At the Chu Residence.

“Qingzhi, you must come with me to save Lu Yichen. He’s running a high fever, and I don’t know how long it’s been. If it continues, he might end up with brain damage.”

Chu Qingzhi was stunned.

Following Wu Yaqing, Chu Qingzhi arrived at a secluded courtyard.

On the way, Wu Yaqing explained the situation to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi silently thought about how the classic story of a domineering CEO rescuing his love interest was completely reversed in Wu Yaqing’s case. She was somewhat curious to know what Lu Yichen must have felt and thought at the moment of his rescue.

“He’s been in the water for too long.” After giving Lu Yichen a medicinal pill, Chu Qingzhi said, “He should recover from the fever soon. After that, he just needs to rest.”

“Thank you, Qingzhi.”

“Yaqing, do you know why Lu Yichen willingly went back to be punished?” Knowing Lu Yichen’s martial arts skills, he wouldn’t have ended up imprisoned unless he had chosen to.

Wu Yaqing nodded and said sadly, “For his mother, but I think it’s unlikely. Lu Yichen has an older brother, his father’s favorite son. It’s unlikely they would harm their mother.”

“Wait a minute!” Chu Qingzhi was confused, “What brother?”

Wu Yaqing took out a letter from her garment and handed it to Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, take a look.”

After quickly reading the letter, Chu Qingzhi was surprised by Lu Yichen’s identity. She folded the letter and returned it to Wu Yaqing, “Why did you investigate Lu Yichen?”

Wu Yaqing was evasive and hesitant, “Well, I… I…”

Seeing that Wu Yaqing didn’t want to explain, Chu Qingzhi didn’t press further, “Alright, I won’t ask. Take good care of him. I need to leave.”

Wu Yaqing quickly asked, “Don’t you need to write a prescription?”

“No, one pill is enough.”

Wu Yaqing saw Chu Qingzhi off, “Be careful on your way back.”

“Okay.”

After sending Chu Qingzhi off, Wu Yaqing returned to the room and sat beside the bed, tracing Lu Yichen’s firm and handsome face with her gaze.

“Your life has been so hard. Even though you have parents and the closest brother, it’s hard to meet them, and even the environments you live in are starkly opposite.”

“Your brother grew up in luxury, while you grew up in darkness and constant danger. The fact that you grew up at all is a miracle.”

“Lu Yichen, you won’t suffer anymore. 1 will protect you.”

Wu Yaqing lay down beside the bed and fell asleep, her murmuring voice fading away. At this moment, Lu Yichen opened his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the girl beside the bed, his gaze gentle.

His fingers moved. He slowly raised his hand and gently touched Wu Yaqing’s head. “Little girl, thank you for doing this for me.”

A faint smile appeared on his lips, a heartfelt and sincere smile.

But the next second, his smile froze.

He looked at his bare arms and immediately touched his body. He was not wearing anything. He was not wearing any clothes! Where were his clothes?

His gaze searched the room and finally landed on his clothes hanging on a rack, soaking wet with a puddle of water on the floor.

The question now was, who undressed him?

His gaze shifted to Wu Yaqing. It couldn’t be her, right? She was a lady and wouldn’t be so bold. It must have been someone brought by Wu Yaqing who undressed him. Yes, that must be it.

Comforting himself, he felt much better.

Wu Yaqing, worried about Lu Yichen, wasn’t sleeping deeply. She woke up groggily, not yet opening her eyes, and reached out to touch Lu Yichen’s forehead. Feeling that his fever had subsided, she sighed with relief, “The fever’s gone.”

Lu Yichen’s body froze. The hand on his forehead was delicate and warm. It was like a layer of soft silk against his skin. After a while, seeing that Wu Yaqing did not move her hand away, he asked unnaturally, “Are you done touching it?”

Wu Yaqing was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, “You’re awake?”

Lu Yichen replied, “I’ve been awake for a while.”

“Oh, oh,” Wu Yaqing quickly got up, “Are you hungry? Should 1 make you something to eat?”

“There’s no need.” The gentleness in Lu Yichen’s eyes disappeared and his gaze turned cold. “Now that I’m fine, can you leave?”

Wu Yaqing didn’t know what to say.

“I saved you, and this is how you treat me?”

Lu Yichen indifferently said, “Thank you for saving me. I owe you my life. If you ever want to take it, feel free to do so.”

Wu Yaqing stared at Lu Yichen in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe his ingratitude, “You… you…”

“If there’s nothing else, please leave,” Lu Yichen said, then turned over, showing his back to Wu Yaqing.

I’m sorry, but saving me from the cell doesn’t solve the problem. 1 can’t be near you now, or it will definitely bring you danger. Once I’ve resolved everything, I’ll come to apologize to you.

Wu Yaqing stomped her feet. She was so angry that her breathing quickened. She said angrily, “I’ll just treat it as saving an ingrate. It’s too infuriating! It’s too infuriating!!”

Muttering under her breath, Wu Yaqing stormed out of the courtyard in a huff.

Lu Yichen listened to her retreating footsteps, silently apologizing in his heart several times.

“Boohoo…”

Wu Yaqing hugged Chu Qingzhi aggrievedly and cried loudly. “Qingzhi, I’ve never suffered such a grievance. That ingrate… He’s too ungrateful.”

Chu Qingzhi wasn’t sure what had happened and struggled to hold back her laughter, “Yaqing, he might have his reasons.”

“Can’t he tell me his reasons?”

“Can’t 1 help him solve the problem?”

“Damn man, do i look weak?”

“Wasn’t i able to rescue him from prison? Doesn’t that prove my strength?”

“I’m a princess, the most prestigious and richest in An Huai Kingdom. What problem can’t 1 solve?”

“That ungrateful wretch, he not only forgets favors but also looks down on people. He’s gone too far!”

“Boohoo…”

Chu Qingzhi almost couldn’t help laughing, “Yaqing…”

Wu Yaqing sobbed and acted coquettishly, “Qingzhi, don’t try to comfort me. Let me cry for a while; I’ll be fine after I’m done crying.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s back and couldn’t help but laugh silently. Yaqing was too cute. “Alright, take your time to cry. After you’ve cried, you’ll feel better.”

Shen Ruyue entered Chu Qingzhi’s room and saw Wu Yaqing crying. She immediately asked with concern, “What happened?”

Wu Yaqing wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned to Shen Ruyue, and said, “I had a bit of trouble and needed to cry it out. I’m fine now.”

“Is the issue resolved? If not, you can talk about it. We can think of a solution together.”

“It’s resolved. I’m fine now.”

Shen Ruyue didn’t ask further and turned to Chu Qingzhi, “The little monk and the abbot will continue their journey. They are waiting at the door to say goodbye to you.”

“I understand,” Chu Qingzhi replied, patting Wu Yaqing’s shoulder before leaving the room..
