Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Inside the room, Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen looked at each other simultaneously.

“You come from Prince Min’s residence.”

"Yes," Mu Jinchen replied without hiding anything.

"No wonder," Su Qianrou said, then continued bandaging him without asking any more questions.

In no time, the bandage was finished, and then I helped him put on his clothes. I couldn't help but complain, "It's so cold, and you're only wearing one piece of clothing. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"

"convenient".

"It is quite convenient. If you were outside, you wouldn't even need to bandage the wound; the blood would just freeze. That would be inconvenient," Su Qianrou said as she packed her things.

Mu Jinchen had no rebuttal, so he remained silent.

Afterwards, Su Qianrou packed her things and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"I'll be leaving shortly."

“Okay,” Su Qianrou said, sitting down beside him.

"You saved me today, what do you want in return?"

Su Qianrou said casually, "I saved you, not for your repayment."

"I have always been grateful for kindness received."

Su Qianrou looked at him and said, "In that case, Your Highness, please give me some money. As for how much or how little, it's entirely up to Your Highness."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think Miss Su was short of money."

"I am not short of money, but who would complain about having too much money, Your Highness?"

"The King of Japan will have it delivered tomorrow."

"Well... thank you very much, Your Highness."

Mu Jinchen glanced at her, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll be leaving now."

"Mm," Su Qianrou also stood up.

Then, Mu Jinchen jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Su Qianrou watched him leave. After he went out, she glanced at the pool water, which was already stained red with blood. Against the backdrop of red roses, the blood appeared even more vivid. Then she called out, "Chunzhu."

Upon hearing this, Chunzhu pushed open the door and came in, "Miss."

"Treat this water and replace it with clean water."

When Chunzhu saw that the water in the pool had turned red, and there was a handkerchief stained with blood and some wound medicine on the side, she had some doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions. She replied, "Yes," and then went forward to deal with it.

Su Qianrou waited on the side.

The next day, Chunzhu went into the room to wake Su Qianrou as usual, but found that her complexion seemed a little off. So she touched her forehead and then called out in a panic, "Qiulan, Qiulan, come quickly, Miss is sick."

Qiulan heard her calling from the outer room and immediately ran in, asking anxiously, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"Miss is sick, please take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lan didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly went to the bedside to take Su Qianrou's pulse.

Juxia brought in water, and seeing the situation, quickly put the basin down, then walked to the bedside and asked, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"Miss has caught a cold; she probably got chilled last night," Qiulan said.

"How could you catch a cold?" Juxia asked, puzzled.

Chunzhu thought of something and said, "It must be because he caught a chill while taking a bath last night."

Juxia then instructed, "Chunzhu, go and fetch a doctor immediately. Qiulan, stay here and take care of Miss. I'm going to Fuxi Courtyard."

"Okay," the two replied.

Two hours later, Su Qianrou finally woke up, only to find herself with a terrible headache.

"Miss, you're awake," Chunzhu said happily.

"What's wrong with me?" Su Qianrou then realized that her voice was a little hoarse.

"Miss has caught a cold; she must have been chilled last night."

Su Qianrou's first reaction was that she would have to take medicine again.

imperial study room

After the court session, Mu Jinchen spent his time in the Imperial Study reviewing memorials.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the dragon desk. He casually picked up a book and was about to open it when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Go to the accountant and get three thousand taels of silver notes to send to Miss Su."

"Miss Su, which Miss Su?" Yingfeng didn't react for a moment.

Mu Jinchen looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.

Yingfeng then realized, "Is Your Highness referring to Miss Su San?"

"Otherwise what?"

Upon hearing this, Yingfeng walked to his side and asked with a gossipy look, "Last night, when the prince entered the Marquis's mansion, his wounds had already been bandaged. Could it be... that Miss Su bandaged them?"

Mu Jinchen did not answer, but picked up his pen and began to review the memorials.

Yingfeng knew him well and knew that he had tacitly agreed, so she gave him an ambiguous smile and looked at him with a teasing expression.

Seeing that he was still there, Mu Jinchen said impatiently, "Hurry up and go."

Yingfeng smiled and said, "Yes, I will go now," and then walked out.

Hou Mansion

Chunzhu was carrying breakfast towards Chaoxi Courtyard when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her so much that she almost dropped the food box. "Who is it? Trying to scare me to death?"

Seeing that she was frightened, Yingfeng hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Chunzhu."

"It's you! What brings you here?"

"I'm here to see your young lady."

"My young lady".

"Ok".

"What do you want with my young lady?"

"My lord asked me to deliver some things to Miss Su."

"Your Highness," Chunzhu was still unaware of Mu Jinchen's identity, hence her confusion.

Seeing her blank expression, Yingfeng asked, "You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"My prince is the regent."

"What did you say?" Chunzhu was greatly shocked, so she raised her voice.

Yingfeng instinctively covered her mouth, "Shh, keep your voice down, don't attract attention."

Chunzhu patted his hand, signaling him to let go.

Yingfeng then realized he had lost his composure, quickly let go, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Chunzhu didn't take it to heart, but confirmed, "Just now you said that your young master is the regent."

"Hmm, didn't Miss Su tell you?"

Chunzhu was so shocked she couldn't speak. That was the Regent, who held immense power and was second only to the Emperor. Thinking back to how she had suspected him of having ill intentions, she wanted to slap herself.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Yingfeng waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Miss Chunzhu, Miss Chunzhu."

Chunzhu finally came to her senses, but she wasn't fully awake yet, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Please, Miss Chunzhu, take me to Miss Su."

"My young lady is ill and cannot receive guests."

"Miss Su is sick. What's wrong?"

"Wind-cold".

"Wind-cold".

"Ok".

Yingfeng couldn't help but laugh as he thought of something.

"why are you laughing".

"It's nothing. By the way, could you please pass this money on to Miss Su?" he said, handing her three thousand taels of silver notes.

"This is from the Regent to my young lady."

"Ok".

"Why is the Regent giving my young lady money for no reason?"

"I don't know about that," he said, then added, "I shouldn't stay any longer, so I'll be leaving now. Remember to give the money to Miss Su, don't forget." With that, he vanished in a flash.

Chunzhu was stunned by his actions. She looked around but couldn't find him anywhere. She found it amazing and then walked towards Chaoxi Courtyard.
