"Miss..."

Leaning against the headboard, Yuxing also looked at Chu Qianli. Her voice was still hoarse and weak.

But she was now clear-headed.

She quietly said, "The Prince... won’t want me, Miss... please... take me in, otherwise... I really don’t know where else to go."

"I can take you in, but this means you and Ding Chen will have to part ways. Are you willing?"

Chu Qianli was no fool. Seeing how Ding Chen had been diligently taking care of Yuxing during this time, could she not discern Ding Chen’s feelings for Yuxing?

It was just unclear whether Yuxing had the same feelings.

But these were matters she didn’t need to concern herself with now.

Other people’s relationships, other people’s business, were none of her concern.

Who would’ve thought Ding Chen would firmly say, "Where Yuxing is, I will be. If Yuxing wants to follow the Miss, then I also wish to follow the Miss."

Yuxing blushed, and her pale little face finally gained a touch of color.

After glancing at her, Ding Chen immediately looked at Chu Qianli: "Miss, I... I don’t have many demands, just to be well-fed and clothed warmly. I will be loyal to you."

"Are you so easily discarding your loyalty to your Prince?" Chu Qianli frowned, a hint of surprise flickering through her heart.

People of Feng Yexuan’s, would never change loyalties so easily.

"I... I..." Ding Chen was somewhat flustered, a flicker of something in his eyes, unsure of how to speak.

"Are you still obeying your Prince’s orders, staying to watch over my Miss?"

Fu Ning once greatly admired Feng Yexuan, but since the Miss had been harmed multiple times because of the Prince, Fu Ning now harbored resentment towards the Prince Residence’s people.

She could be lenient with Yuxing, as Yuxing was now recovering from a severe illness, but for Ding Chen, her tolerance was much lower.

If they intended to hurt the Miss any further, even at the cost of her life, Fu Ning would fight against them.

"I have not! I swear, I would never do anything to betray the Princess!"

Fu Ning glared at him, just now he clearly didn’t dare to speak out of guilt.

They were not blind; how could they not see that the Miss’s question was one he dared not answer?

Yuxing wanted to say something, but Chu Qianli waved her hand: "Enough, if you wish to stay, I’m happy to have two more helpers."

"Princess, I am truly... truly intending to seek refuge with you," Yuxing said hoarsely.

She had just woken up and did not yet understand much about the matters between the Princess and the Prince.

But hearing what they just discussed, she roughly understood.

The Prince... left the Princess, returned to Beiming, and seemed to have taken something that was detrimental to the Princess.

But only Ding Chen might know the whole truth about what had happened.

"Since I am a woman, now that the Prince knows, he definitely won’t allow me to stay by his side."

"If the Princess doesn’t want me either, I really... don’t know where to go."

"Alright, I will keep you."

"Miss..." Fu Ning was actually quite conflicted.

On one hand, she pitied Yuxing, but on the other hand, she still worried they might help the Prince harm the Princess.

Ding Chen knelt down once again, earnestly saying, "I swear upon my life, I will absolutely not do anything to betray the Princess. Please, Princess, see the truth in my sincerity!"

"Alright, this time, I believe you."

After instructing Yuxing on matters concerning her recovery, Chu Qianli left with Fu Ning.

Ding Chen supported Yuxing, intending to help her lie down and continue resting.

However, Yuxing looked at his face and hoarsely asked, "Tell me the truth, did the Prince ask you to stay here?"
