, I've never seen a pill before either. Why don't you let me see it again once you figure it out?"

Mu Xue then spoke up, "Alright, Brother Ren, stop making fun of Changsheng. Keep an eye on Young Master Mu; he might struggle in a moment, so remember to hold him down and prevent him from knocking off the golden needles on his head."

Upon hearing Mu Xue's instructions, the two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.
