Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Yoruichi and Rinji, who had been waiting outside the door, hurriedly came in.

Yoruichi stood respectfully to one side.

Lin Jiu rushed to the bedside and said angrily, "You've had such a serious accident, why didn't you tell me? Aren't you just being ridiculous?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Ye Shangyuan's wrist and began to take his pulse.

After a long pause, he looked at Ye Shangyuan in astonishment and said incredulously, "You've encountered a deity???"

Ye San couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ye Shangyuan wasn't angry. He smiled and said softly, "Perhaps she's a fairy."

He thought, calling her a fairy wouldn't be wrong. Miss Mu Wu truly possessed a face of unparalleled beauty.

When Yoruichi was seriously injured, although he was in a daze, he was still conscious for a short time. He knew that it was the fifth young lady of the Mu family who saved him and the prince.

Ye San interjected at this moment, "Just as Your Highness said, this time it really was a fairy who saved our Prince."

He now greatly admires Mu Xue's medical skills, as well as her alchemy techniques that can produce pills in a matter of minutes.

Even though he hadn't experienced the golden age of ancient medicine, he had still read the relevant records. The time and quantity of pills produced were truly unprecedented.

Lin Jiu became interested and grabbed Ye San's arm, asking, "Who are you talking about?"

Ye San glanced at Ye Shangyuan but remained silent.

Lin Jiu turned around and went back to Ye Shangyuan's side, saying, "Little Yuanyuan, we've known each other for so many years, why don't you call him over and let me get to know him?"

"No, she's exhausted from suppressing the poison for me these past few days. Let her rest properly."

"Little Yuanyuan, you've changed. You never used to treat me like this," Lin Jiu said dejectedly.

Ye San felt his eyes were burning; this was a spitting image of Shen Ji!

Yoruichi coughed lightly, signaling Lin Jiu to be careful.

Ye Shangyuan's face darkened. He propped his chin on his hand and looked at Lin Jiu, saying, "Next time, stay away from Shen Jiyuan."

"Oh, okay," Lin Jiu replied dismissively.

Ye Shangyuan felt very tired after talking for a while. He said to Ye San, "Arrange a room for him that is far away. Don't bother me unless it's necessary."

Ye San understood. This matter meant that Lin Jiu should not come over and interfere with the prince and Mu Xue's relationship unless necessary!

Yoruichi understood, but Lin Jiu was still looking at Ye Shangyuan with some confusion.

"No, I'm your doctor. What will you do if I don't come to see you?" Lin Jiu asked.

Ye Shangyuan ignored him and waved his hand. Ye Yi then pulled Lin Jiu, who was about to say something more, and walked out.

Even from a great distance, one could still hear Lin Jiu's questioning voice.

In the end, Yoruichi could only quiet him down by covering his mouth.

Ye Shangyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. How come he hadn't noticed Lin Jiu was so noisy before?

Seeing him rubbing his forehead, Ye San assumed he was unwell and quickly asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Should we call Miss Mu over to take a look?"

"It's alright, let her rest well. Keep an eye on her, she doesn't look well," Ye Shangyuan said.

"Yes," Ye San replied.

"Go down. Call me if you need anything." Ye Shangyuan said, then lay down.

Ye San quietly slipped out.

He closed the door and glanced at the room next door, where Mu Xue lived.

He suddenly remembered what Leng Quan had said. At the time, he hadn't taken it seriously, but now he wondered if it was too late for him to try and win Mu Xue's favor.

Mu Xue was unaware of all this. As soon as she returned to her room, she felt all her strength drain away, and her body, which she had been trying to improve, returned to its previous state.

She fell asleep immediately, all the fatigue from the past few days suddenly coming over her.

Night fell, and the courtyard was quiet, without a sound. Leng Quan and Ye San squatted in the tree, looking at the two rooms not far away, which were pitch black.

Leng Quan tossed a peanut into his mouth and chewed it with a "crunch crunch".

Ye San rested his chin on his hand and looked at the door. He suddenly said, "Brother Leng, do you think we should go and wake up the Prince and Miss Mu? They've been sleeping for a long time."

Leng Quan chewed on a peanut and said, "You go if you want. The princess has been boiled and frozen these past few days, and she's had so much blood drawn. I think we should let her rest."

Leng Quan tossed another grain into his mouth and continued, "Miss Xue has been guarding the Prince for days and nights without sleep. Let them all get some rest. We'll stay here and keep watch. If there's any disturbance, we'll go over there."

Ye San nodded and said, "Brother Leng, you know how to enjoy life."

Nothing happened all night.

It was late afternoon again when Mu Xue opened her eyes and felt sore all over and had a dry, itchy throat.

She endured her discomfort, moved to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it, which made her throat feel a little better.

She managed to tidy herself up and went to the courtyard, where she saw Wu Ying and Ye Yi sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

Mu Xue was overjoyed; she really didn't want to take another step.

She called out in a hoarse voice, "Yoichi, Uncle Wu."

"Oh dear, Xiaoxue, why do you look so pale? Come, come sit down." Wu Ying heard the call and turned around to look. He found that Mu Xue's usually fair face was now deathly pale, with no color in her skin.

Yoruichi also stood up and made way for him.

Wu Ying helped Mu Xue sit down.

He reached out and touched Mu Xue's forehead, exclaiming, "Oh dear, Xiao Xue, you have a fever!"

Mu Xue checked her temperature and said, "I probably didn't pay attention last night and caught a cold. I'll go get some medicine and I'll be fine."

"Then don't move. Go back to your room and lie down. I'll go get your medicine. Go back now." Wu Ying said, getting up to leave.

Yoruichi grabbed him and said, "Mr. Lin is next door. He arrived last night. I'll go to him and ask for some medicine."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, his medicine is always better than the ones from outside," Wu Ying urged.

Mu Xue began, "I really can do it myself..."

Wu Ying interrupted her, saying, "It's no trouble at all. You should go back and rest. I'll go make you some porridge."

Helpless, Mu Xue could only return to her room.

The conversation between the group was clearly overheard by Ye Shangyuan and Ye San inside the room.

Ye San thought to herself: We're doomed!

Ye Shangyuan asked in a somewhat cold tone, "Didn't I tell you to take care of Mumu? How come you didn't even know she was sick?"

Ye San hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I didn't leave the courtyard at all last night and kept an eye on the room, but there was really no movement from Miss Mu's room. I couldn't just go in to check!"

Ye San suddenly felt a little envious of him.

Ye Shangyuan thought about it and agreed. There wasn't a single maid in the courtyard. Fortunately, he had already thought of a way to send Leng Quan to pick up Su Su.

Leng Quan Mu Xue was waiting for Su Su to come out of the courtyard when he sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered to himself, "Who misses me?"

Su Su quickly packed a few things and got into the carriage with Leng Quan. People from the Jing Prince's residence were still looking for them outside.

Leng Quan handed Su Su a cap and said, "Put this on and try not to let anyone see your face."

Su Su nodded and took the cap, putting it on her head.
