"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 to recuperate for a while..."
Lin Yuwei carefully recounted everything Feng Jin had told her to Chu Chenyi. After she finished speaking, a silence fell between them.
After a pause, and after much internal preparation, Lin Yuwei dared to lift her eyes to glance at Chu Chenyi, and with a forced courage, she explained, "Actually... actually... there's nothing wrong with you, you're just... a bit weak. If you recuperate for a while, you'll surely be fine."
After thinking for a long time, she finally recalled what Sister Feng Jin had said before leaving, and then earnestly advised and comforted Chu Chenyi.
It was a perfectly normal thing to have health problems. Since one is ill, one must find a way to get better. This is not an incurable terminal illness. With proper treatment, one will surely recover.
Worried that Chu Chenyi might have psychological burdens, Lin Yuwei, with great understanding, patted Chu Chenyi's shoulder and comforted him kindly, "Sister Feng Jin said that these are all minor ailments for you. As long as you take the medicine she prescribed and recuperate for a while, you will definitely get better. So don't worry, and don't have any psychological burdens. You will be fine!"
She did her best to persuade him, hoping that Chu Chenyi could be more open-minded and not carry too much psychological burden over these small matters, as it would be detrimental to his treatment.
Chu Chenyi raised his eyelids to look at Lin Yuwei, and his tone was as gentle as he could manage, "Do you really believe everything Feng Jin said?"
"Of course!" Lin Yuwei replied with unwavering certainty, "Of course, I believe it. Sister Feng Jin's medical skills are so amazing, she can even cure people who are on the verge of death. Your little ailment is naturally no problem. Don't worry, just listen obediently and get treated. You can still have offspring!"
Chu Chenyi helplessly covered his forehead. He truly admired how Lin Yuwei was so unfailingly convinced by Feng Jin's words, as if Feng Jin had cast some spell on her.
"What's that look on your face? Don't you believe Sister Feng Jin's words?"
Lin Yuwei, seeing his expression, could vaguely guess something and retorted with a hint of displeasure, "How can you doubt her? Sister Feng Jin is treating you with such sincerity. If she knew, she would surely be very hurt."
"You truly believe everything Feng Jin said without question. Haven't you ever considered that she might be deliberately deceiving you!"
With a 'whoosh,' Lin Yuwei shot up from her chair, her eyes blazing as she glared at Chu Chenyi, "Even if you would lie to me, Sister Feng Jin would absolutely not lie to me. Do you really think I would believe you and doubt..."
"Shut up, I'll take you to see Feng Jin today to get a clear answer, and see if this prince is ill or not!"
As his words fell, Chu Chenyi directly grabbed Lin Yuwei's hand and pulled her outside. To shorten the journey, he decided to ride a horse.
...
"Your Highness... Your Highness... My young madam is still resting. You cannot barge in directly... Your Highness..."
Cai Qing's anxious voice came from outside the room. Feng Jin put down the pearl powder she was grinding and stood up to open the door. She saw Cai Qing with her arms spread wide, blocking Chu Chenyi.
Chu Chenyi, who was being blocked, had a frighteningly dark expression. He was still tightly holding Lin Yuwei's hand, and as he looked at Feng Jin, his eyes were filled with rage.
"Does His Highness Jing Wang not know that barging in uninvited and so rudely is extremely impolite!"
A flicker of displeasure crossed Feng Jin's eyes. Did he really think this was a place he could just come and go as he pleased? He was truly arrogant. If she didn't teach him a lesson, wouldn't he become even more presumptuous next time?
"I have a reason to come here. If you have business, please have His Highness Jing Wang wait in the main hall. This is the women's inner court, and for an outsider like His Highness Jing Wang to enter, I have every reason to suspect that His Highness Jing Wang harbors ill intentions!"
She didn't indulge him at all, disregarding Chu Chenyi's princely status and directly retorted.
Before Chu Chenyi could speak further, Feng Jin's gaze shifted to Cai Qing, and she calmly instructed, "Go and invite His Highness Jing Wang to the main hall."
"Yes, Madam."
Cai Qing acknowledged and then stepped in front of Chu Chenyi, "Your Highness, Madam, please follow me to the main hall to wait."
Chu Chenyi, full of anger but with nowhere to vent it, helplessly flicked his sleeve and walked towards the main hall with Cai Qing.
Feng Jin returned to her room and continued grinding the pearl powder, showing no intention of going to the front hall.
"Madam, I have already led His Highness Jing and Madam to the main hall. When do you plan to go?"
"I have no plans to go for the time being. You handle them first. If you can send them away, send them away first."
"Ah..." Cai Qing exclaimed in surprise and looked at Feng Jin with a troubled expression. After hesitating, she said, "Madam, why don't you go and see them? I saw His Highness Jing Wang approaching aggressively, and I might not be able to handle him. It will still be hard work for Madam to go."
Just looking at Prince Jing made her extremely scared. Let alone dealing with him. She probably wouldn't even be able to speak a complete sentence.
Feng Jin reluctantly put down her work, lifted her eyelids to look at Cai Qing, and sighed. Well, after all, it was her own mess, so she shouldn't let others clean it up. She should go and see them herself.
However, her current attire wasn't very suitable. Feng Jin glanced at herself in the bronze mirror. Her long hair was casually tied up behind her head, and she was wearing a simple, plain colored dress, looking like a village girl.
Wouldn't this attire make her lose her aura when facing Chu Chenyi in his fine silks and brocades?
"I'll change my clothes first. You go and handle things for now."
"Yes, Madam. I'll be right there."
Cai Qing curtsied slightly and then walked away. By the time she arrived, Chu Chenyi was already growing impatient, his fingers constantly tapping on the table.
As for Lin Yuwei, who had accompanied him, she appeared very nervous, her gaze darting around. She just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Your Highness, Madam, our Madam will be here shortly. Please wait a moment."
Chu Chenyi remained silent. He would not give up today 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 lit up, and she also hoped that he would leave quickly.
