Yaoniang had no clue about any of this. She was still wondering, with him acting like that, did he agree or not?
After thinking about it for a long time, Yaoniang still couldn't reach a satisfying conclusion. Her upper eyelid and lower eyelid couldn't keep fighting, so she yawned then fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was awakened by the movement in the courtyard.
As soon as she sat up from the bed, she saw Hong Die walk in with joy.
"Madam, the Internal Affairs Office sent people over and gave a lot of things, saying that His Highness ordered a small kitchen for our courtyard. Outside, they are busy getting everything in place."
Yaoniang was so excited that her face of dejection disappeared. "For real?"
Hong Die nodded. "His Highness is very nice to Madam. This is the first time for a small kitchen to be set up in the backyard except for the consort’s."
The joy on Hong Die's face was so obvious that Yaoniang couldn't help but smile.
With such a big movement from Rongxi Courtyard, the various other courtyards naturally received the news.
There were several different narrations. But no matter what, in the eyes of the servants, it showed how much that person from Rongxi Courtyard was valued by His Highness. It wasn’t too different from when that person from Liuchun Pavilion first entered the mansion.
The night was deep, and the room was full of love.
Yaoniang's legs and feet were trembling so she had Yuchan and Hong Chou support her into the bathroom. After taking a hot bath, she felt much more comfortable.
The bedding on the bed was changed again, and the window was opened to let in some air.
After Yaoniang came back, Jin Wang also went to bathe. Since he was gone for a long time, by the time he returned, Yaoniang was already drowsy.
It was autumn, and the weather was getting colder.
Jinzhou gets real hot during the hotter season and becomes very cold in the colder season. Before, it was possible to wear only a thin jacket, but now a full-on coat must be worn. As soon as Jin Wang entered the bed, Yaoniang could feel the ice-cold dampness from his body.
"Your Highness, you didn't use hot water?"
Jin Wang has a habit of bathing in cold water, but not every day. Yet in recent days it has become very frequent. Yaoniang could feel that something was wrong.
Jin Wang did not speak but just laid down beside her. Yaoniang thought he was unwell, so she wanted to sit up and look at him. It was a pity that her body was so weak that she accidentally fell on top of him. As she tried to sit up, she touched something that shouldn’t be touched.
The thing was bulging and hot. She couldn't even wrap her palm around it.
That was-
Yaoniang's face and ears turned red. She withdrew her hand as if she was scalded and didn't know what to say. But she couldn't help thinking in her heart that they just did it, how could he still be like this…
"Go to sleep." Jin Wang's cold voice interrupted her thoughts. Yaoniang was terrified that he would toss herself again, so she didn't dare to ask more but laid back down beside him. Afraid that something might happen, she deliberately stayed away from him, lest he'd want to eat her up again.
No words were spoken for the rest of the night.
The next day, when Yaoniang was helping Jin Wang get dressed, she noticed that his eyes looked weird. His eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn’t slept well.
But because the time was getting late and that she was anxious to go to Siyi Courtyard, she didn't bother to think about it in further detail. After seeing Jin Wang off, she didn’t even have time for breakfast before she hurried over to Siyi Courtyard.
Jin Wang returned to Zhaohui Hall and asked his servants to call for Doctor Liu to come.
Doctor Liu felt his pulse and sighed deeply. Then he said that he would go back to try to come up with another prescription.
After Doctor Liu left, Fucheng couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, why don’t you go look for Side Consort Hu? No matter what, your life is the most important…"
Jin Wang shot over an icy gaze. The dark black pupils were surrounded by light blood. No matter how one looked at them, their hearts would skip a beat.
“Too talkative!"
Fucheng had always been silent before, but this time he didn't want to hold back anymore. Even if he ended up despised and punished, he still has to persuade him just this once.
"This old servant knows that you like Lady Su and that she is the only one in your eyes. But you are a member of the imperial family, a son of the dragon, and a man to be respected. It's really not worth it… This old servant also knows that you don't want to. But as long as you want to and have the intention, no matter how serious that illness of yours is, it won’t be impossible. It’s just that you didn’t want to, but now please do it for the sake of your body…"
With a bang, Jin Wang smashed the teacup in his hand.
The teacup fell to the ground, and broken pieces of porcelain flew everywhere.
"If you continue to speak, this prince will cut off your tongue!" At this time, Jin Wang's eyes were blood-red, and there was violence hidden in them. Although they were still human eyes, they resembled more like those of beasts.
A fierce beast about to go mad.
Fucheng knelt down with a plop.
The room was frighteningly quiet.
Jin Wang suddenly grunted. He raised his head and massaged his eyebrows. His eyes were tightly closed and his facial muscles kept twitching as if he was enduring great pain.
How could Fucheng bother to care for other things at this point? He moved closer towards JIn Wang and looked at his situation. Then he turned around and ordered people to bring in a basin of cold water. After soaking a handkerchief in the water, he used it to cover Jin Wang’s eyes.
"Your Highness…" At this time, Fucheng’s usual majestic appearance was nowhere to be found. Looking pitiful, he anxiously wished he could cry for Jin Wang to see.
"Go and remind An Yi," said Jin Wang after a long time.
