Zhan Tianye had a faint feeling that he had overlooked something.
But now was not the time to dwell on it.
He did not immediately order Qiu Lu to find Yun Shu.
He still harbored doubts about Yun Shu's medical skills.
"Don't go... don't... Mother..."
Zhan Xiaoli mumbled in a daze.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaojing clenched his small fists. He was determined to avenge his elder brother!
But why wasn't that scummy father letting Uncle Qiu find Mother yet?
Zhan Tianye commanded Qiu Lu, "Go, find another physician!"
Yun Xiaojing was incredulous.
Find another doctor, but not Mother?
Soon, another physician arrived.
After examining Zhan Xiaoli's pulse and seeing how delirious he was from the high fever, the physician could only write out a prescription.
"Persistent high fever that won't subside, and such a severe one... Young Marquis, Young Marquis is in mortal danger!"
The physician said fearfully.
Zhan Tianye's aura turned sharp and piercing.
The physician dared not breathe.
"My Lord, this..." Qiu Lu exclaimed in dismay.
Yun Xiaojing's tears welled up, clinging to his long eyelashes. "Godfather, Brother is so pitiful!"
Hmph!
If they didn't go find Mother soon, he would find a way to sneak out and find her himself!
Zhan Tianye had his men escort the physician out.
Then, with dark, profound eyes, he commanded Qiu Lu, "Go invite the Second Miss Yun!"
"Yes!"
Yun Xiaojing, upon hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother was coming, there was nothing to fear!
Zhan Tianye stared at Yun Xiaojing, who had suddenly relaxed, and the peculiar feeling in his heart resurfaced.
"Xiaojing."
He called out in a deep voice.
Yun Xiaojing blinked his innocent, beautiful big eyes. "Godfather, is there something?"
How did it feel like he was about to reveal his little secret?
Perhaps he should seize an opportunity to slip away?
Zhan Tianye frowned. "It's nothing."
Yun Xiaojing yawned. "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep. I'll come check on Brother later."
He needed to hide quickly!
He absolutely must not let Mother see him!
A moment later.
The General's Manor.
Yun Shu's eyes snapped open.
The faint sounds of two people fighting could be heard from outside the door.
"Who is it?" she asked in a low voice.
Jing Heng's report came back, "Qiu Lu."
Qiu Lu?
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow slightly. Why would Qiu Lu suddenly appear?
Didn't his master detest her so much that he couldn't eat?
"What is it?"
She asked.
Yawning, she got up and put on her clothes.
"The Young Marquis has a persistent high fever. Two physicians have been unable to bring it down, so my Lord has ordered me to invite Second Miss Yun to take a look. Please rest assured, Miss Yun, regarding compensation, name your price. As long as Second Miss Yun can..."
Before Qiu Lu could finish speaking, the door opened.
A chilling, glass-like gleam flickered in Yun Shu's languid, beautiful eyes. "The Young Marquis is ill? How did he get ill? With a high fever that won't subside?"
"This... he fell ill this afternoon. As for the cause, the physicians say it was likely due to fright," Qiu Lu said, startled.
Why did it feel like Second Miss Yun's gaze could devour people?
Was it anger?
Was it anger because the Young Marquis was ill?
That shouldn't be the case.
"Let's go," Yun Shu said sternly.
They actually waited until this hour to find her!
Letting her Little Li suffer from a persistent high fever for so long!
At this moment, Yun Shu's heart was filled with fury.
How could she have overlooked that Zhan Xiaoli, after seeing Yun Yueyin, would be easily susceptible to illness if his heart was hurt by Yun Yueyin!
Damn it!
Qiu Lu felt his mind wasn't working well.
Second Miss Yun was not only angry but also very anxious.
Could it be...
As he walked, he tentatively asked, "Second Miss Yun really likes the Young Marquis? Boys of about four or five years old like the Young Marquis?"
"Little Li is so adorable, of course I like him," Yun Shu said, rolling her eyes at Qiu Lu. What nonsense.
She gave birth to her son, how could she not love him?
Besides, Zhan Xiaoli was so well-behaved and sensible!
Qiu Lu almost stumbled and fell, further solidifying the suspicion in his heart.
While Second Miss Yun's medical skills were high... she actually had such perverse preferences!
He must keep a close eye on Second Miss Yun, ensuring she never hurt the Young Marquis's fragile heart again!
If Yun Shu knew Qiu Lu's thoughts at this moment, she would have kicked him.
Sent him flying!
Soon.
Yun Shu followed Qiu Lu to the Night King's Manor.
And then to Zhan Xiaoli's room.
If she hadn't feared being suspected by Qiu Lu and Zhan Tianye, she would have come long ago!
When the door opened and she appeared in the room.
Zhan Tianye turned his head to look.
The moonlight cast a glow upon the woman, as if every strand of her hair emanated a subtle light.
Coupled with the cool detachment that belonged to the night, her resplendent and bright countenance, beneath a hint of coldness, exuded an ethereal quality.
Exquisitely beautiful.
She walked in quickly.
Her gaze, after a fleeting glance at Zhan Tianye, was drawn to Zhan Xiaoli on the bed.
She stared intently at Zhan Xiaoli.
Completely ignoring Zhan Tianye beside him.
She reached out to grasp Zhan Xiaoli's hand to feel his pulse.
Suddenly, her wrist was caught by Zhan Tianye.
His hand felt as hot as a red-hot iron, and just as strong.
It was a powerful touch, imbued with internal energy.
Just as Yun Shu was about to strike down with her other hand, severing his audacious hand, she restrained herself.
She looked coldly at Zhan Tianye. "Night King, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Zhan Tianye scrutinized her with sharp eyes.
Yun Shu was amused and laughed. "Heh, Night King, you sent Qiu Lu to fetch me in the middle of the night, and you ask what I'm doing?"
What was wrong with this man?
Zhan Tianye instantly sobered up. He frowned slightly, looking down at Yun Shu's hand holding Zhan Xiaoli, and the image of Prince Rao playing with various young boys flashed in his mind.
His brow twitched uncontrollably.
He withdrew his hand and rubbed his temple.
Yun Shu felt his pulse, then touched Zhan Xiaoli's forehead.
Poor child!
With just a touch, she could estimate the temperature.
Nearly 39 degrees!
This was truly dangerous for a child!
She touched Zhan Xiaoli's little hand again. It was cold to the touch, indicating that he would likely develop a fever again!
Qiu Lu, standing by, saw Yun Shu touching Zhan Xiaoli's hand and his eyes widened!
Fortunately, Yun Shu only touched it for a moment before letting go.
Yun Shu looked up, her gaze filled with anger as she looked at Zhan Tianye. "From this afternoon until now, is this how you've been taking care of him? Since the other physicians couldn't bring down his fever, why didn't you come to me sooner?"
Letting Little Li suffer from a persistent high fever!
It broke her heart!
Zhan Tianye was questioned so harshly and frowned.
Yun Shu no longer looked at Zhan Tianye.
She took out a bottle of medicine from her embrace.
After administering it to Zhan Xiaoli, she took out silver needles and began to needle his hands and arms.
Zhan Tianye watched Yun Shu's every move.
At the doorway.
A small head peeked around stealthily.
It thought it hadn't been discovered.
Just as it was about to sneak away,
Suddenly, Yun Shu looked up and glanced towards the doorway.
