"It's nothing much, just that you should rest well these days, drink less, stay up less, and I've also prescribed some medicine for both of us to take together and recuperate for a while..."
Lin Yuwei carefully relayed everything Feng Jin had told her to Chu Chenyi. After she finished, a silence fell between them.
After a moment, and after much mental preparation, Lin Yuwei dared to lift her eyes to glance at Chu Chenyi, then, bracing herself, she explained, "Actually... actually, there's really nothing wrong with you, it's just... a bit weak. If you recuperate for a while, you'll definitely be fine."
After thinking for a long time, she finally recalled what Sister Feng Jin had said before leaving, and then she earnestly persuaded and comforted Chu Chenyi.
Having physical issues was a perfectly normal thing. Since one was ill, one had to find a way to get better. This wasn't some incurable terminal illness; with proper treatment, one would certainly recover.
Worried that Chu Chenyi might be burdened, Lin Yuwei, in her great understanding, patted his shoulder and kindly advised, "Sister Feng Jin said that these are just minor ailments. As long as you take the medicine she prescribed and recuperate for a period, you'll definitely get better. So don't worry, don't have any psychological burdens, you'll be fine!"
She had tried her best to persuade him. She hoped Chu Chenyi would be more open-minded and not have too much psychological pressure over these small matters, as it would be detrimental to his treatment.
Chu Chenyi lifted his eyelids to look at Lin Yuwei, his tone as gentle as he could manage, "Do you truly believe everything Feng Jin said?"
"Of course!" Lin Yuwei replied with absolute certainty, "Of course, I believe it. Sister Feng Jin's medical skills are so incredible, she can even cure those on the verge of death. Your little ailment is naturally no problem at all. Just don't worry, listen obediently, and get treated. You can still have descendants!"
Chu Chenyi helplessly held his forehead. He truly admired how Lin Yuwei was so unwavering in her belief of Feng Jin's words. Had Feng Jin somehow cast a spell on her?
"What kind of expression is that? Don't you believe Sister Feng Jin's words?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Yuwei could roughly guess his thoughts and asked back with a hint of displeasure, "How can you doubt like this? Sister Feng Jin is so genuine in her concern for me. If she knew this, she would surely be heartbroken."
"You truly believe everything Feng Jin says without question. Haven't you ever considered that she might be deliberately deceiving you!"
With a 'whoosh', Lin Yuwei sprang up from her chair, glaring at Chu Chenyi with eyes blazing, "Even if you were to deceive me, Sister Feng Jin absolutely would not. Do you really think I would believe you and doubt..."
"Be quiet. Today, I will take you to see Feng Jin to get to the bottom of this and see if this prince is sick or not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chenyi directly grabbed Lin Yuwei's hand and pulled her out. To shorten the journey, he decided to ride horseback directly.
...
"Your Highness... Your Highness... My young madam is still resting. You can't barge in directly... Your Highness..."
Cai Qing's anxious voice could be heard from outside the door. Feng Jin put down the pearl powder she was grinding, got up, and opened the door. She saw Cai Qing blocking Chu Chenyi with her arms outstretched.
Chu Chenyi, who was being blocked, had a terrifyingly dark expression. He still held Lin Yuwei's hand tightly, and when he looked at Feng Jin, his eyes were filled with rage.
"Does Your Highness Jing not know that barging in uninvited and so aggressively is extremely rude!"
A flicker of displeasure crossed Feng Jin's eyes. Did he really think this was a place he could come and go as he pleased? He was truly so arrogant. If she didn't teach him a lesson, wouldn't he become even more presumptuous next time?
"This prince has something to ask of you, and you give me..."
"Since you have something to discuss, I would trouble Your Highness Jing to wait in the main hall. This is the women's courtyard. With an outsider like Your Highness Jing entering, I have every reason to suspect you have ill intentions!"
Without indulging him, and disregarding Chu Chenyi's royal status, she retorted directly.
Before Chu Chenyi could speak further, Feng Jin's gaze shifted directly to Cai Qing, and she said lightly, "Go invite His Highness Jing to the main hall."
"Yes, Young Madam."
Cai Qing acknowledged and then stepped in front of Chu Chenyi, "Your Highness, Madam, please follow this servant to the main hall to wait."
Chu Chenyi was fuming but had no outlet for his anger. He helplessly flicked his sleeves and walked with Cai Qing towards the main hall.
Feng Jin returned to her room and continued grinding pearl powder, with no intention of going to the front hall.
"Young Madam, I have already led His Highness Jing and the Madam to the main hall. When do you plan to go over?"
"I don't plan to go over for now. You deal with them first. If you can send them away, send them away."
"Ah..." Cai Qing exclaimed in surprise and looked at Feng Jin with some difficulty. After hesitating, she said, "Young Madam, why don't you go and see them? I saw that His Highness Jing was coming with great ferocity, and I might not be able to handle it. It will still be troublesome for you to make a trip."
Just looking at His Highness Jing made her incredibly scared, let alone dealing with him. She probably wouldn't even be able to utter a complete sentence.
Feng Jin helplessly put down her work, lifted her eyelids to look at Cai Qing, and thought, "Never mind, it's my own mess, I shouldn't let others clean it up. I'll go take a look myself."
However, her current attire wasn't very suitable. Feng Jin glanced at herself in the bronze mirror. Her long hair was casually tied back, and she was wearing a simple, plain-colored dress, making her look like a village girl.
With this attire facing Chu Chenyi's brocade robes, wouldn't she lose her imposing presence?
"I'll change my clothes first. You go and handle them for now."
"Yes, Young Madam. This servant will go right away."
Cai Qing curtsied slightly and then walked away. By the time she arrived, Chu Chenyi was already impatiently tapping his fingers on the table.
Lin Yuwei, who had come with him, appeared very nervous, her gaze constantly darting around. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, Madam, our Young Madam will be here shortly. Please wait here for a moment."
Chu Chenyi said nothing. Today, he would not rest until he saw Feng Jin. He wanted to ask her personally what her intentions were.
After a moment, Lin Yuwei hesitated before tentatively asking, "Why don't we go back first? We can come again another day."
Upon hearing this, Cai Qing's eyes also lit up, and she was also hoping he would leave quickly.
