The next day, news spread out from the market that the eldest daughter of the Marquis Anping Palace had been murdered.

There were also rumors in the palace that the death of Princess Yuexi was not a rumor.

Yesterday, the Princess Yuexi was summoned by the empress into the palace. On the way back to the residence, there was an assault from an evil person.

Her servant was Zi Hui, and her martial arts were high. She fought valiantly and risked her life to protect her master.

During the battle, a group of thieves was chasing after Princess Yuexi, who was completely powerless and ran back to the city in a panic, attempting to call for help.

Unexpectedly, the thieves never stopped chasing, and vowed to kill Princess Yuexi.

Fortunately, his servant Zi Hui managed to save him in time.

After that, the servant, Zi Hui, followed the principle of proximity.

He sent the fainted Princess Yuexi, who had been frightened out of his wits, to the Ninth Prince's residence to request for medical treatment.

In the Ninth Prince Residence, the Imperial Physician was announced in the middle of the night.

The old emperor thought it was the Ninth Prince Su Nanxing.

Who knew that after this question, it was actually the Princess Yuexi that he had bestowed upon them?

The current Emperor was instantly enraged.

Under the watch of the Emperor, even bandits dared to be so rampant. That same night, the Supreme Court was called out and General Nangong was to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Eastern Palace's Crown Prince had the authority to handle the matter.

Furthermore, he personally selected a few guards with extraordinary martial arts skills to bestow them to Lin Xuecha.

As for the person involved, he had a good night's sleep.

Lin Xuecha stretched lazily in a comfortable manner. He had already changed his clothes a long time ago.

She glanced at Zi Hui, "Your Highness, aren't you coming to eat?"

Zi Hui brought the prepared dishes to Lin Xuecha and said.

"According to Qian Wu, His Highness was sick yesterday, and he is still lying on the bed."

"Is he sick?"

Lin Xuecha blinked a few times. "Why are you so suddenly sick? Have you seen the imperial physician?"

"I heard that the night before yesterday, her Highness had carried her into the ice cellar. Perhaps she had suffered from cold. After all, her body wasn't very well all along …"

Zi Hui looked worried as she continued to explain.

"Your Highness doesn't like to see patients, especially the imperial physicians. It's the same this time. Fortunately …

Qian Wu understood a little about medicine and sent a bowl of medicine to His Highness. After the butler and Qian Wu talked for a while, His Highness barely managed to drink a bowl.

Lin Xuecha lowered his head slightly.

Her long eyelashes covered the expression in her eyes.

She softly replied. Without asking any more questions, she picked up the wooden chopsticks and began to eat.

Zi Hui sneakily glanced at her.

Seeing that she was eating calmly with her head lowered, a sliver of relief immediately flashed across her eyes.

After breakfast, Lin Xuecha asked Zi Hui about Su Nanxing's residence.

Zi Hui's face was filled with joy but also a little hesitation. He mumbled for a long time before he opened his mouth to speak.

"His Imperial Highness should be in the study right now."

Su Nanxing had an extremely good habit.

Whenever he finished his meal, he would go to the study to read some papers.

Even if he was ill, he could not move, so he went to the study room as usual.

However, he might not be able to eat breakfast.

After reading some books, he returned to his bedroom and collapsed to the ground to rest.

As Lin Xuecha was walking to the study room, he coincidentally met the butler.

When the butler saw her, he immediately smiled. "Princess."

Lin Xuecha walked forward, glanced at the clear porridge and medicine in his hand, and smiled.

She asked, "This, is it for His Highness?"

The steward sighed. "That's right. Speaking of it, I'm quite worried. His Highness' illness is approaching menacingly, but he still doesn't want to be taken seriously. This is really worrying …"

His face was worried, without a hint of pretense.

Lin Xuecha's eyes flashed, he did not understand, why did the people around Su Nanxing were so loyal to him?

After a moment of silence, she turned to the butler and said, "Snow tea is also going to pay a visit to His Highness. Why not, the housekeeper will give her the soup and the Snow Tea will properly advise her highness."

The butler quickly acknowledged.

He gave the tray to Lin Xuecha, and after thanking him, he bowed and left.

Lin Xuecha watched him walk into the distance, before her gaze slowly shifted away and landed on the pitch-black medicinal soup.

She tilted her body slightly and sniffed the medicinal juice, trying to distinguish what it was.

The next moment, she frowned.

It really was a medicine for curing the cold...

Could it be that the man from last night wasn't him?

Lin Xuecha began striding forward.

She stood in front of the study room and knocked on the door. "Your Highness …"

There was no response from inside. She thought for a moment, then pushed the door open.

The door opened, and the handsome man's upright posture appeared before her.

He looked up at her, his eyes dull.

The man's face was sickly white, and the colour of his lips was dull.

Lin Xuecha walked up and placed the tray in his hand on top of his desk.

The man glanced at Lin Xuecha again.

Lin Xuecha first gave him the porridge and then took out the medicine.

She said, "Your Highness didn't eat in the morning, so while the porridge is still warm, hurry up and eat."

Su Nanxing faintly swept a glance over the clear porridge and medicinal soup on the desk.

He slowly sat down and placed the book he had just taken from the bookshelf onto the table.

He opened the book and started reading.

Seeing that he did not have any reaction, Lin Xuecha called out to him again, "Your Highness?"

Su Nanxing's gaze was still fixated on the book, but he opened his mouth and said the first sentence.

"You were too frightened last night, so today you should return to your residence to take a good rest. Tomorrow, you still have to go to the Grand Guanyin Temple and pay respects."

"Excessive shock only belongs to last night. Today's tea would be better, but Your Highness, isn't she still sick?"

Lin Xuecha did not hide anything.

In any case, Su Nanxing knew her secret, even if Zi Hui was not his person, she still respected him.

She can't hide anything from him if he wants to know

Su Nanxing raised his eyes and looked at her.

"The way you put it, you actually care about This King."

Lin Xuecha nodded his head, "Your Highness is Snow Tea's master, I hope that she is healthy."

After hearing what he said, Su Nanxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

He turned his gaze back to the book and started reading again.

Seeing that Yue Yang was ignoring him, Lin Xuecha did not say anything more.

She had meant to test him.

But...

If he was really sick, at least half of the blame would go to her. She had to bear some of the responsibility, and on top of that, Su Nanxing had treated her quite well …

He still had to persuade her with words.

"His Highness has already been sick for a day or two, if His Highness doesn't cherish his own body, I'm afraid no one would be able to take care of him for him."

On her picturesque face, a faint smile could be seen.

The corner of the man's lips curled up slightly. His grasp of the angle was perfect, and he just so happened to be in the midst of a smile that was not a smile.

He closed the book and looked towards Lin Xuecha. "You, want to teach this king a lesson?"

How did this get to the point of teaching him a lesson?

Lin Xuecha was startled, but just as he was about to speak, Su Nanxing stood up.

In between his eyebrows, there was a trace of a smile, and when Lin Xuecha looked carefully, there was not even a trace of a smile.

It was as if what she had just seen was only an illusion.

He lifted her jaw and leaned close, the gesture, the gesture...

Lin Xuecha's heart jumped, she immediately raised her hand to reject him, "Your Highness!"

Su Nanxing paused slightly.

The two of them were extremely close, their lips less than an inch apart. As their breaths intertwined, a strange warmth slowly flowed in the air.

In a trance, the faint smell of medicine assaulted his nostrils, Lin Xuecha could not help but narrow his eyes.

The man stared into her eyes for a long moment before raising his hand and stroking her supple hair.

He said, "In this world, the only person who can teach this king a lesson can only... be this king's woman."

He lowered his eyes slightly, his head moving closer to her.

When Lin Xuecha's heart was beating rapidly and his eyes were almost wide open, he stopped what he was doing and asked three words in return with a light voice.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Xuecha did not dare make any big movements.

As long as she moved, she would definitely be able to touch him.

She could only blink madly and say, "I understand, I understand …"

The man curled his lips and loosened his grip on her jaw.

Lin Xuecha heaved a sigh of relief.

She was not afraid that Su Nanxing would act recklessly.

After all, no matter how Su Nanxing treated her, he would still know what to do.

Only, his aura was too strong.

He was also a person that she needed to cooperate with. She could not easily offend him.

She couldn't help but tense up, afraid that she would do something wicked to him.

The man took her expression into his eyes.

He slowly raised his eyes and was about to say something when he felt an itch in his throat and coughed dryly.

Lin Xuecha poured a cup of hot water for him and passed it to him.

He gently lifted his hand and pushed it away, not looking at her, but saying, "It's almost time, you should return home."

Lin Xuecha's eyes flashed, yes, more or less, she should be returning to her residence now.

She had not yet dealt with the old emperor who had given her a servant.

and...

The claws and fangs of that venomous scorpion woman were still waiting in the manor for her to return …

However, when she saw how hard Su Nanxing was coughing, she nearly replied him out of reflex.

"There's no need. Snowy, stay here and accompany His Highness in recuperating."

After saying that, she was stunned for a few seconds.

Su Nanxing was also slightly startled, he slowly looked back, and like a deep pool, he looked at her.

Lin Xuecha was shocked, and suddenly remembered that there was a Baili Lianer in the palace.

Although Baili Lianer always said what he would do to her, but …

In his opinion, Su Nanxing had treated her the best she had ever seen up till now.

Now that he was sick, even Baili Lianer did not care about him at all …

[What am I?

She lowered her head and was about to say something about her slip of the tongue.

He suddenly heard a man reply, "OK."

Good?

Lin Xuecha raised his eyes and looked at the man.

The man's expression was just as indifferent as his tone.

There were no undulations at all.

Lin Xuecha went silent, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak again.

In her sight, Su Nanxing slightly raised his lips, but returned back to normal.

He pointed to the inkstone on the desk and said to her, "Let's study the ink."

Su Nanxing called her to study the ink, it was really just study the ink.

Lin Xuecha looked at the soup, the medicine that Su Nanxing had ignored, and the porridge, and pursed his lips.

He did not say anything else.

He still remembered that yesterday, the Queen had scolded Baili Lianer and said that Su Nanxing was the one who was least pleased about it.

However, using medicine to control the illness was the best choice.

But after all, he was just Su Nanxing's disciple. He didn't have enough grounds to discipline.

He had also said that in this entire world, only his woman was qualified to teach him a lesson …

The rest, no.

Lin Xuecha lowered his head.

She looked at the black ink. Suddenly, her mind focused on a single point.

The smell off Su Nanxing's body just now...
