Chapter 254: Chapter 255 Yingying I Miss You So Much

Ye Yunting’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Hmm."

After ensuring Chu Nanli was properly settled, Ye Yunting strode out.

Lin Fuying watched Ye Yunting set down Chu Nanli and walk towards her, feeling a surge of triumph in her heart.

She laughed and stepped forward, throwing herself into Ye Yunting’s arms.

"Yunting brother, I’ve missed you so much these past days," Yingying said.

Ye Yunting frowned slightly and stepped back gently, a retreat too subtle for outsiders to notice, but Lin Fuying saw it.

Was he showing his disdain for her?

Lin Fuying clenched her teeth, her delicate hand grabbing Ye Yunting’s arm, "Yunting brother, how have you been these days? Look at you, you’ve lost weight?"

As she spoke, she cast a triumphant glance at Chu Nanli.

The reason she deliberately acted affectionate with Ye Yunting at the doorway was to show Chu Nanli inside that she was the one Ye Yunting liked the most!

"It’s nothing. Let’s go and see the Princess Consort," Ye Yunting said as he glanced at the hand clutching his sleeve. This time, he did not shake it off.

He walked away without looking back.

Lin Fuying felt even more triumphant and turned to look at Chu Nanli, "Then, sister, rest well."

Her gaze was deliberately provocative, but she failed to see the sadness in Chu Nanli’s expression.

Lin Fuying thought to herself that Chu Nanli must be putting on a brave face and was probably dying of grief inside.

Lin Fuying followed Ye Yunting out of the palace, her mood very pleasant.

But as soon as they left the Jade Consort’s palace, Ye Yunting’s hand let go of hers.

Lin Fuying’s heart tightened, and a flicker of displeasure passed through her eyes.

She spoke with a tone of grievance, "Yunting brother, are you perhaps upset that Yingying hasn’t been attending to you these days?"

"Not at all," Ye Yunting replied coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.

Lin Fuying could not tell if he was really angry or not.

She could only explain, feeling aggrieved, "Yunting brother, it’s not that Yingying didn’t want to attend to you, but Yingying is frail. If I really caught smallpox coming here, it would only cause more trouble for sister."

Lin Fuying walked in front of Ye Yunting and started sobbing, "Brother, don’t blame Yingying, woo woo, Yingying didn’t stay away for fear of catching smallpox..."

Seeing Lin Fuying crying like a rain-beaten pear flower, Ye Yunting raised his hand to pat her shoulder and spoke with a gentle expression, "Alright, I’m not blaming you."

A flush of joy washed over Lin Fuying’s face.

"Really?"

Ye Yunting nodded, "Of course. You’re unwell, and coming here wouldn’t be any help, only risking illness."

Lin Fuying smiled happily, pursing her lips.

"Yunting brother indeed cares for Yingying the most."

"Hmm, let’s go," Ye Yunting replied indifferently and quickened his pace toward Yang Shu Consort’s palace.

With a smug smile, Lin Fuying followed him.

Upon arriving at Consort Yang Shu’s palace, Lulu went ahead to announce their arrival, and it took a quarter of an hour before Consort Yang Shu emerged from the inner chamber.

Lin Fuying saw that Consort Yang Shu’s cheeks were rosy and guessed she had just left Qiu Bai’s bed.

Lin Fuying scoffed inwardly, "Tsk, such an old woman, yet so immodest."

As soon as Consort Yang Shu saw Ye Yunting, she flung herself towards him excitedly.

"My son Yunting, I heard you’ve been ill, are you feeling better?" she asked eagerly.

"Yes, I’m better," Ye Yunting responded flatly.

"You’ve suffered these days, your mother has been so worried about you," said Consort Yang Shu, her voice trembling as if she was on the verge of tears.

Lin Fuying secretly ridiculed her from the sidelines; Consort Yang Shu had been living comfortably these past days and hadn’t seemed worried at all.

Ye Yunting’s frown deepened slightly, "It’s fine."

He wasn’t used to Consort Yang Shu getting too close.

When he was younger, his mother never showed such affection, and he certainly didn’t need it now.

Seeing Ye Yunting’s resistance, Consort Yang Shu no longer approached him.

"Your mother missed you these days. Now that you’re better, why not stay in your mother’s palace today?" Consort Yang Shu asked.

"Alright," Ye Yunting agreed, though somewhat displeased.

Lin Fuying’s eyes flickered with a hint of triumph.

Yunting, her brother, would now stay in the same palace as her, finally free from the trappings of that little wretch Chu Nanli.

She looked at Yang Shu, the Princess Consort, feigning gratitude.

All her days of fawning over and serving the Princess Consort had not been in vain.

It had been Yang Shu’s idea to have Ye Yunting stay in the palace.

Therefore, after a simple dinner, they each returned to their own palaces to rest.

Along the way, Lin Fuying’s slender hand once again slipped into Ye Yunting’s sleeve.

"Brother Yunting, all the palaces are occupied," Lin Fuying murmured with shy lips.

She boldly looked at Ye Yunting with a meaningful glint in her eyes, the intent clear as day.

Yet Ye Yunting didn’t even glance at her, continuing to walk forward.

"How about the Prince stays in Yingying’s chamber?" Seeing that Ye Yunting was unmoved, Lin Fuying could only speak up directly.

Ye Yunting kept walking forward, expressionless, and said in a cold voice, "No need, I will go to the study room."

Having said that, he walked briskly ahead, leaving Lin Fuying standing there alone.

Lin Fuying stamped her feet in anger.

"Hmph! Why!"

"It’s all because of you, you wretched Chu Nanli!" Lin Fuying hissed through clenched teeth.

At that moment, Chu Nanli, who was in her space examining her fetus, couldn’t help but sneeze.

Seeing this, Nanny Hua hurried over in concern, "Your Highness, what’s wrong? You haven’t caught smallpox too, have you?"

Chu Nanli shook her head, "It’s nothing."

She had been vaccinated and would not get infected.

Nanny Hua saw that Chu Nanli’s expression quickly returned to normal and felt a bit relieved.

"Your Highness, come with me."

Nanny Hua led Chu Nanli into the kitchen.

As soon as she entered, Chu Nanli saw a box of dark pills that had been neatly packaged.

"What is this?" asked Chu Nanli, puzzled.

"These are the nourishing pills that I made for you. They’re made with ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, black sesame seeds..." Nanny Hua droned on about the crafting process, and Chu Nanli was somewhat surprised; she had not expected Nanny Hua to know how to make these.

"I noticed you always take tonic medicines when you enter the space, so I thought these would be more convenient for you to have on hand," said Nanny Hua.

A mix of emotions stirred in Chu Nanli’s heart.

She had spared Nanny Hua’s life, but only so that she would work well in the space.

She hadn’t expected her to do such things.

"Um, thank you," said Chu Nanli, offering a brief word of thanks before leaving the space.

No sooner had she left the space than the Princess Consort appeared outside the chamber door waiting for her.

"Nanli, you finally came out. The imperial edict has arrived," the Princess Consort said joyously.

"An imperial edict?" Chu Nanli was mildly curious.

"Yes, come with me quickly to the front courtyard to receive the decree."

Chu Nanli followed the Princess Consort to the front courtyard.

The eunuch proclaiming the edict was Laifu, who served close to the Emperor.

His face was full of joy, and he looked upon Chu Nanli with utmost respect.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, ’Summon Chu Nanli for an audience.’

Chu Nanli offered her thanks, receiving the imperial edict with a touch of surprise.

The fact that Laifu had personally delivered the edict showed the Emperor’s seriousness about seeing her.

"Eunuch, why does His Majesty wish to see me this time?" Chu Nanli tentatively asked.

"The Princess Consort has made significant contributions to the treatment of smallpox. The Emperor has decreed rewards for your merits," Laifu said gleefully.
