Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Take Care

"She will certainly come out to see me..."

As Ye Yunting spoke, he suddenly felt a wrenching pain in his heart, followed by a wave of dizziness.

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed into the mud.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yi dared not linger outside any longer and hurriedly carried the man back to the Prince Residence.

By the time Chu Nanli came out of the space, the rain had already stopped outside.

She had not made any particular effort to gather information, but Yanyan still went out to take a look.

There was no longer any sign of Ye Yunting outside the door.

Hearing this news, Chu Nanli still breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been feeling out of sorts these past couple of days and really didn’t want to get entangled with Ye Yunting too much.

And Ye Yunting, having just been brought back to the Prince Residence, had developed a high fever.

The news quickly reached Lin Fuying.

"Is Yunting brother still in a coma?"

For Lin Fuying, this news was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

She might not be able to change Ye Yunting’s mind right now, but she could change how others perceived her.

If she stayed by Ye Yunting’s side, caring for him meticulously while supposedly "pregnant",

then even if Ye Yunting wanted to settle accounts with her when he woke up, he would have to consider public opinion.

Having made this decision, Lin Fuying quickly walked to the door.

Little did she know that the guards, who she used to disregard, now dared to block her path.

With a look from Lin Fuying, Xiaoyun directly spoke up: "You are quite bold, daring to stop the Concubine!"

"If the Prince learns of this, can you bear the consequences?"

"Please forgive us, Concubine. We are following the Prince’s orders to stand guard here. The Prince has said that you are not allowed to leave the courtyard without his permission."

Within the War King Residence, Ye Yunting’s commands were naturally the most important.

They did indeed want to curry favor with Lin Fuying, but if they were blamed by the Prince, the consequences would likewise be unimaginable.

"I’m just having a small disagreement with Yunting brother. Besides, now that Yunting brother is unconscious, how could I possibly have peace of mind?"

Lin Fuying lightly framed her dispute with Ye Yunting as a temporary conflict.

After all, ever since she entered the Prince Residence, she had been perceived by outsiders as Ye Yunting’s favorite.

Now, she needed to make others believe that Ye Yunting’s disfavor was only temporary.

It wouldn’t be long before she could regain Ye Yunting’s affection once more.

That way, she wouldn’t be looked down upon too much by others.

"If my worry for Yunting brother affects the child in my belly, you wouldn’t be able to explain to Yunting brother, would you?"

Seeing that Lin Fuying was even bringing up the child in her womb, the guards at the door no longer dared to stop her.

Lin Fuying hurried to the main courtyard, just in time to encounter Ye Yi leading the Imperial Physician inside.

She didn’t wait for Ye Yi to speak and asked directly: "How is Yunting brother?"

"The Prince just had a persistent high fever; the Imperial Physician has just arrived and has yet to treat him."

After all, there had just been a conflict, and Ye Yi didn’t dare allow Bai Wuheng to come over to argue over the unconscious Ye Yunting.

"I want to go in to see him."

Upon learning that Ye Yunting’s fever had not subsided, Lin Fuying was even more delighted.

Of course, she suppressed her glee well, appearing to anyone as simply concerned for Ye Yunting.

"But..."

Ye Yi, facing Lin Fuying’s request, was naturally extremely hesitant.

He spent all day by Ye Yunting’s side and knew very well how much Ye Yunting currently detested Lin Fuying.

If the Prince woke to find Lin Fuying there, he might fly into a rage again.

"What’s the matter? I am still the Prince Residence’s Concubine, after all."

Lin Fuying looked at Ye Yi’s current state and felt even more aggrieved.

"Yunting is unwell, and you won’t let me stay by his side to care for him. Are you planning to find someone else to take care of him?"

Having been struck by setbacks over the past few days, she had no desire to maintain her usually gentle demeanor in front of others.

"Move aside!"

Ye Yi, considering Lin Fuying’s "child", ultimately dared not stop her.

He could only let her go in.

...

Ye Yunting had been sick for several days.

It had almost caused a stir in the palace.

During this time, Lin Fuying had been tirelessly caring for him, right up until he awoke.

Even without trying, Chu Nanli was aware that Ye Yunting had fallen ill.

She wished he would remain ill a little longer, so he wouldn’t come to bother her again.

In the past few days, Chu Nanli had not just stayed in her courtyard, but had also made a few outings.

The Jici Academy was almost ready.

Chu Nanli also had people start spreading the word around the area.

As for how to manage it in the future, she already had plans in mind.

However, unexpected events were more frequent than she had anticipated.

When Lin Xuanxuan arrived, her face looked as if the sky had fallen.

"Something terrible has happened, Nanli!"

Before she spoke, Chu Nanli had really thought something significant had occurred.

After listening to her, the expression on Chu Nanli’s face was even more difficult to describe.

"Are you saying someone left a child at our doorstep?"

"Exactly," Lin Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, "I had someone check, and it’s a baby girl who was just born!"

This was the first time she had seen such a small child.

Lying in swaddling clothes made of old rags, it seemed as if she would fall apart with the slightest touch.

After hearing Lin Xuanxuan’s account, Chu Nanli guessed the origin of the child.

It must’ve been the villagers from the nearby village who had a baby but did not want to raise her, so they abandoned her at the doorstep.

Especially since the abandoned one was a girl.

Although her place was called Jici Academy, she couldn’t accept these children unconditionally.

If that were the case, everything would become chaotic.

"Take me to see her first."

Chu Nanli did not want to delay and planned to go straight there.

But Lin Xuanxuan was still hesitant, "Maybe you shouldn’t go. Although it’s a bit of a dilemma, we are not unable to raise that child."

"If we can’t find the parents, we might as well just keep her."

Lin Xuanxuan made this choice, naturally because of her kind nature.

The most malicious person she had ever seen was no more than Lin Fuying’s kind.

"No, I must go and see for myself."

Chu Nanli shook her head, her considerations were clearly far more comprehensive than what Lin Xuanxuan knew.

Seeing Chu Nanli’s determination, Lin Xuanxuan dared not let her go alone and hurriedly followed her.

After arriving in the capital suburbs, Chu Nanli quickly saw the child.

The baby girl had clearly just been born, tiny and skinny. Perhaps she had just been soothed to sleep, her little face still wrinkled, looking so pitiable.

Lin Xuanxuan spoke with emotion: "You don’t know, I had a nanny come over earlier, and she said that this little girl has gone almost a whole day and night without food."

"But there’s no recently delivered woman nearby the estate, so I could only have someone go get some sheep’s milk to feed her."
