Mo Qinghuan returned to her room and leaned back in the chair in front of the writing desk, staring blankly out of the window. The sky gradually darkened, and lanterns were lit in the courtyard.
She thought about what had happened during the day and the injured A Si, and couldn't help sighing.
She had finally witnessed Mu Yanming's methods today, as well as the fear that his subordinates showed from the bottom of their hearts when facing him.
For this, she let out another long and helpless sigh. Actually, she had known from the start that the rumored Mu Yanming was such a person. But because he had never shown such a temper in front of her, she had gotten used to this side of him. That's why she couldn't accept what had happened today for a while.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the window. Mo Qinghuan, who was in a daze, was startled.
She covered her chest and glared at Bai Ke.
Bai Ke stood outside the window anxiously, with his hands propped on the window frame. "Princess, the prince has locked himself in the study for a whole day and hasn't eaten anything. Please go and check on him."
Mo Qinghuan stood up, walked to the window, and raised her hand to close it. But Bai Ke blocked her hand with his own. "Princess, you're not really going to ignore him, are you?"
She let out a cold laugh and increased the force on her hand to close the window. But Bai Ke was stronger, so they were at a stalemate.
Finally, she couldn't break free and suddenly let go. Bai Ke didn't expect her to do so and staggered. He almost fell on the window frame but managed to hold on in time. "Princess, please go and take a look."
Mo Qinghuan sighed, lifted her dress, and walked out of the room. Bai Ke quickly followed. "Princess, this subordinate knew you cared about the prince."
"Humph, it's just that you're too annoying! If he doesn't eat or drink, it means he's not hungry."
Mo Qinghuan first went to the kitchen and fetched some food. Come to think of it, she had been in the room for half a day. Why hadn't Dan'er and Shuang'er come to call her for dinner today...
But she didn't have time to think about it. Bai Ke urged her again.
"Princess, please hurry up."
Mo Qinghuan rolled her eyes, carried the food, and headed towards Jingting Courtyard.
When she arrived at Jingting Courtyard, the two guards tried to stop her. But Bai Ke glared at them, and they lowered their heads and withdrew their hands.
Mo Qinghuan couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I didn't expect that I, the Princess Regent, don't have as much face as Bai Ke!"
She walked in, raised her hand, and knocked on the door. Almost at the same time, Mu Yanming threw a cup over. The cup hit the ground and shattered.
Mo Qinghuan heard the sound of the cup breaking and angrily kicked the door open.
Mu Yanming had his hands propped on his forehead. When he heard the door being kicked open, he looked up slightly in surprise. Seeing it was Mo Qinghuan, he didn't say anything and lowered his head again to look at the book on the desk.
Mo Qinghuan walked over and directly placed the food heavily on his book. Mu Yanming was already in a rather irritable mood. With Mo Qinghuan's action, he frowned, not even looking at her. "Take it away!"
Seeing him being so fierce, Mo Qinghuan turned around and was about to leave. Mu Yanming frowned, raised his hand as if to hold her back, but hesitated in mid-air and finally put it down.
When Mo Qinghuan reached the door, Mu Yanming said coldly, "Close the door."
Mo Qinghuan angrily kicked the door and walked away directly.
Bai Ke, who was waiting at the door, saw Mo Qinghuan coming out so soon and quickly stepped forward.
"How is it? Did the prince eat?"
Mo Qinghuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Bai Ke speechlessly. "Bai Ke, since you're so worried about your prince, why don't you go in and feed him?"
Seeing that Mo Qinghuan was as angry as if she had taken gunpowder, Bai Ke knew that the two of them must have had another unpleasant encounter inside. He lowered his head in shame.
He had originally wanted to help ease the conflict between the two, but now it seemed that the conflict between them had become even more serious.
"Bai Ke, I'm telling you, don't come to me again!" She said as she put down her arms and went to look for Dan'er and Shuang'er.
As soon as she entered the side room, she smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
When Dan'er saw her coming in, she quickly put down the medicine bowl and stood up. "Miss, why are you here?"
Mo Qinghuan pinched her nose, walked to the window, and pushed open one of the windows.
"What's going on? Why are you boiling medicine in the room? Who's sick?" She walked towards the bed and saw Shuang'er lying pale on the bed.
She then looked at Dan'er and found that Dan'er's complexion wasn't very good either.
"Dan'er, I'm asking you a question."
Dan'er lowered her head. "Replying to miss, Shuang'er suddenly had a high fever last night and it wouldn't go down. I thought it was because she caught a cold from the rain, so I went directly to the steward to get some medicine for wind-cold. But after Shuang'er took it, it didn't seem to have any effect. Then, when I got up this morning, I found that I had the same symptoms as Shuang'er. I was worried about spreading the illness, so I boiled the medicine alone in the room."
After listening, Mo Qinghuan frowned tightly and stepped forward to check Dan'er, but was dodged by Dan'er.
"Miss, please go out quickly. If you really catch the illness, this servant will never be able to atone for her crime!" Dan'er said as she took several steps back.
Seeing this, Mo Qinghuan frowned. "Are you not even going to listen to me now? Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor!"
Dan'er bit her lip, indicating that she still didn't want Mo Qinghuan to get close.
Shuang'er got up and knelt on the bed. "Miss, we sisters really can't implicate you. Please go out quickly."
Mo Qinghuan was already extremely angry because of Bai Ke and Mu Yanming. Seeing the two of them like this, the fire in her heart burned even more vigorously.
She took a few steps forward, grabbed Dan'er's hand, and silently thought in her heart, "Activate the Medical and Poison Space and start a body scan."
"The space has been activated. Scanning begins."
Dan'er still wanted to pull her hand back, but when Mo Qinghuan glared at her, she immediately shut up and obediently let her feel her pulse.
"Scanning completed. It's a herpes disease. Please take anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs orally as soon as possible and cooperate with atomization for treatment."
"Open your mouth. Let me take a look at your throat."
Dan'er obediently opened her mouth. Mo Qinghuan saw that Dan'er's tongue coating was yellow, and there were herpes on her tonsils and the soft palate in her mouth.
She then called Shuang'er over. "You open your mouth too. Let me take a look."
Shuang'er did the same. After the examination, Mo Qinghuan found that the symptoms of the two sisters were indeed the same.
"Miss, is this disease contagious?" Dan'er nervously grabbed her clothes.
Mo Qinghuan sighed. She knew that Dan'er was worried about her, so the anger in her heart subsided.
"Don't worry. As long as you're careful, it won't be contagious. But did you two share the same bowls and chopsticks?"
Dan'er thought for a while. "We use separate utensils for eating, but we do pick food for each other when we eat."
Mo Qinghuan nodded. "That's right. Remember, from today on, you must be careful. Make sure not to do this again to prevent cross-infection. Also, boil all the used items in boiling water, open the window for ventilation, and eat lightly these days."
Dan'er nodded vigorously, and Shuang'er also said that she understood.
After giving instructions to Dan'er on what to pay attention to, Mo Qinghuan was about to return to her room to prepare medicine for the two of them.
On the way, she was still wondering if Mu Yanming would be so angry that he wouldn't come back to sleep tonight.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Mu Yanming had already returned. He was sitting in front of the bed with a frown.
